Line 11:
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.]]
 
They are so burningly passionate about everything that they do that they seem [[Large Ham|larger than life]]. They give their all in absolutely ''[[What Do You Mean ItsIt's Not Awesome?|everything]]'' they do, regardless of the task. They can say the cheesiest of lines with a straight face -- the best of them can say things that are ''so'' cheesy they use the [[So Bad ItsIt's Good]] principle to become ''awesome''. These characters are [[Hot Blooded]].
 
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]].
Line 22:
 
Not to be confused with a certain [[Foreigner (Music)|Foreigner]] song. Well, not all the time, anyway.

Line 34:
** 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]].
* Banjo Haran from ''[[Daitarn 3 (Anime)|Daitarn 3]]'' contains this in dangerous quantities. He even tells the ghost of his dad to piss off, cause he don't need his help to win!
* ''[[Gao Gai GarGaoGaiGar (Anime)|Gao Gai Gar]]'''s Guy Shishio makes the most of it by piloting a [[Humongous Mecha]] powered by his own courage. You could make a case for half the GGG, actually, but Guy does most of the fighting.
** In fact, most people voiced by [[Nobuyuki Hiyama]] have a tendency to fall into this trope, which also includes Ikkaku Madarame from ''[[Bleach (Manga)|Bleach]]'', Harunobu Madarame from ''[[Genshiken (Manga)|Genshiken]]'', Viral from ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (Anime)|Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'' and Akutare/Axel from ''[[Disgaea (Video Game)|Disgaea]] 2''. Even Link in ''[[The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time]]'' (who was voiced by Hiyama for that game) was particularly hotblooded in his screams when being knocked down or attacking.
** It should probably be noted that Guy's name can be translated as[[Meaningful Name|"Triumphant King Lion."]]
** Even in ''[[Gao Gai GarGaoGaiGar (Anime)|Gao Gai Gar]]'', Guy's arguably just the crown prince of hot-blooded shouting. The real crown goes to Koutarou Taiga, GGG chief.
** Even the AIs for the other robots in the series tend to be pretty hot-blooded, usually in the "red" half of the [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]] pairings. Although the combined Forms of said pairings are always hot-blooded. Also Goldymarg, an AI so hot-blooded it leads you to wonder if they programmed him in ALL CAPS.
*** 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!"
Line 71:
* Sachie from ''[[Wild Ones (Manga)|Wild Ones]]'' has this in spades whenever she gets riled up.
* ''Every'' [[The Hero|main hero]] in every ''[[Digimon (Franchise)|Digimon]]'' canon ever, except [[Digimon Tamers (Anime)|Takato]] who, like the rest of ''Tamers'', was a deliberate breaking of the mold. They all have [[Playing With Fire|the matching]] [[Personality Powers]], and some do it much more than others.
** Of particular note is Masaru Daimon, [[The Hero]] of ''[[Digimon Savers (Anime)|Digimon Savers]]'', whose hot-blooded force of will grants him the ability to punch out everything from giant chickens to ''[[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?|god itself]].''
*** [[Mobile Fighter G Gundam (Anime)|Hotblooded, his fists glow with an awesome power, and it grows as he delivers his love, his anger, and all of his sorrow.]] Sound familiar?
** This was parodied in a one off crossover special of ''[[Digimon V-Tamer 01 (Manga)|Digimon V-Tamer 01]]'', where [[The Hero|Taichi]] faces off against [[Canon Immigrant]] [[Digimon Adventure Anode Cathode Tamer (Video Game)|Ryo]], who had crossed over just for that special. A powerful Digimon sent by [[Big Bad|Daemon]] tries to stop them, but due to being an icy Digimon, the literal hot bloodedness caused by [[Ham to Ham Combat|Taichi and Ryo's meeting]] causes the monster to overheat.
Line 87:
* And Akira Fudo from ''[[Devilman (Manga)|Devilman]]''. He can give Vegeta from [[Dragonball]] a run for his money any day.
