Eventually he uses [[Dirty Old Man|Ma Kensei's Shock Technique]] ... which consists of grabbing her by the hooters. She ''immediately'' goes from silently trying to kill everyone near her to slapping Kenichi and berating him for being a pervert.

* In ''[[Super Robot Wars]] Original Generation 2'', Seolla had been brainwashed into forgetting that her close friend Arado, who recently pulled a [[Heel Face Turn]], ever existed except as an enemy. Yet, when he made a crack about the size of her breasts (something he's been doing to her since they day they met), she immediately snapped "How many times have I told you not to make fun of my chest!" by pure reflex.
* ''[[Gate Keepers]]'': the entire crew is in a [[Lotus Eater Machine|Lotus Eater-type]] situation, and Shun realizes before everyone else that he's in a dream. He snaps Ruriko out of it by calling her a "crybaby" (something he used to call her when they were kids).

* The plot of an episode of the ''[[Super Mario Brothers Super Show]]'' revolved around an escalating argument between the brothers, and, to get at Mario, Luigi snapped Mario's suspenders back, pulled his [[Nice Hat|cap]] down, and plucked his moustache so hard it curled upwards. Later, Mario fell under a hypnotic tech-induced Koopa Trance, leaving it up to Luigi to save him.
