Forceful Kiss

You are getting increasingly frustrated. Your Love Interest is ignoring your affections for him/her, even though you're making it oh so blatantly obvious. And you love him/her so much, so much that you can't stand it, that you wish he/she would stop ignoring you, and stop being so oblivious to your love for him/her. What do you gotta do?

Why, grab him/her, pull them close to you and plant a big wet one right on those lips that you've been dying to kiss for so long! And of course, you may not think about what possible consequences that your actions could bring you, since you are just too damn excited at being able to be so close to your love.

Note, engaging in this trope means that you may be a bit overly confident in your attempts to "woo" someone, you may have no idea how to actually do the whole romance thing, or you just couldn't help yourself, and you simply had to get your feelings across somehow.

Sometimes overlaps with "Shut Up" Kiss. It may also happen to a person who is the victim in a I Have You Now, My Pretty moment. Compare Victim Falls For Rapist. May or may not hint at an Attempted Rape.

Examples of Forceful Kiss include:

Anime & Manga

  • Overused in Hentai along with its sister trope "Shut Up" Kiss.
  • Near the beginning of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Dio Brando steals a kiss from Jonathon Joestar's girlfriend as part of his grand plan to humiliate him.
  • Shugo Chara, where famous Idol Singer Utau Hoshina forcefully kisses the mysterious cat-boy Ikuto Tsukuyomi, much to the shock and horror of Amu, Kukai and their Charas (to quote Ran, "It's an adult's world!"). And it becomes Squick once you realize how they are related: she's his sister...
    • And Ikuto himself is so displeased that he slaps her away.
  • Romeo gives Juliet one in Romeo X Juliet. Complete with romantic bridge setting and fireworks.

  • To keep Riku quiet so he won't be discovered Dark surprises her with a forceful kiss in an episode of D.N.Angel.

  • Soubi to Ritsuka in an episode of Loveless.
  • Done by Koizumi to Otani in Lovely Complex. And Otani does this to Koizumi when confessing to her.

    • Not that that's the only time that happened on Negi, nor the only reason. Evangeline once forced a kiss on Negi too, "as a fee for her advice. Asking favors from an evil mage always requires payment."
    • There also the part with the multiple fake Negi: One of them tries to forcefully kiss Yue, and explodes after she repels him.
      • In particular, "Nugi" makes a reappearance as a golem that Haruna made for the girls to practice their Pactio kisses on. Naturally, it doesn't go as planned, and Akira suffers for it.
    • There was also that whole "Wish made too close to the power-leaking world tree turns Negi into a kissing Determinator" incident, where Negi gave a Forceful Kiss to Asuna.
    • And then there's the multi-page Pactio by Negi to Chachamaru. Negi's Forceful Kisses break laws of magic!

    • The kiss that Yukki got from Tsubaki was like this, too.
  • Momo from Peach Girl has this happen to her by Kairi's brother Ryo. She manages to fight him off, before he can take it further, though. This is also Sae's favorite seduction tactic.

  • Sinbad has grabbed Kaitou Jeanne and kissed her at least twice. The first time, Jeanne was too shocked to do anything, but the second time she immediately shoved him away (then wondered where he went; maybe a rooftop wasn't the best place for that).
  • In Neon Genesis Evangelion, Asuka forcibly claims her first kiss from Shinji, holding his nose while their lips are locked so that he is about to pass out by the time she lets him go. Given that it's Evangelion, it's naturally a hugely unromantic moment and doesn't lead anywhere - if anything, it makes things worse later on.

  • Ryoki of Hot Gimmick loves to do this to his slave girlfriend Hatsumi.

  • In Strawberry Panic Yaya does this to Hikari at the end of episode 13. In the following episode when we see the scene again Hikari shoves Yaya to the floor when Yaya starts to grope her. An understandable reaction seeing as how Kaname had just tried to rape her before that.
