Sacred First Kiss: Difference between revisions

This attitude does exist in the West to some degree, but it is not nearly as significant as it is in Japan, especially for boys. Western culture has the first kiss as a proud "rite of passage" and sometimes a cause for celebration even if it was with a complete stranger. See [[First Kiss]], the parent trope, for more info.

 

{{examples}}

 

== [[Anime]] ==

** Akane's first kiss was also 'taken' in a similarly crazy fashion, as Ranma kissed her after sitting on her lap while under the influence of Cat Fu.

** In another episode, to avoid it counting as a kiss, Ranma puts tape over Kuno's mouth. Later, Akane puts tape over Ranma's mouth.

* Played straight in the original manga of ''[[Revolutionary Girl Utena]]''; [[The Casanova|The flirtatious]] Touga steals Utena's first kiss. In the anime, it's played with: Utena speculates that her first kiss might have been from {{spoiler|Dios}}, but she isn't entirely sure when it happened, or if it's even him who did it.

* The first kiss between Yukino and Soichiro in ''[[Kare Kano]]'' is a milestone in their often-rocky relationship.

** In a filler episode, a woman accused Naruto of having no experience in kissing. He felt admitting he kissed a guy would retain his dignity. Probably [[What an Idiot!|not the smartest thing]] he's done.

** In a post-episode [[Omake]] in which Naruto and Lee debate which of them would be better for Sakura, Lee points out that Naruto gave his first kiss to Sasuke, and Naruto frantically tries to cover it up.

* Alice is profoundly shocked when Rin spits his gum into her mouth in ''[[Please Save My Earth]]'' -- it's her first kiss, and Rin is only eight. (Well, [[Reincarnation|sort of]].)

** Actually, he first spits gum into her mouth. Later on, she suspects him of trying to do it again - Rin takes his gum out, though, and shocks her by really kissing her.

* Most of the ''[[Kanon]]'' scenarios include one.

* Due to clumsiness on the part of Tamaki, Haruhi of ''[[Ouran High School Host Club]]'' gives up her first kiss to another girl; Haruhi is not nearly as fazed by this as Tamaki. Later, [[Schoolgirl Lesbians|Benio]] is shocked to learn that someone else beat her to Haruhi's lips.

* In both the ''[[Tokyo Mew Mew]]'' anime and manga, Momomiya Ichigo accidentally receives her first kiss. In the manga she trips and [[Accidental Kiss|inadvertently kisses]] her crush Masaya Aoyama. In the anime, this doesn't happen, so she reacts even more angrily when, later on, Quiche just flies in and kisses her without any warning.

* ''[[Shakugan no Shana]]'' devotes a whole episode to explaining the "milestone" nature to its title character.

* Souichiro Nagi ([[Tenjou Tenge]]) has his first kiss "stolen" by Aya. He spends the rest of the anime pissed off and avoiding her.

* "First Kiss" is the title of the first episode of ''[[Blood Plus]]'', and the event occurs when Haji, faced with Saya's understandable refusal to drink his blood, force-feeds it to her mouth-to-mouth in order to prompt her into an [[Unstoppable Rage]]. In a later episode, when asked if she has ever kissed a boy, Saya reflects back to this event, unsure if it counts but blushing all the same.

** The odd part is that most of the students are western. Raised in Japan, but a Japan where a lot of the culture has gone away.

*** This might just be the creators either not realising or not caring about the different traditions. Another possible example of cultural wire-crossing comes when the various characters are at {{spoiler|Shirley's father's funeral}}, and Rivalz remembers that he had been flippant about it before realising what had really happened. As he apologises he bows in a decidedly Japanese fashion, despite the fact that he's Brittanian, and so is the person he's talking to.

** It doesn't help that Setsuna [[Hates Being Touched]] in the first place.

* In ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'', Asuka forcibly claims her first kiss from Shinji, holding his nose while their lips are locked so that he is about to pass out by the time she lets him go.

* This trope is used to save the world in ''[[Suzumiya Haruhi]]''.

** In another short story, Kyon is offered the sleeping Mikuru's first kiss (not his, obviously) by her older self. It is left unclear whether he takes it or not, but he [[Unreliable Narrator|claims not to have.]]

* In the manga ''[[Penguin Revolution]]'', Yukari's first kiss occurs [[Accidental Kiss|by accident]] when she goes down a playground slide, collides with Ryo, and ends up lying on top of him, lip to lip. It's just as well, since within a few chapters another boy kisses her unexpectedly anyhow, but it gives her and Ryo both a number of uncomfortable moments all the same.

* In ''[[Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water]]'', Jean and Nadia's first kiss happens [[Kissing Under the Influence|when the former is stoned by hallucinogetic mushrooms(!)]]. Later, {{spoiler|Nadia is angry at Jean after their second kiss because he can't remember their first}}. This reset-pressing moment only succeeds in making this "development" more like a cruel tease instead of a genuine development for either character.

** This is actually parodied in the [[Abridged Series]]

{{quote| '''Tuxedo Mask:''' Unconscious girls can't say no!}}

** A later episode revolves around Unazuki trying to save up her first kiss. When the monster of the day steals her pure heart, she tries to give it to ''Makoto''....

** Make that his first three kisses.

* In ''[[Hyakko]]'', Torako loses her first kiss to her best friend Suzume--which upsets her a lot, even though [[Les Yay|she said she'd like to give Suzume even ''more'' than that]].

