{{quote|''"If a man... yells loud enough... he can do... anything!!"''|'''[[The Chosen Four]]''', [http://starmen.net/vote/vote.php?id=21837 page 40]}}

Sometimes, just sometimes, the flood of passion they unleash is such that you need to [[The Great Flood|send out a dove to find land afterwards.]]

 

 

Using the power of guts and determination, they [[The Berserker|throw themselves headfirst]] [[Leeroy Jenkins|into the worst situations imaginable]] and come out on top through ''[[Determinator|sheer force of will]]'', and often have a strong tendency to do impressive things. Even non-hot blooded characters can occasionally have their own hot blooded incidents; this is frequently their [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]].

For characters with boundless enthusiasm and energy but without the ''soul-searing intensity'', see [[Genki Girl]] or [[Keet]].

 

 

** Of course, Goku's still a [[Determinator]], which is bad news for his opponents.

** Hell, ''[[High School AU|Guren Gakuenhen]]'' has '''NIA''' going hot blooded!!!

** How hot is Simon's blood? Well, {{spoiler|in the [[Compilation Movie]] he turns it into a drill and kills the [[Big Bad]] with it.}} Yes, you read that right.

** Then of course you have Lordgenome, who is so hot blooded, he has a tendency for parts of his body to [[Awesomeness Is Volatile|spontaneously erupt in flames whenever he fights]].

** It should probably be noted that Guy's name can be translated as[[Meaningful Name|"Triumphant King Lion."]]

*** Canonically, his Super AI was based on [[Hard Gay|Geki]] [[Large Ham|Hyuuma]] because they didn't have time to raise it.

**** "LET'S BREAK STUFF!"

** And Rock Lee too. He's Guy's protege, so of course, he's like this also. He was nicknamed the "Hot-Blooded Dropout".

*** When Lee and Guy hug, the sheer amount of passion generated is enough to warp reality and cause a [[Against the Setting Sun|cliffside sunset]] to appear... indoors in the middle of a perfectly level forest.

*** Pretty much whenever Kiba's name is posted on this site, it is a link back to this page.

** Didn't someone say "hotblooded Sakura Haruno" in another article?

*** And Black manages to beat them all. He feels the need to scream out his dreams over a cliff on a near daily basis.

**** Not to mention that he can't think of anything else besides becoming [[Incoming Ham|"THE CHAMPION OF THE POKEMON LEAGUE!"]] and being unable to function in daily life without his Munna eating his dreams.

** Keigo also fits this trope in a way, since the dude lives his entire life in a colorful, energetic fast-forward. He does everything big and passionate! He's not particularly brave and enthusiastic about fighting, though. Then he partially lampshades this by playing '''[[Tranquil Fury|Hisagi Shuuhei]]''', since that character, despite being many things is not hot-blooded.

** Villains ain't immune to it either, Grimmjow is about as hot blooded as they come, and so is ''[[Nobuyuki Hiyama]]'''s Madarame Ikkaku.

** Avirama Redder, Barragan's hyperactive, battle-hungry fraccion, beats them all in hot-bloodedness. He's even color-coded.

* Major Armstrong from ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'', resident [[Large Ham]], [[Catch Phrase|whose hot-bloodedness has been passed down the Armstrong line for generations.]]

** Luffy's "Gear Second" form which involves him using his rubberman powers to pump his blood around faster than normal with the resulting increase in temperature causing steam to rise from his body. In other words, when in Gear Second, he's literally powered by hot blood!

*** Post-timeskip, {{spoiler|his "Hell Memories" technique sets his entire body on fire}}.

** And Zoro as a kid, before...''stuff'' happened.

** Boa Hancock gets this way whenever Luffy is involved [[Shrinking Violet|(except whenever he's actually in her presence, though)]].

*** ''Xros Wars'' also happens to offer [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLfoMQC0aFE an excellent condensation of pure anime hot blood into musical form].

*** And ''[[Shin Mazinger Zero]]'' seems to take this tropes [[Up to Eleven]].

** Many characters voiced by [[Tomokazu Seki]], most notable is probably [[G Gundam|Domon]] and maybe [[Martian Successor Nadesico|Gai]]. He's probably voiced more Hot Blooded characters than almost any other voice actor. Only problem is, he's voiced so many characters and with such a wide range of personalities that it's impossible to associate him with just the Hot Blooded ones.

** Also, let's not forget "'''HOOOOWARD MAAAAASON'''"!

** And "GUNDAM!!!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!"

** The aforementioned take-off to singelhandedly fight three Gundams on his own is accompanied by a nearly trope naming worthy 'I shall overcome reasoning with my recklessness!!!!' And hell, [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|he does]].

