— Symphogear

---

• Akane Maniax:
  • Ryouko Subaru is a lot more competent, but loves performing the archetypal Hot-Blooded battle cry "Ora ora ora ora!" when charging the enemy.
• Many characters in Attack on Titan, which is often the only thing that keeps them going due to the hopelessness of their situation.
  • Deconstructed, when Eren's Hot Bloodedness ends up getting his entire squad killed within the first few minutes of combat. The only reason anyone survives is because Eren's Lovecraftian Superpower manifests for the first time, saving him after he's swallowed by a Titan and also saving Armin in the process. But since Eren runs on The Power of Hate and pure, terrifying determination it more often than not works out for him otherwise.
  • Reiner Braun is almost as hot-blooded as Eren, but a little smarter about it. It results in some truly epic moments of badassery, though he tempers his passion by being very group-minded. Clinging to it is the only thing that snaps him out of his Villainous BSoD.
  • Pick any battle scene. More than likely, the soldiers will be pumped up on this to counter the Primal Fear of being Eaten Alive and the high likelihood of having Red Shirt status.
• Deconstructed with Ban Shogo from Bambino!. Ban is quick-tempered and gets easily riled up at minor provocations, and his brash reactions tend to get himself and other people into trouble.
• The title character of Birdy the Mighty is very rowdy and quick to anger, to the point that Noble Top Enforcer Gomez calls her out on her inability to control her temper.
• Black Clover:
  • Asta is extremly enthusiastic about his dream and is always giving everything his maximum effort and with his frequent screaming that always hypes up his already energetic attitude. This can also be used with his near unstoppable determination when he really gets his blood boiling and will push himself beyond his limits with sheer fiery willpower and taken to greater lengths when angered as he becomes very passionate and is veru willing to overpower his enemies for unleashing his fury.
  • Magna Swing is loud-mouthed and passionate about whatever he does, whether it's throwing fireballs in battle or getting annoyed with his fellow Black Bulls.
  • The Vermillion Family are, for the most part, explosive, strong-headed and loud. Leopold is very passionate and brash, acting without thinking. Yuno refers to him as another muscle-head like Asta. Mereoleona can be very short-tempered and fierce. Fuegoleon is not as bad as his siblings, but he has his moments.
• Bleach:
  • In Karakura Town, Don Kanonji and Isshin Kurosaki (his public persona, at least, in the latter's case).
  • Keigo also fits this trope in a way, since the dude lives his entire life in a colorful, energetic fast-forward. He does everything big and passionate! He's not particularly brave and enthusiastic about fighting, though. Then he partially lampshades this by playing Hisagi Shuuhei, since that character, despite being many things, is not hot-blooded.
  • Also, Grimmjow is about as hot blooded as they come, as is Nobuyuki Hiyama's Madarame Ikkaku.
  • Avirama Redder, Barragan's hyperactive, battle-hungry fraccion, beats them all in hot-bloodedness. He's even color-coded.
  • The Vandenreich have Bambietta Basterbine, Candice Catnipp and Bazz-B. All of them are passionate and quick-tempered people, and they all have matching powers.
  • Byakuya Kuchiki was more excitable as a kid. The present storyline all but confirms that he's still this — he's just very, very, very good at hiding it.
  • Renji Abarai is quite hot-blooded, especially in the earlier chapters of the manga. However, after the timeskip, he seems to have calmed down a little but, but it's still very much there.
• Bo Bo Bo Bo Bo Bo Bo: One of Bo-Bo-Bo's secret techniques is the "Romanticized Heat Flame Macho Men", where the enemy's soul is burned by the heroes's sheer Hot Bloodedness. They're so Hot Blooded that they defeat death and eventually destroy the sun.
• Phantom F. Harlock from Captain Harlock who is a very passionate man, despite being The Stoic.
• Keroberos of Cardcaptor Sakura counts a great deal of the time. Especially when he's demanding food, eating food, freaking out over the latest mishap, or protecting Sakura.
• Case Closed has the "School Detective of the West", Heiji Hattori, who is hotblooded and impulsive to the freaking MAX. It's both a pro (he works nonstop to solve cases and bring justice thanks to his determination) and a con (he either jumps into conclusions or puts himself in needless trouble for it).
