Berserk Button / Anime & Manga

Go To

When a character always goes into a rage over a certain minor thing, you've hit their Berserk Button.

Some of them are long enough to have their own pages:

  • The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You:
    • Do not insult any of Rentarou's girlfriends. Seriously, don't. It's the one thing that can make him fly into a murderous rage. In one instance he attacked those doing the insulting by dual-wielding shopping carts. In another, the mere sound of Kishika crying turned Rentarou from fainted due to fear to berserker "boyfriend yokai".
    • Unless you want the entire "family" to go "super-smitten" on you, do not make Shizuka cry. The baseball team they faced after Iku joined learned this the hard way, as a game going in their favor suddenly started getting turned against them.
    • Mei is the ideal maid, always smiling, loyal to her master Hahari, and never a bad word to say about anyone. Threatening Hahari in any way, however, will only invite instant retaliation with nary a change to her demeanor. Idol trainer Tina Quali learns this the hard way Mei's response to her slapping Hahari is to immediately slap Tina right back even harder without a word.
  • A Cruel God Reigns: Don't ask Jeremy to take off his shirt, or show him those Embarrassing Old Photos. It'll probably end in a Freak Out.
  • In A Certain Magical Index: Miracle of Endymion, Shutaura Sequenzia lost her father in a plane crash that only killed him, but the event was declared a miracle for the minimal loss of life. For this reason, she doesn't believe in miracles and if anyone even mentions the word "miracle", she'll get pissed off and go on long rants that miracles are not real.
  • Ah! My Goddess:
    • Don't badmouth Skuld's inventions unless you want to be on the receiving end of a Skuld Bomb.
    • Don't say "no" to Hild, for whatever reason, unless you're Belldandy.
  • In the harem comedy manga Ai Yori Aoshi, Tina and Mayu have a shared Button in anyone trying for Kaoru's affection.
  • Akkan Baby: Do NOT disrespect Shigeru or any of Yuki's friends, unless you want him mad at you.
  • Angel Sanctuary: If you value your life, do NOT call Michael short.
  • Assassination Classroom:
    • Class 3-E has some:
      • When Irina calls the class the "E class jerkwads" and tells them that studying would be meaningless, she gets pelted with school supplies by the whole class.
      • Mess with one of them, and the whole class (and their teachers) will come after you. Such moments include ganging up against two students who bullied Maehara and working together to defeat 3-A in the pole match, in order to stop Asano Jr. from telling the school that Isogai has been breaking the school rules by having a part-time job.
    • A cultural one, for Brazil. 7 to 1. Triggered when Koro-sensei is vacationing there, thinking up math problems.
    • Don't mess with Nagisa's friends.
      • Specifically, don't deliberately push this button by rubbing in the fact that you're trying to brutally kill off all of his friends. The one Troll who managed to successfully piss Nagisa off wound up traumatized from it for the rest of his life.
      • When the God of Death knocks out Yoshida, Muramatsu, and Kimura, Nagisa finally enters into his "assassin mode" when it appears that the God of Death had broken some of Kayano's ribs.
    • Karma Akabane snaps on Nagisa when, not only does he bring up the option of not killing Koro-sensei, but also because Nagisa denied being good at assassination and that Karma is better, likening it to a beautiful, popular girl telling uglier girls that they shouldn't care so much about getting boys' attention.
    • Kaede Kayano hates the Buxom Beauty Standard due to her A-Cup Angst, and it's usually Played for Laughs. Though there are certain exceptions.
  • Mikage in Asteroid in Love is not pleased when others say she is intimidating or scary. Mira often runs foul of this, but the Newspaper Club sometimes gets her on the nerves because of this.
  • In Attack on Titan, Eren Yeager has serious rage issues regarding Titans, such that it's not a good idea to mention them around him. This has become an in-joke within the fandom, and many like to joke that Eren can't even hear the word "Titan" without ranting. It's more or less true. Needless to say, due to a lot of Character Development and the knowledge that much of what he knew about the world around him was a lie, he's gone from wanting to kill all Titans to wanting to use the Titans to kill his people's enemies outside the island.
  • In Azumanga Daioh, don't tell Chiyo-chan's "dad" that his face resembles that of former prime minister Mori. Especially don't tell him that he's not a real cat. Also, don't show him anything that's red.
  • In Bakuman。, Takagi becomes enraged if someone suggests that Mashiro is weighing him down or he should find someone else, even in times when Mashiro believes he's the weak link. Ishizawa insulting Mashiro earns Ishizawa a punch in the face, while Miura suggesting that Takagi find another artist if Mashiro won't draw what Miura wants results in Takagi storming out of the meeting.
  • Berserk: Pun aside, you don't want to do something terrible to piss these characters off.
    • Do not touch Guts unless you're Griffith (pre-Eclipse) or Casca. He's got some major, major trust issues involving physical contact stemming from being raped as a kid by one of his adoptive father's soldiers, after being unknowingly sold to him by the bastard in question.
    • When demon warrior Grunbeld introduces himself as a member of Griffith's new Band of the Hawk, Guts, who is one of the only three survivors of the original Band as a result of Griffith's betrayal during the Eclipse, is absolutely pissed, considering this an utter insult to the memory of the original Hawks.
    • In the 2016 anime, the Keeper of the Hounds, an apostle Guts fights early on, has two. The first is anyone mistreating his beloved hounds, which gets him pissed at Guts when he slaughters the lot of them when they are possessed by the evil spirits. The other is anyone, even an Elf, so much as touching the preserved remains of the lady that he sacrificed to become a demon.
  • Black Cat:
    • Do not mention Saya Minatsuki in front of Creed Diskenth. Especially not in a positive light.
    • Oh, and don't refer to Train Heartnet as "that guy" in front of him, either. You will address his "partner" with respect.
  • Black Lagoon:
    • Although she's generally maladjusted anyway, do not question Revy's cynicism. You'll probably end up with an extra orifice somewhere, even if you are on her side. She also doesn't like Eda asking if she's already had sex with Rock, or other women making advances towards Rock. Isn't she just the sweetest Trigger-Happy Tsundere?
    • Also, anyone who waltzes in and starts shooting when Revy and Eda are at the Church of Violence "had better damn well be prepared to go to war," as the scumbags chasing the title character of the Greenback Jane arc found out the hard way. Eda in particular does not look kindly on anyone putting a bullet in the church.
