12	{{Groin Attack}}s in AnimeAndManga.
13	----
14
15	!!Played for Comedy
16
17	* A rare female example in the ''Abashiri Family'' OVA (created by Creator/GoNagai), when Kikunosuke was fighting Mademoiselle Honey (Anime/CuteyHoney's predecessor), [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNZqpIMP1pg&feature=related she kicked Kiku in the crotch]] (at 8:20 of the clip), and from the way Kiku reacted it must've hurt.
18	* In volume 2 of ''Anime/AirGear'', Ikki is spying pervily on Simca while she finishes her shift in the skate shop. Mikan then decides to interrupt this with [[http://www.mangareader.net/137-7512-3/air-gear/chapter-7.html a solid boot to the family jewels]] (and in the manga, they even make a sound like metal being hit). Predictably, he then engages in a bout of silent screaming.
19	** And then, the series takes it up to eleven...with a water bottle.
20	* In episode 4 of ''Manga/BakiTheGrappler'', when Baki is fighting (and losing) against The Beast of Yasha Crag, he tries a groin kick against the ape, which he finds to be effective. He then continues to kick the creature repeatedly in the genitals as hard as he can until it finally throws him away.
21	* The second episode of ''Manga/Bastard1988'' had a ninja master named Gara infiltrate the castle of where the protagonists were currently staying from. Upon entering into the room of where both Luche and Yoko were sleeping in, Gara is quite surprised to see that Yoko is able to detect his presence and that he decides to introduce himself to her in an instant, but Gara is immediately cut short of his own introduction speech when Yoko throws a quick back mule kick to his groin from within an unexpected and surprising manner.
22	* In ''Manga/{{Beelzebub}}'', Oga, the main character, is surrounded by some of his high school's strongest brawlers, who challenge him for carrying a baby on his back (the baby in question? The son of the devil, sent to earth to learn to be evil from the most evil human alive, Oga, while he grows up, but they aren't to know that.) Oga's response? The first two that attack him both get an instant punch to the groin as he walks past them. In a later chapter, when a policeman threatens Oga with the law, then turns around, Oga kicks him in the crotch hard enough to lift the policeman up.
23	* Rather gruesome but still rather funny: Guts of ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'' [[spoiler:uses his sword to perform the [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/berserk/images/3/31/GutsWyaldTongue.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/340?cb=20150227013326 ultimate cock-block on the Apostle Wyald]] as he's preparing to rape Casca]]. This moment of [[LaserGuidedKarma poetic justice]] is as satisfying as it is [[Awesome/{{Berserk}} awesome]].
24	-->'''Guts:''' [[spoiler:''Don't be popping a boner on top of my head!'']]
25	* In ''Manga/BioMeatNectar'', Maaya executes one against a school bully in the beginning of the manga. "As far as I'm concerned... YOUR DICK IS REVOKED!!"
26	* ''Manga/BlackLagoon'':
27	** ActionGirl Fabiola does this to a thug during her first visit to the Yellow Flag...with a blade built into the heel of her shoe. OUCH.
28	** Surviving this and other painful hits is what marks Rotton the Wizard as MadeOfIron. More exactly, he may be a LoveFreak of sorts but he was smart enough to use protection... there. Good thing, too, as he faced someone strong enough to ''dent'' said protection (namely, Roberta in full AxCrazy mode during the ''El Baile de la Muerte'' arc), but at least it did its job.
29	* Played for comedy and as an actual make-shift attack in manga ''Manga/BlazerDrive''. After finding the character known as Beast impervious to harm, main character Daichi swiftly slides his body between Beast's legs, facing up at Beast, who can only watch in terror as Daichi lifts his sneaker-clad foot and slams it, sole-first, into Beast's unfortunate groin. Beast then berates Daichi, saying that - as a hero in a shounen manga, he shouldn't be launching such dirty attacks. Daichi counters by pointing out Beast had requested he attack with everything he had, also making note of the reason for his attack's target - "That part is not hardened as well."
30	* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'':
31	** Kon in Ichigo's body gets one from Rukia, with him lying on the floor, apologizing to Ichigo for having it so that Ichigo won't be able to have kids anymore.
32	** Played straight in the anime, where Ganju Shiba does the "lift his legs, repeatedly stomp" variant to Ichigo during their second fight after they meet again.
33	** Tessai used this particular maneuver to punish Jinta for slacking off (or was that Jinta imagining how Tessai would punish him?). In the anime at least it absolutely happened as Jinta's flashback only occurs ''after'' Ururu reminds him of it.
34	** After rescuing Orihime from Grimmjow, she asks Ichigo if she's too heavy[[note]]he's got her slung over his shoulder[[/note]] and he tells her "You're not as heavy as I figured". In response to this, [[http://www.cuppajoescoffee.com/manga/bleach.html?ch=Volume+32&page=153 Nel punches Ichigo in the crotch]] for being rude to Orihime.
35	** Anime episode 207. Lieutenant Hiyori Sarugaki of Squad 12 tries to knee the squad's new captain Kisuke Urahara in the groin because she's seriously annoyed by his personality. Unfortunately it ends up backfiring on her: he wears some kind of hard protection (or else just has BallsOfSteel) under his clothing and ''she'' ends up being the one in pain, hurting her knee. She later tries to do it again but stops at the last moment, recalling what happened the first time.
36	** Anime episode 226. Captain Soifon tries to hit her annoying lieutenant Marechiyo Ōmaeda in the face but he blocks the blow and taunts her. She then hits him in the 'nads.
37	* In the opening of ''Literature/BludgeoningAngelDokuroChan'', Dokuro is seen gleefully [[http://i48.tinypic.com/2myqo85.jpg grinding the main character's crotch into mush]] with a large spiked club.
38	* In the H-Manga ''Blue Eyes'' the main character Tatsuya orders a dog to sic on a would-be-rapist. The dog goes for the obvious weak spot.
39	* Priss Asagiri knees an uncooperative ADP crowd control trooper in the groin when he refuses to let her pass so that she could slap a boomer in Episode 2, ''Born to Kill'' of the original ''Anime/BubblegumCrisis''.
40	* The eighth episode of ''[[Anime/BurnUp Burn Up Excess]]'' had a giant Rio dealing with a giant male transvestite as the two of them were battling in the city from within a ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion''-like parody battle. Near the end of the fight, Rio ends up delivering a devastating back mule kick to the guy's own groin and you can't help but feel sorry for him, since Rio (a trained martial artist) struck him with a ''sharp'' high-heel shoe and that you could hear the direct ''SickeningCrunch'' of the man's own crotch (complete with an x-ray that shows the entire pelvis cracking itself). It's safe to say that it's gonna be a long time before the guy is able to recover from such a strike.
41	* In ''Literature/{{Campione}}'', Godou acts as a baseball catcher and takes a baseball to the groin.
42	* In New Testament Vol. 1 of ''Literature/ACertainMagicalIndex'', Touma makes a BigDamnHeroes rescue at the end when everyone thought he was dead. Once the bad guys have been defeated, he starts to explain what happened to him... when Leivinia Birdway suddenly sneaks up on him and kicks him in the groin, calling him a moron.
43	* ''Manga/ChainsawMan'':
44	** In chapter 3 when Aki Hayakawa tries to scare Denji away from joining the agency for superficial reasons by attacking him, Denji retaliates by repeatedly kicking him in the balls. The first hit lands him on the ground, with the subsequent ones in anger. Once they return, battered and bruised, to Makima, [[BlatantLies Denji tells her that Aki got attacked by a "Testicle Devil"]], which Aki flatly calls out as a lie.
45	--->'''Denji:''' Thought you were full of it when you said you "wasted kindness" on me... But you ''are'' nice! 'Cause when ''I''... fight a ''dude''...! It's ''nuts! OR! '''NOTHING!'''''
46	** Later on, [[spoiler:Denji and Aki have a "Groin Kicking Contest" on the defeated Katana Man to see who can make him cry out the loudest before the police show up]].
