Sometimes a character just ''oozes'' passion.

Sometimes, they're more like a dam with the floodgates open.

Sometimes, just sometimes, the flood of awesome they unleash is such that you need to [[TheGreatFlood send out a dove to find land afterwards.]]

They are so burningly passionate about everything that they do that they seem [[LargeHam larger than life]]. They give their all in absolutely ''[[WhatdoYouMeanItsNotAwesome everything]]'' they do, regardless of the task. They can say the cheesiest of lines with a straight face -- the best of them can say things that are ''so'' cheesy they use the SoBadItsGood principle to become ''awesome''. These characters are HotBlooded (the Japanese term is ''nekketsu'', literally "hot/passionate blood").

Using the power of guts and determination, they [[TheBerserker throw themselves headfirst into the worst situations imaginable]] and come out on top through ''[[{{Determinator}} sheer force of will]]'', and often have a strong tendency to go BeyondTheImpossible. Even non-hot blooded characters can occasionally have their own hot blooded incidents; this is frequently their CrowningMomentOfAwesome.

Beware if they go into TranquilFury; someone's ''really'' managed to [[UnstoppableRage piss them off]].

Especially common around {{Super Robot}}s. A common trait of TheAce, and to a lesser degree BoisterousBruiser. Compare with the LargeHam. If it's not pulled off just right, it results in {{Narm}}.

Many HotBlooded characters, especially ones from anime in the seventies and eighties, can be easily identified by their GoNagaiSideburns

[[PigeonholedVoiceActor Contact either]] NobuyukiHiyama or TomokazuSeki, if you want epic characters of this type.

Not to be confused with a certain Foreigner song. Well, not all the time, anyway.

!!Examples

[[foldercontrol]]

[[folder: Anime ]]

