** Hanzo is insanely feared. How feared, you ask? So feared that the reason The Sannin are revered worldwide is because they fought him to a ''draw''. They didn't win, mind you - they fought him to a draw, and that alone is worthy of the title "legendary".

Garp is also feared by his grandchildren though, but not because of his reputation. It's because of the TrainingFromHell he subjected them to during their HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood.

* The Irregulars from ''TowerOfGod''. Normally, people who climb the Tower to get their deepest desire fulfilled have to be Chosen and are invited as Regulars. Not these guys. They came and kicked the metaphysical doors open by themselves and every time that happened, the Tower underwent drastic changes. Five Irregulars are known. One was a man-made god who defeated the [[AuthorityEqualsAsskicking entire]] [[WorldOfBadass ruling structure]] of the Tower and then simply disappeared. Before him came a person who slew a PhysicalGod and could create life. The third followed the former into the Tower, climbed it ten times faster than anyone else[[note]] it took him 50 years[[/note]] and built a NGOSuperpower that rivals the government. The fourth one was almost completely immune to magic and could copy any spell on sight. And the last one [[spoiler: was an incredibly normal girl who stabbed her best friend in the back]]. People are not very fond of Irregulars. They are afraid of them.
* In ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'', Orochimaru has this effect on people, freaking out even the likes of [[TortureTechnician Ibiki Morino]].
** [[AGodAmI Pain]]. Jiraiya nearly shat himself when he heard that Pain had defeated Hanzo,who a younger Jiraiya had failed to defeat even with the support of his team. He goes to his Super Mode to counter Pain's power [[spoiler: but sadly it's not enough, as he didn't have enough information on it.]] Sometime later Pain makes the whole of Konoha wet their pants [[spoiler: when he effortlessly destroys the village]].

He's recognizable by his [[IconicOutfit bartender clothes]] ([[MementoMacguffin even if he isn't one anymore]]), and Tom thinks that anyone who lives in Ikebukuro but doesn't know him are probably public school dropouts.
* ''"Oh shit! It's the Teacher!"'' from ''TheSkyCrawlers''.
* Evangeline A. K. [=McDowell=] from ''MahouSenseiNegima'' qualifies. She has a bounty of millions upon her head, and most people are terrified by her. An example can be seen in Anya's reaction to discovering that Evangeline, [[RedBaron the Queen of the Night, the Doll Master, the Maga Nosferatu, the Apostle of Destruction]], [[spoiler:is teaching Negi magic]]. "She's gonna eat me alive!"
** [[BigBad The Lifemaker]] also counts. Even the most {{Badass}} people in a WorldOfBadass such as Jack Rakan and the aforementioned Evangeline fear him.
* Great Demon King Chestra, the BigBad of ''ViolinistOfHameln'' manga, inspires this reaction both through his reputation and his magical power. The entire armies are literally frozen in terror by his mere presence, [[TheDeterminator implacably courageous]] characters doubt aloud whether they have a slightest chance against him, and greatest heroes of humanity see him in nightmares even after he is defeated.
* Seiichirou Kitano from ''Manga/AngelDensetsu'' has this sort of rep. [[FriendToAllLivingThings He]] [[TheMessiah really doesn't deserve it]].
* Erza Scarlet in ''Manga/FairyTail'' is a rare heroic example. The entire guild freaks when it's announced she's returned from a mission, and nobody dares step out of line when she's around. Even Natsu and Gray stop bickering and pretend to be best friends.

* Yuu from ''{{Holyland}}'' wants to become this so that the bullies and gangsters will stop making trouble for him. It's not working out yet.
* Zebra from ''{{Toriko}}''. The entire world panics when he is released from prison. Just news of his release causes massive economic and social upheaval. And he hasn't even ''done'' anything yet.
** What he DID do to get him into prison was [[spoiler: Cause the extinction of 26 SPECIES. Said species were damaging the ecosystem, but still!]]
** The Four Beasts -- four vicious Gourmet World creatures that prey ''exclusively'' on humans -- are so terrifying that news of their return causes a panic that dwarfs the upheaval caused by Zebra's release.
