Eijiro Kirishima has red eyes that are slightly inwards and have a small scar above his right eye that actually adds up to his look.
The main thing about Eijiro is his personality. He is a very outgoing guy that has a fondness for the concept of “Manliness”. Throughout the series, we have witnessed him many mentioning the terms “manly” and “unmanly” based on someone’s action. He has a very weird personality of judging people by their actions. If someone did something noble, brave, and determined, he tends to give them all of his respect and admiration. But if someone did something opposite to it, prepare to listen to words like coward, unmanly, and whatnot.
His personality is what makes it really interesting to listen to what he says, how he has one or other things to say in altogether different situations. He tends his mood and lets out some encouraging words that are enough to make your blood rush with adrenaline. So, let’s check out the best quotes Eijiro Kirishima has said in the entire series of My Hero Academia.

Best Eijiro Kirishima Quotes
Before we start mentioning some sentences and phrases quoted by Eijiro, we would like to tell you that the quotes mentioned below are from the whole series My Hero Academia both manga and anime. These are English-translated versions of episodes and chapters for the quotes that might not be mentioned in English. But the actual meaning and very depth of the quote will be there with the respective quotes. Stick till the end to know everything you need to know about this matter. Let’s start quoting.
“They might be really hurt, we can’t just let them die here”
From the personality traits above, we get to know that Eijiro is a very arrogant man that only judges a person based on his bravery, determination, and actions of their strengths. But when we talk about Eijiro, he is not only arrogant and bragging. He also has this kind and gentle side that comes up from time to time. Eijiro is very kind-hearted and has a straightforward way of thinking and living. He has this fixed code and motives that make him live without regrets.
He not always goes around with strong people but has the same respectful and encouraging attitude as every kind of person. This personality trait of his makes it very easy for him to make friends. The quote above is also associated with his kind personality trait. Here he is asking to help someone who is in need, probably very hurt, so he can’t leave them behind.
“These dudes are acting really though, but we can take them down”
This is something that Eijiro Kirishima might say almost every time. He is that tough dude who can make you crawl in no time. While standing against a powerful opponent, not many people are able to keep that attitude. But Eijiro is one of the exceptions, not because he is being arrogant, but because he is very powerful. He is one of those students who are rated as top-ranked heroes and one of the most powerful characters from My Hero Academia. However, being like this is super awesome. It makes the opponent doubt his life decision. Being confident is the solution to solve any difficulty that comes in life. While being overconfident can lead us to have the opposite results.

“Oh! that doesn’t sound Heroic at all”
Yes, this is not heroic at all. You are standing in front of Eijiro Kirishima, aka Sturdy Hero: Red Riot, and you are acting like a coward. This is not it. This quote sounds typically “Eijiro”. I don’t have to add anything. This is something that Eijiro would have said to someone who is not matching to his expectation. His expectations for someone to be very brave, determined, and most importantly, manly. He expects everyone, even his opponent, to act brave, fight hard to defeat him, be determined to stand against the opponent till the end. Otherwise, you are going to hear some good “not-so motivational words from Eijiro.
From another context also, sometimes in real life, we come face to face with these types of situations where we feel ourselves being cowardly. At that time, these words from Eijrio play in a loop in our brain, and it helps a lot.
“Instead of small tricks, I need to bulldoze my way through”
This is what everyone needs to do. Eijiro is one of those characters who doesn’t sit back until he gets what he wants. When the small tricks and tries don’t work anymore, he will bulldoze of the hurdles and get his way out. This is what we should do as human beings. There are moments in life when we feel like giving up, but this is not heroic at all (Eijiro’s voice inserted). We should try so hard until we get our way out. Even when the problem is not solved, the mess is not clearing up. We should act like a bulldozer to bulldoze all the problems or should act like a vacuum cleaner to clean all the mess that life throws at us.
This is what life is about, we should never give up, and someday, good things will surely come our way. I must say, we should take some life lessons from Eijiro.
“If I don’t act now, forget being a hero, I can’t even be a man”
Finally, here we are with a “manly” associated quote, stated by Eijiro. Why does he always bring up something which is associated with his manliness? Why can’t he be like a normal man? Why does he have to be so brave? Why does he have to have such high expectations from his fellow men? The answer to all of these questions is because he is Eijiro Kirishima from My Hero Academia. He has to differ in one way or another. But sometimes, his self-expectations can make a big difference.
Throughout the series, there were many instances that show that if Eijiro had not acted the way he did, some characters and people would not have been able to make it till the end of the series. And this is what we should do when faced with difficulties and situations. Acting in an intelligent way will not only lead you out of the complications but can also have other people too.

