** In Season 4, Yami Yugi gets one of this from Jounouchi. After causing the temporary "death" (soul loss, long story) of regular Yugi, he gets a HeroicBSOD, until Jounouchi tells him to make him see sense, and punches him in the face. It works, though he still mopes about it a lot, he actually ''does'' something about it, too.

** [[Characters/YuGiOhSetoKaiba Seto Kaiba]] snaps Yugi out of despair when he is about to give up against Strings and his Slifer. In the manga, he even figures out that Slifer isn't "invincible" ''before'' Yugi, and tells him so (albeit without clear hints, which would probably be against the rules).
-> '''Kaiba:''' "Get up, Yugi! If a God stands in your way, knock God down!"

* In ''Manga/{{Strider}}'', after Kain finds out that, in his BrainwashedAndCrazy state, he killed his and Hiryu's friend Sheena in the middle of battle, he totally loses it and starts banging his head against the wall, screaming madly while [[MadnessMantra constantly repeating that he couldn't have done it]]. He starts bleeding from the head when Hiryu finally is able to stop and calm him down enough to explain that it was all the manipulation of an EvilCorp's MindControlDevice, and that they need to put an end to them.

* ''Manga/JujutsuKaisen'': While fighting Hanami, Yuji attempts to use Black Flash, only failing after [[UnstoppableRage his rage at Junpei's death and Megumi's injuries makes him lose his concentration]]. Todo interrupts the fight and slaps him, telling him to [[TameHisAnger not allow his rage to control him]], and that while he understands why Yuji might be angry, right now his anger is more of a [[RevengeBeforeReason burden]] than a [[ThePowerOfHate boon]]. After Todo slaps him again, Yuji declares that he's calmed down, and manages to successfully use [[CriticalHit Black Flash]] the second time around, [[MegatonPunch landing a devastating blow on Hanami]].

* ''Manga/{{Gintama}}'': The First Captain of the Shinsengumi, Okita, is stressed out over his sister's illness, causing him to give in to his feelings of jealousy and isolation to the point that he insists on going out into battle while in a state where he would only drag the others down. In reply, his old friend and commander, Kondo, punches him hard enough to send him flying while paraphrasing the page quote by telling Okita that he, Okita, and Hijikata are good friends to the point that once one strayed from the right path, the other two would straighten him out with a few slaps. He then tells Okita that if he were to stray from the right path, then Okita should slap him back into shape.

** During the [[RescueArc Farewell Shunsengumi arc]], after Gintoki and the Shinsengumi find [[spoiler:the [[EliteMooks Naraku]] surrounding a seemingly dead Kondo]], the Shinsengumi (and especially Hijikata) [[HeroicBSOD freeze in their tracks]]. As the Naraku mobilize to kill them all, Gintoki snaps them out of it by rallying them into action, essentially telling them not to die. For a brief moment Hijikata sees Kondo in Gintoki's place, after which he and the Shinsengumi start fighting again with renewed vigour.
--->'''Gintoki:''' It's not over yet! Don't you dare end it yourself! Look forward! Grip your swords! ''FIGHT, SHINSENGUMI!!!''

* ''Anime/AndroidKikaiderTheAnimation'': Towards the end of the series, Saburo/Hakaider, EvilCounterpart to Jiro/Kikaider, has spent an episode stomping up and down on Jiro's BerserkButton, [[spoiler:putting him in serious danger of warping his Gemini [[RestrainingBolt conscience circuit]] with all his violent emotions]]. Jiro's reluctant love interest, Mitsuko, brings him back to reality by bitch-slapping him back into his usual gentle self. It plays [[TheCoconutEffect exactly like slapping a human]], complete with the sound of flesh slapping flesh, despite the fact that it is long and repeatedly established that Jiro, even in human form, is MadeOfIron. The guy was freaking ''bullet-proof'' one episode ago!

** In Chapter 127, [[spoiler:Nanamine, with his manga having dropped to 19th out of 20 places, his online helpers having abandoned him and having fired Nakai for causing his helpera to leave]], begins to give up hope, his editor punches him twice, telling him that while he dislikes him, the one thing he admires about him is his determination to succeed, and that he can't give up on him because he's his editor. [[spoiler:Nanamine]] considers [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome suing his editor for assault and/or getting him fired]], but decides against it, as [[PragmaticVillainy if he did, he would essentially become a laughingstock of the manga community]].