• Touma Kamijou of A Certain Magical Index can get rather hot-blooded on occasion. The trigger varies, but it's mainly when someone is in danger or hurt.
  • Mikoto Misaka of A Certain Scientific Railgun is even more hot blooded than Touma.
• Karin from "Chibi☆Devi!" is the quickest of the babies to lose her temper, which doesn't take much. Though in a twist of irony, her magic is ice based, while the much more even tempered Mao gets fire.
• Rosette Christopher from Chrono Crusade, 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.
• Taishi from Comic Party. Did you know manga is Serious Business? If not, then you don't know Taishi, a grandiose drama king who treats everything as a matter of life or death.
  • 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).
• Dear Brother is a melodramatic oldschool shoujo, so it has intensely emotional characters. Among the most hotblooded girls we have Kaoru "Kaoru-no-Kimi" Orihara, Tomoko Arikura and specially Mariko Shinobu.
• In Death Note this is averted with L, who's generally calm and level-headed despite being voiced by the aforementioned Kappei Yamaguchi. Light too is generally pretty stoical though he's pretty passionate about his cause in private and gets quite hammy with his speeches. Mikami has his moments as well. But Mello is definitely the most Hot-Blooded one in the series.
• And Akira Fudo from Devilman. He can give Vegeta from Dragon Ball a run for his money any day.
• Every main hero in every Digimon canon ever, except Takato who, like the rest of Tamers, was a deliberate breaking of the mold. They all have the matching Personality Powers, and some do it much more than others.
  • Masaru Daimon, The Hero of Digimon Data Squad, whose hot-blooded force of will grants him the ability to punch out everything from giant chickens to god itself.
    • 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 parodied in a one off crossover special of Digimon V-Tamer 01, where Taichi faces off against Canon Immigrant Ryo, who had crossed over just for that special. A powerful Digimon sent by Daemon 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.
  • Daisuke Motomiya of Digimon Adventure 02, who has what looks to be the start of what could become some truly epic sideburns, and one of the most powerful attacks available to one of his partner V-mon's forms is the Stoner Sunshine, as seen in movie 3. Also, in the final battle he shrugs off the Lotus-Eater Machine which claims all of his friends out of pure hotblooded determination to end the Big Bad, no matter how many orders of magnitude more powerful he is than V-mon.
  • Subverted with Taiki, the lead of Digimon Fusion, who, while certainly passionate, counterbalances it by actually being a level-headed strategist and the single most cunning protagonist in any Digimon incarnation. Meanwhile, it's played epically straight with his partner Shoutmon, probably the hotblooded monster character in the franchise, and possibly is even more hotblooded than Masaru. Then came Tagiru of Digimon Xros Wars: The Young Hunters Who Leapt Through Time, who blurs the line between hot blood and Keet; steam blasts out of his nose when he's excited.
    • Fusion also happens to offer an excellent condensation of pure anime hot blood into musical form.
• 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, with Goku being the exception to the rule. Goku's still a Determinator, which is bad news for his opponents.
• Fairy Tail. The guild, but particularly Natsu.
  • Because of Natsu's Flames of Emotion technique, whenever he's feeling particularly hot-blooded he will catch fire. This is Played for Laughs about as often as it is Played for Drama.
• Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works] has Taiga Fujimura, Shirou's English teacher and older sister-figure. She says and does everything energetically, and doesn't seem to have an "indoor voice."
• Fist of the North Star has a number of hot-blooded characters, but curiously, the main character isn't one of them. Raoh seems to go from Aloof Big Brother to Hot-Blooded badass at the drop of a hat, in particular when he's confronted with a Worthy Opponent. In fact, his death was so hot-blooded that he burned away the constantly overcast clouds while sending his own soul to Heaven, lifting a good amount of depression from the Crapsack World on his way to, presumably, go kick God's ass.
• Kyo Sohma from Fruits Basket. Short-tempered, passionate, competitive, and persistent, he rivals Vegeta in the possible Trope Namer category. He even has his own Goku of sorts in Yuki whom he has a poor relationship with for most of the series. However, his qualification for this trope fades away as Character Development takes its place.