* The Tokiwadai Dorm Manager in ''Anime/ToAruMajutsuNoIndex'', well actually ''Manga/ToAruKagakuNoRailgun'' to be precise.
** Accelerator in ''ToAruMajutsuNoIndex'' has this effect as well, just his arrival can scare the hell out of anyone who might have pissed him off.
** Touma also has this effect to the magic side, to the point many magical organizations start sending assassins after him. All fail. The Kihara's of the science side may also have this reaction to him.
* The Wretched Egg (a.k.a. the 'Red Man') in Main/DeadmanWonderland is probably '''the''' reason guards in the prison might actually have a lower survival rate than [[RedShirt Red Shirts]]. There's a collective panic every time the Mother Goose System shuts off for any reason, and about the best you can hope for when crossing the Red Man's path is the opinion that you're more fun alive than dead, as was the case with [[TheHero Ganta]] and [[BigBad Hagire Rinichiro]]. So, of course, you can imagine Ganta's shock when he finds out [[spoiler:that the same person who massacred his entire classroom, killed his best friend, gave him his Branch of Sin, and was responsible for everything in his life sucking was actually his childhood friend Shiro's SuperpoweredEvilSide, born from hellish, torturous experiments performed on her to unlock her full powers, and its awakening and subsequent gory slaughter of the scientists who experimented on her traumatized Ganta so much that he made himself forget Shiro even existed]].
* [[BigBad Johan Liebert]] is this in ''Anime/{{Monster}}'', and FOR GOOD REASON!!! Anyone who has any knowledge of him (who's still alive that is) will generally begin to shake uncontrollably even thinking about him.
** A psychopathic serial killer even kills himself when he's shown a picture of him.
** When [[spoiler:Anna]], his own flesh and blood, confronts him with the intent on killing him, she falls to pieces as soon as he says hello and [[spoiler:tries to kill herself]].
** Nina/Anna herself, insofar as [[ThoseWackyNazis the Baby]] is left with a sense of permanent terror at her memory after an [[BringMyBrownPants earlier encounter with her]].
* In ''Manga/RurouniKenshin'' this is a common reaction to finding out the title character was once the legendary Hitokiri Battousai (this title, by the way, translates loosely as "Slays Men Just by Drawing His Sword").
* '''[[MemeticMutation "IT'S A]] {{GUNDAM}}!!!"''' - inspiring this reaction in enemy {{Mooks}} since 1979.
** Char Aznable, for the Federation. Witness the sheer panic that ensues in the original series whenever a red mobile suit shows up among the attacking forces.
*** Such is Char's reputation that any sight of a red mobile suit (save mass production types like the Marasai and the Rick Dias) will cause people to automatically assume Char's the pilot. As a side note, one of the more comical side effects of this pertains to fellow Zeon ace Johnny Ridden; as Johnny also pilots red mobile suits (such that his ace nickname is the "Crimson Lightning"), he's pretty much forced to live under Char's shadow (much to Johnny's detriment) as Federation pilots can't tell the difference between their machines[[hottip:*:Johnny's MS tend to be painted in a crimson red with black trim, whereas Char's are either straight red or have accompanying pink...er, ''salmon'' trim]].
*** After ''CharsCounterattack'', the Federation was so afraid of Char possibly returning from the dead that [[spoiler:Neo Zeon created Full Frontal, a Cyber Newtype modeled after Char's likeness and artificially indued with Char's memories, which were salvaged from the Sazabi's remains. While it was never made publicly clear in universe whether Full Frontal was Char or not, his presence was enough that he was dubbed the Second Coming of the Red Comet, and the Federation feared him as much as they feared the original.]]
*** Amuro Ray (the original Gundam pilot) was equally feared by both the Federation and Zeon remnants, if only for his raw Newtype powers and combat prowess; generally, whereas red mobile suits were automatically assumed to be piloted by Char, Gundams were automatically assumed to be piloted by Amuro (for a time anyway). In fact, the Federation was so afraid of the mere possibility of Amuro turning against them that they [[spoiler:placed him under permanent house arrest in Wyoming]]; naturally, this did nothing to keep Amuro from escaping and joining the [[LaResistance Karaba]] later on.
