| 11 | ->''"[[JustForFun/{{Hello}} Hello.]] [[TropeNamers My name is Inigo Montoya.]] [[YouKilledMyFather You killed my father.]] [[PrepareToDie Prepare to die.]]"'' |
| 12 | -->-- '''Inigo Montoya'''[[note]]In one of the most [[JustForFun/TropeOverdosed trope-heavy]] statements in the history of literature; incidentally, it [[TropeNamers named most of them]].[[/note]], ''Literature/ThePrincessBride'' |
| 13 | |
| 14 | Before a duel begins, one character announces themselves to their opponent without any prompting, because they want their target to know [[PreAssKickingOneLiner who is about to pound them]]. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | Causes can be GenocideBackfire, YouKilledMyFather, or there could be nothing personal and the hero is just doing this ForGreatJustice. It can lead to ButForMeItWasTuesday, but is more likely to be caused by it. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | This trope is also very common in Japanese anime, manga, and videogames regardless of the situation: It was part of the {{Samurai}} code of honor to tell your opponent your name before fighting them and not doing so was considered rude. |
| 19 | |
| 20 | May directly accompany a HeroicSecondWind.[[note]]Which, for those of you wondering, is the [[Administrivia/LaunchDisplacement new name of the old trope that used to be called My Name Is Inigo Montoya.]][[/note]] |
| 21 | |
| 22 | Compare TransformationNameAnnouncement, InTheNameOfTheMoon, SayMyName, IAmXSonOfY, VerbalBusinessCard, IAmYourOpponent. See also MyNameIsQuestionMarks, BadassBoast. Contrast FullNameUltimatum, where someone else saying your name spells bad news for you. |

| 29 | [[folder:Anime & Manga]] |
| 30 | * ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'': |
| 31 | ** Ikkaku once explains to his opponent that the first thing Shinigami are taught when they learn how to fight is to always practice the custom known as 'the Last Courtesy'; this ensures that a Shinigami's opponent will always know the name of the person who killed them in battle. Some Arrancar practice something similar, but it's an act of individuality for them -- not all Arrancar believe in it, such as Ikkaku's opponent, Edorad. It is seen as extremely arrogant and rude when Byakuya refuses to give his name to his opponent, telling Zommari there's no point giving it to someone who is about to die, and when Mayuri asks for his opponent's name just so he can label the experiment jar he'll place Szayelaporro into. |
| 32 | --->''"To announce your name and rank is a custom taught to us when we learn how to fight. It's known as the Last Courtesy. If a person dies in combat, at least you get to know the name of the one that brought death to you."'' |
| 33 | ** When Ichigo asks his Inner Hollow for its name, it declares it has no name. [[spoiler:Later on, Ichigo learns the truth: his Inner Hollow's name is Zangetsu. The inner spirit that Ichigo had thought was Zangetsu was his Quincy heritage masquerading as his Shinigami power.]] |
| 34 | ** Like the Arrancar, the Quincies have an individual approach to whether or not they introduce themselves at the beginning of a battle. Some, like Haschwalth, are willing to play the Shinigami game and announce their identities at the beginning of a battle with a formality that rivals the Shinigami. |
| 35 | * In ''Literature/ACertainMagicalIndex'', magicians have a Magic Name, which they typically only reveal in a very serious situation, like when they declare they will kill someone, or when they need to use their full power. |
| 36 | * [[VillainProtagonist Light Yagami]] from ''Manga/DeathNote'' informs Naomi Misora that he is Kira, [[spoiler: approximately one second before her death kicks in]]. |
| 37 | * In ''Anime/DigimonFusion'', Shoutmon tends to begin a fight with something along the lines of "We are the ones who will change this world! We are Xros Heart!" |
| 38 | * ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' (technically ''Anime/DragonBallZKai''): "I'm the Saiyan who came all the way from Earth for the sole purpose of beating you. I am the warrior you've heard of in legends, pure of heart and awakened by fury. That's what I am. I AM THE SUPER SAIYAN, '''SON GOKU'''!" |
| 39 | ** Vegeta also does not let us forget that he's the "Prince of all Saiyans". |
| 40 | * ''Literature/FateZero'': Rider particularly does this, in the form of exposing himself as [[spoiler:[[UsefulNotes/AlexanderTheGreat Iskandar]], the King of Conquerors]]. This is generally considered a bad idea for a Servant because exposing their identity gives the enemy useful information about their weapons and powers. Some Servants, however, are [[AwesomeEgo so egotistical]] that they just don't care, like Rider and [[spoiler:Archer, aka [[Literature/TheEpicOfGilgamesh Gilgamesh]]]]. |
| 41 | * ''Anime/GaoGaiGar'': "[[TheNameisBondJamesBond My name is]] [[CharClone J]]! Soldat [[HeelFaceTurn J]]!" |
| 42 | * ''Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya'': Played straight and inverted. |
| 43 | ** ''My name is Haruhi Suzumiya and I'm from east Junior high. I have no interest in ordinary humans! if any of you are aliens, time travelers, sliders or espers, come join me. that is all. |
| 44 | ** She introduces herself to the Computer President ''after'' [[DynamicEntry drop-kicking him.]] Also, she was accepting his challenge instead of delivering one. |
| 45 | * ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'': |
| 46 | ** Polnareff gets in an epic one in [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders Part 3]] when he figures out how to beat J. Geil's Hanged Man [[FightingSpirit Stand]]: |
| 47 | --->''"Hey, Kakyoin. You don't say things like that in this kind of a situation. Listen! [[InvokedTrope In situations like this, you've got to say something more like this before you get your revenge.]] My name is Jean-Pierre Polnareff. For my sister's honor, and so that my friend [[spoiler:Avdol]] can rest in peace... I'm going to hurl you into the depths of despair, J. Geil!"'' |
| 48 | *** Immediately after, Kakyoin gets one as well. |
| 49 | ---->''"[[IronicEcho Polnareff, that's not what you say here. When taking revenge, you shouldn't say, "Why, you...". You say this.]] My name is Noriaki Kakyoin. To avenge my friend, [[spoiler:Avdol]], and so the soul of Polnareff's sister may rest in peace, I will have you pay with your life."'' |
| 50 | ** A lengthy one happens in [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable Part 4]], where [[spoiler:[[ArcVillain Yoshikage Kira]] does one against Shigechi before promptly [[WhyAmITicking blowing him up]]]]. |
| 51 | --->''"[[spoiler:You can call me Yoshikage Kira.]] I'm currently 33 years old...I choose not to concern myself with winning or losing, life's troubles, or enemies who bring sleepless nights. That is how I cope with this backwards life we find ourselves living, it's what brings me happiness in a world fraught with hardship and misery. Of course, if I were ever to engage in combat, I would win the battle without question. In other words, [[spoiler:Shigechi]], you are an irksome troublemaker who stands to hinder my sleep. You, boy, are the enemy...But before you have the chance to utter a word of this to another soul, I shall eradicate you. I can sleep soundly tonight...I can already feel it..."'' |
| 52 | * ''Literature/KonoSuba'': |
| 53 | ** A staple custom of all [[MageSpecies Crimson Demons]], a HumanSubspecies comprised of massive {{Chuunibyou}}s who ''love'' to [[LargeHam ham it up]]. |
| 54 | --->'''[[BlackMage Megumin]]:''' My name is Megumin! My calling is that of an archwizard; one who commands [[StuffBlowingUp Explosion magic]], the strongest of all offensive magic! |
| 55 | ** Kazuma uses his own version when he introduces himself to the Crimson Demons, who are impressed that an outsider properly returns the greeting. |
| 56 | --->'''Kazuma:''' Hey there. I'm called Satou Kazuma. From my home in Axel, [[JackOfAllStats I have mastered countless skills]] and used them to battle the [[DemonKing Devil King's]] generals. |
| 57 | * ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'': |
| 58 | ** ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaAs'': "Time-Space Administration Bureau Part-time mage, Fate Testarossa." She does this right after saving Nanoha and right before attempting to place Vita under arrest. |
| 59 | ** Done again by both parties during ep 12, right before each of them attacks the FinalBoss. |
| 60 | ** In ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaStrikers'', we have this little gem: |
| 61 | --->'''Vita''': Time-Space Administration Bureau's Riot Force Six; Forward Stars' sub-commander, Vita.\ |
| 62 | '''Zest Grangaitz:''' Zest. |
| 63 | * PlayedWith in ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia:'' [[spoiler:rather than give [[KnightTemplar Stain]] the HeroKiller his real name, [[ClassRepresentative Tenya]] announces that [[LegacyCharacter he's Ingenium]]--the Hero Name that his [[CareerEndingInjury crippled brother]] wanted him to take up, but which he had chosen not to use until now]]. |
| 64 | * ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'': "My name is Naruto Uzumaki, and I'm gonna beat every one of ya!" |
| 65 | * ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'' Accompanying a HeroicSecondWind: |
| 66 | -->'''Nodoka:''' I am Miyazaki Nodoka, treasure hunter and member of Ala Alba. [[LetsGetDangerous My counterattack starts here.]] |
| 67 | * ''Manga/OnePiece'': |
| 68 | ** During their first encounter, [[MasterSwordsman Mihawk]] doesn't take Zoro seriously. After he sees that Zoro is determined to defeat him or die trying, he is [[WorthyOpponent impressed enough]] that [[InvokedTrope he asks Zoro to formally introduce himself, so that Mihawk may remember him]]. Indeed, after Mihawk {{curbstomp|Battle}}s Zoro, he returns the gesture two-fold. |
| 69 | --->'''Mihawk:''' It's still too early for you to die. My name is Dracule Mihawk! Learn about yourself! Learn about the world! And become strong! [[WeWillMeetAgain No matter how many years it takes, I will hold this seat of the strongest and wait for you]]. [[DareToBeBadass Surpass this sword! Try to surpass me! Roronoa Zoro!]] |
| 70 | ** Chapter 1000, delivered by Luffy after he's just demonstrated that [[spoiler: [[TookALevelInBadass he can finally]] [[DefeatingTheUndefeatable do harm to Big Mom and Kaido]]]]: |
| 71 | ---> '''Luffy:''' "I'm Monkey D. Luffy. [[BadassBoast I will surpass you...]] and [[ToBeAMaster I will become King of the Pirates]]!!!" |
| 72 | * This happens a lot in ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'', especially during gym battles. |
| 73 | * ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'': I am Ranma Saotome of the [[MartialArtsAndCrafts Saotome School of Anything-Goes Martial Arts]] ([[ItMakesSenseInContext here, hold my bag a sec]]). I [[NobodyCallsMeChicken accept your challenge]]! |