* Vegeta from ''{{Dragon Ball}}'' is such this trope, that it really can just be called "The Vegeta." He is almost nothing but pure anger, pride and bloodlust. In fact, this seems to be the main attribute of the Saiyan Race in general, which Goku being the exception to the rule.
* ''TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' literally ''runs'' on Hot Blood- the mecha in the series are fueled by the pilot's "will to fight".
-->'''Who the hell do you think I am?!'''
* ''GaoGaiGar'''s Guy Shishio makes the most of it by piloting a HumongousMecha powered by his own courage. You could make a case for half the GGG, actually, but Guy does most of the fighting.
** In fact, most people voiced by NobuyukiHiyama have a tendency to fall into this trope, which also includes Ikkaku Madarame from ''{{Bleach}}'', Harunobu Madarame from ''{{Genshiken}}'', Viral from ''TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' and Akutare/Axel from ''{{Disgaea}} 2''. Even Link in ''TheLegendOfZelda: Ocarina of Time'' (who was voiced by Hiyama for that game) was particularly hotblooded in his screams when being knocked down or attacking.
**It should probably be noted that Guy's name can be translated as[[MeaningfulName "Triumphant King Lion."]]
** Even in ''[[GaoGaiGar GaoGaiGar]]'', Guy's arguably just the crown prince of hot-blooded shouting. The real crown goes to Koutarou Taiga, GGG chief.
** Even the AI's for the other robots in the series tend to be pretty hot-blooded, usually in the "red" half of the RedOniBlueOni pairings. Although the combined Forms of said pairings are always hot-blooded. Also Goldymarg, an AI so hot-blooded it leads this troper to wonder if they programmed him in ALL CAPS.
*** Canonically, his Super AI was based on [[HardGay Geki]] [[LargeHam Hyuuma]] because they didn't have time to raise it.
****"LET'S BREAK STUFF!"
* Naruto and Might Guy from ''{{Naruto}}'', In ''Shippuden'', Guy actually uses a high-level technique to shoot fire from his fists.
** And Rock Lee too. He's Guy's protege, so of course, he's like this also.
** Kiba's also quite HotBlooded - according to Naruto, even more so than he himself is.
*** Pretty much whenever Kiba's name is posted on this site, it is a link back to this page.
* Ash Ketchum from ''{{Pokemon}}'', almost to the point of {{Flanderization}} (alongside IdiotHero). [[CharacterDevelopment He's gotten a bit more mature in recent years]], but being HotBlooded to the max comes naturally considering he's voiced by Mrs. RicaMatsumoto.
** Some rivals of Ash are also pretty HotBlooded, specially Gym Leader Chuck (Shijima) from Johto, Morrison (Masamune) from the Hoenn tournament and Chuck's disciple, Arena Tycoon Greta (Arena Captain Kogomi) from the Frontier Brains group. Greta was actually so HotBlooded that when she and Ash faced it off, they often stared at each other and fire erupted in the background, with Brock and May lampshading the trope by commenting on how passionate and similar they were.
*** Canalave Gym Leader Byron (Tougan) is the newest one in the list of passionate Gym Leaders, and may be the most hot blooded of them all -- he shares the same seiyuu as Franky of ''OnePiece'' (the dub successfully matches this performance with DanGreen), and most of his scenes in the battle with Ash looked like they may have been inspired from ''TengenToppaGurrenLagann''!
** Crossing into the [[PokemonSpecial manga]], we have our share of hot blood pumping around. Gold and Pearl in particular demonstrate this quality in spades.
* Don Kanonji of ''{{Bleach}}''.
** And Isshin Kurosaki. [[spoiler:Or his public persona, at least.]]
***Keigo also fits this trope, since the dude lives his entire life in a colorful, energetic fast-forward. He does everything big and passionate!
*** Keigo is done by [[KatsuyukiKonishi Katsuyuki]] '''[[TengenToppaGurrenLagann FREAKING]]''' [[KatsuyukiKonishi Konishi]]! Of course he's HotBlooded. '''''WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK KEIGO IS?!'''''
** Renji, anyone?
* Major Armstrong from ''FullMetalAlchemist'', resident LargeHam, [[CatchPhrase whose hot-bloodedness has been passed down the Armstrong line for generations.]]
* ''Sakigake!! Otokojuku'' parodies this sort of character.
* Kazuma from ''[[{{Scryed}} s-CRY-ed]]''.
* Luffy from ''OnePiece''.
** Sanji too. He burns with the passion of love! (literally) In fact, his blood burns so hot that it's [[ItRunsOnNonsensoleum the reason]] he can avoid injury from ''setting his own leg on fire''.
***And Zoro as a kid, before...''stuff'' happened.
* ''Every'' main hero in every ''{{Digimon}}'' series except for more mild-mannered-at-first Takato (who, like the rest of [[DigimonTamers the third series]], was a deliberate breaking of the mold. [[GogglesDoNothing Goggles]] aside.)
** Of particular notice is Daimon Masaru, from ''DigimonSavers'', whose force of will grants him the ability to punch out everything from giant chickens to ''god itself.''
*** [[GGundam Hotblooded, his fists glow with an awesome power, and it grows as he delivers his love, his anger, and all of his sorrow.]] Sound familiar?
** This was highly parodied in a one off comic from the manga ''V-Tamer'', where TheHero, Taichi, faces off against CanonImmigrant Ryo, who had crossed over just for that special. A Digimon sent by V-Tamer's resident BigBad tries to stop them, but due to being an icy Digimon, the literal hot bloodedness caused by Taichi and Ryo's meeting causes the monster to overheat.
** Also of note in [[DigimonAdventure02 Digimon Adventure 02]] is that, well, Daisuke has what looks to be the start of what could become [[GoNagaiSideburns some truly epic Go Nagai Sideburns]] and let's not forget his Digimon shoots off a [[GetterRobo Stoner Sunshine]] in movie 4.
* The earliest anime/manga example is ''MazingerZ'', the series that created the SuperRobot genre. Kouji Kabuto is generally the character that all other HotBlooded characters come from.
** Go Nagai in fact loves HotBlooded characters. Even his MagicalGirl CuteyHoney is HotBlooded. Go Nagai characters border on the line of Hot Blood Overdose, which may lead to such noticeable side effects as sketchy art style, crazy eyes, and lots of breaking of the laws of physics.
** ''ShinMazinger'' has plenty of HotBlood of course, being a Mazinger show. But of particular note is the show's ''{{Narrator}}'', who somehow outdoes the actual pilot's efforts. '''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDj1KTha8go&fmt=18 "ZEEEEEEEEEETTO"]]'''
* ''GetterRobo'' requires not one, not two, but ''three'' hotblooded pilots, and exposure to Getter Rays brings out the burning passion within oneself; even watching or reading ''GetterRobo'' can make someone HotBlooded.
* ''GGundam'' does this to the point where it's arguably a parody. All of the main pilots are HotBlooded including George De Sand, and he's the stereotypical French gentleman outside his Super Robot. Whenever Rain Mikamura suits up she becomes a HotBlooded pilot, and she's the technician! In fact this series is so HotBlooded that Fuunsaiki, Master Asia's ''horse'', is HotBlooded. Just look at its suit up sequence.
** Of course, main character Domon Kasshu is the reigning king of this. (Gurren Laggan's Kamina and Nadesico's Gai deposed him temporarily, and would have kept the position [[spoiler:[[TooCoolToLive if they had lived longer]]]]). He invokes the [[SoBadItsGood so hotblooded it's not corny]] rule with such ferocity that he takes it far beyond SoBadItsGood straight to SoBadItsHorrible and then rockets straight ''back'' up to ''[[CrowningMomentOfAwesome fucking awesome]]'' when he uses the full power of his "Shining Finger" attack. The last episode tops it with a RefugeInAudacity HotBlooded ThePowerOfLove attack. Of course since that would be too long a quote, let's just have a [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HZZzJBgYkE video of that scene]] and use a Shining Finger sword Quote:
--->'''Domon''': This hand of mine glows with an awesome power! Its burning grip tells me to defeat you! Take this! My love, my anger, and '''all of my sorrow!''' SHINING FINGER SWORD!
*** It's also treated somewhat more realistically, since his HotBlooded self is one of his biggest character flaws: the fact that he is constantly acting on his over-the-top emotions [[XanatosSucker makes it very easy to manipulate him and lure him into traps]].
**** And very often, he [[SpannerInTheWorks ends up tearsin through these traps]] [[TheDeterminator out of pure hot blood and willpower]].
** Domon's ''[[{{MemeticMutation}} Daughter]]'' [[{{CodeGeass}} Kallen Kouzuki]] seems to have taken after her old man to quite a degree (being a HotBlooded Determinator AcePilot who fights for justice, in a RealRobot show very much on the Cynical side of the Scale), proving that you don't have to be male in order to be GAR.
** Many characters voiced by {{Tomokazu Seki}}, most notable is probably [[{{G Gundam}} Domon]] and maybe [[MartianSuccessorNadesico Gai]]. He's probably voiced more Hot Blooded characters than almost any other voice actor. Only problem is, he's voiced so many characters and with such a wide range of personalities that it's impossible to associate him with just the Hot Blooded ones.
* Graham Aker of ''{{Gundam 00}}'' does a lot of yelling and screaming for a RealRobot pilot, as well as some of the others in his squad. Thankfully, though, he's one of those characters who is hot-blooded AND has the experience, competence and sheer awesomeness to back it up. Some of his burning moments include screaming fallen comrades' names and vowing revenge, and in one instance, he sorties ''alone'' to fight a Gundam attack, and yells something about surpassing the Asura while slicing off the Gundam's arm (the first time a 'regular' mobile suit did harm to a Gundam in that series). Did we mention that he has no fear of having his body turned into pulp by G-Forces? Yes, Graham is hot-blooded AND awesome.
** Also, let's not forget "'''HOOOOWARD MAAAAASON'''"!
** And "GUNDAM!!!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!"
** The aforementioned take-off to singelhandedly fight three Gundams on his own is accompanied by a nearly trope naming worthy 'I shall overcome reasoning with my recklessness!!!!' And hell, [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome he does]].
* Sagara Sanosuke, [[GenerationXerox Sagara's father]], and Myoujin Yahiko from ''RurouniKenshin''. Also Makoto Shishio, literally, who is so HotBlooded that he [[spoiler: dies when his blood overheats and he spontaneously combusts.]]
* Subaru of ''MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha [=StrikerS=]'', who's a massive ShoutOut to ''GaoGaiGar'' and {{Super Robot}}s in general.
* Parodied by Meito Anisawa (pictured above), AKA Anime Tenchou, the {{Mascot}} of anime outlet Animate and frequent special guest on ''LuckyStar'': So HotBlooded he [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjgsNSMG7Bw sets fire to bystanders and has to be put out by a fire hose]]. He's sort of a parody of Domon Kasshu, who was voiced by the same actor as Anisawa.
** The rest of the Animate staff are almost at his level, including a rookie introduced later in the series. It seems to be part of standard staff training at Animate.
* Jouji Gouda from ''Akane Maniax'' who is pretty similar to the above
* Hot blood (or the use of PsychoSerum) ''[[JustifiedTrope powers]]'' the [[AppliedPhlebotinum Lambda Driver]] in ''FullMetalPanic!''. Pilots who can be relied upon to use it without fail -- mainly the villains -- often have this kind of attitude.
** Sousuke doesn't normally do this trope (being an absolute [[TheStoic stoic]] most of the time), but he does have one brief, distilled moment in ''Fumoffu'' of HotBlooded-ness for the sake of a [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQ-_wi40_kY pre-rugby match Rousing Speech]] (starting at 5:35), at which point he might as well change his name to Domon Kasshu ([[HeyItsThatVoice Same voice actor again, by the way]]).
--->'''Sousuke:''' DO WE LOVE OUR HIGH SCHOOL!? '''DO WE LOVE OUR RUGBY CLUB!?!?''' THEN LET'S '''''GO'''''!
* Gai Daigouji of ''MartianSuccessorNadesico''. [[WrongGenreSavvy Poor bastard seemed to think]] he was in a SuperRobot show...