* The three Admirals of ''OnePiece'' are this for most pirates. Only the strongest of pirates don't immediately run screaming at the mere ''sight'' of an Admiral. And with good reason, considering all three are [[ImplacableMan nigh-invulnerable]] elementals with abilities that cause massive devastation.
** Other high-ranking marines with a sufficient reputation can also become this, such as Vice-Admiral Smoker.
** Whitebeard’s sole declaration of ownership of an island is enough to keep it out of harm’s ways and people with his mark on their back are deemed untouchable, because he is famed for going on RoaringRampageOfRevenge against anyone, who has laid even one finger on his crewmen. Many characters have an OhCrap moment, when they hear that the World Government [[spoiler: decided to publicly execute Portgas D. Ace,]] which means an open declaration of war against the WorldsStrongestMan.
** Other pirates of sufficient power can be this trope. The people of Fish-Man Island become terrified when they realize how close they are to experiencing the wrath of someone on Whitebeard's level of power. The marines of G-5 (a navy branch full of [[{{Jerkass}} jerkasses]] that love to torture pirates and refuse to obey headquarters) panic at seeing Trafalgar Law, a member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea who sent the Government a hundred hearts to join. Back in the East Blue, people are scared of the idea of pirates like Krieg and Arlong coming.
*** In fact, Luffy himself (and by extension, his crew), have already hit this status, especially if you account in his bounty. He would be feared in every sea in the world ''except'' the New World, and even then he already made an impression there.
*** Case and Point: Luffy's at Corrida Colosseum for a TournamentArc while wearing a ridiculous PaperThinDisguise that manages to fool everybody. There, while speaking with one of the other competitors, Luffy (being Luffy), forgets that he's incognito and proceeds to give out his real name. Everybody immediately freaks out, and only calm down when they see the sign on the back of his shirt say 'Lucy,' along with remembering rumors about him being an eight-meter tall giant. Luffy's become so infamous that literally anybody who isn't at the strength level of the Seven Warlords of the Sea (who are notable New World ''veterans'') instantly fears him.
** Strangely, out of all of the current members of the Four Emperors, the one that stands out the most as this trope is the one who hasn't made an official appearance in the manga yet: Kaido. [[spoiler:He managed to scare the hell out of ''Doflamingo''. He actually decided to step down as a Warlord, getting the aforementioned Admirals on his ass, rather than make him mad.]].
** Don't forget about Luffy's father, Dragon. He hasn't done much of anything in the series proper yet and he's still known as "The most dangerous man in the world".
* [[spoiler:Seimei]] of ''{{Loveless}}'' is definitely the most feared of the series. Usually used with a pretty little topping of OhCrap. What makes him even more creepy is that just about this entire trope applies to him. The FearlessFool does indeed cry in fear, and ThePollyanna does indeed despair over TheStoic being defeated, who also lost his cool. In fact, his appearance alone isn't the ''only'' way he causes genuine fear - he uses words to, effectively, freak. People. Out.
* In ''FistOfTheNorthStar'', Kenshiro is known to most of his enemies as "the Man with the Seven Scars", and mentioning this nickname is sometimes enough to make the mooks run in terror. And given what generally [[YourHeadASplode happens to those]] who [[MuggingTheMonster mess with him]] or [[ThisIsUnforgivable piss him off]], this fear is very, very justified.
* Guts from ''{{Berserk}}'' is this when he was known as the Hundred-Man Slayer before the Eclipse, and post-Eclipse when he is now known as The Black Swordsman.
** Nosferatu Zodd is well-respected/feared by mercenaries as the "god of the battlefield". And they don't even know that he's a powerful demonic Apostle.
* By the second half of ''Manga/DeathNote'', Kira has become such a terrifying entity that merely the presence of Kira has changed the world on a global scale. Crime rates have dropped significantly, simply out of the fear of being murdered by a judge outside of the legal system. When [[spoiler: Near corners Light]] at the end of the series, he even notes that he's not the judge of good and evil, and that Kira may have changed the world for the better with fear.