    • Revy's button about Rock got hit again when Jane mentioned possibly seducing Rock if Revy didn't want her banging Benny's brains out all the time. The result is Revy getting really creepy as she relates her sexual experiences in prison and threatens to make Jane her bitch.
    • Do not make fun of Shenhua's poor grasp of English (she's a proud native of Taiwan). Revy offhandedly called her "Chinglish", and she threatened to start cutting her up...despite Leigharch's warning not to press his button and shed blood in his just-refurbished SUV.
  • Bleach:
    • Rukia hates it when her drawings are mocked. She also gets pissed off whenever Ichigo suffers a Heroic BSoD and gets violent with him while yelling at him to Quit Your Whining.
    • Yumichika is obsessed with beauty. Anyone who calls him ugly earns his enmity at best and an attempt to kill them at worst. His zanpakutou hates the colour purple. Yumichika tries to hide his taboo Functional Magic abilities from his Blood Knight division. He constantly insults his zanpakutou by giving it a purple-themed nickname; it angrily refuses to unleash its power in battle, allowing him to keep his power secret.
    • Ikkaku gets pissed at anyone who brings up his baldness in a mocking light. Squad 11's lieutenant, Yachiru, and the captains are pretty much the only ones who can get away with it.
    • Yamamoto gets pissed if a captain loses or abandons their haori. He will go on a long rant about how important the haori is and why losing it is disgraceful.
    • Bazz-B is typically a No-Nonsense Nemesis, but make fun of his mohawk, and he'll shout your ear off.
  • Blood: The Last Vampire: Mentioning Jesus, God, or any similar term in front of Saya is a bad idea. Luckily, she can't kill humans. Doesn't mean she can't hurt them, though…
  • In Bloom Into You, Touko has spent much of her life trying to follow in her sister Mio's footsteps, partly to do the things Mio couldn't, and partly because Touko enjoys being praised and thought of as "special". Because Touko hates herself and desperately wants to become her sister, she's very emotionally invested in this and does not take kindly to being discouraged from working toward this goal, such as when her father suggests that she shouldn't feel the need to emulate Mio. In response, Touko cuts him off, insists that she's fine and leaves the table to do homework, but realizes she's too upset to concentrate on it.
  • Bokurano: Being mean to Kana is a good way to get violently tackled by Maki, as Jun learned the hard way.
  • Buso Renkin: Papillon utterly despises being called by his real name by anyone other than Kazuki. He was also not too pleased to find that Kazuki had apparently given up his humanity to become a Victor-like being after having fought Papillon, to prevent him from giving up his humanity to become a homunculus.
  • In the manga Café Kichijōji de, Jun, a younger effeminate boy, snaps into a violent manner if anyone makes the unfortunate mistake of saying that he looks like a girl.
  • Sakura Kinomoto in Cardcaptor Sakura is usually nice enough to her brother Touya, but the second he calls her 'Monster' she grinds his foot into the floorboards.
  • Souichi Tatsumi from Challengers and The Tyrant Falls in Love may be antisocial, but he's pretty normal otherwise... until a reference to homosexuality is made, upon which he burns with a desire to bash all homosexuals' skulls in, especially the one courting his little brother. He even has a Hair-Trigger Temper with Morinaga after the latter drives home the point that he's gay with a crush on him, interpreting every offer from Morinaga as an attempt to get into his pants (sometimes it's actually true, sometimes it isn't). And NO, he himself ISN'T a homo; he's just sleeping with one!
  • Code Geass:
    • Rolo goes nuts when somebody mentions Nunally.
    • Mentioning Orange in front of Jeremiah Gottwald is asking for either a major thrashdown or a drastic shortening of your life span. Seriously, don't do it. Until he joins Lelouch during R2 episode 14, after discovering the reason why Lelouch became Zero. After that, he accepts the nickname with pride.
  • Cowboy Bebop: As shown in "Jupiter Jazz (Part 1)", it's a terrible idea to call Spike by the name of his rival Vicious. He ends up going berserk and beating up an entire gang — whose leader survives, only to toss himself into the back of a garbage truck.
    Spike: You think I'm Vicious? YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT VICIOUS IS!
  • Crayon Shin-chan. Don't ever make fun of Mitzi/Misae's chest, or her butt, or her age! That doesn't stop Shin-chan, though.
    • Also if you're Hiroshi, don't even dare going near these random girls when Mitzi/Misae is around or better yet, don't tell her you been around these woman when you're out by yourself. If you do, she will get you.
  • Girls in Daily Lives of High School Boys often have this:
    • The suggestion that girls should date a boy for Yanagin.
    • For Yoshitake's older sister, the fact that she doesn't have a boyfriend — despite the fact she's just 18.
    • Ringo's height.
  • In Darker than Black, you do not want to give Hei any reason to think you're connected to his sister. Really, you don't. It's a bad idea.
    • Later on, it's "touch Yin and die."
  • Death Note
    • If there is one thing guaranteed to piss Light Yagami off, it's suggesting that what he is doing as Kira is wrong or evil. This is because Light has a huge amount of Pride (to the point of having a god complex especially later on) and Can't Take Criticism to save his life. When Lind L. Tailor outright stated this during the second episode, Light wrote his name extra-large in the Death Note.
    • As far as Misa Amane is concerned, Light is hers, and she will not stand for any other woman getting close to him.
  • In Death Parade, many characters seem to be triggered by a certain event or even certain words that can drive them over the edge. Examples include Takashi never being loved by Machiko, Misaki thinking that she will die if she loses, or Onna witnessing Decim's judgement methods.
  • Delicious in Dungeon:
  • It is highly recommended you don't tell Buttercup/Kaoru from Powerpuff Girls Z she looks cute in a skirt. Her reaction is not pretty.
    • All 3 of the girls, especially Momoko/Blossom, will get super-mega-pissed when you steal their food, make them leave lunch, or just prevent them from eating in any way. And to a lesser extent, make them miss sleep and they will get angry.
  • Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba
    • Tanjiro is quite protective of his little sister Nezuko. Even suggesting that she is anything but the fairest maiden in the land will get you an earful.
    • Haganezuka takes a great deal of pride in his creations as a swordsmith, and will chase you down with knives if you lose or damage his swords, despite the fact that this is borderline unavoidable given the swords intended use. His reactions, however, are downright subdued compared to his colleague Kanamori, who threatens to outright kill Inosuke when he chips his swords in front of him.
