What is the nuance of この + [first person pronoun]?


For example, from the song Fare Well by L'Arc~en~Ciel:

> あなたは いつまでも この僕のこと 愛してくれたのかな

and countless examples from manga, like:

> だが このオレは 死なん...
>
> こんどは このオレが きさまを 滅ぼす
>
> このオレに 勝てるわけがない

My guess is that it この + first-person-pronoun is just emphasis, but is there
anything more here?




I would say nuance of ラルク song is different with other manga texts.

> あなたは いつまでも この僕のこと 愛してくれたのかな

この僕 in above sentence is more like こんな僕, kind of humble.

Will you ever love me even if I were such ...

But, other sentences on manga are trying to express himself superior

> だが このオレは 死なん... No wonder, I won't die (such easily)
>
> こんどは このオレが きさまを 滅ぼす, Remember!, this I will destroy/ruin you next time.
>
> このオレに 勝てるわけがない. You can never ever beat me for any reason!!!
