{{quote|''"It's a complex maneuver. Don't ask me to demonstrate it."''
|'''Tedd''' on "[http://www.egscomics.com/?date{{=}}2005-01-28 Tackle Cuddle]", ''[[El Goonish Shive]]''}}
While aggressive hugs are nothing new (in [[Real Life]] or in media) the use of the term "Glomp" to describe them appears to have stemmed from its use as a sound effect in early manga translations by [[Viz Media]]. (One folk etymology asserts that it stands for ''"Grab, Latch On, Maintain Pressure"'' but that is a backronym applied to the word after it became popular.) The word itself appears to be a mutation of the established English word "glom" which means "to grab; to latch on" (as found in the words "agglomeration" and "conglomerate") with a final "p" sound added to give it more of a sense of definite action. Can function as an onomatopoeia.
The glomp may also be used in a more positive manner if the glompee actually does reciprocate the glomper's feelings; in these cases a glomp symbolizes one character literally bowling another over with affection, but there again it's typically played for comedy.
Whole-team glomping of anyone who's just scored a goal is also common in sports in [[Real Life]]. (In soccer, it seems to be compulsory.)
Line 15 ⟶ 16:
A glomper is often the [[Cuddle Bug]]. See also [[No Sense of Personal Space]], which glompers often exhibit. If the glomper is frightened, its a [[Security Cling]]. If the glomper is genuinely ''[[Personal Space Invader|attacking]],'' its a [[Deadly Lunge]].