  • Desert Punk has, in its first chapter, a lesser Big Bad who weathers a hurricane of insults in a letter without even flinching, but goes completely off his nut — to the point of Hulking out — when the resident Anti-Hero suggests that his mother has a fat bellybutton.
  • Call Allen Walker from D.Gray-Man "Moyashi" (Bean Sprout) and watch him boil and explode. Or mention his Trickster Mentor, particularly if the sentence also contains the word "debt"...
  • In Digimon Tamers, if you value your life, do NOT refer to Beelzemon as Impmon. He'll make you wish you'd never been born. Pre-Heel–Face Turn, at least. Post-turn he'll stomp his foot and throw a hissy fit, but he won't kill you. Doesn't mean you should push it, though.
    • He had another one when he was evil: being called weak. Do not, do not, DO NOT call him weak. EVER. He casually (and gruesomely) killed one of his allies for doing so.
  • The anime version of Dinosaur King has a Running Gag where Zoe insults Ursula by calling her an "old lady", which leads to Ursula's Berserk Button being pressed. In fact, she can even hear her calling her an "old lady" from any number of miles away, no matter how far off she is from her.
    Zoe: Hey, old lady!
    Ursula: Arrrggghhh! I'm not an old lady! Got that?!
  • Domestic Girlfriend: Do not treat Natsuo like a child.
  • Anna and Uni Puma from Dominion Tank Police. Not like they're not psychotic enough to begin with, but if anyone makes reference to their humiliating origins as "love dolls," the body count is going to go into triple digits.
  • In Don't Become an Otaku, Shinozaki-san!, Akina Shinozaki's Berserk Button is otaku in general and her otaku older brother in particular. Much humor and drama alike is derived from Akina's refusing to admit that she's becoming more and more of an otaku herself as she's introduced to the otaku world via her friend and crush Kaede.
  • Don't Meddle with My Daughter!: Do NOT tarnish the name of Athena's husband.
  • A few characters in Dragon Ball are prone to losing their temper over very specific provocation.
    • Seriously harming or outright killing Krillin when his best friend Goku or his wife Android 18 are in the vicinity is… Ill-advised. You can ask Tambourine, Frieza and even 18's brother Android 17 to know how it went for them.
    • Chi-Chi flips out at the suggestion that she's old. Also, she did not take kindly to learning that Goku didn't know who she was when they met during the World Tournament.
    • Bulma has the same button as Chi-Chi. Whenever she’s called old, she will chew out, slap, or punch anyone who mentions it. She doesn’t even care who says it, not even Beerus!
    • Vegeta has a sore spot for any insinuation that someone is stronger than him. Especially Goku, who he calls "Kakarot" (Goku's original, Saiyan name). This is so famous that it's been called the "Goku Button" in Dragon Ball Z Abridged.
    • Fat Buu has a bottomless appetite and becomes violently angry when he feels like his meal is threatened. Any attempt to take away or deny him food is met with excessive hostility. He even mouthed off to Beerus when he wanted one of his many pudding cups (though, read below to see how that went). Also, don't call him stupid. Vegeta did so and got pounded to near-death over it, to the point that he was vomiting and crying blood. Additionally, do not hurt Mr. Satan; Basil during the Zen-Oh Expo learns that the hard way.
    • Prior to merging with Kami, Piccolo hates when people call him a good person. He yells at Gohan and Krillin for doing so at separate occasions. This is because he's supposed to be the demon king, and was literally birthed for the purpose of killing Goku and conquering the Earth by the original demon king; calling him a good person reminds him that he's a complete failure with no real purpose.
    • Beerus's berserk buttons are numerous. If you underestimate him, he will make you sorry. If you deny him delicious food, you can kiss your beloved planet goodbye. If you give him substandard food, you can kiss half of your planet goodbye. If you give him food that is so awful that it gives Saiyans stomach cramps, start praying.
    • Do not mention Goku in front of the original incarnation of Broly. If you so much as look similar to Goku, he will go on a "KAKAROT" screaming rampage to end your life in the most painful way possible.
    • In Dragon Ball Super, Kale's is anything (particularly men) that might come between her and her Cool Big Sis Caulifla. She outright tries to murder Cabba and later Goku in a blind rage when it looks like Caulifla is enjoying their company, making her appear as a typical Yandere and Psycho Lesbian. In the manga version of Super, she does not have this tick; the closest thing to a Berserk Button she has there is actually hurting Caulifla, as she idolizes Caulifla for rescuing her from the life of a street urchin. Even Golden Freeza couldn't stand her wrath when he did this.
    • Don't say to Jiren that you want to get a wish from the Super Dragon Balls. He wants to use them for his own wish so if you proclaim it in front of him, then prepare to get a beating from him so bad, that you wish you would get ringed out rather than fighting him at all. The manga version of Jiren still wants his wish but doesn't really get mad when others dispute him. He doesn't need to.
    • Go ahead, mock Frieza for how short he is. You'd better hope that you did noble acts or else you would get sent straight to hell for insulting someone who can kill you in a heartbeat.
    • If you dare say that what Goku Black and Zamasu did are evil, then prepare to be assaulted by a barrage of speeches from them on how it is your fault they attack your world in the first place or how you and your humanity commit nothing but sins and evil. It doesn't matter if what they did is no better, in their eyes, they are the epitome of justice in the whole universe.
  • Dropkick on My Devil:
    • Jashin savagely beats up anyone who wastes food in front of her.
    • Yurine savagely beats up anyone who tries Giving Someone the Pointer Finger in her presence. One time, Jashin was about to point but stopped herself in time, but Yurine beat her up anyway, because she almost did it.
    • Kyon-Kyon does not tolerate any insults to her sister Ran-Ran. Ran-Ran has been turned into panda and can become the print on Kyon-Kyon's dress. When some local punks insulted the panda-print, not knowing its true nature, Kyon-Kyon almost killed them.
  • Eyeshield 21:
    • Daigo Ikari goes completely nuts whenever he hears someone badmouth his school (or even just thinks they have) or its football team, which is the reason he's two years behind in school; he was sent to a juvenile detention center after one of his "incidents."
    • NEVER insult anyone who stands up to Gaou around him. He will kill you.
    • Monta has a berserk button of being called a monkey.
