* [[spoiler: Cooan]] from ''Anime/SailorMoon'' is screaming and crying as she attacks the Senshi during her [[TearJerker heartwretching]] VillainousBreakdown. [[spoiler: She gets better, though]]

* In ''Anime/SailorMoon'', Usagi bursts into tears after failing to save her friends from being kidnapped by Rubeus, then angrily turns to Chibi-Usa for taking away her transformation broach and is on the verge of ''slapping'' her before Mamoru held her back.

* Asuna in ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi
'' has these when she snaps temporarily during her fight with Setsuna [[spoiler:due to Albireo picking at her brain and accidentally making her remember Gatou Vanderburg's death momentarily.]] It's only visible in one frame, though, because the rest of the time her face is [[HiddenEyes highly shadowed]].

* In ''Series/DrakeAndJosh'', Josh ends up late for his chemistry exam because of Drake, and when [[SadistTeacher Mr. Roland]] punishes him by [[DisproportionateRetribution making him take a make-up exam next Saturday at 6 A.M and dropping his grades]], Josh bursts into tears and angrily tries to tackle Drake on the spot for causing him to be tardy.

* In ''Series/DrakeAndJosh'', Josh ends up late for his chemistry exam because of Drake, and when Mr. Roland punishes him by making him take a make-up exam next Saturday at 6 A.M and dropping his grades, Josh bursts into tears and angrily tries to tackle Drake on the spot for causing him to be tardy.

* [[http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?&id=21293 Tears of Rage]] from ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering''. Berserker Tears. Which are made of [[IncendiaryExponent fire]]!

* ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist''

* Asuna in ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima'' has these when she snaps temporarily during her fight with Setsuna [[spoiler:due to Albireo picking at her brain and accidentally making her remember Gatou Vanderburg's death momentarily.]] It's only visible in one frame, though, because the rest of the time her face is [[HiddenEyes highly shadowed]].

* In chapter 12 of ''LightNovel/{{No 6}}'' Nezumi cries after Sion [[spoiler: gives him a good night kiss]].

* In the ''ComicBook/ElseworldsFinestSupergirlAndBatgirl'' story, ''Comicbook/{{Supergirl}}'' was crying when she [[spoiler:was going to kill ''Comicbook/LexLuthor'' to avenge [[Franchise/{{Superman}} her dead cousin]].]]

* [[spoiler: Wheatley]] from ''Videogame/Portal2'' is an odd example of this. He's a non-humanoid robot, meaning he ''physically cannot cry''. However, during the BossFight against him, he gets increasingly more unhinged as [[spoiler: you continue to corrupt him by placing cores on him]]. After placing [[spoiler: the third core]] on him, he starts to spout angry paranoid ramblings while [[spoiler: lobbing bombs at you]]. What makes this fit into this trope is that after a few sentences, ''his voice starts to break''. [[https://youtu.be/5UGiWGuOvOI?t=9m25s Here]] is the scene. Be careful though, it's ''very'' spoiler-heavy.

* Neku Sakuraba from VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou, after finding out that [[spoiler: Joshua really was the one to kill him]].

* ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha''

* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}''

* ''FanFic/ShinjiAndWarhammer40K'': Shed by [[OriginalCharacter Minase]] while she was [[spoiler:bashing the head of the guy who had just raped her]].

* The ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'' fanfic [[TearJerker Gav and Bob]] has this when the Ogryn Gav finally [[spoiler:beats the everloving s*** out of the Thousand Son who killed his best friend Bob]].
* In [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8177352/1/Phoenix-s-Inferno Phoenix's Inferno]], when Phoenix frees [[spoiler:a demonic Miles Edgeworth]] from the sin of pride, [[spoiler:Edgeworth begins to roar furiously before breaking down sobbing.]]

* In the climax of ''Hearts and Minds'' of the ''FanFic/FacingTheFutureSeries'', Danny and Sam are seriously ticked off while fighting Nocturne after he [[spoiler:trapped them in a dream world where their memories of each other were sealed away]].