** That show being ''Gekiganger 3'', whose little-seen full title actually includes the term "nekketsu", as does the title of the ShortAnimeMovie, and a few of the special move names (Nekketsu-giri, the "Hot-blood Slash")... But surprisingly, it doesn't go nearly as far as some of the real examples.
** Ryouko Subaru from the same anime is a lot more GenreSavvy and competent, but loves performing the archetypal HotBlooded battle cry "Ora ora ora ora!" when charging the enemy.
* Princess Amelia wil Tesla Seyrun of ''TheSlayers'' - adrenalin-charged Warrioress of Justice! Who fought bandits and monsters and made vigorous proclamation speeches of the {{In the Name of the Moon}} style and was all fired up to Defeat Evil! Save the Helpless! and Speak In Capital Letters With Exclamation Points! And her father, Prince Phil of Seyrunn, was much the same. *shudder*
* Rosette Christopher from ''ChronoCrusade'', particularly the manga. A hyper, hot-tempered, tomboyish nun who fights demons using bullets charged with holy power, and often gets ''so'' into her battles that she causes massive property damage.
* Ryohei Sasagawa from ''KatekyoHitmanReborn'' runs on Hot Blood - TO THE EXTREME. Reborn and Tsuna were surprised when the "Dying Will Shot" did nothing to him except give him the cool "burning flame" on his forehead - apparently, he lives his ''normal'' life doing things as if he were to die.
** Or how about Squalo? [[CatchPhrase VOOOOOIIIIIIII]] [[BattleCry indeed]].
* For a mere school teacher GreatTeacherOnizuka is quite HotBlooded. Let's just say he always goes the extra mile; If you're got a problem, he'll tear your wall down with a sledgehammer. Guaranteed.
* Obviously, the Navis belonging to Hino Ken of ''RockmanEXE'', but Fireman takes the prize for the line, "There's nothing I can't burn... no, there's nothing ''we'' can't burn!" Dubbed by ShoPro into an extremely generic teamwork speech, which is why the example isn't cited under ''MegaManNTWarrior''.
* Taishi from ''Comic Party''. Did you know manga is SeriousBusiness? If not, then you don't know Taishi, a grandiose drama king who treats ''everything'' as a matter of life or death.
** Not to mention Yuu Inagawa, who gives a rousing speech about "Burning Passion" and "Passionate Love", which culminates in a vast inferno starting up behind her. She was trying to motivate a friend to... be more passionate about doujinshi.
** And Subaru, who honestly seems to think her life is a shounen manga (and that she's the star).
* Shizuma Kusanagi from ''RealBoutHighSchool'', a pompous showboat with explosive moves and the only one who can hold a candle to TheHero, Ryoko Mitsurugi.
* As ''[[KenichiTheMightiestDisciple History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi]]'' receives TrainingFromHell he also becomes distinctly more HotBlooded.
** His masters Appachai and Sakaki were like this to begin with.
* ''FistOfTheNorthStar'' has a number of hot-blooded characters, but, curiously, the main character isn't one of them. [[BigBad Raoh]] seems to go from AloofBigBrother to HotBlooded {{Badass}} at the drop of a hat, in particular when he's confronted with a WorthyOpponent. In fact, his [[spoiler:death]] was so hot-blooded that he burned away the constantly overcast clouds while [[spoiler: sending his own soul to Heaven, lifting a good amount of depression from the CrapsackWorld on his way to, presumably, go kick God's ass.]]
* As the characters of ''HigurashiNoNakuKoroNi'' realise [[spoiler:ThePowerOfFriendship is the only way to ScrewDestiny]] they all become distinctly HotBlooded, in fact Keiichi generally shows a lot of HotBlooded behaviour, [[spoiler:if he's not going Psycho of course]].
** If you listen to Satoshi's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_2jkhrpGDk&feature=related image]] song, you notice how surprisingly hot blooded he is. He equals Keiichi.
*** Well, [[spoiler: Satoshi acted similar to Keiichi in Onikakushi-hen according to Rena meaning they can't be too different.]]
* Takashi Kawamura from ''ThePrinceOfTennis'' looks meek and gentle and even a bit of a doormat, but if you give him a racket, he wakes up to his hidden HotBlooded side and literally ''nothing'' can stop him. '''BUUUUUURRRRRRNIIIIIIINNNNNGGG''', indeed. His kouhai Takeshi Momoshiro (who also is a power player, like Kawamura) and local GenkiGirl cheerleader Tomoka Osakada are also HotBlooded, but not to the CrazyAwesome level of Kawamura... ''yet''.
** For the rival teams there's Ryoh Shishido of Hyoutei, who subjected himself to ridiculously harsh training to earn back his spot on the team. He loses his temper often, and is vocal about it, he this same passion can also bring up morale on his team.
** Akaya Kirihara from Rikkaidai counts as this, until his BloodKnight side arises.
** Akira Kamio from Fudomine as well. [[CatchPhrase He'll do it WITH RHYTHM~]]
** And what about [[DarkSkinnedRedhead Kintarou]] [[PintSizedPowerhouse "Kin-chan"]] [[GeniusDitz Tooyama]], huh?
* [[SlamDunk I'm a basketball genius... My name is]] '''[[SlamDunk SAKURAGI HANAMICHIIIII!!!]]'''
* [[AnthropomorphicPersonification Prussia]] from AxisPowersHetalia is a crazier and slightly evil version of this. "Mission complete! Praise me! Hail me! On your knees!"
* {{INUYASHA}}. I can't believe KappeiYamaguchi doesn't lose a lung every time the guy opens his mouth.
** He's had practice with [[RanmaOneHalf Ranma]].
*** And also, of course, if he isn't playing [[DeathNote L]]
* Yankumi in ''{{Gokusen}}'' is another example, although many other characters also qualify.
* [[FairyCompanion Keroberos]] of ''CardCaptorSakura'' counts a great deal of the time. Especially when he's [[BigEater demanding food, eating food]], [[BerserkButton freaking out over the latest mishap]], or [[KnightInShiningArmor protecting Sakura]].
* [[SuzumiyaHaruhi Haruhi Suzumiya]] approaches this on occasion, mainly when she's accepting a challenge (like in "The Day Of Sagittarius"). But hey, maybe it's just megalomania!
* One of [[BoBoBoBoBoBoBo BoBoBo]]'s secret techniques is the "Romanticized Heat Flame Macho Men", where the enemy's soul is burned by the heroes's sheer [[HotBlooded HotBloodedness]]. They're so HotBlooded that they defeat death and eventually destroy the sun. [[WidgetSeries Then the macho men went home on the train]].
* Manga artist Kazuhiko Shimamoto ''loves'' hot-bloodedness to the point that it's something of a trademark for him (and often parodied). His many works include ''Blazing Transfer Student'' (about hot-blooded high school fighting), ''Gyakkyou Nine'' (hot-blooded baseball) and ''Moeyo Pen'' (hot-blooded ''manga writing''), and he was the designer of such characters as [[LuckyStar Meito Anisawa]], the entire cast of ''GGundam'' and Hayato Nekketsu from ''RivalSchools.''
** Here he is singing the opening to one of his own series, ''Blazing Transfer Student'' [[http://youtube.com/watch?v=xkL8UZjLWz8&fmt=18]]. You can ''feel'' the hot-blooded passion. Set to a video of ''GGundam'', naturally.
* {{Nora}} isn't hot-blooded; hot-blooded characters are merely infected with the Nora Plague.
* Jack Rakan from ''MahouSenseiNegima'' is hot-blooded to the point of [[BeyondTheImpossible utter absurdity]]. And ''any'' problem can be solved by summoning a [[{{BFS}} big enough sword]].
** While he's not as hot-blooded as Rakan, Ricardo also requires mention, being a hot-blooded ''senator'' of a major country. The two used to be drinking buddies before Ricardo started doing the politician thing.
* You can make an argument for ''NeonGenesisEvangelion''[='s=] Shinji Ikari... but only if you get him pissed off enough, and don't catch him in a major emo moment. Just watch him in the Shamshel and Zeruel battles.
** He's more of a ShrinkingViolet who happens to have his BerserkButton / BewareTheNiceOnes moments.
** Perhaps a more straightfoward example would be Asuka, who combines this with TheGadfly, the JerkAss, and arguably ThePesci.
** Misato is a more milder case.
*Tsubaki Sadamitsu from the little-known manga/anime Hakaima Sadamitsu eats, drinks and breathes this trope. In fact, the entire anime is an over-the-top AffectionateParody of HotBlooded [[MechaShow Mecha Shows]].
* In some ways ''VinlandSaga'' is a deconstruction of the hot blooded Shonen hero. Nearly every character is a ScreamingWarrior, and BadAss to boot, but it's the cool headed ones that are the truly dangerous fighters.
* Ken of ''YakitateJapan'' is both figuratively and ''literally'' HotBlooded: not only is he filled with passion, but he also built up his arm muscles so that the increased circulation would warm his hands, creating an effect similar to Solar Hands.
* Kogoro of KeroroGunsou is so passionate, he wastes three thousand calories just picking up a ten yen coin. If it wasn't for his incredible stupidity, he might actually accomplish something.
* Its taken this long to mention Gunbuster and its little cousin Diebuster?
* Kaoru of ''ZettaiKarenChildren''. Not only is she [[LovableSexManiac lecherous]], [[LargeHam ridiculously over the top]] in her day to day life, but she ''[[CallingYourAttacks calls her attacks]]'' when it's completely unnecessary as her powers are psychic in nature. Minamoto also does this whenever he releases the girls' [[PowerLimiter psychic limiters]] for no other reason than adhering to the RuleOfCool.
* From what this troper has seen, Daiya from {{Gaiking}} broke the record for youngest hotblooded mecha pilot at ''14'' years old. Please also note this was the kid who lifts '''CITIES''' with his hotbloodedness.
* Jounouchi of ''YuGiOh'' has quite a few [[BerserkButton Berserk Buttons]].
* Judai Yuki of ''YuGiOhGX'' falls under this trope. More than once in the series, Judai actually tries to use his brains for playing...and loses horribly as a consequence! But god help those who face him when he plays with his heart!
* [[FairyTail Fairy Tail.]] Pretty much the entire guild, but particularly Natsu.
* Akio Furukawa of ''{{CLANNAD}}'', beyond a doubt. All he needs is a mecha.
* ''SengokuBasara'''s Date Masamune, for starters... but HotBlooded though he is, Masamune still manages to be the [[RedOniBlueOni Blue Oni]] to Sanada Genjiro Yukimura's [[RedOniBlueOni Red Oni]] because Yukimura is ''that much more'' HotBlooded. Yukimura and his boss Takeda Shingen - but especially Yukimura - are both so HotBlooded that they [[IncendiaryExponent set things on fire]].
* ''TheyAreMyNobleMasters'' is a show about... butlers. Doesn't sound like a subject to inspire hot-bloodedness, right? One is voiced by NobuyukiHiyama. Another, who is also the main character, is voiced by TomokazuSeki. A third, the main character's tough-as-nails ex-mercenary mentor, has the voice of [[GGundam Master Asia]]. [[YourHeadAsplode Your head may now asplode]].
** No, no, not until you actually get to ''see'' [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjTCmzVNYdM the end result]]. Your sceduled head-explody may now re-commence.
* The main character of the upcoming {{TAILENDERS}} is a race car driver so hot-blooded that his ''heart'' is the engine running the machine. As in, literally, a race car engine. Now that's what I call HotBlooded.
* Oboro in {{Utawarerumono}} is like this, and even has his base element as fire. The rest of the cast does not approve, because despite his best intentions he tends to slide into [[LeeroyJenkins another trope]] if left to his own devices. By the end of the story, he's become mature enough to realize how immature he is [[spoiler:and leaves the empire in the control of Benawi while he takes Yuzuha's baby to see the world.]]
* ''[[VisionOfEscaflowne Escaflowne]]'s'' Van Fanel seems a little too quiet for this trope at first (despite being voiced by TomokazuSeki), but then you put the boy in a mech and throw him into battle [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/crazybastard.jpg and]]...''[[SoYeah Yeah]]''.
* YuYuHakusho is filled with hot blooded characters. Yusuke (mostly if you threaten his friends) and Kuwabara (if you threaten Yukina, [[PowerOfLove he will beat you up]]) are two of the most prominent, but Hiei and Kurama (though he's more of a BewareTheNiceOnes kind of guy) have their moments too.
* Kenji Harima from SchoolRumble. Attempting to list all of the hotblooded things he does is a futile effort, but his CMOA of hotblooded-ness was probably [[spoiler: when he fought with Karasuma at the end of the series. Heck, he handcuffed them together just so that it'd be easier for the two of them to beat each other up.]]
** Don't forget Haruki Hanai!
* Black Star from ''SoulEater'' lives on this trope, brandishing it at almost every opportunity he gets.
* By now, you, dear viewer, are probably thinking that this is a heroic trope alone. So when you hear about the Japanese pseudo-{{Mummy}} by the name of [[RurouniKenshin Shishiro Makoto]], you think he's the BadAss protagonist of a shonen manga. You got the BadAss part right, but as for the ''hero'' part...[[DiabolicalMastermind not]] [[{{Darwinist}} so]] [[MagnificentBastard much]].