My hobby is to have fun by myself. And to bite weak people to death. And to play with birds." Cue Tsuna lampshading this trope, "He's giving an introduction when nobody asked for one! And it's taking forever." And Hibari finishing his monologue with this: "And to patrol my castle. That's right. I have one last thing to say. I'm not much of a talker. |
| 75 | * ''Anime/RomeoXJuliet'': "I am Juliet Fiamatta Ars Di Capulet!" |
| 76 | * PlayedForLaughs in ''Manga/RurouniKenshin'': |
| 77 | --> "[[IllNeverTellYouWhatImTellingYou I, Misao Makimachi, see no compelling reason to give villains like you my name!]]" |
| 78 | * ''Manga/SakigakeOtokojuku'': '''"[[LargeHam I AM THE PRINCIPAL OF OTOKOJUKU, EDAJIMA HEIHACHI!!]]"''' (That's all he ever says, but awesomeness ensues afterwards). |
| 79 | * ''Literature/ShakuganNoShana'': "I am a Flame Haze, one who swore and chose to protect the balance of the world!" |

| 83 | * ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' |
| 84 | ** The heroes have a MadLibsCatchphrase that precisely announces a 'I AM/WE ARE XXX' shout by whoever it is to kick ass: WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM/WE ARE?!" |
| 85 | ** "The Spiral King Lordgenome's eldest daughter, Nia Teppelin commands you to stand down, Andiane the Elegant! Are you aware of who I am?" Simon and Yoko instantly did a "holy shit!" expression upon hearing it. |
| 86 | ** Two episodes later, Simon's [[HesBack meteoric return]] had him pulling off one: "[[spoiler:My Bro is dead. He's gone. But on my back and in my heart, he continues to live on!]] ''(Guame: "Huuuuh?!")'' [[HotBlooded Drilling to pierce the heavens: even if I'm digging my own grave, as long as I break through, it's my victory!]] ''(Guame: "What? What the hell are you talking about?!")'' Who the hell do you think I am? I'm not my Bro, [[MemeticBadass Kamina]]. I AM ME! SIMON THE DIGGER!!!" Then he proceeds to kick major amounts of ass... |
| 87 | ** Simon continues this in the final showdown with Lordgenome as a PreAssKickingOneLiner: |
| 88 | --->'''Simon:''' My Name is Simon. [[TheLeader Leader]] of Team Dai-Gurren. If you've decided to be a wall that's standing in my way, I've got something that will open a hole in you every time. And that something is MY DRILL! |

