"The popular will win, the hated will los…" — Garou Quote

"If you weren't here, I would have become the world's absolute evil. Unbiased terror scattered throughout the world that can establish real peace. Don't think that all children are waiting for heroes. There are even kids around the world waiting for a great monster to take the stage. Can you save them? Can you follow the ugly kid being picked on in the park? I can. I can save the whole world with terror! While humanity is fearing Garou the Monster, everyone's hearts will unite to survive. Is there any peace other than this? Can you create peace? Can you, unbiased, save the world with that flimsy cape? Do you have the means to stop the unseen tragedies? You're strong... but so what? You may defeat me, but can you handle it? The responsibility. Well? If you're going to defeat me then answer the question! What will you accomplish? Why will you kill me now? Do you have a sense of duty like mine? Why are YOU a hero!?"

"I'm not a hero because I want your approval. I do it because I want to!"

"If you really want to be strong... Stop caring about what your surrounding thinks of you!"

— Saitama · One Punch Man

"Is that really... the limit to your power? Do you honestly think that you won't get any stronger for the rest of your life? Instead of sitting around frustrated, it's better to keep on moving forward."

— Saitama · One Punch Man

"If this is the path you choose to walk... I will not interfere. But if you turn the people against you... Will you be able to function as a hero? This worries me. But if you ever get in a tight spot... I will be there."

— Genos · One Punch Man

"You are too young to worry about failure. In a pinch, just muddle through. The outcome won't change, so that's best."