[[folder: Comic Books ]]

* ''ElfQuest'': Rayek and Kahvi. Their daughter should have been a thermonuclear bomb, but she turns out to be a serene mystic. Go figure...
* ''{{X-Men}}'': Most of the more fervent anti-mutant detractors end up coming across like this, but for a heroic example, see Sunspot and Cannonball of the New Mutants. Of course, [[PersonalityPowers one's a solar-powered superstrong and the other can smash into things with a blasting field]]...SoYeah.
** And Sunfire, who is so hot-blooded he's literally [[IncendiaryExponent on fire]].
** During Stan Lee's days of PurpleProse, ''all'' characters perpetually flipflopped between HotBlooded and [[ContemplateOurNavels Navel Gazing]]. No one just ''said'' anything, they either shouted or mused. But it's all good.
* [[Comicbook/{{Doom}} The Doom Guy]] has [[http://doomcomicdrama.ytmnd.com/ more hotblood pumping through his veins than every anime character combined]].
* Guy Gardner of the GreenLantern Corps, with a heaping dash of BoisterousBruiser.
* {{Empowered}} is usually a [[ThereAreNoTherapists neurotic]] [[BrokenBird mess]], but when she can actually pull herself together, she qualifies nicely for this. Her friend Ninjette is like this most of the time, to Emp's ongoing frustration.

