Line 89:
{{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 [[ThisPunctuated! IsFor! SpartaEmphasis!|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."
Line 116:
{{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,]] [[ThisPunctuated! IsFor! SpartaEmphasis!|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!"
Line 180:
{{quote|'''Grunt:''' I don't need luck. I have ammo.}}
** And from Wrex:
{{quote|'''Wrex:''' I am Urdnot Wrex and [[ThisPunctuated! IsFor! SpartaEmphasis!|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.
Line 285:
** Durandal himself gets an awesome, albeit odd one in the first game:
{{quote|"Give me a D! Give me a U! Give me an R! Give me an A! Give me an N! Give me a D! Give me an A! Give me an L! What's it spell? Durandal? No. ''Durandal? No!'' T-R-O-U-B-L-E!"}}
* ''[[StarcraftStarCraft]]''
{{quote|'''Kerrigan:''' I am the Queen of Blades, and my stare alone would reduce you to ash!}}
** Also

** Shanoa gets another one in ''[[Castlevania]]: [[Harmony of Despair]]'', when revived after being killed.
{{quote|'''Shanoa''': "Hell could never hold me."}}
* ''[[Wild ArmsARMs]]'':
{{quote|'''Mother''': "I am Mother, Queen of the Demon Race... I have brought countless star systems to an end, each full of life... I am the messenger of death. Beings of life! Do you come here for judgement? Do you seek the glory of being devoured by a being of such eminence?"}}
** She has a much longer one in [[The Remake]] as well...
Line 340:
{{quote|"My body is a sword, and this place, a burial ground. Those who wish to die, come forth!"}}
* "I have bested [[Killer Rabbit|fruit]], [[Spikes of Doom|spike]] and [[Bad Moon Rising|moon]]! And now I will best you, [[I Wanna Be the Guy|The Guy!]]"
* At the climax of ''[[Mega Man X]] 2'', we are treated to [[Badass|Zero's]] subtle little boast, {{spoiler|just freshly [[Back Fromfrom the Dead]] to}} destroy a pitifully weak clone of his that [[Big Bad|Sigma]] made.
{{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 Inin 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''!}}
Line 375:
** 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 ''[[Blaz BlueBlazBlue]]'', 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.''
Line 453:
* ''[[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 [[Nie RNieR]], 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...
Line 467:
* 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.
* [[EarthboundEarthBound|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?}}