• Major Armstrong from Fullmetal Alchemist, resident Large Ham, WHOSE HOT-BLOODEDNESS HAS BEEN PASSED DOWN THE ARMSTRONG LINE FOR GENERATIONS!
• Tasuki of Fushigi Yuugi is a Fiery Redhead who uses a screaming fire attack as his main mode of offense... and he becomes genuinely and completely enraged when brainwashed Tamahome breaks Miaka's heart, and proceeds to give a furious lecture expounding on how horrible it is. That's right, he is so Hot-Blooded that speechifying in defense of a 15-year-old schoolgirl's feelings somehow only makes him look MORE badass.
• Hayato Kazami, the protagonist of Future GPX Cyber Formula, is this. Also being a Determinator, with the help of Asurada, he often comes out on top every time.
• Yankumi in Gokusen is another example, although many other characters also qualify.
• For a mere school teacher, Great Teacher Onizuka is quite Hot-Blooded. 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.
  • And that was just the first story arc. Later in the series, he's driving motorcycles off highway overpasses and coming back from the dead to teach life lessons.
• 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!
• Alec from Sandy Bell has a Dark and Troubled Past due to his drug addict Abusive Dad, and constantly butts heads with Sandybell at their job. He swears to outdo her because he wants to see her face as she's defeated by him.
• Prussia from Hetalia: Axis Powers is a crazier version of this. "Mission complete! Praise me! Hail me! On your knees!"
  • In his official profile, Iceland is described as "hot-blooded and passionate." Although, in the very few strips he's shown up in, he seems to be just as stoic as his older brother Norway, that is, until the "Biiiig Brooooother" thing comes up, in which he gets into an irritated fit.
    • He did seem quite determined in the Christmas special. Maybe it just takes time for his volcano to erupt.
  • Denmark is also an example, right down to being boisterous and having a lot of fun in fights.
  • Hungary isn't that hotblooded at first sight, as she's a sweet and kind Team Mom. Give her a weapon and send her out to protect Austria, though...
    Hungary: Crush vital regions, crush vital regions... CRUSH PRUSSIA! CRUSH PRUSSIA!
  • Among the other girls, Seychelles and Belarus have their own Hotblooded moments. The first rejects England's claims on her without hesitation, the second goes very competitive in Hetaween 2011.
  • Turkey is also pretty hotblooded when he wants to. Put him next to Greece and both of them will go Hot-Blooded. and start fighting each other.
  • Among the Asians, the closest to the Hot-Blooded archetype is South Korea.
• Reus in I Got My Wish and Reincarnated as the Villainess (Last Boss)! gets fired up when he smells a fight or a challenge. According to Luna, this is notably different than how he was in the game—that is, when the protagonist didn't reincarnate into Elizabeth Maxwell.
• Inuyasha, voiced by Kappei Yamaguchi, who also voiced Ranma Saotome, the character the former's based on.
• Downplayed in Jigoku no Gouka de Yakare Tsuzuketa Shounen. Flare is passionate about his training to the point of doing double the amount of exercise his master told him to. But he's easygoing and carefree outside of that, only getting heated up (along with his hellfire) in tense situations.
• In JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, it's practically a requirement to be Hot Blooded to be a JoJo, along with being badass.
  • Jonathan Joestar from Phantom Blood. The difference between his Hot Bloodedness and Dio's is while Dio gets sloppier, Jonathan only comes back stronger.
  • Robert E. O. Speedwagon is so Hot Blooded that he cures frostbite using his chest.
  • Joseph Joestar is one of the more emotional JoJos in the series, a trait often combined with his status as a Large Ham.
  • Battle Tendency:
    • As the audience gets to know him better, Caesar Zeppeli is shown to be this. It's also the thing that ends up getting him killed.
    • The Pillar Man Esidisi is both the oldest and most hotheaded of the three^note  Technically four, but they ditch Santana in Mexico , enough for him to have to cry to calm himself down. His personality extends to his abilities; Esidisi can cook his foes alive by using his super-heated blood by transferring it though his veins or by blowing himself up.
