Line 24:
*** Another one had [[Love Potion|female-Ranma]] cheerfully whacking Ryouga to the ground with it.
** Also, the "carving one's names on a tree, under an umbrella-shaped symbol" version is used several times, especially by Kuno (to Ranma's annoyance, [[When Trees Attack|especially when the tree took it seriously]],) but Genma and [[Hot Shounen Mom|Nodoka]] did this too when they were dating.
** The song "November Rain" from one of the albums is about a rather sad, subverted version of this trope. The entire reason why Ranma is singing the song is because he's heartbroken over his fiancée, Akane, ditching him under the umbrella they were sharing with each other. Since him hurting her feelings was what caused her to leave, he laments throughout the song over how [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold|he just can't seem to be tender with her]].
{{quote| '''Ranma:''' Even rain that's about to freeze from cold is warmer than my heart. November rain, until my tears vanish, don't stop.}}
* Keiko, a previously [[Flat Character|flat]] member of Nanami's [[Girl Posse]] in the Black Rose [[Story Arc]] of ''[[Revolutionary Girl Utena]]'', more or less becomes the [[Monster of the Week]] after Nanami catches Keiko under an umbrella with Touga and reacts by throwing Keiko out of the group. Turns out that Keiko does have a crush on Touga, but Nanami's simply a [[Clingy Jealous Girl]] with a [[Big Brother Attraction]]. And Mikage uses it against everyone, pushing the lonely and troubled Keiko into becoming a Black Rose duelist.
Line 36:
** ''Hakaima Sadamitsu'' has Yayoi/the Vulture using an old sketch in a wooden support beam to reveal her feelings to Sadamitsu. He's not amused when he finds it as the Vulture [[Laser-Guided Amnesia|erased his memories of their childhood together]] when it possessed her; therefore, he doesn't know what the heck is going on.
* Similarly, ''[[Candy Boy]]'' has a whole episode devoted to Kanade setting up for one of this for her and Yukino.
* ''[[Strawberry Panic (Light Novel)!|Strawberry Panic]]'' takes this trope to an absurd level--like most anything related to romance.
* ''[[Maria-samaMariasama ga Miteru]]'' has the episode "Holding a Parasol". It ends with a picture of Yumi and Sachiko sharing an umbrella under the sun.
* Hayate and Vita of ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'' share an umbrella under the sun in the [[Comic Book Adaptation|supplementary manga]]. And just to further drive up the [[Les Yay]] of the moment, Hayate gently caresses the blushing Vita while they talk about how it would be wonderful if they could be together always.
* Kyouka from ''[[Kyouran Kazoku Nikki]]'' is probably one of the few people to pull off the [[Together Umbrella]] ''indoors''.
* ''[[XXX HolicXxxHolic]]'' has a situation where Watanuki doesn't want to walk under one with Doumeki (whom he's an [[Unknown Rival]] of) because they're both guys and he has this trope in mind. This is just one of many [[Ho Yay]] moments between them. (It is a [[CLAMP]] manga after all...)
* In ''[[The Girl Who Leapt Through Time]]'', {{spoiler|Makoto, Chiaki, and Kōsuke are all sharing a red umbrella in a flashback. Chiaki loves Makoto, Mokoto loves Chiaki, and Kōsuke probably knows that Chiaki loves Mokoto but isn't interested in her himself.}} [[Bittersweet Ending|(although she doesn't realize it until it's too late.)]]
* Greece and Japan share an umbrella in ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]''. Also, Japan's partner Italy uses the umbrella symbol in a poster, drawing himself and Germany underneath it without really understanding what it means.
Line 51:
* Appears in ''[[Samurai Champloo]]'', when in one episode Jin's [[Girl of the Week]] ends up sharing her umbrella with him when he gets stuck in a heavy downpour without one.
** And it is somewhat implied that {{spoiler|he'll come back for her when her mandatory time on the island has ended}}, so there's hope for the "togetherness" part yet.
* In ''[[Five5 Centimeters Per Second]]'', the umbrella symbol shows up on a chalkboard with Akari and Takaki's names under it. When they see it, Akari looks embarassed while Takaki hastily erases it, implying that some other kids had drawn it.
* Played straight in the ''[[Fruits Basket]]'' anime, where we have a scene where Yuki offers his umbrella to Tohru on the way home from school, much to Kyo's dismay.
** Also played with in the manga, where Tohru offers her umbrella to Kyo, since (as the Cat) he's utterly miserable in the rain. He gets flustered and angry, [[Cannot Spit It Out|and turns her down]].
* ''[[Paranoia Agent]]'': Briefly glimpsed in Ikari's dream world, drawn on a door in a school.
* In the seventh episode of ''[[Pokémon (Animeanime)|Pokémon]]'', "The School of Hard Knocks", in the corner of Kaito's picture of Giselle, their names are written under the umbrella in kanji. 4Kids edited out the easter egg, obviously, because anything remotely Japanese or romantic is evil.
* Done once in a [[Inuyasha]] episode. Miroku's hat had broken and he was left in the rain. Kagomi gave Sango her spare umbrella and Sango shared the umbrella with Miroku.
* In the 10th ending credits to [[Naruto]] Shippudden ([[Beach Episode|the beach ending]]), we see at the end that Sakura and Sasuke's names are written under the umbrella symbol...only to be washed away by a passing wave. [[Ship-to-Ship Combat|Make of that what you will.]]
* When [[Hayate the Combat Butler (Manga)|Hayate the Combat Butler]] is kicked out of the Sanzenin mansion, and is left sitting in the falling snow, Hinagiku shields him with hers while they talk and invites him to warm up at her place.
* Keichii and Belldandy do this once in ''[[Ah! My Goddess (Manga)|Ah My Goddess]]''.
* Tsuda and Shino from ''[[Seitokai Yakuindomo]]'' walk home this way once. They're aware that they look like a couple doing that, and so is the school [[Camera Fiend]] not far behind them.
* [[School Rumble]] used this 3 times to ship Harima and Eri.
Line 68:
* Non-romantic (or [[Ship Tease|is]] [[Ho Yay|it]]?) example: ''[[Durarara]]'' has a flashback with [[Berserker]] Shizuo Heiwajima standing in the rain by the jail after being set up for a crime, feeling and looking completely alone. Off screen, we hear a voice calling his name. It's a very close friend he lost contact with, who then holds his umbrella up over Shizuo's head as they walk off together. This is the anime version of Tom's defining character moment, as he's been there for Shizuo ever since.
* In ''[[Sasami Magical Girls Club]]'', Anri fantasizes about sharing an umbrella [[Les Yay|with Tsukasa]].
* [[Wedding Peach (Anime)|Wedding Peach]]: The love angels think Yanagiba has a girlfriend because of this trope. Later when they try to stage it themselves, Yousuke comes (with an umbrella) [[Ho Yay|to pick him up instead.]]
* The intro of ''[[OkusamaOku-sama wa Mahou Shoujo (Anime)|Okusama wa Mahou Shoujo]]'' ends with almost but not quite showing Ureshiko and Kagura under one umbrella.
* Played with in [[Code Geass]] for {{spoiler|Lelouch and Shirley's}} [[First Kiss]]. While going to meet her, he sees her standing in the rain and tries to hold the umbrella over her, but a combination of the shocking thing she tells him plus his surprise when she embraces him causes him to drop the umbrella, so they end up kissing in the rain.
 