    • Sena is usually a pretty scrawny kid that you can pick on a lot. He's used to it. Agon learned the hard way that, when you keep calling his hard-working team a bunch of trash, he'll come at you on the field with murderous intent.
    • Messing with Panther's sweatband which was given to him by his beloved grandmother made the normally Nice Guy attempt to throw a punch at his racist couch.
  • Fairy Tail:
    • Never come between Erza and her strawberry cake. Otherwise, she'll snap and make you regret it.
    • Do not ever say that Dragons don't exist when Natsu is around.
  • Rose Marinade of Fighting Foodons doesn't take too well to Chase calling her a "has-been."
    Rose Marinade: Hey, wait a minute! Did I just hear you call me a has-been?!
  • Fist of the North Star:
    • Mr. Heart, an early bad guy that Kenshiro faces, goes utterly ballistic if somebody draws his blood.
    • Yuda, probably the Trope Maker for The Fighting Narcissist in anime and manga, similarly goes berserk after receiving some minor cuts to his face.
    • Jagi has many berserk buttons, most of them centered around his younger brother Kenshiro. Call him by his actual name while he's trying to ruin Kenshiro's reputation? You're dead. Anything involving a younger brother? You're dead. Get grossed out at his horrifically scarred face (courtesy of Kenshiro)? You're really dead. And if you happen to bear a resemblance to Kenshiro? Oh, Jagi has something really gruesome in store for you...
  • Despite his cold demeanor, Mikagami Tokiya from Flame of Recca HAS one Berserk Button: Call him a girl, a she-man, or whatever Gender Bender insult to him and the best thing you can hope for is a death cold stare from him (which is thankfully what he usually does so far...)
  • Try calling Akita Hikaru from Flunk Punk Rumble a girl, I dare you!
  • One of the two main characters of Freezing, Satellizer El Bridgette: If you ever try to force her to admit defeat, whether she's slashed or even her throat slit, she'll never do it. Instead, she will fight on doubling and tripling her speed and power, even if she is unconscious.
  • Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu example: Kaname Chidori is hardly the calmest of characters, but the one thing that really sets her off is the possibility that her precious grade levels are in danger. Such as the discovery that Sousuke left her notes back in his apartment on the day of a test. Cue Sousuke being physically hurled onto the road in order to (barely) stop a taxi in time, so they can drive back and get them.
  • Fushigi Yuugi:
    • Do not call Tamahome "Obake-chan."
    • The words "Nuriko" and either "gay" or "pervert" are not to be used in the same sentence.
  • Galaxy Angel: Colonel Volcott O. Huey is a usually even-tempered and complacent commander. But tell him his mustache doesn't suit him, and he'll revert to his combat days as the "White Wolf" and proceed to destroy everything in his path to defend his mustache's honor.
  • Girls und Panzer:
    • Sodoko gets angry when people act in a way she considers arrogant or call her "Sodoko" (although for the latter, she seems to make an exception for her friends and fellow hall monitors Gomoyo and Pazomi).
    • Momo gets rather annoyed when she misses, or gets called "Momo-chan" by Yuzu. She gets sincerely upset when her teammates express a belief that they won't win, or that they don't care whether they do, since she knows the school will get shut down unless they win the tournament.
  • Call Imoko from The Girl Who Leapt Through Space a 'Boiled Potato' and she'll go mental.
  • Golgo 13: Don't stand behind him. It's dangerous.
  • The Great Jahy Will Not Be Defeated!: Druj does not like it when people try to sit next to Jahy, try to change her name or give her an order.
  • The Melancholy of Haruhi-chan, in one of the episodes, had a scene of Achakura wondering if she had have her own stool or chair, then, after Nagato puts down a baby rocker beside Achakura or puts Achakura in the baby rocker note  respectively, Achakura thinks, "Yeaaah, something like that." and "Yeaaah, something like this." respectively, before taking out her anger at Nagato by yelling " THAT'S NOT A STOOL! THAT'S A BABY ROCKER!" and " I AM NOT A BABY!", respectively.
    • Achakura is also dead serious about Nagato not going to sleep, and every single time Achakura notices Nagato's laptop, Achakura attacks Nagato and yells, "Go to sleep!" In the Halloween episode, Nagato opens up her laptop, and Achakura proceeds to destroy the laptop and yell, "GO TO SLEEP!"note 
    • Also, there was a scene where Nagato, out of complete curiosity, shuts Achakura shut in the jack-in-the-box thingy. That was the result of getting scolded. So please, for the love of God, DON'T mess with Achakura. Even when it comes to jack-in-the-boxes.
  • Hayate the Combat Butler:
    • Nagi goes apeshit when Hayate discovers her self-made manga and calls it a "picture diary." She boots him out of the study, but he mistakes it for her kicking him out of the mansion.
    • She does it again when she suspects Tama tore up her beloved manga. She locks him away.
    • Also, causing Maria to remind people that she's only 17.
    • Probably the biggest Berserk Button in the story though, is Hinagiku and any character making note of her chest size. Grabbing it (however unintentionally) automatically triggers it, though just referring to it has to be done at least twice. She's taken out an army of volleyball robots, and the one controlling them, just because he made the comment twice, with implied use of only volleyballs as well.
    • Telling a bad joke to Sakuya would count, too.
  • Heaven's Lost Property:
  • In Hello, Melancholic!, Hibiki-sempai dislikes her father for his methodical approach to music, she gets mad at Asano when she pointed out that her trying to push her to play with pros would be something her father would do.
  • Hellsing:
    • One of the only times that Alucard completely loses it is when Anderson uses the Nail of Helena to turn himself into a monster of God during their final battle, which enraged Alucard because of his genuine respect for Anderson as a human and a Worthy Opponent able to stand against him even in his full release state.
    • Also, Alucard hates it if you kill yourself in order to escape his wrath. A SWAT guy doing just this during the Brazil mission ended up putting him in an ugly mood.
    • To a lesser extent, it's a bad idea to insult his master Integra. When Maxwell had the audacity to call her a "sow", Alucard may not have flown into a rage, but he was pissed enough to draw his guns with a devilish grin on his face.
    • Finally, there is nothing Alucard despises worse than a traitor, such that he will go out of his way to make you suffer before you die. The only reason Walter survived betraying him toward the end was because Alucard fell victim to the Major's master plan.