47	* ''Manga/Change123'':
48	** PlayedWith in Chapter 29, Kosukegawa is bitten in the crotch by a viper and passes out. Panicked Tsukishima, Fujiko and Hino [[UndressingTheUnconscious strip off his shorts]] in order to SuckOutThePoison... but then they notice he doesn't have any bite marks on his manhood, as the viper actually completely missed him due to his [[TeenyWeenie small size]] only managing to bite his shorts, and Kosukegawa only passed out from the shock. He wakes up moments later, pantless with all three girls staring at commenting on his TeenyWeenie and has a massive NakedFreakOut.
49	** A quite gruesome (but still funny) example. While fighting [[ActionGirl Hibiki]], a yakuza member has his junk sliced down the middle with a katana. Hibiki is convinced to apologize to him in the hospital, but the gang member responds with threats and abuse. So Hibiki [[TheTease flashes him,]] which just makes the damage worse.
50	* It's Megumi's favorite FinishingMove in ''Manga/CheekyAngel''. It's also how she "introduced" herself to Genzo.
51	* Episode 14 of the original ''Manga/CityHunter'' had Saeko kidnapped by members of a local gang who's abducting beautiful young women. In her prison cell, Saeko gains the attention of a nearby guard and upon distracting him through the use of her sweet talk, Saeko kicks him in the groin, managing to get the cell keys from him while playfully apologizing about her deceptive kick.
52	** At the beginning of the original series' Episode 43, the GirlOfTheWeek, Utako Yumeno, knees a man in the groin from inside a train after he had suddenly bumped into her and accidentally looked down her shirt.
53	** In the manga a punk once tried to kick Ryo there. Ryo immediately hardened his GagPenis, breaking the punk's foot.
54	* In one episode of ''Anime/CrayonShinChan'', Shin's little sister Himawari has just had a cup of juice and wants more, but her mother Misae won't give it to her. Desperate and determined, she tries with all her baby might to reach and open the refrigerator, where her beloved juice awaits. After she utterly fails and exhausts herself, Shin-chan comes in from playing, sets up a chair in front of the fridge, and helps himself to the juice. An enraged Hima ''charges him like an angry bull'', and headbutts him in the crotch with enough force to send him ''flying out the door.''
55	* ''Manga/CuteyHoney'':
56	** In episode 14 at one point when Honey chases after Sister Jill she accidentally steps on Danbei Hayama’s groin as he laid on the floor having been knocked out earlier.
57	** In episode 22 while being chased by Danbei’s big ape of a nephew Naojiro who intends to rape her, Honey whacks him in the groin with a baseball bat.
58	* Tsukamoto from ''Manga/{{DAYS}}'' gets hit in the crotch with a soccer ball in episode 1.
59	* ''Literature/DirtyPair'':
60	** In the 9th episode of the anime, after a giant mook picks Kei up and holds her in a lock, she gets free by kneeing him in the groin.
61	** The first episode of the ''Dirty Pair Flash'' OVA series has Yuri kicking a leading police officer in the groin after he begins to harass her about an item that she had gotten from a recently deceased man. It's safe to say that his teammates aren't too pleased to see this; they eventually go after Yuri, who somehow gets Kei involved in [[ChaseScene the chase]] as well.
62	* In the beginning of the manga ''Manga/DoctorSlump'', Arale punches inventor Norimaki Senbei (her father, or better said, her creator), nearly caving his nuts in!
63	-->'''Senbei''': A LITTLE MEANS A LITTLE AND NOT WITH FULL POWER!
64	* Hikari Domina, female protagonist of ''Manga/DominaNoDo'', routinely strikes her [[ArrangedMarriage parentally chosen spouse]] Takeshi Tsuchie in the nuts when she's angry with him -- which, since she's a {{Tsundere}} who [[FetishizedAbuser believes that all male/female romance is based on femdom/malesub dynamics]], is a ''lot'', and it's always presented as being comedic, under the usual rule that [[DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale girls hitting guys is funny]]. Ironically, Hikari ends up on the receiving end of a GroinAttack herself twice. One time, in a story involving her getting a set of magical, fully-functional male genitalia attached, she gets struck in the balls with a baseball bat. In another story, after her FilleFatale little sister Akari tells her that what guys feel when hit in the balls is what girls feel when they pinch their clitorises with hairclips, [[SchmuckBait Hikari does this to herself to see what all the fuss is about]]... her HowlOfSorrow can be heard through the mansion. [[EpiphanyTherapy These two incidents make her stop hitting Takeshi below the belt]]... but they don't stop the general abuse.
65	* ''Manga/DrStone'':
66	** In preparation for the Grand Bout, Chrome trains in combat, but since he's got no talent for it he focuses entirely on striking below the belt. In this case he has extra motivation since his main opponent is JerkJock Magma, who's made it clear that he's willing to let the priestess Ruri die, if he doesn't just kill her himself (and [[ChildhoodFriendRomance Chrome has been in love with Ruri since they were kids]]). During their actual fight, Chrome uses Suika's vision-correcting helmet (plus his literal sweat and tears) to make a SolarPoweredMagnifyingGlass to light Magma's clothes on fire, then "mercifully" put him out with a groin attack that knocks him into the lake.
67	** In a later match, Ginro misinterprets a comment Ruri makes and goes full scumbag, trying to win the tournament so he can marry her and become chief. Senku, who has even less combat ability than Chrome, turns his staff into an impromptu lever using Suika's helmet that was still left in the ring from the Chrome vs. Magma bout, and nails Ginro in the soft-and-danglies.
68	** Later in the story Chrome is captured by Tsukasa's Empire of Might but manages to pull off a jailbreak. The jailer Yo chases him down, but Chrome psyches him out with fake blood and [[YouDontWantToCatchThis lies about having pneumonia]]. While Yo is recoiling in fear, Chrome hits him between the legs with a bamboo pole and escapes.
69	* ''Franchise/DragonBall'':
70	** In ''Anime/DragonBallZKai'' episode 65, Android 18 does a knee to the 'nads to ''Vegeta'', likely her [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome CWA]]. Better yet, she does it once he's running out of energy, which means that it's not really necessary (not to mention she's already much stronger than him anyway). She just wants to [[BreakTheHaughty humiliate]] him with it.
71	** ''Anime/DragonBallGT'' features the rare Double Groin Attack, where the main character kicks one groin while elbowing the other. Superb technique.
72	** One of the actual ''Z'' movies, ''Anime/DragonBallZSuperAndroid13'', further proved its effectiveness: after Android powers up to his super form, Goku and Piccolo go for the usual rapid punches and kicks assault: Piccolo ends up knocked away in some unremarkable way, but Goku isn't quite as lucky. Android 13 [[https://imgur.com/gallery/FJxGCSt counters him by grabbing his high kick with one arm and punching him in the crotch with the other hard enough to cause him to fall down and out of Super Saiyan mode immediately]].
73	*** Note, this was so brutal some versions of the movie censor Goku's testicular torture with a flash of light.
74	** A moment so good it was mocked efficiently by Creator/TeamFourStar, in ''Anime/DragonBallZTheReturnOfCooler'', [[https://i.imgur.com/FCBnqKg.gif Vegeta gets a nasty one in the nuts from Metal Cooler]].
75	--->'''Vegeta:''' He ''keeps'' kicking me in the dick! ''Why?!'' Why does he keep kicking me in the dick?
76	** Garlic Jr. [[https://youtu.be/wnQQ8TZoXk0?t=188 gets one]] in the first movie courtesy of Piccolo.
77	** The original ''Manga/DragonBall'' series! [[ButtMonkey Yamcha]] was unlucky enough to get an especially painful one during the World Tournament. And from Shen [[spoiler:aka Kami possessing a random passerby's body and making him a BadassNormal for a while]] nevertheless. Poor, poor Yamcha. Normally groin attacks are grounds for immediate disqualification in the Tenkaichi Budokai, but the judges ruled it was an accident (Yamcha went for a jump kick, Shen ducked, and groin hit head) so Shen was allowed to continue fighting, although only after Yamcha was given enough time to recover. Similarly, there was no 10-count on Yamcha because it's a groin attack.
78	** This happened to Mister Satan once as well (filler). He landed crotch-first on something pointy... ouch.
