A collection of famous lines from a legendary villain. Cobra’s memorable quotes that resonate (1–10)
I’m here—by myself!!Cobra
In response to Goldman’s line after capturing the heroine Ophelia—“It’s useless.
There’s no knight left to protect you”—comes the famous retort: “There is.
Right here—me!” Appearing at the perfect moment in a desperate crisis and turning the tide is the very image of a hero, isn’t it? The way he rushes to any place for the one he loves and dashes in to save her is so cool it makes you forget he’s actually a villain.
It’s a classic line packed with everything that makes Cobra such an appealing character.
What do you think I’m doing? Don’t be surprised—I’m making a phone call.Cobra
While I was in a phone booth, someone said, “I don’t recognize your face.
What are you doing here?” and the reply was, “What do you think I’m doing? Don’t be shocked—I’m making a phone call.” It can be read as a casual exchange, yet there’s a subtle mismatch between the question and the answer.
If you can come back with this kind of instant humor to a sudden question, any conversation would be enjoyable.
It’s very Cobra-like, and a quote that makes you laugh in spite of yourself.
God, huh… Just a dull man who first came up with the idea of sin.Cobra
A line that’s very Cobra-like—someone who lives as a space pirate and would probably be labeled a villain by common standards: “God, huh… just a dull fellow who first came up with the idea of sin.” Because Cobra lives freely and sometimes risks his life for those he loves, he may have his own thoughts about the ideal image of God created by humans.
That said, in ordinary society, committing a crime harms others and, of course, is punishable by law.
Don’t use this as a justification for your own actions.
What do you do when you get angry? Do you dance a waltz with a rabbit?Cobra
The famous line “When you get mad, what do you do? Dance a waltz with a rabbit?” is said to be based on a quote by Philip Marlowe from Raymond Chandler’s novel The Long Goodbye: “What do you do when you get mad? Dance a tango with a squirrel?” It’s a very Cobra-like phrase that provokes with impeccable wordplay and goads the enemy into self-destruction.
However, depending on your relationship—such as with close friends—it could make you dislikeable, so use it with care.
Makes sense. I haven’t really done any PR (promotion) after all.Cobra
In response to the line, “I didn’t know there was a person in this world who could tear steel apart,” comes the iconic comeback: “I bet you didn’t—It’s not like I’ve been advertising it.” It’s a brilliant line that captures Cobra’s cool composure, isn’t it? In Japan, there’s a proverb: “A talented hawk hides its talons,” and perhaps it means that no matter how impressive something looks to others, it may not be worth bragging about to the person themselves.
It’s a cool, memorable quote you’ll want to use at just the right moment.
Confession…? Better not. It would probably take a week to confess everything.Cobra
A famous line when he’s urged to confess to God: “Confess…? Let’s not.
It’d take me a week to tell everything.” It’s a quintessential quote that only Cobra, who has lived freely as a space pirate, could deliver.
Or perhaps it expresses his resolve that, as a so‑called villain, he can’t think of anything he needs to confess.
It’s a line that only Cobra—whose core never wavers no matter who he faces or what situation he’s in—could say, and it makes you feel you’d like to live with that level of conviction yourself.
Everyone is kind to a death row inmate.Cobra
Continuing from “This is the end, boy.
I’ll at least give you time to pray,” the line “Everyone’s kind to a condemned man.” Isn’t it a quote that perfectly showcases Cobra’s charm and boldness? Cobra has many memorable lines—some humorous, some cool—but this one, in particular, reminds us that he’s a space pirate.
And then Boy replying, “Oh? How considerate of you, Cobra,” is probably the key that turns a tense scene into something you can’t help but smile at.
