The most powerful speeches in anime history

"The protection of gods is no longer needed in the world of man. As proof, I built a fortress, and you all answered my call. I know now, with certainty, that it was no mistake. And now this final trial will test it, and us, to the utmost.
Now is the time to deny the primordial gods and begin the Age of Man! Mind yourselves, my elite warriors! This is the battle for true separation from the gods! Give your lives to me, the king! Pass on the glory that is Uruk to generations to come, to the last man!"
~ Gilgamesh's declaration to Uruk in Fate/Grand Order: Babylonia



"It's all meaningless. No matter what dreams or hopes you had... No matter how blessed of a life you've lived... It's all the same if you're shredded by rocks. Everyone will die someday. Does that mean that life is meaningless? Was there even any meaning in our being born? Would you say that of our fallen comrades? Their lives... were they meaningless? NO, THEY WEREN'T!  It's we who give meaning to our comrades' lives! The brave fallen! The anguished fallen! The ones who will remember them... are us, the living! We die here, trusting the living who follow to find meaning in our lives! That is the sole method in which we can rebel against this cruel world! MY SOLDIERS, RAGE! MY SOLDIERS, SCREAM! MY SOLDIERS, FIGHT!"
~ Erwin in Attack On Titan



"And there you go. You heard her, Iri. Our Heroic Spirit over there considers a battlefield to be better than hell. What a joke! A battlefield is Hell itself. There's no hope to be had on one. There is nothing but unspeakable despair. Just a soulless crime we call victory, paid for by the pain of the defeated. But humanity has never recognized this truth. And the reason is that, in every era, a dazzling hero has blinded the people with their legends and kept them from seeing the evil of bloodshed they bring. True human nature has not advanced a step beyond the Stone Age."
~ Kiritsugu Emiya in Fate/Zero