* ''{{Shinji and Warhammer 40k}}'' manages to turn ''[[NeonGenesisEvangelion Shinji Ikari]]'' into someone who, when first got into Eva 01, rather than letting the killing machine go berserk, used it to ''try and kick the angel in the balls''; and in his childhood, beat the crap out of three teenagers. That's the ''prologue'' and ''chapter one''.

* The Spartans from ''[[ThreeHundred 300]]''.
** Also, most of the Persians who have speaking parts in ''300.'' Also, since the narrator is a Spartan, even the narration is Hot-Blooded.

* It is readily arguable that most ArnoldSchwarzenegger characters [[http://io9.com/5065558/how-i-learned-to-relax-and-love-the-governator qualify]]...except for [[{{Terminator}} the Terminator]], who is extremely calm and collected even when he is [[{{Badass}} kicking ass.]]

[[folder: Literature ]]

* Fëanor ("Spirit of Fire") in ''TheSilmarillion'', whose body cremated itself when he died.
* A villainous example: Couladin from the ''WheelOfTime'', in the ''The Shadow Rising'' you only see him calm in only a few paragraphs and those are always followed by him raging against something.
* DonQuixote was pretty HotBlooded too; he even gave speeches extolling giving it your all and never giving up, and doing this through force of arms, making this OlderThanSteam.
* [[LoisMcMasterBujold Miles Vorkosigan]] can be like this, especially as his alter ego Admiral Naismith.
** ''Forward momentum!''
* King Robert Baratheon from ''{{A Song Of Ice And Fire}}'' should qualify for this as well, especially in his youth.
* Richard Rahl of the ''SwordOfTruth'' series.

* Common in ProfessionalWrestling; the two most famous examples are Hulk Hogan, and Stone Cold Steve Austin. The Ultimate Warrior was so hot blooded that he came off as insane. Listen to one of the Warrior's interviews where he would rant and rave about crap no one ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laiZgrIpbcA including the people working for WWF could understand.]]
** It should be noted that the real life wrestler Warrior once went to a [=UConn=] seminar, and basically screamed lines like "Queering don't make the world work", and causing a near riot through his HotBlooded insanity.
**He also, ''[[TooSoon within two days]] of Heath Ledger's death'' was referring to him in public as 'Leather Hedger', although what he [[DudeNotFunny meant by that]] is, as always, anybody's guess.
** We shall not forget the absolute insanity that was the "Macho Man" Randy Savage.
* Every Red Ranger in ''SuperSentai.'' (''Dekaranger's'' Ban takes it up to eleven, to the point that you wonder how - or ''if'' - he even sleeps.) Reds are ''powered'' by screaming, and going in without a plan because "justice is on our side!" is sometimes a ''deeply-held philosophy,'' with the point of an episode or two being Red proving to a more serious character that you don't need to waste time thinking, you just charge in. When the [[ScreamingWarrior screaming]] begins, you know the FoeTossingCharge is coming! (''PowerRangers'' is different, preferring the OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent.)
** Speaking of the Dekarangers, the whole team was so hot blooded that fire attacks had no effect on them. "Our hearts burn even hotter!"
** [[DidNotDoTheResearch Don't you mean only some of the Red Rangers?]]
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKFif6ze0yE&feature=PlayList&p=DE5E0BFB75E512DB&index=1 Well, yes, some of them. Red Racer for the win!]]
**Exceptions do exist, but the overwhelming majority of them are this character type.
** Also, although PowerRangers tends to use {{Ordinary High School Student}}s, it tends to use ''hot blooded'' ordinary high school students. And if they're not hot blooded in civilian form, they get it when they morph, to match the Super Sentai footage.
***PowerRangers Reds don't take it to the same level. They're also more often the formal team leader, meaning StandardizedLeader qualities must dilute the hotblood. They're more likely to tell the others that they ''do'' need to use their heads.
* Not much in ''KamenRider'', but some of them are veritably HotBlooded. Especially Kuuga and Den-O in Sword Form.
* ''[[TwentyFour 24]]'''s Jack Bauer would like to remind you that he's A FEDERAL AGENT!
** And that he wants everything done... '''NOW'''!
** ...because he is RUNNING OUT OF TIME!!!
** '''DAMMIT!!!'''
* ''ThePractice'' ran on this trope. Bobby Donnell and Eugene Young were the front-runners, but most of the others did not run far behind. It was a rare courtroom scene that didn't contain one of them screaming at a witness... or the prosecutor... or the judge.
*The [[DoctorWho Tenth Doctor]]. Sweet mother of [[UnusualEuphemism TARDIS]], the Tenth Doctor. He's like the literal embodiment of this trope.
** But not ''Six?'' '''NOT SIX?!?'''
* ''{{Friends}}'': The Geller siblings. Ross turns into "Red Ross". His hot bloodedness becomes more apparent when Rachel challenges him to poker.
* ''Series/{{Heroes}}'' [[AddedAlliterativeAppeal Peter Petrelli pulls out his powers when he’s pissed off.]]