  • Jotaro manages to somehow combine this with being The Stoic. He will rarely express himself above flat statements despite powering through opponents like a knife through butter. It takes hammering his Berserk Button (or being female and trying to get his attention) to get him to actually show his Hot Bloodedness.
  • Muhammed Abdul from Stardust Crusaders is usually one of the calmer heroes in the series. However, he's also quite short-tempered, as shown during the battle against Daniel J. D'Arby.
  • Jean-Pierre Polnareff is an Emotional Bruiser who's constantly dripping Manly Tears.
  • Okuyasu Nijimura from Diamond Is Unbreakable is this. Combined with being an Idiot Hero, he tends to rush into things without thinking.
  • Narancia Ghirga from Golden Wind has a Hair-Trigger Temper, and as a result tends to end up spending most his fights yelling.
  • Ermes Costello from Stone Ocean is extremely impulsive, a trait that tends to get her into a lot of trouble.
  • Johnny Joestar from Steel Ball Run is probably the most outwardly aggressive of the JoJos.
• As Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple receives Training from Hell he also becomes distinctly more Hot-Blooded.
  • His masters Appachai and Sakaki were like this to begin with.
• Ryuko from Kill la Kill is this in more ways than one. Not only does she fit this trope in her traditional sense, but during her Unstoppable Rage in episode 12, her blood literally boils with rage. This could actually count as a deconstruction, since this basically poisons her blood-powered outfit and turns her into an Lovecraftian monstrosity unable to distinguish allies from enemies.
• The Bakunetsu Bancho from Kongoh Bancho is exactly this. Repeatedly screams that "Men who aren't hot-blooded should die!", as seen here.◊
  • Appropriately, his hair seems to be on fire.
• As a sports manga, Kuroko's Basketball naturally has this all over the place, but special mention goes to Kagami.
• Parodied by Meito Anizawa, AKA Anime Tenchou, the Mascot of anime outlet Animate and frequent special guest on Lucky Star: So Hot-Blooded he 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.
  • In the Lucky Star in Budokan live event, Tomokazu Seki even cosplayed as Anizawa and he attacked Minoru Shiraishi with Shining Finger.
  • 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.
    • Even the President is Hotblooded, even moreso than Anisawa. Sadly he only makes one brief appearance at Comiket.
  • Anime Tenchou is so Hot-Blooded, in fact, that demons summon him to set enemies on fire.
• Lucy-May of the Southern Rainbow has Lucy's big brother Ben. When Mr. Pettywell held up the line and claimed he should be prioritized because of his money, Ben cursed him out because Clara was ill and he was barring her from leaving the ship. When Mr. Jamling chose to work for Mr. Pettywell, Ben became frustrated and dubbed him a "traitor". In response to this, Arthur Popple replied that it was solely his right to work with whoever he pleased and they had to respect it. Many An Aesop is of Ben learning to channel his anger properly.
• Subaru of Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS, who's a massive Shout-Out to GaoGaiGar and Super Robots in general.
  • Subaru is something of a subversion as outside of battle, she's actually more of a mild-mannered Genki Girl, who serves as a foil for her Tsundere teammate, Teana.
  • Vita is even more Hot-Blooded. She attacks and destroys everybody with pure Hot-Blooded anger. Her hammer Graf Eisen is also a Shout-Out to Guy's Goldion Hammer.
  • The series in general, especially considering it's a Magical Girl anime.
• In March Comes in Like a Lion, Issa Matsumoto is about as hot-blooded as one could be as a shogi player, vowing to defeat Rei in an early match using his "Way of Shogi."
• Obviously, the Navis belonging to Hino Ken of Mega Man Battle Network, 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 MegaMan NT Warrior.
• Mischievous Twins: The Tales of St. Clare's: In the first episode, Patricia can't control her rage when she's told she has to go to Saint Clare's, and argues with her parents. At Saint Clare's, she gets into verbal arguements with the other girls (particularly Janet) because they dislike her behaviour.
• Saikawa from Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid is very belligerent and confrontational, often biting more than she can chew. She's mellower and more sociable in Kanna's manga spinoff.
