Line 57:
** {{spoiler|He's proven wrong quite dramatically at the end, where he actually does declare himself an "omnipotent god" before being interrupted by Lain. In a single [[Hannibal Lecture]] she hints at the existence of a real God, mocks Eiri for thinking himself anything more than a puny human and destroys him effortlessly when he tries to attack her in a rage. A God I'm Not...}}
*** {{spoiler|He's declaring this to a girl who is omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent. And probably immortal. Oh the irony...}}
* ''[[One Piece]]''.
** Eneru, the villain of the Skypeia arc, who declares himself God. This is subverted in that, according to Gan Fall, the prior God of Skypeia, "God" is merely the title for the Skypeian leader. However, Eneru believes himself a true god by virtue of his lightning-based Devil Fruit abilities and power to read others' conscious thoughts. And the fact that the word for ''god'' (kami) is similar to the word for ''thunder'' (kaminari) in Japanese. A fact he puns on by introducing himself with "Ore wa Kaminari" which can mean both 'I am Lightning' or 'I have become God'
** Woefully subverted by the Celestial Dragons, a bunch of [[Upper Class Twit]]s who claim to be gods descended from those who created the world. They are not divine in the least, their only true "powers" being political influence as figureheads. In fact, the only Celestial Dragons to show any redeeming qualities - Homing and Mjosgard of the Donquixote family - are the ones who publicly admitted [[A God I
* Subverted in ''[[Magic Knight Rayearth]]'': The Pillar of Cephiro ''has'' limitless power, as it is her will which [[Fisher King|gives shape to the entire world]]. When {{spoiler|Hikaru achieves this state, in both anime and manga, she relinquishes it ''immediately'' and gives it willingly to the inhabitants of Cephiro, so ''they'', rather than a single person, are responsible for their own world.}}
* In ''[[Super Dimension Fortress Macross|Macross]]'' {{spoiler|''[[Macross Frontier|Frontier]]'', the ultimate goal of the [[Big Bad]] is to unite the entire galaxy in a galaxy-spanning [[Hive Mind|collective consciousness]] (whether it wants to or not) with the [[Big Bad]] personally at the very top}}.