79	** It also happened to Gohan in the ''Dragon Ball Z'' Episode 251: The Old Kai's Weapon, thanks to Super Buu after he absorbed Gotenks and Piccolo.
80	** Arale headbutts General Blue in the groin in ''Dragon Ball''.
81	*** A gender-inverted one happened to Chi-Chi in ''Dragon Ball''. Although it doesn't appear painful, while Goku and Chi-Chi (as kids) were flying on the nimbus, Goku (lightly) [[CrotchGrabSexCheck kicked her in the groin to see if she was a boy or a girl]]. Chi-Chi then pushed him off of the nimbus as a result.
82	** In ''Anime/DragonBallZResurrectionF'' at one point during their fight after he has reached his ultimate form Frieza flips Goku over and knees him in the groin.
83	** ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'':
84	*** When Tagoma boasts that being Freeza's sparring partner for four months has made his body harder than steel and sophisticated attacks have no effect on him... and Gotenks promptly headbutts him right in the Dragon Balls (likely the one place Freeza did not attack him in those four months), for devastating effect. Muten Roshi promptly states it wasn't a sophisticated attack.
85	*** Goku kicks Jiren in the groin to get a slight advantage.
86	*** In the [[Manga/DragonBallSuper manga version]] of their fight, Toppo managed to defeat Goku this way by [[https://i.redd.it/3k1277ttoyt31.png kicking him below the belt]] and knocking him away from the arena.
87	*** In episode 89 Yurin kicks [[DirtyOldMan Muten Roshi]] in the groin for looking up her skirt after he knocked her on her back.
88	* In episode 15 of ''Anime/DragonQuestLegendOfTheHeroAbel'' AKA ''VideoGame/DragonQuestI'' - Yuusha Abel Densetsu, Mokomoko (also known as just Moko), the rotund, hairy barbarian, falls from a great height, and he lands groin-first into the open jaws of a sea creature, with its fangs pressing against his crotch. There is a funny [[UnSoundEffect 'boing' sound]], and he flails his arms around with a pained expression.
89	* The StalkerWithACrush in ''Anime/ElCazadorDeLaBruja'' get his groin ''psychically set on fire.'' This being L.A and done by his beloved Ellis, it only causes him to ''laugh'' and seem to be enjoying it.
90	* In one episode of ''Anime/EurekaSeven'', Renton and a drunk Talho are making their way back to the ship when they're attacked by a gang intending on raping Talho. They are then rescued by Holland who beats up the gang and holds the leader who was on top of Talho by his nostrils. Talho then takes the opportunity to kick him in the groin as he's pulled off her.
91	* ''Manga/FairyTail'': Lucy had been captured and is being held in the [[OminousFloatingCastle Sky Prision]]. After the Phantom Guild's master, Jose, is finished taunting her, she says that she has to go to the restroom; Jose, actually being pretty [[BondVillainStupidity smart]] doesn't fall for it. Instead, he simply points to a bucket that was sitting in the cell and says "Go ahead." thinking she wouldn't degrade herself in such a manner, being the daughter of one of the richest families in the world. She proves him wrong and, much to Jose's surprise, goes to use the bucket. Jose, being a "gentleman" turns around so as not to watch and Lucy takes advantage of this and delivers a swift kick to his nuts and bolts.
92	* ''Literature/FullMetalPanic'': Sōsuke is a CombatPragmatist who was RaisedByWolves; therefore, he doesn't get why people are so touchy when he uses the perfectly valid tactic of whaling on someone's soft-and-danglies.
93	** In ''[[Anime/FullMetalPanicFumoffu Fumoffu]]'', we get to see him pound a karate club member's endowment into pudding, as well as ''[[KickThemWhileTheyAreDown repeatedly]]'' stomping a thug's family jewels... [[ItMakesSenseInContext while wearing a theme park mascot costume]].
94	** He even does this against mecha, as seen when he shoots the Behemoth between the legs. In this case though, it's justified, since that's where the thing's cooling system was located and Sōsuke was trying to force its [[BlackBox Lambda Driver]] to overheat and shut down.
95	** Gauron threatened to shoot John Dunnigan in the crotch. Why? Because Dunnigan got angry at him for [[HeyYou calling him in an overly familiar fashion by his first name]] and told him not to do it. Yeah, Gauron's a real {{Jerkass}}. One wonders why, if Sōsuke is so fond of executing [[GroinAttack Groin Attacks]], he doesn't do one to Gauron. Maybe because Gauron would [[TooKinkyToTorture like it]].
96	* [[{{Tsundere}} Louise]] of ''Literature/TheFamiliarOfZero'' has been known to attack Saito's groin when she gets jealous or angry at him. Someone made a Demotivator poster of one of these occurrences, with the caption, "Telling your girlfriend she has small boobs comes at a price."
97	* Attempted in the Creator/RumikoTakahashi short film ''Fire Tripper''; when Shukumaru takes a glance at Suzuko while she is bathing, she grabs a large rock and chucks it Shukumaru, landing inches away from his goods.
98	* ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'':
99	** Kenshiro once kicked a guy in the nuts [[https://youtu.be/w0DFcmbLJVY?t=63 so hard]] he flew so high to become ATwinkleInTheSky. OUCH.
100	** He also [[https://youtu.be/xul39X2rMGc?t=58 knees another guy]] so vigorously that his head, naturally, [[YourHeadASplode explodes]].
101	* ''Anime/{{FLCL}}'' episode 6 "[=FLCLimax=]". In the manga style sequence Haruko kicks Naota in the crotch.
102	* Happens most unexpectedly in Chapter 41 of the ''Manga/GaRei'' manga when Kensuke goes to check on Yomi, and quickly regrets it.
103	* ''Manga/GetBackers'': Sweet little blind violinist Madoka Otowa does this to one of the guys who are holding her Stradivarius captive. In the dark. It's mostly off screen, as we only see her smiling brightly, then the guy hopping up and down in pain, but still...
104	* ''Manga/{{Gintama}}'' has plenty of these. Gintoki falls victim to them the most, which might be related to the fact that the title of the manga is partly named after him and is only a letter off from being the Japanese word for the abused body part in question.
105	** One of the "tricks" Kagura teaches Sadaharu for a pet show has him knock Gintoki and Shinpachi down, then stomp on their groins. Repeatedly. While cheering him on.
106	** Domestic Violence, the signature move of the ''[[SelfParody Gintaman]]'' manga's titular character, is one of these taken up to eleven.
107	--> '''Gintoki (narrating)''': With 16 hits per second, his crotch [[ShoutOut is]] [[Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar already]] [[YouAreAlreadyDead damaged]].
108	** Gintoki actually gets his balls ''knocked off'' by a particularly brutal one during his bout in the Shikigami tag-team death match. They then proceed to get abused even further when Doman and Seimei decide to have them battle by taking control of them and ramming into each other before they finally end up getting crushed into a bloody pulp by Gedomaru in response to him asking her to make it stop. His balls even got individual names.
109	* While it's not exactly a crotch, in ''Anime/TheGirlWhoLeaptThroughSpace'', the living space colony Leopard reacts just the same as everybody else when Akiha accidentally bangs her spaceship into the spot where he needs his two [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything Golden Orbs]] placed so he can fire his WaveMotionGun.
110	* A flashback scene in ''Anime/GlassFleet'' shows then-teenaged Cleo resorting to grabbing and ''squeezing'' in order to win a fight with another boy. Previously, [[ActionGirl Eimer]] also used the standard groin kick to stave off AttemptedRape at the hands of a group of prisoners, but that wasn't played for as much comedy.
111	* Turns up again and again in ''Gu-Gu Ganmo''. The main character Hanpeita's sister kicks him in the crotch to wake him up every morning [[HilarityEnsues (one episode revolves around his attempts to get her to stop)]]. The methods get gradually harsher as the series progresses, starting with "denki anma" (applying pressure and vibration to the groin to cause discomfort) and progressing to elbowing, stomping, and a succession of full-force kicks. Hanpeita and others fall on their crotches with some freqency, and at one point Hanpeita has a running hairdryer and a hot towel shoved down his pants in the space of two minutes. Ganmo is shown to be immune to groin attacks, but hitting his comb produces similar results.
