** Kon tries to glomp Rukia (and every other female character) every time he sees her (usually shouting Onee-chaan!!! and variation), he never manages to do it though. Except for that one time where he was in Ichigo's body and he finally pulled off snuggling her (non-existent) funbags. He was very happy that day.

* ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'': Ed gets glomped a few times by Alexander the dog, when he and Al go to Shou Tucker's house to study alchemy. It's hard for a dog to hug someone, so in Ed's case, it was more like DeathFromAbove, as Alexander's shadow was the last thing he saw before the giant dog ever-so-lovingly crushed him underneath.

* ''Manga/KOn'': The girls like to glomp each other on a regular basis. Especially Azusa is often a victim to Yui's sudden affectionate urges.

* ''Manga/LovelyComplex'': In episode 9, Nobu comforts her best friend Risa over Otani basically being oblivious to Risa's love for him and feels it's her fault things aren't going so well because she's the one who pushed Risa to confess to Otani. Risa reassures her not to worry about it, and that's she's grateful to Nobu for motivating her to confess her love to Otani. In response, Nobu makes the total out-of-the-blue decision to glomp Risa to the ground and grope her as she's hugging her. Nobu releases lots of heart marks and Risa freaks out, telling Nobu "don't touch me there!"

* ''Manga/NatsuENoTobira'': One of the very few times where this is PlayedForDrama is in the OAV. [[spoiler:When Marion is mourning for his friend Claude, who [[SpurnedIntoSuicide killed himself]] after giving him a failed AnguishedDeclarationOfLove, he has an ImagineSpot recreating what he belives it would've happened if he didn't reject the other boy. It has Claude glomping Marion and happily telling him "I love you".]]

** What ''should'' be a painful example would be Ash's Muk, a ''Poison''-type who tends to do this on people he likes (although Professor Oak seems to be a frequent target). No one seems to be hurt from it otherwise.

* ''ComicBook/JLA1997'': This is done by Nightwing to Batman when the League returns to present after saving Atlantis.

* ''ComicBook/AllNewWolverine'': In issue #12 X-23 does one, even though she HatesBeingTouched. After believing [[spoiler:ComicBook/OldManLogan accidentally killed her younger clone/sister, Gabby, at the end of #11 while in a feral rage, she's about ready to abandon her recent swearing off of killing to put him down. Just as she's about to strike the fatal blow, Gabby appears and stops her. Laura is so overjoyed to see her she pulls her into a bear hug so fierce she actually ''lifts her off the ground''.]]

* Jessie from ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory2'' loves this trope. She glomps Woody upon first meeting him -- one of many things that causes Woody to become "officially freaked out" in that scene. Jessie glomps Woody again at the end of the movie [[spoiler:after she and Woody have successfully escaped from the plane and landed safely behind Buzz on Bulleye's back.]] In ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory3'', Jessie glomps Buzz after he [[spoiler:rescues her in the trash compactor, gets crushed under a falling TV, and, just when everyone thinks he's dead, turns out to be not only alive but restored to his normal self.]]

* At the opening to ''Film/DieHard'', John [=McClane=] watches as a young lady in the airport runs over to a man who is ostensibly her boyfriend, jumps up, wraps herself around him, and kisses him passionately.

** The show {{p|un}}aints Creator/VincentVanGogh in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E10VincentAndTheDoctor "Vincent And The Doctor"]] as extremely prone to mood swings. If he likes you, though, chances are very good he'll do this, for example when the Doc takes him to visit a Parisian Gallery where an art critic describes him as "the greatest artist of all time."

* An episode of the 1989 Indian medical show ''Lifeline'' has a particularly dark example. The PatientOfTheWeek consists of a couple with serious third-degree burns. The guy was a greedy prick who only married his wife for the dowry money, and was contemplating divorcing her to marry a different woman just so he could extract a larger dowry payment. His wife refuses to grant him the divorce, so he sneaks up behind her, douses her with perfume, then [[KillItWithFire sets her ablaze with a lit match]]. Instead of panicking and screaming in terror and pain, the wife immediately glomps him. As a result, he suffers more serious burns than she does and dies while she survives.

