History UnstoppableRage / AnimeAndManga

** For example, the moment when [[spoiler: he witnesses Princess Euphemia, his LoveInterest, being fatally shot by the terrorist leader Zero]] causes him to '''''[[BigNo go berserk]]''''', [[FoeTossingCharge charging through the battlefield and through two elite Knightmare Frames that posed a serious threat to him]] [[spoiler: in order to rescue Euphie]], following which he abandons the battle entirely just for his charge's safety alone. This, [[spoiler: combined with Euphie's death,]] ultimately pushes him past his DespairEventHorizon.

* Ivan Isaac's superpower in ''Manhwa/{{Priest|1998}}'' is his sheer rage and contempt for Temozarela. He doesn't even ''care'' whether or not he wins against him, he just wants Temozarela to see how ''angry'' he is.

** Finally, there's the bit when Al [[spoiler:sacrifices himself to give Ed his arm back]]. Probably one of the most effective rages in anime history follows, as [[spoiler:given Father's powers are already rapidly dropping, it leads to a CurbStompBattle as Ed '''''viciously''''' batters Father with a stream of deadly attacks, from pillars of earth to a spear right through the head... and Ed ''keeps'' wailing on Father [[GoodOlFisticuffs until he's simply beating his face in with just his fists]]. Having a loving brother sacrifice himself to save you is one hell of a motivator.]]

** More recently, we learn there are several things that can make Big Mom ([[spoiler:real name Charlote Linlin]]) snap. One of her nastiest is the world's worst hunger attacks. Her hunger-induced rages are ''so'' unstoppable that she outright ''killed'' one of the most legendary giants of Elbaf when she was ''just a kid''. It's also rumored another such attack resulted in her ''eating'' the entire orphanage where she lived (How else could she have acquired the Devil Fruit that at the time was in the control of the orphanage's caretaker?). Forget angry. You wouldn't like Big Mom when she's ''hungry''.

** Also seen with the Pokemon Mankey, and more so with its evolved form Primeape, which has a HairTriggerTemper and goes into an Unstoppable Rage at the drop of a hat.

* Ivan Isaac's superpower in ''Manhwa/{{Priest}}'' is his sheer rage and contempt for Temozarela. He doesn't even ''care'' whether or not he wins against him, he just wants Temozarela to see how ''angry'' he is.

* Edward in ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'' goes into one of these when he finds that [[spoiler:Shou Tucker, an alchemist famous for making chimeras, turned his own ''wife'' into one, and then later turned his '''daughter''' and his dog into one. Shou makes it worse however, by provoking Edward about the use of human lives, bringing up the human transmutation incident (a [[BerserkButton BAD, BAD THING in general to bring up with either of the brothers]]) and saying that they aren't so different, leading Edward to continually scream "YOU'RE WRONG!", [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown whilst punching him repeatedly]].]] Ouch.
** When Al [[spoiler:sacrifices himself to give Ed his arm back]], Ed goes berserk on Father Homunculus.
** Al almost does this too.
-->'''Alphonse:''' "[[spoiler:Mister Tucker]], one more word out of you... and ''I'll'' be the one to snap."
** Riza also goes into Unstoppable Rage when she thinks [[spoiler:Lust managed to kill Mustang,]] and promptly empties her gun's magazine into her, reloads and repeats. Several times. Worth noting because it is a subversion rather than a straight portrayal, as [[spoiler:when she's run out of bullets, she collapses and cries, while Lust gets back up after shrugging off the barrage without breaking a sweat]].
** When Mustang finally finds out that [[spoiler:Envy killed Hughes]].
--->'''Roy Mustang:''' "[[spoiler:That's that... you killed Hughes..... that's all I needed to know... You don't need to say anything more, Envy. ''The first thing I'm gonna turn to ash is your tongue''.]]"
*** He makes damn good on this promise during the course of one of the most terrifying and awesome sequences in the series, and [[spoiler:Envy]] only makes things worse for himself by [[spoiler:first impersonating Hughes to try to fuck with him and then trying to fuck with Riza Hawkeye]]. Mustang proceeds to [[spoiler:completely brutalize Envy, alternating between full, body-consuming explosions, and pinpoint attacks that target the most sensitive and painful areas, notably the eyes. Repeatedly. OUCH]]. What makes Mustang's wrath even more impressive is that he still keeps his head cool enough to precisely control his flames and make rational decisions.