* During the final arc of ''{{Eyeshield 21}}'', Donald "Mr. Don" Obermann of the American [[FiveBadBand Pentagram]] takes on this role. A seven-foot GeniusBruiser and [[TheJuggernaut Juggernaut]], Mr. Don plows through the cream of the Japanese team [[HeroKiller as if they were so many bowling pins]], a fact that leaves most of the other characters shaking. He terrifies Sena, Monta, and the rest of the Deimon players, manages to put the fear of God into [[TheSociopath Agon]], and leaves everyone with the impression that he cannot be stopped; the only one who doesn't fear him is [[BloodKnight Gaou]]. During the Kantou Regionals Arc, Agon and Gaou themselves had this status, terrifying both opposing players and their own teammates.
* ''LightNovel/{{Slayers}}'' has Lina Inverse nicknamed "the Dragon-Spooker" and "the Bandit-Killer". Pretty justified, considering the trail of destruction she leaves behind her and her [[DesignatedHero questionable motivations]].
** The one whose presence does disconcert the dragons visibly is Xellos, though -- after the carnage they suffered from him in their last war. He even used this status, though only to cut short their tendency to muck around and get things dragon themselves could see as desirable ''eventually'' done ''right now''. He also seem to perceive Filia's meandering between haughty disregard and sheer horror as either amusing or refreshing.
* Yujiro Hanma from ''BakiTheGrappler'' makes even strongest characters in the series poop their pants in fear. His presence alone has made polar bears and lions run away like puppies. The average human reaction to him ranges from [[BringMyBrownPants wetting your pants in fear]] to [[FreakOut instinctively punching yourself in the face]] so he won't do it himself.
* ''Manga/DragonBall Z'': [[GalacticConqueror Frieza]] and [[OmnicidalManiac Majin Buu]]. Even the ''gods'' are terrified of them. When King Kai finds out that Frieza is also searching for Namek's Dragon Balls, he basically tells Goku to grab the Dragon Balls and run for his life, because if Frieza finds out he will hunt him down and kill everyone on Earth. Buu managed to kill all but one of the Supreme Kais and is fully capable of destroying the universe. Guess what he tries to do after turning into Super Buu.
** For [[AntiVillain Vegeta]] it was the [[EliteMooks Ginyu]] [[QuirkyMiniBossSquad Force]]. Just hearing that they would soon arrive on Namek made him willing to [[EnemyMine team up]] with Gohan and Krillin.
* After the events of Volume 12 in ''HighSchoolDXD'', [[spoiler: ''the protagonist Issei'' becomes this in the eyes of the Anti-Lord of Hell faction. The reason being that they've tried all sorts of possibilities of killing the current Red Dragon Emperor to the point that they had to resort using Samael, the dragon eater, and ''he still lived through that'' made them fear him.]]
* KyoukaiSenjouNoHorizon: P.A. ODA's [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Five Great Peaks]]; aka the Six Demon Army. As in, each one of the six [[CurbStompBattle is worth an entire army]].
* [[SadistTeacher Mrs. Curtis]] in ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'' until CerebusSyndrome kicked in.
** Also, Barry the Chopper used to be this. Scar too.
* ''Manga/RaveMaster'' has Crush Cookie. Don't let the funny name fool you, he's a mass murderer who can [[TouchOfDeath make anything he touches disintegrate]]. Even Let, the {{Badass}} BloodKnight, is terrified of him. Let claims that dragons tell stories of Crush Cookie to their children the same way humans tell stories of the Boogeyman.
* Parodied at MutekiKanbanMusume: To hear Kayahara sensei’s name is enough for the students of her school to scream and run in panic... she tries to be a SaveOurStudents teacher, but she is so depressed, she constanstly spoofs [[TheRing Sadako Yamamura]], stringy hair and all.
