* ''[[Digital Devil Saga]]'':
{{quote|'Dying Message': "Death's vastness holds no peace. I come at the end of a long road--neither human nor devil...All bends to my will."}}
** Where do you find such an audacious boast?  {{spoiler|After the ''[[Bonus Boss]]'' fight against the ridiculously hard Demi-Fiend, the protagonist from Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne!}}
* ''[[Dragon Age]]: Origins'':
{{quote|'''Oghren:''' This is it, Warden. "When from the blood of battle the Stone has fed, let the heroes prevail and the blighters lie dead." As one of the blighters, I sodding salute you. Let us show them our hearts, and then show them THEIRS.}}
* Done [[Crowning Moment of Funny|hilariously]] in the original ''[[Fallout]]'' in an otherwise serious situation.
{{quote|'''Set:''' I am Set. Why do you tread my shadow?
'''[[Player Character|Vault Dweller]]:''' I am the bringer of death. Fall to your knees and beg for mercy... Or give me a sandwich; I'm pretty hungry. }}
** In ''[[Fallout 3]]'' Fawkes doesn't really have great ''lines'' for boasts, but his voice actor's ''delivery'' of lines like "YOU!!! LOSE!!!", "I WIN AGGAAAAIN!!!!" and just his regular guttural screams qualify.
** In ''[[Fallout: New Vegas]]'', the Courier may deliver these if you take the [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Terrifying Presence]] perk. For instance: upon your first visit to Nipton, Vulpes Inculta, dog-head-wearing captain of Caesar's brutal Frumentarii who just slaughtered the entire town, will try to muscle his way into making you take a quest where you spread word of the Legion's atrocities. Your response, right to his face?
{{quote|'''The Courier:''' I'll wear your head like you wear that dog's.
'''Vulpes:''' [[Oh Crap|Legion! We have a problem!]] }}
*** Even better is the one against the Brotherhood Paladins who murdered an outpost of Followers doctors.
{{quote|'''The Courier''': I'll cast down your Codex and bask in the dying agony of those who hold it dear.}}
** NCR [[Cold Sniper|First Recon's]] motto: "The last thing you never see." The former member who first tells you this adds, "It was pretty accurate, and so were we."
** One from Fallout 3, by the [[Player Character]]:
{{quote|''I'm going to kill you '''so''' much.''}}
*** Or the more memorable one to Colonel Autumn during the interrogation. The best part is how simple it is and you can just hear him saying it very calmly.
{{quote|'''Lone Wanderer''': Fuck you! I'm not telling you anything.
'''Col. Autumn''': Now, now. Let's discuss this reasonably.
'''Lone Wanderer''': No, seriously. ''Fuck you.'' }}
** [[Memetic Badass|Joshua]] [[Implacable Man|Graham]] has two notable ones. The first is if you point a gun at him:
{{quote|''"Make your first shot count, you won't get a second."''}}
** The second is if you threaten Daniel:
{{quote|''"[[Papa Wolf|If you harm Daniel or any of the Sorrows or Dead Horses, I will find you. Make no mistake. God willing, you will not leave this valley.]]"''}}
** Joshua Graham may also well be the only person whose ''weapon'' has a boast on it. His gun is etched with John 1:5, in Greek; the verse reads "And the light shineth in the darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not." The subtleties in translation means that the context of the term 'comprehend' can be read as either [[Evil Cannot Comprehend Good]] or that [[The Good Guys Always Win|darkness cannot]] ''[[The Good Guys Always Win|overcome]]'' [[The Good Guys Always Win|light]].
** Speaking of [[Memetic Badass]]es, Legate Lanius has a nice boast for you before the [[Final Battle]] begins.
{{quote|''We shall see how brave you are when nailed to the walls of Hoover Dam, your body facing west so you may watch your world '''die'''.''}}
** General Oliver ''tries'' to make a few if the Courier screws him over with the help of the Securitrons. Unlike the others however, he can't really back it up by himself.
{{quote|''"I would sooner spit on my dead mother's grave than let some courier walk-the-wasteland fuck talk to me like that. Who the hell do you think you are? Looking to cash your check in NCR bullets, eh? I can oblige."''}}
** On occasion, with the right reputation, you can simply use your ''introduction'' as one.
{{quote|'''Courier''': They call me "[[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|The Courier]]".}}
** In the finale of ''Lonesome Road'', if you manage to talk Ulysses down, he'll state that at this point {{spoiler|he can't stop the nukes and the Marked Men will be coming soon.}} However, he'll also offer you to join him in a [[Last Stand]].
{{quote|''"If we cannot prevent what happens, then let us make our stand here. [[Memetic Badass|Two Couriers]], together, at [[Hell on Earth|the Divide]]."''}}
* ''Fallout 3'' also has [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=298Cw3_qGwE Liberty Prime]. Oh boy, Liberty Prime. Probably scared the living crap out of the Enclave; he's a ten meter tall robot with a deep, echoing vocie so why the hell not?
{{quote|"Obstruction detected. Composition: titanium alloy supplemented by photonic resonance barrier. Probability of mission hindrance: '''ZERO PERCENT'''!"
"Communism is the very definition of faliure!"
"The last domino falls here!" }}
* From a trailer for ''[[EVE Online]]'': "For man is the Destroyer of Things, and the vicious master of his savage domain. We have our own place in the universe. And it is a dark, cruel role we play. We are the revolutionaries. We are the usurpers to the heavenly thrones. We are the enemies of the Gods."
** "The cycle of life and death was supposed to end with us. We would've been the start of a new age. A destiny of light, an [[Title Drop|Empyrean Age]]. Yet these tombs call out to us... of all the heroes and villains vanquished within, cry out at once, begging for justice. We will fight for what we believe in, we will take a side, and our wrath will be furious."
* In ''[[Fable]]'' the player can perform various boasts before beginning a mission. Each boast adds [[Self-Imposed Challenge|additional conditions]] to the quest, such as completing it without any armour or without allowing any friendlies to die, and increases the payout for the mission proportionally.
* [[Suikoden II|Luca Blight]]'s [[Famous Last Words]]: "Remember! It took hundreds to kill me, but I killed humans by the thousands! Look at me! I am sublime! I am the true face of evil!
* Gig from ''[[Soul Nomad and The World Eaters]]'' introduces himself to the main character thus shortly before trying to [[Demonic Possession|possess]] him: "...Me? Oh, just the most '''hard-core ass-kicker''' to ever walk the planet, is all. The destroyer of everything! The commander of the World Eaters! But hell, you can just call me Gig."
** And of course there's his LEGENDARY lines right before the battle that ends with him sealed in the black sword: "Come on, you little shits! Are none of you man enough to stand up to me?! Then put your heads between your legs while I cut you down one by one! Ah, finally someone steps up! You numbnuts better not waste my time!"
* [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] gets one of these in ''[[Sonic Adventure 2]]''. Of course, it's likely Shadow really doesn't know.
** Yeah, the ''[[Sonic Adventure 2]]'' example is perhaps a subversion, since Shadow not only doesn't know who Sonic is, but instead thinks Sonic is trying to impersonate him and reacts with contempt.
** Sonic himself has a particularly awesome one near the end of both Hero and Dark Stories:
{{quote|'''Sonic''': "What you see is what you get, just a guy that loves adventure. I'm Sonic the Hedgehog!"}}
** Then, there's this from ''[[Sonic and The Black Knight]]'':
{{quote|'''Sonic''': "I'm Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog! I have no master except the wind that blows free!"}}
** There is also the fact that nobody so far has contested Shadow's claim to being the ''ultimate life form''. He introduces himself as such at least once in every game he appears in, ''including the game where he had amnesia for the entirety of it and didn't know who he was''.
* ''Listen to the sound of your own extinction...'' The mad AI CABAL, of ''[[Command & Conquer]].''
** "Rule of the thumb, Hassan: You can't kill the Messiah!" (oft-repeated in many forms)
** "The future? Comrade Chairman, I am the future!"
* "I'm a grim bloody fable, with an unhappy bloody end!" The Demoman, of ''[[Team Fortress 2]]''