** [[BigBad Father]] as well [[spoiler:in the Final Battle he shows much anger]]

** See ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED''. See Kira get angry. See Kira go crazy, and completely disable all of his enemies in seconds.
*** That's not Kira angry. Go watch the episode where [[spoiler: He and Athrun succumb to their rage and try to kill one another.]] Both of them convey their rage very well with the sheer brutality of their attacks. No more hesitation, no more clever tricks. Their minds are set on the same part of the dial: "Two men enter, one man leaves."
** To say nothing of Shinn from ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSeedDestiny''. It doesn't work very well for him, since when his rage really gets out of control, Shinn starts to forget about [[CombatPragmatist the outside-of-the-box tactics that made him so dangerous in the first place]]. He'll plow through hundreds of normal enemies while [[TheBerserker berserking]], but another AcePilot will usually have an easier time of stopping him.
** In ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Gundam Wing]]'', [[TheStoic Heero]] enters an Unstoppable Rage during his first use of the Gundam Epyon because of the ZERO System's side effects.
** Setsuna F. Seiei from ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Gundam 00]]'' generally keeps very good control of himself if he gets mad, but he does have one case of pure rage: during the intervention in Azodistan, he witnesses a scene that reminds him of the horrific war he participated in [[ChildSoldiers as a child]], which causes him to snap and go completely ballistic on the attacking Suits. Most of the time, in ''Gundam 00'', blind rage = quick death for pilots, be they flying a Gundam or not.
*** A slight variation on this would be Allelujah Haptism. Normally, he's a calm, calculated Gundam Pilot, and generally the most relaxed of the bunch (for example, he never once fought any of the Gundam Throne Units, at least not on-screen, and didn't even seem to give a damn about their activities, even when he other Gundam Pilots went to fight them. Earlier, he also endangered the entire mission just to save some civilians while HRL-backup troops arrived). However, his calm only lasts until someone else capable of using Quantum Brainwaves gets too close, especially HRL Ace Pilot Soma Peries. Then his psychotic alter ego takes over and brutally slaughters everything in sight that doesn't get away. Finally, by the end of Season 2, he learns to actually control this, which is heavily exploited during the Movie, not limited to having 2 Super Soldiers with 3 personalities in total piloting 1 mech that gets stronger because it's piloted by super soldiers.
** In ''Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam'' [[TheRival Jerid Messa]] normally CantCatchUp to [[TheHero Kamille Bidan]]. However, anytime Kamille kills someone Jerid cares about it sends Jerid into this mode and makes him all but impossible to beat.
** After Decil kills [[spoiler:Woolf Enneacle]] in ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamAGE'', Asemu is driven to such rage that it cancels out Decil's PsychicPowers and he's unable to read Asemu's attack patterns. [[spoiler:Decil is dead in very short order]]. Subverted by Flit in G1 (who only holds back because Decil was a young child at that time), and in G3 Kio subverts it after [[spoiler:his friend Deen]] is killed by another Vagan because he pulls it back before actually striking the deathblow.

** Aizawa and Present Mic are good friends and hurting either is a bad idea. Present Mic used his voice quirk to unleash a sound so loud that it blew out everyone’s eardrums and created its own physical force that brought half the building down when he saw a mangled, blooded Aizawa being carried off after the [=USJ=] arc. Later, he also pounded the doctor who made his and Aizawa’s dead friend into a Nomu.

--> [[spoiler: I don't think I'm a hero of justice or anything. But those who would hurt my friends....I WILL NEVER FORGIVE!]]

** Goku's first Super Saiyan transformation also qualifies. He's out of power, then has to watch Piccolo, his rival and valuable ally at the time, and his best friend, Krillin, both get attacked by Freeza, with Krillin murdered outright -- and then, just to be even more of a monster than he already is, Freeza just ''has'' to [[RageBreakingPoint threaten]] [[PapaWolf little Gohan]] as well. This [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge pushes Goku]] [[SuperMode over the edge.]]

