* This is how Senjougahara Hitagi meets Araragi Koyomi in ''[[Bakemonogatari]]''. It kick-starts the supernatural plot of the show because {{spoiler|she only weighs 5 kilos, due to a "heavy crab" stealing her weight.}}
* This is how Suzaku meets Euphemia in ''[[Code Geass]]''.
* Happens twice to [[Chick Magnet]] Van in ''[[Gun X Sword]] ''. The first time, Van catches Wendy when she faints; the second time, Priscilla tumbles into his arms. Both girls are potential love interests. However, it's subverted in episode 6 when would-be bandit Klatt fails to catch his girlfriend Bunny. Van mocks him for it.
* Subverted in ''[[Ouran High School Host Club]]'' where during a Zuka club performance where Haruhi jumps off a high stage and into Tamaki's waiting arms... and proceeds to squash him into the ground.
* This is how [[Yandere|Kodachi]] ''thinks'' she met [[Ranma ½|Ranma Saotome]], although she'd actually met "[[Gender Bender|her]]" a few hours earlier. Ironically, the reason he had to catch her in the first place was that he'd accidentally beaned her with a kettle, but no matter—she finds it very romantic and falls immediately in love with him, to his vast dismay.

* Variation on ''[[Pushing Daisies]]'': Due to Ned being [[Blessed with Suck]], when his love interest trips right in front of him he has to step out of the way to avoid touching her, leaving room for someone else to swoop in and be the hero. He gets the girl anyway, but not before he nurses his inferiority complex for a while.
* In [[Once Upon a Time]], Rumpelstiltskin catches {{spoiler|Belle}} when she falls ripping down curtains. 'Cause they're falling in love.
== Video Games ==
* In ''[[Final Fantasy XII]]'', the main character catches Amalia in just this fashion.
** The dramatic version is also used in ''FFVIII'' when the team stages a commando raid on the facility about to freeze the love interest. Squall smashes the tank and Rinoa falls forward into his arms.
* Somewhat subverted in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', when Luigi's parachute gives, and the shiny bishounen Prince Peasley holds his arms out to catch him... only to have Luigi knock him aside and the two to hit the ground anyway.
* Scratch invokes this trope in ''[[Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog]]'', when after he [[Disguised in Drag|dresses]] to seduce Sonic, he deliberately trips and lands in Sonic's arms.
Line 61:
== Webcomics ==
* In [http://www.mysticrev.com/index.php?cid=402 this strip] of ''Mystic Revolution'', a catgirl falls off a cliff into a mighty summoner's arms, complete with a "Hello, beautiful."
* The webcomic ''[[
** Well, the page title IS "A webcomic about defenestration," so...probably justified?
* Occurs in ''[[Questionable Content]]'' [http://questionablecontent.net./view.php?comic=1543 here] with appropriate [[Lampshade Hanging]].