* In ''{{Bleach}}'', this was originally played for laughs with Unohana Retsu, captain of the 4th Division. [[spoiler:It turns out this is highly justified. Her true name is Unohana ''Yachiru'', '''''the First Kenpachi'''''. She has mastered every sword style in Soul Society, and even to this day, is considered the worst criminal in all of Soul Society history. This means she was worse than '''''Aizen'''''.]]
* ''Manga/Beelzebub'' has loads and loads of people who fill this role. Fist we have "Devil" Oga Tatsumi who in his opening scene is shown to be making local delinquents fear him. As the manga progresses only the suicidal, stupid or people who are using the powers of demons (or high ranking demons themselves) don't run from him in terror. It becomes an almost running gag with thugs giving him grief only to realize who they're dealing with and turn to jelly.
** Each of the 4 members of the Tohoshinki (especially Tojou) to the point that a school that has been imitating them craps themselves when they realize they're dealing with the real Tohoshinki and not another group of imposters. Their counterparts the Rokkisei (6 Knights) also count (especially their head Izuma who makes his subordinates crap their pants)
*** Jabberwock and Behemoth. Behemoth makes Satome, Isugugi and Ittosai Kunieda (the pervious generations of bad ass) nervous and even he can't control Jabberwock. [[spoiler:Of course none of this stops Oga from beating him half to death]]
----
* The Irregulars from ''TowerOfGod''. Normally, people who climb the Tower to get their deepest desire fulfilled have to be Chosen and are invited as Regulars. Not these guys. They came and kicked the metaphysical doors open by themselves and every time that happened, the Tower underwent drastic changes. Five Irregulars are known. One was a man-made god who defeated the [[AuthorityEqualsAsskicking entire]] [[WorldOfBadass ruling structure]] of the Tower and then simply disappeared. Before him came a person who slew a PhysicalGod and could create life. The third followed the former into the Tower, climbed it ten times faster than anyone else[[note]] it took him 50 years[[/note]] and built a NGOSuperpower that rivals the government. The fourth one was almost completely immune to magic and could copy any spell on sight. And the last one [[spoiler: was an incredibly normal girl who stabbed her best friend in the back]]. People are not very fond of Irregulars. They are afraid of them.
* In ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'', Orochimaru has this effect on people, freaking out even the likes of [[TortureTechnician Ibiki Morino]].
** [[AGodAmI Pain]]. Jiraiya nearly shat himself when he heard that Pain had defeated Hanzo,who a younger Jiraiya had failed to defeat even with the support of his team. He goes to his Super Mode to counter Pain's power [[spoiler: but sadly it's not enough, as he didn't have enough information on it.]] Sometime later Pain makes the whole of Konoha wet their pants [[spoiler: when he effortlessly destroys the village]].
** Madara remains such a boogeyman that even decades after his death, the possibility that he might be alive is enough to unite all five of the Great Villages to fight him.
* Shizuo Heiwajima from ''{{Durarara}}'' is this to all of Ikebukuro, having a well-deserved reputation as [[SuperStrength super strong]] [[HairTriggerTemper berserker]] who no one in their right mind should cross (unless its [[MagnificentBastard Izaya]]). He's recognizable by his [[IconicOutfit bartender clothes]] ([[MementoMacguffin even if he isn't one anymore]]), and Tom thinks that anyone who lives in Ikebukuro but doesn't know him are probably public school dropouts.
* ''"Oh shit! It's the Teacher!"'' from ''TheSkyCrawlers''.
* Evangeline A. K. [=McDowell=] from ''MahouSenseiNegima'' qualifies. She has a bounty of millions upon her head, and most people are terrified by her. An example can be seen in Anya's reaction to discovering that Evangeline, [[RedBaron the Queen of the Night, the Doll Master, the Maga Nosferatu, the Apostle of Destruction]], [[spoiler:is teaching Negi magic]]. "She's gonna eat me alive!"
** [[BigBad The Lifemaker]] also counts. Even the most {{Badass}} people in a WorldOfBadass such as Jack Rakan and the aforementioned Evangeline fear him.