| 177 | ** Played straight, however in ''Film/ForAFewDollarsMore'', where Mortimer called out Indio with "Colonel Douglas Mortimer, Indio - does that name mean anything to you!" |
| 178 | * "Film/{{Shaft}}'s his name, Shaft's his game." |
| 179 | * ''Franchise/StarTrek'' |
| 180 | ** In ''Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan'', Khan has a particularly badass one after kicking the crap out of the ''Enterprise'': "I wanted you to know who it was who had beaten you." |
| 181 | ** ''Film/StarTrekIntoDarkness'' |
| 182 | --->"John Harrison was a fiction created the moment I was awoken by your Admiral Marcus to help him advance his cause, a smokescreen to conceal my true identity. [[spoiler:My name is... ''KHAN''.]]" |
| 183 | * "Terry Sugury's my name, but some people call me Film/TheStreetfighter." |
| 184 | * ''Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1990'': "The class is Pain 101. Your instructor is Casey Jones." |
| 185 | * Film/TransformersFilmSeries |
| 186 | ** ''Film/Transformers2007'': To clear up all that "N.B.E.-01"/"Ice Man" nonsense the worthless human insects have been calling him, the leader of the Decepticons announces himself: '''[+[[IncomingHam "I AM MEGATRON!"]]+]''' |
| 187 | ** ''Film/TransformersAgeOfExtinction'' has one as well, when Galvatron reveals his self-awareness and takes control of the KSI Drones: '''[+[[IncomingHam "I AM GALVATRON!"]]+]''' |
| 188 | ** ''Film/TransformersTheLastKnight'' finally gives a heroic example. When Optimus faces Infernocus, he causes him to separate into his separate components, who all charge at him. Optimus swings his sword decapitating them all while delivering his line: "Did you forget who I am? '''I AM OPTIMUS PRIME!'''" |
| 189 | * ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'' "I'm the Juggernaut, [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch bitch!"]] |
| 190 | * ''Film/WonderWoman2017'': "I am Diana of Themyscira. Daughter of Hippolyta. In the name of all that is good, your wrath upon this world is over!" |
| 191 | [[/folder]] |
| 192 | |
| 193 | [[folder:Literature]] |
| 194 | * In ''[[Literature/SixteenThirtyTwo 1634: The Galileo Affair]]'', by Eric Flint and Andrew Dennis, there's a line something like "My name is Ruy Sanchez de Casador y Ortiz. Prepare to die," then subverts the reference's HeroicSecondWind. Our friendly neighborhood old fart proceeds to slaughter and get cut up, while his much-younger girlfriend-from-the-future wonders when he had a chance to read ''Literature/ThePrincessBride'' and another uptimer realizes he '''didn't''' -- he's Inigo Montoya's ''prototype''. |
| 195 | * In ''Literature/AnArmyOfTheDead'', before they fight, Sergeant Alon and Chief Mordan introduce themselves to the other. |
| 196 | * Used to great effect in the ''Literature/CodexAlera'' book ''Captain's Fury,'' when Tavi reveals that he is [[spoiler:Princeps Gaius Octavian]]. Happens to be punctuated by a purely coincidental, plot relevant, volcanic eruption hundreds of miles away. |
| 197 | * Original Literature/ConanTheBarbarian loved this. Best known example is probably in ''The Frost Giant's Daughter'', where Conan and his opponent ''exchange'' this. |
| 198 | -->"Man," said he, "tell me your name, so that my brothers in [[ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming Vanaheim]] may know who was the last of Wulfhere's band to fall before the sword of Heimdul."\ |
| 199 | "Not in Vanaheim," growled the black-haired warrior, "[[BadassBoast but in Valhalla]] will you tell your brothers that you met Conan of Cimmeria." |
| 200 | * Played with in the ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' novel ''Literature/ThiefOfTime'', where it's done in third-person after a "[[BlatantLies lowly]]" [[AlmightyJanitor janitor]] dares to enter the dojo an ArrogantKungFuGuy inhabits. |
| 201 | -->'''OldMaster:''' Hold! Do you not want to know the name of the man you are about to destroy?\ |
| 202 | '''ArrogantKungFuGuy:''' I don’t need to know the name of a sweeper.\ |
| 203 | '''OldMaster:''' [[NiceToTheWaiter It is always wise to know the name of a sweeper, boy.]] And my question was not addressed to you. |
| 204 | * ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'': |
| 205 | -->'''Harry:''' My name is Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden. [[BadassBoast Conjure by it at your own risk.]] |
| 206 | * At the climax of ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheChamberOfSecrets'', Tom Riddle demands to know how the barely-a-year-old Harry was able to defeat [[BigBad Lord Voldemort]], to which Harry retorts that Voldemort was decades after Riddle's time. Riddle then [[spoiler: writes out his full name ("TOM MARVOLO RIDDLE"), before revealing it's an [[SignificantAnagram anagram]] of "I AM LORD VOLDEMORT".]] |
| 207 | * In book four of ''Literature/JourneyToChaos'', Annala makes this declaration to her latest opponent, who thinks they are about to fight "Annala Enaz", the schoolgirl and novice cleric. She corrects their misconception while also making a BadassBoast. |
| 208 | --> “I am a veteran cleric in the service of Lady Chaos. For five years, I have wandered the Veins of Noitearc, and I have never met my equal. I have killed monsters, demons, and fiends. Reapers avoid my path and sowers seek my aid. The power of ordercraft fades in my presence. I am ''Priestess'' and I will not let you pass.” |
| 209 | * ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings:'' |
| 210 | -->'''Strider:''' I am Aragorn son of Arathorn, and I am called Elessar, the Elfstone, Dunadan, the heir of Isildur Elendil's son of Gondor. Here is [[CoolSword the Sword that was Broken]] and is [[ReforgedBlade forged again]]! Will you aid me or thwart me? Choose swiftly! |
| 211 | * Averted in Creator/CordwainerSmith's "On the Sand Planet", where Casher O'Neill, after gaining enlightenment on his quest, does NOT use any of the scenes he has mentally rehearsed for years. |
| 212 | * Inverted in ''Literature/{{Paladin of Souls}}'' when Ista and Joen name each other. |
| 213 | -->'''Joen:''' Welcome to my gates, Ista dy Chalion. I am the Mother of Jokona.\ |
| 214 | '''Ista:''' Welcome to mine, Joen of Jokona. I am the Mouth of Hell. |
| 215 | * In ''Literature/ThePrincessBride'' all the way through the book Inigo has been practicing his speech. After a huge buildup, when he finally gets to deliver it in the climax to his lifelong search, honing his sword skills for the battle of his life, his enemy runs away like a little girl. Of course, Inigo then chased Rugen down, and then repeated the speech several times with increasing volume as they dueled. |
| 216 | * ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'': |
| 217 | ** In what George R. R. Martin admits is a homage to [[Film/ThePrincessBride Inigo Montoya]], ''Literature/AStormOfSwords'' has [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Oberyn]] [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge Martell]] doing this when he manages to arrange a duel with [[WorldsStrongestMan Gregor Clegane]], who 15 years earlier raped and murdered his sister and her infant son. |
| 218 | --->'''Oberyn:''' Have they told you who I am?\ |
| 219 | '''Gregor:''' Some dead man.\ |
| 220 | '''Oberyn:''' I am Oberyn Martell, a prince of Dorne. Elia was my sister.\ |
| 221 | '''Gregor:''' [[ButForMeItWasTuesday Who?]]\ |
| 222 | '''Oberyn:''' Elia of Dorne. [[YouKilledMyFather You raped her. You murdered her. You killed her children]]. |
| 223 | ** To which Gregor, after a few repetitions of the phrase, shouts, "Be quiet. Shut your bloody mouth!" - in other words, "StopSayingThat" |
| 224 | ** Also deconstructed. [[spoiler:Oberyn had very nearly won and could have killed Gregor, but he stopped to get a murder confession. This gave Gregor the opportunity to kill him]]. |
| 225 | ** Inverted in ''Literature/ADanceWithDragons'', after [[spoiler:Theon Greyjoy saves Jeyne Pool from Ramsay Bolton and gets both of them to reach Stannis's army safe and sound]]. |
| 226 | --->[[spoiler: '''Theon''']]: You have to know your ''name''. |
| 227 | * The incuels in ''Literature/ToughMagic'' have the combatants announcing their names to each other while bowing, in more formal use of this trope. |
| 228 | * In volume 5 of ''Literature/TheUnexploredSummonBloodSign'', the White Queen demonstrates to her [[spoiler:(and Kyousuke's)]] attackers that ItsPersonal by telling them her name -- her ''true'' name, not her title -- before she annihilates them. In other, more orthodox battles that she [[SummonMagic does not enter by choice]], she lets people call her by title. |
| 229 | [[/folder]] |
| 230 | |
| 231 | [[folder:Live-Action TV]] |
| 232 | * In ''Series/{{Andromeda}}'''s "Music of a Distant Drum", a season one episode. Tyr loses his memory after a crash and slowly regains it bit by bit. When he finally remembers: |
| 233 | -->'''Tyr:''' [[PunctuatedForEmphasis I AM TYR. ANASAZI.]] [[LargeHam Of Kodiak pride!]] [[IamXSonOfY Out of Victoria by Barbarossa!]] And I! Will Never! Surrender! |
| 234 | * ''Series/BabylonFive'' |
| 235 | -->"Who am I? I am Susan Ivanova. Commander. Daughter of Andrei and Sophie Ivanov. I am the right hand of vengeance, and the boot that is going to kick your sorry ass all the way back to Earth, sweetheart! I am Death Incarnate and the last living thing that you are ever going to see. God sent me." |
| 236 | * Mitchell from ''Series/{{Being Human|UK}}'' uses a non-violent version of the same style of a threat to get a room full of Vampires to shut up and listen to him. |
| 237 | -->My name is John Mitchell! And I've killed more people than you've met. |
| 238 | * ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'': Season 9, episode 5 "The Perspiration Implementation" has Raj and Howard quote the line word-for-word to each other while being taught fencing by Barry Kripke. |
| 239 | ** Also features some pretty intense flynning from the main characters the moment Kripke's back is turned. |
| 240 | * ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'': |
| 241 | -->'''Demon Guard:''' You work, and you live. That is all. You do not complain or laugh or do anything besides work. Whatever you thought, whatever you were does not matter. You are no one now. You mean nothing. (to boy) Who are you?\ |
| 242 | '''ActionGirl:''' (perky) I'm Buffy. The Vampire Slayer. And you are...? ''(TalkToTheFist ensues)'' |
| 243 | * ''Series/TheDefenders2017'': Elektra, when she abruptly kills Alexandra and seizes control of the Hand. |
| 244 | -->'''Elektra Natchios:''' ...and my name is Elektra Natchios. [[TyrantTakesTheHelm You work for me now]]. ''[with a swift stroke of her katana, Elektra decapitates Alexandra's body]'' Any questions? |
| 245 | * ''Series/DoctorWho'': The Doctor himself has done this on many occasions, especially post-Time War when he is the only living Time Lord. Some examples: |
| 246 | ** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E9ForestOfTheDead "Forest of the Dead"]]: |
| 247 | --->'''The Doctor:''' I'm the Doctor, and you're in the biggest library in the universe... look me up. |
| 248 | ** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E1TheEleventhHour "The Eleventh Hour"]]: |
| 249 | --->'''The Doctor:''' Is this world protected? 'Cause you're not the first one to have come here — oh, there have been so many. And what you've got to ask is: what happened to them?... JustForFun/{{Hello}}. I'm the Doctor. [[PrepareToDie Basically... Run.]] |
| 250 | ** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E13TheBigBang "The Big Bang"]]: |
| 251 | --->'''River:''' I'm River Song. Check your records again. |
| 252 | ** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS37E1TheWomanWhoFellToEarth "The Woman Who Fell to Earth"]]: |
| 253 | --->'''The Doctor:''' I'm the Doctor. Sorting out fair play throughout the universe. Now, please, get off this planet — while you still have a choice. |
| 254 | * ''Series/GameOfThrones'': After Arya kills the Waif and shows her removed face to Jaqen, the following exchange happens as she leaves the Faceless Men for good. |
| 255 | -->'''Jaqen:''' Finally... a girl has become no one.\ |
| 256 | '''Arya:''' A girl is Arya Stark of Winterfell. And I'm going home. |
| 257 | * ''Series/{{Highlander}}'': |
| 258 | -->'''Duncan:''' I am Duncan [=McLeod=], of the Clan [=McLeod=]. |
| 259 | ** Parodied by his friend Hugh "Fitz" Fitzcairn. |
| 260 | -->'''Fitz:''' I am Hugh Fitzcairn, of the neither here not there. |
| 261 | * PlayedForLaughs in ''Series/HowIMetYourMother''; in a flashback, Ted and Marshall quote ''Film/ThePrincessBride'' while swordfighting in the apartment. Then another flashback shows a similar sword fight between Robin and Lily, where Lily [[{{Mondegreen}} gets the quote completely wrong.]] |
| 262 | -->'''Lily:''' My name is Regina Sequoia. You killed someone I love. Prepare to dance! ''(film stops)'' |
| 263 | -->'''Future Ted:''' [[LemonyNarrator Yes, kids. That's what your aunt Lily thought the line was.]] |
| 264 | * ''Franchise/KamenRider'': |
| 265 | ** "I'm Series/KamenRiderDrive. And I'm taking you for a ride!" |
| 266 | ** "[[Series/KamenRiderZeroOne Zero-One]], that's my name!" |
| 267 | * ''Series/{{Lost}}'': Season 5, episode 12, Ben Linus upon approaching Penny Widmore: "Hello. My name is Benjamin Linus". He wasn't prepared to duel her, though; He was about to kill her when Desmond, whom he just tried to neutralize by shooting him, attacked him from behind. |
| 268 | * The way that D'Artagnan introduces himself to Athos in the 2014 BBC version ''Series/TheMusketeers'' so closely mimics Inigo Montoya that it's virtually a ShoutOut to fans of ''Film/ThePrincessBride'', but [[spoiler: this is actually a subversion of the YouKilledMyFather trope since Athos has been framed and later D'Artagnan will work with Aramis and Porthos to prove his innocence, naturally becoming FireForgedFriends in the process.]] |
| 269 | -->'''D'Artagnan''': I'm looking for Athos.\ |
| 270 | '''Athos''': You've found him.\ |
| 271 | '''D'Artagnan''': My name is D'Artagnan of Lupiac in Gascony. Prepare to fight. One of us dies here.\ |
| 272 | '''Aramis''': ''(ironically)'' [[LampshadeHanging Now that's the way to make an entrance]].\ |
| 273 | '''Athos''': Can I ask why?\ |
| 274 | '''D'Artagnan''': You murdered my father.\ |
| 275 | '''Athos''': You're mistaken. I'm not the man you're looking for.\ |
| 276 | '''D'Artagnan''': ''(charging with his sword drawn)'' MURDERER!!! |
| 277 | * ''Series/{{NCIS}}'' Season 7, episode 1 does this with a slight twist. Towards the end, after [=McGee=] tries and fails to kill Saleem, Tony says to Saleem, "I told you about every member of the team, except myself. The part I play... I'm the wild card. I'm the guy who looks at the reality in front of him and refuses to accept it." (Technically Tony tells Saleem his name much earlier, but this is the point where he really tells Saleem WHO he is, and right before Saleem is killed.) |
| 278 | ** Done as straight as an arrow in season 8, episode 23 with Mike Franks' last stand. |
| 279 | --->'''Franks''': My name is Mike Franks! I figure I got one more fight in me... You want it? |
| 280 | * ''Series/{{Nikita}}'': Alex does this to Vlad, the man who [[spoiler: sold her into white-slavery]]. |
| 281 | -->'''Alex:''' I am Alexandra Udinov, daughter of Nicholai Udinov. And this is your reward. |
| 282 | * ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'' does this in Season 7's "Finale", where Dr. Cox is telling a Bedtime story to his son. Cox, as a brave knight, says to a monster (in reality an illness affecting a patient): |
| 283 | -->'''Cox:''' My name is Percival Cox. You're killing my friend. Prepare to die. |
| 284 | * ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}'': In the episode where George does the opposite of what he normally does, he meets an attractive woman. Since George normally gives fake identities when meeting people, he ends up doing this. [[spoiler: It actually works]] |
| 285 | -->'''George:''' Hi, my name is George. I'm unemployed and I live with my parents. |
| 286 | * ''Series/{{Skins}}'' does this in series four. |
| 287 | -->'''Katie:''' I'm Katie fucking Fitch, who the fuck are you? |
| 288 | * ''Series/{{Smallville}}'' |
| 289 | -->'''Clark:''' My name is Clark Kent. |
| 290 | ** And also... |
| 291 | --->'''Clark, "reprogrammed" by Jor-El''': I am Kal-El from Krypton. |
| 292 | ** A chilling example from "Harvest": "My name is [[spoiler:Lex]]." |
| 293 | * ''Series/TheStrain'' has this from Setrakian, right before he [[OffWithHisHead ends]] his FinalBattle with [[TheDragon Eichhorst]]: |
| 294 | -->"My name is Abraham Setrakian. [[PreMortemOneLiner And I am not a number anymore.]]" |
| 295 | [[/folder]] |
| 296 | |
| 297 | [[folder:Music]] |
| 298 | * Music/JohnnyCash as the title character singing "A Boy Named Sue" when he finally tracks down his father, who gave him the name that caused his life to be an endless series of fights: "My name is Sue! [[JustForFun/{{Hello}} How do you do]]?! ''[[PrepareToDie Now you gonna die]]!"'' |
| 299 | ** Also, Johnny Cash at the start of every show he ever did: |
| 300 | --->"Hello. I'm Johnny Cash." |
| 301 | * In The Distillers' "The Young Crazed Peeling", one of the lines in the first verse of the song goes like this: |
| 302 | -->My name is Brody, I'm from Melbourne\ |
| 303 | Fitzroy Melbourne, Fitzroy Melbourne\ |
| 304 | I grew up on Bell St. then on Bennett St.\ |
| 305 | My mom kicked out my dad for battery |
| 306 | * In Music/{{Gloryhammer}}'s third album, the Hootsman does this just before annihilating [[EvilSorcerer Zargothrax]]. |
| 307 | -->'''Hoots:''' Alright Zargothrax, your evil reign of terror ends today! My name is the Hootsman, and I am the one and only true god of this universe! It is time for you to taste the power of Hoots!\ |

