'''Frieza:''' Simian Bastard! I am Lord Frieza... None surpass me... No one even comes close! Etch this into your skull! I am the emperor of the universe! The likes of you are only fit to grovel at my feet! Or better still... to die! In disgrace! AT THE HANDS OF YOUR MASTER!\\
'''Frieza:''' Poor stupid Saiyan, you honestly think you've won? Your puny mind could never understand. I am Frieza, the most powerful being in the universe. And you're nothing but a beast, a fragile animal! You can't win, because I am mighty and you are not! Now learn! LEARN WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU MESS WITH THE MOST POWERFUL BEING IN THE UNIVERSE!!

\'''Alucard:''' Now, [[spoiler:Luke Valentine]], it's time to educate you on how a real vampire does battle!

'''Kenpachi:''' [[spoiler:What's that face for? Did you imagine that I couldn't cut you? I'll only say this once, with your imagination, there's not a thing you can create that I cannot cut through. Because I am the "Kenpachi".]]

In the 4th book, after nearly being killed by her a second time due to a humongous in-universe RetCon, he threatens the Integrated Data Sentient Entity into not deleting Yuki. This is the IDSE, who's nothing but data, and cannot be detected. Kyon threatens it by convincing it that he can provoke Haruhi by saying that he is [[TrustPassword John Smith]]. It works.

'''Goku:''' You haven't figured it out yet? I'm a proud Saiyan who calls Earth home, and I'm here to defeat you. I am the warrior you've heard of in legend, pure of heart and awakened by fury, ''that's'' what I am. '''I AM THE SUPER SAIYAN, SON GOKU!'''

'''Broly''' the '''Gohan:''' Not until you lie dead at my feet.\\

'''Genjuro:''' You wanna know? I eat, watch movies and sleep! A true man needs nothing else!
** Hibiki gives this at the end of Episode 6 of "G". Do understand that touching a Noise outside of the transformation causes any regular human to disintegrate on the spot.

'''Hibiki:''' ''[initiating the [[TransformationSequence sequence]] BEFORE, but actually transforming AFTER punching the Noise!]'': My fist, my life! Both of them are my Symphogear!

----> '''Simon:''' [[spoiler:My bro is dead. He's gone! But he's right there on my back, and here in my heart! [[MySiblingWillLiveThroughMe He lives on as a part of me]]!]] If you're gonna dig, dig to the heavens. No matter what's in my way, I won't stop! Once I've dug through - it means that I've won! [[CatchPhrase ... Just who the hell do you think I am?]] I'm ''Simon''. I'm not my Bro! I'M ME! Simon the Digger!

* In ''Anime/ValvraveTheLiberator'', [[TheHero Haruto]] gets a great one during episode 17, following a brief [[HeroicBSOD period of depression]]. This is said while he's bashing through an enemy fleet and defeats them by erupting a volcano.

*** Also a deconstruction. He insists that, [[HopeBringer as symbols of hope]], it's actually ''vital'' for heroes to boast this way to reassure those around them.
