Line 35:
** Although, Shinji has no armor to begin with. However it usually -and awesomely- is inverted in ''[[Super Robot Wars]]'' games: when ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam|Bright Noa]]'' slaps Shinji, Shinji starts to get his act together, gain a spine and a thicker skin, and gradually evolves into a [[Badass]].
* Sae and Momo have slapped each other many times in ''[[Peach Girl]]''.
* The most famous example of this is probably Akane Tendo's Ranma beatings in ''[[Ranma One Half½]]''. Partially justified as Akane Tendo comes from a family of martial artists who lives in a dojo, and is probably quite skilled, but only [[Can't Catch Up|partially]] because the title character Ranma is one of the best martial artists around, who can [[Overshadowed by Awesome|easily]] beat her in a fight.
** Another possible justification is that Ranma is a [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]] who often goes [[Jerkass]] on her because of his raising and his macho behavior. He ''does'' care for Akane and is the first one to go help her if she needs it, but outside of these tight situations he just ''won't'' [[Cannot Spit It Out|spit it out]] or stop [[She Is Not My Girlfriend|denying his attraction to her]]. If she'd actually let him explain when something was [[Not What It Looks Like]], he'd seem something less of a [[Jerkass]].
*** This trope is deconstructed in suitably scary fashion in the infamous Ranmaverse [[Fanfic]] [http://www.fanfic.net/pub/Anime/FanFictions/Ranma/ranma.the-bitter-end.gz The Bitter End].
Line 194:
* ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'' has Scarlet, who would slap Tifa after she is strapped to her chair inside the execution chamber. Later, after she frees herself, Tifa and Scarlet would engage ''in a slapping contest'' on top of the cannon.
** Hilarious considering Tifa is actually an expert martial artist. The fact she can crack skulls with somersaults apparently doesn't stop her from engaging in good old fashioned (and literal) bitch slapping every now and then. Or Scarlet from deciding it's a good idea to take her on barehanded.
* ''[[Final Fantasy Tactics a 2A2]]'' manages to subvert this. After the [["I Know You Are're in There Somewhere" Fight]], there's a scene where Adelle gives one of these to Luso. Luso responds [[Would Hit a Girl|by slapping her back,]] which has Adelle shocked that he would strike a lady, and she slaps him again. Luso responds that she slapped ''him'' first, and slaps her again. It sort of continues from there until she rejoins the clan.
* In ''[[Overlord]] II'', your mistress administers one if you try to hit her.
** Um, forgetting ''[[Overlord]] I'', are we?