| 309 | |
| 310 | [[folder:Myths & Religion]] |
| 311 | * In ''Literature/TheOdyssey'', Odysseus just kicked the butt out of a Cyclops, Polyphemos. As he leaves he [[SarcasmMode brilliantly]] declares "Kyklops,/if ever mortal man inquire/how you were put to shame and blinded, tell him/Odysseus, raider of cities, took your eye:/Laertes' son, whose home's on Ithaka!" He may as well have given him the precise longitude and latitude of his house, and just thrown in his social security number, too. |
| 312 | ** Protip: if you live in Greece's "Age of Heroes" and you're already well acquainted with several mean-tempered gods, wounding the son of Poseidon is [[GenreBlind almost as dumb]] as killing Inigo Montoya's dad. |
| 313 | [[/folder]] |
| 314 | |
| 315 | [[folder:Podcasts]] |
| 316 | * Throughout Season 2 of "Podcast/WereSoBadAtAdventuring", Sevva often interrupts Thornwick and Bob to announce herself, recite her lineage (going back more generations in every encounter), remind whomever the heroes are talking to about how they were involved in the destruction of her village, and get her revenge. |
| 317 | --> "I am Sevva, Daughter of Venna, who was son to Hevva, who was sired by Evva, who was son to Revva, *phew*, and whose grandfather was Grevva, who was the first-born of my family's patriarch, Lord Stabyoureyes...

