What character embodies this ideal

[Nouw]

I'd say someone from Band of Brothers but they're real people so that'd be cheating. Competition finished anyway D:

 

[Jonluw]

Never heard of that guy. By the art style, I'm guessing he is from...JoJo's Bizarre Adventure?

He's from Mahou sensei negima.
You should try reading it. Made by the same guy who made Love Hina, actually.
This is the man who broke out of an alternate prison dimension by flipping the skirts of his captors. A man who can travel as far as he wants by throwing one of his (infinite amount of) swords and then jumping onto it, then surfing to his target. He knows physics doesn't allow it, but he just doesn't give a damn.

Spoiler: Spoilers for the series, you probably shouldn't read this.

Also, even in a universe where returning from the dead is not permitted by the lore, he has several times come back from being erased from existence.