** "Grass grows, birds fly, the sun shines, and brother, I hurt people." The Scout
** "Like this tripod mounted heavy-caliber little number here. Designed by me, built by me... and you'd best hope, not pointed at you." The Engineer
** "I am Heavy Weapons Guy, and ''this''... is my weapon. She weighs 150 kilograms and fires $200 custom-tooled cartridges at 10,000 rounds per minute. It costs four hundred thousand dollars to fire this weapon for twelve seconds."
*** "Some people think they can outsmart me. Maybe...maybe. I have yet to meet one that can outsmart ''<s>bullet</s> boolit''."
*** "CRY SOME MOAR!"
*** "Vhat was that, Sandvich? Kill zem all? GOOD IDEA!"
*** "I have plan for you - more pain..."
** "Professionals have standards: be polite, be efficient, have a plan to kill everyone you meet." The Sniper
** "If you killed them, they are nothing like me." The Spy
*** "Right behind you."
** "If God had wanted you to live, he would ''not'' have created ''me!''" -- The Soldier
** The Spy even gets one from ''somebody'' else who fears him.
{{quote|'''BLU Scout''': Big deal. I've killed plenty of spies. They're dime a dozen back stabbing scumbags. Like you! ''*hits self with knife* '' Ow! No offense...
'''BLU Spy''': If you managed to kill them I assure you they were not like me. And nothing! Nothing like the man loose inside this building!
'''BLU Scout''': What're you, president of his fan club?
'''BLU Spy''': No. That would be [[Your Mom|YOUR MOTHER]]! ''*produces pictures of the Spy and the Scout's mother... fraternizing*''<br />
'''BLU Scout''': [[Angrish|What the... howdidhe... ugh...]]<br />
'''BLU Spy''': Indeed. And now he's here to [[Sound Effect Bleep|f**k]] us! So listen up, boy! Or pornography starring your mother will be the ''second worst thing'' that happens to you today.  }}
** Hell, every class gets this, with the exception of Pyro (whom attempts it, but is mute due to his mask).
** Since we are only missing the Medic...
{{quote|'''Medic''': I healed the man that will ''kill you''!}}
*** Since the release of the 'Meet the Medic' trailer we now have
{{quote|'''Medic''': When the patient voke up his skeleton vas missing, and ze doctor vas never seen again!
'''Heavy''': HA HA HA HA!
'''Medic''': Anyvay, zats how I lost my medical license. }}
*** And another:
{{quote|'''Heavy''': What happens now?
'''Medic''': Now? ''Let's go practice medicine.'' }}
* Manfred von Karma in ''Phoenix Wright: [[Ace Attorney]]'' uses his perfect record, his claims to perfection, and tons of dread to intimidate his opponents. In ''Trials and Tribulations'', Godot claims to have never been defeated as a prosecutor, using this to intimidate Phoenix; subverted when it shortly after is revealed it's because he's never had a case before. {{spoiler|As a prosecutor.}}
* [[Warcraft|"I am Gul'dan. I am darkness incarnate. I will not be denied."]]
** Subverted, in that despite being "darkness incarnate", Gul'dan went out like a bitch. The boast is said as he's ''bleeding to death.''
** Also from ''[[Warcraft]]:''
{{quote|'''Mannoroth''': Stupid, pitiful creature. I am the rage in your heart. I am the fury in your thoughts. I alone empowered you to bring chaos to this world, and by the endless void you ''shall!''}}
** Naturally, [[Big Bad|Arthas]] gets one of his own:
{{quote|'''Arthas''': So come then, you heroes! [[Throwing Down the Gauntlet|Come in all your power and glory!]] For in the final hour, all must serve the [[Punctuated! For! Emphasis!|one...true...king]]."}}
*** "Let them come! [[Catch Phrase|Frostmourne hungers!]]"
*** "When my work is complete, you will beg for mercy...and I will ''deny'' you. Your anguished cries will be testament to my unbridled power."
** Yogg-Saron from ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' gets one.
{{quote|'''Yogg-Saron/Sara''': I am the lucid dream... the monster in your nightmares... the fiend of a thousand faces! Cower before my true form! BOW DOWN BEFORE THE GOD OF DEATH!}}
*** ''ONE''? Geez, with as many boasts as he makes, one starts to wonder if he's a [[Cosmic Horror]] or [[A God Am I|an egomaniac on a power trip]].
**** He could be both. Perhaps he's annoyed that Arthas has been stealing his thunder as a death god.
{{quote|'''Yogg-Saron''': He will learn... no king rules forever; only DEATH is eternal!}}
** Another one from Ulduar:
{{quote|'''Algalon''': Your actions are illogical. All possible results for this encounter have been calculated. The Pantheon will receive the Observer's message regardless of outcome.}}
** Deathwing gets one in ''Beyond The Dark Portal'' (the book).
{{quote|''Puny mortals! I have had many names throughout history, all of them spoken with dread: Neltharion, Xaxas, and many more. Yet you shall know me best as Deathwing, for so I am! I am the bane of all life, the darkness within history, the lord of death, the master of destruction. And I tell you now, and so it is true, that this world is '''mine'''!''}}
*** Deathwing likes doing this. Here's one from when you fight him in the Dragon Soul raid:
{{quote|''I am Deathwing, The Destroyer, the end of all things... inevitable... indominable... i... am... the... Cataclysm}}
** Not to mention Saurfang's pre-battle speech atop Icecrown Citadel: "Things are about to get ''[[It Got Worse|much worse]]''!"
** Zul'jin:
{{quote|"Da Amani nevah surrender. We nevah give up. We nevah die. Dis. Is. Our. Land. You wanna stay? You stay heah forever. We gonna bury you here."}}
** This one goes back to vanilla wow; from when High Overlord [[Memetic Badass|Saurfang]] was just a quest giver; this is what he'd say whenever you initiated conversation with him.
{{quote|'''Saurfang:''' I am he who watches they. I am the fist of retribution. That which does quell the recalcitrant. Do you dare defy the Warchief? Do you dare face my merciless judgement?}}
** Vol'jin to Garrosh:
{{quote|''I know exactly what i'll be doin' about it, Son of Hellscream. I'll watch and wait as ya people slowly become aware of ya ineptitude. I'll laugh as dey grow to despise ya, as I do. And when that times comes, when ya failure is complete and ya power is meaningless, I will be there ta end your rule. Swiftly, and silently. You will spend ya reign glancin' over ya shoulder, and fearin' da shadows. For when the time comes, and ya blood be slowly drainin' out, you will know ''exactly'' who fired da arrow that pierced ya black heart.''}}
** Baine Bloodhoof gives one on behalf of his father Cairne.
{{quote|'''Orno Grimtotem:''' You will die in shame like your pathetic father!
'''Baine:''' It took a coward's poison and the fury of Hellscream to bring my father down. WHAT CHANCE HAVE YOU?!  }}
** Ultraxion from the Dragon Soul raid:
{{quote|'''Ultraxion''': I am the beginning of the end...the shadow which blots out the sun...the bell which tolls your doom... For this moment ALONE was I made. Look upon your death, mortals, and despair!}}
* In ''[[League of Legends]]'', [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds|Veigar]], has the lines "Know, that if the tables were turned, I would show you no mercy!" and "Even death trembles in my presence!".
** "[[Fate Worse Than Death|Death is not the end for you.]] [[Eldritch Abomination|I have seen to it.]] [[Torture Cellar|For eternity,]] [[Punctuated! For! Emphasis!|you. Are. MINE!]]"
* [[Viewtiful Joe|Hulk Davidson]] introduces himself: "You know who I am? You know who I am? I'm the one that put that scar on Captain Blue's face! You'll be lucky to get out with your ''life!''"
* The "Jersey" accented Male voice in ''[[Wizardry]] 8'' would sometimes comment on himself, "I never boast, but uh... DAMN I'M GOOD!"
* The Arbiter in ''[[Halo]] 2'' has a very simple one:
{{quote|'''Half-Jaw:''' You are the Arbiter, the will of the prophets. But these are my Elites. Their lives matter to me. Yours does not.
'''The Arbiter:''' That makes two of us.
'''Half-Jaw:''' Mmff. }}
** Another comes in ''Halo 3'':
{{quote|'''Elite''': "Brute ships, staggered line! Ship Master! They outnumber us three to one!"
'''Half-Jaw''': "Then it is an even fight." }}
** Also involving the Arbiter (albeit a different one) in Halo Wars:
{{quote|'''Arbiter''': "My face will be the last thing your pathetic eyes ever see."}}
** Also:
{{quote|'''Forge''': And for the record... I would have kicked your ass the ''first'' time if the lady hadn't stopped me.}}
** The Master Chief, to Cortana. On board a giant ship literally wall-to-wall with [[Body Horror|Flood]]. Chief is a cunning tactician:
{{quote|'''John-117''': Thought I'd try shooting my way out... mix things up a little.}}
