"Ow! My boobs! I need those for seducing!"
Hinata Hyuga, Naruto: The Abridged Series

Breast Attack is the Distaff Counterpart to Groin Attack, since receiving blunt trauma to the breasts is painful for women, though maybe not as painful as Groin Attack is for men (not that many people can be a proper judge of that). The nipples are also rather sensitive, though this is also true for men to a lesser extent.

In reality, a Groin Attack is much more dangerous and painful for women than a Breast Attack, not even so much because of genitalia but more because of being a site of most major vital nerves and blood vessels to the lower extremities. However, in a fight, breasts are a much easier target, which is why the Breast Attack is much more common than a female Groin Attack.

A Breast Attack is sometimes intended to show that the male attacker is playing dirty (and against a woman too, how reprehensible!). Even worse if done in a sexual way to show dominance against a weaker girl. You're supposed to wince at this one, but this trope is occasionally Played for Laughs. If the victim is already a Butt-Monkey, it's okay to laugh. Or if it's a woman doing it to another woman. Or a man getting a purple nurple.

Note that in Real Life this attack is, no matter who does it, almost always considered a low blow (so to speak) and can cause minor injury, which is why we recommend that you Don't Try This at Home (unless of course a female attacker is threatening your safety).

Contrast Female Groin Invincibility (when women take no damage from a Groin Attack even though they should) and Torpedo Tits (when breasts attack you). Also contrast Primal Chest-Pound, when a character hits his own chest (usually a male, as it's a lot less painful for them).

If you thought of a certain Woody Allen film, that's kinda an example (when the rogue boob gets captured) and for Torpedo Tits...but definitely not what we intended.

  • A very disturbingly gory example in the Devilman OVA, Amon: The Apocalypse; when Akira's power starts to manifest and he transforms into the titular Devilman, he's then assaulted by a group of demons, which he massacres... including a nude female demon whose boobs he rips off with his bare hands.
  • Dragon Ball:

Also when in Ultra Instinct the air pressure punch Goku gives Kefla notably hits her breasts and causes her considerable pain.

  • At one point in Monster Musume, Centorea gets stung on the nipple by a Japanese Giant Hornet. She has Kimihito suck the venom out to save her life. And the next chapter revealed that she was never in any danger, she just wanted an excuse to have Kimihito touch her.
  • In Muromi-san, Muromi often does this to the over-endowed Fuji.
  • Naruto:
  • One Piece:
    • Nami seemingly takes two of Miss Doublefinger's spikes to the breasts and one to the head, subverted however and it was just a mirage created by Nami.
    • Subverted in Whole Cake, Brook stabs Big Mom's bosom and doesn't even make a dent thanks to her Nigh-Invulnerability. Played straight in Onigashima, as Law going all out with his Devil Fruit power is able to pierce through Big Mom’s chest.

  • Near the end of the Red/Green/Blue arc in PokĂ©mon Adventures, Green makes some derogatory comments about Sabrina's bustline, so Sabrina has her Alakazam slash Grreen across her breasts to spite her. Too bad Green was baiting her, and the attack opened the PokĂ©balls she'd stashed in Victoria's Secret Compartment. (This is Bowdlerized in the current English version, though the original one had it intact.)
  • Ranma ½, instead of punching, grabbing hold and squeezing is a common trick (mostly by the Tendo sisters) to subdue Ranma in female form, mostly because Ranma - a guy who's cursed to transform into a woman - is still unused to the enhanced sensitivity and because it's funny.
  • In episode 5 of Rosario + Vampire, while playing chicken in the pool, Yukari actually bites Kurumu's right breast.
  • In Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie Vega while attacking Chun-Li in her apartment, slashes her ample breasts with his Wolverine Claws leaving two nasty gashes. He even licks Chun-Li’s blood off his blades in satisfaction after he does it.
  • In Street Fighter IV: The Ties That Bind, Cammy received this from C.Viper when she grabs her breast and electrocutes her. Before this, she even received a Groin Attack, too! And both were charged with electricity! OUCH.
  • A particular brutal one occurs in Twin Star Exorcists. When Rui Fuka is introduced, it's shown that she's a gorgeous blonde with a large chest. However, shortly after her introduction, her huge boobs must have made for an appealing target, because they get completely obliterated by a blast that rips her in half.
  • Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: Happened to Asuka twice in her duel against Titan, the first is when she activates Doble Passe to redirect Titan's Picador Fiend's attack(which was a green beam)from her Cyber Tutu to her directly which its attack went through Asuka's chest. The second was when Titan's Dark Arena forces Cyber Tutu to attack his Picador Fiend which resulted in Tutu's destruction but then taking Asuka by surprise Picador Fiend fires another beam, again directly to her chest but since it was a shadow game by this point Asuka felt the attack.