  • Greece from Hetalia: Axis Powers is a calm, easygoing Heavy Sleeper until you put him in the same room with Turkey. And if you want to see the fireworks really go off, just position Turkey anywhere remotely close to one of his cats or Japan.
    • Don't accuse Russia of things that he didn't do, as Estonia learns when he accuses him of hacking his blog: He'll come after you with his Magic Wand — or rather, magic metal pipe of pain.
    • His sister Belarus is already a Creepy Child. Attract Russia's attention to yourself? Uh, better RUN AWAY.
    • Don't comment on how attractive Austria is if Hungary's around. Especially if you're France. Actually, for that matter, don't even comment on it if Austria's around, particularly if you're France.
    • Norway tries to strangle Denmark with his tie when Denmark makes fun of Norway's Cuteness Proximity towards Iceland.
    • Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus gets the usually upbeat, friendly Cheerful Child Sealand to attack him by pointing out that while he (TRNC) is at least recognized as a country by Turkey, Sealand isn't recognized by anyone.
  • From Hidamari Sketch, we have Hiro's weight and figure. And then we also have Miyako pressing it so often...
  • Rei Miyamoto from Highschool of the Dead has a Shidou-shaped one. The bastard flunked her out due to their fathers' radically differing political beliefs, and as a result, she despises him.
  • Hunter × Hunter:
    • Don't ever mention spiders to Kurapika. Don't show him a spider. Don't expose him to anything involving spiders at all, ever.
    • Biscuit Krueger will punch you into the air if you call her an Old Hag, Gorilla, or discuss something in her presence without involving her.
  • I Belong to the Baddest Girl at School: Fuyuhiko is a meek and gentle boy, but he does not take kindly to anyone badmouthing Kanade.
  • JoJo's Bizarre Adventure:
    • Dio Brando has many, some of the most notable being people seeing him as weak or being pitied, dogs, who he sees as "bootlickers", the very mention of his father, Dario, people disrespecting Jonathan, and having his World of stopped time invaded, something Jotaro learns the hard way.
    • Upon introduction, Joseph Joestar's is people who act arrogant, which regularly leads to Joseph going out of his way to wound their pride in battle. After indirectly causing Caesar's death by disrespecting the memory of his grandfather, he gains a second one: people who dishonor the memories of their dead loved ones.
    • Wamuu from Battle Tendency has two, the first being people stepping on his shadow (though this only happens once, to the point that it's somewhat of a Big-Lipped Alligator Moment), and the second being those who show cowardice in battle.
    • Jotaro Kujo also has two, those being his Unwanted Harem, and people who do silly things like make bad jokes, a button Joseph seems to enjoy pressing.
    • Stardust Crusaders:
      • Forever doesn't seem to like having his intelligence insulted.
      • Daniel J. D'Arby really hates it when people mispronounce his name. Joseph repeatedly pushes this button when playing with him to get him riled up.
      • Vanilla Ice really doesn't like it when people disrespect DIO, something Iggy learns the hard way.
    • Diamond is Unbreakable:
    • Golden Wind:
      • Bruno Bucciarati hates drugs, as his father's death was caused by him witnessing a drug deal.
      • Narancia Ghirga's education is a... touchy subject. If you're not a part of Team Bucciarati and you bring it up, expect unconsciousness and/or death to follow.
      • Ghiaccio will go off at the mere mention of metaphors he considers confusing and people using foreign pronunciations in Italian culture.
      • Cioccolata gets infuriated (enough to bounce back from getting his brain partially eaten) whenever someone calls him a piece of shit. Wouldn't be such a big issue if he wasn't one.
      • Vinegar Doppio doesn't like it when people figure out his true identity, usually causing Diavolo to take over as a result.
    • Stone Ocean:
      • Jolyne Cujoh hates the mere mention of her father, Jotaro. However, she loses this as the part progresses.
      • Do not touch Foo Fighters' water. Don't even go near it.
    • Dr. Ferdinand from Steel Ball Run doesn't have a lot of respect for those who disrespect the ground.
  • Kaguya-sama: Love Is War:
    • Kaguya despises people who betray her trust and will cut them out of her life without a second thought. It speaks volumes that she even considered forgiving Hayasaka after learning that she was The Mole.
    • Miyuki Shirogane used to be bullied for having a girly name, so he hates being called "Miyuki-chan". But he reacted positively when Kaguya asked if she can call him that.
  • A recurring gag in Kamisama Minarai: Himitsu no Cocotama is Renji becoming irate whenever he's mistaken for a female.
  • Kemono Michi: On your life, do not address Genzo as "Demon Beast Killer" unless you want to become acquainted with the nearest wall.
  • Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple: Calling Kenichi a chicken.
  • Kill la Kill: Don't touch Inumuta's laptop, or he will flip out at you.
  • In the Kirby: Right Back at Ya! episode "Hour of the Wolfwrath", the frontman says that Wolfwrath (Chilidog in Japanese) doesn't take too well to training.
    King Dedede: That Wolfwrath monster of yours better not wreck my castle! This ain't no doghouse!
    Frontman: I'm afraid Wolfwrath doesn't take too well to training, Triple D. He's kind of a hot dog, and if you try to break him, you'll get burned. (laughs)
    King Dedede: Huh?! It'll attack me?!
    (The frontman laughs even more)
  • Whatever you do, do NOT threaten to sell Chieko's (from Princess Jellyfish) dolls, even if it's to do something like finance an anti-eviction fund. Don't mess with the settings on her sewing machine, either.
  • In Lost Universe, do not rag on Kaine's rag. (Calling his cape a rag is a good way to get a lightsaber to the face.)
  • Love Hina:
    • Motoko's older sister Tsuruko is a graceful Onee-sama. But please, PLEASE, don't tell her a lie. Not even Motoko can get away with being creative with the truth in front of her "Ane-ue". In fact, Motoko being the liar made the deal even worse.
    • She's usually the Only Sane Man, but Haruka doesn't like being called old, or when Seta mockingly flirts with her. Because he was supposed to choose between her and her best friend, Sarah's mother, only she died before he could make the choice, so Haruka feels like she won by default and doesn't like that.
  • Macross Frontier's Alto Saotome is prone to eye-twitching or shouting every time someone brings up his more feminine characteristics. This only encourages his friends — especially Michael (who popularized his "Princess Alto" nickname across the school).
  • Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic: She doesn't care if you insult her. She doesn't care if you kill the members of her cult. She doesn't even care if you try to kill her. But for the love of all that is good and holy, do not suggest to Ren Gyokuen that she has no faith in anything. Bad things will happen.
  • Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha:
    • Most of the characters are generally well-mannered. However... don't touch Vita's hat. Just don't. You'll live longer.
    • Yuuno gets quite upset whenever someone like Chrono calls him a familiar, or makes a "joke" about his ferret form.
    • Having become one of the top-tier participants of the Inter-Middle partly because her losses to her rival only drove her to become stronger and develop better techniques, Harry tends to completely lose it if she hears about a fellow competitor giving up after a minor set-back. This is shown in ViVid Strike! when she hears that Rinne was quitting martial arts simply because she was defeated by Vivio twice. The moment she heard that, her Friendly Rivals had to restrain her since she was heading straight towards the competitor's place to beat some sense into her.
  • Make the Exorcist Fall in Love: Due to being extremely abused as a child before being the subject of Attempted Rape by Asmodeus, sexual asasult and child abuse in any form are the fastest ways to earn Father's ire. Mammon exploits this to make Father go all-out against him by having Tachibana strip Imuri naked. Also lampshaded when Leviathan unknowingly pushes all of Father's buttons when they first meet, with Imuri wishing that Leviathan would stop hitting every psychological landmine Father has.
  • Maria no Danzai:
  • Mission: Yozakura Family:
    • Taiyo does not take kindly to people hurting or disrespecting Mutsumi. Kyoichiro has the same button.
    • Do NOT hurt Taiyo in front o Mutsumi. Seriously. DON'T.
    • Shion does not like cheaters.
    • Ayaka does not take kindly to being called a "manhunter".
    • Kyoichiro himself serves as this to Rin.
  • Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid
  • Monster Musume:
    • Kimihito does not like it when people play with their food instead of eating it.
    • Do NOT hop onto Cera's back unless she allows you to.
    • Do NOT make fun of Rachnera's Freudian Excuse.
    • Killa goes berserk at the sight of spider thread.
  • In My Bride is a Mermaid, Gozaburo does not take kindly to seeing Nagasumi and Sun doing anything romantic. He's even less happy if someone threatens Sun.
    • Ren does not like how immature and over-possessive her husband is of Sun.
  • My Deer Friend Nokotan: Koshi goes to great lengths to act the part of a model high school student. Anything that reminds her of her past as a delinquent, however, arouses incredible anger in her. Ironically, it also causes her to slip right back into delinquent mode.
  • My Monster Secret: Sakurada does not like amorality.
  • In My-Otome
    • Shiho becomes enraged if someone calls her "Maki-maki."
    • Mashiro Blanc de Windbloom, the princess(and later queen) of the nation of Windbloom, starts off as haughty and condescending, but gets angry enough to slap Arika when Arika calls her a fake princess. It turns out that Mashiro isn't the real princess, but a child who was taken in to replace her.
  • Nabari no Ou: Don't ever call Yoite cute or emo; it will be the last thing you ever do.
  • Ikuto of Nagasarete Airantou, if told anything is "absolutely impossible," will get it done with twice the speed and four times the effort.
  • Multiple characters in the Neptunia series have these:
    • Vert, don't insult her breasts; seriously, she will send you flying through a building.
    • Blanc, don't insult her lack of breasts; then you get either the hammer (normal form) or the giant axe (transformed).
  • Don't call Nora a "whipped dog" unless you want to wind up in intensive care.
  • Osomatsu-san: If you ever call Choromatsu an "Idol Otaku", then you'd better thank yourself for being stepped on a landmine. Todomatsu learned this the hard way in Episode 13.
  • Mitsukuni "Honey" Haninozuka from Ouran High School Host Club. Don't wake him up early, for that matter. Seriously, don't. He's a deadly martial artist capable of handing entire squads of private military contractors their asses, and he will not hesitate to show it.
    • Tamaki also gets pretty ticked when someone (usually the twins) makes a move on Haruhi. Except for Kasanoda, where he went into a Heroic BSoD!
  • Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt has a couple:
    • Don't eat Stocking's candy. She also totally loses her shit when she tries to lose weight and ends up gaining more.
    • Scanty and Kneesocks are very strict about rurrrrrus. Break them at your peril.
  • Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney (2007):
    • Raymond Spume becomes enraged when Sparkle Land publicity assistant Julie bites her nails, believing it to be a bad habit and unprofessional to do it in public. This ultimately proves to be his undoing; after Spume admits that he saw Julie doing it during the show(while she was behind him), Phoenix realizes that Spume wore his costume backwards, which enabled him to murder the victim.
    • Thomas Spitzer gets angry when someone questions his expertise on spiders.
  • Pop Team Epic: Never offer Popuko beef or chicken. You'd be lucky if Pipimi would be there to make her spare your life.
  • Precarious Woman Executive Miss Black General:
    • Braverman is normally a Nice Guy, but the intensity of the General's Abhorrent Admirer tendencies angers him enough to not hold back while fighting her.
    • The Secretary is easily angered by the Boss's incompetence, and also does not like having her chest compared to those of the General and the Scientist.
  • Pretty Cure:
    • Tsubomi finally got her game face on when the first monster she faced smashed a bed of flowers she landed near.
    • Similarly, Cure Flora showed just how dangerous she can be when a Zetsuborg was about to stomp on a lone flower.
    • Don't you ever dare to mistreat either Akira's sister Miku, her family, her friends or an innocent, or else...
  • In episode 2 of the Pretty Sammy OAV, Tenchi mentions to Bif Standard that his software is slow. At that comment, Bif goes into a lengthy rant, feeling that he had insulted his software, and Tenchi, Sasami, and Misao quietly escape while he is still ranting.
  • The Prince of Tennis
  • Puella Magi Madoka Magica:
  • Many of the characters in Ranma ½ have at least one Berserk Button... all of them being either the Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy or his Distaff Counterpart doesn't help matters.
    • Ranma Saotome hates it when his masculinity is questioned (or calling him ugly in his female form), and only partially due to his Gender Bender curse. Particularly in the anime, calling him a coward also triggers this. Don't mess with his pigtail either.note  Calling him a "transvestite" or "transgender bitch" is another easy way to piss him off.