* In ''Manga/{{Gintama}}'': Not exactly conscious rage, per se, but it is brought about by rage. In her fight against Abuto, [[spoiler:Kagura loses all control against her Yato instinct and flies into what can be fairly called an Unstoppable Rage -- though the look on her face says she's actually enjoying it in a detached, psychotic way.]]

** After Sasakibe Chojiro is murdered by a Quincy, Yamamoto's character is beset with a slowly building, [[TranquilFury calm rage]]. When he finds the Quincy responsible, [[TooDumbToLive who is arrogant enough to boast about it and use Sasakibe's stolen Bankai,]] Yamamoto snaps in one single-page spread, and wipes out the Quincy in one blast of fire that even disintegrates his bones. Then he immediately seeks out "Yhwach", whips out [[PowerOfTheSun Zanka no Tachi]], and summarily defeats him with ease. [[SubvertedTrope The subversion]] comes when this is what he real Yhwach wanted from the start, and demonstrates how to stop someone in UnstoppableRage Mode: use it against them, [[spoiler:and then kill them]].

* In the first part of "Jupiter Jazz" from ''Anime/CowboyBebop'', a gang leader made the mistake of [[BerserkButton calling Spike Spiegel by the name of his rival, Vicious]]. Spike went berserk and handed a supreme asskicking to the entire gang before laying into him.

* Shizuo Heiwajima in ''LightNovel/{{Durarara}}''. He actually doesn't like violence, but set him off -- and [[HairTriggerTemper many things set him off]] -- and he can't stop himself from [[SuperStrength throwing something unreasonably heavy]] at you.

* ''LightNovel/FullMetalPanic'': In Episode 5, Sagara and Tsubaki ''really'' piss off the school janitor, who transforms in to a [[ChainsawGood chainsaw-wielding]] monstrosity that [[OffhandBackhand easily fends off]] their combined attacks, swallows hand grenades, and chases them around the school like puppies.

* In ''LightNovel/HighSchoolDxD'', [[LovableSexManiac Issei]] is struggling to overcome his counterpart Vali. When his ally Azazel suggests that Vali's power to divide things could possibly be used to divide the breast sizes of his prospective harem, Issei proceeds to ''flip his shit.''

* Subverted in ''LightNovel/OkamiSan'': when [[spoiler:Ryoshi]] first fights [[spoiler:Shirou]], his attempts to attack are easily thwarted; later, while training, he learns that if he gives in to the anger he becomes predictable, blind to his opponent's movements, and generally far easier to beat.

* ''LightNovel/RebuildWorld'': TheRival Katsuya, being a {{Satire}} of the StockShonenHero, is prone to this, usually when one of his friends is killed in front of him, and he goes on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge impressing everyone with his skill. This eventually gets mixed together with a HeroicBSOD and [[GreenEyedMonster jealousy]] into a FreakOut where he goes berserk after [[spoiler:his heart is broken by Sheryl after seeing her together with Akira, and a FalseFlagOperation by Tiol makes him think Akira killed some of his teammates. This ultimately resulting in Akira killing Katsuya.]]

* Great Demon Lord Millim Nava of ''LightNovel/ThatTimeIGotReincarnatedAsASlime'' weaponizes a very literal interpretation of this with her Ultimate Skill "Wrathful King Satan." Since this ability lets her convert rage into magical power, as long as she stays angry she will [[BottomlessMagazines never run out of magical energy]] and never stop fighting, ensuring that she will win battles through either raw power or just plain [[VictoryByEndurance outlasting her foes]]. The only times she can claim to have really "lost" when in such a state is her rage cooling off, which took ''seven days and seven nights'' in a battle against a fellow Great Demon Lord in the past.

* In ''Manga/TriGun'', Vash is normally a pacifist who refuses to kill anyone, trying his very best to non-lethally shoot at people (unrealistic, but for the context of the story one just has to roll with it) which puts him in bad situations with the major villains of the series who don't go down as easily as a normal person would from his non-lethal shots. On one notable occasion, the villain was unaffected by Vash's attempts to non-lethally defeat him but when he murdered a lot of people right in front of Vash's eyes Vash pulls out his machine gun arm and quickly immobilizes the villain. In his weakened state, Vash knows the villain can't fight back but in his rage he seriously considers killing him. However, he holds true to his morals and lets him go. This shows you that Vash would be an unstoppable gunfighter if he went in for the kill from the start.
