Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!/Anime and Manga/Gundam: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

* ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam]]'': [[Team Dad|Bright Noa]], previously pictured on the main page and now here, used this method to straighten out [[Humongous Mecha]] pilots, [[Bridge Bunnies]], and just about anyone else. Among mecha fans, it's become known as the '''''Brightslap''''' (or [[Gratuitous English|Brighto Surappu]]). It has been [[Memetic Mutation|scientifically proven]] that the Brightslap [[Memetic Badass|transforms wimps into MEN OF DESTINY]].

* ''[[Mobile Suit Victory Gundam]]'': Captain Gomez uses a correction PAUUUNCH on Uso in, but in the face of {{spoiler|the death of everyone he knows or cares about,}} even this does little.

* ''[[Gundam Wing]]'': Lucrezia Noin does this to a recruit at Victoria Base.

** ''Endless Waltz'', [[The Movie]] of ''[[Gundam Wing]]'', has Lady Une begin to do this to the wigged-out and apparently brainwashed Mariemaia Kushrenada, only for the series' [[Technical Pacifist|pacifist female lead]], Relena Darlian, to get between them... and deliver the slap ''herself'', then [[Shut UP, Hannibal|verbally wipe the floor with Mariemeia's ideas]]. Considered by many to be Relena's [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]].

* ''[[After War Gundam X|Gundam X]]'': [[The Captain]] Jamil Neate does this to [[Kid Hero]] Garrod, also providing the most excellent quote:

**** And as if to add insult to injury (literally), the next scene shows Bright, now in bandages and an arm cast, being dismissed by Bask only to run into Jamaican on the way out, who promptly ''slaps'' him across one of his back bruises.

* ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ|Gundam ZZ]]'': Judau Ashta gets to effortlessly dodge one of Wong's attacks later on and knee him in the gut after Wong acted like a jerk for no real reason. And then there was the time [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|Judau hit Bright]] [[Hit Me Dammit|at Bright's own request.]]
