Betrayal is one of those things that hurts one person, but benefits another. It’s something you’re bound to go through in life, even if you’re not the one doing it or provoking the action.
Sometimes people betray for cowardly reasons, sometimes justified if extreme (logically).
This post will share some perspectives about betrayal in different lights, from a wide set of characters in various anime shows.
You might take something from at least ONE quote!

4. Sosuke Aizen Quotes (Bleach)
“Any betrayal you can see is trivial, what is truly frightening and much more lethal, is the betrayal you cannot see.” – Sosuke Aizen
5. Kaname Kuran (Vampire Knight)

6. Tsubaki Quotes (SERVAMP)
“It’s not that I don’t trust you all. It’s the opposite. I’m going because I believe in you all. You all know this well, right? No matter who betrays me, I won’t betray anyone.” – Tsubaki
7. Myouri Unzen Quotes

“Rely on impulse and not even your thoughts can betray you.” – Kurama
11. Kraft Lawrence Quotes
“We do not live in a fairy-tale world. We cannot simply take revenge on those who have betrayed us and say “the end”. We have to live on after this. And taking revenge for betrayal only invites more revenge.” – Kraft Lawrence
12. Shio Sakaki Quotes (Kenichi The Mightiest Disciple)
“Well, everyone’s unsure of their fighting abilities. When that happens, just train more! When you’re afraid, just train! When something doesn’t feel right, just train! When you don’t believe in yourself anymore, just train! The only thing that won’t betray you is your training.” – Shio Sakaki
13. Miu Asakura Quotes (Bungaku Shoujo)
“Readers betray their authors.” – Miu Asakura
14. Yusuke Fujisaki Quotes (Sket Dance)
“I would never betray a friend. So who the hell cares if somebody betrayed you once, huh? I’m not like that!” – Yusuke Jujisaki
“Friends are treasures, help each other and value the bonds you have. Even if someone betrays you, never betray anyone yourself. And if someone’s in trouble, don’t just walk on by.” – Yusuke Fujisaki
15. Kaworu Nagisa Quotes
“Are you afraid of other people? I know that by keeping others at a distance you avoid a betrayal of your trust, but you must endure the loneliness. Man can never completely erase this sadness, because all men are fundamentally alone. Pain is something man must carry in his heart, and since the heart feels pain so easily, some believe that life is pain.” – Kaworu Nagisa
16. Inspector Lunge Quotes (Monster)
“If you don’t want to be betrayed anymore, then start by doubting the person you want to doubt the least.” – Inspector Lunge
17. Ame Quotes (Neppu Kairiku Bushi Road)
“Without what you call absolute power, we’ll be able to live free and strong… That’s why I have to end this. Humans often betray, fight and do terrible things to each other, but if I can feel this heat and this pain in my heart, a future where everyone will be kind to each other will definitely come some day. I can believe in it now!” – Ame
18. Killua (Hunter x Hunter)
“If I ignore a friend I have the ability to help, wouldn’t I be betraying him?” – Killua
19. Cagalli Yula Athha Quotes (Mobile Suit Gundam Seed)
“I knew it. The Earth Forces’ new mobile weapons. Father, I knew you’d betray us all!” – Cagalli Yula Athha
20. Scar (Fullmetal Alchemist)
“Our names are given to us by God. I have betrayed God, and so I no longer have a name.” – Scar
21. Shinra Kishitani Quotes (Durarara)
“He may seem cold-blooded, but he’s more human and his heart is more brittle than anyone else… so much so that if you filled it with human love or betrayal, it’d break easily… which is why I think he chose to avoid it all from the start: to love humanity. Do you understand? Not to accept it, not to face it, but he chose to avoid it.”- Shinra Kishitani
