  ➔ Using 'いつも' (itsumo) + na-adjective 'パーフェクト' (perfect) to describe a habitual or consistent state.

  ➔ 'いつも' indicates habitual or always occurring, combining with a na-adjective to describe states.

• 信じて進むことが全て

  ➔ Using the 'te-form' of '信じる' (to believe) + '進む' (to advance), with 'こと' to nominalize the verb phrase, emphasizing that trusting and moving forward is everything.

  ➔ 'te-form' connects verbs in sequence, and 'こと' nominalizes the phrase to emphasize the action as a whole.

• 叫べよ 声の限り響け

  ➔ Imperative form with 'よ' added to '叫べ' (shout) for emphasis, and 'の限り' (to the limit) indicating 'as far as' or 'to the fullest extent', with '響け' (resound) in imperative.

  ➔ Imperative form with particle 'よ' adds emphasis, 'の限り' indicates 'to the limit', and '響け' commands to resound loudly.

• 掴み取りたいのだから

  ➔ Using the verb '掴む' (to grasp, to seize) in its stem '掴み' + '取りたい' (want to take/grasp), with 'のだから' to provide reasoning, meaning 'because I want to grasp it'.

  ➔ The verb stem plus 'たい' expresses desire. 'のだから' provides the reason or justification for the desire.
