* [[Dragonball Z]] is a subversion of sorts, as usually such characters clench their fists BECAUSE of the exhertion required to channel their incredible amounts of power. Played straight by Goku when fighting Frieza, and by Gohan when fighting Perfect Cell however.

* [[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]: In an interesting usage, throughout the series there are repeated shots of Shinji's hands as his fingers curl as if trying and failing to make a fist. {{spoiler|In the final episode of the TV series, as he finally declares "My life is worth living here!", he makes a real fist. The walls of the dark "playroom" around him shatter, to reveal him surrounded by the rest of the cast, all congratulating him under a blue sky.}}

* [[To Aru Majutsu no Index|Touma]] always clenches his [[Anti-Magic|right hand]] into a fist before he says he will [[Catch Phrase|shatter someone's illusions]].

* L of ''[[Death Note]]'' does this after his first defeat, as he resolves to show his face to the task force. (Light also does it in the ''Rewrite'' movies - not to reflect any real emotion, just as part of one of his many [[Bastardly Speech]]es.)

* Guts from ''[[Berserk]]'' does this surprisingly not during his [[Screw Destiny]] speech at the end of the Golden Age Arc (which led into his [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]), but during his [[My Greatest Second Chance]] declaration at the beginning of the Retribution Arc.
