Koichiro Oota — memorable quote from Gunbuster

“You need someone else to become more disciplined. No matter how hard you try by yourself, there´s a limit.”

“Little man! Don't talk small , and say your goal is to become like me. You should become a master of your own game.”

“Why do I want to win so much...? Everyone takes up soccer for different reasons. But we all have a passion for the sport... That drive carries us through a game, even if we lose. If we win, it pushes us forward to the next game. The winners of the game honour the losers by playing with everything they have... and until we hit a wall, until a better team beats us, we should try our best, instead of running away. That's what I want to do!”

“Each one of them has something to improve. Victory doesn't come from technique or power alone. In the end, what's needed is a heart that won't give up. The only question is -- Do they have what it takes to push beyond their limits?”

“You guys sure are a worthless bunch. If you wanna wallow in your tears, save it for after you've done everything you can!”