** Patrick Colasour, anyone?

** Take for example whenever he uses the [[Wave Motion Gun|Satellite Cannon]], it is always accompanied by him [[Calling Your Attacks|roaring for it to fire]].

** Subaru is something of a subversion as outside of battle, she's actually more of a mild-mannered [[Genki Girl]], who serves as a foil for her [[Tsundere]] teammate, Teana.

** The rest of the Animate staff are almost at his level, including a rookie introduced later in the series. It seems to be part of standard staff training at Animate.

* Jouji Gouda from ''Akane Maniax'' who is pretty similar to the above

** That show being ''Gekiganger 3'', whose little-seen full title actually includes the term "nekketsu", as does the title of the [[Short Anime Movie]], and a few of the special move names (Nekketsu-giri, the "Hot-blood Slash")... But surprisingly, it doesn't go nearly as far as some of the real examples.

** Amelia's actually calmed down quite a bit by the time Slayers TRY comes around as she's had time to also mature (considering her canon age is only 14 or 15 in the first series), to the point of where she almost has her embarrassed moments with her ''own father'' being so Hot Blooded. Her hot blood can be justified in that she has had no mother figure in her life with only her father to raise her. So it's less hot blooded by nature and more hot blooded by nurture?

** Or how about Squalo? [[Catch Phrase|VOOOOOIIIIIIII]] [[Battle Cry|indeed]].

** And that was just the first story arc. Later in the series, he's driving motorcycles off highway overpasses and {{spoiler|coming back from the dead}} to teach life lessons.

* Taishi from ''[[Comic Party]]''. Did you know manga is [[Serious Business]]? If not, then you don't know Taishi, a grandiose drama king who treats ''everything'' as a matter of life or death.

** Not to mention Yuu Inagawa, who gives a rousing speech about "Burning Passion" and "Passionate Love", which culminates in a vast inferno starting up behind her. She was trying to motivate a friend to... be more passionate about doujinshi.

** And Subaru, who honestly seems to think her life is a shounen manga (and that she's the star).

** His masters Appachai and Sakaki were like this to begin with.

** For the rival teams there's Ryoh Shishido of Hyoutei, who subjected himself to ridiculously harsh training to earn back his spot on the team. He loses his temper often, and is vocal about it, he this same passion can also bring up morale on his team.

** Mukahi Gakuto of Hyoutei, whom immediately did his acrobatics because of Kikumaru. Also oftens bicker with Shishido.

** Akaya Kirihara from Rikkaidai counts as this, until his [[Blood Knight]] side arises.

** Akira Kamio from Fudomine as well. [[Catch Phrase|He'll do it WITH RHYTHM~]]

** And there's also Kunimitsu Tezuka. [[The Stoic|Yes, THAT Tezuka]]. But exclusively in regards to tennis.

** Among the other girls, Seychelles and Belarus have their own Hotblooded moments. The first rejects England's claims on her without hesitation, the second goes ''very'' competitive in [[Hetaween 2011]].

** Umi seems to fit the trope rather well too...even though {{spoiler|she's supposedly the ''Water'' Knight of Selece}}

** Here he is singing the opening to one of his own series, ''Blazing Transfer Student'' [http://youtube.com/watch?v=xkL8UZjLWz8&fmt=18\]. You can ''feel'' the hot-blooded passion. Set to a video of ''[[G Gundam]]'', naturally.

* [[Nora]] isn't hot-blooded; hot-blooded characters are merely infected with the Nora Plague.

** While he's not as hot-blooded as Rakan, Ricardo also requires mention, being a hot-blooded ''senator'' of a major country. The two used to be drinking buddies before Ricardo started doing the politician thing.

** On the villain side, we have Secundum, the [[Psycho Electro]] of Kosmo Entelecheia. His creator admitted to dialing all his emotions [[Up to Eleven]] in an attempt to understand Nagi's [[Heroic Willpower]].

** He's more of a [[Shrinking Violet]] who happens to have his [[Berserk Button]]/[[Beware the Nice Ones]] moments.

** We definitely see that in Rebuild 2.0. "Give. AYANAMI! '''BACK!'''"

** Misato is a milder case.

** And let's not forget Mari "Just! Fucking! DDDIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!" Makinami, either!

** Kuroyanagi is very, very passionate about [[Serious Business|bread judging and the goofy, over-the-top reactions that tend to transpire as a result.]]

*** Jack is so hot-blooded that when confronted with Scar-Red Nova(Red Nova in the English), an Earthbound Immortal more powerful than any other to date, he forcibly steals its power and seals it into a card that spontaneously appears in his hand, thereby creating his new ace monster (Scar-)Red Nova Dragon, by the sheer force of his own hot-blooded awesomeness. I reiterate: He stole an all-powerful demon's power and created a new card for himself out of sheer hot-blooded awesomeness.

