10. Jiraiya ( Anime quotes from Naruto)

“The true measure of a shinobi is not how he lives but how he dies. It’s not what they do in life but what they did before dying that proves their worth.”

About Jiraiya

Jiraiya is a well-known Shinobi of Konoha and among the highly-respected Legendary Sannin. Jiraiya is also the sensei of Naruto Uzumaki, the anime series’ main protagonist. In spite of his perverted mind, Jiraiya is a shinobi deserving of praise. His abilities can be matched by only a few. As a matter of fact, Jiraiya is considered one of the most effective Konoha ninjas. Jiraiya might not candidly reveal it but he treats Naruto more than an adherent. What Naruto fails to see is that Jiraiya is more than ready to give up his very own life for him. Jiraiya did everything to train Naruto as well as protect him from the hands of the well-known Akatsuki. Though Jiraiya died in the hands of Pain, his very first disciple, he ultimately succeeded in sharpening Naruto as the next guard of Konoha.

7. Makarov Dreyar ( Anime quotes Fairy Tail)

“Weaklings will stay weak forever. But weakness is not evil, since human beings are weak creatures to begin with.

The clumsy ones will walk into more walls than the others, and it may also take them longer to get there. If you believe in tomorrow and put yourself out there, you can naturally obtain your strength. That’s how you will be able to smile and live strong.”

About Mikami Teru

Mikami Teru replaced Light when the fuzz got too close to him. He initially appeared to be a faithful follower of Light’s will, much like Misa Amane. As the story progressed, however, it became clear that he held a more harsh, binary view of good and evil.

Light wanted people to follow Kira’s will. Mikami Teru used Death Note to exact justice against everyone and anyone with a criminal history. He believes there is no room for change. Every person comes into this world with predetermined goodness. The only way to make it better is to eliminate the bad people as soon as possible.