[[folder: Music ]]

* JAMProject. For more details, see CrowningMusicOfAwesome.
** [[{{Caphi}} This troper]] was about to quote some lyrics. Then he realized there were too many possibilities to quote. [[http://youtube.com/watch?v=tRx3WDZ8DFM Rocks]] is an excellent candidate for best, though.
**The whole FIREEEEEEE BOMBEEEEEER association helps, too.
** Honestly, just because JAMProject is made of veteran musicians, everyone in it has at least one (and more often several) amazing solo under their belt. Kageyama Hironobu's [[DragonBallZ Cha La Head Cha La]], Masaaki Endoh's [[GaoGaiGar Yuusha-Oh Tanjou]], Fukuyama Yoshiki's [[BusouRenkin Makka na Chikai]]... just for starters.
***Endoh gets bonus points for being able to yell to put every seiyuu to shame: he [[CallingYourAttacks calls several attacks]] in ''[[Mazinkaiser Mazin Kenzan!]]'' and ''Yuusha-Oh Tanjou!'' and the results are epic.
* When you combine the awesomeness of Iron Maiden with the unabashed ridiculousness of Dragon Force, the result is Cryonic Temple, a band whose songwriting seems to rely solely on super-concentrated Hot Blood. Take, for example, the song ''Eternal Flames of Metal;'' it is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin, an ode to metal in the most cheesy style imaginable. Similarly, Strapping Young Lad qualifies with some of its songs, most notably ''Far Beyond Metal.''
** This Troper sees Hot Bloodedness as one of the defining marks of '''all''' Power Metal.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JdbHuvUv18 Nihon Break Kogyou]]: Sounds like a SuperRobot theme song... but it's actually the official song for a Japanese demolition company.
** [[TeamFortressTwo Reliable Excavation and Demoliton?]]
* The {{Foreigner}} song that shares its name with this trope.
** Check it and see. He has a fever of 103.
* Surprisingly for a power metal band, BlindGuardian doesn't seem to have that many of these. However, one song that definitely qualifies is "The Curse of Fëanor" - not exactly surprising, given that it's from the point of view of [[TheSilmarillion Fëanor]].
* Power metal band Lost Horizon are among the most HotBlooded of a genre known for HotBlooded bands, with a male singer, Daniel Heiman, whose MetalScream is so extreme that he can ''hit soprano notes in full voice'', band photos showing the band members dressed up as barbarian warriors, and lyrics largely about egoistic Hot Bloodedness and heavy metal. It's so gloriously cheesy that it's ''[[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome awesome]]''. For the ultimate expression, see [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tev4R4g45Y "Sworn in the Metal Wind"]].
* In the late 80's, {{Pantera}}'s fourth album, Power Metal, changed from generic glam metal to HotBlooded speed/thrash metal. Throughout the 90's all the way to 2003, Pantera practically thrived on a combination of HotBlooded and TestosteronePoisoning.
* The {{Disturbed}} song "Indestructable" seems to be about some HotBlooded character.
* Most songs by DreamEvil are ultimately about kicking ass.
* TenaciousD, full stop.
** "That's me! AAAANDDDD KG!" "That's me!"

[[folder: Mythology ]]

* Hercules (or more accurately Heracles, since that's what the Greeks called him) was one of the very first examples, making this trope OlderThanDirt. He was known for his violent temper and his tendency to act first and ask questions later, starting with maiming some messengers from another city that had come to take tribute from his hometown, leading the king of that other city to declare war. Heracles responded by raising an army of his own and conquering the city, making ''them'' pay tribute instead. Heracles could also take a horrible vengeance on people who crossed him, although in many cases they had it coming, like the three separate kings who had all cheated or insulted him in different ways. On the positive side, this passionate nature did lead him to do some great deeds for his friends, like the time he was so grateful to a friend's hospitality he fought the {{Grim Reaper}} to bring his host's wife back to life, or the time he got so mad that another friend (a king) was deposed that he personally led an army to put his buddy back on the throne.
** Cuchulain, Champion of Ireland, and Gwydion, also from Irish Celtic mythology.
*** Literally so in the case of Cuchulainn. After his first battle, no one could approach the warrior as he was still in his UnstoppableRage, until a [[AmazonBrigade group of (naked!) women]] womenhandled him into three large pots of cold water. The first exploded in a cloud of steam and pot shrapnel, the second boiled furiously, and the third merely got very hot. [[MisappliedPhlebotinum Why the Irishmen did not exploit this apparent energy source is a mystery.]]
* From TheBible, Judge Samson was a HotBlooded WorldsStrongestMan who killed a ''thousand'' Philistines with the jawbone of an ass. After a deadly HumiliationConga that involved a certain [[TheVamp seductress]], RapeOfTheLock ''and'' EyeScream, [[TakingYouWithMe took down]] ''[[TakingYouWithMe hundreds]]'' [[TakingYouWithMe more]] with him by breaking the pillars of a temple. '''[[BadAss Epic]]'''.
** "Hundreds"? Try ''thousands''. "The dead he slew dying exceeded those he had slain living" (Judges 16:30). Who knew that TheBible could take BadAss BeyondTheImpossible?
* Four words: Thor: God of Thunder.
* Inanna from Mesopotamian mythology. Aside her devastating prowess in battle as a war goddess, ignoring the fact she would ride into town on the back of a ''lion'', she was also known for physically dragging men out of taverns to sate her, erm, appetites.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Tabletop Games ]]

* The Vior'la Sept of {{Warhammer 40000}}. Their name even translates into HotBlooded.
* The DungeonsAndDragons supplement, the Tome of Battle, introduced a martial manoeuvre (functionally like a spell for a swordsman) called Iron Heart Surge. The fluff description of it is as follows: ''By drawing on your mental strength and physical fortitude, you break free of a debilitating state that might otherwise defeat you.'' For instance, if the character is paralysed due to the spell ''Hold Person'', Iron Heart Surge allows the affected character to use their sheer hot-bloodedness to eliminate the spell's effect. Needless to say, some players should make use of the [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann famous line of the hot-blooded god]] if using the manoeuvre at a dramatically-appropriate moment.
**Some Chaotic Good characters, particuarlly fighters and Barbarians, will come off like this.
* The Apoc Churls of ''Untold'' have this as their [[PlanetOfHats hat.]] Some have been known to [[BreathPower spew lava out of their mouths]] when angered.