    • Make any mention of the fact that Taro's first name is Pantyhose, and he'll immediately try to beat your head in. Usually after taking a dip in cold water first, and thus assuming his alternate form; a giant mishmash of yeti, ox, crane, eel and, later, octopus.
    • Never, EVER take or harm one of Happosai's "treasures" (i.e. bras, panties (both of them usually stolen), voyeuristic pictures, etc.). Sometimes he'll just get his revenge through pranks like tacks in your shoes or ordering mass amounts of delivery food in your name, but other times? He will kick your ass.
  • Rent-A-Girlfriend: Ruka does NOT like Kazuya being around another girl or catching him thinking about Chizuru.
  • Rosario + Vampire: Inner Moka doesn't like to be touched. As Tsukune found out the hard way very early on in the second serialization, Double Standard does not apply here even if he is her boyfriend.
  • Rozen Maiden: Unless you want a V.I.P ride to the hospital in the back of an ambulance, Do NOT, under ANY circumstances, proceed to call Suigintou "Broken"! Also, unless you want your own gravestone, don't say "Junk" within earshot of her. Shinku found that out the hard way, YET SHE KEEPS ON POKING THE BEAR!
  • Rurouni Kenshin:
    • Kid Samurai Yahiko, being Hot-Blooded, flies off the handle when being called a kid or being addressed as "Yahiko-chan". (Though, hilariously, he once got pissed off at Tsubame when she sort of joked that he was finally growing up.)
    • Yatsume Mumyoi doesn't react at all if he is called a fool, but he goes completely berserk if he is called a freak, a monster, or if his clan is insulted. Saito Hajime comments on it and intentionally presses it several times, making Mumyoi so angry he suffers a Villainous Breakdown and becomes easy to defeat.
  • Sailor Moon:
    • Usagi is a Nice Girl, but she does have a few of these: being called a "bun head" (at least initially), being mocked for her intelligence, and when someone hits on Mamoru (or when she thinks they are).
    • Chibi-Usa will go on an Unstoppable Rage if someone takes away her food — accidentally or not — even if she herself often does this to Usagi.
    • Minako's button is pounded whenever someone tries to kill Sailor Moon. She is not Sailor Moon's closest bodyguard for nothing.
    • It's established that anyone who makes sexist remarks within a Sailor Guardian is in for a world of hurt. Jadeite learns the hard way when the then-Power Trio (Sailors Moon, Mercury and Mars) slam a plane into him for the insult.
    • Nehellenia's is when anyone pities her for her miserable, ugly life, especially if she can see the pitying look in their eyes. She loses it and viciously attacks Helios and Sailor Moon for this reason.
    • On a more comedic note, being told that her lipstick color was trashy made the normally sweet and ladylike Michiru angry.
  • Saki: For Kanna of Saki Shinohayu -dawn of age-, even laying eyes on her hated rival Hayari "Hayarin" Mizuhara is enough to send her into a rage.
  • Science Ninja Team Gatchaman: Don't mess with Ryu's sweets.
  • In Servant × Service,
  • Sgt. Frog:
    • DON'T EVER break any of Keroro's Gundam models! In the dub this extends to all mech-related merch; he once punched Tamama for breathing on his Voltron playset. And when some visiting aliens broke some of his models:
      Keroro: 'What flavour is your blood?!'
    • The "animal animalizer" episode featured some crows who attack Sarge after he mentions he's into Gundam - crows hate Gundam, since everybody knows Macross is where it's at!
  • Shaman King: Do NOT refer to Faust VII's wife and partner spirit Eliza as a "puppet" or a "doll." He's usually calm and arrogant to an inhuman point, and takes all the insults thrown at him with stride... but the moment you insult her, he will go into an Unstoppable Rage and KILL YOU.
  • In the original Mazinger Z, Sayaka reacted furiously if you insulted her skills or made Stay in the Kitchen statements directed at her (needless to say, Kouji pressed her Berserk Button constantly). Tetsuya from Great Mazinger — Kouji's adoptive brother — also got MADLY enraged if you slighted his skills...
  • Tokiko of Shi ni Aruki is practically emotionless, even when members of her family die suspiciously. However, in the flashback chapters, she's shown becoming furious when upon their first meeting, Natsuki (who would go on to become her closest (and only) friend steals one of Tokiko's adoptive father's books, prompting her to steal their indoor shoes in retaliation and threatening to drop them off the roof if the book is not returned. When she finds out that the classmate damaged the book, she loses her temper and throws the shoes anyway, sparking an Escalating War that lasts for most of the school year.
  • Shugo Chara!: It isn't wise to refer to Tadase as 'prince'.
  • In Skip Beat!, never mention the name 'Fuwa Sho' around Kyoko, or vengeful spirits will haunt you. Ren takes major issue when another actor looking to pick a fight calls him a murderer. Granted he was deep in a role at the time, but even the people in on the ruse agreed that dropping the guy about 50-some feet was overkill. They both could've died if Kyoko hadn't snapped Ren out of it and if Ren weren't such a spectacular gymnast.
  • In Slam Dunk, Shohoku ace Rukawa shall NOT be interrupted when he's sleeping. Expect physical damage if you do.
    Rukawa (to Norio Hotta): My name is Rukawa Kaede, I'm a first-grader, and I will NOT forgive the idiots who wake me up when I'm sleeping. *beats the crap out of Hotta*
    • Also earlier in the series, if you ever say 'Basket' or something that sounds like that in the vicinity of Sakuragi, expect yourself to pass out after he headbutts you. When he gets into the basket team, he switches it to being mocked or told that he's not good enough.
    • Their captain and leader, Takenori Akagi. Insult basketball in front of this Genius Bruiser and you'll see exactly how much of a Serious Business the sport is for the guy.
  • Hime Makita from Sora no Manimani gets very tense about her hair, and did not hesitate to knee a fellow student when her old nickname of "Drif" (as in "The Drifters," a Japanese rock 'n' roll comedy band with fluffy hair) was brought up.
  • Soul Eater:
    • Want to push Death The Kid's Berserk Button? Just show him anything that's too asymmetrical. Case in point, in his first appearance, he goes completely bonkers just because a mummy in an otherwise perfectly symmetrical pyramid wasn't symmetrical himself. Considering Death the Kid is quite asymmetrical himself (especially the hair), this leads to a considerable amount of self-loathing when others remind him of this.
    • Do not give Black☆Star the impression you're trying to steal his spotlight. He will kick your ass!
