Line 21:
* In ''[[Naruto]]'', main character Uzumaki Naruto fits this to a tee, with one noticeable (read: glaring) example when against the Demon Brothers. Before and after that, he pretty much leaps into danger with a smile, ready to punch or (as necessary) headbutt his enemies without fear of his own safety. He matures somewhat post-[[Time Skip]] though. Who could have predicted that ninjas would leap out of hiding and attack you?! It seems so un-ninja-like!
* ''[[One Piece]]'': The hero Monkey D. Luffy is pretty much the embodiment of this trope. He charges headlong into dangers great or small without once thinking of his own wellbeing. This includes leading a small army in a siege against the World Government stronghold Enies Lobby, {{spoiler|punching out a World Noble, who are treated as walking Gods, engaged in a battle in the [[Alcatraz]] known as Impel Down, headed to the Marine Headquarters with a large group of dangerous convicts to fight the entire Navy!}}<br /><br />One of the only things Luffy is shown to be scared of is ''his own grandfather'' {{spoiler|Marine Vice-Admiral Garp}}, due to the fact that he was raised by him in near-constant [[Training From Hell]] and [[Megaton Punch|Punches of Love.]]
* Claire Stanfield from ''[[Baccano!]]'' not only knows no fear ([[Mook Horror Show|apart from the fear of Claire he puts in others]]), he has managed to convince himself that he's ''immortal'' (despite being one of the [[Badass Normal|few characters that aren't]]) simply because he can't imagine what it'd be like to be dead.
* ''[[Saint Seiya]]'': The hero Pegasus Seiya has no sense of self-preservation whatsoever, often veers into [[Too Dumb to Live]] territory and will happily sacrifice his life on multiple occasions for his friends/goddess. When asked how he manages to keep on living, he most often responds with 'I don't know'. To this troper's knowledge, he's never been visibly afraid of anyone-not enough to say so, anyway.
* Yuuri Shibuya of ''[[Kyo Kara Maoh!|Kyo Kara Maoh]]''.
Line 103:
* Alan Davies on ''[[QI]]'', whose job is to leap in with the obvious answers where a wiser panelist might hesitate. Has been working in his favor lately, as the panelists have started to assume the obvious answer will be incorrect and go to great lengths to avoid giving it -- when it was correct all along, giving Alan easy points.
* Arguably, Mulder of ''[[The X-Files]]''. He tends to rush into dangerous situations without thinking, leading to several instances in which Scully has to come save his butt.
* In the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' serial "[[Doctor Who/Recap/S10 E4/E04 Planet of the Daleks|Planet of the Daleks]]", the Doctor explains to a Thal, a fellow captive, that his heroic action of leading off the enemy was heroic despite his fear, and that everyone else who does heroic things is the same.
