Armor-Piercing Slap: Difference between revisions

** Ash also got slapped twice by Misty very early in the series for his immature behavior (both cut from the dub).

* Subverted in ''[[Hunter X Hunter]]'': Killua once got himself and Gon beat up by the lady operating the elevator at the Tower of Heaven. Later, Killua decides that, since he learned to use [[Functional Magic|Nen]], he's free to insult her with impunity, but it turns out ''[[Badass Bystander|she can use Nen to]]'' and gives him another beating.

'''Gon''': How come I got hit? }}

* In ''[[Soul Eater]]'', whenever Spirit Albarn gets too weepy over his daughter, Shinigami will knock some sense into him with his "Shinigami Chop." Notably, unlike most uses of this trope {{spoiler|the Shinigami Chop actually gets used seriously as a weapon, once, and it does an ''absolutely crazy'' amount of damage when Shinigami isn't messing around}}.

* Princess Sally delivers one to ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (comics)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'''s titular hero after he decides that stopping Eggman is much more important than settling down with her.

* In ''[[Forgotten Realms]] Comics'' after one [[Not What It Looks Like|misunderstanding]] Ishi enthusiastically "[[Punctuated Pounding|explained]]" to Jasmine that Agrivar [[He Is Not My Boyfriend|is not her lover]] and Vartan Hai Sylvar had to heal both ladies. He's way nicer than a typical Gold Elf, but rarely gets a clue to shut up, so...

'''Ishi''': (talking to Agrivar about her outburst) ...which means that I ''still'' find affairs of the heart a mystery.<br />

'''Vartan''': (to Ishi) You know, I was just talking to Jasmine about affairs -- <[[Unsound Effect|Ssslap]]> }}

* ''[[Honor Harrington]]'' does this several times to ''goad a hitman and professional duellist into challenging her to a duel'' to save his own honour. If you know anything about [[Action Girl|Honor]], you can [[Curb Stomp Battle|guess how that went for him]].

* Happen all the time in [[A Song of Ice and Fire]]. Cersei in particular is fond of it; subverted nicely once when Tyrion decides he's tired of taking it quietly. There's also a very literal, gender-flipped version with Jaime; when he gets his golden hand, he occasionally uses it for this purpose.

[Jaime hits him. With the golden hand.] }}

** She's a cute little girl in a comedic series of games that are ostentatiously anime-influenced. She's the most dangerous creature on the planet - except for all the, you know, murderers.

* In ''[[Fire Emblem]]: Path of Radiance'', the [[White Magician Girl]] Mist does this to [[The Big Guy|the warrior Boyd]] after he insulted her weight, knocking him back ''four'' squares. (Normal "shoving" knocks characters back one or two squares at most.)

* ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'' has Scarlet, who would slap Tifa after she is strapped to her chair inside the execution chamber. Later, after she frees herself, Tifa and Scarlet would engage ''in a slapping contest'' on top of the cannon.

** Hilarious considering Tifa is actually an expert martial artist. The fact she can crack skulls with somersaults apparently doesn't stop her from engaging in good old fashioned (and literal) bitch slapping every now and then. Or Scarlet from deciding it's a good idea to take her on barehanded.