112	* ''Manga/GTOTheEarlyYears'':
113	** When Eikichi attempts to grope Mariko's ass underwater, a stingray bites his penis.[[note]][[ArtisticLicenseBiology Real stingrays' mouths are not capable of biting humans.]][[/note]]
114	** Eikichi kicks Takezawa and Mitsuya in the crotch when fighting to save Shinomi from the Idaten.
115	** Shinomi kicks Eikichi in the junk sometimes, when he's being especially lecherous.
116	* In ''Anime/GundamBuildFightersTry'', Sekai's CoolBigSis Mirai ends up in a Gunpla race against an arrogant pop singer who claims the right to take her on a date if he wins. After he destroys her main Gunpla (the Mamagguy), the Petitgguy "baby" on its back activates as a back-up unit. When the singer moves in to attack, Mirai chooses this moment to reveal that [[IKnowKungFu she took lessons in Jigen Haoh martial arts]] (the style Sekai practices) and nails the guy's Anime/TurnAGundam in the crotch ''with a freaking {{Shoryuken}}'', which makes its groin-mounted cockpit explode in a beam of light. Not only does the singer go [[ColorFailure white with shock]], but [[ShareTheMalePain so does every man who saw it happen]]. The use of the Turn A as the victim also serves as a MythologyGag, since ''Turn A''[='s=] protagonist Loran took a few hits to the family jewels himself, most famously jumping from one airplane to another ''in mid-air'' and landing groin-first on the fuselage.
117	* In the manga ''Gushing Over Magical Girls'', [[spoiler: Magia Baiser stakes Azul spread-eagle on the ground and starts stamping hard on her crotch while hopped up on dark magic in chapter 35.]]
118	* In Season 4 Episode 3 of ''Manga/{{Haikyuu}}'', this happens to the main character [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvSI-D35GKo Hinata]] while he's working as a ball boy at the Shiratorizawa training camp. He gets distracted while he's praised for catching a ball perfectly (something he has been practicing to improve his actual receives later) and gets hit in the groin by a ball while he's still giving a thumbs up to the guy who praised him. His fellow camp attendants [[ShareTheMalePain look on in various amounts of horror and sympathy.]]
119	* ''Hanjuku Ninpouchou'' features the occasional groin kick up until Volume 5 when Miyuki begins whaling on Raita's balls seemingly every other page.
120	* Bel in ''Anime/HareGuu'' delivers one to Asio after he points out her lack of attentiveness. When she attempted it later Asio blocked it.
121	* Sakuya of ''Manga/HayateTheCombatButler'' stomped Hayate in the nuts repeatedly, except '''rapidly''' like operating a jackhammer.
122	* The perverted Tomoki receives a few in ''Manga/HeavensLostProperty''.
123	* ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'': In the first episode of the World Series Canada and America play catch and one of the balls America throws hits Canada... there. Since America has SuperStrength... OUCH!
124	* ''Manga/HunterXHunter'' had a secondary female character who could MindControl people after kissing them. The scene where she demonstrates her ability has her kissing a prospect partner, then making him lay on the floor and have her pressing her ([[CombatStiletto heeled]]) foot to his crotch. ''Repeatedly''. As the guy ''begs for more'' and she lets out a shrieking NoblewomansLaugh.
125	--> '''Kurapika''' [''touching his lips'']: Whew... I was lucky she didn't choose me.
126	* In ''Anime/IxionSagaDT'', Kon is smart enough to stop Erec with a Dragon horned toe boot wearing foot to the groin. The damage to one of his testicles was so severe the doctor was forced to remove it. Their next encounter has Kon smashing his groin once more, this time with a '''ROCKET HAMMER''', costing him his other one!
127	* ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable''. During his fight with Josuke, Okuyasu reveals his Stand, The Hand, and its ability to erase anything on its path. That [[DumbMuscle Okuyasu]] mainly uses to erase the space between him and his target so he can bring them closer and punch them in the face. Josuke turns this against him by tricking Okuyasu into erasing the space between him and a wall, causing three potted plants perched on the wall to fly off directly at him. The first one hits him right in the face, the second one in the throat and the last one goes straight to his 'nads. He's knocked out immediately.
128	* ''Manga/KekkoKamen''
129	** Inverted rather humorously: instead of an attack TO the groin, Kekko Kamen's finisher, the "Open Thighs Jump", involves an attack WITH the groin, as Kekko Kamen presses her nether-regions against an enemy's face to finish them off [[DistractedByTheSexy while they're distracted by her nakedness]].
130	** Played straight once, as Kekko Kamen's opponent was a woman who countered the Open Thighs Jump with a chop right there.
131	* In an early episode of ''Literature/KokoroConnect'', [[FreakyFridayFlip Taichi (in Yui's body)]][[note]]As a bonus, Yui is one of the most powerful characters in the show, so her kick is particularly potent.[[/note]] delivers one to Yui (in Taichi's body). Then they switch back. [[ChekhovsSkill This gets revisited in the finale]], when [[spoiler:[[BigDamnHeroes everyone goes to rescue Inaba]], and she defeats one of the thugs this way]].
132	* As it's a series with JapaneseDelinquents as the protagonists and most of the cast, groin attack appear rather often in ''Manga/KyouKaraOreWa''. The most epic one was the one Mitsuhashi used to defeat ''a bear'', [[spoiler:without ever being told it was actually a man in a suit trying to scare him off]].
133	* ''Franchise/LupinIII'':
134	** [[Manga/LupinIII The manga volumes]] include a chapter where Lupin "teaches" a young woman to defend herself from attack by slapping her hands together on top of the... male sex symbol. (The manga's replacement for genitalia)
135	** In episode 10 of ''Anime/LupinIIIPart1'', when Flinch aims a second kick at Lupin, he catches it and kicks Flinch in the crotch.
136	** In ''Anime/LupinIIIPartII'', he has used this tactic to escape from a large police officer who had him in a hold.
137	* A story in the second volume of ''Manga/MaboroshiPanty'' has Maboroshi Panty at one point attack the villain Waki by biting his prehensile penis.
138	* An unfortunate case of a doctor getting this treatment occurs in ''Manga/{{Magikano}}''.
139	* Episode 26 of ''Manga/{{MAR}}'' had Jack winning his rematch against Pano through the use of some hallucinatory toadstools that made Pano see Jack as being some sort of handsome guy. When the effects had wore off, Pano was less than pleased about Jack manipulating her normal senses and she ends up kicking him in the family jewels, much to Jack's dismay and to his own teammates' embarrassment.
140	* [[TheHeart Maylu]] actually kicks [[TheIdiotFromOsaka Tora]] in the crotch when he harasses her in ''Manga/MegaManNTWarrior2001'', causing him to fall to the ground in pain. Could've been better, though...
141	* In the first episode of ''Mezzo DSA'', Mikura kicks a {{Mook}} in the crotch with a clean kick. The visual metaphor of two gold balls shattering to dust is seen before the poor sap goes flying through a wall.
142	* ''Manga/MidoriDays'':
143	** In chapters 55-56 of the manga, Seiji enters a female wrestling competition in hopes of winning one million yen. He and another contender named "Helter Skelter" make it to the final match, but "Helter Skelter" [[spoiler: aka his sister Rin]] knows his true identity and immediately begins to disarm him with repeated kicks to the crotch, prompting some rather amusing commentary from the emcee.
144	--->'''Emcee:''' Good thing this is women! If she was a man, she'd be dead by now!
145	** While losing consciousness, Seiji manages to pull off a ''CrossCounter'', knocking "Helter Skelter" out and winning the match. But while leaving the ring, "Helter Skelter" also leaves with a loose thread from Seiji's pants. ''HilarityEnsues'', especially when Seiji tries using his right hand to cover himself. Needless to say, he was disqualified.
146	* ''Manga/MyBrideIsAMermaid'':
147	** Lunar's usual way of "punishing" Nagasumi is by kicking or otherwise hitting him in the nads.
148	** Another example would be when Nagasumi grew [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever giant after taking a mermaid drink]] and rampaged around without MagicPants, one method of attack used against him was crashing a submarine out of the ground and RAMMING the tip into his...well, you can guess where this is going.