** From the beginning, Sergeant Major Avery J. Johnson had everybody else beat. In the original Halo's opening cinematic, what Johnson says depends on the difficulty. My personal favorite is on Legendary:
{{quote|'''Johnson''': Well, I don't care if it's God's own personal anti-son-of-a-bitch machine, or a giant hula hoop, we're not gonna let 'em have it! What we will let 'em have is a belly full of lead, and a pool of their own blood to drown in! Am I right, Marines?!
'''Marines''': Sir yes sir!!
'''Johnson''': Damn right I am! }}
** Mine is on Normal;
{{quote|'''Johnson''': Once again, it is our job to finish what the flyboys started. We are leaving this ship's platoon, and engaging the Covenant on solid ground. When we meet the enemy, you will rip their skulls from their spines, and toss 'em away, laughin'! Am I right, Marines?}}
** Or when he's making fun of the Prophet of Regret:
{{quote|'''Johnson:''': Dear Humanity, we ''Regret'' being alien bastards! We ''Regret'' coming to Earth! And we most definitely ''Regret'' that the Corps just blew up our raggedy-ass fleet!
'''Pilots''': Oorah! }}
** Hell, Johnson is ''full'' of these, for every difficult. One reason to play games trough on different difficulties is just to hear what Johnson says next.
{{quote|'''Johnson:''' (to panicking marine) When I joined the Corps, we didn't have any fancy-shmancy tanks. We had sticks! Two sticks, and a rock for the whole platoon -- and we had to share the rock! Buck up, boy, you're one very lucky Marine!}}
** Even in the novels Johnson continues to give some awesome boasts.
{{quote|'''Johnson:''' (after he didn't get infected by the Flood) Hell, Chief, it'll take more than that pack of walking alien horror-show freaks to take out Sergeant A.J. Johnson.}}
** Then again, there's the Gravemind's line from Halo 3:
{{quote|'''Gravemind:''' I have defeated fleets of thousands! Consumed a galaxy of FLESH and MIND and BONE!}}
** One Spartan has one in ''Halo Wars'':
{{quote|'''Spartan:''' [[War Is Hell]] and I'm the Devil.}}
** Even the [[The Goomba|Grunts]] have one in ''Halo 3: ODST'':
{{quote|'''Grunt:''' There are ten millions of us and there are a dozen of you, how do you like those odds?!}}
* Sovereign gets an amazing one in ''[[Mass Effect 1]]'':
{{quote|Rudimentary creatures of blood and flesh. You touch my mind, fumbling in ignorance, incapable of understanding. There is a realm of existence so far beyond your own you cannot even imagine it. I am beyond your comprehension. I am Sovereign. Organic life is nothing but a genetic mutation, an accident. Your lives are measured in years and decades. You wither, and die. We are eternal. The pinnacle of evolution and existence. Before us, you are nothing. Your extinction is inevitable. We are the end of everything. {{spoiler|Your civilization is based on the technology of the mass relays, our technology. By using it, your society develops along the paths we desire.}} We impose order on the chaos of organic evolution. You exist because we allow it, and you will end because we demand it. We have no beginning. We have no end. We are infinite. Millions of years after your civilization has been eradicated and forgotten, we will endure. We are legion. The time of our return is coming. Our numbers will darken the sky of every world. You cannot escape your doom. Your words are as empty as your future. I am the vanguard of your destruction. This exchange is over.}}
** The exchange between Wrex and the Citadel Security officer ''as they're standing in C-Sec headquarters.''
{{quote|'''C-Sec:''' Witnesses heard you making threats in Fist's bar. I'm warning you, stay away from him.
'''Wrex:''' You should warn Fist. I ''will'' kill him.
'''C-Sec:''' Do you want me to arrest you?!
'''Wrex:''' I want you to ''try.'' }}
** From ''Mass Effect 2'': "We do not experience fear, but we understand how it affects you." -- Legion
*** Legion gets a line that was cut in his trailer to ''sound'' like a [[Badass Boast]], ("You organics do not choose to fear us. It is a function of your hardware.") but in the context of the scene is actually very sad.
** {{spoiler|"Human, you have changed nothing. Your species has the attention of those infinitely your greater. That which you know as Reapers are your salvation through destruction."}}
** "Nothing can hurt me!!" -- Grunt
** "I am pure krogan. You should be in awe!"
** "I'll relinquish one bullet; where do you want it?"
** "Killing is an art, and I... am a master." -- Thane
** From Renegade Shepard, during Thane's Loyalty mission:
{{quote|'''Shepard:''' If I chose to, I could kill every person in this room and walk out unscathed
'''Lawyer:''' You're insane!
'''Shepard:''' Our suits have kinetic barriers. Your legal briefs don't. And I'm in a hurry
'''Thane:''' The law is only a protection if everyone agrees to be bound by it. We don't. }}
** Another one from Renegade Shepard:
{{quote|'''Garrus:''' The collectors already killed you once, and all it did was piss you off. I can't imagine they'll stop you this time
'''Shepard:'''(about to launch attack on collector base) The collectors are about to find out what happens when you piss me off! }}
** Kal'Reegar has a particularly good one on Haestrom:
{{quote|The geth might get me, but I'm not going to die from an infection in the middle of battle. That's just ''insulting''!}}
** From Paragon Shepard him/herself in the ''Lair of the Shadow Broker DLC:
{{quote|[[Good Is Not Soft|I sacrificed hundreds of human lives to save the Destiny Ascension! I unleashed the Rachni on the galaxy! So for your sake, hope your escape plan doesn't hinge on me hesitating to shoot a damn hostage!]]}}
** From ''[[Mass Effect 3]]'':
{{quote|'''Grunt:''' I don't need luck. I have ammo.}}
** And from Wrex:
{{quote|'''Wrex:''' I am Urdnot Wrex and [[Punctuated! For! Emphasis!|THIS! IS MY! PLANET!]]}}
** One from Javik most people probably missed:
{{quote|'''Javik:''' My kind was arrogant once. It's not strategy, it's stupidity.
'''Wreav:''' What are you exactly?
'''Javik:''' Prothean.
'''Wreav:''' Really? And how many of you are left?
'''Javik:''' Enough to kill you. }}
* [[Metal Gear Solid|"A cornered fox... is more dangerous than a]] [[Heroic Sacrifice|Jackal!"]]
** Precursor to the above "In the middle east, we don't hunt foxes, we hunt jackals! and instead of foxhounds we use royal harriers! just how strong is that exoskeleton of yours? Snake, are you just going to sit by and watch him die?"
** Also:
{{quote|'''Old Snake''': ''[after {{spoiler|injecting Vamp with the nanomachine inhibitor}}]'' Now you're just a mere mortal like the rest of us.
'''Vamp''': Impressive...but can you kill ''this'' "mere mortal"? }}
*** and this one:
{{quote|'''Raiden''': I am lightning, the rain transformed.}}
** And this one:
{{quote|'''Naked Snake''': And you're forget one more very basic thing. You don't have what it takes to kill me.}}
* "I am matter... I am antimatter... I can see your past... I can see your future... I consume time... and I will consume you!" -- [[Bonus Boss|Culex]], ''[[Super Mario RPG]]: Legend of the Seven Stars''
** [[Super Mario Bros.|Bowser]] absolutely revels in going into these. His ego really shines at the end of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story|Bowser's Inside Story]]'', where he faces off with {{spoiler|the [[Eldritch Abomination|Dark]] [[Sealed Evil in a Can|Star]], a near omnipotent dark power that has copied Bowser's body, gene by gene, creating Dark Bowser.}}
{{quote|''' {{spoiler|Dark Bowser}}''': Soon, this kingdom will vanish along with all who dwell within. And you too will sleep eternally in the dark powers' embrace!
'''Bowser''': [[Evil Laugh|GWAHAHA!]] Great dark hurricane! Seriously, perfect backdrop for an awesome final battle! You really sweat the details! ...Listen up! You're saying the kingdom will vanish? '''NOT TODAY! THIS KINGDOM IS ALL MINE! SO YOU VANISH!''' }}
* "[My] name is Sanger. Sanger Zonvolt. The Sword That Cleaves Evil!" and "There is nothing my [[BFS|Colossal Blade]] cannot cleave!" -- Sanger Zonvolt, from ''[[Super Robot Wars]]''. (Evil would occasionally be replaced by something more appropriate to the enemy he faced -- if it was a God, then he became The Sword That Cleaves God, and so on.)
* ''[[Psychonauts]]'': "I am the milkman. My milk is delicious. Special delivery today!"
* ''[[Baldur's Gate]] II''
{{quote|'''Jon Irenicus:''' I cannot be caged. I cannot be controlled. Understand this as you die, ever pathetic, ever fools.}}