| 325 | |
| 326 | [[folder:Pro Wrestling]] |
| 327 | * Saying hello and introducing himself was the gimmick of Wrestling/DolphZiggler in WWE up until he met Wrestling/VinceMcMahon, who wanted to know who he was but Dolph was too flabbergasted to answer. |
| 328 | * Wrestling/{{Boogeyman}} wants you to know who he is and that he's coming to get you. |
| 329 | * "[[IncomingHam MY NAME IS]] [[Wrestling/AlbertoDelRio ALBERTO DEL RIO]]!!!!!!! But you, you already know that!" |
| 330 | * "Do you wanna know...who I am? I am...Wrestling/ShinsukeNakamura!" |

| 332 | * (Adjusts bow tie): "My name is Wrestling/JuanFranciscoDeCoronado." |
| 333 | * '''[[NoIndoorVoice "I'M]]''' '''[[Wrestling/BillAlfonso BILL ALFONSO]]''', '''[[NoIndoorVoice AND I'M THE SENIOR OFFICIAL HERE IN ECW!"]]''' |

| 339 | * Hakumen from ''Franchise/BlazBlue'' does this all the time. |
| 340 | -->'''Hakumen:''' I am the white void. I am the cold steel. I am the just sword. With blade in hand shall I reap the sins of this world, and cleanse it in the fires of destruction. I am Hakumen! ''The end has come!'' |
| 341 | * Used by Viktor Reznov in ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOps'' during the Rebirth Island Mission when you break into Friedrich Steiner's Lab. [[spoiler:[[TheReveal Only]], [[TomatoInTheMirror it's not Reznov who said it]], [[BrainwashedAndCrazy but Mason]].]] |
| 342 | -->'''Reznov: '''My name is Viktor Reznov. AND I WILL HAVE. MY. REVENGE!!'' |

| 344 | * in ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'', [[BewareTheNiceOnes Siegmeyer of Catarina]] shows his badass side this way when he decided to help you to defeat the Chaos Demons. |
| 345 | --> I'm Siegmeyer of Catarina, AND YOU SHALL FEEL MY WRATH! |

