Line 90:
* ''[[Busou Renkin]]'' has a good chunk of rage, with {{spoiler|a Victorized Kazuki duking it out with Victor.}} There's also Tokiko, who pumps rage through her veins instead of blood.
* In ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'' Simon flies into one in the middle of taking over the Dai-Gunzan when {{spoiler|Kamina appears to have died}}. He then releases so much Spiral Energy that the whole ship starts to glow, blows all the [[Mook|Mooks]] out of the ship, and he ''sets off a nearby volcano''. It took [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!|a whalloping]] from Kamina to get him out of it.
* ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]'': In episode 5, Sagara and Tsubaki ''really'' piss off the school janitor, who transforms in to a [[Chainsaw Good|chainsaw-wielding]] monstrosity that [[Offhand Backhand|easily fends off]] their combined attacks, swallows hand grenades, and chases them around the school like puppies.
* Hamel in ''[[Violinist of Hameln]]'', when he transforms into a monster.
* ''[[One Piece]]''. Pressing any of the [[Beware the Nice Ones|Straw Hats']] [[Berserk Button|Berserk Buttons]] will inevitably lead to this.
Line 214:
* In the ''[[Firefly]]'' fic ''[[Forward]]'', Jayne flies into one of these when {{spoiler|River [[Taking the Bullet|takes a bullet for him]] during the assault by Niska's goons.}} It is described as Jayne "seeing ''red''." Jayne periodically has these moments throughout the story, when his anger overrides good sense. Later on, River goes into one of these rages when {{spoiler|a Hand of Blue shoots Simon}}, and in the resulting scene {{spoiler|reduces his face to hamburger by repeatedly stabbing it in a hysterical, savage frenzy.}}
* Logan Wright from ''[[Dalton]]'' has some rather serious anger issues, causing him to violently lash out at virtually everyone on a semi-regular basis.
* [[Papa Wolf|Blaze]] from ''[[The Legend of Spyro: aA New Dawn (Fanfic)|The Legend of Spyro a New Dawn]]'' enters this when {{spoiler|the curse preventing him from helping his daughter fight [[The Dragon|the Warden]] is broken. He shoots the Warden a [[Death Glare]], plows straight through everything between him and his target (including the cage he was in and [[Foe-Tossing Charge|a mob of Gargoyles]]), and sends the Warden flying clear across the room twice in a row. He then leads the former slaves and his daughter in a [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown]] on the Warden, ending it by blasting the Warden through a wall. Do not mess with Blaze's daughter!}}
* [[A Hero]] gives us Dalek Sec, who's like this. All the time. Considering [[Omnicidal Maniac|the general disposition of his species]], this is actually an improvement.
* [[Ultimate Sleepwalker (Fanfic)|Sleepwalker]] will explode into this trope when confronted with his [[Arch Enemy]] Cobweb, who trapped him on Earth, or his [[Evil Counterpart]] Psyko, who murdered the parents of his [[Heroic Host]] Rick Sheridan. Sleepwalker's anger typically pushes him beyond his normal limits when dealing with Psyko, although even then the result is a bloodbath from which Sleepwalker typically emerges more dead than alive. An unusual twist on this trope is that Cobweb has also played on Sleepwalker's anger to manipulate him into losing focus and making bad decisions that would get him killed...at least until Rick serves as a [[Spanner in the Works]] and sets Sleepy straight.
* [[I Am Not Weasel|Pterosaurs are not Dinosaurs.]] [[Rise of the Galeforces|Adam Squall]] is a [[Ptero-Soarer|pterosaur]]. He flies into one of these whenever somebody calls him one.
* In ''[[Ace Combat: The Equestrian War]]'', when [[Blood Knight|Night Raven]] tells Fluttershy he fights and kills the ponies not because he hates them, but because he sees it as "fun", she becomes ''furious''.
Line 289:
** The part of the Will he guards, which symbolizes Justice, has anger issues as well, spitting in the face of someone during a parley.
* ''[[Darkest Powers]]'': Although Derek [[Nerves of Steel|keeps his cool]] when he's the one in danger of being seriously hurt, possibly tortured, or killed, the same does not hold true when other people are at risk. Being a werewolf, Derek's rational mind will shut down and give way to pure "protect my pack" instinct when [[Berserk Button|the tiny number of people he actually cares about are in danger]]. At least one person is already spending the rest of his life regretting having threatened Derek's brother.
* Mrs. Weasley shows a bit of this in ''[[Harry Potter (Franchise)/Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows|Harry Potter]]'' with her famous line "NOT MY DAUGHTER YOU BITCH!" followed by the death of a certain loyal female Death Eater. That proves never to mess with one of Mrs. Weasley's children. (This includes Harry, who earlier in the series she outright declared was her own son in all but blood.)
** Hagrid may be a [[Gentle Giant]], but if you do manage to get him into a real temper you'll find out that he's partially immune to spell damage and has more than enough strength to take down five armed attackers with his bare hands.
** For the villains' side, if you bring Voldemort bad news... [[Shoot the Messenger|he'll flip out and indiscriminately kill ANYONE who happens to just be hanging around.]]
Line 435:
** In the Shivering Islands, Sheogorath has a few of these, though they are mostly funny.
** Though you don't see it, Falcar supposedly had one before leaving the Mages Guild in Cheydenhal.
* Somewhat used for Don Flamenco in the Wii version of ''[[Punch -Out!!]]''. When you knock his toupee off his head, he will get so pissed that he will constantly throw punches at you until he goes down, you go down, or if the round ends.
* You only see Axel do this twice in ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]''.