“I am shaking with excitement”
This is not only associated with Eijiro. Once in our life, we all have also felt this shaking sensation due to excitement. Unlike him, we don’t get excited over fighting against strong opponents being strong ourselves. We get excited over small things like trips, picnics, new stuff that we bought, or something big like getting a great job or getting good marks in exams. This is exciting for us, but excitement for Eijiro is getting the chance to break someone’s jaw, getting to make an opponent crawl in front of him, getting to witness his opponent beg to him, totally anime stuff. And what else we can expect from anime characters. Someone like Eijiro takes fun to prove his strength, grow stronger after defeating a worthy opponent and let go of his past to live to be strong in the present. We can easily expect him to shake in excitement.
“One day I will become a hero who can protect everyone”
Now let’s begin with Eijiro’s past life. Till now, we only talked about Eijiro being a big-mouthed who is always blabbering about being strong and brave. Why does his mind only go around being manly? The reason is here, every character that seems absolutely fine from above hides something within themselves. From his very childhood, Eijiro has very low self-esteem. He underestimates himself very much. He always thinks that his hardening quirk is not so good and can’t be compared to the quirks of other students. To this feeling of his, he always carries this attitude of being very confident when from within he is that one insecure boy. Even though he is extremely powerful and has proved his strength many times, he still wishes to get stronger one day so that he can able to protect the ones he holds dear.

“Get harder, more and more, my body and soul”
This must come out somewhere from a fight as I have mentioned that he only dreams of getting stronger in order to be useful in every way. In this quote, he is talking in context with his quirk. His quirk is known as “Hardening Quirk,” which is indeed very wonderful. Eijiro’s quirk lets him harden and shape any part of his body according to his need and situation. He can shape one of his hands into a knife or spear and another hand into a stone or hammer. Amazing, isn’t it?
The quote above says it loud and clear that he wanted his body and spirit to go harder and harder to let him smash his opponent. He can do a lot with the help of his quirk but still let his insecurity hold the best of him. This happens not only with any two-dimensional character but also with real humans too.
“Get harder and become a wall that can never fall”
Guess with what this quote is associated? This is really simple to guess. Of course, he is talking about his quirk. Eijiro has stated more than once that he thinks that his quirk is not good enough. He thinks that his quirk lacks that flashiness that we can often witness in other pro hero’s quirk. He even tends to get offended when he sees someone else with a similar quirk. Eijiro thinks very low of himself and thinks that his quirk is not ideal of hero’s work, and he lacks as compared to hero prospects. So, throughout the series, we will get to witness this very often him mentioning his quirk to get stronger and harder. Even though he won’t be getting satisfied from any level of powers, all because of his low self-esteem.

“Come ON!”
Yeah, come on! But for what? You must know, our Eijiro is getting excited about having another battle. This is the most repeated quote by not only Eijiro but also by almost every character of My Hero Academia. “Come on!” is the common phrase for almost every situation. Whenever any character gets excited over a fight, whenever a character wants to encourage another character, when a character provokes the other character, this goes with almost every situation. Not only for anime characters, but we also use “come on” in many situations. After listening to this quote, I can imagine this into fifty different tones, based on fifty different situations. This is literally evergreen with every situation, so let’s stop it here.
Death Note isn’t only a fun anime; it’s also a reflection of our own lives, with its hate, misery, and desire for vengeance, among other emotions. We somehow feel responsible for all the bad things that happen around us or in our country, and we wish we could eradicate all evil and punish people for their wrongdoings. That’s one way of thinking. The other is where people gain power, and instead of using it for good, they abuse it and lose the ability to distinguish between good and bad.
This anime depicts how a high school boy receives a diary called ‘Death Note,’ which possesses the powerful ability to take people’s lives and can eliminate anybody if he writes their name correctly and photographs them. Within the story, the boy, Light Yagami, meets another holder of Death Note named Misa Amane. So, today we will discuss the top 12 facts about Misa Amane from Death Note.
Death note was dropped by Ryuk, a shinigami who was bored with his Shinigami world and wanted some drama in his life, so he dropped the notebook in the human world to see what a human would do with it. The Death Note was discovered by Light Yagami, a 17-year-old high school student who was extremely intelligent and bored as well. He resolves to use it to assassinate all criminals, earning the moniker Kira in the process. His ultimate purpose is to rid the world of evil in order to build a utopia, which he will then rule as a god.
Misa Amane is the admirer of Light Yagami. Misa, a prominent idol in Japan, is a girl who has a huge crush on Kira. She is immature and, in an attempt to be adorable, frequently refers to herself in the third person. During an attempted house robbery, her parents were slaughtered in front of her. Misa thought justice had been done after the trial against her parents’ killer went on for a long time, and when he was slain by Kira. Misa’s fixation with Light is well-documented in the anime, and she has previously stated that she fell in love with him at first sight.
Light, on the other hand, has a different opinion of her and exploits her to carry out his goals. Misa Amane also possesses a Death Note, and her Shinigami eyes, which Light lacks, make her more helpful to him. Not once, but twice, Misa obtained the Shinigami eyes at the cost of half her remaining life span. She has been referred to be a second Kira as well as a Kira fan. Here are some facts about Misa Amane that might interest you!
1. Misa Amane can sing
Misa Amane has always been shown in anime as a beautiful girl who is constantly well-dressed, implying that she is a model who is frequently seen on photo shoots. She has a large fan base, and people adore her, which is one of the most compelling reasons for Light Yagami to choose her as an asset. Misa is not just a brilliant model and actress, but she’s also a fantastic vocalist, which may surprise you. Misa is a well-known singer and television personality in film series, musicals, and television dramas.