149	* ''Manga/MyFirstGirlfriendIsAGal'': [[spoiler:Episode 10 of the anime shows Ranko Honjou kicking Dai Mitarai's balls when the latter tries to plead mercy, claiming that those who toy with women have no right to have them.]]
150	* ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'': Midoriya was just being nice when he greeted himself to young Kota in the start of the Training Camp arc. Kota promptly answered his greeting with a full-force low blow, earning admonishment from Iida. This is played both ways: the attack is initially played for comedy but is later revealed have drama elements as well, as Kota has issues with heroes. Kota does later apologize for this through a hand-written note, however.
151	* While they're [[TakeOurWordForIt never seen on-screen]], Shuri's favorite move to use on Sana and her brother Shusuke in ''Anime/MyselfYourself'' involves holding them up by the legs and ''stomping'' where it hurts. ''Ouch''.
152	* ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'':
153	** An early chapter has Setsuna attempt a variant of this which is too horrible to describe, especially since she does it in a {{furo\|Scene}}...to her ten-year-old teacher. And they're both naked. Cue BlankWhiteEyes. At least she had the excuse of not knowing that it was him and being scared off when he got in the bath.
154	-->'''Setsuna''': Eh... um... this... I mean... well, to aim for a vital spot is basic theory and... ''I'M SORRY SENSEI!''
155	** There's also Haruna's [[ToThePain imagined punishment]] for her (female) friends for keeping up TheMasquerade against her; she illustrates it to them with manga pages involving them hanging upside down, panties exposed.. and Haruna has a whip and a good sense of where to aim... immediate genuflection follows.
156	** Setsuna herself is subjected to one over 200 chapters later, courtesy of Evangeline. [[http://www.japannewbie.com/2007/05/15/denki-anma-attack/ Also see]] [[http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=denki%20anma here]].
157	* In episode 22 of ''Anime/NekojiruGekijou'', Nyako kicks a fish in the crotch while Nyatta smacks him across the head with a plank after he hits them.
158	* In ''Manga/NozomuNozomi'' the recently gender bent but still hiding it protagonist takes a line drive to the crotch while playing baseball and discovers that it does indeed hurt to get nailed in your girl parts and the usual techniques boys use to deal with the pain either don't work or would give away too much. It's more worrisome when Nozomu's best friend Yasu playfully mimes an "electric breaker" wrestling move (with more of a squish than an actual stomp) while they are roughhousing and notices Nozomu's crotch doesn't feel right underfoot. He almost uncovers Nozomu's secret before another teammate distracts him.
159	* This is how the alarm clock in ''Anime/OkusamaWaMahouShoujo'' wakes Kagura up early in the series.
160	* ''Manga/OnePiece'':
161	** During Luffy's first fight with Buggy the Clown, [[https://youtu.be/MzBCydtStWA?t=26 while Buggy's upper-body is busy chasing Nami, Luffy kicks Buggy's lower half in the groin]], prompting Buggy to lament what a cheap shot that was. Only minutes before, Luffy had stopped Buggy from interrupting in Zoro's fight with Cabaji. Apparently, holding someone still so that your subordinate can finish them off is cheap, but a nut shot isn't... Then again, IAmYourOpponent seems to be [[CombatPragmatist the only rule of fighting that Luffy cares about]].
162	** And if you thought that was incredibly painful for Buggy, it gets worse as in the [[{{Filler}} Boss-Luffy Specials]] Buggy [[https://youtu.be/tUQQXK9rg2c?t=233 gets a kick to the crotch from Sanji]] who [[BareFistedMonk for reference can smash buildings down and break steel]] ''[[ExtremityExtremist with his feet]]'', no wonder poor Buggy just stops fighting altogether after that.
163	** Later on, [[https://youtu.be/crKAn5iJQmw?t=62 Nico Robin performs a long-distance groin-grab on Franky]] in order to recruit him to the crew. Everyone else, men, women and children, react to this with appropriate horror. To quote a random female bystander, "I feel sorry for him...but he's still a pervert." What makes it even funnier is while she makes this attack, There's a sequences of repeated reactions with people saying something like "She's got him by the-" and then there's an insert shot of a piece of fruit.
164	** When Kalifa exploits Sanji's [[WouldntHitAGirl unwillingness to attack her]] and [[https://media.giphy.com/media/qaU4KAD261xvy/giphy.gif kicks him right in the crotch]].
165	** Emporio Ivankov actually '''heals''' Mr. 2 Bon Clay through a groin attack. He was injecting his "Emporio Energy Hormones" and aimed a little higher than intended...
166	** Nami delivers a kick to [[InvisibleJerkass Absalom]]'s crotch when he accosts her while she's bathing successfully stunning him, it's PlayedForLaughs in the anime but is actually kinda disturbing in context since Nami was [[AttemptedRape naked and pinned against a wall]].
167	** Apis, while trying to escape from the Marines who kidnapped her, accidentally kicks a soldier in the crotch. The poor guy stood absolutely motionless after that.
168	** During the Alabasta arc in the final battle Nami does this to poor Usopp who gets hit with both a stick and an explosion to blast Chopper and Vivi to the top of a clock tower where a giant [[NuclearWeaponsTaboo city buster bomb]] is located.
169	** Even Luffy is not free from this, [[spoiler:as seen in Whole Cake Island when Sanji acting as a FakeDefector is giving Luffy a beatdown and one of his aforementioned kicks [[http://i.imgur.com/83jtV2u.png lands a bit low]]. RubberMan Luffy may be, Sanji’s [[PlayingWithFire foot was on fire]] so judging by Luffy’s WideBlankEyes and puffed out cheeks that groin kick hurt like hell]]. Obviously the fight itself is PlayedForDrama and a TearJerker, but if you look at it from Buggy’s perspective and [[LaserGuidedKarma you’ll see humour]].
170	** Holdem, a subordinate of Kaido in Wano, has eaten a SMILE devil fruit which has made a Lion's head and arms grow out of his torso. The lion has mind of its own, and when the man and the lion disagree the latter tends [[https://youtu.be/fmK082W_5ZY?t=21 to hit the former’s balls]] in a fit of anger; nevermind the fact he that since they share the same body the lion is hurt as well.
171	** Also in Wano [[SarcasmMode beautiful]] kunoichi Shinobu has a SignatureAttack '''[[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTM_0C8FF7SvoI9STzvXz-crm8tNmoAbNZ6Sw&usqp=CAU Ninja Arts: Ball Crusher]]'''... it’s quite effective.
172	** When asked directly in an SBS why everyone doesn't just use groin attacks if they're so effective against male opponents, Oda simply replied that the idea of battles between mighty and stoic opponents trying to kick each other in the balls is completely stupid, so that's why they're only used for jokes.
173	--->''"Just imagine legends among men--Whitebeard, Shanks, Mihawk--staring each other down, bearing their weighty ideals...and trying to whack each other in the balls! '''IS THAT THE KIND OF MANGA YOU WANT TO READ?!'''''"
174	* Pictured above: ''Webcomic/OnePunchMan'' has Saitama ''accidentally'' hit [[SuperSpeed Sonic the ninja]] when he tries to attack the bald protagonist with a windmill kick. Saitama's response is to hold his fist up in the direction of Sonic's groin and say "Checkmate." Unfortunately he didn't account for Sonic's momentum, leading to [[ButtMonkey the poor ninja]] running crotch-first into Saitama's fist and Saitama apologizing. The comic cuts to Sonic sweating buckets with pinprick eyes, followed by a [[RelaxOVision panel of a lovely mountain valley]] with the caption "[[WeAreExperiencingTechnicalDifficulties Please wait a moment]]." Note that if [[WorldsStrongestMan Saitama]] ''actually'' punched Sonic, he would have died [[LudicrousGibs horribly]]. The anime keeps the scene, [[https://youtu.be/9Fvn2Dat-L0?t=121 in all its glory.]] [[spoiler:You can see Sonic's bulge ''shift'' in a way that [[ShareTheMalePain tends to induce sympathy pain]].]]