** I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that {{spoiler|Konoka and Setsuna's Pactio}} was the first (real, romantic) kiss for both of them.

** After trying to avoid it for a good chapter or so, this is revealed to be the reason why {{spoiler|Ku Fei}} was so reluctant to form a Pactio.

** In Kyo's defense, he didn't know that she was unconscious at the time. She was semi-conscious just a few seconds before.

* Mikoto from [[School Rumble]] [http://www.onemanga.com/School_Rumble/84/b17-04/ kissed a girl!], sorta

* In ''[[Hot Gimmick]]'', Hatsumi's first kiss is with {{spoiler|Ryoki}}, and she tries to convince herself that that didn't count, and that her first kiss is with {{spoiler|Azusa}}.

* In ''[[Paradise Kiss]]'', when Yukari and George's first kiss gets interrupted, he nonchalantly tells her that next time they will continue where they left it and he will "''kill her with pleasure''". Naturally, this being ''[[Paradise Kiss]]'', they go from "first kiss on the lips" to {{spoiler|"kinky bondage sex"}} in no time flat.

* Nagasumi in [[Seto no Hanayome]] has his first kiss with San's bodyguard, [[Even the Guys Want Him|Masa]]<ref>well, technically it was just CPR, but whatever</ref>- from that point forward cliche anime love theme music plays over a close up of the bodyguard with a background of falling rose petals every time Nagasumi sees him.

* Mizore's first kiss in [[Rosario to Vampire]] is devastating to her, {{spoiler|coming as part of an attempted rape. After [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|Kurumu saves Mizore]] from her subsequent suicide attempt, she [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|kisses Mizore]] again (as only a succubus can) to show her that [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|"A kiss isn't so bad is it?"]].}}

* Nanoka's first kiss in [[Koi Kaze]] turns out a little ironically when ''she'' initiates a serious kiss with Koshiro and then ''she'' yells, "Aahhh! It's gone! My first kiss!"

* Do you know how [[Big Bad|Lucia]] established how evil he was to Haru's group in ''[[Rave Master]]''? He stole Elie's first kiss ([[Laser-Guided Amnesia|probably]]). Elie was devastated, and Haru was ''pissed''.

* [[MAR]] Snow and Ginta shared their first kiss when Snow was freed from the ice prison she'd encapsulated herself in, falling into Ginta, to be 'caught' by their lips. Since they're both 14 at the time, they both freak out as expected (and Ginta gets chewed out later by her guardian).

** The 'fall into a kiss' is repeated the second time Snow is freed, without the freaking out (though Ginta still gets chewed out for it).

** Earlier, Dorothy kisses Ginta on the cheek as thanks for helping to retrieve Bappo. He mentally apologizes to Koyuki, who isn't his girlfriend at this point.

* It must be noted that it is not at all uncommon for one or both... participants in a given H-Manga to be more worried about the first kiss than their actual virginity.

* Futaba of ''~There, Beyond the Beyond~'' ruminates over giving away his first kiss in exchange for information, before he realizes that his actual first kiss was from his [[Incest Subtext|older brother]].

* Given the [[Serious Business]] treatment (ominous music, freeze frame) in [[Hana Yori Dango]] after Domyoji kissed Tsukushi in the dark during a party. Its as if everyone just found out that Domyoji was a murderer or something.

* This comes up in ''[[Sasameki Koto]]'' when the protagonist's oblivious crush wants to practice on her for her first kiss. Apparently it doesn't count as a first kiss if you're wearing an Ultraman mask.

* in Kodocha, Akito steals Sana's first kiss. Of course (like everything else in Sana's life) this inspires a song.

* In ''[[Full Moon wo Sagashite]]'', Takuto spends a whole episode preventing Mitsuki from sharing this with a boy who just wants to embarrass her, and it turns out {{spoiler|a [[Dramatic Wind]] knocks Mitsuki and Takuto into an implied accidental kiss}}.

* In ''Dragon Half'', during Mink's fight with Princess Vina, Mink is knocked into a building...{{spoiler|and happens to fall on Dick Saucer, the pop star/dragon slayer they both have obsessive crushes on, accidentally kissing him.}} Needless to say, Princess Vina was pretty distraught and Saucer was just confused about the situation.

* Kind of Subverted in [[Vampire Knight]] for fans who shipped Zero and Yuuki are not pleased that Yuuuki's first kiss is taken by Kaname especially {{spoiler|the kiss scene depicted as quite forceful and Yuuki was struggling so break free(it's understandable reaction for a girl who wake up in that situation)}} But in the end turned out for fans and Yuuki herself, {{spoiler|there is no first kiss to argue or fuss over, since Kaname fed Yuuki since she was little through mouth}}

** Seine got her first kiss stolen in the same way by the same [[Lolicon]]. Since she was raised in America, she focused more on the sudden act instead of the kiss itself. [[Parental Substitute|Simon]] points out, while crying, that since she was a little girl, it dosen't count and Shizuki then points out that Simon was the real one hurt by that.

* In [[Upotte!!]], Funco is taken aback when {{spoiler|Sako}} takes her first kiss, saying that she had wanted to give it to the person who would register her (she's an anthropomorphized gun, so this is probably equivalent to marriage, or something). {{spoiler|Sig}} is not at all pleased at this turn of events.