* ''[[G Gundam]]'' does this to the point where it's arguably a parody. All of the main pilots are [[Hot Blooded]] including George De Sand, and he's the stereotypical French gentleman outside his Super Robot. Whenever Rain Mikamura suits up she becomes a [[Hot Blooded]] pilot, and she's the technician! In fact this series is so [[Hot Blooded]] that Fuunsaiki, Master Asia's ''horse'', is [[Hot Blooded]]. Just look at its suit up sequence.
** Of course, main character [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhwdPdtQs94=watch_response Domon Kasshu is the reigning king of this.] (Gurren Laggan's Kamina and Nadesico's Gai deposed him temporarily, and would have kept the position {{spoiler|[[Too Cool to Live|if they had lived longer]]}}). He invokes the [[So Bad ItsIt's Good|so hotblooded it's not corny]] rule with such ferocity that he takes it far beyond [[So Bad ItsIt's Good]] straight to completely awful and then rockets straight ''back'' up to ''[[Crowning Moment of Awesome|fucking awesome]]'' when he uses the full power of his "Shining Finger" attack. The last episode tops it with a [[Refuge in Audacity]] [[Hot Blooded]] [[The Power of Love]] attack. Of course since that would be too long a quote, let's just have a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HZZzJBgYkE video of that scene] and use a Shining Finger sword Quote:
{{quote| '''Domon''': This hand of mine glows with an awesome power! Its burning grip tells me to defeat you! Take this! My love, my anger, and '''all of my sorrow!''' SHINING FINGER SWORD!}}
*** It's also treated somewhat more realistically, since his [[Hot Blooded]] self is one of his biggest character flaws: the fact that he is constantly acting on his over-the-top emotions makes it very easy to [[Unwitting Pawn|manipulate him]] and lure him into traps.
Line 103:
* Sagara Sanosuke, [[Generation Xerox|Sagara's father Kamishimoemon]], and Myoujin Yahiko from ''[[Rurouni Kenshin (Anime)|Rurouni Kenshin]]''.
** By now, you, dear viewer, are probably thinking that this is a heroic trope alone. So when you hear about the Japanese pseudo-[[Mummy]] by the name of Shishio Makoto, you think he's the [[Badass]] protagonist of a shonen manga. You got the [[Badass]] part right, but as for the ''hero'' part...[[Diabolical Mastermind|not]] [[Social Darwinist|so]] [[Magnificent Bastard|much]]. In fact, Shishio is actually '''''SO''''' [[Hot Blooded]] that he {{spoiler|dies when his blood overheats [[Man On Fire|and he spontaneously combusts]].}}
* Subaru of ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Striker S (Anime)|Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Striker S]]'', who's a massive [[Shout Out]] to ''[[Gao Gai GarGaoGaiGar (Anime)|Gao Gai Gar]]'' and [[Super Robot|Super Robots]] in general.
** 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.
** Heck, the entire series in general, especially considering it's a '''Magical Girl''' anime.
Line 112:
* Jouji Gouda from ''Akane Maniax'' who is pretty similar to the above
* Hot blood (or the use of [[Psycho Serum]]) ''[[Justified Trope|powers]]'' the [[Applied Phlebotinum|Lambda Driver]] in ''[[Full Metal Panic (Anime)|Full Metal Panic]]!'' Pilots who can be relied upon to use it without fail -- mainly the villains -- often have this kind of attitude.
** Sousuke doesn't normally do this trope (being an absolute [[The Stoic|stoic]] most of the time), but he does have one brief, distilled moment in ''Fumoffu'' of [[Hot Blooded]]-ness for the sake of a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQ-_wi40_kY pre-rugby match Rousing Speech] (starting at 5:35), at which point he might as well change his name to Domon Kasshu ([[Hey ItsIt's That Voice|Same voice actor again, by the way]]).
