Sometimes a character is so overflowing with the awesome that they don't actually have to do anything for it. They are not just awesome; they kind of have awesomeness as a power. All they have to do is walk into the room, or in in the most extreme cases, stand there. Their mere existence radiates an effect of awesomeness that causes tangible physical harm to their enemies and makes men and women fall in love with them. All anyone else can do is watch. "Whoa... Dude, that guy is awesome..." "What do you mean? He isn't doing anything — whoa, he is awesome..." Characters can be made of it. Groups can be made of it. Scenes can be made of it. Entire movies can be made of it. If awesomeness as a force didn't exist, how could anything ever be so cool it can be used as a laxative? This trope (in case the multiple uses of the word "awesome" as if it has an objective meaning didn't tip you off) is by its very nature almost completely irrational and often used for comedy. Do not try to ruminate over the meaning of this trope. Either accept the physical manifestation of Rule of Cool or watch a more logical show. Not to be confused with something awesome happening off-screen, where the awesomeness's effect was probably justified by something tangible actually happening. A Sub-Trope of It Runs on Nonsensoleum, Rule of Cool. A Super-Trope to Awesomeness Is Volatile. |

Bleach: Spiritual beings exert reiatsu on their surroundings, which is capable of bringing people to their knees or killing if intense enough. Most individuals need to consciously intensify such power, even if it looks like they're not doing anything, but some people do it passively or can't even stop it. At one point Yamamoto brings Nanao to the brink of a nervous breakdown, complete with intense sweating, tears running down her face and a foaming mouth, just by lightly exerting his Reiatsu, telling her to make herself scarce after she showed the intention to assist Kyoraku and Ukitake in fighting him. One of the most notable examples is the Primera Espada Coyote Starrk, who was always lonely (even going so far as to split himself into two people, Starrk and Lilynette, just so he wouldn't be alone anymore) because his reiatsu was so strong every Hollow going near him simply died. Inverted with Ichigo after he learns the Final Getsuga Tenshou; he has become so powerful Aizen can't detect his presence anymore, leaving him to incorrectly assume that Ichigo has discarded his Reiatsu in exchange for raw physical strength. After his Shinigami powers are restored post-timeskip, Ichigo breaks free from Yukio's Fullbring (something the latter screams should be impossible) simply by releasing his Bankai, which is supposed to compress Ichigo's Reiatsu. |

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann takes this pretty far: Gurren Lagann (piloted by Simon and Viral) arrives just in time to save the day. All nearby enemies are destroyed by the awesomeness of its arrival. Spiral Energy in general allows the heroes' hot-bloodedness to manifest as anything from giant drills to galaxy-sized robots. Essentially, Pure Awesomeness surpasses all known laws of physics. Which is why the Anti-Spirals are against the use of Spiral Energy: eventually, the universe will be literally incapable of holding so much awesome and, as such, will collapse. |

In Naruto, a number of strong ninjas, like Zabuza, Orochimaru, and Sasuke with Orochimaru's power, are capable of giving off a "killing intent" so strong that it paralyzes weaker enemies, despite apparently not being an actual jutsu of any kind. This is taken to ridiculous levels with the First Hokage, who can literally cause the room he's standing in to crack just by flaring his chakra. | |

In Fist of the North Star, Raoh has a few such moments, with the mere presence of his emissaries sending his enemies in despair and lifting the morale of his loyal subjects. One defining moment was when some mutinous soldiers of his were attacking terrified civilians that lived in his domain after hearing of his death, then Raoh appeared and the civilians started cheering while the mutineers lined up and kneeled for their execution, without him having to say anything or do anything more beyond a single slap (strong enough to behead the victim, but still a single slap). | |

Medaka Box has Hinokage Kudo, whom no one knows, remembers, or even notices despite his large size. Why does no one notice him? Because he's so damn powerful people subconsciously repress the memory of his existence out of absolute fear. His unnotability has not earned him the nickname "Mr. Unknown." He hasn't earned this nickname 'cos no one knows who he is and therefore can't address him as anything in the first place. Except Zenkichi for some weird reason. | |

Really, anytime the entrance theme of someone particularly notable plays, especially during something like the Royal Rumble or a similar big match. Doesn't matter if they're old or young, big or smallnote Though being big would certainly be a factor, heel or face... they usually have the power to stop a match with their sheer presence, and that's often before they even enter the room. Just ask guys like Big Show or Big Daddy Cool Diesel. | |

Kung Fu Panda: The former Trope Namer is the movie's intro, where the legendary warrior's pure awesomeness alone is sufficient to blind enemies. At least, in his dreams. The Sword of Heroes is so sharp you can get cut just by looking at it. An extreme case of Audible Sharpness. |

Sufficiently strong ayakashi in Ayakashi Triangle can produce a damaging Battle Aura just by being ready to fight.

