* ''LightNovel/HighSchoolDXD'': Akeno Himejima is a rare heroic example. Being the resident CombatSadomasochist, she has a habit of laughing or giggling while engaging in violence, and even after she kills someone. The most prominent example, when [[TheHero Issei]] offers to take her out on a date as a reward for defeating an opponent, her immediate reaction is to explode in power while giggling uncontrollably.

This is a subtrope of EvilLaugh, and the opposite of DissonantSerenity. It's when a character goes around killing everything in sight and seems to be having a ''lot'' of fun with it, like [[ComicBook/TheJoker Joker]] levels of fun. Especially if the character is LaughingMad.
