* In ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'', this describes Guts during the Golden Age arc. Griffith observes that Guts' recklessness on the battlefield is motivated not by having a death wish, but rather by the thrill of fighting for his life. After the Hundred Year War ends and it looks like Midland will be peaceful, Guts decides to leave the Band of the Hawk partly because he wouldn't know what to do with himself in the Hawks' new position of respectability, and because he wants to master the sword by challenging himself with ever tougher fights and adventures until he can become Griffith's equal. After the Eclipse this motivation is replaced by his desire to protect Casca and avenge his fallen comrades.
* ''Franchise/DragonBall'':
** Because of Goku's SpiritedCompetitor nature, he is at his happiest when he's fighting, either for fun or for his life. When he hears that there is someone stronger than Vegeta, someone who literally crushed every bone in his body not even a month ago, he's all but giddy at the idea of fighting them. Beerus is the God of Destruction who [[TheDreaded the other gods fear]]? Goku challenges him to a sparring match. The other Gods of Destruction and their strongest warriors are after Goku since he put their universe in danger? He's more than happy to fight all of them and says so to their faces. Goku even admits that he fights at his best when he's on the edge. Pretty much the defining feature of the [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Saiyan race]]. They simply love fighting strong opponents.
** Bulma doesn't ''consistently'' revolve around this trope, but she's a PluckyGirl by nature, so when it does crop up, it's never out of place. Such as, for example, her insistence on taking her infant son to see her hero friends fight killer cyborgs. And her rationale for meeting Frieza face-to-face? If he's a PlanetDestroyer, she may as well face her doom head-on than pointlessly hide from it.
* ''Characters/LupinIII'' and his gang never grow tired of their life.
** In ''Anime/TheCastleOfCagliostro'', Lupin III and Jigen discover that their careful heist had netted counterfeit money. They laugh it off, Jigen declaring that he didn't want to retire anyway.
* At the end of ''Anime/{{Monster}}'', [[spoiler:Tenma refuses a teaching post at uni and joins the MSF instead.]]
* ''Franchise/OnePiece'':
** Luffy simply chooses the hardest, most difficult paths in his adventure just because he thinks that will be the most exciting. He lives on the adventure. Meanwhile, Zoro is definitely of the SpiritedCompetitor mold, always on the watch for worthy opponents, and seemingly bored when not fighting and/or drinking.
** Though honestly it applies to the entire crew to some extent. Besides almost all of them leaving home to become pirates when describing how the dangerous and hellish the New World is, every last one of them is smiling.
* ''Anime/TenchiUniverse'' ends with all the craziness ended, Tenchi at home safe, and him being bored to have a normal life. Of course, Ryoko's reappearance in literally the last minute of the last episode provides Tenchi the promise of being in harm's way all over again, [[AndTheAdventureContinues albeit off-camera]].
* This happens at the end of ''Anime/TigerAndBunny'', after [[spoiler:Wild Tiger coming back into action as Wild Tiger ~ 1 minute, at the end of the last episode]].
