Line 38:
* In [[Fist of the North Star]], Shin unintentionally does this to Kenshiro. After thoroughly defeating him, Shin gloats to Kenshiro that the difference between the two is that Shin is filled with ambition and Kenshiro isn't. Kenshiro took this to heart, and by the second encounter it's the other way around, with Kenshiro burning with anger and ambition to save Yuria against a broken Shin from {{spoiler|Yuria's apparent suicide.}} The fight barely lasted 10 minutes.
* One ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'' strip has Greece trying to get the polite and soft-spoken Japan to become angry. He succeeds by telling him to think about wasting his money.
* Basically the conspiracy's goal in [[Fullmetal Alchemist (anime)|the 2003 anime version]] of ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]'', which seeks to make a powerful alchemist angry, callous or desperate enough where they're willing to {{spoiler|fulfil the primary production requirement of the [[Philosopher's Stone]]: sacrificing thousands of human lives}}. This approaches [[Break the Cutie]] levels for [[Reluctant Warrior
* In ''[[Pluto]]'', Dr. Tenma teaches Atom hatred in a desperate attempt to {{spoiler|awaken him from his coma. It works, and the extra hatred gives Atom the ability to fight Pluto.}}
{{quote|{{spoiler|'''Atom:''' You may be a seething mass of hatred. But my hatred is greater by far.}}}}

* ''[[Family Guy]]'' does this when Peter decides to train Cleveland after his wife leaves him for Quagmire. It has unfortunates results as Cleveland rampages around Quagmire's house chasing him and revealing beds that pop out whenever he hits something. [[Hilarity Ensues]] but Cleveland finally snaps out of it and goes back to being his old self.
** [[Downer Ending|Oh, yeah, except he's
*** He [[Second Love|falls in love and gets married again]], and it [[The Cleveland Show|sticks]].
** At one point (deleted scene?) Peter tries to do this to a bunch of stereotypical British kids. His final solution is to show them the American version of [[The Office]].
Line 114:
* Toph on ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'', due to [[Personality Powers]], has to teach Aang to use the head on, straight forward approach of Earthbending instead of his dodging, nimble approach with Airbending. Her [[Drill Sergeant Nasty]] tactics involve [[Freud Was Right|grabbing his (bag of) nuts]] and stealing his [[Iconic Item|staff]] to make him angry enough to stand up to her.
{{quote|'''Toph:''' Rock is a stubborn element. If you're going to move it, you've gotta be like a rock yourself.}}
** Inverted with... Well, EVERYTHING Uncle Iroh was trying to teach Zuko. Pretty much every other proud Fire Nation warrior used the purely aggressive style of fire bending, meaning
* Accidentally invoked by Megatron on ''[[Beast Wars]]'' when Scorpinok's mind-altering bug took away Optimus Primal's self-control and inner peace. His reasoning was that Optimus' calm exterior was a facade for a cowardly streak, but in fact it was a safety mechanism to control his [[Unstoppable Rage]]. With his peace removed, Optimus goes on a [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]], taking out the entire Predacon force single-handed before the Maximals manage to remove the bug that was slowly killing him. [[Beware the Nice Ones]] indeed.
* Plankton attempts to invoke this on [[SpongeBob SquarePants]] as part of a [[Batman Gambit]] to make Goo Lagoon a site for a new Chum Bucket. Spongebob, in response, decides to be "aggressively nice".
