Tai Lung: I rotted in jail for twenty years because of your weakness!
Shifu: Obeying your master is not weakness!
Tai Lung: You knew I was the Dragon Warrior! You always knew! But, when Oogway said otherwise, what did you do? What did you do?! NOTHING!
Shifu: You were not meant to be the Dragon Warrior! That was not my fault!
Tai Lung: Not. Your. FAULT?! Who filled my head with dreams?! Who drove me to train until my bones cracked?! Who denied me my DESTINY?!
Shifu: It was never my decision to make!
Tai Lung: (picks up Oogway's staff) It is now.

"What? How can you do this? This is outrageous! It's unfair! How can you be on the Council, and not be a Master?"

"Why didn't you tell me? You told me Vader betrayed and murdered my father!"
Luke Skywalker, Return of the Jedi, having learned that Obi-Wan didn't tell him the whole truth about his father

I am tired of you, and your riddles, and your "lessons", and your SUPREME ARROGANCE! Don't you ever, ever, enter my life again! Do you hear me? DO YOU HEAR ME?!
Peter Parker to Madame Web, Spider-Man: The Animated Series

Terry McGinnis: (having just met Tim Drake) Were all of you that bitter when you left?
Barbara Gordon: Comes with the territory, McGinnis. Look up Nightwing some day; has he got stories...

Garrosh: All I did... I did for the Horde!
Thrall: You failed the Horde!
Garrosh: YOU made me Warchief! You left me to pick up! Your! Pieces! YOU! FAILED! ME!

We were partners! Friends! How could you not know I had been replaced? How could you leave me in Luthor's hands for eight years? And how did I not see how useless you are? Get out. Get out!
Roy Harper to Oliver Queen, Young Justice (2010), "Satisfaction"

Yusuke: (Having just awakened his Persona) A breathtaking sight. Imitations they may be, but together they make a fine spectacle. Though the flowers of evil blossom, be it known: abominations are fated to perish!
Morgana: Whoa, this is impressive!
Shadow Madarame: Who do you think you are?! The price for your insolence will be death! Where are my guards?! Kill them all!
Yusuke: The children who adored you as "father." The prospects of your pupils. How many did you trample upon? How many dreams did you exchange for riches?! No matter what it takes, I will bring you to justice!

Tessa: My friends are all out there fighting now, and I can’t even do anything to help them!
The Founder: ...I see. Then take my hand. And I will unlock that potential. I hope it serves you well.
Tessa: [in the present] You... You hoped it would serve me well? You only give us powers so we can help clean up your mess!
Tessa relives her Dream, Sleepless Domain

Cyclops: Eva, what are you doing here?
Tempus: I came here to tell you, you died today. You were dead. You, Ms. Frost, Magik… you died. Charles Xavier’s will left you in charge of an immensely powerful mutant he was keeping secret from you. A mutant who, whitout Xavier, could not control those powers.
Cyclops: What did you do?
Tempus: After you tried and failed to bring the mutant over your nervous breakdown, I mean, Mutant Revolution… … this mutant went out of control… your hubris was the death of you and countless others.
Cyclops: What did you do?
Tempus: It doesn’t matter what I did. What matters is what I am going to do now. Now I will be watching you. And man, if you don’t screw your head on all the way straight I am going to bo back in time and make sure your parents never meet. I can do it, too.
Cyclops: You’re out of the school.
Tempus: I know Summers, I just graduated. I am officially a graduate of the Scott Summers "Do whatever the hell you want" School for gifted &&$%#%# youngsters. Get your &&$%#%# together man. I’m not kidding around.

Darth Sion: After all that has happened, still you live. You are difficult to kill.
Kreia: For one as limited as you, perhaps. To have fallen so far and learned nothing, that is your failing.
Sion: The failure is yours. No longer do your whispers crawl within my skull. No longer do I suffer beneath teachings that weaken us.

Shifu: note  You cannot leave! A real warrior never quits!
Po: Watch me! (he tries to get past Shifu twice, but Shifu blocks him with his staff) Come on! How am I supposed to beat Tai Lung? I can't even beat you to the stairs!
Shifu: You will beat him because you are the Dragon Warrior! (pokes Po with his staff)
Po: You don't believe that! (Shifu pokes him again) You've never believed that! From the first moment I got here, you've been trying to get rid of me! (he tries running past Shifu again, but this time, Shifu flips him over onto his back)
Shifu: I was! But now I ask you to trust in your master as I have come to trust in mine.
Po: You're not my master. And I'm not the Dragon Warrior!
Shifu: Then why didn't you quit?! You knew I was trying to get rid of you, yet you stayed!
Po: Yeah, I stayed. I stayed, because every time you threw a brick at my head, or said I smelled, it hurt, but it could never hurt more than it did every day of my life just being me! (Shifu is reduced to Stunned Silence) I stayed, because I thought if anyone could change me... could make me... not me, it was you! The greatest Kung Fu teacher in all of China!
Shifu: But I can change you! I can turn you into the Dragon Warrior! And I will!
Po: Oh, come on! Tai Lung is probably on his way here right now! Even if it takes him 100 years to get here, how are you... gonna change this... into the Dragon Warrior?! Huh?! (more Stunned Silence from Shifu) How... How...? HOW?!
Shifu: I DON'T KNOW! (sighs and calms down) I don't know...
Po: That's what I thought...

Why did our mentor choose you over me? Had he given me the recognition I deserved, I would have spared him his tragic fate.
Sima Yi Destiny Gundam, telling Zhuge Liang Freedom Gundam about what he did to Zhang Jue Devil Gundam, SD Gundam World Sangoku Soketsuden

Eon: Spyro? Would you stay a moment?
Spyro: Look, I know you're upset with me for not being here this morning, but I'm upset with you too.
Eon: Spyro, I'm...
Spyro: You know I've suspected for the longest time that you knew more about what happened to my family than you're willing to say. I wanted to trust you. I did, Master Eon. But then I found out you lied about knowing who Strykore is, not just to me, to all of us. And I... I can't figure out why you would do that. But I did figure something out today. I don't wanna be part of a team whose leader is a liar, so I'm done being a Skylander.
Skylanders Academy, "It Techs Two"