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* The earliest reported usages of the word "glomp" are as sound effects in the Viz translations of ''[[Urusei Yatsura]]'' and ''[[Ranma ½
** The first known appearance of the word "glomp" is in ''[[Ranma ½]]'' Volume One, Part 12 published in 1993. Ironically, this first use was a sound effect for a [[Personal Space Invader]] attack Ranma delivered on Ryoga, in stark contrast to the connotation the word carries today.
** In ''[[Urusei Yatsura]]'' Ataru usually attempts to glomp virtually every female he
** The aggressive hugs that Shampoo gives to Ranma in ''[[Ranma ½
*** Even less welcome are Kuno's glompings of Akane and the Pigtailed Girl, sometimes simultaneously. He invariably receives a [[Megaton Punch]] in reply.
*** Shampoo also brainwashes Akane into glomping Ryoga during the "waterproof soap" episode in the manga, leading the poor guy to believe she reciprocates his [[Stalker with a Crush|strong romantic feelings]] for her. He then starts [[And Call Him George|openly expressing those feelings]] even though he [[Does Not Know His Own Strength]]. By the time it's blown over, Akane has decided that that "Whoever takes the job of Ryoga's girlfriend will have to be made of sterner stuff than me."
Line 30 ⟶ 31:
* Randou Rino of ''[[Best Student Council]]'' frequently glomps her friend Ayumu, usually while emitting [[Ocular Gushers]].
* Asuka Langley Soryuu of ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' is not nearly as violent about it as some, but the way she adheres herself to Ryoji Kaji is clearly a glomp.
** She does actually glomp him in episode 17, much to his exasperation.
* Shiho Munakata frequently glomps Yuuichi Tate in the early parts of ''[[
** In the ''[[Mai-Otome]]'' manga, Natsuki often gets this from her younger sister, Alyssa, and once gets it from her mother, Saeko.
* C-Ko Kotobuki is known to glomp A-Ko Magami on occasion in ''[[Project A-ko]]''.
* Kairi has glomped Momo on occasion, as has Sae to Toji and other guys as well in ''[[Peach Girl]]''.
* Sei Satou (the first "''Rosa Gigantea''") from ''[[Mariasama ga Miteru]]'' is fond of
** Youko, Sachiko's ''grande sœur'', once does this too, very much to Yumi's surprise since Youko is usually rather dignified.
* Wakaba glomps the title character of ''[[Revolutionary Girl Utena]]'' all the time, and frequently goes for rides on her back after.
** It can get dangerous when they're both in front of an open window.
* ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series]]'': "Can I glomp you?"
* Kaolla Su in ''[[Love Hina]]'' does this frequently, usually in the form of a leaping hug.
* Many girls in Rin's [[Harem]] in ''[[
* The aim of many of Ayu's [[Crash Into Hello]] meetings with Yuuichi in ''[[Kanon]]''.
** She gets irritable (as much as she can, anyway) if he dodges. Probably because that generally involves her crashing into trees instead.
Line 48 ⟶ 49:
** During the Johto arc, when Ash and Misty were battling over a Totodile, Ash sends out Pikachu; Misty sends out Togepi. She tells Togepi to give Pikachu a great big hug, and he does just that. Between that and a Charm attack, Pikachu is sent running off the battlefield, since he wouldn't willingly hurt Togepi.
** James' Grass-type Pokemon glomp him upon being let out of their Poke Balls. One of them's [[Human Pincushion|a cactus]].
* In ''[[Death Note]]'' Misa glomps Light after he specifically told her that it would be dangerous and inconvenient for them to be seen together. However, her [[Poisonous Friend|intense]] [[Mad Love|feelings]] mean she cannot stay away from him so she follows him and practically tackles him to the ground. Light thinks, "This is the first time I've felt like punching a girl". Later on, she does something similar to ''Ryuk.'' Do we have a [[Did You Just Index Cthulhu|Did You Just Glomp Cthulhu]] trope?
* In ''[[Bleach]]'' Kon tries to glomp Rukia (and every other female character) every time he sees her (usually shouting Onee-chaan!!! and variation), he never manages to do it though.
** Except that one time where he was in Ichigo's body and he finally pulled off snuggling her ([[Pettanko|non-existent]]) funbags. He was very happy that day.
Line 55 ⟶ 56:
** Keigo also tries to glomp Rangiku because he thinks she's sexy, but she simply [[Crowning Moment of Funny|puts up her fist and hits him before he can]].
* ''[[Ojamajo Doremi]]'' glomps her fellow witchlings in the closing credits of the first series. (In the dub, this was shown in the ''opening''.)
** Hana-chan does this to Doremi in the first episode of ''Dokkan''
* [[Sissy Villain]] Michio Yuki of ''[[MW]]'' does this quite a bit to Father Garai. Usually while in various states of undress or [[Villainous Crossdresser|drag]].
* In ''[[Pita-Ten]],'' Misha ''loves'' to glomp Kotarou. Since she is at least one head taller than him, the sensation is uncomfortable to Kotarou, the nearby ones and the spectators...
* In ''[[Ai Yori Aoshi]]'', Mayu ends up doing this almost every episode. Tina tends to [[Skinship Grope|grope any female she meets]], and has, like Mayu, a tendency to glomp Kaoru. Being rivals, their respective glomping tends to enrage the other.
* Chii does this at least once to Hideki in ''[[Chobits]]''. Sumomo/Plum does it as well, despite being under a foot tall.
** Chii's glomps are more a kin to the flying tackle though.
** And Plum's previous owner encouraged this (and many other) behaviors Hideki has issues with. Persocoms in general are as unconditionally affectionate as housepets; their (usual) extreme sensitivity to their owner's preferences and comfort levels are the only reason we don't see more generalized public glomping.
* Happens frequently to Tenchi in all the various incarnations of ''[[Tenchi Muyo!]]''. Ryoko is the most common, but hardly the only, practitioner of this technique upon him.
Line 67 ⟶ 68:
* Ai from ''[[Video Girl Ai]]'' likes to do this to catch Youta's attention. When he continues to ignore her, she repeats the technique with her [[Fan Service|bare chest]], with the [[Nosebleed|expected result]].
* ''[[Busou Renkin]]'': "Don't touch me!" [[The Ditz|"I WANNA TOUCH!"]]
** This one probably shouldn't count, given that the one shouting "I WANNA TOUCH!" was being [[Mind Control]]led to immobilize the other girl.
* Dio from ''[[Last Exile]]'' is exceedingly fond of this. Not only will he glomp his faithful companion Luciola, he also has a thing for glomping Claus who is pretty freaked out.
* Marumaro from ''[[Blue Dragon]]'' glomps Kluke at least once.
* Iris does this to Gene in ''[[Outlaw Star]]''. Gene happily reciprocates, though...by [[Handsome Lech|immediately grabbing her ass.]]
** Fred loves doing this to Gene. Really loves it.
* In ''[[Tales of Symphonia]]'''s OVA, the second episode starts with [[Victorious Childhood Friend|Colette]] glomping [[The Hero|Lloyd Irving]]. It is to be noted that he runs towards her, and just before the glomp takes place, he moves himself to hug her.
* In ''[[
** On various occasions Saito was also glomped by Kirche, Siesta, Tiffania, Scarron, and Marto, the school's head [[Even the Guys Want Him|male cook]].
* [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|Enacted under similar circumstances]] in the second season of ''[[Shakugan no Shana]]'' by [[Expy|expies]] Shana and Yuji: once to intercept Yuji's fall following his possession at high altitude by Johann, and again in the final episode when she finds him after singlehandedly [[Storming the Castle|storming]] [[The Very Definitely Final Dungeon]] in order to do so before he fades from existence.
* In ''[[Claymore]]'', [[Cute Shotaro Boy|Raki]] does this fairly regular to the [[Kuudere]], Clare

