History GetAHoldOfYourselfMan / AnimeAndManga

** In episode 5 of ''Double-One'', Grayson attempts to do this to Randoll when he gets angry over Schumacher messing up his pace in races and tries to quit the final race. It didn't work. But then he participated in that race anyway.

* ''YuYuHakusho'': Keiko has a BSOD during Yusuke's fight with Toguro, imagining that the experience isn't happening, and that they are really back at school like normal. After the fight is over, she's still out, and, in a rush to wake her up, Yusuke slaps her repeatedly for half a minute, until she snaps out of it and knocks him to the floor.

* ''OnePiece'': In chapter 590, [[FishPerson Jinbei]] does this to Luffy in an attempt to shock him out of the [[HeroicBSOD Heroic BSOD]] which occurs due to [[spoiler:the death of Ace, both physically restraining him and verbally reminding him that he hasn't lost everything yet.]]

* ''DeathNote'': [[spoiler: Light Yagami himself]] delivering one to [[spoiler: L, while they are chained together,]] when the latter begins falling into depression and doubt about the Kira investigation. [[spoiler: L, while lying on the ground, responds with a kick to the face, and the two continue to argue it out, so it's not exactly a straight example.]]

* In the ''FreshPrettyCure'' [[TheMovie movie]], Cure Fresh has a minor HeroicBSOD when she finds out Usapyon, a doll she had when she was younger, was part of BigBad [=ToyMajin=], thus part of his resentment of the human race. Cure Berry has to slap her out of it to snap her back to her senses and save the toys.

* ''{{Mai-HiME}}'': Natsuki gives one to Mai in just as she's reliving [[spoiler:the tragedy that killed her mother and nearly did the same for her brother, for which Mai feels responsible]], and tries to get Mai to remember what she's fighting for.

* ''{{Mai-Otome}}'': Shizuru does this to get Nina to calm down when she goes hysterical after Sergey is reported missing, then follows with a CooldownHug.
* ''{{Mai-Otome Zwei}}'': In the final episode with Arika unable to use the power of the Blue Sky Sapphire after she and Mashiro fell out, Mashiro tells Arika to [[HitMeDammit slap her]]. Arika agrees, but only if Mashiro will slap her back. They do so, and then vow to do the same in the future if one of them gets stubborn.

* ''{{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.

* ''OnePiece'': In chapter 590, [[FishPerson Jimbei]] does this to Luffy in an attempt to shock him out of the [[HeroicBSOD Heroic BSOD]] which occurs due to [[spoiler:the death of Ace, both physically restraining him and verbally reminding him that he hasn't lost everything yet.]]

* ''AfroSamurai'': The title character's {{Sidekick}} Ninja Ninja does this regularly; a subversion is that [[spoiler: Ninja Ninja is imaginary, a symptom of the title character's inner turmoil. It is in losing Ninja Ninja that Afro does, in fact, get a hold of himself. Interestingly, both are voiced by Samuel L Jackson]].
* ''AiKora'': In the final volume, [[spoiler:Yukari delivers one to Maeda and tells him to fight for Sakurako after he thinks he's torpedoed any chance he has with her and [[HeroicBSOD slips into despair]].]]

* ''[[Anime/TheIdolmaster]]'': Hibiki gets slapped to get her out of her self-pity. The slapper? Her pet hamster.

* In ''{{Persona 4}} the Animation'' episode 2, Yu hauls off and punches Yosuke during the confrontation with Shadow Yosuke, at the same time as Yu's Persona Izanagi punches the giant Shadow. This may have been an accident - at least, Yu claims it was, with a hilariously deadpan "Sorry, wrong guy," - but it has the effect of snapping Yosuke out of the freakout brought on by his Shadow's HannibalLecture.

* ''BloodPlus'': Post-timeskip, [[CharacterDevelopment Kai]] tries to snap [[TheStoic David]] out of his Heroic BSOD. When Kai pours David's booze down the sink, he attacks him. His reaction? Punch him in the gut, then give a [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech lengthy speech]]

** Notable in that Kallen didn't want to slap Suzaku back into his senses or anything, but just wanted the satisfaction of [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown beating him to a pulp out]] of annoyance that he can't seem to make up his freaking mind about whether he's a good guy or a bad guy. And did so while wearing high heels and a ''fancy gown''.

* ''MahouSenseiNegima!'' Nodoka, of all people, does this to Yue after the latter nearly has a HeroicBSOD because she thinks she betrayed Nodoka by developing a crush on Negi. Notable in that it's pretty much the first time in the whole series that Nodoka has done ''anything'' violent.

* ''[=~D.Gray-Man~=]'': Lenalee does this to Allen in the anime, when Allen yells at her for stopping him from destroying and purifying an akuma.

* ''AiKora'': In the final volume, [[spoiler:Yukari delivers one to Maeda and tells him to fight for Sakurako after he thinks he's torpedoed any chance she has with her and [[HeroicBSOD slips into despair]].]]

* ''InuYasha'': The title character gives one of these to Miroku, after a hallucination makes him believe the [[CursedWithAwesome Wind Tunnel]] is swallowing him up.

** In Chapter 67, Fukuda, having learned that [[spoiler:Nakai told Aoki he would only draw for her if she became his girlfriend]], barges in on him, punches him in the face and accuses him of throwing away his own career. [[spoiler:Nakai]], however, [[CompletelyMissingThePoint fails to get the point]].

** {{Subverted}} in the second ''MacrossFrontier'' [[TheMovie Movie]], Michelle attempts to give one to Alto, both the statement and a slap, after [[spoiler: Sheryl and Ozma are apparently killed fleeing from Brera after the jailbreak,]] but Alto blocks it and asks what's wrong with being sad, but is also still determined to fight.

** Omega-Xis does a variation of this to stop Geo's panic attack in the second season of the ''MegaManStarForce'' anime. Being a head grafted onto Geo's arm, Mega has no hands to slap Geo with. He bites him instead.

* ''FutureGPXCyberFormula'': Happens a lot in the series. For example, in episode 35 of the TV series, Asuka gives one to Hayato when he goes hysterical over trying to destroy Asurada for making his friend Johji retire from Cyber Formula after the crash in the German race.

* ''AiKora'': [[spoiler:Yukari delivers one to Maeda, and tells him to fight for Sakurako, after he slips into {{Wangst}}]]

** She also applies a more traditional slap to Lelouch when he asked her for the [[{{IfYouKnowWhatIMean}} "comfort only a woman can provide"]] during his own HeroicBSOD. It worked, until [[PoisonousFriend Rolo]] showed up.

* ''[[{{ptitlegynukzwikxmd}} Ranma ½]]'': Ryōga performs a Get a Hold Of Yourself Man punch on Ranma when the latter is experiencing {{Heroic BSOD}} [[spoiler:due to Akane's supposed death.]] Not only does that ''not'' work, but Ryōga ends up having to physically carry him away to safety. And even after that, Ryōga's attempts to snap him out of it fall flat until they find out that [[spoiler:Akane's still alive.]]

* ''PeacemakerKurogane'': After Tetsunosuke nearly gets killed by Yoshida a second time, the man who killed his parents, he spends an episode or two holding hiding out in a closet freaking out and scratching at people who try to get him to come out. Susumu calls him out on his {{Wangst}}ing and gives him a GetAHoldOfYourselfMan speech, telling him that he's sick of Tetsunosuke's bullshit, and throws him a sword basically saying that if he can find the courage he should stick to his original goal of killing his parents murderer.