| 347 | -->'''Sir Ano:''' My name is Sir Ano de Berg'rac. You're planning to kidnap my princess. Prepare to die. |
| 348 | * "I'm VideoGame/DukeNukem, and I'm coming to get the rest of you alien bastards!" |
| 349 | * ''VideoGame/DwarfFortress'' does this in Adventure Mode with anyone you can talk to, especially the ones you've been sent to kill. Speeches typically have their name, relation to other historical figures, kill list, and then the obligatory "prepare to die" if they're trying to kill you. |
| 350 | * ''VideoGame/EldenRing'': |
| 351 | ** Margit the Omen first meets the Tarnished at the entrance to Stormveil Castle, where he makes no attempt to hide his contempt. |
| 352 | --->''"Foul Tarnished, in search of the Elden Ring. [[AmbitionIsEvil Emboldened by the flame of ambition]]. Someone must extinguish thy flame. Let it be Margit the Fell!"'' |
| 353 | ** He meets you again once you reach the foot of the Erdtree, where his attitude has changed very little. Only this time he reveals his real name: |

| 355 | ** Malenia the Severed begins her boss battle with a cross between this and a BadassBoast: |
| 356 | --->''"...Heed my words. I am Malenia. Blade of Miquella. [[PreAsskickingOneLiner And I have never known defeat.]]"'' |
| 357 | ** Godfrey is no slouch in this field, either. |
| 358 | *** He first greets the Tarnished by acknowledging them as a warrior and addressing them with respect, before introducing himself with enough gravitas to let you know the coming fight won't be an easy one. |
| 359 | ---->''"Long and hard didst thou fight. Tarnished Warrior. Spurned by the grace of gold. Be assured, the Elden Ring resteth close at hand. Alas, I am returned. To be granted audience once more. Upon my name as [[WorldsBestWarrior Godfrey, the First Elden Lord]]!"'' |

| 364 | * ''Franchise/FireEmblem:'' |
| 365 | ** In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemPathOfRadiance'' and its sequel ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemRadiantDawn Radiant Dawn]]'', we get KIERAN, LEADER OF THE FIFTH PLATOON OF THE CRIMEAN ROYAL KNIGHTS! / SECOND COMMANDER OF THE CRIMEAN ROYAL KNIGHTS!. |

| 368 | * ''VideoGame/{{Gruntz}}'': when a grunt carries a sword and is forced to walk around non-stop for longer periods of time, you can hear him saying this: "My name is Grunt Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die!" |
| 369 | * Ajna from ''VideoGame/{{Indivisible}}'' typically introduces herself as "[[IAmXSonOfY Ajna, daughter of Indr, of the village Ashwat]]" in much the same way a person in the modern world would give their full name. Usually just a formal greeting, but when spoken to those responsible for [[YouKilledMyFather Indr's death]] and [[DoomedHometown Ashwat's destruction]], it is delivered as a promise of retribution [[RevengeBeforeReason at any price]]. |
| 370 | * ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep'': "My name is Master Aqua. ''[[BadassBoast Now return my friend's heart or pay the price!]]''" |
| 371 | * ''Franchise/MassEffect'' has countless great moments, but one in particular is in the third game when Wrex leads the Krogans to take back the nuclear wastelands of their DeathWorld Tuchanka from the [[EldritchAbomination Reapers]], just after [[spoiler:they got a cure for the [[DyingRace disease that drove them to the brink of extinction]]]]: |

| 373 | * In ''VideoGame/MortalKombatX'', between the events of this game and ''VideoGame/MortalKombat9'', [[Characters/MortalKombatHanzoHasashi Scorpion]] is able to [[BackFromTheDead come back to life]] from his [[NotQuiteDead revenant form]] now as Hanzo Hasashi, and eventually learns that the [[EvilSorcerer sorcerer]] and keeper of the [[{{Hell}} Netherrealm]], [[ManipulativeBastard Quan Chi]], had orchestrated [[spoiler:the first death of Hanzo's clan, the Shirai Ryu, sometime during the ninja's first death]], and not the Lin Kuei as he once had learned by the demon. Once Hanzo is able to corner him on Earthrealm, Quan Chi [[BerserkButton makes the mistake of]] [[ThatManIsDead calling Hanzo "Scorpion"]], leading him to deliver a tragic speech before delivering a beatdown to the sorcerer, [[spoiler:and before killing him]]. |
| 374 | -->''"My name is Hanzo Hasashi! [[spoiler:[[YouKilledMyFather You killed my wife! My son!]] And then you [[{{Brainwashed}} burrowed your way into my head.]] [[DisproportionateRetribution Misdirected my vengeance.]] '''[[DeaderThanDead Costed me my one chance to have them restored!]]''']]"'' |
| 375 | * Jacqui Briggs does the full routine with Sindel in ''VideoGame/MortalKombat11''. |
| 376 | -->'''Jacqui''': My name is Jacqueline Briggs.\ |
| 377 | '''Sindel''': ''([[EvilLaugh laughs]])'' [[YouKilledMyFather I killed your father.]]\ |
| 378 | '''Jacqui''': {{Prepare to die}}... |
| 379 | * In ''VideoGame/PathOfExile'', when [[KnightTemplar High Templar Avarius]] is killed, [[HolierThanThou Innocence, God-Emperor of Eternity]] appears above the body and introduce himself : "I am order, I am the new and the eternal. I am Innocence." He then does his very best to smite the player. |
| 380 | * ''VideoGame/SamuraiShodown: Warriors Rage'' has Hanzo Hattori the 2nd introduce himself this way: |
| 381 | -->''"My name is Hanzo Hattori. [[InTheNameOfTheMoon In the name of the shadow]], I will destroy all."'' |
| 382 | * ''VideoGame/TheSecretOfMonkeyIsland'' has "My name is Guybrush Threepwood! Prepare to die!" |
| 383 | * From ''VideoGame/SekiroShadowsDieTwice'' we have Gyoubu Masataka Oniwa, the first proper boss fight of the game who charges into the arena at the Ashina Castle gates bellowing out his name to Wolf. Justified since he IS a samurai in service to Lord Isshin Ashina. His bellowing out his name made him a [[EnsembleDarkHorse fan favorite]], however. |
| 384 | -->'''Gyoubu:''' [[SuddenlyShouting MY NAAAAME]]!! [[NoIndoorVoice IS GYOUBU MASATAKA ONIWAAAAA]]!!!! [[BadassBoast AS I BREATHE]], [[YouShallNotPass YOU WILL NOT PASS THE CASTLE GATE]]!!! |
| 385 | * ''VideoGame/ShadowsOfTheDamned'' brings us: "My name is Garcia Hotspur, hunter of demons, my wrath is your hell!" |
| 386 | * ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'': |
| 387 | ** In ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure2'', [[AntiHero Shadow]] has a line like this in pretty much every ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog''-game. |
| 388 | --->''My name is Shadow the Hedgehog. I am this world's UltimateLifeform. There's no time for games, farewell!'' |
| 389 | ** In the Japanese version, Sonic says this after defeating Shadow for the first time: |
| 390 | --->''My name is Sonic. You better remember it!'' |
| 391 | ** ''VideoGame/SonicAndTheBlackKnight'' has this before the final boss: |
| 392 | --->''I'm Sonic the Hedgehog, [[BlowYouAway Knight of the Wind.]] Let's settle things once and for all, King Arthur!'' |
| 393 | ** There is also Sonic's famous line from ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl'': |
| 394 | --->''Sonic's the name, [[SuperSpeed speed's my game!]]'' |
| 395 | * [[BigBad Wart]] in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros2'': |
| 396 | -->''"I am the great Wart, ha ha ha!"'' |
| 397 | * In ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'', anyone who's about to be on the receiving end of Sanger's BFS will at least get to know that "I am Sanger Zonvolt, the sword that cleaves evil!" Wodan Ymir does pretty much the same thing. |
| 398 | * ''VideoGame/VampireTheMasqueradeBloodlines'': HunterOfMonsters Yukie Ōgami combines this with GratuitousJapanese when she confronts the [[spoiler:wereshark]] that killed her master: |
| 399 | -->''"Ōgami Yukie desu. [[PrepareToDie I return you to Hell]]."'' |
| 400 | * ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'': |
| 401 | ** The Thunder King Lei Shen lets you know exactly what you're dealing with if you attack him: |
| 402 | --->''"I am Lei Shen, slayer of kings and gods. You have made a grave mistake."'' |
| 403 | ** After dismissing the trifling gnome that summoned him, this member of Burning Legion aptly introduced himself before going to attack the players: |
| 404 | --->''"[[LargeHam YOU FACE JARAXXUS]], '''[[NoIndoorVoice EREDAR LORD OF THE BURNING LEGION!!!]]'''"'' |
| 405 | *** The same quote is used in ''VideoGame/HearthstoneHeroesOfWarcraft'' when you play his card and then have him replace the player character for the game. |
| 406 | * From ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles1'', [[MemeticBadass Dunban]] sometimes says the following in battle: |
| 407 | -->'''Dunban:''' I am Dunban! Attack me, if you dare! |
| 408 | [[/folder]] |
| 409 | |
| 410 | [[folder:Visual Novels]] |
| 411 | * Assassin in ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' introduces himself formally on initiating a duel, though he doesn't insist Saber identify herself. |
| 412 | * Inverted in ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry'' Episode 6; when Erika delivers her dramatic introduction to [[AwesomeMusic/WhenTheyCry Crowning Music]], the battle is already over, she's lost badly and is prepared to die. She uses a similar line as a straight example for an intro in ''Ougon Musou''. |
| 413 | [[/folder]] |
| 414 | |
| 415 | [[folder:Web Animation]] |
| 416 | * WebAnimation/PainisCupcake introduces himself with "I am Painis Cupcake. [[IAmAHumanitarian I will eat YOU!]]" |
| 417 | * ''[[WebAnimation/RedVsBlueTheRecollection Red vs. Blue: Recreation]]'' finale: "I am NOT a thing! [[HesBack My name is Leonard Church]], and YOU WILL FEAR MY LASER-FACE!! |

