* ''Manga/JujutsuKaisen'': In the rare instances he isn't [[TheWorfEffect severely outmatched]], [[PlayingWithFire Jogo]] is shown to be this. When he gets to [[spoiler: Nanami, Maki and Naobito's]] location after [[spoiler: Dagon's death,]] he instantly incinerates the whole group without giving any of them a chance to counterattack. And when he encounters [[spoiler: Nanako and Mimiko,]] he only asks them how many of [[spoiler: Sukuna's fingers they force-fed Yuji,]] and when they refuse to answer, he simply blasts them.

* Lockdown from ''Film/TransformersAgeOfExinction''. Arguably the most dangerous aspect of his personality. He does not waste time on boasting or dragging things out. He gets to the point ASAP.

* Feathers McGraw from ''WesternAnimation/WallaceAndGromit''. When Wallace or Gromit get in his way he just pulls his gun either to intimidate them into locking themselves into the closet or shoot at them.

** ''Anime/YuGiOhVRAINS'' has Ryoken Kogami/Revolver. Doesn't mess around when it comes to exterminating all the Ignis, not even bothering with the idea of co-existing with them. He challenges Playmaker as soon as he can to retrieve a captive Ai, first via a brainwashed Blue Angel then himself. After his loss, immediately created the Tower of Hanoi program with his father in an effort to wipe out the Ignis no matter where they are on the Internet. He also chastises Playmaker for still believing humans and AI can coexist when it's clear Lightning and Windy wants to control humanity, declaring that he will wipe them all before letting his lieutenants impale a defeated Windy with a virus program.

* Wrestling/TheRevival. Their motto is even "No Flips, Just Fists."
* Wrestling/TheAscension

* [[TheHeartless Robo-Rita Repulsa]] from ''Film/MightyMorphinPowerRangers:OnceAndAlways''. Robo-Rita is Rita's evil half with none of her good. As such, she's far more ruthless and willing to kill than the original. Not only does she kill Trini, her endgame is to go back in time and team up with her past self, then kill the rangers in their sleep before they can be recruited. In the finale, she tries to finish an unmorphed Billy off with the same One-Hit Kill spell she vaporized Trini with.

* Scourge from ''Film/TransformersRiseofTheBeasts''. While he's definitely bloodthirsty, Scourge seems to prefer the quick and easy way to get the job done, quickly killing Apelinq and Bumblebee and trying to do the same to Optimus Prime.

** Frieza is one when he is being methodical, or when he is pushed to his limits. ''Dragon Ball Minus'' reveals that he gathered all the Saiyans in Planet Vegeta to exterminate them all with his planet. Of course, his [[FatalFlaw overconfidence and sadism]] tend to limit this trait when he fights personally.

** Due to his relative unfamiliarity with how the Guild of Calamitous Intent operates, when serving as the Monarch's designated Archnemesis Jonas Jr. Venture took him seriously as a threat and was fully prepared to go for the kill until both the Monarch and Brock tell him that he's forced to [[ContractualGenreBlindness play by the rules]] lest he faces severe retaliation from the Guild. Needless to say, he finds this all ridiculous.
** While Sgt. Hatred lacks the overt brutality and talent for violence that Brock has, when serving as the Venture bodyguard he makes up for it in pragmatism. He not only sets up a proper security system but has no compunction against shooting enemies (whereas Brock prefers to get in close for the kill). As such, the Monarch's henchmen states that Hatred is arguably even more of a pain to deal with than Brock.
** When the Monarch is downgraded in the Guild's threat index and ordered to stop being Rusty Venture's ArchEnemy, Monarch becomes one of these out of sheer rage and annoyance because of his utter obsession with "arching" Rusty. Cue a montage of [[HeroKiller Monarch massacring every other hero he is assigned to Arch within seconds of their face-off]].

* This is a [[https://www.reddit.com/r/CurseofStrahd/comments/eekl2g/the_genresavvy_strahd_a_guide_to_running_combat/ popular]] [[https://www.reddit.com/r/CurseofStrahd/comments/8ts5bg/my_notes_on_running_strahd_like_an_unholy_terror/ choice]] for how to play the [[AntagonistTitle main villain]] of [[TabletopGame/CurseOfStrahd Curse of Strahd]]. Although even in that case he will just play with the heroes at first; the gloves don't come off until they're strong enough to pose an actual threat.

* Nolan Grayson aka Omni-Man from ''WesternAnimation/Invincible2021''. Trying to defeat the Guardians, he wastes no time in cold-bloodedly murdering them, exchanging no words, and focusing on killing as many as he can. In the episode after, he commits a total genocide on the Flaxans to eliminate their threat to his plans without wasting any time.

** The Red Lotus from Season Three ([[EmpoweredBadassNormal Zaheer]], [[MagmaMan Ghazan]], [[AxCrazy Ming-Hua]] and [[ColdSniper P'Li]]). Much like Amon and the Equalists, the Red Lotus are dangerously competent villains. As shown in their kidnapping attempt on Korra, they infiltrate Zaofu with no one noticing, incapacitate Korra without raising any alarms, and only fail to get back out because Pabu happened to catch them and alert Bolin. After losing Korra in the subsequent fight, they cut their losses and retreat.
** [[ANaziByAnyOtherName Kuvira]] from Season Four. In "Kuvira's Gambit", upon seeing Team Avatar while piloting the Colossus, she immediately fires on them with the cannon. And during their second fight, she doesn't taunt Korra at any point and focuses solely on the fight.