{{quote|'''Sarevok''': "I live! Flesh and blood and bone! I AM ALIVE! HAHAHAHAHA! I swore I would scratch and crawl my way back into the world of the living, and I have DONE IT!" }}

{{quote|'''Firkraag''': It is, as they say, your funeral. Now I'm afraid that you must feel the wrath of [[Our Dragons Are Different|the most ancient of Faerun's species]]. Do you think your divine blood enough to match? I highly doubt it.}}
** And then there's the mysterious, unnamed [[Sealed Evil in a Can]] in Watcher's Keep; all he needs to do is introduce himself when you choose to fight him.
{{quote|Know me, then, by my best name, mortal. You face Demogorgon, Prince of Demons.
(If you trigger the fight by freeing him instead) Demogorgon is free, Death my scepter and Pain my crown! The Prince of Demons will loose sweet destruction. }}
* ''[[Planescape: Torment]]''
{{quote|'''Vhailor:''' When the injustice is great enough, justice will lend me the strength needed to correct it. None may stand against it. It will shatter every barrier, sunder any shield, tear through any enchantment, and lend its servant the power to pass sentence. Know this: There is nothing on all the Planes that can stay the hand of justice when it is brought against them. It may unmake armies. It may sunder the thrones of gods. Know that for all who betray justice, I am their fate. And fate carries an executioner's axe.
'''Nameless One:''' I see.
'''Vhailor:''' No, you do not see. ''Pray'' you never will. }}
** '''The Transcendent One''' seems to like this trope quite a bit:
*** "I AM THAT WHICH WALKS WITH ALL LIFE. MY VOICE IS A DEATH RATTLE, A LAST BREATH IN THE THROAT, THE WHISPER OF A DYING MAN."
*** "I CAN FORGE PLANES WITH MY POWER! I CAN UNMAKE YOU!"
*** And in the same tone, '''Coaxmetal''':
**** "I FORGE THE WEAPONS BY WHICH THE MULTIVERSE WILL BE UNMADE."
** And the marvelously simple:
{{quote|'''Dak'kon''': "I have been here before."}}
** Or...
{{quote|'''Dak'kon''': "I may be bested in battle, but I shall never be defeated."}}
** '''Ravel''': "I have forgotten more of the Art than you shall ever know."
* ''[[Sword of the Stars]]: Born of Blood'' grants us [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijAYZimvpww this] three-minute [[Badass Boast]] from the [[Scary Dogmatic Aliens|new species]].
{{quote|'''Zuul Dominus:''' We are the [[Chosen One|chosen ones]]; born of the divine. [[Super Soldier|We are shaped in the image of the great masters; born to serve them in the infinite depths]]. We are warriors, wise men, fathers, ''masters''. And ''this'' is the time of our ordeal: The great silence. When we will prove ourselves worthy to join the immortal gods, and hear their voices once again. It took ''years'' to rise from the world of our spawning. It took ''decades'' to [[Mind Rape|reap the wisdom of our first quarry]]. But our wiles are unlimited, and our thirst for knowledge strong. We have laid quiet in the shadows for more than a century; skulking amongst the darkened hulls of dead ships, raiding the periphery for slaves and secrets. We tear apart flesh, steel, mind, memory chip, seeking the spark of truth. Seeking the ''gods'' of our birth. And always, we hunger for ''more''. The time has come: We can wait no longer for the great masters to return. Our numbers increase daily. Our children hunger. Our females lust for war. This galaxy is ''unworthy'' of its gods, overrun by ignorant, arrogant ''slaves'': Mindless insects. Pompous lizards. Chattering apes. ''Blaspheming'' rebels. It is time to teach them ''all'' their place in the great scheme. They will learn to serve their betters... Or ''die''. As it was commanded, so it shall be done! We will sweep ''all'' enemies from our path. In the darkness of this galaxy, we will forge an empire of light! We will be ''worthy''! We will find the gods, ''wherever'' they are hiding! We will end their silence, and become their ''claws'' once again! [[Badass Creed|Born of fire! Born of steel! Born of science!]] ''[[Title Drop|Born! Of! Blood]]!''}}
** And not to be outdone, the next expansion added [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYgti3MKCDg&fmt=18 another one]:
{{quote|'''Morrigi Morro'Quan:''' Look to the skies, children of the dust, and heed my words. I am first amongst travelers, lord of the night sky, and leader of the clans.