175	* In episode 6 of ''Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt'', an underground explosion causes fire to spray out of all the toilets and urinals in the school, burning everybody who was using them.
176	* ''Manga/PocketMonsters'' has a truly horrible variation. Red makes a comment about "balls" which causes Blue to check his pants, thinking he's talking about Pokeballs. He pulls his testicles, though it's in a goofy way that fits the DerangedAnimation of the series (it comes out very long and stringy). This, obviously, causes Red much pain.
177	* Enta in ''Manga/PocketMonstersEmeraldChallengeBattleFrontier'' accidentally headbutts Mitsuki in the groin when he bows to him.
178	* ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'':
179	** In "The Double Trouble Header," Casey's Ratatta hits James in the groin.
180	** In one Johto episode, when Ash sends Bayleef to Professor Oak's lab, [[ClingyJealousgirl Bayleef]] panics and runs around, and she eventually rams into Oak's groin.
181	** In one Sinnoh episode, when Brock flirts with Nurse Joy, Croagunk poison jabs Brock in the groin.
182	* ''Animation/{{Pucca}}''
183	** In the episode "Four Alarm Fire", Garu rescues Ring Ring from a burning building, only to find Pucca at the bottom of the stairs. In a fit of jealousy, [[https://youtu.be/kcF70qYqL4M?t=253 Pucca sends Garu flying into a tree, landing straight on his balls.]] Garu then IMMEDIATELY faints from the pain.
184	** Then, at the end of the episode, [[https://youtu.be/kcF70qYqL4M?t=399 it cuts back to Garu, who never recovered from the egg scrambling Pucca made his balls feel, who proceeds to kiss him]]
185	* Almost to the end of the second episode of ''Puchim@s'', Afu runs toward Mr. Producer, leaps up... the top of her head slamming into his crotch. Immediately, his legs wobble and buckle before he falls down on his knees.
186	* Several transgendered variants show up in ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'':
187	** The standard GroinAttack was used, albeit unwittingly, exactly once: Ranma's ankles are tied to Akane and Shampoo's, respectively when they try running down separate corridors. Ranma, stuck in the middle, is pulled straight into the the corner (though he hits his head and his torso at the same time).
188	** In episode 38, angry that Genma landed in his panty collection, Happosai responds by kicking him in the groin and knocking him unconscious with a blow to the head.
189	** In episode 104 Sasuke attempts to abduct Ranma while he's in female form when he's sleeping. He starts to tie up his arms when suddenly his leg shoots up and knees Sasuke in the groin.
190	** In episode 140, when Ryoga defends Akane from Happosai's six devils and they gang up on him, the centaur one headbutts him in the crotch.
191	* Probably the most effective attack [[FauxActionGirl Elie]] lands in ''Manga/RaveMaster''
192	* The ''Manga/Reborn2004'' anime uses this in the second episode for cheap laughs. Apparently Tsuna failing at playing volleyball then suddenly doing well wasn't entertaining enough: he had to start playing volleyball with his groin. And so, Reborn is an asshole as usual.
193	* ''Literature/TheRisingOfTheShieldHero'': Motoyasu finds himself on the receiving end of a good kick to the crotch from Filo for making fun of her. Next time he sees her in her human form and (not knowing it's her) refers to her as a "fat bird". She quickly changes forms and kicks him on the crotch once more (and we learn he was wearing some metal plates down there for protection). Naofumi then orders her to do that every time they see him, which she gladly accepts.
194	* ''Manga/RoosterFighter'': Elizabeth temporarily fixes Keiji's ExtremeLibido by kicking him where it hurts.
195	* One ''Manga/RurouniKenshin'' filler episode had [[KidSamurai Yahiko]] attack half of the GoldfishPoopGang in this manner, using a DiscretionShot of something else and the appropriate sound effects to imply what happened... and then repeating it again, [[OverlyLongGag three times, in slow motion]], each time with a different visual metaphor.
196	** In fact, Yahiko invented a technique in the Jinchu arc called "Kamiya Kasshin Ryuu: Curse on the Descendants" which is essentially a flying sidekick to the groin.
197	** He bit a guy in the groin in the manga. In the same chapter in which he was introduced.
198	** Episode 17 of the Anime series had the GirlOfTheWeek Marimo kicking the episode villain's henchman in the groin from behind as she and Yahiko were confronted by them while making their way back to the circus show. It's no surprise that the henchman was hopping up and down in excruciating pain while holding his crotch after Marimo's surprising kick and that both Yahiko and the villain were quite surprised to see such an event transpire.
199	** At one point in the manga, Yahiko isn't watching where he is going... and walks headfirst into Sanosuke's groin. ItMakesSenseInContext: Yahiko is really short, and by contrast Sanosuke is the tallest of the group.
200	* ''Anime/SamuraiChamploo'':
201	** In the first episode, Fuu kicks a random guard in the groin while he was distracted by Fuu's pet flying squirrel, Momo.
202	** Mugen gets one of these when he comes on too strong to an female undercover ninja (to be fair, she was undercover as a prostitute). This backfires, as after he crumples to the floor he gets back up and declares that he likes a girl with spirit.
203	** In the last episode, Mugen is holding the bad guy in this weird upside-down wrestling hold, and if you look close, he's also [[ManBitesMan biting him]] in the crotch. Call it badass or {{Squick}}, but remember that Mugen is at heart a CombatPragmatist.
204	* ''Anime/SamuraiFlamenco'' has Flamenco Diamond of the Flamenco Girls utilize groin kicks and stomps when it comes to fighting against male criminals, all while she personally enjoys doing it with total satisfaction.
205	* Makoto gets one by Sekai in ''VisualNovel/SchoolDays''. Cue fans rejoicing because the anime version of Makoto is a [[{{Jerkass}} HUGE JERK]].
206	* Yukari Sahashi starts developing a habit for it in ''Manga/{{Sekirei}}''. She's helping Shiina, the Sekirei she winged, find his "sister", Kusano,[[note]]She'd long found her Ashikabi in Yukari's older brother, Minato, but she doesn't know this.[[/note]] but she kept running into misbehaving young men instead, which she promptly dispatched with the trope, earning her the moniker "Demon Ashikabi".
207	* ''Manga/ShamanKing''
208	** Anna promptly kicks the soon-to-be GOD, and gets herself quite a reputation for it.
209	** Tamao once does it to Ryu, when she mistakenly thinks that he and Manta are after Yoh to kill him.
210	* The girls in ''Shiritsu Yabasugi Gakuen'' are ''extremely'' fond of inflicting these - there are probably between ten and twenty in each volume of the manga. [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight Nobody makes a big deal of it]] and (shockingly) nobody ever suffers a serious injury. Typically, the attacks fall into two categories:
211	** The most common is a simple kick in the balls, usually in retaliation for sexist comments or behaviour.
212	** Less common but still fairly prevalent are attacks made on the guys [[DeadlyPrank for no reason]] - the typical victim is [[{{Tsundere}} someone the girls find attractive]]. Most frequently, this'll be an [[DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale off-the-cuff nut-kick]], but sometimes the girls plan [[DeadlyPrank absolutely brutal]] Groin Attacks, involving things like putting on heavy boots to kick someone in the balls; kicking him in the balls while pouring chili oil over his crotch, and stuffing sea urchins down guys' swimming trunks, then ''stomping'' where it counts. The girls plan these in advance, gang up to inflict them, and record the attacks to watch as entertainment later.
213	* Episode 6 of ''Literature/{{Slayers}} NEXT'' had Martina place a curse on Lina, in which any pain she inflicts on others is magnified and directed back at her. Naturally, she ends up kicking Gourry in the groin after he had accidentally grabbed her breasts (courtesy of Xellos) and made a remark about how small they are and... well, hilarity ensues.
214	* ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'':
215	** In ''Anime/SonicTheHedgehogTheMovie'', towards the end of the film, Sonic falls onto the upraised prow of a hover-ship crotch first and promptly starts reacting in silent pain. Robotnik is baffled by Sonic's antics, then notices that Sonic's robotic doppelganger (which has embedded itself in the hover ship's underside, so its head is sticking out of the floor) is getting kicked in the head by Sara, who's accusing it of trying to look up her skirt, and claims that Sonic must be trying to synchronize with Metal Sonic.
