Heroes have a very large pool of potential foes, and a fair number of them aren't even made of matter. Some are even a part of the hero, or somehow feeding off his fear, hatred or insecurity. So how exactly is a hero supposed to fight something he can't punch without empowering, or escape an enemy that lives inside him? By saying, "I'm not afraid of you," or a variation. The thing is, these villains are literally fueled by the hero, so to fight them requires either denying them the emotional energy they eat or dispelling them with a forceful affirmation. Yes, you read that right. This enemy can be talked to death. It's much more awesome than it sounds, really! There are a few variations on this trope, depending on the nature of the villain: The Split Personality can be fought one of two ways. One can outright destroy it in a Battle in the Center of the Mind by recognizing it as a "foreign" presence, or deny that it's a separate part of the hero and assimilate it. The ghost in a Haunted House may be rendered powerless once the visitors agree it has no power over them. All their illusions and Faux Flames can no longer harm the heroes. The Heartless may just vanish entirely if the heroes stop feeding it with their hate, fear, or anger. This is especially the case when they face the Anthropomorphic Personification of the heroes' hate, fear, or anger. People trapped in a nightmare Lotus-Eater Machine or Psychological Torment Zone can be freed by facing whatever personal trauma has them locked in the dream. A case of Gods Need Prayer Badly, where God is just a figment of their imagination, or made real by belief, and is holding back the hero from what he needs to do with silly (or oppressive) rules. The imaginary villain may require a series of demotivators, like "The Reason You Suck" Speech or even just a Shut Up, Hannibal!. Of course, the villain might end up coming back if the heroes think about him or lose faith in themselves. Not Afraid of You Anymore is similar, but deals with an external threat or another person. As this trope is often about learning a villain's specific Kryptonite Factor, expect unmarked spoilers below. |

Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones has the Dark Prince, a manifestation of all the Prince's dark impulses, flaws, and ambitions brought forth by the Sands. He constantly eggs the Prince on to keep following the path of anger and revenge until the Prince realizes his mistake and turns his back on him. At the end of the game the Dark Prince returns to try and take control of their body; the only way the Prince can win their battle is to stop fighting and leave as their conflict is what kept the Dark Prince alive. | |

Samurai Jack: Jack is in the woods, angry at everything that has happened lately. Aku uses this anger to create a duplicate of himself that he cannot conquer until he calms down, at which point Mad Jack ceases to exist. He lasts long enough to try and bring his sword down on Jack before vanishing right before contact is made. | |

Bleach: Ichigo is left shaken after his fight with Ulquiorra as a result of how powerful his Inner Hollow has become and what it forced him to do to both Ulquiorra and Uryuu while he was being controlled by it. When he learns Final Getsuga Tenshou, Old Man Zangetsu merges with the Inner Hollow and tells Ichigo they are one being, and the Inner Hollow is the face of the despair he has been carrying since the fight with Ulquiorra. When Ichigo realises the true motivation of his inner spirits is to protect him, he gives up fighting and allows them to stab him. Surprised to experience no pain, Ichigo learns that his inner spirits cannot harm him because he's accepted them as a part of him, and thus obtains Final Getsuga Tenshou. | |

In Hercules, underneath his heroic bravado, despite being a fully-trained hero, Hercules can still be shown as being afraid in some of the battles. In the film, Hercules boldly faces Nessus, the first monster he encounters, only to be slightly afraid when the centaur towers over the trained hero. Shortly afterwards, Hercules bravely fights a fierce Hydra, a tremendous monster that scares a crowd of Thebans, and even his hero trainer Phil, only for the young hero to scream as he falls into the beast's mouth before being swallowed whole in a single gulp, sword and all. Even after battling multiple heads, Hercules screams again in terror as he falls right into the Hydra's swarm of heads and slides down a spiral of one of the monster's long necks. | |

An example in Angel involves a couple of ghosts. Cordelia is renting an apartment that is haunted, and the ghost of the resident mother is about to get her to commit suicide when she insults Cordelia. This triggers her self confidence, and she virtually exorcises the mother ghost by claiming the apartment as hers. | |

Subverted in the original A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984). At the end Nancy says to Freddy "I take back all the power I gave you, Freddy!" and that he's not even real, so she shouldn't be afraid of him. It seems like she defeated him, but he reappears not much later. Of course, since Freddy can resurrect just by someone who thinks about him, it was followed by a dozen sequels. However, in Dream Warriors, he does show that he hates her on a personal level, implying the trope had some effect on him. | |

