Line 39:

*** This trope is deconstructed in suitably scary fashion in the infamous Ranmaverse [[Fanfic]] [http://www.fanfic.net/pub/Anime/FanFictions/Ranma/ranma.the-bitter-end.gz The Bitter End].

*** Akane usually beats Ranma up for many reasons but seems to reserve actual slapping for when she's ''really'' upset with him.

** An [[Armor Piercing Slap|Armor Piercing]] [[Curb Stomp Battle|Curb Stomp Beatdown]] variety applies to the [[Old Master]] [[Dirty Old Man|Happosai]]. He may be one of the (if not ''the'') top martial artists in the series, [[Super Speed|able to move so fast as to be invisible]], [[Super Strength|strong as an ox]] and [[Battle Aura|unbelievably powerful]], but if Akane or the mob of girls [[Panty Thief|whose underwear he stole]] [[Megaton Punch|catches up with him]]...

* In ''[[Code Geass]]'', Kallen does this to Lelouch for acting coldly about the fate of Japanese that work for Britannia. She later does this again, when {{spoiler|a depressed Lelouch who is [[Not Himself]] tries to kiss her}}. Later on, she tries it on Suzaku when he {{spoiler|tells her he's going to drug her for information}}, but it doesn't work. He backs down of his own accord, but that doesn't stop her from breaking out a [[Combos|7 hit combo]] to voice her disapproval (and do what a good part of the fandom had been waiting for), in a ''dress'', no less. This is universally considered one of her [[Crowning Moment of Awesome (Sugar Wiki)|Crowning Moments of Awesome]].

** In truth, Suzaku lets her beat him up because he's trying to apologize, though when you consider what he's trying to apologize for, it comes off as almost insulting and stupid (she might have outright killed him were it not for her position), especially considering {{spoiler|Kallen's mother became addicted to that same drug}}.

Line 54:

** He got slapped into a vending machine so hard he demolished it.

* Carrera Marker, mother of ''[[Karin]]'' Maaka, does this with a slipper whenever Karin does something very [[Our Vampires Are Different|un-vampire-like]] and in every scene her husband Henry says something.

* Anna Kyouyama from ''[[Shaman King]]'' is famous for slapping several characters around. Even villain Hao. [[I Have You Now My Pretty|Who actually]] [[Love At First Punch|likes it]].

** {{spoiler|Probably because his own mother has her own [[Armor Piercing Slap]]}}

** {{spoiler|Probably because his own mother has her own [[Armor-Piercing Slap]]}}

* There's a variant in the ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' manga, where Cheerleader Madoka slaps her unknown-to-her magically-aged teacher on behalf of her classmate, whom Negi [[Accidental Pervert|had just walked in on while she was changing]]. She tries to do the same to Negi's also-aged rival Kotaro, whom she happens to have a small crush on, but he casually blocks it. So she ''punches him in the face'' instead.

** Also done by the [[Beware the Nice Ones|usually very calm]] [[Mama Bear|Chizuru]] to [[Noble Demon]] Wilhelm when he was about to [[Taken for Granite|petrify]] her newly adopted room mate Kotaro. Also, his petrification power is virtually impossible to heal, so she saved Kotaro's life.

** {{spoiler|[[Flash Back|Flashbacks]] reveal that the lead's father Nagi got this often from [[Official Couple|love interest]] Princess Arika}}.

** Asuna does this to Evangeline (and Negi) a lot. It's also a ''literal'' armor piercing slap, as her [[Anti Magic]] lets her punch right through [[Deflector Shields|magic barriers]]. Eva repeatedly complains about how Asuna is able to do that.

** Negi himself doesn't ''always'' let girls slap him. At [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v20/c181/16.html one point], he actually [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v20/c181/17.html blocks] Anya's punch.

** Chisame does this to Negi when {{spoiler|he is possessed by his [[Super Powered Evil Side]] during his meeting with Godel. It fully snaps him out of it despite the fact that the [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v29/c265/8.html transformation]was triggered by Godel taking credit for Negi's entire village as a child. Seeing as this is the entire reason for Negi's dark-natured mindset, this is quite the feat. [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v29/c265/12.html Here.]}}

* Yukimura Keiko's slaps in ''[[Yu Yu Hakusho (Manga)|Yu Yu Hakusho]]''.

* Subverted in ''[[Irresponsible Captain Tylor]]'' when, in the midst of being held hostage, Tylor tells Yuriko that she can hit him if she wants, offers her a briefcase to do it with, and then ducks when she swings. The briefcase hits the bomb-wielding terrorist, ending the crisis. He gets slapped at other times as well but doesn't have any armor to pierce. She never seems able to actually ''hurt'' the Captain, and he seems to ''like'' getting slapped by her to begin with

Line 70:

** Subverted with Princess Otohime when she slaps a thief for stealing. While the slap did quite some damage to the thief, it also broke her hand in the process.