• Two of them in Monster Musume; ironically, one is physically cold-blooded and the other is just cold:
  • Miia is very, very, VERY passionate about her "darling," shamelessly flaunting her assets and seducing him at every possible opportunity. (It doesn't work.)
  • MON has Zombina, who happily twirls her guns to shoot through herself and at a target behind her. Since she's already dead, her only real concern is looking cool.
• If you had to describe Inasa Yoarashi from My Hero Academia in one word, this trope would be your best choice. He has No Indoor Voice whatsoever, loves getting into the thick of battle, and this trope is almost quoted verbatim at his profile page as his favorite thing. His very introduction has him join U.A. students in shouting "Plus Ultra!" and then apologise by bowing so hard he hits the pavement and injures his forehead.
  "I believe that heroes are hot-blooded! Everybody fighting!! Everybody's fired up!! I love it when things get hot!!"
• My-HiME has Haruka Suzushiro, head of Fuka Academy's Executive Committee, who once kicked a tank. And head-butted a Hime even as she starts dying. My-Otome has her equivalent, Haruka Armitage, who makes her debut hoisting an aircraft.
• Naruto and Might Guy from Naruto. In Shippuden, Guy actually uses a technique known as Morning Peacock, a high-level technique to shoot fire from his fists in such a flurry it resembled the bright feathers of a peacock. And no, it's not ninjutsu; he's just so damn hot-blooded the friction of his fist against the air starts a fire.
  • And Rock Lee too. He's Guy's protege, so he's like this also. He was nicknamed the "Hot-Blooded Dropout".
    • When Lee and Guy hug, the sheer amount of passion generated is enough to warp reality and cause a cliffside sunset to appear... indoors in the middle of a perfectly level forest.
    • Fanon is that it's Guy's Genjutsu.
  • Kiba's also quite Hot-Blooded — according to Naruto, even more so than he, himself, is. Whenever Kiba's name is posted on this site, it is a link back to this page.
  • Naruto's mother, Kushina, was more Hot-Blooded than everyone else, earning the nickname Red Hot-Blooded Habanero.
  • Didn't someone say "hotblooded Sakura Haruno" in another article?
  • When the seventh gate is opened, Gai's hot blood goes supernova. Instead of his punches that shoot fireballs, he can punch a tiger face made of awesomeness into existence. Just ask Kisame.
    • And it wasn't just fire, oh no, according to him(at least in the anime) the bear(it was a bear in the anime) he punched was made of youthful vigour. Let me reiterate that: the man punched to create a bear made of youthful vigour. Reactions are still mixed as to whether or not this counts as Deus ex Machina so he could beat the aforementioned spoilerd character.
  • Gai's Eighth Gate takes Hot-Blooded to an entirely new level, as his sweat aura makes way for a blood vapor. Which he uses to attain aerial movement by kicking the air with such force that it acts as a platform, create massive elephant stomps by merely punching the air, and ultimately create a titanic dragon aura out of his chakra, blood, and ash, centering on a relativistic-speed kick.
• Negima! Magister Negi Magi:
  • Jack Rakan is hot-blooded to the point of utter absurdity. And any problem can be solved by summoning a big enough sword. Or by flexing.
  • Ricardo is a hot-blooded senator of a major country. The two used to be drinking buddies before Ricardo started doing the politician thing.
  • On the villain side, we have Secundum, the Psycho Electro of Kosmo Entelecheia. His creator admitted to dialing all his emotions up to eleven in an attempt to understand Nagi's Heroic Willpower.
• Nora isn't hot-blooded; hot-blooded characters are merely infected with the Nora Plague.
• Luffy from One Piece.
  • Luffy's "Gear Second" form which involves him using his rubberman powers to pump his blood around faster than normal with the resulting increase in temperature causing steam to rise from his body. In other words, when in Gear Second, he's powered by hot blood!
  • Sanji too. He burns with the passion of love! In fact, his blood burns so hot that it's the reason he can avoid injury from setting his own leg on fire.
    • Post-timeskip, his "Hell Memories" technique sets his entire body on fire.
  • And Zoro as a kid, before...stuff happened.
