(Ryuko Matoi is facing down Grand Couturier Nui Harime for the first time.)
Nui (laughing): No, I don't wear such crude things. (She abruptly teleports behind Ryuko.) But enough about me! Let's have a look at your Kamui! (Ryuko looks behind her, surprised by Nui's apparent speed as Nui squeals in delight. The Grand Couturier's jubilant expression quickly changes to perplexion.) I hope you're not holding back because I'm dressed like this? (She leans in uncomfortably close, making Ryuko back up.) Didn't you see? I defeated that Goku Uniform just now! (She points her finger at Ryuko's forehead.) Don't you worry; you can cut loose with your Kamui's power all you want!
(Ryuko makes no motion to fight, simply staring at Nui with annoyance.)
Nui: Still on the fence about it? (She leaps back.) In that case, wanna see something neat? Ready or not~!
(Nui reaches into her dress and pulls out a large purple blade, which she starts twirling about in an elaborate manner while scatting cheerfully. She then points the blade to the sky: it's the other half of Ryuko's Scissor Blade.)
Nui: TA-DA!
Ryuko (eyes wide in shock): Uh?! That's...!
Nui: Yup! It's the other half of your scissors! I got this from your dear dead daddy!
Ryuko: It was you...? You did it...?
(A deadly silence follows as Ryuko quietly stares at the giggling Grand Couturier with eyes hidden by shadow. Then Ryuko's rage boils over as her Seki-Tekko bracelet literally shoots out its needle without need of her pulling it out!)
Ryuko (transforming into Senketsu's battle form): ...YOU BIIIIIIIIIIITCH!!!!!

After ten years, he has finally let free a wrath that would cower Satan himself.
Wrong, Goblin! YOU'RE THE CREEP WHO'S GOING TO PAY! I'm going to get you, Goblin! I'm going to destroy you slowly... and when you start begging me to end it— I'm going to remind you of one thing. You KILLED the woman I loved! And for that you're going to die!

After all, an angry opponent was a confused opponent, or so experience said. Unfortunately, the opposite held true with Link.
Asuka and Unit 02 continued to rage, a dam within having burst. Everything has to die! Die for your sins! Die! Die like momma died! Die and leave me alone! Always alone! Die!
Rainbow felt as though she could let out a roar mighty enough to shake the earth. Every inch of her body was burning with fury, like a volcano raining doom upon all that surrounded it. A single desire shined brighter and hotter in her mind than any had before: to find whoever had raped Fluttershy, skin him, cut his genitals off, then crush his head under a rock.
The coldness of death had come over Jake, the unfeeling pit he delved into when a kill such as this overcame him. It was why he was named the Grimm Reaper, it was why he was the devil incarnate of earth. It robbed him of morality, of mercy, it was the ultimate point of no return for him. It was the place that could not be surfaced from until the addiction for blood and violence and death was sated. Years of anger, days of frustration, endless torment and a lifetime of loathing all focused into his entire being, the point of the sword that drove him to it.
— Old West
At that, Supergirl knew she had succeeded. Probably a little more than she wanted.
Satan Girl surged forward like an express train, her arms outstretched, and Kara flew through the warp.
In two more seconds, they were at war again, and Satan Girl vowed that she would destroy Supergirl before the anti-matter got anywhere near them.

On the screen, Franklin saw the face of Dr. Doom, caught in a chance shot from wherever the camera was, filling the screen. The cloaked and armored man seemed to be smiling.
The fury and anguish in Franklin's soul were a dormant H-Bomb, and Doom's smile seemed to be the trigger to ignite it.
The fury and anguish in Franklin's soul were a dormant H-Bomb, and Doom's smile seemed to be the trigger to ignite it.
Rage was one hell of a painkiller.
Death didn't come for him. Not now, or ever. Instead all he felt was an all-consuming rage as he punched the stone floor hard enough for it to crack.

Literature
But the horror that paralyzed and destroyed Ascalante roused in the Cimmerian a frenzied fury akin to madness.
Sing, Goddess, sing of the rage of Achilles, son of Peleus, that murderous anger which condemned Achaeans to countless agonies and threw many warrior souls deep into Hades
I burn things to ash and smash holes in buildings when I'm angry. I'm a couple of steps past that point right now.

It is said of those who were shape-changers, or were taken by the berserk-fury, that while it was on them they were so strong that nothing held out against them, but as soon as it left them they were weaker than usual.
Then, without taking counsel or waiting for the approach of the men of the City, [Éomer] spurred headlong back to the front of the great host, and blew a horn, and cried aloud for the onset. Over the field rang his clear voice calling: "Death! Ride, ride to ruin and the world's ending!" And with that the host began to move. But the Rohirrim sang no more. "Death," they cried with one voice loud and terrible, and, gathering speed like a great tide, their battle swept about their fallen king and passed, roaring away southwards.
Even as some part of me noted all of that happening, the rest of me started screaming in raw, red rage, in agony, in denial. I was pretty sure I had worked out who had taken my blasting rod away. I was pretty sure I knew why they'd done it. I even thought that, looked at from a certain point of view, it might not have been an entirely stupid idea.
But as of now, I officially did not care.
I didn't have my blasting rod with me, and I was not sure that my raw power, no matter how furious, would be enough to hurt Tessa through the defenses the Fallen gave her. I had never been able to attain the kind of precision I would need without artificial aid.
As of right now, I officially did not care about that, either.
I focused my rage, focused my anger, focused my hate and my denial and my pain.
I blocked away everything in the entire universe but the thought of my friend's bloody body hanging from that rope, and a spot two inches across in the center of Tessa's chest.