[[folder: Real Life ]]

* Tim Tebow, the Florida Gators quarterback tends to get excited when on the Gators sideline and in the locker room. Hell, even when he's low key, he can give a hot blooded speech!
-->''"I'm sorry. I'm extremely sorry. We were hoping for an undefeated season. That was my goal, something Florida's never done here. But I promise you one thing: a lot of good will come out of this. You have never seen any player in the entire country play as hard as I will play the rest of this season and you'll never see someone push the rest of the team as hard as I will push everybody the rest of this season, and you'll never see a team play harder than we will the rest of this season. God Bless."''
** Of course, it also works as a [[RousingSpeech Rousing Speech]], as well.
*Sports players in general.
** On a similar note, people playing shooters. "BoomHEADSHOT!" indeed.

[[folder: Theater ]]

* Hotspur from {{Shakespeare}}'s ''HenryIV, Part 1''.
* Ditto, Coriolanus from {{Shakespeare}}'s ''Coriolanus''. He is the badass who runs into a city ''without backup'' and comes out a) alive and b) victorious. And that's just the first couple of acts.
* And although {{Hamlet}} is pretending to be mad and ineffectual, he truly seethes with the desire for vengeance: ''"Now could I drink '''hot blood''',/And do such bitter business as the day/Would quake to look on."
* Come on, Shakespeare fans, what about [[RomeoAndJuliet Mercutio and Tybalt]]?
* In RichardWagner's ''Siegfried'', it's ironic for Siegfried to talk about Fafner's blood burning like fire, given that he spent the end of the first act hammering on Nothung while singing at the top of his voice ("Hoho! Hoho! Hohei!")

[[folder: Video Games ]]

