Meet eight hotheaded anime characters like Bakugo from My Hero Academia. See who yells loudest in anime’s anger elite.
Ever found yourself thinking nobody could be as loud and explosive as Katsuki Bakugo from My Hero Academia? Think again! The anime world is packed with characters who solve their problems by yelling first and asking questions—well, also by yelling. These hotheaded anime characters bring the heat (and volume) to every scene they’re in.
Bakugo from My Hero Academia might be the poster child for anger management issues, but he’s certainly not alone. Let’s count down eight of the most gloriously hotheaded anime characters who, like Bakugo, express themselves at maximum volume!
8. Kamina (Gurren Lagann)
The charismatic leader of Team Gurren doesn’t just speak—he announces! Kamina from Gurren Lagann might be the most positively hotheaded anime character ever created. Unlike Bakugo from My Hero Academia, whose rage stems from a competitive drive, Kamina’s loudness comes from boundless confidence and passion.
With his signature pointed shades and bare chest, Kamina punctuates nearly every sentence with a shout about fighting spirit or piercing the heavens. His catchphrase, “Just who the hell do you think I am?!” is practically never delivered at normal volume. While Bakugo screams from frustration, Kamina yells because anything worth saying deserves maximum enthusiasm. Both command attention but through very different energies.
7. Hiyori Sarugaki (Bleach)
This pint-sized Visored from Bleach packs volcanic rage into a small package. Hiyori Sarugaki gives Bakugo from My Hero Academia serious competition in the hair-trigger temper department. With her iconic fang and eternal scowl, Hiyori’s default communication method is shouting insults at everyone—especially her reluctant student Ichigo.
Her favorite ways to express herself? The flying sandal slap and calling everyone “baldy” regardless of their actual hair situation. Like Bakugo, Hiyori masks her insecurities beneath layers of aggression. Both hotheaded anime characters use anger as armor. Don’t let her appearance fool you—this former lieutenant can back up her loud mouth with serious combat skills. Hiyori’s yelling comes straight from her personality. Her grudge-holding capabilities might even surpass our explosive Hero Academia student!
6. Taiga Aisaka (Toradora!)
The “Palmtop Tiger” proves that hotheaded anime characters come in all genres, not just action shows. Taiga Aisaka from Toradora! compensates for her small stature with a monumental temper that rivals Bakugo from My Hero Academia in pure volatility.
This tsundere queen expresses herself through flying kicks, wooden sword attacks, and volume levels that defy her tiny frame. Like Bakugo, Taiga’s explosive exterior masks deep vulnerabilities. Both characters lash out when feeling exposed or misunderstood.
While initially resembling a hurricane of rage, she gradually reveals the wounded heart behind her outbursts. Her relationship with Ryuuji shows her learning to express herself beyond just yelling—something Bakugo himself struggles with. Though from completely different genres, both characters demonstrate how anger often masks deeper emotions.
5. Edward Elric (Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood)
Don’t call him short. Seriously. Edward Elric of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood transforms from calm alchemical genius to raging tornado at any height-related comment. While Bakugo from My Hero Academia maintains a consistent angry baseline, Ed’s hotheaded moments erupt specifically when his insecurities get triggered.
“Who are you calling so tiny he could ride an ant?!” Ed’s height-related meltdowns have become legendary among hotheaded anime characters. His outbursts provide comic relief in an otherwise serious story, similar to how Bakugo’s explosions (both literal and figurative) punctuate My Hero Academia. His brother Al often needs to physically restrain him mid-rant. While Bakugo struggles with his hotheaded nature, Ed’s journey shows how someone can be occasionally explosive but still heroic.
4. Inosuke Hashibira (Demon Slayer)
With a boar’s head and the volume control permanently stuck at maximum, Inosuke Hashibira from Demon Slayer might actually out-yell Bakugo from My Hero Academia. This wild child of the demon-slaying world approaches everything—eating, sleeping, fighting—with extreme intensity and maximum noise.
Raised by actual boars, his lack of social conditioning makes him one of the most genuinely hotheaded anime characters. Unlike Bakugo, whose anger masks complex emotions, Inosuke simply has no filter between feeling and expressing. His rage lacks malice—it’s pure unfiltered emotion. Also, both have distinctive character designs that perfectly match their explosive personalities.
3. Natsu Dragneel (Fairy Tail)
When your magic literally involves fire, being hotheaded comes with the territory. Natsu Dragneel from Fairy Tail takes this literally—this Dragon Slayer’s flames reflect his burning personality. Like Bakugo from My Hero Academia, Natsu’s combat style matches his temperament: explosive, direct, and overwhelming.
“I’M ALL FIRED UP!” is Natsu’s catchphrase and also his entire personality. Among hotheaded anime characters, Natsu stands out for his unwavering optimism. Natsu’s outbursts come from passion and protective instincts toward his guild. Both characters demonstrate tremendous growth throughout their series, but Natsu shows how being hotheaded can unite rather than divide when channeled positively.
2. Asta (Black Clover)
If volume alone determined rankings, Asta from Black Clover would claim the championship among hotheaded anime characters. His constant shouting makes Bakugo from My Hero Academia seem restrained by comparison. Born without magic in a world that revolves around it, Asta compensates with lung power that could register on the Richter scale.
“I’m going to be the Wizard King!” echoes through the Black Clover universe approximately 50 times per episode. Like Bakugo, Asta faces mockery for his perceived limitations, but where Bakugo responds with calculated rage, Asta counters with pure, eardrum-shattering determination. His shouting symbolizes his refusal to be silenced in a world that dismisses him. Asta proves that being hotheaded doesn’t necessarily mean being angry—sometimes it’s pure, unfiltered enthusiasm.
1. Vegeta (Dragon Ball)
The original hotheaded anime character that influenced generations of screamers—including Bakugo from My Hero Academia. The Prince of all Saiyans brings royal levels of rage to every confrontation. Vegeta’s pride-fueled tantrums and power-level-raising screams set the template that many later characters would follow.
“KAKAROT!!!” has been echoing through anime fandom for decades. Like Bakugo, Vegeta’s rage stems from a desperate need to be acknowledged as the strongest. Both characters struggle with coming second to a more naturally gifted rival (Goku/Deku), and both gradually evolve from antagonists to reluctant allies.
Unlike other characters who might mellow completely, Vegeta integrates his fiery nature into his growth. His influence on characters like Bakugo is undeniable—the explosive rivalry, the gradual acceptance of teamwork, and the maintenance of pride while learning humility. Vegeta showed that hotheaded characters could be complex, evolving, and ultimately heroic.