There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man.
— Patrick Rothfuss, The Wise Man's Fear
But Bill Door was already rising and unfolding like the wrath of kings. He reached behind him, growling, living on loaned time, and his hands closed around the harvest scythe.
The crowned Death saw it coming and raised its own weapon, but there was very possibly nothing in the world that would stop the worn blade as it snarled through the air, rage and vengeance giving it an edge beyond any definition of sharpness. It passed through the metal without slowing.
No crown said Bill Door, looking directly into the smoke. No crown, only the harvest.

Nona arched her back right up off the chair and let out a long, bellowing scream, one that went on for ever and ever and ever until her throat broke and healed and broke again and she was screaming blood as well as sound. This was her warning to everyone else. After she had done that, she gave in to the simplicity of anger.

The anger is fueling me, out of my mind
My vision is tunneled, periphery blind
I only see Saiyans much weaker than I
My father was right when he said you should die
We battle and parry, the battlefields wearing to rubble
The dust from the battle is clearing
And what do I see, my father has perished
Breathe in a breath, make it one that you cherish
I'm killing you! Levelling up to the max
You thought I was scary, well, that was relaxed
Beat you in the ground till the planet collapse
Then I'm digging you up and I'm sending you back
I'll murder you, there won't be anything left
And just when you think you're ready for death
I'll give you a break so that you can refresh
And rip you to shreds and then beat on my chest!

My eyes are living lives that I never knew of
I am no longer sure of what time I’m trapped in,
Nor of the battle I now stand here enwrapped in-
Perception feverish as if with a virus;
In every foe I now see visions of Horus!

The Inquisition and the Administratum say we are weak because some of us have given in to the Black Rage... they are wrong! The Black Rage makes us strong, because we must resist its temptations every day of our lives or be forever damned!
— Chaplain Argastes of the Blood Angels, Warhammer 40,000
To face the Blood Angels in battle is to face the unbounded fury of the Primarch Sanguinius himself. To oppose them it to invite your own doom. They fight like madmen, possessed of a bloodthirst wholly unnatural and abhorrent. That something more than fervent faith drives them to their acts of bloodshed is certain.

—Opening Narration, Doom (2016)
"In the first age, in the first battle, when the shadows first lengthened, one stood. Burned by the embers of Armageddon, his soul blistered by the fires of Hell and tainted beyond ascension, he chose the path of perpetual torment. In his ravenous hatred he found no peace; and with boiling blood he scoured the Umbral Plains seeking vengeance against the dark lords who had wronged him. He wore the crown of the Night Sentinels, and those that tasted the bite of his sword named him… The Doom Slayer."

And you know, I really wanted to give it a chance because I KIND OF LIKED the idea of finding clues and figuring out where to go, like it made you think like a detective. But one guy?! NO continues?! Like, seriously. Give me a reason why there's no continues? Why are there NO continues?! WHY ARE THERE NO FUCKING CONTINUES????!!!! WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY????????!!!!!!! *chugs down beer and screams into a pillow* FUCK!!!!! FUCK!!!!! FUCK! Fucking! Fuckin'! Fuck! FUCK! Fuuuuuck! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!

Doom: (to the recently re-transformed Ben Grimm) Feeling the weight of the world on your misinformed shoulders? My bipolar amplifier increases the force of gravity on you a thousandfold.
(Ben tries to stand up, but collapses. Then, seething, he starts forcing himself back up anyway...)
Doom: (backing away, horrified) ...No. It's not possible!
(Ben tears the device off his back and crushes it, then charges at Doom. Doom holds out his gauntlets, but Ben grabs them before he can fire and squeezes, crushing the weapons and Doom's hands along with them. Doom screams in pain and falls to his knees)
Ben: YOU! You're the reason I'm the Thing again! The reason Alicia ain't never gonna have a normal life with me! Now you're gonna pay!

Blossom: MOJO!
Mojo: [lying in bed with the candy] Back so soon? [puts a piece of candy in his mouth] Ooh.
Blossom: We had a deal, Mojo.
Mojo: Don't get me wrong. Destroying Townsville on a daily basis is a pretty good gig, but to be able to take away that which gave you so much joy, to destroy your happiness, is just so much more satisfying to the soul. If only I could have seen the look on your faces when you realized, I think I can imagine.
Blossom: You're a bad monkey, Mojo.
Mojo: [giddily] I know!
[The girls scream in rage at the top of their lungs as they proceed to beat Mojo to a bloody pulp]
