Examples of [[{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]]s in [[{{SUBPAGENAME}}]] include:
== ''[[A Certain Magical Index]]'' ==
{{quote|"I strive for something [[Up to Eleven|beyond the strongest]], that challenging me would be the most ridiculous thought ever, [[A God Am I|that fighting me would be an unforgivable sin!"]].}}▼
{{quote|"This is not a negotiation. It is not a suggestion, not a trade, not a petition, not an agreement, not a compromise, not a surrender. This is my victory march, you stupid bastards!"}}▼
{{quote|"Pick any unreasonable fight with me and I will shorten your lifespan."}}▼
{{quote|"I am Fiamma of the Right. If that isn’t enough of a hint for you, then you really need to rebuild your intelligence agency from the ground up."}}▼

{{quote|Does a Level 0 like me really seem that incredible?! Hero? Villain? Stop kidding around! Can’t you save someone if you’re not standing at that spot?! In front of your eyes are people that don’t wish to cry that are crying! In front of your eyes are people that can only clench their teeth while struggling and can’t even say the words ‘please save me’! Is that not enough!! Just step up already!! You don’t need special positions or reasons!! With these, you can step up and be a shield for them!!}}▼
{{quote|'''Accelerator to Kakine''': Between me and you, there is an impassable wall.}}▼
* And another:
{{quote|'''Fiamma, {{spoiler|[[Irony|just before all his plans crash and burn]]}}''': I'm about to save this world. Therefore, I have no more use for you. Feel the glory, meatbag. Your value as a human being, obediently let me have it.}}▼
{{quote|{{spoiler|Our world is not so weak that it needs to be saved by a bastard like that.}}}}▼
== Other works ==
* [[Older Than Feudalism]]: In ''[[The Iliad]]'', both Diomedes and Achilles boast, "Unhappy those whose children face my might."
** Zeus gets an epic one at the beginning of Book 8, daring the other gods to defy him
Line 28 ⟶ 49:
* In ''[[The Bible]]'' David gets a kickass boast when he's squared off against Goliath. First Samuel 17:45-47
{{quote|"Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied. This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD's, and he will give you into our hands."}}
* [[J. R. R.
{{quote|'''Fëanor:''' "Then turning to the herald he cried: 'Say this to Manwë Sûlimo, High King of Arda: if Fëanor cannot overthrow Morgoth, at least he delays not to assail him, and sits not idle in grief. And it may be that Eru has set in me a fire greater than thou knowest. Such hurt at the least will I do to the Foe of the Valar that even the mighty in the Ring of Doom shall wonder to hear it. Yea, in the end they shall follow me. Farewell!'"}}
** Note that this is made even MORE badass by the next line which is something like. "And so powerful was the force of his voice that even Eönwë, herald of the High-King bowed as one full answered." Basically Feanor's boast was so badass that the herald of a GOD (who is also a small-g god himself) went "Alright then...I'll just go now."
Line 38 ⟶ 59:
:* ''And'', spoken by Bard the Bowman, right before he fires the shot that slays Smaug:
{{quote|'''Bard:''' Arrow! Black arrow! I have saved you to the last. You have never failed me and always I have recovered you. I had you from my father and he from of old. If ever you came from the forges of the true king under the Mountain, go now and speed well!”}}
* [[J. R. R.
{{quote|'''Galadriel:''' "And now at last it comes. You will give me the Ring freely! In place of the Dark Lord you will set up a Queen. And I shall not be dark, but beautiful and terrible as the Morning and the Night! Fair as the Sea and the Sun and the Snow upon the Mountain! Dreadful as the Storm and the Lightning! Stronger than the foundations of the earth. All shall love me and despair!"}}
** This is what Galadriel ''would'' have become if she'd taken the [[Artifact of Doom|Ring]], but she resists the temptation in the end, and is relieved at it.
