History HairTriggerTemper / AnimeAndManga

** In ''Anime/DragonBallZBattleOfGods'', most of the threat Beerus provides is in the combination of his incomprehensible power and ''extremely'' short fuse. He authorized the destruction of planet Vegeta because King Vegeta only gave him the second-comfiest pillow, and nearly blew up the Earth because Majin Buu wouldn't share his pudding cup with him. When he first appears in ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'', he opts to ''only'' destroy half of a planet because its food was merely ''adequet''.

* ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'' has [[BloodKnight Katsuki Bakugo]] (pictured on the trope's main page image), who has a ridiculously fiery and explosive temper with [[HavingABlast a Quirk]], a [[AtrociousAlias rather tacky]] yet incredibly fitting Hero Name ("Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight") and an AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance to match. He frequently yells at people to "DIE!!" -- even when ''brushing his teeth'', fights his foes with absolute ferocity, is a {{jerkass}} to most people around, [[ScreamingWarrior shouts a lot]] and has a [[GutturalGrowler gruff-sounding roaring voice]]. CharacterDevelopment has shown this young man a little calmer and more mature since the series beginning, but he's still an [[UnstoppableRage EXTREMELY angry, raging, foaming-at-the-mouth-feral maniac]].

* Tsukihi Araragi from ''Literature/{{Bakemonogatari}}'', to the point where her brother describes her as having hysteria.

** Chi-Chi... big time. Her temper has caused almost every character she confronted to fear her (well, except Super Buu).

** [[TroubledButCute Kyo]] is like this early on in the manga/anime, particularly towards Tohru and [[TheRival Yuki]], but he calms down as the series goes on.

* ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'': Here are just a few examples:
** England. '''''Especially''''' when it comes to [[LovableSexManiac France]] and [[LoveFreak America]].
** Germany. Of course, considering how he has to deal with [[TheMillstone Italy]]'s antics, it's hard not to see why.
** Chances are, if you're a male country, you REALLY better watch yourself if you're around Romano. Even if you're Spain, and ESPECIALLY if you're Germany.

** Joseph Joestar has this during ''Manga/BattleTendency'', though by the events of ''Manga/StardustCrusaders'', he's shown to have mellowed out.

* Naru and Motoko from ''Manga/LoveHina'' start off with this trope, exaggerated in the anime, though this happens less often once Keitaro manages to eventually win them over.

** Kakuzu is stated to have one, although it's more of an InformedFlaw.

** The episode "The Song of Jigglypuff" has an entire town full of these, to the point that one Officer Jenny (who herself seems a little on edge) has to go around town breaking up fights. This is because nobody there gets enough sleep (being the Pokémon equivalent of Las Vegas and all). Ash manages to avoid getting beaten up thanks to said Officer Jenny breaking up the almost-fight, but Team Rocket was [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown out of luck]].

* Akane Tendo from ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'' can sometimes come off as this around Ranma Saotome, mainly in the earlier parts of the anime and manga.

** Amy Rose also qualifies. But this is due to being a {{Tsundere}} with [[MoodSwinger mood swings]] and whenever Sonic has better things to do than to be romantically involved with her. [[{{Flanderization}} This was taken too far as the series progresses]].
* Anime/{{Tamagotchi}}:
** Although she is friendly, Memetchi is ''very'' easily angered, especially in The Power of Gossip, this is apart of her {{The McCoy}} tendencies.
** [[BrattyHalfPint Madonnatchi]] is no better.
** Kikitchi too, this fits his bratty personality.

* ''Anime/VisionOfEscaflowne'':
** Dilandau Albatou from seems to be a combination between Hair-Trigger Temper and a PsychoForHire.
** Dilandau's [[{{Expy}} spiritual successor]] Clair Leonelli, from ''Anime/HeatGuyJ'', also possesses a Hair-Trigger Temper.
* Maho from ''Manga/WanderingSon'' gets mad at everything. Saori is a more mild case and has tried to change.
* In ''Anime/BakutenShootBeyblade'', this was a mild case for Tyson Granger. Sadly, [[{{Flanderization}} his anger gets more frequent as the show goes on]].

** Kakuzu is stated to have one, although it's more of an {{Informed Flaw}}

* Tsukihi Araragi from ''LightNovel/{{Bakemonogatari}}'', to the point where her brother describes her as having hysteria.

* Shizuo Heiwajima of ''LightNovel/{{Durarara}}'' has a hair-trigger temper and [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower monstrous strength]] to go along with it. However, he's aware and ashamed of his violent habits and wants to get "strong enough" to keep a lid on them. There's one scene where hearing that someone has been harassing his friend Celty, he starts muttering "Kill them kill them kill them kill them..." Celty tells him to try to calm down, and Shizuo responds that ''he is'': he hopes that by muttering those words it will release enough of his anger that he won't ''actually'' go and kill them.

* ''LightNovel/{{Slayers}}'': Lina, Lina, ''Lina...'' insult her appearance (namely her [[ACupAngst small bustline]]), deny her food or money, spill her food, upstage her -- any of these warrants either some sort of [[FantasticNuke explosion]], screaming, or physical harm. Two egregious examples are Lina nearly drowning Amelia in a hot spring after Amelia makes a lighthearted joke about [[BreastExpansion growing her bustline]], and Lina nuking an entire restaurant for the owner accidentally stepping on a sardine she was eating (which she ''didn't want in the first place'') in the ColdOpen of ''Slayers Premium.'' While she has always had a short temper, though, later anime productions [[{{Flanderization}} flanderize]] it.
