Pervert Revenge Mode

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

Oh no! You've just had an Accidental Pervert moment and now a girl is after you! And not in a good way! You may have seen her naked, grabbed somewhere she doesn't like, or anything on a similar line. And now you are really in for it!

Can result in an instant smack-down, or possibly a game of hide and seek where the hide-ee is you and the seeker has a Hyperspace Mallet or some other implement!

Not to be confused with the Unprovoked Pervert Payback, where a girl gets set to Pervert Revenge Mode for no apparent reason. Can be subverted if the man is known to be gay by the attacker, or is a girl in disguise, etc. Generally the result of Accidental Pervert, or the Covert Pervert (Who may actually deserve his comeuppance!). Even the Chivalrous Pervert may get battered occasionally. See also: Double Standard. A common tactic of the Tsundere.

No real life examples, please; if it's anything more than just words, tell your local police force, not us.

Examples of Pervert Revenge Mode include:

Anime and Manga

  • Every Harem Anime ever
  • Love Hina - LOTS
    • It gets so ridiculous that later in the anime series, Keitaro lampshades that he's probably invulnerable due to building up a resistance from constantly getting Megaton Punch'd by Naru.
  • Fruits Basket
  • Mazinger Z: Sayaka took no kindly when she was spied in the anime series. One example happened in the the Mazinger vs Great General of Darkness movie, when Kouji walked into her when she was having a shower, and she slapped him.
    • Subverted in the original manga. Kouji and Sayaka saw each other naked accidentally... and they just apologized each other calmly (blushing the whole time). It was especially funny because it was Sayaka the one walked into Kouji.
  • Ranma Saotome of Ranma ½ gets this treatment from almost every girl in the series at some point. Especially Akane, since it was written that way to create even more moments of sexual tension.
  • The Familiar of Zero in which Louise does this to Saito at least three times every episode.
  • Subverted in Neon Genesis Evangelion when Shinji accidentally gropes Rei and she does nothing.
    • Played straight in episode 8, when Shinji, Kensuke and Toji find out what happens when a certain quick-tempered, three-quarters-German EVA-02 pilot wears a dress on the open flight deck of an aircraft carrier in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. In a series that prides itself on Fanservice. Cue slapping noises.

Toji: What was that for?!
Asuka: Payment for the view. A bargain, nicht?

Fan Works

  • The protagonist of Sleeping with the Girls is rather upset to discover that the laws of physics in the worlds he visits actually make this a physical law. Especially problematic when he keeps materialising in the beds of Tsunderes and he doesn't have the ability to shrug off Megaton Punches.
  • It's common in a Naruto for Jiraiya or Naruto usually it's the latter exposes the former.

Mythology

  • The Ur Example is the Greek story of the hunter Actaeon, who stumbled across the goddess Artemis bathing nude in the forest. Actaeon was astounded by her beauty, but Artemis (an eternal virgin) was outraged. In her anger, she turned Actaeon into a stag and he was torn apart by his own dogs.