** King Sombra is TheSilentBob, wastes no chances to GemstoneAssault the Crystal Empire, [[spoiler:hid the Crystal Heart behind CrazyPrepared traps '''''centuries''''' ago, and quickly rushes Spike upon seeing him with the Heart]]. Suitably, his episode(s) treat(s) him as an AdvancingWallOfDoom, putting our heroes in a RaceAgainstTheClock.
** Similarly in his [[BadFuture Bad Alternate Future]] segment in ''The Cutie Remark'', it's shown he wasted ''no'' time sticking it to Equestria. As soon as he had completely seized the Crystal Empire he forcibly conscripted the innocent citizens into an army using [[SlaveCollar mind-controlling helmets]] and went on the attack. It takes everything Equestria has to even hold him at bay, let alone actually put up a fight.
** And again in the Season 9 premiere when he's brought back from the dead. He heads straight for the Crystal Empire, only briefly slowing down to brainwash himself up an army along the way, storms the palace, kicks Cadance and Shining Armor's asses by taking Flurry Heart hostage, and takes the Crystal Heart for himself. When the Mane Six show up to fight him he ''immediately'' goes for his best attacks, and when he realizes he can't stand up to the Elements of Harmony, he fakes his death so he can follow the Six to the source and destroy the elements themselves. With that destroyed, he immediately sets his sights on Ponyville, and then Canterlot, taking them both down in no time at all. When faced with Discord who he realizes he can't beat, the second he figures out Discord likes Fluttershy he aims for her forcing Discord to [[TakingTheBullet throw himself in the way]]. Though he does a bit of gloating along the way he remains deadly focused the entire time, and manages to not only conquer two entire kingdoms in a single day but would have also gotten a decisive victory against the Mane Six had they not at the last possible second gotten a new EleventhHourSuperpower.
** Tirek hams it up a little but generally is cold and goal orientated, taking what he wants and moving on with little interest in gloating or boasting. Unlike many of the other villains he's also quite happy to get physical with his opponents, and overwhelming firepower is his ''first'' resort.
** Similarly, though having to keep up her facade as a loving town leader forces her to give way to a ''little'' nonsense, deep down Starlight Glimmer does ''not'' dick around in ''The Cutie Map''. Though she tries to get the Mane Six to join her willingly, she is instantly suspicious of them and tasks members of her village into spying on them, and by the time they decided to dig too deeply into how she was removing cutie marks it turns out she had anticipated that, already laid a trap, and effortlessly imprisons them, intent on bombarding them with sleep deprivation and propaganda until they break.

* Emperor Belos from ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse''. Once he no longer needs Luz alive to complete the StableTimeLoop, he wastes little time moving against the Owl House and its inhabitants, with Eda and Lilith forced to flee after a massive Emperor's Coven assault offscreen. The only reason he doesn't do more is that he's preparing for the Day of Unity. This is further supported in his battle with the Hexsquad in "Thanks to Them", as he takes full advantage of the fact that he is currently possessing Hunter to get in free attacks at them with little fear of full retaliation due to the Hexsquad not wanting to harm Hunter.

*** Similar to the above were the Ultra Robots and the Daughters of Aku, both of whom managed to overwhelm Jack and force him to retreat in their initial encounters. Unlike the Minions of Set, however, Jack does manage to defeat them himself.
** [[spoiler:Once Jack finally makes it back to his time, he immediately goes to finish off the weakened Aku as quickly as possible, attacking him without pause and giving the latter no time to process what's going on nor any opportunity to escape with his life. Considering how Aku sent him to the future in the first place because he wasted too much time in dealing the finishing blow, and Jack now has 50 years more experience, [[JustifiedTrope this makes sense]].]]

* ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil'': Toffee. Unlike [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain Ludo or his henchmen]], Toffee doesn't gloat, monologue, or waste time. He has a plan, and he carries it out with calm, calculated efficiency. He doesn't care if that means [[WouldHurtAChild kidnapping, or even murdering, children]]. To him, it's all just one more step towards accomplishing his [[HiddenAgendaVillain mysterious goals]]. Whereas ''nobody'' takes Ludo seriously, ''everyone'', straight up to the Mewni Royal Family, [[TheDreaded is scared of Toffee]].
* Grand Admiral Thrawn of ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels'' is one of the most dangerous enemies of the Rebel Alliance. His plans include building squadrons of TIE Defenders more powerful than any rebel starfighters and locating the rebel base on Atollon, pinning them down with his Interdictor cruisers and making escape all but impossible. The only reasons his plans fail are [[SurroundedByIdiots the incompetence of his subordinates]] and the arrival of game-changing factors that [[DidntSeeThatComing he has no way of anticipating]].
* [[GeneralRipper Yellow Diamond]] from ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse''. Apart from her concise and business-like attitude, once she sees Steven on the battlefield, she immediately goes in for the kill.

* Dr. Tolian Soran from ''Film/StarTrekGenerations''. Soran is entirely unswayed by Captain Picard's usual attempted moral speech to talk him out of what he is doing, easily defeats him in a fist fight and succeeds in his EvilPlan to enter the Nexus. In the process, his machinations are responsible for the destruction of the Enterprise-D and the death of Captain James T. Kirk.