  • Boa Hancock gets this way whenever Luffy is involved (except whenever he's actually in her presence, though).
• Pokémon: The Series:
  • Ash Ketchum, almost to the point of Flanderization (alongside Idiot Hero). He's gotten a good deal more mature in recent years, but being Hot-Blooded to the max comes naturally considering he's voiced by Mrs. Rica Matsumoto. A good example comes in the first movie, when he faces down the Physical God Mewtwo, who uses his near-infinite psychic powers to disable all the other Pokemon present. Ordinary 10-year-old boy Ash's response? Punch him in the face! Unfortunately, it doesn't work out well for him.
  • Some rivals of Ash are also pretty Hot-Blooded, 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 is actually so Hot-Blooded that when she and Ash face off, they often stare at each other and fire erupts in the background, with Brock and May lampshading the trope by commenting on how passionate and similar they are.
  • 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 One Piece (the dub successfully matches this performance with Dan Green), and most of his scenes in the battle with Ash look like they may have been inspired from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann!
  • Crossing into Pokémon Adventures, we have our share of hot blood pumping around. Gold and Pearl in particular demonstrate this quality in spades.
    • And Black manages to beat them all. He feels the need to scream out his dreams over a cliff on a near-daily basis. He can't think of anything else besides becoming "THE CHAMPION OF THE POKEMON LEAGUE!" and being unable to function in daily life without his Munna eating his dreams.
  • Other manga have their share of Hot-Blooded protagonists. Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl Adventure! has Hareta, Pokémon Golden Boys has Gold, Pocket Monsters has Red, etc.
• Pretty Cure:
  • Akane Hino/Cure Sunny of Smile Pretty Cure!. She even describes herself as "hot-blooded" in her I Am Hero, Hear Me ROAR! speech.
  • Erika Kurumi/Cure Marine and Kumojaki from HeartCatch Pretty Cure! fits this, despite the fact the former is water-elemental.
• Takashi Kawamura from The Prince of Tennis looks meek and gentle and a bit of a doormat, but if you give him a racket, he wakes up to his hidden Hot-Blooded side and nothing can stop him. BUUUUUURRRRRRNIIIIIIINNNNNGGG, indeed. His kouhai Takeshi Momoshiro (who also is a power player, like Kawamura) and local Genki Girl cheerleader Tomoka Osakada are also Hot-Blooded, but not to the awesome 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.
  • Mukahi Gakuto of Hyoutei, whom immediately did his acrobatics because of Kikumaru. Also oftens bicker with Shishido.
  • Akaya Kirihara from Rikkaidai counts as this, until his Blood Knight side arises.
  • Akira Kamio from Fudomine as well. He'll do it WITH RHYTHM~
  • Fiery Redhead and Genius Ditz Kintarou "Kin-chan" Tooyama.
  • And there's also Kunimitsu Tezuka. Yes, THAT Tezuka. But exclusively in regards to tennis.
  • In the TV series, Kevin Smith also has his Hot-Blooded moments.
• Kaoru of Psychic Squad. Not only is she lecherous, ridiculously over the top in her day to day life, but she calls her attacks when it's completely unnecessary as her powers are psychic in nature. Minamoto also does this whenever he releases the girls' psychic limiters for no other reason than adhering to the Rule of Cool.
• Shizuma Kusanagi from Real Bout High School, a pompous showboat with explosive moves and the only one who can hold a candle to The Hero, Ryoko Mitsurugi.
• Ryohei Sasagawa from Reborn! (2004) 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? VOOOOOIIIIIIII indeed.
• In The Red Ranger Becomes an Adventurer in Another World, Tougo approaches almost everything in life with zeal and enthusiasm. Almost nothing is able to get him down and he's never not shouting at the top of his lungs as he rushes off to do some other improbable thing. His eyes even light up with fire when he's especially excited.
  Idola: How are you so passionate about everything?!
• Ryo Sanada aka Rekka No Ryo/Ryo of Wildfire in Ronin Warriors is the passionate Playing with Fire leader. While hotblooded, not the most hotblooded on the team. That title goes to Kento/Shu Rei Faun and they both sport Hot-Blooded Sideburns.