| 419 | [[/folder]] |
| 420 | |
| 421 | [[folder:Web Comics]] |
| 422 | * ''Webcomic/BobAndGeorge'' "[[http://www.bobandgeorge.com/archives/040914c My name is Mega Man! You killed my dog! Prepare to die!]]" |
| 423 | * ''Webcomic/{{Drowtales}}'' has [[RichBitch Yami'ni]] [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=8577 pull this]] after breaking through some {{brainwashing}} by [[{{Determinator}} sheer willpower]]. [[spoiler:Unfortunately for her, her treacherous cousin was right behind her and stabbed her InTheBack]]. |
| 424 | ** In a later chapter Lulianne does this immediately before turning her sword on [[spoiler:herself, having realized that she's been possessed by [[FaceStealer Khaless]] and not wanting to be forced to kill her own clanmate]], making the saying of her name extra potent. |
| 425 | * ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'': |
| 426 | ** [[OverlordJr Gil]] attempts to [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20071121 repel an invasion by declaring his name]]. It doesn't work, of course, but he [[CrazyPrepared already]] expected [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20071126 that]]. |
| 427 | --->"I am ''Gilgamesh'' Wulfenbach, son of [[EvilOverlord Klaus]]. I will say this only ''[[LastSecondChance once]]'': ''leave now'', or you will ''[[PrepareToDie die]]''." |
| 428 | ** Later, as part of the "Lovers' Spat" during the Siege of Mechanicsburg, Gil is trying to "rescue" Agatha from the siege, but she reminds him: "I do not need rescuing! [[BadassBoast I AM THE HETERODYNE]]!" |
| 429 | * ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'': After [[spoiler:Brain Ghost Dirk becomes real]], he paraphrases the [[TropeNamers Trope Namer]] to challenge [[spoiler:Aranea]]: |
| 430 | -->[[spoiler:DIRK]]: I am [[spoiler:Brain Ghost Dirk]].\ |
| 431 | [[spoiler:DIRK]]: You kissed my boyfriend.\ |
| 432 | [[spoiler:DIRK]]: Prepare to die. |
| 433 | ** What makes this so perfect is that since he's basically [[spoiler: Jake's idealized belief in Dirk]], it makes complete sense for him to be quoting an old film. |
| 434 | * Played with straight in this [[http://www.lastres0rt.com/2009/05/well-whatdya-know-hes-got-a-spine-after-all/comment-page-1/#comment-584 this]] page of ''Webcomic/LastRes0rt''. |
| 435 | * Yokyok in [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0348.html this strip]] of ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'', parodying the [[TropeNamers Trope Namer]]. |
| 436 | ** Roy also does it in [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0110.html this]] strip, resulting in ButForMeItWasTuesday. |
| 437 | * [[Webcomic/QuestionableContent My name is Hannelore Ellicott-Chatham]]. '''[[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1416 I end messes.]]''' |

| 439 | --> "From the Royal Enforcement Division, no. 67, my name is Ren. I am your nemesis.'' |