{{quote| '''Sousuke:''' DO WE LOVE OUR HIGH SCHOOL!? '''DO WE LOVE OUR RUGBY CLUB!?!?''' THEN LET'S '''''GO'''''!}}
** Hey Hey, there's Issei Tsubaki. He has the [[Martial Arts Headband|headband]] too.
Line 139:
** 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 what about [[Dark -Skinned Redhead|Kintarou]] [[Pint -Sized Powerhouse|"Kin-chan"]] [[Genius Ditz|Tooyama]], huh?
** And there's also Kunimitsu Tezuka. [[The Stoic|Yes, THAT Tezuka]]. But exclusively in regards to tennis.
** In the TV series, Kevin Smith also has his [[Hot Blooded]] moments.
Line 147:
*** He did seem quite determined in the [[Hetalia Blood Bath 2010|Christmas special]]. Maybe it just takes time for his [[Incredibly Lame Pun|volcano to erupt.]]
** Denmark is also an example, right down to being [[Boisterous Bruiser|boisterous]] and [[Blood Knight|having a lot of fun in fights.]]
** Hungary isn't that hotblooded at first sight, as she's a sweet and kind [[Team Mom]]. Give her a weapon and [[Violently Protective Girlfriend|send her out]] to protect [[Non -Action Guy|Austria]], though...
{{quote| '''Hungary''': "Crush vital regions, crush vital regions... CRUSH PRUSSIA! CRUSH PRUSSIA!"}}
** 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]].
Line 156:
** Don't let Hikaru's go-lucky personality fool you. That girl will set you on fire if you hurt her precious friends or even people she barely just met...literally.
** Umi seems to fit the trope rather well too...even though {{spoiler|she's supposedly the ''Water'' Knight of Selece}}
** Lafarga is naturally hot-blooded from moment one of his appearance but surprisingly enough even ''[[Tall, Dark and Handsome|Lantis]]'' who seems as mild-mannered and composed as they get will kick your ass and hand it to you if you challenge him {{spoiler|or even remotely threaten [[Love Interests|Hikaru]]}}
* ''[[Inu Yasha (Anime)|Inu Yasha]]''. I can't believe [[Kappei Yamaguchi]] doesn't lose a lung every time the guy opens his mouth.
** He's had practice with ''[[Ranma One Half½ (Manga)|Ranma One Half]]''.
*** And also, of course, if he isn't playing [[Death Note (Manga)|L]]
* Yankumi in ''[[Gokusen (Manga)|Gokusen]]'' is another example, although many other characters also qualify.
Line 173:
** 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!'''"
** Perhaps a more straightfoward example would be Asuka, who combines this with [[The Gadfly]], the [[Jerkass]], and arguably [[Hair -Trigger Temper]].
** Misato is a milder case.
** And let's not forget Mari "Just! Fucking! DDDIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!" Makinami, either!
Line 188:
* ''[[Fairy Tail (Manga)|Fairy Tail]]''. Pretty much the entire guild, but particularly Natsu.
** 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]].
* ''[[Sengoku Basara (Video Game)|Sengoku Basara]]'''s Date Masamune, for starters... but [[Hot Blooded]] though he is, Masamune still manages to be the [[Red Oni, Blue Oni|Blue Oni]] to Sanada Genjiro Yukimura's [[Red Oni, Blue Oni|Red Oni]] because Yukimura is ''that much more'' [[Hot Blooded]]. Yukimura and his boss Takeda Shingen - but especially Yukimura - are both so [[Hot Blooded]] that they [[Incendiary Exponent|set things on fire]].
** [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.
Line 210:
* The Bakunetsu Bancho from ''[[Kongoh Bancho (Manga)|Kongoh Bancho]]'' is exactly this. Repeatedly screams that "Men who aren't hot-blooded should die!", as seen [[media:2z689rt.jpg|here.]]
** Appropriately, his hair seems to be on fire.
* Tasuki of ''[[Fushigi Yuugi (Manga)|Fushigi Yuugi]]'' is a [[Fiery Redhead]] who uses a [[Calling Your Attacks|screaming]] [[Personality Powers|fire attack]] as his main mode of offense... and in what is part of his [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]], he becomes genuinely and completely enraged when brainwashed Tamahome breaks Miaka's heart, and proceeds to give a furious [["The Reason You Suck" Speech|lecture]] expounding on how horrible it is. That's right, he is so [[Hot Blooded]] that speechifying in defense of a 15-year-old schoolgirl's feelings somehow only makes him look MORE badass.