216	** In ''Anime/SonicX'', when Emerl goes berserk in the ''Sonic Battle'' arc, Sonic tries to fight him off, as Emerl issues one of these onto Sonic. We then see everybody's horrified reactions. Made even funnier when Sonic tries to take it like a man (err, hedgehog) despite being in immense pain and his voice getting higher. He faints anyway. Surprisingly, 4Kids left it in, but unsurprisingly, [[PlayedForDrama they found another way to work around it]].
217	* ''Manga/SoulEater'':
218	** One chapter has Black Star training in hand-to-hand combat with Patti Thompson. He insists that he needs to have his hands tied so as to make it a fair fight (against the girl who's beaten the rest of the class). Unfortunately, he turns around to have this done when the fight had already begun. Cue Patti [[SlasherSmile gleefully kicking]] him in the crotch.
219	** In the Anime, after he finds Angela and goes on a victory speech, she kicks him between his legs.
220	** In the manga, [[spoiler:after DressingAsTheEnemy]], Soul and Kid are assigned to babysit [[CuteWitch Angela]]. Five minutes in, she whacks Soul in the crotch with her broomstick. Finding his reaction funny, she decides to ''make a game out of it'' and does the same thing to Kid.
221	** In his fight against Masamune, Black Star runs circles around his foe and taunts him, but eventually slips and flies groin-first into a pole.
222	* ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' has a variant of this happening. During the fight in the ocean with Adiane, the extremely phallic mobile base gets its main underside cannon destroyed. ''Every'' male except for CampGay Leeron [[ShareTheMalePain grabs their groins in pain]].
223	* In ''Literature/{{Toradora}}'', Taiga delivers one of these to ''her own father.'' To be fair, though, Aisaka-san ''was'' a major {{Jerkass}} to her.
224	* Sunmi clubs Skunk in the nuts with a microphone in ''Manga/TokyoTribe 2''.
225	* ''Anime/TheTowerOfDruaga''
226	** In one episode of ''The Aegis of Uruk'', Coopa is changed from [[GenderBender a girl into a boy]] as a result of a magical trap. In desperation, she hits herself in the groin... with very painful results.
227	** An example of the very rare female form of this occurs in ''The Sword of Uruk'', when Ki does it to Fatina with a spoon. From Fatina's reaction, Ki '''did hit''' the right spot.
228	* In an episode of ''Anime/TransformersSuperGodMasterforce'', Lightfoot hits Dauros in the groin with his [[CarFu car]]. In the Japanese version, Dauros then makes a pun about it while collapsing.
229	* Episode 19 of ''Manga/{{Trigun}}'' had Meryl delievering a swift groin kick to a random {{Mook}} who got close to her after hearing something about a typhoon (which was possibly a reference to Vash the Stampede, one of whose nicknames is "the Humanoid Typhoon").
230	* The title character of ''TSUYOSHI'' is someone who doesn't want to fight... So he developed the nasty habit of punching his opponents in the groin to make sure they respect his "only one fight" rule. In fact, in the first fight we see him he ends up striking one of his opponent there two times and ''was going for the third'' when the poor guy fainted from pain and terror (it was a thug that had shoplifted at his work place with his friends and then reacted violently when confronted about it).
231	** Done to ''ridiculous'' extremes as part of [[TrainingFromHell Wan Yundao's training]], whose teacher started with punching him there, then progressed to striking him with a ''hammer'', and, as the final exercise, used a ''siege ram''. By the time he fought a royally pissed Tsuyoshi and got punched in the groin it had no effect because his balls had already been shredded... Resulting in Tsuyoshi hitting his RageBreakingPoint, [[GameBreakingInjury striking and breaking his clavicle to immobilize his arms]], and then [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown beating him unconscious]].
232	* ''Manga/ViolinistOfHameln'': During a divination class, Shchel's crystal ball shows the whole class a humiliating event in Shchelkunchik childhood that ended with [[SlipperySwimsuit losing his swim trunks in the school pool]] and ended up with a water scorpion pricking him in his delicate bits, with all the girls blushing and noticing how [[BiggerIsBetterInBed big and swollen]] it became.
233	* In the second episode of ''Anime/XamdLostMemories'', a smart-mouth crewman pisses off a little kid... and the kid slugs the big jerk right in his twig and berries!
234	* In ''Manga/YouAndMe'' a kindergartener once kicked Kaname in the groin.
235	* ''Anime/YuGiOh'':
236	** When the gang rides a helicopter to Dartz's lair, it bounces around in a storm and Mokuba ends up flying headfirst into Tristan's groin, flooring him with pain. 4Kids edited it so Mokuba flies into his stomach instead.
237	** In ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'', when Dr. Crowler dueled Bonaparte, Bonaparte's monsters fire their cork-loaded shotguns at Crowler's groin. This occurs twice during the series run. Surprisingly, 4Kids kept the shots in.
238	** In ''Anime/YuGiOhCapsuleMonsters'', after escaping a nest of baby Duel Monsters, Jounouchi crashes into a tree growing out of the cliff groin-first.
239	* The third episode of ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'' had Yusuke (in his [[AstralProjection ghost state]]) taking control of an unconscious young teenage schoolgirl's body so that he can protect Kuwabara who was on his way to school. During his fight against the school thugs that had tried to attack Kuwabara, Yusuke (in the body of the schoolgirl) is able to battle and defeat each of them with no problem and in the end, he delievers three groin kicks to the last thug before knocking him out with a hard right punch. Afterwards, Yusuke leaves the body of the young teenage schoolgirl, who is quite shocked to see on what has transpired.
240	* In ''Manga/ZatchBell'', the melon-chomping V-shaped Victoream has shiny balls on his arms, either side of his head and at the tip of his V. When he gets tied up after his "Very Melon" song, Tia stomps Victoream repeatedly on the tip of his V, leading him to remark in the Japanese version "Don't bully my gentleman!"
241
242	!!Played for Drama
243
244	* Present in ''Manga/{{Airmaster}}'' during the combat between Minaguchi Yuki and Aikawa Maki.
245	* A blink and it's missed moment towards the end of the ''Literature/{{Another}}'' anime features the trope: [[spoiler: Yumi slips when she tries to stab Mei while leaning onto a slippery window ledge, only to land crotch first on said window sill... and then to [[HoistByHisOwnPetard end up falling]] [[DeathByFallingOver to her own death]].]]
246	* A female-on-female example from chapter 98 of ''Manga/AyakashiTriangle'': While fighting a [[DemonicPossession possessed]] Lu, Matsuri gets knocked over in pain by being kicked square in the crotch.
247	* ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'':
248	** In ''Anime/BerserkTheGoldenAgeArc II - The Egg Of The King'', Guts stabs a guard in the groin with his sword in half-swording fashion while fighting his way out of Count Julius' mansion.
249	** Later in the Conviction Arc Guts slices off the horrible snake penis of the Great Goat as he was (much like Wyald) preparing to rape Casca.
250	* [[spoiler:Chizuru Honda]] from ''Manga/{{Bokurano}}'' does this in a HumongousMecha, to the other mecha she's fighting. Quite ironic, considering [[spoiler: her status as a girl who got pregnant due to rape.]]
251	* When Meg is kidnapped at the beginning of ''Anime/BurstAngel'', [[ReiAyanamiExpy Jo]] sees fit to threaten this with a ''Desert Eagle'' on Kyohei, stopping just short of pulling the trigger.
252	* In ''Manga/CaptainTsubasa Rising Sun'', it's revealed that [[spoiler: Juan Díaz]]'s reason to not have attended the World Youth Cup was this trope. [[spoiler: During the Argentinian championship, he got kicked so violently near the crotch that ''his hip bone and cartilages were damaged'' so he had to be operated on and then hospitalized for several months, causing him to miss the WYC. He recovered well enough in the end, however.]]