** Because of Natsu's [[Wreathed in Flames|Flames of Emotion]] technique, whenever he's feeling particularly hot-blooded he will literally catch fire. This is [[Played for Laughs]] about as often as it is [[Played for Drama]].

** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzzYINmiGFk OYAKATASAMA!! YUKIMURA!!]

** Chousokabe Motochika, the <s>samurai</s> pirate lord and his followers. Even old nannies wanted to join the fight.

** No, no, not until you actually get to ''see'' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjTCmzVNYdM the end result]. Your scheduled head-explody may now re-commence.

** Don't forget Haruki Hanai!

** Maka's not far behind.

** His ''[[Memetic Mutation|daughter]]'' Sheryl from ''[[Macross Frontier]]'' while normally an [[Ojou]], becomes a hot blooded [[Determinator]] when it comes to her singing.

*** Both can be said to be deconstructions of this trope though. Basara can be plain annoying at times much to the annoyance of the rest of his bandmates. Shery, while trying to be a determinator and fly a [[Transforming Mecha|Valkyrie]] out of a battle fails miserably.

*** His [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] comes when, faced with an opponent who has developed immunity to all his regular attacks, he performs a [[Big Damn Heroes]] to save the [[Cool Ship|Macross Quarter]], then pulls out his mech's knife and proceeds to kick ass while declaring that he will fight with everything, down to his fists, teeth and nails, just to protect his sister as well as the woman that he has come to love, because if he could not, then he wouldn't be a man, all while badly injured. To top it off, Fire Bomber's ''Try Again'' plays during [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_-3dqGckro#t=1m25s this scene].

** Bobby Margot also from ''Macross Frontier'' is, in addition to sporting an ''[[Afro Asskicker|afro]]'', being a world class make-up artist, a [[Bridge Bunny]] and [[Ho Yay]], one of the most damned hot blooded characters in the show when he [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxXCV4DN3fU#t=2m pilots the Macross Quarter's battle mode]. He's known as [[Fan Nickname|GARby]] for a very good reason.

** Appropriately, his hair seems to be on fire.

** To explain in detail: for four episodes, Noriko was very insecure and negative about her role as a savior of mankind... and then she finally piloted the Gunbuster at the end of the fourth episode, kicking that lack of confidence to the curb. Then episode 5 comes, which includes the four most action-packed minutes in [[Super Robot]] anime history, with BILLIONS of enemies obliterated by Noriko's onslaught of awesome.

** Lampshaded in the [[Super Robot Wars]] games, where one scene has Noriko learning how to scream in Hotblooded fasion by none other than [[Getter Robo|Ryoma Nagare.]]

* Adeu of ''[[Lord of Lords Ryu Knight]]''.

* Most of the shonen anime protagonists from [[The Eighties]] and [[The Nineties]] embody this trope.

* Akane Hino/Cure Sunny of ''[[Smile Pretty Cure]]''. She even describes herself as "hot-blooded" in her [[I Am Hero Hear Me Roar]] speech.

 

* ''[[X-Men (Comic Book)|X-Men]]'': Most of the more fervent anti-mutant detractors end up coming across like this, but for a heroic example, see Sunspot and Cannonball of the [[New Mutants]]. Of course, [[Personality Powers|one's a solar-powered superstrong and the other can smash into things with a blasting field]].

** And Sunfire, who is so hot-blooded he's literally [[Incendiary Exponent|on fire]].

* [[Doom (Comic Book)|The Doom Guy]] has [http://doomcomicdrama.ytmnd.com/ more hotblood pumping through his veins than every anime character combined].

** Unsurprisingly, he recently had a temporary stint as a Red Lantern, since their trademark power is to spew boiling blood at their enemies.

** Taken literally by the [[Red Hulk]]. His blood is actually Hot...so much so that he'll actually ''pass out'' once it hits a certain level.

* In an early issue ofprojec ''[[Daredevil]]'', old Hornhead comes to see the Plunderer is one hot blooded customer, possessing a "fire" to him that is so bold, Daredevil could pick him out of a crowd of hundreds. Note for the uninitiated: Daredevil is ''blind''.

* The second [[Superboy]] (Kon-El/Conner Kent) was very much this, as well as [[Fun Personified]]. It all went away when he learned he was half-[[Lex Luthor]], causing him to go [[Darker and Edgier]].

 

 

** "Cast in the shape of man! Made to fight humanities' enemies! You shall carry our will unto eternity! I NAME YOU! EVANGELION! I NAME YOU; TITANICUS! ''PRINCIPIO ETERNUS''!"