[[Ancient Astronauts|We came down to share with your ancestors]], but we returned to find death. Our females slaughtered, our worlds picked over like carrion. You have laid us a banquet of sorrow.

Blindly you wander, violating the tombs of ''my'' fathers, and trailing your pestilence upon my wives and daughters. And I say: ''Enough''. ''Real'' war is coming. The travellers will yield no longer to ''any'' who crawl: In land or sea. Find some other place to build your foul nests, and fight your petty battles. These stars are ''sacred'', and they are ''mine''! So look to the skies, children of the dust, and see ''my'' Kind! I am the dragon with a thousand wings!

** Don't forget the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H91qZSfYLoU&feature=related ''humans''' Badass Boast] in the original [[Sword of the Stars]].
{{quote|Early in the 22nd century, humanity escaped from Einstein's cage. The giant ring-shaped engines of the node drive gave us the power to leap to the nearest stars at many times the speed of light. After centuries of dreaming, we were finally free to leave the cradle of our home world. It took us years to build the Earth's first colony ship. The Nova Maria was a symbol for all mankind. Soon it was loaded with humanity's best and brightest. They prepared to depart, ready to inherit a galaxy which we had long ago decided was devoid of intelligent life. The universe was all out there for our taking. ''Hmph...'' someone should have told that to the Hivers. They came in silence. No statement of intention, no declaration of war. Without even a demand for our surrender. They hit us without warning. Within seconds, our dreams for peaceful expansion were so many burning meteors falling to Earth. We barely survived the first Hiver incursion. Years later we would find that we had faced only a small nesting fleet. We had yet to see the full power of the swarm. But the Hive was not the only threat. When we ventured forth, we soon encountered the ruthless legions of the Tarka, and eventually, the phantom fleets of the enigmatic Liir. ''And so, we learned'' - how to build ''bigger, stronger ships, more powerful weapons''. Humanity had to explore, expand, and even conquer, just to hold our own [[In a World|in a universe]] where weakness was extinction. In order to survive, ''we learned to wield... the '''[[Title Drop|Sword of the Stars]]!'''''}}

** He gets another one when he attacks the Blood Raven stronghold in North Vandia. When Captain Thule is trying to rally his men Eliphas interjects with: "Such inspiring courage! Perhaps we'll mount your corpse on a golden chair and make an idol out of you as well."
** "Only I can hear your prayers in this place, my friend. And I am afraid I will not answer them."
** Upon his [[Big Damn Heroes]] entrance in Dawn of War 2, Captain Thule simply says to a [[Bee People|Tyranid]] Hive Tyrant, an immense living tank with scythes and guns for arms, that is intent on devouring all life on the planet: "I am Davian Thule. I am your death." He then proceeds to rip the Tyrant limb from limb.
** [[Smug Snake]] Tahril in Soulstorm has one with this:

** Welkin also has one very early, when his squad doesn't really trust him as a commander. He examines the current military situation (a shitload of troops holds a bridge that the good guys can't take back without heavy losses) and promptly declares that he can take it with ''just his squad'' if they trust him. They don't believe him, but let him try.  {{spoiler|He, of course, succeeds.}}

* In [[Dissidia Final Fantasy|Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy]], [[Final Fantasy V|Exdeath]], who has caught wind of [[Final Fantasy IV|Kain Highwind]] knocking out his own allies and storing them somewhere, choses to corner Kain and demands of him to tell Exdeath where he keeps his KO'd allies so that Exdeath may go there finish the job. Exdeath further points out that Kain is in no good position at all; on the one hand he has a recently knocked out [[Final Fantasy II|Firion]] lying right next to him, on the other hand he has an [[Omnicidal Maniac]] of a Warlock who has almost complete [[Power of the Void]] threatening to do duel with him if he does not meet said Warlock's demands. The question is thus posed: Will he abandon his friend, using Firion's life as a distraction, and use the moment to escape; will he say where he keeps his other allies so that Exdeath may go and destroy them instead of him and Firion; or will he stay and fight a hopeless battle? Kain replies by arming himself.
{{quote|'''Exdeath:''' So, you offer your life in exchange for theirs?

