Examples of [[{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]] in ''[[{{SUBPAGENAME}}]]'' include:
 
* ''[[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]].
Line 7 ⟶ 8:
** The ''Bright Slap'' is usually followed by an event that would normally follow in a [[Heroic BSOD]] unfortunately, shortly after Amuro wise up from his little sulking incident, he still ran away from WB for a while (and need to be tossed to the brig obviously). It was [[Heroic Sacrifice|Ryu's death]] that solidified Amuro to become a real man rather than Bright slapping him. [[Rule of Funny|But who cares?]]
*** However, if you ask [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5pWun4tvCo Amuro what happened during the Bright Slap incident...]
* ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00]]'' Tieria Erde slaps pre-[[Character Development]]!Saji Crossroad {{spoiler|for being self-centered and stupid, after the latter revealed the location of a Katharon's base to the Federation, leading to a massacre}}.
** Some time before that, Tieria ''received'' a slap from [[Team Mom]] Sumeragi Lee Noriega {{spoiler|when he unjustly lashes out at Setsuna and blames him for Neil!Lockon's tragic death}}.
** Lockon punched Setsuna for opening his cockpit during a mission.
* ''[[Gundam Seed]]'': Kira Yamato delivers one to Cagalli when she starts raging over deaths of her comrades.
** ''[[Gundam Seed Destiny]]'' offers an unintentional [[Deconstruction]] of the concept; the writers may have intended Athrun to be a [[Big Brother Mentor]], but the fact that he seems incapable of interacting with Shinn without punching or yelling at him does nothing but make Shinn hate him.
* ''[[Mobile Suit Victory Gundam (Anime)|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.
** With an epic [[Heroic BSOD]] of sorts: that night, Wufei bombs the base, and several of her cadets are killed. Complete with [[PietaPietà Plagiarism]], and Noin descending to a breakdown during the ensuing battle. The coup de grace? Wufei refuses to kill her after defeating her in battle because she's a woman.
** ''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 (Anime)|Gundam X]]'': [[The Captain]] Jamil Neate does this to [[Kid Hero]] Garrod, also providing the most excellent quote:
{{quote| "When a man strays from the right path, a kind man needs the courage to raise his fist and correct him."}}
* ''[[Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam (Anime)|Zeta Gundam]]'': Emma slapped Kamille (for acting like a child) and later Fa ('''''twice''' in the same scene'' for being reckless during battle), etc.
** Kamille received what can only be described as a "full body Bright Noa slap" from Mr. Wong. "It's called a correction." Which in itself is ironic, considering how much of a whiney dirtbag Wong is.
** ''Zeta'' is full of this. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckUbAykOt3M Here]'s a video which serves as a montage to it.
*** It should be noted, Bright delivered a lot of those.
*** Ironically, it's subverted AND reversed in the same series (early on no less): Bright himself ends up getting the Falcon Punch version of his own slap courtesy of [[Complete Monster|Bask Ohm]], right before the other present Titans descend and proceed to knock the propellant out of him. The reason? He claimed the Titans were overzealous, and Bask found him out of line!
**** 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 (Anime)|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.]]
* ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam Age (Anime)AGE|Gundam AGE]]'' took this trope and made it ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam Age (Anime)AGE/Funny|hilarious]]''. Arisa snaps Asemu out of a funk -- byfunk—by ''slapping him on the ass''.