** "I will never give up! My friend's freedom's on the line!"

 

 

== Film ==

** Also, most of the Persians who have speaking parts in ''300.'' Also, since the narrator is a Spartan, even the narration is Hot-Blooded.

** Also Vinnie, to [[Fatal Flaw]] extremes.

* The ''[[Ip Man]]'' films have Zealot Lin from the first and Wong Leung from the second. This eventually costs both of them; Leung gets better. {{spoiler|Zealot Lin [[Backstab Backfire|doesn't]].}}

* Connor MacManus of ''[[The Boondock Saints]]'' is by far the most hot-tempered and fiery of the title brothers, though we do see his moments of calm as well.

 

 

== Literature ==

* Fëanor ("Spirit of Fire") in ''[[The Silmarillion]]'', whose body cremated itself when he died.

** In fact, the entire tale of the Silmarils is pretty much caused by his hot blood and burning soul. The spontaneous combustion is just the tip of the magma vein. (I'd say iceberg, but... uh, it doesn't seem suitable.)

** And Perrin ''becomes'' this trope when {{spoiler|Faile gets kidnapped by Aiel}} later in the series.

** ''Forward momentum!''

* Richard Rahl of the ''[[Sword of Truth]]'' series.

* Prince Aljan, the unicorn protagonist from Meredith Ann Pierce's ''[[Firebringer Trilogy]]''.

** As well as Harry himself, particularly during the fifth book. And also [[Fiery Redhead|Ginny Weasley]].

** "Hundreds"? Try ''thousands''. "The dead he slew dying exceeded those he had slain living" (Judges 16:30). Who knew that [[The Bible]] could take [[Badass]] [[Up to Eleven]]?

* ''Loads'' of examples in the ''[[Chalet School]]'' series, particularly the American girls, [[Clingy Jealous Girl|Simone Lecoutier]] and [[Kick the Dog|Betty Wynne-Davies]]. Joey is the most prominent example, and her temper gets her into trouble more than a few times, though she (for the most part) calms down as she gets older. Her daughter Margot also has some anger management issues - she refers to her temper as 'my demon', and it gets her into major trouble in ''Theodora at the Chalet School'', culminating in Len slapping her and her dad ''refusing to speak to her for two weeks''. After that, she learns her lesson and tries her damnedest to control it.

 

 

== Live Action TV ==

* Common in [[Professional Wrestling]]; the two most famous examples are [[Hulk Hogan]] and [[Stone Cold Steve Austin]]. The [[Ultimate Warrior]] was so hot blooded that he came off as insane. Listen to one of the Warrior's interviews where he would rant and rave about crap no one ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laiZgrIpbcA including the people working for WWF) could understand.]

** We shall not forget the absolute insanity that was the "Macho Man" [[Randy Savage]].

** ''[[Power Rangers]]'' Reds are less likely to be this, but there are exceptions, such as [[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers|Jason]]. Most of his morphed dialogue is shouted.

** [[Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger]] takes this [[Up to Eleven]] as well... The name is translated literally as "Explosive Dinosaur Squadron Rampage Ranger"!

** Ninjaman from ''[[Ninja Sentai Kakuranger]]''. ''Especially'' when somebody calls him [[Berserk Button|Aonisai]] (literally means Blue Squirt; has been rendered as "Bluehorn" and "Little Boy Blue" also).

** And that he wants everything done... '''NOW'''!

** ...because he is RUNNING OUT OF TIME!!!

** '''DAMMIT!!!'''

* ''[[The Practice]]'' ran on this trope. Bobby Donnell and Eugene Young were the front-runners, but most of the others did not run far behind. It was a rare courtroom scene that didn't contain one of them screaming at a witness... or the prosecutor... or the judge.

** Six as well.

** John Simm's Master. ("Never! Never! ''Never dying! NEVER DYING!'' '''''NEVER DYING!'''''")

** Back in the [[Tom Baker]] era, Leela embodied this trope. And was awesome for it.

* ''[[Friends]]'': The Geller siblings. Ross turns into "Red Ross". His hot bloodedness becomes more apparent when Rachel challenges him to poker.

* Vyvyan, Mr. Balowski, occasionally Mike and ''especially'' Rick from ''[[The Young Ones]]''.

* In the HBO TV series ''[[Rome]]'', Mark Antony.

** General Martok, as a Klingon, is kind of expected to do this, but really, his every word sounds like a triumphant speech. Actor J.G. Hertzler invoked this trope during his audition, throwing a chair against the wall and losing a fingernail in the process. He impressed the ''Deep Space Nine'' higher-ups so much that they brought Martok back as a recurring character.

* Ken Kurenai from ''[[Super Robot Red Baron]]''. However, his [[Bunny Ears Lawyer|much goofier]] ally Inspector Ippei Kumano ends up surpassing him in the passion and hot blood department. He's a bit more aggressive in battle, too ([[Meaningful Name|as his last name implies]]).