Line 81:
* ''[[Little Women]]'': Jo and Professor Bhaer have their [[Relationship Upgrade]] and [[First Kiss]] under his umbrella during a muddy downpour.
** In [[The Musical]], it doesn't happen ''quite'' so - Bhaer finds Jo at Amy's wedding, on a day riddled with 'sun showers.' He proposes to her with the analogy of sharing a "[[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|small umbrella in the rain]]."
* Anne Shirley is offered shelter under a handsome stranger's umbrella in ''[[Anne of Green Gables (Literature)|Anne of the Island]]'', although the romance doesn't last.
* A ''platonic'' [[Together Umbrella]] (according to [[Shipping|most]]) is conjured by Tris for her and Sandry in the ''[[Circle of Magic]]'' series.
* You can actually ''hear'' Captain Wentworth's heart break in ''[[Persuasion]]'' when he offers to walk Anne home in the rain with his umbrella, and the for-once-oblivious heroine innocently says she already has an escort!
Line 88:
== Live Action TV ==
 
* ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]'' featured one of Isaac's precognitive paintings (used above) featuring Simone and Peter apparently embracing under an umbrella, which Isaac took to be a sign of their relationship. {{spoiler|He's right.}}
* ''[[The X -Files]]'' frequently made use of this trope. Comically so, on occasion--David Duchovny has quite a bit of height on Gillian Anderson. Definite [[Ship Tease]].
* Used straight-up for courtship in an episode of ''[[The Commish]]''. A police officer is advised to take his [[Girl of the Week]] to the park. When we see them there it's raining, only it's not a problem as they're both having a picnic under a pair of joined umbrellas.
* Damon and Elena, in an episode of ''[[The Vampire Diaries]]''.
Line 114:
::The main characters continue to share an umbrella even on sunny days, leading others to stare "as if we were both quite insane".
* The song ''Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic'' by The Police plays with this; the singer has a crush on a girl he knows, but [[Cannot Spit It Out]]. As he says in the song, ''"It's a big enough umbrella / But its always me that ends up getting wet!"'' (He gives his umbrella to the girl, instead of sharing it.)
* French folk singer [[Georges Brassens (Music)|Georges Brassens]] had a song called ''Un P'tit Coin d'Parapluie'' ("a little piece of umbrella") about a boy who shares his umbrella with a girl, and whose chorus went: "A little piece of umbrella/For a piece of heaven/She sure looked like an angel".
* The Japanese song ''Ai Ai Gasa'' from TegoMass.
* The Hebrew song "Two of Us Together Under One Umbrella" ("Shneinu Yahad Tahat Mitria Ahat") by Naomi Shemer. The refrain, roughly translated:
Line 124:
== Video Games ==
 
* ''[[Rival Schools (Video Game)|Rival Schools]]: United By Fate'' features this moment in Kyoko's ending as her to-be fiancee Hideo offers her an umbrella.
* In ''[[Video Game/Legend Of Zelda Skyward Sword|Legend Of Zelda Skyward Sword]]'', look close at the blackboard in the classroom -- there's one of those Japanese umbrella diagrams. Alas, it's too low-res to make out the names.