** In its [[Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle|crossover series,]] Sakura is introduced as a character by glomping Syaoran.
* In the third episode of ''[[Kannagi]]'' [[Magical Girlfriend|Nagi]] attempts to do this to [[Unlucky Everydude|Jin]]... [[Averted Trope|And he sidesteps it, causing Nagi to skid face-first across the ground]].
Line 82 ⟶ 84:
* In ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]] StrikerS'' [[All There in the Manual|Sound Stage X]], Subaru's reaction to Teana upon reuniting with her after [[Time Skip|being separated for a year and a half]] due to joining different divisions [[media:nanoha-subaru-having-a-gay-old-time-with-teana.jpg|was this]]. Good grief, [[Memetic Mutation|rainbows]] ''[[Memetic Mutation|are]]'' [[Les Yay|straighter than Subaru]].
** Vivio latches onto Nanoha's legs during an episode of ''StrikerS'', [[Cute but Cacophonic|strenuously objecting]] to Nanoha going to work. [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|It's actually quite adorable]].
* ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]'': Glomping is Tessa's favorite method to use when trying to seduce Sousuke.
* A [[Running Gag]] in ''[[One Piece]]'' revolves around [[Chivalrous Pervert|Sanji's]] failed attempts to glomp the sexy ladies, which usually ends with him flying face-first into a wall. Chopper on the other hand successfully glomps people whenever he gets scared or otherwise emotional.
** A more specific and adorable example: After the Straw Hats almost lose Robin in Enies Lobby, when they are back on the Merry together, Nami and Chopper glomp Robin.
Line 92 ⟶ 94:
** Chapter 498 has an absolutely adorable/heartwarming moment where {{spoiler|Naruto suddenly surprises his mother with a hug and cries while hugging her upon meeting her for the first time}}.
* In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'', Mana does this to the pharaoh after jumping out of a vase.
* In the second season of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX (anime)|Yu-Gi-Oh GX]]'' Judai's [[Big Fun]] former roomate Hayato gives Judai a ''big'' hug when he sees him, having been gone since last season after graduating.
* Hikaru from ''[[Kimagure Orange Road]]''.
* In ''[[Clannad (visual novel)|Clannad]]'', Kyou performs this manoeuvre on a very shy Kotomi (as seen in the picture), who has obvious difficulties deciding how to respond.

* In the ''[[Hamlet]]'' manga adaptation, the title character does this to Horatio.

* Memorably, in ''[[Saiunkoku Monogatari]]'', Kou Shuurei's [[Fear of Thunder]] causes her to glomp onto - of all people - Ko Kijin. To make matters worse, Shuurei is disguised as a boy at the time.
* Choco from ''[[Chocotto Sister]]'' does this a lot to
* A scene from ''[[D.Gray-man]]'' has Lavi glomping Allen. Road is also fond of doing this to Allen.
** Lenalee glomps Cross Marian at the end of the [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Ark Arc]] in order to keep him from wandering off again after spending roughly forty episodes looking for him. [[Fridge Brilliance|In fact this is the very reason she was brought along.]]
** And in chapter 211, Johnny [https://web.archive.org/web/20141226180700/http://www.mangatoyou.com/D.Gray-Man/211/05/ tackle-hugs Allen] with tears in his eyes.

** Elizabeth generally loves to glomp Ciel, being his future wife and all.
* [[Hot as Hell|Hild]], the [[Affably Evil]] queen of hell from ''[[Ah! My Goddess]]'' preforms three glomps in a row immediately after arriving on earth in her very first appearance, first glomping her daughter Urd, then Belldandy and Skuld at the same time and finally Keiichi.
* In ''[[Tokyo Babylon]]'', [[Genki Girl|Hokuto]] does this to her [[Half-Identical Twins|twin brother]], [[The Messiah|Subaru]].
* In ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]'', Ed gets glomped a few times by Alexander the dog, when he and Al go to Dr. Marco's house to study alchemy. It's hard for a dog to hug someone, so in Ed's case it was more like [[Death From Above]], as Alexander's shadow was the last thing he saw before the giant dog ever-so-lovingly crushed him underneath.
** Near the conclusion of the series, Winry does this [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|very effectively]] to {{spoiler|Ed and Al in his restored human body when they return to Resembool}}.
** Alphonse does this to Edward in ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (anime)|Fullmetal Alchemist: Conqueror of Shamballa]]''. While ''in the armor''. He even ''nuzzles'' him!