253	* ''Manga/CynthiaTheMission'' had this done to a girl. With a TOE BLADE. Kanae pops a blade out of her shoe and kicks Bridget in the crotch, and as Bridget was wearing a short pleated skirt, all that was between her vulva and the weapon was her panties, which the blade sliced through easily, plunging into Bridget's underparts, presumably into her vagina. Though not directly killed by this devastating blow, Bridget is, unsurprisingly, heavily incapacitated by it, and tries to stagger away, bleeding severely from her crotch. OUCH.
254	* Used to emphasize an important CharacterDevelopment in the GenderBender manga ''Manga/TheDayOfRevolution''. Once Megumi realizes that she truly has become a girl she loses any inhibitions her old male self may have had against using a groin attack against a would-be rapist.
255	* In ''Franchise/{{Devilman}}: The Birth'', after Ryo attacks the partygoers with a broken liquor bottle to spill their blood to summon the demons, they start fighting back and knock him to the floor; they then beat on him while he's down, and a woman kicks him in the crotch.
256	* Trane from ''Die Wergelder'' provides a ''very'' nasty example when she defeats a powerful assassin by sliding under him and ''tearing out his entire crotch'' with her super-strong mechanical hand. She then crushes it while giving her regards to his family.
257	* In ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'', [=WarGreymon=] uses his Great Tornado attack to drill right into [=VenomVamdemon's=] crotch, but all it does is reveal Vamdemon's true form within. After this happens, [=WarGreymon=] proceeds to kick the Fuji Broadcasting Center's observatory into [=VenomVamdemon's=] crotch-face, before he and [=MetalGarurumon=] finish the job with a CombinationAttack.
258	* In ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'', after upgrading his sword into a LaserBlade powered by the combined ki of everyone on the planet, Future Trunks splits Fusion Zamasu in half vertically, starting at his groin. And he holds his sword there for several seconds before moving it up, all while Zamasu is screaming in utter agony.
259	* In ''Manga/EdenNoHana'', Midori applies one [[spoiler:on her rapist stepbrother]] to escape from him and [[spoiler:join her real brother, Tokio]].
260	* ''Anime/EdenOfTheEast'': The "Johnny Killer" kills her victims by castrating them with a cigar cutter and let them bleed out to death.
261	* ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'': There are multiple instances of Kenshiro kicking his enemies in the crotch. Like with most of his attacks, their heads usually explode from that. One time he kicks an enemy in the groin so hard, the enemy becomes ATwinkleInTheSky.
262	* Kurz Weber resorts to a groin kick during his knock-down-drag-out fight with Guen Bien Bo near the end of ''Literature/FullMetalPanic'', but it doesn't give him the advantage for very long.
263	* ''Manga/{{Gintama}}'':
264	** Katsura and Kondo rips out the king and his assistant's crotches off.
265	** Gintoki later does the same to [[spoiler:Kintoki]] and shoves in his eyes and mouth.
266	* In ''Manga/{{Holyland}}'', [[spoiler: Katou does this to Shougo and Yuu as part of his CombatPragmatist street fighting style. Yuu gets to show his {{Determinat\|or}}ion by managing to continue fighting afterwards.]]
267	* In ''Anime/Kite1998'', Sawa kicked a bodyguard in the groin twice, causing him to vomit, and later shoots Akai, [[spoiler:her rapist]], between the legs.
268	* During a BarBrawl at the beginning of the [[OriginalVideoAnimation OVA]] ''Anime/LegendOfLemnear'', the main heroine Lemnear kicks one of the attacking thugs in the groin which makes him fall down in excruciating pain.
269	* Episode 12 of ''Anime/MacrossFrontier'' has Alto finishing off the rebel leader by stabbing his PoweredArmor's groin with a knife. One could only wonder how much damage a knife that can penetrate power armor causes to organic tissue... Especially since both combatants are the size of mechas and the knife is sized accordingly.
270	* Meta. Creator/MattHill, during ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSeed'', actually ''requested'' a kick to the groin so his character (Kira Yamato) could sound more authentically traumatized during a tragic scene. That said, considering [[Creator/SoichiroHoshi his Japanese equivalent's]] [[{{Narm}} performance]], English speaking fans got a much better performance by comparison.
271	* ''Literature/No6'': Sion does this to a greasy old corpse collector in chapter 6 who is hitting on him and has bad intentions towards him.
272	* ''Manga/OnePiece'': In episode 183, there's a brief frame of Enel hitting Luffy in the groin with his golden staff, but since Luffy is made of rubber, it barely hurts him at all.
273	* In ''Anime/PerfectBlue'', one of the murder victims is stabbed repeatedly in the groin with a screwdriver.
274	* Momo of ''Manga/PeachGirl'' does this to Kairi's brother Ryo when he tries to rape her.
275	* Poor Inui in ''Manga/ShinjukuDxD''. He gets one when a {{Yakuza}} decided to shove his gun in his crotch (thankfully he didn't discharge the gun), and another one from a different member of another {{Yakuza}} group with ''a taser''.
276	* In ''Manga/SoulEater'', Death the Kid seemed to have no qualms about kicking Mosquito-from-200-years-ago between the legs during his fight in Baba Yaga's castle.
277	* ''Manga/StarStrikeItRich'': Rare female example. During her fight with Nozomi, Hina kicks her the crotch. Nozomi clearly feels a lot of pain, but she manages to keep fighting.
278	* [[https://youtu.be/q1JOEinqvyo?t=51 This female example]], suffered by Cammy from C. Viper in ''Anime/StreetFighterIVTheTiesThatBind''. Followed by a BreastAttack, too! Bonus points for she wears a LeotardOfPower as well.
279	* Being a manga on ProfessionalWrestling (even if [[ProWrestlingIsReal they treat it as real]]), ''Manga/TigerMask'' features them with a certain frequency. And the second-to-last story arc establishes that the tournament is filled with extremely capable heels when two of them react to a rather vicious one (it involved a chain and breaking the victim's groin cup) by calling it ''childish'' (Tiger Mask, who executed it, privately agreed).
280	* ''Manga/TokyoGhoul'':
281	** In a blink-and-you-miss-it moment, [[PickyPeopleEater Shuu Tsukiyama]]'s wanted poster mentions that he murdered ''and'' castrated a politician.
282	** The sequel features the female Ghoul Ayu, nicknamed "Nutcracker" for her preference for stomping on men's genitals and [[{{Squick}} slurping them up]] like oysters. One unfortunate RedShirt suffers this fate, while Shirazu [[CouldHaveBeenMessy barely]] escapes with his goods intact.
283	** Mutsuki does this to [[spoiler:Takizawa]], kneeing him and following it up ''stomping'' on his genitals. It's not only dirty fighting at its worst, but an early indicator of the [[SanitySlippage trouble]] to come.
284	* Played for both Drama and pitch black comedy in ''Manga/ThouShaltNotDie'' where the group is coming under fire from a sniper. The first shot ends up costing Botan her hand, the second ends up hitting Mizukaki in the nether regions. What makes it comedy is the face he makes as it happens.
285	* Used in ''Manga/VideoGirlAi'', when [[spoiler: Youta puts on a facade and assaults Ai to save her from Rolex's control. She reacts by squeezing his nuts until the pain makes him stop, and then she realizes what he was truly trying to do.]]
286	* ''Anime/VividStrike'' begins with AMinorKidroduction of Fuuka Reventon doing this to one of the [[KidsAreCruel bullies tormenting]] her and [[{{Protectorate}} Rinne]]. This earns her a beating.
287	* In the anime of ''Manga/WannaBeTheStrongestInTheWorld'', Digger and Hornet give a vicious one to Sakura in an attack that shows how dangerous a tag-team they are. They take Sakura and drag her crotch-first along the top ropes, which causes her to collapse and grab between her legs in agony. The pair then pick her up and headbutt her back and forth between each other, until she gets knocked out.
288	* Lakshi from ''Literature/TheWeatheringContinent'' pulls off a nut shot that catches her attacker ''in mid-air''.
289	* In one episode of ''Anime/YuGiOhZEXAL'' Yuma did this to Gauche when he and Droite tried to use muscle to interrogate him after Haruto was kidnapped. (This time the dub edited it out, probably because, unlike the case in ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'' it was ''not'' supposed to be funny.)