 

 

== Music ==

** Similarly from The Protomen, Vengeance basically comprises Mega Man being astoundingly pissed and tearing through an army.

** The whole FIREEEEEEE BOMBEEEEEER association helps, too.

*** Endoh gets bonus points for being able to yell to put every seiyuu to shame: he [[Calling Your Attacks|calls several attacks]] in ''[[Mazinkaiser|Mazin Kenzan!]]'' and ''Yuusha-Oh Tanjou!'' and the results are epic.

* [[Madan Senki Ryukendo|Ryukendo's]] second opening theme song is a prime example of this trope, which is a sharp contrast to the first opening. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yl7JG0yIrLc Just listen.]

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JdbHuvUv18 Nihon Break Kogyou]: Sounds like a [[Super Robot]] theme song... but it's actually the official song for a Japanese demolition company.

** Check it and see. He has a fever of 103.

** [[Comically Missing the Point|Totally]].

** "Warrior" from the next album somehow managed to out-cheese ''Indestructible''. Yes, they pulled it off.

"''Surrender now or be counted / With the endless masses that I will defeat''" }}

* Most songs by Dream Evil are ultimately about kicking ass.

** "That's me! AAAANDDDD KG!" "That's me!"

* "Holding Out for a Hero" by Bonnie Tyler is a song that can make any chase sequence a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]].

* "Burning Heart" by Survivor that talks about '''THE BURNING HEART JUST ABOUT TO BURST!!!''' Awesomeness unleashed.

* MIQ/MIO. Sexy and passionate.

* Hiroki Yumi, the main singer for [[Juushin Liger]] themes. Listening to "Ikari no Juushin" will heat you up.

* Satoko Shimizu, who sings "SHINING SOUL" of [[Tenkuu Senki Shurato]]. Apparently her debut song.

** First lines are "Now, my hot soul is set free to the future" (今熱い魂を 解き放て未来へと) or the like.

Leaving the future behind me }}

 

 

* Four words: [[Norse Mythology|Thor, God of Thunder]].

* [[Older Than Dirt]]: The goddess Inanna (Ishtar) from Mesopotamian mythology. Aside her devastating prowess in battle as a war goddess, ignoring the fact she would ride into town on the back of a ''lion'', she was also known for physically dragging men out of taverns to sate her, erm, appetites...

 

 

== Tabletop Games ==

* Bretonnian Knights Errant in the [[Warhammer Fantasy]]. Unless they success in Leadership check, they will charge ''anyone'' in sight, being Immune to Psychology that turn. It acts as Darwinist selection; those who survive, will become new Knights of the Realm.

** The supplement ''Tome of Battle'', introduced a martial manoeuvre (functionally like a spell for a swordsman) called Iron Heart Surge. The fluff description of it is as follows: ''By drawing on your mental strength and physical fortitude, you break free of a debilitating state that might otherwise defeat you.'' For instance, if the character is paralysed due to the spell ''Hold Person'', Iron Heart Surge allows the affected character to use their sheer hot-bloodedness to eliminate the spell's effect (It was intended to anyways, the writers neglected to add an exception to the "must be able to move to use a maneuver" rule). Needless to say, some players should make use of the [[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann|famous line of the hot-blooded god]] if using the manoeuvre at a dramatically-appropriate moment (and due to the bad wording, can end almost any "effect", like the sun or gravity, Fight the Power indeed).

** Some [[Chaotic Good]] characters, particularly fighters and Barbarians, will come off like this.

* The Apoc Churls of ''Untold'' have this as their [[Planet of Hats|hat.]] Some have been known to [[Breath Weapon|spew lava out of their mouths]] when angered.

* This trope exists in the gothic horror game [[Vampire: The Requiem]] (among other anime shoutouts) in the form of a [[Horny Devil|Daeva]] bloodline called the Tianpian Xiao. These guys are so incredibly hot-blooded, they must use their power to release their excess emotions into the people around them or go through a hot-blooded ''stupor.''

 

 

** Right, which is why after the line he proceeds to go chew out his mother instead, and when he does run into the target of his revenge on the way (by accident) he ignores the opportunity to kill him in prayer so that he won't go to heaven, a cool and level-headed response. The point is that Hamlet is a peaceful reflective individual forced into the role of avenger despite it not suiting his character, and the whole play is about his hesitation and doubt, making this a deconstruction of traditional revenge tragedies.

*** In fact Hamlet castigates himself for NOT being hot-blooded ("I am pidgeon-livered and lack gall..."). He claims to admire hot-blooded individuals, such as the neighbouring countries who fight over "a straw", but also says to Horatio "Give me the man who is not passion's slave and I will wear him in my heart's core" and mocks Laertes for his excessive display of grief.

