Characters who originate from video games. Their manga or video game adaptations may be what made me really like them, but I made them their own category just because.

Edward Elric, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
"There's no such thing as a painless lesson. They just don't exist. Sacrifices are necessary. You can't gain anything without losing something first.

"FOOL!"
"My legend begins in the twelfth century of our era. It was a bright summer day, the sunlight streaming down upon my face... Or was it? No... it was a chilly day in autumn. At the time, I was something of what you might call a "ruffian"... No, now that I think of it, it might have already been winter. I was quite the ruffian and known all thoughout town as such. You might say I was a notorious ruffian. Every nefarious and shady character in town was my friend. And all of the most beautiful women were fighting amongst themselves to see who would be mine. No... I do believe it was summer after all. It was a very hot day at the height of summer. That much I remember. Unlike the man you see before you today, at the time I was a sharp-edged knife of a fellow. I truly was. But even so, there was a sense of refined elegance about me. Everyone said as much. Of course, they still say so. On the other hand, though I say this now, it is possible that at the time it was not said of me to the extent I now suppose it was. I believe it was just beginning to be said about me, in dribs and drabs, as it were, that I was kinder than one might be inclined to assume. But thinking back on it, I daresay it is quite possible that I gave off a sense of refined elegance. Hence it was said about me. I was a truly amazing specimen of a man. Of course, I am still rather amazing, but then I was also a ruffian. All in all, it was a wintry day filled with elegance and refinement. Now then, allow me to begin relating my legend."
"I have always been a man without roots, a man "like the wind," as so many have aptly observed over the years... Yes, and I daresay a fickle man who, whenever he comes upon a new home, as indeed one will, almost at once feels the call to move again and again again. Would you fain say that a new world is a frightening place? Surely you have heard it said that where one lays his head is home. Well, in my case, my dear friends, any town where I lay my head becomes so thoroughly bathed in my own character that I confess it grows utterly tiresome to me. Of course, it can't be helped--such is the nature of my character that all others are unavoidably bathed in it--but the fact remains that I long for the sight of a new land, and so it was as I sat confined in my usual cave. Of course, it would have been no great hardship to remain in that charming cave for the foreseeable future, as I'm sure you well appreciate. But then one day, a man carrying the book of Eibon appeared before me and brought me here."
"Do you know what the bare minimum requirement is for human interaction?... 'I will not kill you. So, please do not kill me.' You can replace 'kill' with anything else. Basically, you shouldn't cross any line that violates another person's dignity. You should acknowledge each other's mutual existence. That's the rule. You ignored it and fed your stupid ego." -Megumi Fushiguro, Jujutsu Kaisen
"Even now, someone might be envious of another. They may be longing for something without realizing that they already have it. Thinking about it that way makes me want to work just a little harder as I am now" -Tohru Honda, Fruits Basket
"I never go back on my word! 'Cause that's my shinobi way!" -Naruto Uzumaki, Naruto
"You're not wrong. But they're not just falling for no reason or purpose! They are to become... the nourishment for fresh green leaves! And thus the period they bridge until the new spring when said fresh leaves but... is the climax of youth! When it burns most crimson! Sekizo!! Evening Elephant!!" -Might Guy, Naruto
"God bestows upon us fate. But it is the children of men who choose it. This is my belief" -Flora, Berserk
"My soldiers, rage! My soldiers, scream! My soldiers, fight!" -Commander Erwin Smith, Attack on Titan

"You are just one more thunderfart in a shitstorm I don't need!" -Steven A. Starphase, Blood Blockade Battlefront and Beyond
"Aww, really sorry about that. I meant to say 'stop' but I punched you instead" -Lancer, Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works

I'd even do things that would damn me to hell in order to defeat him! But running away isn't an option... I just CAN'T!" -Jean-Pierre Polnareff, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Part III: Stardust Crusaders
"The night is darkest just before the dawn. But keep your eyes open.If you avert your eyes from the dark, you'll be blind to the rays of a new day. So keep your eyes open, no matter how dark the night ahead may be." -Gintoki Sakata, Gintama

For clarification, if an image takes up an entire page of a manga, it still counts for me as a single panel.