This is in her top breast pocket for easy use and takes the full force of the spell from several yards away. What he does not know is that after the successful first use of this spell, the Omnicons have had makeshift protection added, in the form of soratorium and octiron.

    • Allison gets shot in the breast by a cop. She seems more concerned about the fact the bullet disfigured her breast than she is about the fact that she got shot in the chest.

  • Pearl Jam, "Jeremy": "He gnashed his teeth and bit the recess lady's breast!"
  • Shakira: In the video for "Objection (Tango)," Shakira pokes at the breasts of the woman her boyfriend has been cheating on her with, deflating them.

    But you gotta know small things also count!

    Professional Wrestling 
  • In intergender wrestling, attacking the female opponent's breasts is a surprisingly common tactic, especially when the male competitor is a bad guy. Pulling a dirty move like that is bad enough, but the squicky sexual notion of him touching and attacking somewhere as private and senstitive as her breasts just pushes it even further into him being obviously evil, much to the chagrin of the crowd that will let him know their disapproval.
  • Awesome Kong uses a move where she hoists her opponent up in a chicken wing hold, pulling their arms behind her, and then dropping her face and breast first on the mat, calling it the "Implant Buster."
  • In TNA, ODB proved her toughness by letting Cody Deaner use her breasts as speed bags while she was training him.
  • Before she turned evil, The World Famous Kana was on the wrong end of a running gag where she would fly into a rage whenever someone touched her breasts. This mostly happened in matches in against chauvinist or perverted male wrestlers but Police Wo~man and Lin "Bitch" Bairon did it too (Bairon's case wasn't played for laughs, but Kana's revenge was).
  • A running gag in Wonder Ring STARDOM revolving around Yuzuki Aikawa. She was a swimsuit model before becoming a professional wrestler and was the promotion's first doubles champion within two years, main eventing on Bull Nakano's retirement show. Many other Joshi show resent for this by attacking what they believe to be the source of her success but Aikawa also did taekwondo for ten years, so she can take it.
  • Joey Ryan often ends up facing women. One of his moves is the "Boobplex", where he gives a German suplex while grabbing the breasts instead of the waist. However, he is willing to substitute man boobs, as Greg Excellent discovered in CZW.
  • Pentagon Jr. is famous for slapping the chest of his opponent while they are leaned against the ropes. Unfortunately for his female opponents, his slap knows no gender, and he will strike a female's breast no less hard than he would a man.
  • An unintentional example happened between a match of Sasha Banks and Charlotte Flair. While Sasha Banks was attempting a chop, she hit at a lower angle that Divas aim for, and visibly hit Charlotte right in one of her breast. In the prime of Dawn Marie, Molly Holly and Trish Stratus's runs, however, cops to the breasts were to be expected, even by the baby face Stratus as a hold over from her heel run.

    Theater 
  • Played for Laughs in Ride the Cyclone, as it's the only real on-stage violence in a show about six teenagers who die in a horrific roller coaster accident. Extreme Doormat Constance, the "nicest girl in town," punches her best friend Ocean in the breast when she can no longer put up with her Ocean's self-centered attitude and backhanded compliments.
    Ocean: Ouch! You punched me! In the friggin' boob!
