The Chikan: Difference between revisions

Line 39:

* Hilariously done when [[Jerk Jock|Agon]] and [[Magnificent Bastard|Hiruma]] save a girl from one of these in ''[[Eyeshield 21]]''. After being sent a live video feed of said girl being harassed by a chikan, Agon immediately leaves where he is, goes to the subway, and ''rips the man from the train while it's moving.'' Agon then gets to work on getting under the girl's skirt while Hiruma goes on to blackmail the chikan.

* In ''[[Aoi Hana]]'', the characters meet again after Fumi is molested on the train. Akira stomps on the Chikan's foot after she recognizes Fumi's expression and advises she remember to do that in the future.

** Briefly referenced to in ''[[Wandering Son]]'', by the same mangaka. Once beginning high school, Chiba began going on the train. She says she encountered a pervert, but nothing much is said about it. Starting from then, she lets her mom drive her to school.

** Shimura seems to have a thing for Chikan in her manga. In one of her earlier manga ''Inhabitants of the Threshold'' the protagonist - who was a boy - gets molested by a man on the bus, and Yuki from ''[[Wandering Son]]'' gets groped by a man on the train but then becomes his friend in a spinoff.

* In ''[[Change 123]]'' Motoko is molested by a chikan on the way to meet Kosukegawa, she is so flustered that her [[Split Personality]] [[Blood Knight|Hibiki]] takes control and reaches down to meet the pervert's fingers. At first he believes she is getting into it, but needless to say this was not the case.

{{quote|"Woah! All four of his fingers are backwards."

Line 53:

* In ''[[Mawaru Penguindrum]]'', Ringo's friend Yukina mistakes Shouma for one. Meanwhile, #1 is prone to squeeze into skirts and has mastered the Floor-Level Mirror Technique.

* This issue is only referenced, never explained in [[Seitokai Yakuindomo]]. In episode one, main character Takatoshi finds himself in a subway car nearly exclusively populated by women. To keep from being falsely accused, he assumes the same position as all the other men: riding with his hands held high so that no one can call him a molester. It's a social issue that's played for laughs, [[Gag Series|like most other things in the series]].

* In an early chapter of ''Pump Up!'' [[Dude Looks Like a Lady|Mizutama]] gets groped by an old man on the bus. He found the experience so embarrassing that he started crying.

* [[Eden no Hana]] features one that tries to grope Midori's thoigh when she falls asleep on her train seat. Her classmate Hashiba scares him off.

* In an early chapter of ''[[Detroit Metal City]]'' Negishi is falsely accused of subway groping. It later also turns out that Gaylord ({{spoiler|the first Krauser}}) had to temporarily retire from metal because he was jailed for sexual assault after groping women on trains.

Line 74:

* The story of ''[[Densha Otoko]]'' (''Train Man''), both in real life and the dramatized TV version, starts with a loser confronting a chikan on the subway and unexpectedly winning a date for his trouble.

* They try to set up a sting for this on ''[[Reno 911]]'', but since the "bait" is Dep. Weigel no one tries it.

* An incident with a tv reporter who had her bottom pinched while in the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3f6WMSXQNg middle of a live report].

== [[Video Games]] ==

* ''[[~~Rapelay~~]]'', made by Illusion, where the player is a chikan who gets to molest girls, and rapes a girl he groped and her family as revenge for her turning him in to the cops. When foreign [[Moral Guardians]] complained about the game, the response from the Japanese gamemakers was...to ban all non-Japanese IPs from accessing their websites.

* ''[[RapeLay]]'', made by Illusion, where the player is a chikan who gets to molest girls, and rapes a girl he groped and her family as revenge for her turning him in to the cops. When foreign [[Moral Guardians]] complained about the game, the response from the Japanese gamemakers was...to ban all non-Japanese IPs from accessing their websites.

** Actually Equality Now (the moral guardians) organized spam campaigns against the game companies. Also they succeeded in banning erotic games containing certain fetishes such as chikan, bondage, incest, adultery, or rape.

** Then there's ''Itazura Gokuaku'', about a serial chikan and some of his regular victims. Also has 'Hays Code' endings, with the protagonist either turning himself in and rehabilitating, or getting thrown onto the tracks to his death by one of his victims.

* Lei-Fang's ending in ''[[Dead or Alive]]'' 4 is a perfect example of [[Values Dissonance]]. A man stumbles on a train and accidentally grabs Lei-Fang's breasts as he's falling. She responds by kicking him out of the train's windows, where he plummets into a river. The situation is [[Played for Laughs]] (mostly thanks to the intentional [[Narm]] especially the main lyric of the BGM being "Touch me"), and the crowd gets up and gives Lei-Fang a standing ovation. Find the video on [[YouTube]] and read the comments to get an idea of how disturbing this is to Westerners.

** Though some of the commenters do seem to think it was [[Disproportionate Retribution]] and the guy may have been killed.

** Some of the applause was probably due to her shirt unbuttoning and her skirt slitting up to her pantyline.

* In ''[[Twinbee|Twinbee Taisen Puzzle-Dama]]'', Madoka takes [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain|Dr. Wa]][[Butt Monkey|rumon]] as one upon encountering him in her storyline. [[Crowning Moment of Funny|The poor guy's response]] to this is ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44_S143Uu10#t=2m04s priceless.]''