One of the evolved humans in Heroes was a criminal named Knox who had the ability to feed off peoples' fear and use it to give himself superstrength. When he faces off against Nigh-Invulnerable cheerleader, Claire, Knox is unable to gain strength as Claire's extreme healing factor and tendency for getting injured leaves her virtually fearless towards most danger. | |

In Naruto the titular character must defeat a manifestation of all of the dark emotions and hatred of the villagers he had repressed over years of isolation. Naruto eventually realizes the trick is not to beat his doppleganger in a battle but to accept all of the baggage he had tried to ignore. Only by taking it back could he deny it as an avenue of attack for the Kyuubi. | |

In Harry Potter, there is a monster called a boggart, which takes the form of your worst fear. If you use the 'riddikulus' spell, and imagine a way to make the thing funny (e.g. a spider on rollerblades) then it'll be weakened, as it's hurt by laughter. Numbers can bolster courage as well, and because it can only assume one form at a time, facing it as a group confuses it. | |

Yandere Simulator has a non-verbal example in Budo Masuta, president of the Martial Arts Club. As it becomes clear that a serial killer is on the loose, the school atmosphere drops and the students begin to grow afraid and paranoid. Budo is the only student who lacks a "scared" animation, giving the impression that he isn't afraid of the serial killer. | |

But one night, she decides, "It's my dream, I'm in control!" and fights back, destroying the demon and realizing she has the latent abilities to enter and exit dreams; as an adult she's a Dream Police who enters the dream of clients with recurring nightmares and uses her powers to purge their bad dreams for good. | |

The third film suggests it's actually Freddy's belief that trumps this trope: The Dream Master had this bit: The original scene was going to be parodied in an early version of Freddy vs. Jason. Kia repeats Nancy's lines almost word for word, and then turns her back... on Jason. As Freddy put it, right before Kia is killed, "Wrong one, bitch." |

In Persona 4, every Persona-user (save the protagonist) must defeat their "shadow" in order to awaken their powers— by accepting that their shadow is a part of them. Noteworthy in that the shadows actually are the Persona-users' repressed desires and emotions, which is why denying them makes them even more powerful. Persona 5 shows what happens when a person who isn't inherently decent says "I actually kind of LIKE you". It's not pretty. | |

It's an ally rather than an enemy, but Dave discovers that the man who had been interviewing him is dead and his appearance just a result of Dave taking the sauce in John Dies at the End. However since the reason the damn things are there in the first place isn't logical (they are a product of the mind) they promptly disappear, because willing them out of existence isn't logical, either. | |

Silent Hill 2 treats Pyramid Head as manifestations of James' guilt over killing his wife, and since he has repressed the memory and not dealt with it, Pyramid Head is unbeatable throughout most of the game. By the penultimate boss battle, James had unblocked the memory, and was willing to face the consequences of that action, so for the first time the Pyramid Head has a health bar and can be killed. | |

Bromly of The Swan Princess delivers this exact line when he (erroneously) feels he has discovered the shapeshifting "Great Animal" that he'd been discussing with Derek. The creature in question was a small mouse. Bromly notched an arrow and cornered it against a tree before demanding that it change into its true form. The mouse squeaks loudly and Bromly runs away in terror.... | |

The Smallville episode "Slumber" had the dreams of Clark Kent and a girl named Sara Conroy interconnecting. In Sara's nightmares, she is terrorized by a monster. Clark tries to fight the monster, but it seems unstoppable. Clark figures it out and encourages Sara not to be afraid of the monster anymore. Once she does, it gets weakened and Clark destroys the monster with his heat vision. | |

The Real Ghostbusters gets into this with the Boogieman. When a pair of children hire the boys to deal with this frightening apparition, the lads initially fail, but they remind the kids that if they're not afraid, then the Boogieman — who feeds off fear — can't actually hurt them. The kids later come to their rescue, putting that advice to good use by laughing at the Boogieman, and providing enough of a distraction for the boys to pull off that week's phlebotinum overload. Although the phrase "If you're not afraid, it can't hurt you" seems to be a team catchphrase, as it turns up again in later episodes, notably The Halloween Door. |

Star Trek: The Original Series had the episode "The Spectre of the Gun", the Five-Man Band of Kirk, Spock, Bones, Scotty and Chekov are transported to a world based on Tombstone, Arizona. All attempts to stop the fight at the OK Corral don't work, until Spock realizes that the guns aren't real. They are real only because the men expect them to be real and, because they know this, the bullets go right through them. In "Day of the Dove", an entity that feeds on hatred tries to trap the Enterprise crew and a Klingon crew into an eternal battle. When they figure this out, Kirk and Kang drive the entity away by making a truce and adopting a friendly jovial attitude. |