* [[Cyrano De Bergerac]].

 

 

== Toys ==

 

 

* Jin Saotome from ''[[Cyberbots]]''. ''Especially'' in his Marvel vs Capcom 2 incarnation, in which most of his kicks and punches are ''on fire''! Even better, when he's in [[Super Mode]], you can mash some buttons when taunting to make him wipe his towel on his back faster and faster until he's practically shouting his lungs out and on fire. Literally.

* ''[[Metal Gear]]''. ''[[Parrot Exposition|Metal Gear]]?'' There's Snake, Liquid, pretty much all the bosses (especially Raging Raven and Fury), even Otacon gets his moments. Usually paired with large amounts of [[Say My Name]].

** Also [[Order of Ecclesia|Albus]] and [[Portrait of Ruin|Jonathan Morris]].

* Perhaps the strongest force in the ''[[Super Robot Wars]]'' series, rivaled only by the Ideon Gun. In fact, one of the most useful special skills in the series is the "Valor" skill (Doubles the strength of your next attack), which in the original Japanese was called, you guessed it, "Nekketsu" (Hot Blood). In fact, damn near every character in the [[Original Generation]] games uses it, even the ''shy'' ones.

** Not just ''[[Original Generation]]''; a good number of the licensed anime characters get Valor/Hot Blood, including the primary cast of ''[[Gundam Wing]]'', which consists of [[The Stoic]], [[The Quiet One]], one [[Broken Hero]], an [[Arrogant Kung Fu Guy]], and a cute little boy, plus a [[White Prince]].

** ''Original Generations'', which adds voice acting to the games, shows that the [[Badass Normal|Gespenst Mk II S]] turns everybody Hot-Blooded with it's signature [[Limit Break]], the Gespenst Kick. Seriously. Not only does it have [http://youtube.com/watch?v=R5Z3DIbrtR0 the shy girls screaming their lungs out], but the characters who are already Hot-Blooded [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcoMQ2ubyKs turn that sucker up to twenty-two].

*** The anime adaptation, ''The Inspector'', makes this a [[Justified Trope]]: when the attack is ready to launch, the control panel flashes over with the verbal command to unleash the attack: "'''''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OcwkRpuHuA SHOUT NOW!!]'''''"

*** '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DX_IaXs5YQ UNIVEEEEEERSAL!]''' Enough said.

** However, the crowning glory of the ''[[Super Robot Wars]]'' series for Hot Blooded characters is Sanger Zonvolt. The series self-styled (but highly deserving of it) Sword That Smites Evil, Sanger takes on all comers and ''owns them all''. Always wielding some form of his Colossal Blade, a gigantic mecha sword that is sometimes THREE TIMES AS LARGE as his mecha, his sword is one that can cut through anything. Also armed with his many idioms and sayings, which he yells right before slicing his poor enemy in half.

* Normally stoic Kyosuke Nanbu has his hot-blooded moments as well. Most famously, if you stick him in a Gespenst and use the move "Ultimate Gespenst Kick", he will shout out the attack name so hot-bloodedly that, as the story goes, the VA once broke the microphone. Twice. See examples [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcoMQ2ubyKs from one of the games here] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OcwkRpuHuA here for the anime version]

** Really, Super Robot Wars is absolutely loaded with characters like these. In addition to Sanger and Katina, there's also Touma Kanou (who got so hot blooded at one point that he totally lost control and went on a rampage), and Folka and Fernando Albark, '''''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmFEXNpmCLA the Grand Masters]''''' of martial arts. Though we haven't really met him yet, presumably Folka's [[Expy]] Aledy Naash will also be like this when [[Endless Frontier]] EXCEED comes out.

** Even without the absolute awesomeness of Takuma Terashima's voice, Fighter Roar proved how hotblooded he was by taking out [[Humongous Mecha]] ''ON FOOT...'' and ''then'' we get him in the Compatible Kaiser and things just go nuts. {{spoiler|1=Then it gets upgraded to the G-Compatible Kaiser, and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xliM7ge7EQ THIS] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gy4JNEDd8xU happens]. HSQ [[Up to Eleven]]!}}

** Ryusei's character description says he's an "EXTREMELY hot blooded young man". He proves it in spades.

* It's easier to mention which characters are NOT hot blooded in [[Dynasty Warriors|Koei's]] ''[[Samurai Warriors|Warriors]]'' [[Warriors Orochi|series]]. ''[[Warriors Orochi]]'' in particular has so much hot blood (being a fusion of both ''[[Dynasty Warriors]]'' and ''[[Samurai Warriors]]''), it's amazing the games' boxes didn't melt off the shelves.

