Naruto Uzumaki: “Believe it”
Honestly, there was no way this phrase wasn’t going to make the list. The hero utters the saying every other sentence.
Kenshirou: “You are already dead.”
If you hear any anime guru say this to you, run away as fast as possible. They are taking after the hero of Fist of the North Star, and they may not hesitate to swing.
Monkey D. Luffy: “I’m gonna’ become the Pirate King!”
Well, at least the One Piece lead knows what he wants in life. Captain Luffy has one dream in life, and that is to become the best pirate to sails the seas. So, is there any better way to keep himself focused by saying this phrase every hour or so?
Heiji Hattori: “Yo Kudou!”
Detective Conan fans will be familiar with this simple phrase. Heiji Hattori seems to use it as a tick these days, and the aspiring sleuth can’t seem to make himself stop.
Jotaro Kujo: “Good grief.”
When this JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure character is about to blow, you will surely hear this phrase. Jotaro is a straightforward guy, and he doesn’t like to be bothered. So, really, it’s rather sad that life seems to keep.
Nico Yazawa: “Nico Nico Nii!”
These days, there is no anime catchphrase more popular than this one from Love Live! The adorable series may follow a group of fledgling school idols, but Nico stood out thanks to her adorable callout. The fandom has since adopted the phrase and used “Nico Nico Nii” as a full-out meme generator.
