About
"I am a shadow… The true self…" is a phrase often used to refer to a character's doppelganger of sorts, especially when the aforementioned doppelganger has the upper hand against the original.
Origin
The phrase originates from the game Shin Megami Tensei Persona 4 [1]. It is said by most of the main bosses in the game, which are known as shadows[2], repressed emotions of the main characters that are manifested into their identical doppelganger. When a person denies the existence of their shadow, it becomes berserk, turn into a twisted representation of the character's repressed emotions, and ultimately utters the phrase before attempting to murder the person it came out of.