• Sanosuke Sagara (mostly), Sagara's father Kamishimoemon, and Yahiko Myoujin from Rurouni Kenshin.
  • 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 Makoto Shishio, you might think he's the badass protagonist of a shonen manga. You got the badass part right, but as for the hero part... not so much. In fact, Shishio is actually SO Hot-Blooded that he dies when his blood overheats and he spontaneously combusts.
• Sailor Moon:
  • Rei. In the anime, she's the most temperamental, and usually one of the first ones to charge into a fight. She definitely has the skills to back it up and has destroyed several monsters on her own, even without transforming once. In the manga she is still quite passionate, but never quite goes this far.
  • Usagi is a Nice Girl, but she often can be quite moody, over emotional, and temperamental, especially when it comes to Mamoru.
  • Minako as well. In the manga, she's the most proactive of the soldiers. In her own words, "giving up are the words [she] hates the most!". It's most prevalent in Codename: Sailor V, as she dials it down a bit from there.
• The entire cast of Saint Seiya run on Hot Bloodedness with the (arguable) exception of Saori. They even sport Hot-Blooded Sideburns.
• Sakigake!! Otokojuku parodies this sort of character.
• Kenji Harima from School Rumble. Attempting to list all of the hotblooded things he does is a futile effort, but his CMOA of hotblooded-ness was probably when he fought with Karasuma at the end of the series. He handcuffed them together just so that it'd be easier for the two of them to beat each other up.
  • Haruki Hanai!
• Sengoku Basara's Date Masamune, for starters... but Hot Blooded though he is, Masamune still manages to be the Blue Oni to Sanada Genjiro Yukimura's Red Oni because Yukimura is that much more Hot Blooded. Yukimura and his boss Takeda Shingen - but especially Yukimura - are both so Hot Blooded that they set things on fire.
  • OYAKATA-SAMA!! YUKIMURA!!
  • Chosokabe Motochika, the pirate lord and his followers. Even old nannies wanted to join the fight.
• Kogoro of Sgt. Frog 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.
• Horohoro from Shaman King, despite being an ice-elemental shaman, is passionate and not afraid to go all-out when it comes to battling. An example of a good demonstration of this is during the first rounds of the Shaman Fight where he's up against the laid-back and calm Yoh.
• 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 Meito Anisawa, the entire cast of Mobile Fighter G Gundam and Hayato Nekketsu from Rival Schools.
  • Here he is singing the opening to one of his own series, Blazing Transfer Student [1]. You can feel the hot-blooded passion. Set to a video of Mobile Fighter G Gundam, naturally.
• Slam Dunk: I'm a basketball genius... My name is SAKURAGI HANAMICHIIIII!!!
• Princess Amelia wil Tesla Saillune of Slayers—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, Crown Prince Philionel of Saillune, was much the same. *shudder*
  • Amelia's actually calmed down quite a bit by the time Slayers TRY comes around as she's had time to also mature (considering her canon age is only 14 or 15 in the first series), to the point where she almost has her embarrassed moments with her own father being so Hot Blooded. Her hot blood can be justified in that she has had no mother figure in her life with only her father to raise her. So it's less hot blooded by nature and more hot blooded by nurture?
• Black☆Star from Soul Eater lives on this trope, brandishing it at almost every opportunity he gets.
  • Maka's not far behind.
• Super Atragon features Go Arasaka, who gets into a fight inside a helicopter, nearly punches the Ra's captain (his father) and impulsively steals a Diesel Punk seaplane to go rescue his girlfriend. All this while hamming up his lines, especially when impulsively going to rescue his girlfriend in the seaplane he jacked from the Ra.
• Symphogear has Hibiki Tachibana, who's easily the most Hot-Blooded character Aoi Yūki has ever voiced. Some examples:
  • SYMPHOGEEEEAAARRR
  • SYNCHROGAZER
  • GEKISOU, GUNGNIR-DA!
  • X-DRIVVVVVEEEE!!!!