** Kain gets another one later. He's just offered to stay behind and fight both Exdeath, Golbez, ''and'' a host of [[Mooks|manikins]] on his own so that his companions can continue on towards the real battle without hindrance. After fighting through the manikins, he confronts Exdeath again (while [[The Mole|Golbez]] watches), even knowing that he's at the limit of his strength and he doesn't have long before he collapses.

* ''[[Prototype (video game)|Prototype]]'''s Alex Mercer roars this at [[General Ripper|Colonel Taggart]]: '''''"NOTHING WILL PROTECT YOU FROM ME! NOT MEN! NOT WEAPONS! NOT ARMOR!"'''''
** Note: Armor is slang for Tanks in this game.
** Note #2: Alex is [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge|not]] [[Unstoppable Rage|kidding]].
** Alex follows it up with "LIKE IT'S GONNA MAKE A DIFFERENCE!" when they send [[Tank Goodness|tanks]] after you while you're chasing after Taggart while he's in ''his'' [[Kill It with Fire|Thermobaric Tank.]] This is a tank which can blow up a city block in one shot, and Mercer isn't even afraid. He's just '''pissed'''.
** Early on, to the first Hunter he sees: "I don't know what you are, but I'm gonna kill you!"
* "I am the morning sun, come to vanquish the horrible night!" -- Shanoa, ''[[Castlevania]]: Order of Ecclesia''

* Alex from ''[[Golden Sun]]'' gets one at the beginning of the second game. When he defeats a few guards, the survivor yells for reinforcements. Alex replies, in a normal tone of voice, "Do you truly believe even a thousand of you could stop me?"
* ''[[Final Fantasy XII]]'', a magnificent subversion when the two fated opponents, set against each other by the Gods, and ''given'' power by the Gods (though one of them forcefully renounced it,) meet at long last for their [[Final Battle]]:
{{quote|'''Vayne''': Permit me to ask: who are you? An angel of vengeance? Or perchance a saint of salvation?

** The fact that everything after the [[Transformation Sequence]] is said in the [[Voice of the Legion]], and the player is treated with a sequence of the heroes' [[Oh Crap]] faces, set to an [[Orchestral Bombing]] accompanied by [[Ominous Latin Chanting|Omnious Latin Chantings]] makes this Badass Boast transcend far into the territory of epicness.
** Another from the game's final boss, equally as epic:
{{quote|'''{{spoiler|Orphan}}''': A heaven yea, yet it must fall ere we be saved. Too frail a shell and humans should not thrive. Too stout a shell and they would not die! Slaughter and Salvation!

* Shiki from ''[[Tsukihime]]''.
{{quote|''You don't know of the illusion that the whole world could perish in an instant. That is what it means to see death. These eyes, this power isn't something you can boast about like you did.

* Shirou from ''[[Fate/stay night]]'', after manifesting his Reality Marble.
{{quote|''...That's right. I don't create swords. I create a world that contains infinite swords. This is the only magic allowed for me. There's no need to be surprised. These are all imitations.

* [[Kara no Kyoukai:|Ryougi Shiki]] has a pretty good one at the end of her arcade story mode in [[Melty Blood|MBAA]]
{{quote|"Hmph, don't regret saying that vampire, or whatever the hell you are. It doesn't matter how many tens of thousands or hundreds of millions of lives you have.