Suburban Knights has many instances of parodying this — the reviewers find they can do amazingly awesome things just because the character they're role-playing as (and in one case the actor playing the character they are role-playing as) possesses some form of Pure Awesomeness.

In the One-Punch Man fanfic The Strongest Hero Saitama's immense strength is acknowledged by the world. As a result, pretty much all villains and monsters give up as soon as they see him, as shown by the Brain and Brawn Brothers ending their rampage and surrendering because they saw him without him even noticing. The only exceptions are those who, for whatever reason, don't know of him, such as the Sea Folk (who lived on the bottom of the ocean and anyway believed themselves superior to any surface dweller), lord Boros and his Dark Matter Space Pirates (aliens from outer space), and Sonic (who somehow never heard of him, and stubbornly remains willing to face him even after finding out who the bald guy who punched him in the crotch was). | |

Dungeons & Dragons: In the 3rd edition, many powers have the mechanical effect of bolstering allies or hindering enemies through the awesomeness of the power or the character using it. The Exemplar class lets you pick one skill which can be used to impress people, in a manner so awesome that everyone in 60 ft. becomes undyingly loyal to him. |

In an interlude for Brandon Sanderson's Words of Radiance, Lift describes her use of Stormlight this way. Her spren, who is an extremely serious scholarly gardener, is very annoyed at this. When she's later confronted by an Inspector Javert type who's been hunting her, and she realizes he's using powers, her reaction is essentially "He's awesome too? No fair!" |

A somewhat subtler form of this exists in The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion. Middle-Earth, in general, was heavily inspired by folklore and heroic sagas. The characters' abilities have less to do with tangible physical characteristics like strength, endurance or skill and more to do with more amorphous concepts such as "might" or "countenance." Hence, the greatest elves of the elder days could stand against balrogs and dragons simply because they possessed the might to do so. The actual tactics and details of the battles were irrelevant, the outcome was decided by a direct conflict of might. Although this is occasionally contradicted, as in the hilarious moment when it is specifically stated that Ecthelion killed Gothmog by headbutting him with a helmet that had a sharp crest. Why this particular detail was important enough to record is uncertain. In one nice example, Finrod and Sauron "duel in songs of power." Finrod does pretty well for himself, but in the end, Sauron wins. An example most are familiar with is the Black Breath. This is an aura of despair that is emitted by the Ringwraiths, which essentially causes people to give up on life because they cannot be awesome enough. Elrond, his sons, and Aragorn (and presumably Arwen too, though we never see her do it) can heal the Black Breath through essentially being so awesome that the patient wants to live. |

Anima: Beyond Fantasy: It features the Style skill, which is basically a measure of how awesome a character is. The example the book gives as a use for the skill is having thunder crash in time with your strikes while fighting during a thunderstorm. Additionally, characters with large amounts of ki energy or magic power start creating noticeable changes in their environment, like miniature localized windstorms or earthquakes. |

Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple does this on occasion, just because his masters are that awesome. Sakaki, in particular, is able to utilize the power of awesomeness. In Chapter 18 he makes a charging delinquent stop and fall on his butt retreating just by looking at him, and in Chapter 30 he apparently shoots a Hadouken from his fist (probably just a visual representation of the force of his punch). | |

In One Piece, all living beings posses a power known as "Haki" (Ambition), which manifests as both Combat Clairvoyance (Observation's Haki) and Instant Armor (Armament's Haki). But only one in a million people can use the Conqueror's Haki, which is essentially their sheer willpower behind it, as the 'Conqueror' part in the name implies. When two users clash, it actually cleaves nearby clouds in two and Shanks specifically demonstrated the ability to start damaging the (rather tough) ship he and Whitebeard were on when they arrived. The current list of users: Luffy, Roronoa Zoro, Ace, the Yonkou: (Big Mom, Kaido, Shanks, and Whitebeard), Big Mom's son Charlotte Katakuri, Kaido's son Yamato, the late Pirate King Gol D. Roger, his Number Two Silvers Rayleigh, Boa Hancock, Don Chinjao, Donquixote Doflamingo, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Eustass Kidd, the late Kozuki Oden, and Luffy's grandfather, Vice-Admiral Garp "The Hero". note Sengoku and Hancock haven't been seen using it however. Luffy realizes during his fight with Kaido that the latter can infuse his attacks with Conqueror's Haki, making them much more powerful. Kaido confirms his suspicions and retorts that very few Conqueror's Haki users are capable of doing so (such as Roger, Whitebeard, Big Mom, Yamato, Zoro, Rayleigh, Shanks and Garp). Luffy quickly adds his name to the list after using the technique to block Kaido's next attack and land a powerful punch of his own. |

Happens during the final battle of Macross II: in the middle of his Villainous Breakdown, Ingues is having his own ships self-destruct without the crew, be them Marduk or their enslaved Zentraedi, daring to defend themselves when Earth's two last Macross Cannon ships fire on his Planet Spaceship. They don't do any real damage, only shaking it... But just that happening to the invincible ship of their divine lord is enough to prompt the Marduk to fight back and wipe him out. | |

