Forceful Kiss



You are getting increasingly frustrated. Your Love Interest is ignoring your affections for him/her, even though you're making it oh so blatantly obvious. And you love him/her so much, so much that you can't stand it, that you wish he/she would stop ignoring you, and stop being so oblivious to your love for him/her. What do you gotta do?

Why, grab him/her, pull them close to you and plant a big wet one right on those lips that you've been dying to kiss for so long! And of course, you may not think about what possible consequences that your actions could bring you, since you are just too damn excited at being able to be so close to your love.

Note, engaging in this trope means that you may be a bit overly confident in your attempts to "woo" someone, you may have no idea how to actually do the whole romance thing, or you just couldn't help yourself, and you simply had to get your feelings across somehow.

Sometimes overlaps with "Shut Up" Kiss. It may also happen to a person who is the victim in a I Have You Now, My Pretty moment. Compare Victim Falls For Rapist. May or may not hint at an Attempted Rape.

Anime & Manga

 * Overused in Hentai along with its sister trope "Shut Up" Kiss.
 * Near the beginning of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Dio Brando steals a kiss from Jonathon Joestar's girlfriend as part of his grand plan to humiliate him.
 * Shugo Chara, where famous Idol Singer Utau Hoshina forcefully kisses the mysterious cat-boy Ikuto Tsukuyomi, much to the shock and horror of Amu, Kukai and their Charas (to quote Ran, "It's an adult's world!"). And it becomes Squick once you realize how they are related:
 * And Ikuto himself is so displeased that he slaps her away.
 * Romeo gives Juliet one in Romeo X Juliet. Complete with romantic bridge setting and fireworks.
 * Louise plants a kiss on Saito for their Master-Familiar contract in the first episode of Zero no Tsukaima. She also does this again at the end of the first season.

 * To keep Riku quiet so he won't be discovered Dark surprises her with a forceful kiss in an episode of D.N.Angel.

 * Girls Bravo: The Fukuyama siblings are quite fond of using this trope when it comes to their objects of affection. Kosame does this to Kirie once too.
 * Soubi to Ritsuka in an episode of Loveless.
 * Done by Koizumi to Otani in Lovely Complex. And Otani does this to Koizumi when confessing to her.
 * In Mahou Sensei Negima, since a kiss on Negi is required for a Pactio and Haruna really wanted the Artifact that comes with the Pactio, she does this on Negi. Twice.
 * Not that that's the only time that happened on Negi, nor the only reason. Evangeline once forced a kiss on Negi too, "as a fee for her advice. Asking favors from an evil mage always requires payment."
 * There also the part with the multiple fake Negi: One of them tries to forcefully kiss Yue, and explodes after she repels him.
 * In particular, "Nugi" makes a reappearance as a golem that Haruna made for the girls to practice their Pactio kisses on. Naturally, it doesn't go as planned, and Akira suffers for it.
 * There was also that whole "Wish made too close to the power-leaking world tree turns Negi into a kissing Determinator" incident, where Negi gave a Forceful Kiss to Asuna.
 * And then there's the multi-page Pactio by Negi to Chachamaru. Negi's Forceful Kisses break laws of magic!

 * Kish from Tokyo Mew Mew does this to Ichigo twice.

 * In Neon Genesis Evangelion, Asuka forcibly claims her first kiss from Shinji, holding his nose while their lips are locked so that he is about to pass out by the time she lets him go. Given that it's Evangelion, it's naturally a hugely unromantic moment and doesn't lead anywhere - if anything, it makes things worse later on.

 * In Strawberry Panic Yaya does this to Hikari at the end of episode 13. In the following episode when we see the scene again Hikari shoves Yaya to the floor when Yaya starts to grope her. An understandable reaction seeing as how Kaname had just tried to rape her before that.

 * Luke Skywalker is subjected to a number of these in Marvel Star Wars, probably because he's never really willing to make the first move. A lot of them come from a woman named Dani who he's only interested in as a friend; eventually he stops reacting with shock and dismay and just casually dodges.
 * Happens in the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series in the story entitled Sky Highway. In an alternate dimension, Raphael lands in the passenger side of Hildagaard Rail's car. She was a blonde german woman who had long legs and wore a dress that exposed her ample cleavage. However, spending time in this dimension mutated her giving Hildagaard gigantic lips that went practically from forehead to chin and ear to ear. When Raphael tried to leave her vehicle she grabbed him by the streams of his bandana, pulled him close and said "Shut up and kiss me, you dumkoff!" Her long passionate forced smooch left a lipstick mark that covered Raphael's entire beak and even got on his teeth. When Raphael managed to get away from her Hidagaard Rail called out, "Unt I was sure you would turn into a prince! Auf Wiedershen loverboy!"