* Touma of ''[[To Aru Majutsu no Index (Anime)|To Aru Majutsu no Index]]'' can get rather hot blooded on occasion. The trigger varies, but mainly when <s>a friend</s> <s>someone he knows</s> someone is in danger or hurt.
* Guts from ''[[Berserk (Manga)|Berserk]]'' is normally very cold and indifferent, but when the [[Berserk Button]] is turned on, he becomes very [[Unstoppable Rage|savage]] and [[Screaming Warrior|noisy]] to the point of refusing to stay down and '''NEVER''' letting go of his sword. He smiles on the fights, always gets up, ready for more. His passion on the battlefield makes him a [[Hot Blooded]] ''[[Determinator]]''.
Line 260:
 
== Film ==
* The Spartans from ''[[Three Hundred300 (Film)|Three Hundred]]''.
** Also, most of the Persians who have speaking parts in ''300.'' Also, since the narrator is a Spartan, even the narration is Hot-Blooded.
* ''[[Speed Racer (Film)|Speed Racer]].'' ''All'' of it.
Line 288:
* [[Anne of Green Gables (Literature)|Anne of Green Gables]] throughout the first book.
* Phaethon from [[John C Wright]]'s ''[[The Golden Oecumene (Literature)|The Golden Age]]'' (note [[Meaningful Name]]). At one point he starts a defiant speech to a private enemy, only to realize that the gesture of raising a clenched fist accidentally [[Engineered Public Confession|activated the public channel...]]
* From [[The Bible]], Judge Samson was a [[Hot Blooded]] [[WorldsWorld's Strongest Man]] who killed a ''thousand'' Philistines with the jawbone of an ass. After a deadly [[Humiliation Conga]] that involved a certain [[The Vamp|seductress]], a [[Traumatic Haircut]] ''and'' [[Eye Scream]], [[Taking You With Me|took down]] ''[[Taking You With Me|hundreds]]'' [[Taking You With Me|more]] with him by breaking the pillars of a temple. '''[[Badass|Epic]]'''.
** "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]]?
* Deconstructed with Foxleap in ''[[Warrior Cats (Literature)|Warrior Cats]]''. He always tries to rise to every challenge, which one time resulted in the main characters having to literally pull him away from a fight because they were on a journey and needed to conserve energy. Eventually, {{spoiler|he jumps to the aid of some cats fighting an eagle when told to stay back, causing one of the cats to have to rescue him and dying in the process.}}
* ''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.
* ''[[Someone ElsesElse's War (Literature)|Someone Elses War]]'' gives us Matteo, who [[Jerkass|yells at everyone but his elders]], [[Idiot Hero|charges headfirst into danger without a split second's thought]], and is [[Determinator|damned near indestructible in his resolve.]]
 
 
Line 298:
* 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.]
** It should be noted that the real life wrestler Warrior (That's his legal name, by the way) once went to a UConn seminar, and basically screamed lines like "Queering don't make the world work," and causing a near riot through his [[Hot Blooded]] insanity.
** He also, ''[[Too Soon|within two days]] of Heath Ledger's death'' was referring to him in public as 'Leather Hedger', although what he [[Dude, Not Funny|meant by that]] is, as always, anybody's guess.
** We shall not forget the absolute insanity that was the "Macho Man" [[Randy Savage]].
* Virtually every Red Ranger in ''[[Super Sentai]].'' (''Dekaranger's'' Ban takes it up to eleven, to the point that you wonder how - or ''if'' - he even sleeps.) Reds are ''powered'' by screaming, and going in without a plan because "justice is on our side!" is sometimes a ''deeply-held philosophy,'' with the point of an episode or two being Red proving to a more serious character that you don't need to waste time thinking, you just charge in. When the [[Screaming Warrior|screaming]] begins, you know the [[Foe -Tossing Charge]] is coming! (''[[Power Rangers]]'' is different, preferring the [[Ordinary High School Student]].)