* Superboy-Prime in ''ComicBook/InfiniteCrisis'' when the Titans swoop in to help the REAL Superboy.

* ComicBook/{{Ronin}} was once forced to kill a gang of punks. He shed a SingleTear before cutting them up.

* 11 year-old Ben Tennyson in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/Ben10Omniverse'' after Malware disintegrates Feedback. Then Ben proceeds to destroy him using the Omnitrix’s energy.

* During the third season premier of ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil'', Marco gets these as he [[spoiler: punches Toffee clean through the chest, in an attempt to avenge the now (presumed) dead Star.]]

* ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1942'': When Etta thinks Byrna Brilyant has killed Diana she tears up, and continues crying silently with the most angry expression she ever had in the Golden Age during the ensuing fight. Only Wonder Woman's intervention and revelation that Diana was still alive prevented the normally BoisterousBruiser from angrily trying to beat the inventor to death.

Sometimes this character cries with grief about what just happened that drove the character into the rage. Others show their [[DirtyBusiness regret]] about the [[ShootTheDog harm that they're doing]]. The trope requires a character more dangerous than a tantrum-throwing child, but the PsychopathicManchild, WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds, or a similar character may be extremely physically dangerous while being the kind of emotionally immature person who cries while he throws a (possibly well-provoked) violent temper tantrum. Occasionally, much like a ScreamingWarrior, they are just overwhelmed by wrath, fear, physical pain and plain horror of battle and the raw passion is too much to hold in. It's hard to tell.

Compare RoaringRampageOfRevenge, as that is huge motivation and invitation for this. Contrast TranquilFury and DissonantSerenity. See also: ManlyTears and BrokenTears.

* The Wardog Squadron from ''VideoGame/AceCombat5TheUnsungWar'', after [[spoiler: Chopper is killed in combat during a surprise air attack.]] Keep in mind that the Wardog Squadron was so badass, the enemy had named them "The Razgriz", after a mythological demon that is said to rain down death when he reveals himself. When the Yuktobanians actually [[spoiler: kill Chopper]], one of them comments "They're no demons, we can take them!" But shortly afterward, when Wardog starts slaughtering the remaining air force (softly sobbing over the radio while doing it), the Yuktobanians start screaming phrases like "So this is what those demons are REALLY like!" and "Did the demons take them over?!" as they get swatted out of the sky.

* 11 year-old Ben Tennyson in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/Ben10Omniverse''. after Malware disintegrates Feedback. Then Ben proceeds to destroy him using the Omnitrix’s energy.

* ''WesternAnimation/BuckyOHareAndTheToadWars'': After the toads stop him from reuniting with his (presumed dead) brother, Bruiser charges a huge formation of toads, unarmed, screaming with rage and grief and with tears streaming down his face.

* 'Manga/BattleAngelAlita'': Alita got these when she thought some thugs had killed Figure Four.

* In the 2018 adaptation of ''Manga/{{Devilman}}'', ''Anime/DevilmanCrybaby'', protagonist Akira Fudo is prone to crying. This borders on comedic once when Akira comes across some demons devouring a human. The demons, mistaking Akira for one of their own, tell Akira he is late, as they have nearly finished their meal. Akira immediately begins crying when he recognizes the watches one of the demons is wearing as having belonged to someone he knew, catching the demons off-guard as he transforms into Devilman and violently rips them to pieces.

* The whole concept of the ''Manga/CryingFreeman''.

** In ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaAs'', when the Wolkenritter desperately fight Nanoha and Fate near the end of the season. As does Reinforce while trying to kill Nanoha and Fate. And Vita while hunting Linker Cores after Hayate is hospitalized (complete with GrayRainOfDepression).
*** And TheMovie makes all of them even bigger {{Tear Jerker}}s.