** Hell, PE teacher Hayato's surname tells it all, and him having a super move named Burning Stoic that essentially [[Nigh Invulnerability|makes him impervious to pretty much everything one can throw at him]] is a nice bonus. If that doesn't qualify as hot blooded manliness, then this editor doesn't know what would.

*** That would be his [[Combination Attack]], where he manifests his partner's Hot-Bloodedness into a [[Combined Energy Attack|Genki Dama]] and ''launches'' it at the enemy.

* Michael Wilson from ''[[Metal Wolf Chaos]]'':

"HOW DO YOU LIKE ME NOW!?!" }}

** Note that Apollo Justice takes VOICE TRAINING so he can be this hot-blooded.

** '''''OBJECTION!'''''

** The dumb variant of this trope - Detective Dick Gumshoe~!

*** Dick Gumshoe is so hot-blooded that every other line of his tends to come with plenty of screen-shaking and violent sound effects.

** Or... e... b... a... e.. b.. a.. e. b. a. e.b.a. E.B.A. EBA! EBA! EBA! EBA! [[Elite Beat Agents|ARE YOU READY]]? YEAH!

** Note that the sequel to Ouendan is titled ''Moero! Nekketsu Rhythm Damashii'' which translates to "Burn! Hot-Blooded Rhythm Soul!"

** And Kunio/Alex himself is the hero of the entire freaking school, being summoned whenever a crisis emerges or a sports challenge comes up. Did I mention his girlfriend can kick ass when she feels like it? If that ain't awesome and totally bad-ass, I don't know what is. Kunio/Alex isn't as known and respected as he should be, in video games...

* ''[[Street Fighter]]'''s Dan Hibiki. "''DOUSHITA!?''" "''OYAJII!!!!''" It's probably no coincidence that Dan's seiyuu in ''4'' also voices Hayato Saionji in ''Ouendan 2'', mentioned above.

** Surprising considering his personality but not surprising at all considering his voice actor is [[Tomokazu Seki]], one of the kings of Hot Bloodiness.

** Forget the Ritalin, get me a sedative!

** Forget the sedative, give me two shots with a gunblade.

** Which is highlighted even further by contrast against the [[Crapsack World|dark and dreary nature of the world]] the game takes place in, and the general angst of other characters in the game world (especially in the expanded games and movie).

** And Barret during Midgar arc.

* [[Samurai Shodown|My Boiling Blood Bubbles For Battle]]

** Arguably many of KOEI's ''[[Dynasty Warriors]]'' and ''[[Samurai Warriors]]'' characters, mixed with [[Blood Knight]] and [[Boisterous Bruiser]].

* Riki Makishi in ''[[Bangai-O]]''. Then again, he is native of a planet [[Planet of Hats|populated by hot blooded men]].

** Everyone in ''Bangai-O Spirits'', the lighthearted, plot-free DS spinoff, in different ways. Ruri is more enthusiastic, especially when the time comes to shout [[Transformation Name Announcement|"Bangai-O GO!"]], while Masato thinks the whole thing is stupid. On the other hand, he's very confident, reckless, always ready to get to the mission already.

** "The bigger they are, the harder I hit!"

** "Butt-kicking...FOR GOODNESS!!!"

* The new Willpower power set in ''[[City of Heroes]]'' allows for characters that have [[Badass Normal|no super reflexes or resistance]], but can remain up and fighting with the super-powered through sheer force of will. If that's not Hot Blooded, I don't know what is.

* In ''[[Dragon Quest Monsters]]'', the monsters' ideal personality (which affects their AI) is Hotblood.

** "QUICKER THAN THE WIND AND AS STILL AS THE FOREST! HOTTER THAN FLAMES AND MORE MAGNIFICANT THAN A MOUNTAIN!"

** When one of Bang's specials, {{spoiler|Fuurinkazan, which the above is taken from,}} is unleashed, the background music is replaced with ''his very own theme song'' performed by - of all people - '''''JAM PROJECT.''''' (Or more specifically, Hironobu Kageyama.)

* [[Fire Emblem Elibe|Hector of Ostia and Dart the Pirate]], anyone?

* Fawkes from ''[[Fallout 3]]'' is extremely passionate both about philosophy and about [[Warrior Poet|ripping evil doers to shreds.]]

* [[Sengoku Basara|Sanada Yukimura]]'s soul is '''on fire with PASSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'''

** The more you select Ogami's hotblooded answers in ''[[Sakura Taisen]]'', the better you're probably doing. SpiritArmor's [[Let's Play]] of it parodies this to great effect.