* [[Les Yay]] variant in ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]] StrikerS'': Teana Lanster frequently manhandles her [[Shorttank]] partner Subaru Nakajima whenever she does or says something that [[Tsundere|ticks her off]] (Which is, well, often). Pretty amazing, since Teana's just a [[Smart Girl]] [[The Gunslinger|gunslinger]] while Subaru's a [[Lightning Bruiser]] {{spoiler|[[Super Prototype|Type-Zero]] [[Hollywood Cyborg|Cyborg]].}}

* In ''[[Full Metal Panic]]'', Sousuke has been beaten up often enough by Kaname to break out in a cold sweat as soon as he realizes she's angry about something. Even though Sousuke is a [[One Man Army|ridiculously skilled]] mercenary and Kaname is just a very athletic high school girl. And, as the second season clearly demonstrated, the only thing Sousuke apparently needs to keep kicking ass is being reminded what ''real'' pain is by Kaname. [[Get a Hold of Yourself Man|And damn, she's good at that]].

[[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!|And damn, she's good at that]].

** Likewise, [[Lovable Sex Maniac|Kurz Weber]] takes a lot of well-earned abuse from Melissa Mao for his antics. In this case, however, it's much more sensible, given that Mao is a former Marine and Kurz's hand-to-hand combat skills are comparatively a bit lacking.

* Miyabi nails Kaoru with this in the second episode of ''[[Ai Yori Aoshi (Manga)|Ai Yori Aoshi]]'', due to Kaoru's [[Accidental Pervert]] moment with Aoi and Miyabi's [[Mama Bear]] reaction.

Line 84:

** In the Rikkaidai team, [[Arrogant Kung Fu Guy]] sub-captain Gennichirou Sanada applies slaps to his teammates whenever they step out of line or lose their matches. Subverted because this is seen not as abuse of authority, but as ''[[Authority Equals Asskicking|a standard form of punishment]]'', just as much as Tezuka assigning laps in Seigaku for various misdemeanours: in fact, [[Hit Me Dammit|at least two players have specifically]] ''[[Hit Me Dammit|asked]]'' [[Hit Me Dammit|to be slapped if they lose]]. {{spoiler|In the manga Sanada asks his teammmates to slap ''him'' before the Finals, apparently as an apology for all the times he hit them.}}

** During the American arc, when {{spoiler|Ryoma}} acts selfish and rude by forgetting the team's needs, {{spoiler|Tezuka}} straightens him up via a slap delivered ''in public''. Later, {{spoiler|his rival Kevin}} also is slapped by {{spoiler|his American coach}}.

** An Tachibana is a more straight example, trying to slap males twice to call them out on their behavior. The first time, Atobe catches her arm and [[I Have You Now My Pretty|tells her she's gorgeous when angry]]. The second, Kirihara tries to duck and falls down the stairs they were standing next to.

** Let's not forget that, in Rokkaku, Bane slaps Dabide in public if he slacks in the courts. Or, if they're not playing, he ''kicks him in the head''.

* In ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni]]'', Rena Ryuugu packs quite a punch. She usually does it playfully but still...

* In the sequel to ''[[Kotetsu Jeeg]]'', this is used as an actual (serious) attack by the titular mecha in the form of the Hell Slap which involves the Jeeg deploying spiles on its palm and igniting a jet on the back of its hand to deliver a a powerful [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|slap]] to the enemy. A variant of this invloves the hand [[Rocket Punch|detaching]] and striking the enemies around it.

* In ''[[Kyo Kara Maoh (Light Novel)|Kyo Kara Maoh]]'', Wolfram takes the time to verbally bash Yuuri's mother, calling her a Cheap Hussy. Completely pissed, Yuuri delivers a vicious slap to his face that sent the room into silence. Yuuri then learns to ''never do this again'', because slapping someone's left cheek is a [[Wacky Marriage Proposal|marriage proposal]]. So, he then became engaged to the very person who insulted his mother. Way to go.

* A rare male-to-male example: In ''[[Initial D]] Second Stage'', Seiji of Team Emperor, after his defeat at the hands of Takumi, gets slapped by Kyouichi, who follows it up with a [[The Reason You Suck Speech]].

* A rare male-to-male example: In ''[[Initial D]] Second Stage'', Seiji of Team Emperor, after his defeat at the hands of Takumi, gets slapped by Kyouichi, who follows it up with a [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]].