{{quote|''Sigma, you should have studied the blueprints closer. There is only one Zero!''}}
* In the ''[[Jak and Daxter]]'' series, [[Weasel Mascot|Daxter]] has a habit of doing this ''all the time''. But it's important to note that, starting in the [[Your Mileage May Vary|second or third]] game, [[Took a Level in Badass|this]] [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass|started]] [[Badass|to]] [[Pint-Sized Powerhouse|change]].
* In the Quake-engine RPG ''[[Anachronox]]'', Sly Boots has one near the end of the game, at the second part of a boss fight after the antagonist has been chased into a second room.
{{quote|"You know what the difference is between you, and the you five minutes ago? The you five minutes ago had ''five minutes to live''!}}
* In previous versions of ''[[Final Fantasy IV]]'', when [[One-Winged Angel|Zeromus]] makes his first appearence, he simply states what he/she/it/they is: pure hatred. In the DS version, Zeromus initially takes the form of a towering whirlwind of dark fire, and delivers this positively ''chilling'' boast:
{{quote|'''Zeromus:''' "I am the wellspring of darkness, fed by Zemus's unbridled hate. I am He who is called Zeromus. I am He who knows ''naught but hate!''"}}
* ''[[Fire Emblem]]'' has a few of these as well.
{{quote|'''Wallace:''' "Look! A giant walks among you!! My defense is impenetrable! Come! Break your weapons against me!"
'''Valter:''' "I am Valter, the Moonstone, Grado's finest general! And you're just a corpse who does not know he is dead."
'''Stefan:''' "I am the desert, and I brook no intrusion. Make peace with your goddess." }}
** Specifically, [[Fire Emblem Tellius|Ike]] has had some great ones. {{spoiler|Ashera is the Goddess and final boss}}, by the way
{{quote|'''Ike:''' "So that's how it's going to be, huh? Then we will fight... and we will save our people. Make your peace with whatever {{spoiler|the gods}} worship. Your end is near."
{{spoiler|'''Ashera:'''}} "My end is near?"
'''Ike:''' "In every battle that mattered in my life, I've always been the one left standing, no matter how slim my chances. This battle means more than any of the others, because it's for the life of every person that I've ever cared about. I will win this fight." }}
* Zexion from ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]:''
{{quote|'''Zexion''': Then I shall make you see... That your hopes are nothing! Nothing but a mere illusion!}}
** And this one:
{{quote|'''Maleficent''': You poor, simple fools. You think you can defeat me? Me, The Mistress of All Evil!!}}
* From the ''[[Touhou Project]]'':
** '''Youmu Konpaku''': "The things that cannot be cut by my Roukanken, forged by youkai, are close to none!"
*** In the doujin showing the back story to 12.8, Cirno says one too:
{{quote|'''Cirno''': I can fire off danmaku stronger than a blizzard, dodge cherry blossom petals with ease. I AM THE STRONGEST!}}
** '''Utsuho Reiuji''': Her dialogue near the end of any character's in SA Stage 6, just about the battle is about to begin.
** Special mention must go to the oni, Yuugi Hoshiguma, who manages to make a [[Badass Boast]] by ''revealing her weakness'':
{{quote|'''Masrisa:''' That's it, now just tell me your weakpoint please.
'''Yuugi:''' I'm one of the four Devas of the Mountain, Yuugi the Strong. My weak point is [[Weaksauce Weakness|fried beans, of course.]]<br />
'''Marisa:''' Huh, I wish they'd all been this cooperative. Too bad I don't have any fried beans on me.<br />
'''[[Mission Control|Patchouli:]]''' Her weak point is fried beans? Fried beans... [[Oh Crap|No way.]] }}
*** For those less familiar with Touhou and Japanese mythology, Yuugi's weakness identifies her as one of the oni, giant horned ogres who in the Touhou universe are some of the biggest, baddest youkai around.
** '''Toyosatomimi no Miko''': "This era, when humans deny my existence and I have become legend, is what I was waiting for! Now, attempt to defeat me! And I shall become a living legend!"
** Basically, it would be easier to name the bosses who do ''not'' declare just how they are going to use their powers to destroy you in the dialogue before your fight with them.
* Auron from ''[[Final Fantasy X]]''. Being a [[Badass]], any boast he makes counts as a [[Badass Boast]]. One notable example: "Being  {{spoiler|dead}} has its advantages."
** Jecht is promoted to a [[Braggart Boss]] in ''[[Dissidia Final Fantasy]]'', so he gets a lot of these. One of his victory quotes is: "There's no shame in losin' to ''me''!"
** In Tidus' story mode, Jecht [[Punched Across the Room|punches him twenty feet backwards into a wall]] and nonchalantly remarks: "Look what happens when I don't hold back!"
* In ''[[BlazBlue]]'', Hakumen starts his fights with this:
{{quote|"I am the white void. I am the cold steel. I am the just sword. With blade in hand I shall reap the sins of this world and cleanse it the the fires of destruction! I am Hakumen! The end has come!"}}
** Hell, making Badass Boasts is like Hakumen's ''favorite thing.''
{{quote|"A match? No. This will be a ''massacre!''"
"Give everything, and you ''might'' live a little longer!"
"I hope you know what it means... to stand before me!" }}
** Ragna's are little more concise, but no less badass.
{{quote|"You're too weak to stand infront of me!"
"I'll show you the power of the Azure! I'll show you fear... There is no hell, just Darkness. [[One-Winged Angel|This is the power of Darkness!]]" }}
** In the latter stages of the story mode, Jin starts throwing these around about as frequently as Hakumen. [[My Future Self and Me|Which is appropriate.]] They're a little less grandiose, but no less badass.
{{quote|"Was I not clear? This enemy is mine, and mine alone. You are nothing more than a ghost out of my past!"
"I will no longer tolerate your existence."
"I am the cold steel, the blade that will restore balance to this world!" }}
* Igniz from [[The King of Fighters]] 2001 gives one just before you fight him:
{{quote|"If you think you can prevail over N.E.S.T.S, the Masters of Darkness, and ME, its highest authority... then by all means come and try!"}}
* A few voiced characters in ''[[Super Smash Bros Brawl]]'' get some impressive ones when their [[Limit Break|Final Smash]] is activated.