* [[Manga/{{Gunnm}} Alita]] got these when she thought some thugs had killed Figure Four.
* Guts from ''{{Manga/Berserk}}'' gets these during Griffith's horrific crossing of the MoralEventHorizon at the end of the anime. More specifically, after he [[spoiler:''chisels off his own arm'' with a broken sword in order to attack Griffith while he is brutally raping Casca as Femto]]. [[HopeSpot After this attempt to save her fails]], Guts [[spoiler:can only cry streams of blood and tears as he is ForcedToWatch the horrific rape of his lover continue as he gets his right eye clawed out.]]

* When Kallen is trying to kill [[spoiler:Lelouch]] in episode 24 of ''Anime/CodeGeass R2'', there are tears in her eyes.

** Nina also does this during her FreakOut moment.

* Although you can't see it until right after the [[UnstoppableRage rage]] is over, it's apparent that Keiichi from ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'' was crying in the first arc [[spoiler:while beating Mion and Rena with his bat. Makes sense; he was [[TearsOfFear scared crapless]], and thus killed two of his best friends.]]

* ''Manga/FairyTail'': In episode 190, it happens to Natsu after [[spoiler: Future Rogue kills Future Lucy in front of him.]] And he wasn't just crying, he was [[GlowingEyesofDoom pissed]].

*** Koko explains that the tears 'wash out' her emotions, her love for her family - hence, heartlessly trying to kill her sisters.
---->'''Koko:''' So when the fight is over, she stays pure as ever. I think its that weird innocence of hers... that scares me more than the darkness in her.
** And Routier does this in chapter 47 of part 2 while attacking Yukari and Fong Fong.

* Pretty much any one of Creator/GoNagai's heroes does this. Probably the originators of the trope in anime, actually.

* ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}''
** This happens a lot in ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing''.
** [[AntiVillain Gaelio Bauduin]] in ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamIronBloodedOrphans'' brusted out his tears when he knew [[spoiler: his ChildhoodFriend [=McGillis=] [[EtTuBrute betrayed him]] by using Ein's pride to [[ManInTheMachine modify Ein into a Mobile Suit]] as well as [[UriahGambit abandoning Carta]] to have her killed by Mikazuki (whom she's [=McGillis=] lover, to add insult to injury, she called ''[=McGillis=]'s'' name in her dying breath when she's rescued by Gaelio) just to ensnare Gjallarhorn. And knowing that [=McGillis=] will marry Almiria, Gaelio is ''not'' pleased for seeing his nine year old sister's life being ruined by a treachous friend.]]

* Russia from ''Manga/AxisPowersHetalia'' does this in the Bloody Sunday strip, after a heartbreaking soliloquy and before opening fire on thousands of innocent civilians.

* ''Manga/FushigiYuugi'' has an example of this as well, with--tadaaaaa!--[[spoiler:Tamahome. Suboshi kills his family, so his powers elevate to a whole new level and he nearly kills the Seiryuu Seishi during his HeroicBSOD. About an hour or two later, Miaka finds him burying his family along with their gifts, and when he turns around, about '''six lines of tears''' were streaming down his face.]]
** The REALLY sad part? [[spoiler: Suboshi's twin, Amiboshi, wasn't even dead at that point, which was Suboshi's motive for going after Tamahome's family in the first place. Tamahome's family was killed for Amiboshi's death THAT DIDN'T EVEN HAPPEN.]]
* [[Anime/BirdyTheMighty Birdy]] combined this with ScreamingWarrior when she [[spoiler: trashed the robot that killed Violeen.]]
* As did Kagura in ''Anime/GaReiZero'' when she killed a bunch of demons after she [[spoiler: killed Yomi]]

** She also does this in chapter 352.
* ''Manga/AngelDensetsu'': "You should not hit a girl"

* [[BewareTheNiceOnes Gon Freecs]] in ''Manga/HunterXHunter''. [[spoiler: Somewhere, Kaito is crying.]]
** Also Killua in chapter 294.
* Given all the trauma the characters go through in ''Manga/ChronoCrusade'', it's a wonder this doesn't show up ''more'' often in the series. That being said, it does show up a few times--most notably when Joshua attacks Chrono in a rage after he finds out about his [[DealWithTheDevil contract]] with Rosette [[spoiler:after witnessing her dying in his arms]]. After his burst of rage he falls onto his knees, sobbing.

* ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' episode 7 shows [[spoiler:Sayaka]] crying Berserker Tears. [[TearsOfBlood Of blood]].
** Episode 10 shows another one: [[spoiler: Timeline 3 Mami couldn't handle the revelation that magical girls were doomed to become witches after seeing Sayaka become Oktavia, and sought to MercyKill the others with tears streaming down her face. Madoka as well, though she was able to hold her tears back long enough to stop Mami's rampage by killing her before she too bawls her eyes out.]]

* In ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'', when Simon starts crying Berserker Tears, the results are not just epic, but sometimes terrifying.
* ''Manga/KarakuridoujiUltimo'': Rune has these when fighting Yamato in chapter 11.

* [[http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?&id=21293 Tears of Rage]] from ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering''.
** Berserker Tears. Which are made of [[IncendiaryExponent fire]]!

* This happens in ''Fanfic/TheVow'' (a ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda2'' fanfic) to Master Storming Ox when [[spoiler:Master Thundering Rhino]] is killed by Lord Shen.

* Look VERY carefully, press pause frame by frame if you have to: [[Franchise/StarWars Anakin Skywalker lets tears roll down his cheeks after brutally murdering the Separatist Leaders on the volcanic planet of Mustafar.]]

* Creator/DavidLean's ''Film/LawrenceOfArabia''.

* Aileen's first kill in ''Monster''.

* Crying Wolf from ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4''. It's kind of her thing.
* Aishi the Mournful Blade, from ''VideoGame/JadeEmpire''.

* The protagonist of ''VideoGame/ImOk'' does this throughout the entire game.
* Heavy from VideoGame/TeamFortress2 wells up when talking about his gun Sacha, but he also commands the "babies" he's fighting to "cry some more".

** Also, [[spoiler:Flint]] does this too, after the great-granddaddy of all {{Tear Jerker}}s.

* Played with in ''VideoGame/TheBindingOfIsaac'': while the main character's weapon are his tears, he's clearly crying because he's terrified. Certian pickups, however, make him visibly angry, playing this trope straight.

* Whenever WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic gets frustrated.

* [[http://i.imgur.com/beFm2GU.png Seen very briefly with Yang]] in ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'', when she charges [[spoiler:Adam after he stabbed Blake.]]

* Dean Venture in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers''. That stupid bully had to snark on Triana...
** And before that, when Brock talked Hank through killing a shipload of Fake Ghost Pirates.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'', Beast Boy invokes this trope when it's revealed that Terra was working with Slade.
** Just about every Titan experienced this trope, at one point or another.

* In one particular episode of ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'', Aang is so distraught about [[TeamPet Appa]] being stolen that he goes into the [[UnstoppableRage Avatar State]] reflexively, creating a giant, destructive tornado from the desert sand - all while tears are streaming down his face. Katara manages to snap him out of it though.

** Katara does this as well while taking out a Fire Navy ship in "The Southern Raiders".

* [[spoiler: X-23]] of ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution'' got these. Poor dear, who could blame her?

* Kazuma from ''Anime/SCryed''.

* ''Manga/{{Naruto}}''

* Dick Dastardly does this at the end of the ''WesternAnimation/WackyRaces'' episode "Race Rally to Raleigh" after the Mean Machines falls into a missile-created chasm just short of the finish line:

-->'''Dastardly:''' (''pissed'') Oh, who wanted to win this old race, anyway? (''bursts into teary tantrum'') '''''I''''' did!!! '''''I''''' wanted to win the race!!! I ''never''get to win a race!!!

* Happens at one point in ''Anime/Pokemon'' when Jessie's hair gets cut off by Seviper, enraging her so much that she starts crying out of sheer unstoppable rage, and starting beating Seviper with extreme brutality, complete with [[GlowingEyesOfDoom glowing]] [[RedEyesTakeWarning red eyes]] on her very furious expression of her face. It gets to the point that [[EvenEvilHasStandards even James and Mewtwo are absolutely horrified]].