* Early on in ''[[The Sacred Blacksmith]]'', Luke Ainsworth gets a glimpse of Cecily Cambell's assets after the monster they were fighting had shattered her [[Memetic Mutation|BREAST]][[Chainmail Bikini|plate]] and the undershirt underneath. The ensuing embarrassment, egged on by Luke's [[Nosebleed]] reaction, prompts her to beat his face in savagely.

* Possibly the most literal example comes from ''[[Macross Frontier]]'', when Klan Klan, a Zentradi giant, get upset with Mikeal, slaps his mech so hard that it knocks him off balance.

* Female on female example from [[Bokurano]]: {{spoiler|Anko}} repeatedly slaps {{spoiler|Youko}} while screaming "[[What the Hell Hero]]?!" at her, after {{spoiler|she's revealed as [[The Mole]] from another Earth and Koyemshi's younger sister.}}

* Female on female example from [[Bokurano]]: {{spoiler|Anko}} repeatedly slaps {{spoiler|Youko}} while screaming "[[What the Hell, Hero?]]?!" at her, after {{spoiler|she's revealed as [[The Mole]] from another Earth and Koyemshi's younger sister.}}

* ''[[Gankutsuou]]'': A male on male example occurs in episode 2. When Albert tries to make light of almost having been killed, Franz slaps him.

** And in one of the later episodes, when Albert starts blaming his mother for being the cause of [[Break the Cutie|all the crap he's gone through]] she slaps him.

* ''[[Ladies Versus Butlers]]'': [[Oblivious to Love]] [[Idiot Hero]] + ([[Tsundere]] + [[Magnificent Bastard|Magnificent Bitch]] competing for his affection) = earth-shattering DOUBLE [[Armor Piercing Slap]].

* ''[[Ladies Versus Butlers]]'': [[Oblivious to Love]] [[Idiot Hero]] + ([[Tsundere]] + [[Magnificent Bastard|Magnificent Bitch]] competing for his affection) = earth-shattering DOUBLE [[Armor-Piercing Slap]].

* Averted in ''[[Kaze no Stigma (Light Novel)|Kaze no Stigma]]''. [[Tsundere|Ayano]] often tries to slap or burn the more powerful [[The Stoic|Kazuma]] but he usually blocks it. In fact, its almost genderflipped in that while Kazuma never hits Ayano, he is able to tease her, be a [[Jerkass|jerk]] to her, or incite her jealousy with impunity. It is '''HILARIOUS''' to watch.

* In ''[[Vinland Saga]]'', Canute flips out, after {{spoiler|Ragnar's death}} and Askeladd gives him one of these. It shuts him right up.

Line 134:

* Played straight and inverted in ''[[Father Goose]]''. [[Slap Slap Kiss|Walter and Catherine have been sniping at each-other for the whole movie]] and it eventually leads to Catherine slapping Walter. He returns the favor in a heartbeat.

* [[Averted Trope|Averted]] in ''[[Night of the Living Dead]]''. Barbara wants to leave the zombie-besieged house to help her (now-dead) brother. Ben doesn't want her to. She slaps him. He refreshingly after overuse of this trope, backhands her upside the head. He is seen in a no less sympathetic light.

* The movie ''[[Groundhog Day (Film)|Groundhog Day]]'' has a ''montage'' of [[Armor Piercing Slap|APSs]], since Phil continues to make different moves on Rita, and is continually shot down.

* The movie ''[[Groundhog Day (Film)|Groundhog Day]]'' has a ''montage'' of [[Armor-Piercing Slap|APSs]], since Phil continues to make different moves on Rita, and is continually shot down.

* A slight and rather justified variation appears in ''[[I Love You Phillip Morris]]'' as {{spoiler|a fairly effeminite Phillip slaps Steven after Steven faked his own death to get out of prison (again) and he comes back posing as Phillip's lawyer (again). Phillip was never supposed to find out about the fake death and Steven couldn't risk telling him the truth either.}}

* Played with and deconstructed a bit in ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean]]''. Jack Sparrow is self-honest enough to recognize the possibility that he ''might'' deserve any particular slap, but does not automatically assume so. So, each time, he thinks about it for a moment before reacting. Hence: A woman slaps him. *thoughtful look* "I'm not entirely sure I deserved that." Another woman slaps him. *thoughtful look* "I may have deserved that."

Line 145:

== [[Literature]] ==

* In ''[[Harry Potter (Franchise)/Harry Potter and ~~The~~ Deathly Hallows|Harry Potter]]'', {{spoiler|Ron gets this from Hermione when he returns}}.