** ''[[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"!
Line 332:
* [[JAM Project (Music)|JAM Project]].
** The whole FIREEEEEEE BOMBEEEEEER association helps, too.
** Honestly, just because [[JAM Project]] is made of veteran musicians, everyone in it has at least one (and more often several) amazing solo under their belt. Kageyama Hironobu's [[Dragonball Z|Cha La Head Cha La]], Masaaki Endoh's [[Gao Gai GarGaoGaiGar (Anime)|Yuusha-Oh Tanjou]], Fukuyama Yoshiki's [[Busou Renkin|Makka na Chikai]]... just for starters.
*** 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.
**** [http://www.otaku-complex.com/pictures/darkdragon/EnsonCover.jpg This]
Line 342:
** Check it and see. He has a fever of 103.
* Surprisingly for a power metal band, [[Blind Guardian (Music)|Blind Guardian]] doesn't seem to have that many of these. However, one song that definitely qualifies is "The Curse of Fëanor" - not exactly surprising, given that it's from the point of view of [[The Silmarillion|Fëanor]].
* Power metal band Lost Horizon are among the most [[Hot Blooded]] of a genre known for [[Hot Blooded]] bands, with a male singer, Daniel Heiman, whose [[Metal Scream]] is so extreme that he can ''hit soprano notes in full voice'', band photos showing the band members dressed up as barbarian warriors, and lyrics largely about egoistic Hot Bloodedness and heavy metal. It's so gloriously cheesy that it's ''[[What Do You Mean ItsIt's Not Awesome?|awesome]]''. For the ultimate expression, see [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tev4R4g45Y "Sworn in the Metal Wind."]
* In the late 80's, [[Pantera (Music)|Pantera]]'s fourth album, Power Metal, changed from generic glam metal to [[Hot Blooded]] speed/thrash metal. Throughout the 90's all the way to 2003, Pantera practically thrived on a combination of [[Hot Blooded]] and [[Testosterone Poisoning]].
* The [[Disturbed (Music)|Disturbed]] song "Indestructible" seems to be about some [[Hot Blooded]] character.
Line 356:
* [[Henry Rollins (Music)|Henry Rollins]] is a living, breathing personification of this trope.
* "Burning Heart" by Survivor that talks about '''THE BURNING HEART JUST ABOUT TO BURST!!!''' Awesomeness unleashed.
* Yaguchi Mari from [[Hello! Project (Music)|Hello Project]]. To the point that due to her appearance she can overlap with [[Cute but Cacophonic]].
* When Anime has to do a [[Hot Blooded]] [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] and also wants music to go with it, who do they call?? Masaaki Frickin' Endoh!!
* MIQ/MIO. Sexy and passionate.
Line 442:
** Even characters from other series that are featured in ''Super Robot Wars'' are instantly turned into Hot Blooded badasses. Notable mention goes to ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'''s Shinji in the ''Alpha'' series, where he went from a [[Took a Level In Badass|spineless wimp to an asskicking god]].
* 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.
* Laharl and Flonne from ''[[Disgaea (Video Game)|Disgaea]]'', and Adell and Axel from ''Disagea 2''. And then there's '''Captain Gordon, Defender of Earth!''', who is guaranteed to give it his exclamation-point abusing all no matter what it is. Including [[What Do You Mean ItsIt's Not Awesome?|picnicking]].
** ''Disgaea 3'' gives us Champloo-sensei, the most [[Badass]], [[Hot Blooded]] ''Home Ec'' teacher you will ever find. Yeah, Disgaea's one of ''[[Widget Series|those]]'' kinds of games.
* Batsu Ichimonji from ''[[Rival Schools (Video Game)|Rival Schools]]'' is described [[All There in the Manual|in the manual]] as the "Hot-Blooded [[New Transfer Student|Exchange Student]]". Furthermore, his [[Super Mode]] form in ''Project Justice'' is called "Burning Batsu" and all his special and super moves in that form set the opponent on fire!
