Hair-Trigger Temper: Difference between revisions

Line 23:

* ''[[Bleach]]'':

** Mayuri Kurotsuchi, the unhinged [[Mad Scientist]], has something of a hair-trigger temper. This was extremely prevalent in his early appearances, where he flew off the handle at the most minute of provocations, [[Kick the Dog|which he often took out on his daughter]]. He ''has'' chilled out significantly since then, however, and while he is still [[Jerkass|callous]] and easily annoyed, [[Poke the Poodle|he handles it a lot better]]. This has resulted in a running joke amongst the fandom that [[Five-Man Band|the]] [[True Companions|heroes]] simply broke into Soul Society on one of Mayuri's bad days.

::When Ichigo calls him by his name without any honorifics, he lets it slide with only a small complaint, causing the other captains present to comment that he must be in a very good mood to be so lenient.

** A huge part of the Vizard [[Drill Sergeant Nasty|Kensei Muguruma's]] personality. When first meeting the Vizards, Orihime nervously asked where the bathroom was. Love and Lisa had to restrain him from hurting her out of pure irritation. Let's also consider how he comforts a child who almost got killed by a Hollow: [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|"Smile, dammit!"]]

::Which makes it hilarious that his lieutenant happens to be [[The Ditz|a ditzy,]] [[Adult Child|tantrum-throwing]], superhero-imitating girl who is either ridiculously cheerful or freaking out over trivial things like sesame-topped rice balls. Characters who hurt her, though, regret it.

** The biggest example in the series is Hiyori Sarugaki. She hates everyone, and takes offense at nearly anything the other characters say to her. She even once jumpkicked Shinji for literally no reason before telling him that she wasn't going to apologize.

* Eiri Yuki from ''[[Gravitation]]'' has this sort of temper with boyfriend Shuichi whenever he's trying to mess with the guy's head. In a slight subversion, however, Shuichi catches on to this ploy pretty quickly. That's not to say that he's any good at defending against it though.

* Yanagin in ''[[Daily Lives of High School Boys]]'' maybe a [[Distaff Counterpart]] to Hidenori in that they're both bookish, [[Genre Savvy]] and a bit of a [[Big Ham]]—what's different is Yanagin has a hair-trigger temper (and punches out Ikushima a lot in the process).

* [[Hot Scientist]] and [[Knight Templar Big Brother]] Souichi Tatsumi from the [[Boys Love]] manga ''[[Challengers]]'' and ''[[The Tyrant Falls in Love]]'' had viewed every action of his [[Invisible to Gaydar]] lab assistant as a transparent attempt to get him into bed from his [[Anguished Declaration of Love]] onwards. His suspicions weren't entirely unfounded, but on the whole Morinaga suffers the brunt of his anger unnecessarily. His [[Big Brother Instinct|overprotective]] and homophobic traits also cause his little brother's boyfriend, Kurokawa, to suffer greatly - on hearing the news that Tomoe's married him in Los Angeles, he threatens to fly over there to murder Kurokawa and single-handedly take down the USA for being so "perverted" as to allow gays to marry in the first place. And it's all [[Played for Laughs]].