* In ''[[Harry Potter (Franchise)/Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows|Harry Potter]]'', {{spoiler|Ron gets this from Hermione when he returns}}.

* ''[[Honor Harrington (Literature)|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.

Line 153:

== [[Live Action TV]] ==

* Subverted in ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]''. Buff gets pissed off when she walks in on Angel giving Faith a hug ([[Not What It Looks Like]]; he was merely comforting her) and when Angel refuses to let Buffy take Faith to prison she hits him. He reflexively hits her back. When Buffy pulls her [[Puppy Dog Eyes|sad-face]] in shock that [[Double Standard|Angel actually hit her]], he [[What the Hell Hero|calls her out on it]] by pointing out: "You hit me first, and in case you don't remember, you're a bit stronger than I am!"

* Subverted in ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]''. Buff gets pissed off when she walks in on Angel giving Faith a hug ([[Not What It Looks Like]]; he was merely comforting her) and when Angel refuses to let Buffy take Faith to prison she hits him. He reflexively hits her back. When Buffy pulls her [[Puppy Dog Eyes|sad-face]] in shock that [[Double Standard|Angel actually hit her]], he [[What the Hell, Hero?|calls her out on it]] by pointing out: "You hit me first, and in case you don't remember, you're a bit stronger than I am!"

* Subverted at one point on ''[[That 70s Show]]'', where Jackie attempts this on Fez, who simply catches her hand before it can reach his face and berates her for trying it. [[Double Standard|It's okay though]], because it's a joke about how effeminate Fez is.

* In ''[[Twenty Four|24]]'', Jack is on the receiving end of one these when Agent Walker [[What the Hell Hero|questions his humanity]]. She also brings [[Berserk Button|Jack's dead wife]] into it, and Jack, seeing how pissed off she is, manages to control himself.

* In ''[[Twenty Four|24]]'', Jack is on the receiving end of one these when Agent Walker [[What the Hell, Hero?|questions his humanity]]. She also brings [[Berserk Button|Jack's dead wife]] into it, and Jack, seeing how pissed off she is, manages to control himself.

* Subverted, surprisingly, in ''[[Moonlighting]]'': Maddie is mad at David because he tried to defend a man who had beaten his wife in the heat of the moment after seeing her with someone else. When David starts complaining, she slaps him... and immediately realizes the [[Double Standard]] in the situation.

* In the 4th season of ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined (TV)|Battlestar Galactica]]'', Baltar publicly reveals {{spoiler|that Kara Thrace [[Dead All Along|died on Earth]] and the Kara they know is an [[Angel Unaware]]}}. Kara responds by slapping Baltar and storming off; which would hardly be worth mentioning but for the fact that Kara has ''always'' [[Megaton Punch|megaton punched]] anyone (even superior officers) who've pissed her off. Kara's 'mild' reaction was likely due to conflict between her anger over Baltar's action, and relief that it's finally all out in the open.

Line 164:

** In "[[Doctor Who (TV)/Recap/S32 E1 The Impossible Astronaut|The Impossible Astronaut]]", {{spoiler|River Song does this to the Doctor after seeing him die in his future, but her and the viewer's past, assuming the death she just saw was some sort of cruel joke}}.

* [[Kamen Rider Ryuki|Kamen Rider Odin]] commonly uses this as an attack. {{spoiler|He even knocks over a truck with it at one point.}}

* ''[[~~Noahs~~ Arc]]'': {{spoiler|Chance gives one to Eddie during a heated post-cheating argument}}.

* ''[[Noah's Arc]]'': {{spoiler|Chance gives one to Eddie during a heated post-cheating argument}}.

* ''[[Community (TV)|Community]]''. Jeff is on the receiving end of one of these after he kisses Annie, ignores her all summer, states "we're just friends", and then reveal he had sex with one of her class mates.

** That was clearly a closed-fisted punch. There's an audible thud, Annies grabs her hand in pain, and Jeff gets a pretty bad nosebleed.

Line 197:

* In ''[[Overlord]] II'', your mistress administers one if you try to hit her.

** Um, forgetting ''[[Overlord]] I'', are we?

*** For those who have not played [[Overlord]], attacking your mistress, or any of your (female) slaves causes them to slap you, sending your [[Evil Overlord]] [[Lord of the Rings|Sauron]] wannabe flying accross the room. [[Armor Piercing Slap]] indeed.

*** For those who have not played [[Overlord]], attacking your mistress, or any of your (female) slaves causes them to slap you, sending your [[Evil Overlord]] [[Lord of the Rings|Sauron]] wannabe flying accross the room. [[Armor-Piercing Slap]] indeed.

* ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]''. Punching Meryl while she is following Snake results in her countering with a punch strong enough to take him down. It's even better in the Guns of the Patriots. If you pat down one of the FROG soldiers enough times, she'll megaton punch you worse than Meryl, knock Snake flat on his ass and take a small chunk of his health for your troubles.

* The Boss in ''Metal Gear Solid 3'' doesn't slap men when she is angry with them and wants to shut them up. Instead she [[Freud Was Right|takes their pistols out of their hands, breaks it, and throws the pieces back at them]]. The effect is the same.

Line 205:

* Sayori gets ''two'' Armor Piercing Slap moments in ''[[Yo-Jin-Bo]]''. If you follow Yo or Mon-Mon's paths, Mon-Mon will try to garner sympathy (and thus, attention) by feigning a lethal injury. Upon discovering he's just fine, she slaps him. Or, if you follow Bo or Ittosai's path, Ittosai will make several comments about death and the uselessness of life, which angers her. Unlike Mon-Mon, it's surprising that Ittosai's only reaction is to protest that he's been slapped.

* In the ''[[Tokimeki Memorial (Visual Novel)|Tokimeki Memorial]]'' series, Kotoko of ''Tokimeki Memorial 2'', being the Type A Tsundere she is, was the master at this, even going as far as {{spoiler|slapping her own teacher, Kasumi (albeit for [[Wrongly Accused|different reasons than love]], unlike with the protagonist)}}. And {{spoiler|Suzune}} of ''Tokimeki Memorial'' '' {{spoiler|Drama Series 2 : Irodori no Love Song}}'' delivered a powerful one to the Main Protagonist too.

* In ''[[Mitsumete Knight (Video Game)|Mitsumete Knight]]'', the main heroine, Sophia, delivers a brillant one to the Asian, the main protagonist, if he doesn't take upon himself after being insulted by Sophia's [[The Alcoholic|drunken]] [[Drowning My Sorrows|father]]. She may be aware that her father is a pathetic wreck, [[~~Daddys~~ Girl|but do not slander]] [[Berserk Button|him in front of her]] (unless you're, CG-wise, a [[Hundred Percent Completion|Hundred Percent Completionist]]).

* In ''[[Mitsumete Knight (Video Game)|Mitsumete Knight]]'', the main heroine, Sophia, delivers a brillant one to the Asian, the main protagonist, if he doesn't take upon himself after being insulted by Sophia's [[The Alcoholic|drunken]] [[Drowning My Sorrows|father]]. She may be aware that her father is a pathetic wreck, [[Daddy's Girl|but do not slander]] [[Berserk Button|him in front of her]] (unless you're, CG-wise, a [[Hundred Percent Completion|Hundred Percent Completionist]]).

* Villainous example: ''[[Maple Story]]'' has Female Boss/Anego, a rather old-looking woman who can deal ridiculously heavy damage with a slap.

* [[Deadpan Snarker|Kim Pine]] can pulverize hordes of ''mooks'' using a barrage of [[Armor Piercing Slaps]] while [[Slasher Smile|smiling like a maniac]] in the [[Scott Pilgrim]] videogame.

* A very serious, tragic example happens in ''[[Rule of Rose]]'' when the protagonist Jennifer discovers her [[Berserk Button]]. The entire Aristocrat Club that tormented her until that point cringes as one.

* Virginia, from [[Wild Arms 3 (Video Game)|Wild Arms 3]], gets this treatment twice : first by her uncle, who slaps her because she tried to be a Hero and could easily got herself killed (well, rushing in a dungeon, all alone at level 1, filled with gobelins smuglers isn't the brightest idea), and the second time by Maya, a Drifter like her (but way more experienced), who gives her a [[What the Hell Hero]] speech after Virginia tried to pursue the antagonists and nearly got herself killed, save for the intervention of her comrade Jet, who she completly ignored while he just saved her life, which prompted Maya's slap. She quickly realised how naive and stupid she acted this time, thanks to Maya's speech.

* In [[Runescape]], at the end of the "Garden of Tranquility" quest, when the King starts deriding all your efforts, the player is left thinking "[[Well Excuse Me Princess|Well, excuse me Your Highness!]]" Then, the Queen, who up until that point has been quite a bitch, steps up and requests to speak to the King privately. She delivers him an armor piercing slap (that delivers 10 LP damage), and tells him to be grateful.

* The Doubleslap attack in ''[[Pokémon (Franchise)|Pokémon]]'' can be considered this in-game.

* Mr. Heart in the [[Fist of the North Star]] arcade fighting game has this as a ''Fatal KO'', and as a level 2 super move in Ken's Rage.