  • Stepping on Roses is actually named after one:
    • It's NOT a good idea to show Sumi Kitamura even a single rose. At first, it's mild discomfort, but towards the end she starts fainting and angrily throwing them into the water when they're offered to her.
    • Her husband Soichirou completely freaks out whenever he sees fire. This is due to his family perishing in a house fire when he was a child, and his other relatives blaming him for setting it.
  • Nana Hiiragi, the eponymous protagonist of Talentless Nana is normally a very sweet, friendly, and amiable girl. Talk about how much you love your parents and how wonderful they are and she will be anything but. This is largely because her parents were brutally murdered when she was young and she blames herself for their death.
  • Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann: Kamina's button? Depriving him of fanservice. At least in the uncut English dub.
    Kamina: YOU WANT TO KNOW IF I HAVE A PROBLEM?! YOU TOOK THE ABSOLUTE HIGH OF THE HUMAN SPIRIT, THE VERY ESSENCE OF A MALE SOUL AND STUCK IT INTO THE DIRT, SMACKED IT AROUND AND SMASHED IT! I'LL FOLLOW YOU BASTARDS THROUGH THE FIERY PITS OF HELL AND KILL YOU A MILLION TIMES OVER!!!
  • Tiger & Bunny:
    WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING TO MY CAR, ASSHOLE?!
  • To Love Ru:
    • Lala does not having suitors fight over her.
    • Nana goes ballistic if anyone talks about her modest bust size.
    • Yami's button is perversity in any way, shape or form.
    • The ghost girl Oshizu's button is people dieting for the sake of being thin. This is because when she was alive, she suffered from poverty and famine, so she feels people refusing to eat spits on how she suffered.
  • In Tona-Gura!, calling Hatsune "motherly" means a Tickling Hell for whatever poor soul did so.
  • Toriko has several:
    • Just looking ugly or unpleasant is enough to piss Sunny off. While usually it just sends him in a comedic screaming fit, ugly antagonists immediately get sentenced to death.
      Sunny: Gross = kill
    • Do not badmouth Froese, when Miodra is around. It's so dangerous, that even Joa isn't brave enough to try.
    • Zebra has a violent temper and a dislike to anything he deems "cocky", but the one thing he hates the most is liars. He also inverts this trope when Komatsu tells him the truth despite being afraid of him: Zebra instantly calms down and becomes more cooperative.
  • Utawarerumono: Do not mess with Touka's doll.
  • Val × Love: Skuld will not forgive an insult directed at Röskva.
  • Voltes V: Prince Heinel had to grow up his entire life being judged for his traitor father's sins. As a result he hates his father, refuses to speak about him and loses his temper when he's compared to him.
  • The Vampire Dies in No Time: Anyone threatening or hurting John the Armadillo will get the entire regular cast up in arms against them.
  • Saku "Loli" Momoi of Wasteful Days of High School Girls has two:
    • Any reminders that she's Older Than They Look, and
    • Distracting her or trying to play with her in class.
  • Wolf Guy - Wolfen Crest:
    • Don't you dare compare a gang of common Chaotic Evil delinquents to the noble and much-maligned wolf in front of Inugami, he'll give you a Death Glare and a talking-to the likes you've never seen!
    • Also, don't talk to Akira Inugami for more than five minutes. A certain gang leader gets rather... testy, when Inugami confides in someone other than him. Also, don't insinuate that Inugami's a Nice Guy around that certain gang leader either.
  • Yakitate!! Japan: Suwabara doesn't wear a bandanna because he's bald. Really!
  • Daiz from Yo-kai Watch is for the most part an emotionless Yo-kai who makes those he possesses emotionless and doesn't react at nearly anything. Despite that, he goes absolutely berserk when somebody calls him a sausage (even though he kinda looks like one). It's the only thing he reacts at, but man, can he turn scary when he's angry!
  • Yu-Gi-Oh!:
    • The premise of the show (especially the original manga) revolves around this trope: a soft-hearted and bullied teenager's body will suddenly and spontaneously be possessed by a vengeful, psychotic, vigilante gambling spirit (actually the amnesiac soul of an Egyptian pharaoh who is instinctively obsessed with games due to originating from a time when card games honestly were serious business) whenever either a) said teenager is picked on or endangered, b) said teenager's friends are picked on or endangered, or c) someone challenges said teenager to a game. It's even worse whenever someone cheats...which happens remarkably often.
    • One of the most legendary scenes is Yami Yugi's duel with Insector Haga(Weavil Underwood) during the DOMA arc. Haga pulls out a card, saying it has Yugi's soul and rips it in half. At first, Yami Yugi is grief-stricken, then Haga reveals it was just a prank. Yami Yugi doesn't really take it well. He then activates a card called "Berserker's Soul" which allows him to defeat Haga. However, even though Haga's life points hit zero, he ordered his monster to somehow keep on attacking. Keep in mind that the Seal of Orichalcos was in effect, meaning the pain was REAL. Yami Yugi would have kept on ordering his monster to attack Haga, until Anzu stopped him.
    • Do not call Jounouchi/Joey any insult of inferiority. Do not deny him entry to your tournament to spite him.
    • Seto Kaiba doesn't take losing well, hence his status as The Rival and The Only One Allowed to Defeat You to Yugi. Messing with his beloved Blue-Eyes White Dragons or his company is an even better way to make him angry.
    • Lay a hand on his little brother, Mokuba, or hurt any child in front of him, and Kaiba will raise hell and make you pay for it.
    • If you attempt to use a counterfeit version of the Egyptian God cards, then you have effectively angered the real card and expect a Bolt of Divine Retribution should you dare summon it. Go ahead, ask any Rare Hunter or Odion as to what happened to them when they do so.
  • Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds: Do NOT call Jack 'former King' or anything similar. Also, don't steal his Ramen.
  • Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V: Mentioning Fusion Summoning, or worse actually doing it, is a berserk button to Shun Kurosaki. Also, the Action Field Neo Heartland City gets him riled up. It's justified in both cases as he comes from the original Heartland City which was attacked by soldiers who use Fusion Summoning, so both remind him of the traumatic experience.
  • A lot of the male heroes of Yuusha Gojo Kumiai Kouryuugata Keijiban do not like heroes with harems.
  • Zatch Bell!: Mistake Zeon Bell for his jolly twin brother and he's gonna kick your ass.