2. Misa Amane is a single child, but only in the anime
Misa has always been shown alone in anime and in her home. She was not discovered with any siblings or anybody else, and she is depicted as a self-obsessed kid who pampers herself and takes care of her wants, implying that she is most likely her parents’ only child. That doesn’t appear to be the case; it’s one of the lesser-known truths in the anime and manga series that Misa had siblings. In the film series, she is shown to have a younger brother. However, in the manga, she is shown to have an older sister. It makes her anime status as an only kid an intriguing option.
3. Misa has varied Character Development
Misa’s character has evolved from the beginning of the manga. Misa was largely employed as fan service in previous translations. She has, nevertheless, grown into a three-dimensional figure and a formidable lady. In the musical, her affections for Light are genuine, and her love for him isn’t shown as a joke as it was in the manga.
Misa was far more engaged in the Kira assassinations in the Netflix film, and she went over Light’s back to achieve what she desired. Her line of work has also shifted. She plays as a musician rather than a model in musical and live-action drama.
4. She is Ruthless
Misa is always seen as a bubbly, playful, and outgoing character with a pretty innocent face. This makes us forget about her cruel side. For one, she took the life of several Task Force members without hesitating in the slightest, acting on her own without any orders from Light to do so. She was also seen threatening Light if she ever found out about him seeing other girls that she’d kill them. She was also seen offering to kill her own friend to show her loyalty.

5. Misa Amane Passed Away
We all know when Misa Amane was born, but we rarely know when she died. On December 25, 1984, Misa Amane was born. She was supposed to live longer, just like any other human, but she chose to shorten her life in order to gain the power of shinigami eyes twice. This demonstrates how insane she was to help the man who murdered her parents. On February 14, 2011, Misa died. Misa became depressed after the death of Light, according to the series’ writer, Tsugumi Ohba, and attempted suicide. She was born on Christmas Day and passed away on Valentine’s Day.
6. Hardest Character to depict
She’s regarded as one of the most difficult manga characters to develop. Her mentality and everything were tough to portray, and the writer admitted that it was difficult to put himself in the thoughts of someone who would act so irrationally and invest so much in a person to not only demonstrate love but also to do everything for the one they love. Obata also stated that, although being a unique character to write, she was also a lot of fun to draw. It’s no surprise that Misa is regarded as one of the anime’s most intriguing characters. During his investigation for her, he truly loved the magazine he was reading.
7. Name’s Origin
The character’s name, Misa Amane, is quite intriguing. The writer says he’s not sure, but he thinks the name comes from the Japanese word ‘Kuromisa,’ which means “Black Mass,” and Misa’s last name, Amane, meaning “Sound of the Heavens.”

8. Varying Eye Colors
Misa’s eyes were originally brown in the anime, but they were occasionally blue, implying that she wore contact lenses while she worked as a model and actress. Her eyes frequently become red anytime she uses her Shinigami eyes to glimpse someone’s name or learn about their life duration since she has Shinigami eyes.
9. She was not so bad after all
Despite her cheery nature, she’s generally portrayed as a cold-hearted person who wouldn’t mind killing anyone, yet if you recall, she did care about her manager, Matsuda. Their personalities were very similar. They were both upbeat and childlike, making them unlikely buddies. Misa was upset and saddened to see her biggest admirer go in this manner when Mogi had to replace him after he was forced to fake his death. Matsuda was regarded as an imbecile by many people, including Light and L. Misa outdid even the Task Force members in terms of compassion. As a result, she is nicer than most people assume.

10. She was Intelligent
Misa’s demeanor and appearance frequently obscured the fact that she is also brilliant, as seen in the series by her ability to set up the trap for L with Light, not simply that she was able to recognize Light while concealing her identity. She’s also the one who ultimately coaxes Higuchi into confessing.
11. Misa Amane was devoted to Light Yagami
Death Note contains several religious references, although Misa is never seen worshipping anybody other than Light, to whom she dedicated her life. She’s been engaged in so many murders that it’s impossible to say if she’s religious or not, but one fascinating thing about her is that she dresses gothic and, aside from that, Misa wears a Rosary. She believes Light is God. Therefore it’s only natural that she would do everything for him, even if he hadn’t avenged her parents. Light was happy to exploit her in whatever manner he wanted since he really wanted to be a God.