* Perhaps the strongest force in the ''SuperRobotWars'' series, rivaled only by the Ideon Gun. In fact, one of the most useful special skills in the series is the "Valor" skill (Doubles the strength of your next attack), which in the original Japanese was called, you guessed it, "Nekketsu" (Hot Blood). In fact, damn near every character in the OriginalGeneration games uses it, even the ''shy'' ones.
** Not just ''OriginalGeneration''; a good number of the licensed anime characters get Valor/Hot Blood, including the primary cast of ''GundamWing'', which consists of TheStoic, TheQuietOne, one BrokenHero, an ArrogantKungFuGuy, and a CuteShotaroBoy, plus a WhitePrince.
** ''Original Generations'', which adds voice acting to the games, shows that the [[BadassNormal Gespenst Mk II S]] turns everybody Hot-Blooded with it's signature LimitBreak, the Gespenst Kick. Seriously. Not only does it have [[http://youtube.com/watch?v=R5Z3DIbrtR0 the shy girls screaming their lungs out]], but the characters who are already Hot-Blooded [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcoMQ2ubyKs turn that sucker up to twenty-two]].
*** '''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DX_IaXs5YQ UNIVEEEEEERSAL!]]''' Enough said.
** SuperRobotWars also quantifies this in the form of the "Will" stat. It starts each battle at 100 and can rise to 150 based on the tides of battle. It affects combat ability a quite a lot (each point of Will is like having your Attack, Defense, Accuracy, and Evasiveness all boost by one point), and certain weapons and effects can only be used over a certain Will value. Certain events (like some Gaogaigar events) will boost this up to '''200''', before any spirit commands...
** Let's not forget Katina Tarask. With Attacker, Revenge (both of which increase her attack/retaliation damage once her Will level exceeds 130 - see above) and Prevail (which makes her fight better - dealing more damage, taking less, and evading more - as her mech sustains more and more damage) and the aforementioned Valor skill, she can deal out some serious hurt, usually yelling all the time (although not as much as Sanger), even when attacking carriers. "Reckless" barely describes her.
*** I SAID, '''''GET OUT OF MY WAY!!!'''''
** However, the crowning glory of the Super Robot Wars series for Hot Blooded characters is Sanger Zonvolt. The series self-styled (but highly deserving of it) Sword That Smites Evil, Sanger takes on all comers and ''owns them all''. Always wielding some form of his Colossal Blade, a gigantic mecha sword that is sometimes THREE TIMES AS LARGE as his mecha, his sword is one that can cut through anything. Also armed with his many idioms and sayings, which he yells right before slicing his poor enemy in half.
*** I AM SANGER ZONVOLT! '''THE SWORD THAT SMITES EVIL!'''
*It's easier to mention which characters are NOT hot blooded in [[DynastyWarriors Koei's]] [[SamuraiWarriors Warriors]] [[WarriorsOrochi series]]. [[WarriorsOrochi Warriors Orochi]] in particular has so much hot blood(being a fusion of both [[DynastyWarriors Dynasty]] and [[SamuraiWarriors Samurai]]), it's amazing the games' boxes didn't melt off the shelves.
* Laharl and Flonne from ''{{Disgaea}}'', and Adell from ''Disagea 2''. And then there's '''Captain Gordon, Defender of Earth!''', who is guaranteed to give it his exclamation-point abusing all no matter what it is. Including [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome picnicking]].
** Disgaea 3 gives us Champloo-sensei, the most {{Badass}}, HotBlooded ''Home Ec'' teacher you will ever find. Yeah, Disgaea's one of ''[[WidgetSeries those]]'' kinds of games.
** Some are of the opinion that ''Disgaea 2'' protagonist Adell is a textbook example of why this trope can be seriously obnoxious if not pulled off right.
* Batsu Ichimonji from ''RivalSchools'' is described [[AllThereInTheManual in the manual]] as the "Hot-Blooded [[NewTransferStudent Exchange Student]]". Furthermore, his SuperMode form in ''Project Justice'' is called "Burning Batsu" and all his special and super moves in that form set the opponent on fire!
** Hell, PE teacher Hayato's surname tells it all, and him having a super move named Burning Stoic that essentially [[NighInvulnerability makes him impervious to pretty much everything one can throw at him]] is a nice bonus. If that doesn't qualify as hot blooded manliness, then this editor doesn't know what would.
*** That would be his CombinationAttack, where he manifests his partner's Hot-Bloodedness into a [[SpiritBomb Genki Dama]] and ''launches'' it at the enemy.
* Kim Kaphwan and his son Kim Jae Hoon from ''TheKingOfFighters'' series.
** There`s also Joe Higashi, who seems to have an exclamation point at the end of everything he says.
** Don't forget the bandana-wearing commando Ralf Jones, also of ''IkariWarriors'' and ''MetalSlug'' fame. When he gets in motion (which is practically ''all the time''), people get beat down. Sometimes [[StuffBlowingUp explosively]].
* Michael Wilson from ''MetalWolfChaos'', president of the great United States of America, yeah!
**More specifically: "Nothing is POINTLESS!. And the reason is.....because I'm the President.... of THE GREAT UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! YEEAAAHHHH!"
-->HOW DO YOU LIKE ME NOW!?!
* Phoenix Wright and Apollo Justice, {{Ace Attorney}}s, are as close as you're ever going to see to hot-blooded ''lawyers'', though they tend to be a bit calmer and quieter outside of the courtroom.
**Note that Apollo Justice takes VOICE TRAINING so he can be this hot-blooded.
** '''''OBJECTION!'''''
*If you're in trouble... if there's not enough hotbloodedness... maybe you need to call... [[OsuTatakaeOuendan OUENDAAAAAN]]!
** Or... e... b... a... e.. b.. a.. e. b. a. e.b.a. E.B.A. EBA! EBA! EBA! EBA! [[EliteBeatAgents ARE YOU READY]]? YEAH!
* [[RiverCityRansom Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-kun]] - He has "Hot Blooded" right there in his series title!
** Hell, his whole damn ''high school'' is named "Nekketsu". That's one bad-ass high school. Somehow, this troper feels his educational years have been horribly wasted by not attending that particular school.
*** And Kunio/Alex himself is the hero of the entire freaking school, being summoned whenever a crisis emerges or a sports challenge comes up. Did I mention his girlfriend can kick ass when she feels like it? If that ain't awesome and totally bad-ass, this troper doesn't know what is. Kunio/Alex isn't as known and respected as he should be, in video games...
* StreetFighter's Dan Hibiki. ''DOUSHITA!?''
** ''OYAJII!!!!''
* Nearly all of the fire bosses in the ''MegaManZero'' and ''[[MegaManZX ZX]]'' series are pretty HotBlooded, including the fire master, Fefnir. Oddly, near the top of the HotBlooded ranking for all six games is an ''ice'' boss, Fenri Lunedge from ''Zero 4''. His attitude to Zero, and more importantly his voice clips, put him probably right under Fefnir himself.
** Another HotBlooded ice boss is Chilldre Inarrabita, to a lesser extent than Fenri Lunaedge. Although he has a partial excuse in being a deliberately juvanille character (Chilldre = child[ren] + chill).
* ''[[TalesSeries Tales]]''. [[TalesOfDestiny Stahn Aileron]]. The boy can be hot-blooded when commanding his allies to flee.
** Not to mention his battle cry in ''Satsugeki Bukouken''/''Final Fury''. '''''ORENENENENENENENENENENE!!!!!!''''' Hot Blood, to the max.
** Surprising considering his personality but not surprising at all considering his voice actor is {{Tomokazu Seki}}, one of the king of Hot Bloodiness.
* Zell in ''FinalFantasyVIII'', and he ''never'' sits still. Put him anywhere near GenkiGirl Selphie and you'll be wishing for Ritalin.
** Forget the Ritalin, get me a sedative!
** Forget the sedative, give me two shots with a gunblade.
*Zack of ''FinalFantasyVII'' is a prime example of this trope, [[spoiler: depressingly]].
**Which is highlighted even further by contrast against the [[CrapsackWorld dark and dreary nature of the world]] the game takes place in, and the general angst of other characters in the game world (especially in the expanded games and movie).
* [[SamuraiShodown My Boiling Blood Bubbles For Battle]]
** Arguably many of KOEI's ''Dynasty Warriors'' and ''Samurai Warriors'' characters, mixed with BloodKnight and BoisterousBruiser.
** It was practically one of the criteria for a mission Ox and Kirikou took on. While we didn't see how it went, it was apparently successful.
* Riki Makishi in ''Bangai-O''. Then again, he is native of a planet populated by hot blooded men.
** Everyone in ''Bangai-O Spirits'', the lighthearted, plot-free DS spinoff, in different ways. Ruri is more enthusiastic, especially when the time comes to shout [[IAmHeroHearMeRoar "Bangai-O GO!"]], while Masato thinks the whole thing is stupid. On the other hand, he's very confident, reckless, always ready to get to the mission already.
* [[TheWorldEndsWithYou Beat.]] Period. Especially when someone touches his Sis or [[BerserkButton mentions his full name...]]
* Minsc from ''[=~Baldur's Gate~=]''.
** "The bigger they are, the harder I hit!"
** "Butt-kicking...FOR GOODNESS!!!"
* The new Willpower power set in CityOfHeroes allows for characters that have [[BadassNormal no super reflexes or resistance]], but can remain up and fighting with the super-powered through sheer force of will. If that's not Hot Blooded, I don't know what is.
* In ''DragonQuestMonsters'', the monsters' ideal personality (which affects their AI) is Hotblood.
* Vyse and Aika in ''SkiesOfArcadia'', among many others.
* Bang Shishigami from ''{{BlazBlue}}''
** "QUICKER THAN THE WIND AND AS STILL AS THE FOREST! HOTTER THAN FLAMES AND MORE MAGNIFICANT THAN A MOUNTAIN!"
* [[FireEmblem Hector of Ostia and Dart the Pirate]], anyone?
** Let's not forget Ross the Journeyman and the Berserker Dozla, either!
* EvilZone: Danzaiver! That is all.
* Fawkes from ''{{Fallout}} 3'' is extremely passionate both about philosophy and about [[WarriorPoet ripping evil doers to shreds.]]
* [[SengokuBasara Sanada Yukimura]]'s soul '''is on fire with passion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'''
* [[AllThereInTheManual According to secondary material]], Fire Man from the original ''MegaMan'' game has a HotBlooded personality.

* The ''TeenTitans'' incarnation of Robin.
** If he counts, then Cyborg '''definitely''' qualifies. He's a bit on the bi-polar side, but when he's "revved up," he makes Robin look like a [[RedOniBlueOni Blue Oni]] by comparison. [=BOO-YAH!!=]
** Although both characters have been known to slip into TranquilFury when channeling {{Batman}}/their robotic side during an especially intense or [[ItsPersonal personal]] situation.
* Quickstrike of ''{{Transformers}}: BeastWars'' fame. Even though he's a [[TheScrappy Scrappy]] of the highest caliber, no one can deny that he throws himself into everything he does. [[AxCrazy Of course, he could just enjoy it.]]
** Dinobot will not, and cannot lose. "What is a warrior without weapons?" "A warrior still!"
