help from the anime peanut gallery

[cornerofmadness]

I'm looking for the punishment trope in anime, you know the one where the heroine is punishing the male lead in some ridiculous way that's not meant to be actually serious (yes, I'm trying to make a point but more on that later)

Like Winry and her wrench or Kaori Makimura and her bazkooka/hammer that she always used on Ryo (City Hunter for the younger crowd who doesn't know the classics).

I know there are others. Anyone know any examples? Thanks

Kamiya Kaoru, and her perpetual beating of Kenshin.

Akane and Ranma in Ranma 1/2

Lina Inverse beats up everybody in Slayers.

I was going to mention Kamiya Koaru with her shenai (and various other implements) of Kenshin (and other characters) whacking.

Kaname beating up Sousuke in Full Metal Panic.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Not quite punishment, but Kagura "showing her love" to poor Kyo in Fruits Basket. Also Izumi should be on the list, lol.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

this is also true thanks

In Inuyasha Kagome uses the Beads of Subjugation (kotodama no nenju) on the title character in which the trigger word (Sit Boy!/Osuwari!) causes the beads to light up and slam him face first into the ground.

Same series, Sango uses her giant Hiraikotsu to bash Miroku over the head when he gropes her.

In Full Metal Panic the main chick throws things at his head a lot (she's a softball player).

thank you thank you. Hey, what do you think of Full Metal panic

[enemytosleep]

I enjoyed FMP quite a bit. :D It balances extreme high school silliness with serious, badass mercenary/military stuff. Hard to describe, but here is some silly for you:

and some serious:

I think you'd enjoy it. Just keep in mind when watching that Fumoffu is a spin off of all high school silly stuff, best enjoyed after watching at least one regular season.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i know it's on the netflix list SOMEWHERE. I'm not too sure i'd like the Fumoffu

i usually like mecha stuff though lately i've gotten bored with it

[enemytosleep]

Hee I enjoyed it, but I enjoy those two together being silly.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i'll have to wait and see. fi nishing S2 of d.grayman then finishing Muishi since i got sidetracked

[wildrider.livejournal.com]

That's the one I was thinking of. "Sit, boy!"

And Watanuki is tormented in countless ways by Yuko.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i'd forgotten poor Watanuki. thanks

[wildrider.livejournal.com]

I still haven't seen all of that series, but he is just the most long-suffering fellow!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i haven't seen it all either (not a huge CLAMP fan) but yes he is. I think Ryo: CIty Hunter is one of the earliest hypermallet's i remember.

[wildrider.livejournal.com]

It's not one of my favorites, no, but it's a funny, silly story and Watanuki is a blast.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

true. I rather liked Yuko too

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Lum used to zap her boyfriend with lightning when he'd look at other girls. I can't remember HIS name, mind you.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

wiki will k now. thanks

In my fandoms there are:

Bleach: Ichigo - Who basically gets hit by everyone. Especially if he's in the way.
Kon: Who gets abused by everyone.

Naruto: Sakura - She has a habit of punching people who upset her. Mainly Naruto.

And for FMA, would Lan Fan/Ran Fan count? Everytime Ed insulted Ling she would go ballistic on him.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

it might. I forgot about Sakura. thanks

[anguisel.livejournal.com]

No prob. I'm trying to think of more but most of them are from video games.

I thought I saw it listed in your post or the comments but Sanzo and his paper fan or gun would be another.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yes I thought of Sanzo's fan (which is an excellent example) after i posted this

[marlex.livejournal.com]

Pokemon - Misty has a hyperspace mallet
Pokemon - Whenever Brock would go girl crazy, Misty would drag him away by his ear
Love Hina - Naru would super punch Keitaro anytime he he made her made, sending him flying into the air to disappear with a twinkle or bounce around like a pinball

thank you, that's very helpful