* Noelle from ''[[Tenshi ni Narumon]]'' loves doing this to Yuusuke to an almost frightening degree. Also, Raphael to Mikael.
* In ''[[The World God Only Knows]]'', Elsie is prone to this, to the discomfort of [[Hates Being Touched|Keima]] and [[Punchy Love|Hakua]].
* ''[[Fairy Tail]]'' has one of the more [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|heartwarming]] examples when Lisanna returns to Earthland after 2 years and finally meets Natsu again. She can't help but glomp him, understandable enough.
* Episode 9 of ''[[Lovely Complex]]'' has some [[Les Yay]] between Risa and her best friend Nobu. Nobu comforts Risa over Otani basically being oblivious to Risa's love for him, and feels it's her fault things aren't going so well because she's the one who pushed Risa to confess to Otani. Risa reassures her not to worry about it, and that's she's grateful to Nobu for motivating her to confess her love to Otani. In response, Nobu makes the total out of the blue decision to glomp Risa to the ground, and grope her as she's hugging her. Nobu releases lots of heart marks and Risa freaks out, telling Nobu "don't touch me there!"
* Italy once does this to Japan in ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]''. And in episode 18 of the World Series Finland glomps Estonia.

* You can bet a lot of [[Voice Actors]] are victims of this at anime conventions. There is a clip of [[Vic Mignogna]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6gngbvC14U getting glomped by several girls at once!]▼
** [[Travis Willingham]] has been known to tell [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aABILfDUFw a story] where someone tried to glomp him at his first con and he, not understanding what was about to happen, put his shoulder out like a football player trying to get through a tackle (the man is built like a linebacker, to boot). Suffice to say, he doesn't get glomped very often anymore.▼
* A fan once did this to [[Greg Ayres]] at the top of a flight of stairs while his back was turned, causing both to tumble down the stairs. Is it any wonder cons are cracking down on these?▼
* A convention related one, during an episode of Voiceprint with Trevor Devall and guests interviewing [[Scott McNeil]], Soctt admitted to being afraid of that term and all, for him once having being glomped and did something painful to his back at the time, so I don't think more needs to be said some voice Actors may be a tad cautious around the word Glomp itself.▼

* Done by Arya to Jon in the second episode of ''[[Game of Thrones]]'' after he gives her a sword. This is done to demonstrate that of all the Stark siblings she had the closest relationship with Jon, despite only a brief few seconds onscreen together the previous episode, a plot point that the show was unable to go into for reasons to time.

* In ''[[Zone of the Enders]]: Fist of Mars'', The female lead character, Myona Alderan, achieves a most excessive glomp (even by glomp standards) by glomping the male lead, Cage Midwell, from a distance of over 30 meters, from one 'mech to another, in the middle of a battle being held high above the ground!
* Hilariously, [[Kirby]] gets a good glomp in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]] Brawl'' thanks to King Dedede spearing him from behind, affectionately patting him on the head, then dragging him off. Kirby looks utterly confused the entire time, even as he leaves a tiny skidmark from Dedede hauling him off.
* [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] gets glomped by Amy. Or at least he would be if Amy wasn't color blind. She can't seem to tell the difference between blue Sonic, black and red Shadow, and white colored Silver.

* An example appears in ''[[WITCH (animation)|WITCH]]'', in the episode "T is for Trauma". Eric receives a glomp from Hay Lin after complimenting her new braces.

* ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'':
** Zuko gets a [[Luminescent Blush]] when Toph does this to him in the [[Grand Finale]]. You'd think he'd be used to getting that from girls by now...
** [[Cloudcuckoolander|Ty Lee]] makes a habit of this, and of course [[Kuudere|Mai]] is her most common target.
* Bob from ''[[
** This is marvelously parodied in season three. By this time Enzo has grown up into a huge muscle-bound man and is attacked in this way by another child. At first you think he is about to receive a taste of his own medicine, only for the boy to bounce harmlessly off of his enormous chest.
** And then again later in the same season. After {{spoiler|realizing his search is over and he's finally found Bob, he rushes forward as if to tackle him like old times. Bob ''very'' quickly stops him, saying, "I think you're a little too big for that."}}

* Sierra from ''[[Total Drama World Tour]]'' does this a lot to Cody.
* Jessie from ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]]'' loves this trope. In "Toy Story 2," she glomps Woody upon first meeting him - one of many things that causes Woody to become "officially freaked out" in that scene. Jessie glomps Woody again at the end of the movie {{spoiler|after she and Woody have successfully escaped from the plane and landed safely behind Buzz on Bulleye's back.}} In "Toy Story 3," Jessie glomps Buzz after he {{spoiler|rescues her in the trash compactor, gets crushed under a falling TV, and, just when everyone thinks he's dead, turns out to be not only alive but restored to his normal self.}}

* In the episode "Curse of the Kobra (Part II)" of ''[[Batman Beyond]]'', Terry rescues his best friend Max from the Cobra cult and she's so glad to see him that she gives him a very cute glomp... which is ruined seconds later as he breaks free because he had four cracked ribs from trying to save her the first time.

▲** [[Travis Willingham]] has been known to tell [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aABILfDUFw a story] where someone tried to glomp him at his first con and he, not understanding what was about to happen, put his shoulder out like a football player trying to get through a tackle (the man is built like a linebacker, to boot). Suffice to say, he doesn't get glomped very often anymore.
