Line 17:

* ''[[Naruto]]'''s [[Ax Crazy|Gaara]] qualifies as he is protected by the sand controlled by his [[Sealed Evil in a Can|inner demon, Shukaku]]. {{spoiler|The ninja war arc reveals he is protected by his mother, not Shukaku.}}

* In ''[[One Piece]]'', [[Heavily Armored Mook|The Invincible Pearl]] could manifest flames when he felt threatened, i.e. whenever anyone managed to put a scratch on him through his supposedly invincible defense. While screaming "DANGER!! DANGER!!"

* ''[[Ranma ½~~|Ranma 1/2~~]]'', titular character has the Neko-Ken technique. His mind "learned" it as a way to briefly escape his crippling [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?|ailurophobia]] when he's absolutely surrounded by cats and is unable to flee from them, turning ''him'' into a cat. It happens more often than you might think. While it makes him immensely powerful, lightning-fast, and savage, he still ''thinks like a cat'' while in that state, making it an [[Useless Useful Spell]] that anyone with half a mind can thwart and defeat.

* Pacifica from ''[[Scrapped Princess]]'' is only seemingly able to use her [[Make Me Wanna Shout|scream attack]] when under extreme stress.

* Emergy Maxfell of ''[[S-Cry-ed]]'' can only conjure his alter when he feels threatened, and it gets more powerful the more hopeless the situation gets.

** It should be noted that until they reach the level where they can control entering/exiting the Avatar State, the Avatar has very little direct control over their actions in the Avatar state at all. Aang unintentionally dished out some epic destruction on Earth Kingdom soldiers when a general provoked him into the transformation in an attempt to help/force him to master the state before he was ready. He also almost certainly killed more Fire Nation soldiers [[Fridge Horror|than he would ever be comfortable acknowledging]], back when he fused with the Ocean.

* The title character in ''[[The Iron Giant]]'' is a massive alien war machine that, due to damage caused during the initial landing on earth, is completely unaware of its true purpose. Unfortunately, the Giant's weapons and more destructive mindset can be triggered against its will if it perceives a threat.

* The Blowfish Avenger in ''[[The Tick]]''.

* The Blowfish Avenger in ''[[The Tick (animation)]]''.
