A hot blade is an edged weapon that somehow heats up, adding the thermal energy of its temperature to the kinetic energy of its blow to achieve Absurd Cutting Power. When active, it will usually glow visibly (without losing any of its structural integrity, somehow explanation Steel-based blades will have any heat treatment ruined after exposure to such heated-blade usage, and if you get it glowing hot it will also become malleable and easily deformed, as any blacksmith knows. You could use some kind of material that can withstand the temperatures the intended heat blade will reach, such as a tungsten alloy or ceramic, but there will be tradeoffs based on the strengths and weaknesses of the chosen material.) because Power Glows.
Compare Vibroweapon, which uses extremely rapid vibrations instead of heat to enhance its cutting power. A more advanced weapon is the Laser Blade, where the blade is made of Pure Energy instead of just adding (heat) energy to a physical blade. Hot blades are more common in a Science Fiction setting. Its more fantasy-oriented counterpart is the Flaming Sword; a hot blade retains a touch of Playing with Fire while requiring less Willing Suspension of Disbelief.
Usually used with swords, but other bladed weapons are also seen occasionally. A subtrope of Absurd Cutting Power.

In Subnautica, you can use a Modification Station to upgrade your trusty Survival Knife into a Thermoblade, which doubles its damage (not that you particularly want to get in a knife fight with a leviathan) and instantly cooks any edible fish you whack with it. The downside is that the weapon is wholly ineffective against any lifeforms adapted to live in lava, such as the ones in the Very Definitely Final Dungeon.

Filler Villain Shusuke Amagai's Zankpaktou has this when its hilt spouts flame.
Captain Yamamoto's Bankai, in contrast how his Shikai is a more visually-impressive Flaming Sword, is this, resembling a burnt-black katana that at rest just seems to smoke, along with a full-body flame armor. Both of which are as hot as the sun.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild blurs the line somewhat between this and Flaming Sword. The Flameblade (along with the Great Flameblade and Flamespear) glows red when carried and puts out enough heat to keep Link warm and even melt ice. But when used to attack, it emits a burst of fire that can ignite anything flammable in its path. Most players use it as a convenient way to start campfires.

The Final Fantasy XIV version of the Gunblades is this principle applied to the Vibroweapon mechanism of the Final Fantasy VIII models. The aetheric cartridges the weapon uses are "fired" to flash-heat the blade and increase its cutting power. In fact, guns are an imitation of this technology that was converted to launch projectiles instead, and the name of these weapons were derived from the warriors who first wielded these weapons: the Gunnhildr's Blades.

Fallout: New Vegas:
The Cosmic Knife from the Dead Money expansion can be made into this after being warmed by a heating pad, since its Saturnite material somehow retains heat for a ridiculous amount of time. Such superheated blades have an x5% critical hit chance multiplier and set foes on fire, but unlike the Cosmic Knife (clean) variant you can make with Abraxo-brand cleaning agent, the superheated version is still covered with Cloud residue and thus has less durability.
Similarly, the Saturnite Fist from the Old World Blues DLC can be given to the Toaster in Big MT and made superheated, glowing red-hot and setting enemies you punch on fire. One wonders how you don't burn your own hand while wearing it.

In Codex Alera many of the High Lords combine fire and metalcrafting to heat their swords, because a bleeding wound can be watercrafted better easily enough, but a cauterized wound is unhealable. Since this causes their swords to shine brightly, they also use them to send signals and challenges that can be seen across the chaos of a battle.

In the Gundam franchise, the next step down from beam sabers are heat weapons, the most iconic of which is the Zaku II's heat hawk. Another well-known example is Gundam Sandrock's heat shotels, which become ludicrously huge in Endless Waltz. Usually they cut with a plasma field—like beam sabers, except projected over a surface instead of into the air. This shows in a scene in the original series where a heat hawk is able to briefly parry the Gundam's beam saber

Sunforge Blades in The Dragon Prince are Sunfire Elf artifacts enchanted to stay as hot as the moment they were forged. Even a dagger-sized one can cut through steel and solid stone with ludicrous ease, and wielders need to store them in specially-enchanted sheathes, lest they themselves be set on fire. Just about the only thing a Sunforge Blade can't cut is another magically-imbued item like an Assassin's Binding.

In One Piece Enel does a variation by using his electric powers to turn his trident into molten metal in order to burn Luffy, who's immune to direct attack by Enel's lightning. He also uses it to quickly reshape said trident (it was originally just a golden staff).

Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA: Tanaka can detach her arm and turn it into a red hot sword with incredible destructive power. In fact, it is so hot that Illya cannot pick it up without special protection.

The Ultra Series have multiple examples where the main ultra of the show can summon glowing, energy blades coated with superheated plasma which can slice apart kaijus.
Ultraman Gaia and his co-star, Ultraman Agul, can both summon superheated energy blades. In one episode Gaia uses his blade to slice a kaiju into chunks.
Ditto for Ultraman Mebius and Ultraman Hikari, whose wrist blades glows with superheated plasma and have more than once bisected kaijus into two pieces.

Keyleth attempts this in one episode of Critical Role, using Vax's daggers as the focus. Unfortunately, due to a misunderstanding about the effects of the Heat Metal spell and an aversion of Convection, Schmonvection, the extra damage is done to Vax.

The Thermic Lances in X-COM: Terror from the Deep are a combination of Hot Blade and Vibroweapon, and are pretty effective against the Demonic Crabs. note Ok, they are actually lobsters.

In Nomine: While not a bladed weapon per se, Mjolnir's head glows red-hot when swung. It deals quite a lot of damage, but also severely harms its holder unless it's grasped using the magic gauntlet Jarngreipr.

XCOM: RWBY Within has Blake carrying a knife with a low-power laser in the handle, which heats the blade and allows it to more effectively penetrate armor and hardened skin. note  Blake is the only one stated to have one, since XCOM operatives, with the exception of MEC Troopers, do not carry melee weapons. She specifically asked Dr.Shen if he could make something for her to use as a last resort.

Steel Crow Saga: Metalpacters can use their Extra-ore-dinary powers to heat metal red-hot with a touch, which they use in combat to enhance their bladed weapons. Their powers also maintain the blade's strength and let them hold it safely.

Lupin III: one episode (also adapted to the anime) implies that the secret of Goemon's impossibly sharp Nagareboshi/Zantetsuken lies in both its temperature: apparently the katana is eeriely hot, which might explain its ability to cut through anything.

In Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, LQ-84-series UGs can throw superheated knives that are able to penetrate (and partially melt) stone and metal. Perhaps notably, Sam's sword also has a distinct red blade but isn't a Hot Blade; just an exceptional Vibro Weapon. Sundowner's weapon also seems to count, as visible heat and steam can be seen as he slowly slices across the President's neck in the intro.
