We fight on behalf of the people for whom no one else will fight. We give courage to those who are too afraid to speak up against those in power above them.

If those who do have power won't bring men like that asshole teacher to justice, then that's why the world needs us.
[Minato takes a slow breath in... and nods. It's not his place at all to judge what Akira's doing as right or wrong. It's what Akira feels he has to do, and that in and of itself has merit.
