Line 50:
* In ''[[Inuyasha]]'', [[Action Girl]] Sango slaps her [[Handsome Lech]] of a fiance Miroku, when he goes too far with his groping of her (or some other woman). The [[Running Gag]] of 'Miroku gropes Sango, Sango smacks him' is performed often enough over the course of the series that at one point it helps bring Sango out of temporary possession by a flea youkai.
** This little routine also shows up as a special combo move in the video game, where Miroku gropes Sango and ducks as she furiously swings her boomerang at him, which nails the enemy instead.
** Kagome deals out some slaps to characters who aren't even human, for example Inu Yasha himself. She might be a powerful Miko, but she's not really physically strong or fast enough to slap youkai.
* Iwata got the taste slapped out of him by Misaki Matsuya in ''[[Excel Saga (anime)|Excel Saga]]'' when he suggested that getting changed in the locker room would give him an opportunity to see her naked body.
** He got slapped into a vending machine so hard he demolished it.
Line 94:
* 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]].
* Averted in ''[[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.
Line 147:
* In ''[[Harry Potter/Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows|Harry Potter]]'', {{spoiler|Ron gets this from Hermione when he returns}}.
* ''[[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.
{{quote|'''Jaime:''' Only a fool makes threats he’s not prepared to carry out. If I were to threaten to hit you unless you shut your mouth, and you presumed to speak, what do you think I’d do?”
'''Ser Ryman:''' Ser, you do not unders—
Line 154:
== [[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 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 ''[[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.
Line 207:
* In ''[[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]], 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.