Line 503:
* [[Sengoku Basara|Sanada Yukimura]]'s soul is '''on fire with PASSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'''
* [[All There in the Manual|According to secondary material]], Fire Man from the original ''[[Mega Man (Video Game)|Mega Man]]'' game has a [[Hot Blooded]] personality. This is his major character quirk in ''[[Mega Man Powered Up]]''.
* Bowser in ''[[Mario and Luigi Bowsers Inside Story (Video Game)|Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' is this when he's not a [[Butt Monkey]]. The game mixes his normal bullheaded determination with outright heroic courage, including some passionate [[Victory Pose|Victory Poses]] that include chest pounding for pulling off successful special attacks, pumping his fist for victory and a [[Badass Arm Fold]] for {{spoiler|when he's about to pull off a [[Finishing Move]] on the [[Final Boss]]}}. His lines are also like this, especially his [[Shut UP, Hannibal]] moments.
* In the ''[[Sakura Taisen (Video Game)|Sakura Taisen]]'' series, you can choose what Ogami's (both Ogamis are included under that) responses to various questions/circumstances are. Usually, the most proactive one will have a frame of Ogami shouting with flames in the background. The hotblooded choice isn't ''always'' the right choice, but more often than not it is.
** 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.
Line 547:
* ''[[MAGISA]]'' -- [http://mag-isa.thecomicseries.com/comics/pl/119660 Kyle] has a passion about changing this totally * bleep* ed up world.
* Largo in ''[[Megatokyo]]'' is like this most of the time.
* The eponymous heroine of ''[[Anime News Nina]]'' has recently [http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/anime-news-nina/2009-03-04 demonstrated] her ability to mimic [[Gurren Lagann|Kamina's epic stances]] over the [[What Do You Mean ItsIt's Not Awesome?|smallest setbacks]].
* [http://hanna.aftertorque.com/?p=447 Casimiro] of ''[[Hanna Is Not a Boys Name]]'' goes from playful to raging to a nice [[Tranquil Fury]] all in his very first scene.
* ''[[Axe Cop (Webcomic)|Axe Cop]]'' '''will''' chop your heads off.
Line 566:
== Western Animation ==
* The ''[[Teen Titans (Animation)|Teen Titans]]'' incarnation of Robin.
** If he counts, then Cyborg '''definitely''' qualifies. He's a bit on the bi-polar side, but when he's "revved up," he makes Robin look like a [[Red Oni, Blue Oni|Blue Oni]] by comparison. BOO-YAH!!
** Although both characters have been known to slip into [[Tranquil Fury]] when channeling [[Batman]]/their robotic side during an especially intense or [[ItsIt's Personal|personal]] situation.
* Quickstrike of ''[[Transformers]]: [[Beast Wars (Animation)|Beast Wars]]'' fame. The fact that he's the only Maximal to join the Predacons permanently, voluntarily and with great enthusiasm says something. Most who join the Predacons are either sneakily programmed to (Blackarachnea, Inferno), are tortured into obedience (Rampage), or end up defecting (Rattrap, Dinobot (who was a Predacon to start with anyway)). Quickstrike was simply turned on by murder, torture and genocide.
** Dinobot will not, and cannot lose. "What is a warrior without weapons?" "A warrior still!"
Line 579:
* Korra from ''[[The Legend of Korra (Animation)|The Legend of Korra]]''.
* Jack Skellington from ''[[The Nightmare Before Christmas (Film)|The Nightmare Before Christmas]]''. [[Bad Santa|He may not be very good at being]] [[Santa Claus|Sandy Claws]], but ''boy'' is he passionate about it. "[[Large Ham|This year, Christmas will be OURS!!!]]"
* [[Batman Beyond (Animation)|Mad Stan]]. [[Stuff Blowing Up|BLOWS IT ALL UP]] while screaming in way that'd make the [[Gao Gai GarGaoGaiGar (Anime)|King of Braves proud.]]