| 441 | [[/folder]] |
| 442 | |
| 443 | [[folder:Web Original]] |
| 444 | * The GEKICOM Elementals and the STRUQ Team in ''Literature/IlivaisX'' do this like it's required by law. They're all {{Large Ham}}s anyway. En Arteya did as well, and technically Ashe too. Justified in that otherwise, we'd have no idea who they are, due to their MonsterOfTheWeek nature. |
| 445 | [[/folder]] |
| 446 | |
| 447 | [[folder:Web Videos]] |
| 448 | * Aeofel does this constantly in ''WebVideo/AcquisitionsIncorporated'' when he swears Oath of Eminity. Which he does ''a lot''. |
| 449 | * Quite a few characters in ''WebVideo/EpicRapBattlesOfHistory'': |
| 450 | -->"My name's [[Music/LudwigVanBeethoven Beethoven]], Motherfucker, maybe you've heard of me?!"\ |
| 451 | "You can call me [[UsefulNotes/NikolaTesla Tesla, Nikola,]] impeccably dressed..."\ |
| 452 | "My name is Music/{{Skrillex}}, man! Welcome to the Devil's Den!"\ |
| 453 | "I am [[Franchise/{{Terminator}} T-800 Cyberdyne Systems Model 101]], and I'll be sweeping up your robo-bits like paperclips when I'm done!"\ |
| 454 | "'Cause I'm [[UsefulNotes/FriedrichNietzsche N-I-E-T Z-S-C-H-E]], and I'll end any motherfucker like my name in a spelling bee!"\ |
| 455 | "[[UsefulNotes/HillaryRodhamClinton First name is Hillary, middle name Rodham, last name is Clinton]], and lyrics, I got 'em."\ |
| 456 | "Here we go, it's Creator/GeorgeCarlin, I'm a mad dog snarlin'..."\ |
| 457 | "[[IncomingHam I AM]] [[UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler ADOLF HITLER]], Commander of the Third Reich! Little known fact: also dope on the mic!" |
| 458 | * WebVideo/FreshyKanal's rap battles offer a few examples of openers where the character introduces themselves: |
| 459 | -->Greetings and salutations, name's [[Film/{{Heathers}} Jason Dean]] and I'm out of patience...\ |
| 460 | Welcome to your final test, I'm WebVideo/MrBeast...\ |
| 461 | I'm [[Characters/BatmanTheScarecrow Dr. Crane]], and I'll be at your service...\ |
| 462 | I'm Franchise/{{Paddington}}, pardon my manners, or rather the lack of them...\ |
| 463 | Uh, m-my name's [[Series/MrBean Bean]]... |
| 464 | * A running gag in ''WebVideo/SuburbanKnights'', features [[WebVideo/TheAngryJoeShow Angry Joe]], dressed as Inigo Montoya and repeatedly getting the line wrong. |
| 465 | -->'''Joe:''' MY NAME IS INIGO MONTOYA, [[PrecisionFStrike MOTHERFUCKER!]]\ |
| 466 | '''Joe:''' Allo. My name is Amigo Toyota. ''[everyone sighs]'' Whatever! YouKilledMyFather, PrepareToDie! |
| 467 | [[/folder]] |
| 468 | |
| 469 | [[folder:Western Animation]] |
| 470 | * ''WesternAnimation/AttackOfTheKillerTomatoes'' Even Wilbur Finletter pulled this trope in one episode! |
| 471 | -->'''Wilbur Finletter:''' I am Wilbur Finletter. You killed my business. Prepare to die! |
| 472 | * ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'': |
| 473 | ** In [[Characters/AvatarTheLastAirbenderZuko Prince Zuko's]] climactic duel in his [[TheWildWest Wild West parody]] [[ADayInTheLimelight day in the limelight]], his HeroicSecondWind comes with a "My name is Zuko..." speech. |
| 474 | ** Also [[Characters/AvatarTheLastAirbenderKatara Katara]] in "The Southern Raiders", Katara asks the man who killed her mother if he knows who she is, and asserts that he "better remember, like [his] life depends on it". |
| 475 | * ''WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce'': Said by [[spoiler: Kevin]]. "My name is [[spoiler: Kevin Ethan Levin.]] You killed my father. Prepare to die." Too bad [[spoiler: [[CurbStompBattle it didn't work.]] [[TheWorfEffect As usual]]. Though Kevin ''does'' eventually manage to kill the guy at the end of the episode.]] |
| 476 | ** WordOfGod says that Kevin's mom actually read ''The Princess Bride'' to him when he was little. |
| 477 | * ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'': Danny delivers one to Paulina while she is (unknowingly) under the effects of one of the two Amulets of Aragon. It doesn't go as planned... |
| 478 | --> '''Danny:''' Hi! I'm Danny Phantom, and you are? ''[Paulina swats Danny through the window; Danny sits up a bit dizzy]'' Testy, got it. |
| 479 | * In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' episode "Silence of the Clamps", [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg Zoidberg]] of all people gets a pretty spectacular one: |
| 480 | -->'''Zoidberg:''' My name isn't Slick. It's Zoidberg. JOHN [[PrecisionFStrike F]][[SoundEffectBleep *]][[PrecisionFStrike CKING]] ZOIDBERG!!! |
| 481 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'' opens with a scene from ''[[ShowWithInAShow The Good Witch Azura]]'' where the title character is shown delivering one of these to a monster before blasting it into oblivion. [[Characters/TheOwlHouseLuzNoceda Luz Noceda]], being a big fan of the ''Azura'' books, quotes the line several times over the course of the series, [[spoiler:with her even [[MeaningfulEcho using an extended version]] as a PreMortemOneLiner in the GrandFinale.]] |
| 482 | -->'''Azura:''' Do not underestimate me, Gildersnake, for I am the Good Witch Azura, warrior of peace! [{{Beat}}] [[SophisticatedAsHell NOW EAT THIS, SUCKA!]]\ |
| 483 | '''Luz:''' [[spoiler:Do not underestimate me, [[BigBad Belos]], for I am the Good Witch Luz! [[ChildOfTwoWorlds Child of the human realm, student of the demon realm]], and warrior of peace! ''NOW EAT THIS, SUCKA!'']] |
| 484 | * In the ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' episode "[[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E25MirrorGem Mirror Gem]]", [[Characters/StevenUniverseLapisLazuli Lapis Lazuli]] does it when she faces off against the Crystal Gems. |
| 485 | -->'''Lapis Lazuli:''' I'm Lapis Lazuli, and you can't keep me trapped here anymore! |
| 486 | * ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'' Final episode "Endgame, Part II": |
| 487 | -->'''Megatron:''' You're a persistent little Autobot.\ |
| 488 | '''Optimus:''' My name is ''OPTIMUS PRIME''! |
| 489 | * ''WesternAnimation/VeggieTales'' had a take on the story of Israel's conquest of Jericho. After the walls collapsed, Joshua marches into the destroyed city, faced the two characters that had been [[Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail taunting them from atop the wall]] this whole time, and shouted in an appropriately let's-try-this-again-shall-we tone: "Hello! My name is Joshua! And God has given us this land!" At which point they scream in terror and run for the hills. |
| 490 | %%* In ''WesternAnimation/XMenTheAnimatedSeries'', both Gambit and Cable invoke this trope while fighting Apocalypse. |
| 491 | [[/folder]] |
| 492 | |
| 493 | [[folder:Real Life]] |
| 494 | * Manchu Chief Nurhaci issued a public manifesto citing Seven Grievances against the Ming Emperor, which included killing Nurhaci's father [[ExaggeratedTrope and grandfather]], as a call for rebellion. The revolt was successful, and Nurachi became the first Qing Emperor of China. Alas, he did not get to kill his opponent -- the last Ming Emperor [[DrivenToSuicide committed suicide]] when the capital was about to be overrun. |
| 495 | -->"Hello. My name is Aixin-Jueluo Nǔ'ěrhāchì. You killed my father and grandfather and did five other things about which I am angry. Prepare to be DrivenToSuicide while your capital is about to be overrun." |
| 496 | * Polish destroyer ''Piorun'' signaled "I am a Pole" to the German battleship ''Bismarck'' before [[LeeroyJenkins charging at it against orders]] and opening fire, to let the Germans know that Poland may be occupied but wasn't defeated. If some of the legends about the engagement are to be believed, the crew even [[RefugeInAudacity played the polish national anthem at the Bismarck]] while shooting at it and dodging return fire, just to drive the point home. |
| 497 | * Brazilian elections have a dedicated television time for ads, and the duration of each one is determined by how many elected representatives the party has. [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/En%C3%A9as_Carneiro One candidate]] for a very small party in the 1989 presidential election always ended his 15 second ads with "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GKW2eGuESE My name is Enéas!]]" to make sure people remembered him. And they did, as the catchphrase was part of why he became sort of an EnsembleDarkhorse in the country's politics until his death in 2007. |
