Barefoot Gen (manga, 1973)
volume 1
Daikichi Nakaoka: You really think this war is being fought for all Japanese people? A handful of rich men started this war! They didn't consult us!
Daikichi Nakaoka: That idiot! Does he really think it takes courage to go to war?! I don't care if people call me a coward or a traitor. What takes real courage is to value life — your own and everybody's!
Koji Nakaoka: Why can't everyone think? Use their heads for once? Are they going to be duped by this hoax of a war forever?!
volume 3
Kimie Nakaoka: They take us for complete fools! First they started the war without telling us anything... only that it was for the sake of the country and the Emperor... And now that Japan has lost, they tell us we have to "bear the unbearable and endure the unendurable..."
volume 6
Gen Nakaoka: Stay alive and look straight into the eyes of the people who forced the war and the atomic bomb on us! Don't give up!
volume 8
Katsuo Aihara: Do you think anything has changed in the history of war since ancient Roman times? People have always tried to force their beliefs on others, so they take turns invading and being invaded. People don't change for the better. The only things that have changed are science and technology, so the only progress you see is in weaponry.
volume 10
Gen Nakaoka: The whole country should be grateful to the people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Their sacrifice made it possible for everyone else to survive and sleep peacefully at night. In fact, the whole world should be grateful to them, because Hiroshima and Nagasaki showed everyone just how unspeakable nuclear weapons are. They've helped keep the rest of the world from being destroyed in a nuclear war.