* Great Demon King Chestra, the BigBad of ''ViolinistOfHameln'' manga, inspires this reaction both through his reputation and his magical power. The entire armies are literally frozen in terror by his mere presence, [[TheDeterminator implacably courageous]] characters doubt aloud whether they have a slightest chance against him, and greatest heroes of humanity see him in nightmares even after he is defeated.
* Seiichirou Kitano from ''Manga/AngelDensetsu'' has this sort of rep. [[FriendToAllLivingThings He]] [[TheMessiah really doesn't deserve it]].
* Erza Scarlet in ''Manga/FairyTail'' is a rare heroic example. The entire guild freaks when it's announced she's returned from a mission, and nobody dares step out of line when she's around. Even Natsu and Gray stop bickering and pretend to be best friends.
** Apparently, [[BewareTheNiceOnes Mirajane]] used to be this.
** A villainous example, is Bluenote.
** Black Mage Zeref to the Magic Council. The mere mention of his possible return is enough to convince the first Magic Council to authorize a ''KillSat'' strike.
** [[spoiler:Acnologia the Black Dragon of the Apocalypse]]. Representatives from the second council immediately flee Tenrou Island [[spoiler:when they hear Zeref mention Acnologia and when he appears the whole Fairy Tail pulls a MassOhCrap.]]
* Yuu from ''{{Holyland}}'' wants to become this so that the bullies and gangsters will stop making trouble for him. It's not working out yet.
* Zebra from ''{{Toriko}}''. The entire world panics when he is released from prison. Just news of his release causes massive economic and social upheaval. And he hasn't even ''done'' anything yet.
** What he DID do to get him into prison was [[spoiler: Cause the extinction of 26 SPECIES. Said species were damaging the ecosystem, but still!]]
** The Four Beasts -- four vicious Gourmet World creatures that prey ''exclusively'' on humans -- are so terrifying that news of their return causes a panic that dwarfs the upheaval caused by Zebra's release.
* The Tokiwadai Dorm Manager in ''Anime/ToAruMajutsuNoIndex'', well actually ''Manga/ToAruKagakuNoRailgun'' to be precise.
** Accelerator in ''ToAruMajutsuNoIndex'' has this effect as well, just his arrival can scare the hell out of anyone who might have pissed him off.
** Touma also has this effect to the magic side, to the point many magical organizations start sending assassins after him. All fail. The Kihara's of the science side may also have this reaction to him.
* The Wretched Egg (a.k.a. the 'Red Man') in Main/DeadmanWonderland is probably '''the''' reason guards in the prison might actually have a lower survival rate than [[RedShirt Red Shirts]].

So, of course, you can imagine Ganta's shock when he finds out [[spoiler:that the same person who massacred his entire classroom, killed his best friend, gave him his Branch of Sin, and was responsible for everything in his life sucking was actually his childhood friend Shiro's SuperpoweredEvilSide, born from hellish, torturous experiments performed on her to unlock her full powers, and its awakening and subsequent gory slaughter of the scientists who experimented on her traumatized Ganta so much that he made himself forget Shiro even existed]].
* [[BigBad Johan Liebert]] is this in ''Anime/{{Monster}}'', and FOR GOOD REASON!!! Anyone who has any knowledge of him (who's still alive that is) will generally begin to shake uncontrollably even thinking about him.
** A psychopathic serial killer even kills himself when he's shown a picture of him.
** When [[spoiler:Anna]], his own flesh and blood, confronts him with the intent on killing him, she falls to pieces as soon as he says hello and [[spoiler:tries to kill herself]].
** Nina/Anna herself, insofar as [[ThoseWackyNazis the Baby]] is left with a sense of permanent terror at her memory after an [[BringMyBrownPants earlier encounter with her]].
* In ''Manga/RurouniKenshin'' this is a common reaction to finding out the title character was once the legendary Hitokiri Battousai (this title, by the way, translates loosely as "Slays Men Just by Drawing His Sword").
* '''[[MemeticMutation "IT'S A]] {{GUNDAM}}!!!"''' - inspiring this reaction in enemy {{Mooks}} since 1979.