  • ORA, ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA (The latter was even confirmed to have been adlibbed by her)
  • Taken to its absolute Zenith in the fifth season. Where she has to attack and destory Vanessa, currently possessed by Shem-ha in order to prevent the negation of the Curse of Balal. She screams and then runs at Vanessa, yelling out with all her might her Tranformation phrase Mid Run to punch striaght through Vanessa. Simon would be both dumbfounded and proud.
    Hibiki: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! BALLLWIISSYALLL NESSSSCELLL GUNNNNGGGGNIIRRR TRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNN!!!!!
• 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, a race car engine. Now that's what I call Hot-Blooded. He is in fact so hot-blooded that when Tomoe kisses him, her lips actually get burnt and leaves permanent scars.
• They Are My Noble Masters is a show about... butlers. Doesn't sound like a subject to inspire hot-bloodedness, right? One is voiced by Nobuyuki Hiyama. Another, who is also the main character, is voiced by Tomokazu Seki. A third, the main character's tough-as-nails ex-mercenary mentor, has the voice of Master Asia. Your head may now asplode.
  • No, no, not until you actually get to see the end result. Your scheduled head-explody may now re-commence.
• Kotetsu T. Kaburagi, aka Wild Tiger of Tiger & Bunny, is extremely passionate about saving lives as a superhero. Passionate enough that he tends to ignore things like property rights and damages. It's even the highest stat on his trading card.◊
  Kotetsu: The most important thing for a hero to do is protect the people! Destroy buildings if you have to!
• Megane from the anime version of Urusei Yatsura. In one memorable scene from episode 64, he runs up the wall, breaks through the ceiling, and stands on the roof shouting into a megaphone. Even more evident by the fact that he’s voiced by Shigeru Chiba.
• Oboro in Utawarerumono is like this, and has his base element as fire. The rest of the cast does not approve, because despite his best intentions he tends to slide into 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 and leaves the empire in the control of Benawi while he takes Yuzuha's baby to see the world.
• In some ways Vinland Saga is a deconstruction of the hot blooded Shonen hero. Nearly every character is a Screaming Warrior, and badass to boot, but it's the cool headed ones that are the truly dangerous fighters.
  • Unless the Hot-Blooded person is Thorkel], then all bets are off.
• Sachie from Wild Ones has this in spades whenever she gets riled up.
• Ken of Yakitate!! Japan: 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.
  • Kuroyanagi is very, very passionate about bread judging and the goofy, over-the-top reactions that tend to transpire as a result.
• Judai Yuuki (a.k.a Jaden) of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX. 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!
  • He's but one member of a long pedigree of Hot-Blooded main characters. Formermost had Katsuya Jounouchi who uses this approach to Take a Level in Badass over the course of the series, Lattermost has the Idiot Hero Tsukumo Yuuma with his Leeroy Jenkins approach, and lastly, we have Jack Atlas and his (And I quote) BUUUURRRRNNNIINNNG SOOOOOUUUL!!!
    • Jack is so hot-blooded that when confronted with Scar-Red Nova (Red Nova in the English), an Earthbound Immortal more powerful than any other to date, he forcibly steals its power and seals it into a card that spontaneously appears in his hand, thereby creating his new ace monster (Scar-)Red Nova Dragon, by the sheer force of his own hot-blooded awesomeness. I reiterate: He stole an all-powerful demon's power and created a new card for himself out of sheer hot-blooded awesomeness.
  Quote on the 5Ds page: Did you just make Cthulhu your bitch?!
• YuYu Hakusho is filled with hot blooded characters. Yusuke (mostly if you threaten his friends) and Kuwabara (if you threaten Yukina, he will beat you up) are two of the most prominent, but Hiei and Kurama (though he's more of a Beware the Nice Ones kind of guy) have their moments too.
• Several of the protagonists of Dr. STONE get incredibly worked up about their scientific endeavors, but special mention goes to Cool Old Guy Kaiseki, who has a tendency to flex so hard that his clothes explode off whenever he gets to work on a new project.
• In Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead, Akira is incredibly passionate about trying new things and completing his bucket list, getting unreasonably excited over something as simple as trying dreadlocks. He gets even more worked up when it comes to making up for lost time with his parents, volunteering to help with anything and everything to be a better son to them.
