The King of Hearts, Domon Kasshu comes to mind. From G Gundam, which should be a familiar example of youthful fighting spirit that actually made itself known outside of Japan. There should be other examples, but I'm drawing a blank atm. Plenty of names with burning or blaze or some such indication of hot blood without literal fire in anime and JRPGs, though, which falls into the same category as what we've been discussing.

Not a huge deal, in any case. I just think the Japanese tendency to take words like Pulse and slap it on anything even remotely compatible because it sounds cool is a wondrous tradition. Who needs semantics when you have big, exotic words to use.