Subverted in Stranger Things: Bob Newby advises Will to do this in regard to his recurring flashbacks of the Upside Down and the monstrous entity he keeps seeing in them. Bob happens to be Locked Out of the Loop and as far as he knows the whole thing is just in Will's imagination, so he tries to help by suggesting a method that worked on his own childhood fear "Mister Baldo". Unfortunately this turns out to be very bad advice, as this particular monster is completely real and unhindered by hearing that its target isn't afraid. | |

In the '80s horror-comedy House, once the protagonist recognizes and stands up to the Big Bad ghost, he becomes immune to the ghost's power and simply lifts his young son out of its grip. The trope title is invoked verbatim, with a capper of: "I beat you! And this stupid house!" | |

Several examples in Hercules: The Animated Series It happens often either way, whether Hercules is brave then afraid of the monster he faces, or vice versa. In "Hercules and the Big Kiss", Hercules is afraid of Doubt but bravely faces him afterwards. In "Hercules and the Underworld Takeover", Hercules is afraid of a giant serpent in the River Styx but bravely faces him afterwards. Hercules faced Ladon several times, but in "Hercules and the Parents Weekend" he is bravely facing him only to be afraid when Echidna tries feeding Herc to Ladon. In "Hercules and the Son of Poseidon", the hero-in-training boldly confronts a three-headed sea serpent, only to be nervous after seeing the monster up close and is initially easily defeated. In "Hercules and the Tiff on Olympus" Phil suggests that Herc fights the Man-eating mares, only for the young hero to be afraid due to being outmatched. In "Hercules and the Long Nightmare", Hercules had a dream of his adult and teenaged self being attacked by a three-headed Hydra. When Morpheus asks for Hercules's help against Phantasos, Hercules mentioned how the Hydra was "as scary as they come". Both Hercules and Phil face Phantasos, who transforms into the Hydra. Though afraid, Hercules overcame his fear, and bravely defeats the monster. After stopping Phantasos, Hercules told Morpheus that because of the dreams, he wouldn't be afraid if he ever faced a real Hydra, that tackling it in his dreams made it less frightening. Tempest was portrayed as a character who was never afraid. However, in "Hercules and the Girdle of Hippolyte", Tempest was visibly afraid when she almost fell into a pit full of snakes. |

This isn't exactly verbal, but Pinkie Pie's "Giggle At the Ghostly" from the second episode of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic qualifies.

The Pagemaster: Averted. As Richard held his ground, slashing away with his sword and shield, the dragon whipped its tail around and snared the boy. His sword and shield fell to the ground as the powerful tail lifted him into the air. Richard stares down his nemesis, saying "I'm not scared of you!" But then Richard screams as the dragon flips him into the air and, in one large gulp, swallowed him whole. Fortunately, it had also swallowed a copy of Jack and the Beanstalk, which lets Richard summon the titular beanstalk and ride it out of the dragon's mouth. | |

The Legend of Korra Korra claimed to not be afraid of Amon in Book 1. However, after being ambushed by a group of Equalists, it becomes very clear she was just blustering and in fact is very frightened of Amon. She again adopts this attitude in the Spirit World in Book 2, while she's powerless, alone and confronted by a number of dark spirits. To the Avatar, the Spirit World is a Fisher Kingdom. When she's frightened, the already unbalanced spirits become darker and more hostile. When she calms down and approaches them kindly, they shift into friendlier versions. Korra tries the same trick against her dark side, which may or may not be a stress-induced hallucination in Book 4. It doesn't work; her dark side crushes her in a Curb-Stomp Battle. (Or she hallucinated the whole thing and fell unconscious in the swamp.) She later tries to pull this on previous Big Bad Zaheer in order to get over her PTSD from their final confrontation. It fails miserably. |

In The Skeleton Key, the protagonist shouts "I don't believe!" while a hoodoo spell is being performed on her since she was earlier told that the spells would have no power unless she believed. It turns out that she really did believe since the antagonists had spent the whole movie ensuring she did so the spell would work. | |

Filmation's Ghostbusters also dabbles in this. The Knight of Terror restrains people and demands that they look at his face (which the audience can't see), usually with the desired result of intimidation. When one boy finally refuses, says the trope's name, and blows a raspberry, the knight collapses into a pile of apparently empty armor. | |

Star Trek: Voyager played with this one a little. The aliens of the episode were being terrorized by a manifestation of fear from their Lotus-Eater Machine that could actually read their mind, and actually kill them. Janeway ends up being the one to defeat it, since the aliens have been too traumatized to do it themselves. | |