In The Rose of Versailles the protagonist Oscar meets a young Napoleon Bonaparte. She is terrified of him for no rational reason, and demands to know who he is. Seems that she subconsciously recognizes him as a Future Badass supreme. | |

Gildarts from Fairy Tail has so much magical power he can affect his surroundings without casting a spell. It brings Natsu to tears, because it's the first time he's ever truly felt defeated. | |

In Fate/stay night, the mere presence of the Servants has a little bit of this. And when a character like Lancer gets serious, the pure awesome makes both you and the air freeze in fear. The most extreme example of this is Gilgamesh, who nearly makes Shirou shit himself without even showing any killing intent. Justified in the fact that Gilgamesh is one of the most powerful beings in the Nasuverse and can defeat Berserker without even trying and is in possession of a weapon capable of Earth-Shattering Kabooms. | |

Warhammer 40,000: It overflows with characters that through their sheer presence can invigorate allies to near-invincibility, render enemies catatonic with fear or anything in between, ranging from Tau Ethereals (members of the ruling class), Space Marine Chaplains (Super-Soldier Badass Preachers), and fiery incarnations of the Eldar god of War and Murder. And then there's Creed, tactical genius, who can use his awesomeness to hide a Baneblade on open ground. Partially through camouflage, mostly through badassery. And the orks get this a lot. |

In The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, SpongeBob manages to destroy all of Plankton's mind control bucket helmets with energy blasts from his guitar. Plankton's exclamation afterwards cements it as this trope in conjunction with The Power of Rock. | |

Omar from The Wire is such a force of nature in the streets that he is often proceeded by people yelling warnings of him coming, and we see him twice rob a stash house by just standing outside, and the second time he wasn't even armed or knew it was a stash house, he was going to the store to buy cereal while wearing turqoise satin pyjamas. Similarly, Brother Mouzone establishes himself as a presence fast, and is shown to command peace in the Highrise courtyard by just sitting on a bench and reading. | |

Played for laughs in Kaitou Saint Tail: when Asuka jr. bragged he had been assigned to capture Saint Tail by the mayor himself and Rina shouldn't butt in, her pointing out she's the mayor's niece caused her to be surrounded by an aura of awesomeness that blinded the presents. | |

TRON: Legacy: During the battle at the End Of Line club, the good guys are getting thoroughly trounced by Clu's Black Guards. At least until Kevin Flynn walks into the room, kneels and touches the floor. Simply being there is enough for Kevin to completely turn the tide, thanks to his Physical God status in the Grid, by being a User with possession of the master disk. As they are leaving, several programs are shown on their knees, praying, and Kevin Flynn walking out, holding his hands in a Christ-like manner. |

Tales of Zestiria has domains as a big part of the story. They're basically magic background fields where the person generating them creates a form of sympathetic magic. A sufficiently powerful being could completely change the flow of battle just by showing up. | |

Paperinik New Adventures: Nowadays, Paperinik (Donald Duck's superhero/antihero alter ego) is so feared by most of Duckburg's criminals that when they're caught in the act they have a little chat before taking their tools and all the evidence and giving themselves up to the police. The few who don't are from out of town (and learn quickly to do the same), supervillains who actually have a shot at beating him, or the Beagle Boys. | |

Humbaba from The Epic of Gilgamesh is described as having seven "auras", that render him invincible to attack from Gilgamesh and Enkidu. Some translations call these "splendors" or "terrors". | |

The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye: There is the race of aliens called "Personality Ticks", parasites who feed upon the charisma of those with extroverted personalities. They are defeated when Rodimus and Megatron are called, and the sheer presence the two of them have basically caused the ticks to overdose on awesome and die just from them entering the room. | |

Cosmo sometimes works like this in Saint Seiya. Prime offenders would, of course, include Gods whose mere presence and aura will paralyze anyone and repel attacks, but even main characters can be included, such as Phoenix Ikki whose mere aura can slap silly some enemies and more, but the clearest instance of this is when a wounded and armor-less Seiya is cornered by three Silver Saints, about to be killed, when the Sagittarius Gold Cloth comes to his rescue covers his body for the first time. This prompts a Mass "Oh, Crap!" for every enemy involved on the scene, followed by a Cosmo discharge that gives the three Silver Saints (not the weakest ones either) a Curb-Stomp Battle. Lizard Misty has earned a reputation as being absolutely invincible through a perfect mission record and never having even been touched in combat (the worst he ever got was being splattered with the blood of the enemy he was killing). So when he's sent to kill Saori's Saints Seiya starts shaking in terror the moment he realizes who just demanded his suicide, and spends most of the fight aiming to die fighting because until he realized Misty had a weakness he knew he was going to lose. |