* Garlot of ''[[Blaze Union]]'' as a matter of course; it seems to be a requirement for a young freedom fighter such as himself to be passionate and reckless to a fault. [[Yggdra Union|Three years later]], he's ''still like this'', charging into lots of things scythe-first. Interestingly enough, his blood also happens to be ''literally'' hot as well. {{spoiler|More apparent once he's changed his name to Gulcasa, he's physically more demon than human, as a true descendant of the demon dragon Brongaa. Burning blood, superhuman strength, and (while exerting his full power) an actual aura of fire happen to be side effects.}}

* From ''[[Total Overdose]]'', the protagonist Ram, aka 'El Gringo Loco', is more hotblooded than his father. A great deal of accurate puns follow from the name 'Ram'.

* Asuma Shidou from ''[[Daemon Bride]]'' fights with his [[Power Fist]] burning on fire and is always yelling with full of hot blood when attacking.

* [[The Legend of Zelda|Link]] somehow manages to be this [[Heroic Mime|without speaking.]]

* [[Ganbare Goemon|Goemon]] is a hotblooded man of Edo ([[Kawaisa|despite his looks]]), who is always itching to beat the snot out of villains with his trusty pipe when they cause trouble. Of course, when the Japanese title of his series has "Ganbare" ("Do your best/Hang in there") in it, it's to be expected.

* Wataru Hoshi from ''Star Trigon''.

** ''"With names like Hoshi and Big Bang, we're '''DESTINED TO BE IN OUTER SPACE!!!!"'''''.

* [[World of Warcraft|LEEROOOOOOOOOY mnJEEEEEEEENKIIIIINS!!!!!]]

** Made even more impressive by the fact that, while O'Brien plays badasses all the time, they tend to be the cool, calm, and collected type. Who knew that even the God Of All Voice Actors was capable of playing against type so well?

* Alex, the protagonist of [[TCTRPG|The Colour Tuesday,]] is a hotheaded, brash delinquent whose burning drive, implacable idealism and willingness to keep going where others give up is what drives the story at times, even as it makes her rather stubborn (in an [[Only Sane Man|Only Sane Woman-ish]] sort of way) and at times a little obnoxious.

** Keep in mind, he is [[The Comically Serious|not like this at all]] in his home series.

* Red from ''[[Solatorobo]]''. Elh outright calls him "hot-headed", and he only solves ''one'' of the three riddles for the {{spoiler|Flute}}, settling the first two with violence. Frequently [[Honor Before Reason|charges in without thinking]], and says some pretty cheesy things with a straight face.

 

== Visual Novels ==

** If you listen to Satoshi's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_2jkhrpGDk&feature=related image] song, you notice how surprisingly hot blooded he is. He equals Keiichi.

*** Well, {{spoiler|Satoshi acted similar to Keiichi in Onikakushi-hen according to Rena meaning they can't be too different.}}

** Oko San also fits the bill. His route is pretty much him and Hiyoko trying to out-ham each other in the name of love (and pudding).

 

 

== Web Comics ==

* Largo in ''[[Megatokyo]]'' is like this most of the time.

 

 

== Web Original ==

* [http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=6805729040D24BD0 This] [[Let's Play]] of ''[[Contra]] III''.

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVgXam6YzcE&feature=related Musclebomber2021] was often like this with his Let's Plays.

* Like the above, Linkara maintains a calm, collected and analytical demeanour, yet his catchphrase is "I AM A ''MAN!!!''", followed by a punch. He got it from some comic where a character did the same.

* Saede, Ti'Cira, and Satkia in ''[[The Gungan Council]]'', [[Fiery Redhead|for obvious reasons]]. It's a good idea not to mess with them.

* Xandus at the beginning of [[Mall Fight]] 2 was quite passionate with being a daemon prince.

 

== Western Animation ==

** Dinobot will not, and cannot lose. "What is a warrior without weapons?" "A warrior still!"

** Then there's Ginrai in ''[[Transformers Super God Masterforce]]'', after he decides to accept the [[Call to Adventure]]. He even has an attack [[Calling Your Attacks|called]] "Chokon God Fire Guts!" And then Takara released [http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Image:Firegutsginrai_toy.jpg this toy].

* Palmer of ''[[Titan Maximum]]'' is this trope mixed with [[Jerk Jock]].

 

 

== Real Life ==

* Tim Tebow, the Florida Gators quarterback tends to get excited when on the Gators sideline and in the locker room. Hell, even when he's low key, he can give a hot blooded speech!

** Of course, it also works as a [[Rousing Speech]], as well.

* Sports players in general.

** And people playing fighting games, too. Yelling their charas's [[Catch Phrase|catch phrases]] while playing and laughing out loud? I'm in! '''''[[Memetic Mutation|IT'S MAHVEL BAYBEE!]]'''''

** And people playing Mario Kart, they can get pretty loud.
