Hiruma Youichi — memorable quote from Eyeshield 21

“It may be hard right now... But you must silence those thoughts! Stop counting only those things that you have lost! What is gone, is gone! So ask yourself this: What is there... that still remains to you?!”

“It's okay to make mistakes. In fact, you should. Making mistakes is how you learn to do it right. Getting a good result isn't the only thing. What matters is that you play your best during the game.”

“What's the use of looking towards the past? If past data dictates reality... then our 33,1 winning percentage last year means we shouldn't even be playing the Mariners and their 66,7 winning percentage.”

“Stand up! lift your faces! Take up your weapons! Look at that boy. He's so weak and fragile a breath could blow him away and he's unarmed! He is a powerless boy, whose defeat I have seen with my own eyes! He's weaker than anyone else here! Yet he's shouting louder than anyone that we can still do this so how can we sit down, with downcast gaze? If our weakest man has not given up how is kneeling in defeat acceptable for us? Did you come this far to wallow in shame?”

“This is our show. We're the ones who are writing the script.”