* From the little known game ''[[Rise of Legends]]'' comes this jewel:
{{quote|'''Carlini:''' You want this thing?! ''Come and take it!'' I've been a soldier for 43 years! I've had my leg blown off! I've served in two wars! I've killed more men than I can count! I've never backed down from anything in my life! And I'm sure as hell not gonna start today.}}
** {{spoiler|Subverted when Carlini promptly gets killed about three seconds after all his boasting by [[Big Bad|Czin]] who simply walks off with the [[MacGuffin]]. Complete with scream. Czin is apparently just that [[Badass]].}}
* [[Hitman|Agent 47]]: "I can do whatever I'm paid to."
* Black Frost from ''[[Shin Megami Tensei]]'': "I'm Black Frost, ho! Don't underestimate [[Badass Adorable|me]], hee-ho!"
* ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron]]'' has a few of these:
** "You thought you could destroy me!? You thought you could destroy TYRPTICON!? Ah...pathetic"
** "You have changed NOTHING! Autobots! You have only untethered your destruction!"
** "You think you can destroy MEGATRON?! Omega Supreme!?
* In ''[[Sly Cooper]] and the Thievius Racconus'', [[Big Bad|Clockwerk]] gives one to Sly in this exchange:
{{quote|"How old are you?"
"Perfection has no age." }}
** And then slightly later in the dialogue:
{{quote|"Revenge is the prime ingredient within the fountain of youth."}}
** And Sly's own retort: "That's where you're wrong. The Thievius Raccoonus doesn't create great thieves. It takes great thieves to create the Thievius Raccoonus."
* Though it comes just before {{spoiler|Drakath kills him}}, Sepulchure gets an awesome one in ''[[Adventure Quest Worlds]]'':
{{quote|I '''AM''' DARKNESS! I '''AM''' DOOM... NO FORCE IN THIS WORLD CAN DESTROY WHAT I AM! '''LONG UNLIVE THE SHADOWSCYTHE!!!'''}}
* From ''[[Bayonetta]]'', "[[Precision F-Strike|Don't fuck]] [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|with a witch]]."
* ''[[Legacy of Kain|Blood Omen]]'', Vorador as he slaughters six of the most powerful sorcerers in the world, while they call for their protector.
{{quote|"Call your dogs! ''They can feast on your corpses!''"}}
*** Kain's
{{quote|"I fear no dangers, do you hear? They will fear me."}}
*** Malek's boast against Vorador wasn't half bad either:
{{quote|"I'll hack you from crotch to gizzard and feed what's left of you to your brides... "}}
** ''[[Legacy of Kain|Soul Reaver]]'' also has a few:
{{quote|"Kain killed me once, behold the result. I have nothing more to fear from you."}}
** ''Soul Reaver 2'' gave Moebius one:
{{quote|"Poor, deluded Raziel... did you somehow imagine you had the guile to change history on me? I'm the Time-Streamer! I knew your every move before you did, you imbecile! "}}
** And finally in ''Defiance'' during Kain's climatic clash with {{spoiler|the Elder}}:
{{quote|"False God! This is the end... the final turn of your Wheel!"}}
*** Following his we get:
{{quote|'''{{spoiler|the Elder}}''':"You cannot destroy me, Kain. I am the {{spoiler|Engine of Life itself... the Wheel will turn}}. The plague of your kind will be purged from this world. And on that inevitable day, your wretched, stagnant soul will finally be mine!"
'''Kain''': In the meantime, you'd best burrow deep. " }}
* ''[[Assassin's Creed]]: Brotherhood gives us Cesare Borgia's "If I want to live, I live! If I want to take, I take! If I want you to die, '''YOU DIE!'''"
** Unfortunately for Cesare, he has a penchant for uttering badass boasts primarily while someone is successfully making him look like a chump.
* In [[Call of Duty]] Black Ops, while  {{spoiler|being forced to play Russian roulette, and after Bowman is killed}}, Woods barks at Vietnamese soldier, "YOU CAN'T KILL ME!"
* "Daddy can fix anything!" -[[Dead Rising 2|Chuck Greene]]
* Almost everyone's pre-quote in ''[[Marvel vs. Capcom 3]]'' is this, but Taskmaster takes the cake: "YOU are the ass-kick'''EE''', I am the ass-kick'''ER'''!
* There are many in ''[[Tales of Symphonia]]'' but one that tends to stand out is  {{spoiler|during your first time to the tower of salvation and after you kill Remiel you fight Kratos and as it goes to the battle screen he says "Do you earnestly think you can defeat ME?"}}
* [[F-Zero|Captain Falcon]] gets a pretty epic one in the story mode for F-Zero GX, just before facing off against  {{spoiler|the ''creators of his universe''}}:
{{quote|'''Falcon''': Come off it! You think ''you'' can beat ''me''?! Get real!}}
**  {{spoiler|They can't, as it turns out.}}
* The ending of ''[[Crimzon Clover]]'' has one for ''the entire [[Shoot'Em Up]] genre'': "Shooting game never die." Badass enough that [[Narm Charm|one could forgive the poor English skills of the developer]].
* Magus gets several in [[Chrono Trigger]], likely because he's an optional character. He always has to use one before every major battle...
{{quote|"If history is to be changed, let it change! If the world is to be destroyed, so be it! If my fate is to be destroyed, I must simply laugh! I'm coming, Lavos!"
"Okay... give me your best shot... If you're prepared for the void!"
"Oh, how dreadful. Say, do you hear that? It's the sound of the Reaper..." }}
* [[Splinter Cell|"I'm the guy you never saw."]]
* At the start of one of the Boss Battles in [[Duke Nukem 3D]], Duke is heard to say "I'll rip your head off and shit down your neck!" After the battle ends, there's a cut scene. Duke tears off the beast's head and throws it away, tosses down his backpack, turns around, unbuckles his belt, drops his pants, sits down, and pulls out a newspaper.
** [[Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project|"There're only two ways this can end. And in both of 'em, you die!"]]
* In the second game of the [[Sonny]] series of flash games, Sonny and Veradux have just agreed to take out a cult that set up shop in the mountain village in return for Roald, the leader of the rebel movement, personally taking them to Hew. In one battle, the ranking officer among the zealots you're fighting shouts some orders to his underlings, and Sonny responds.
{{quote|'''Priest''': Sacrifice the intruders! Thier blood will save us from death!
'''Sonny''': But nothing will save you from ME. }}
* ''[[Rosenkreuzstilette|"I have that which I must protect... even from the hands of God!"]]''
** Grolla: ''"Then I shall become a demon slayer and crush you where you stand!"''
* [[Metro 2033 (video game)|Metro 2033]] has a good one from Hunter near the start of the game.
{{quote|Hunter: You can all go like lambs to the slaughter, but I'll hold on to what life I've got with teeth and claws, and I'll take more than a few of your Homo Novus with me to Hell!!}}
* ''[[Dragon Fable]]'': From literally the most evil villain that Artix Entertainment has created so far. as he launches one of the greatest attacks in history:
** '''Sepulchure''': FALCONREACH! On this day...you will know your place in the order of things. The tale of your destruction...shall be told for thousands of years! NO ONE stands against the mighty Sepulchure! NO ONE withstands my wrath. Your fate is sealed! Today...you will witness the birth of a legend! Today...I will destroy EVERYTHING you love. And when your heart is filled with pain and sorrow, and your mind is crushed under the weight of despair...I will claim the Orb of Darkness, and this world will be MINE. HAHAHAHA...There is nowhere to run. There is nowhere to hide.
* In the final battle of [[NieR]], the title character has one that establishes both his status as a [[Papa Wolf]] and [[The Unfettered]].
{{quote|''"You want me to understand your sadness? You think I'm gonna sympathize with you? I swore to protect my daughter and my friends. If someone puts them in danger, they must stand aside or be cut down! [[Bring It|Come on, let's go!"]]''}}
* Michizane from [[Otogi: Myth of Demons]] really likes these, heres the one he says while assuming his final form...
{{quote|"I am Life. I am Death. I am the Stars. I am the Heavens. The fires of hell echo in the skys, and I am reborn! Grant me power though your light! I am Michizane."}}
* ''[[Persona 4]]'': "Can you make salad?" "I eat salad for breakfast!"
** And for a more comedic example: "I'm going to RENOVATE your ass!"
* ''[[Ghostbusters the Video Game]]'': "We eat gods for breakfast!"
** "[[Hubris|Too much]], do you think?"
** "No, I like it!"
* Among fans, it's common to say that [[Dark Forces Saga|Kyle Katarn]] [[Chuck Norris Facts|eats stormtroopers for breakfast.]] He never actually says it himself, though.
* [[Mercenaries]] 2: after receiving a particularly grievous wound Mattias Nilson will proclaim "I *eat* pain!"
* [[Dizzy (series)|Dizzy]] Prince of the Yolkfolk's manual warns "Keep away from Rockwart the Troll; he eats eggs for breakfast"
* After one mission in [[Advance Wars|Advance Wars: Black Hole Rising]], Nell asks Max if he's alright. Max's reply is that his troops "eat this stuff for breakfast".
* [[Rift|Dacia]] [[Badass Normal|Ultan]] has claimed more trophies than some entire tribes. And only let her quarry escape once.
* [[EarthBound|Giygas]] would have had a pretty cool one, but  {{spoiler|he was absolutely insane at the time}}, so  {{spoiler|Porky}} had to give one for him.
** In [[Mother 3]],  {{spoiler|Porky Minch}} gets some pretty cool lines:
{{quote|{{spoiler|Porky}}: Let me fill you in on something. No matter how much you attack me, I'll never die. Even if I somehow wind up beaten, I'll never die. Bet you didn't know that, did you?}}
* Since in ''[[Dark Souls]]'', [[Invulnerable Civilians]] is averted, many [[NPC|NPCs]] will shout a badass boast at you should you aggro them. [[Lord Error-Prone|Siegmeyer]] has a truly epic one when he attempts a [[Heroic Sacrifice]] for the player.