** Chloe does this to Clark a lot of times. In "Zod", she does this to Clark when he returns from the PhantomZone and defeats Zod. She does it again in "Persona" after making sure he is [[spoiler:the real Clark, not Bizarro]]. Clark does it on a rare occasion in "Labyrinth" when [[spoiler:he thought she just died in his arms, but turned out AllJustADream]].

** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX'': Garnet/Dagger glomps Zidane in the final scene of the game, when she learns that he's still alive.

* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteel II'': GenkiGirl Millium Orion is great fan of this maneuver, with Claire, Rean, and Jusis often at the receiving end.

* Zatachi, the group's funny guy in ''Webcomic/CityOfSomnus'', tends to give people "dragon dive hugs" that sometimes knock them off their feet. Once of twice, he's glomped by Paollo, too.

* In ''Webcomic/SandraOnTheRocks'', Lavali [[https://pixietrixcomix.com/sandra-on-the-rocks/me-hee-hee-heeeeeee executes a rather sedate glomp]] onto her brother Alex, marked as such with an UnsoundEffect, when she needs comfort after a break-up.
* ''Webcomic/SleeplessDomain'': During Chapter 19, Kokoro and Undine are unexpectedly separated while on patrol, coutesy of a monster [[TrappedOnTheAstralPlane rendering Kokoro physically unable to interact with anything]]. Once she eventually returns to normal, [[https://www.sleeplessdomain.com/comic/chapter-19-page-18 the first thing Undine does]] upon being reunited with Kokoro is give her a [[MakingASplash water jet-powered]] tackle hug.

** When Weiss realizes that Yang is in the bandit camp, she decides to escape from her cage by openly using her Semblance to summon her Knight clone. When she reaches Yang's side, they are initially prepared to fight the bandits back-to-back until Raven calls them off and decides the girls' need to hear a few home truths in private. Just before they follow Raven into her tent, Weiss tackles Yang in a fierce hug, emphatically declaring how much she has missed her. Initially startled, Yang hugs her back and tells Weiss that she's missed her, too.

* ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'': Numbuh Four gets glomped by Numbuh Three in the episode "Operation: O.F.F.I.C.E." when she saw he was okay after crashing with a rocket into Mr. Boss' car. Also in "Operation: N.A.U.G.H.T.Y." when he gave her a Christmas present (his left-over french fries), thus saving her from the effects of Santa's sleigh.

* Baby orangutans, gorillas, and several other primates instinctively lock their arms around their mothers and do not let go for ''anything'' for the first four to six months of their lives. This makes caring for orphaned primates especially challenging, as they will try to keep a death-grip on their human caregivers 24/7.

* The reunion between [[RoboShip Lars and Alisa]] in ''[[VideoGame/{{Tekken}} Tekken 7]]'''s Story Mode has [[RobotGirl Alisa]] immediately tackling Lars the moment he addresses her, almost tearfully expressing how long she waited to see him again. Given [[OverrideCommand what happened]] [[HeroicRROD to her]] in the previous game, it's hard not to blame her. Meanwhile, Lee, the party responsible for bringing them back together, [[ShipperOnDeck gives an approving round of applause]].

* Mikage once did a running glomp to Teito in ''Manga/ZeroSevenGhost'' complete with sparkles.

* The girls from ''Manga/KOn'' like to glomp each other on a regular basis. Especially Azusa is often a victim to Yui's sudden affectionate urges.

* In ''Anime/MagicalProjectS'', Haida does this to Hiroto constantly.

* One of the very few times this is PlayedForDrama is the OAV of ''Manga/NatsuENoTobira''. [[spoiler:When Marion is mourning for his friend Claude, who [[SpurnedIntoSuicide killed himself]] after giving him a failed AnguishedDeclarationOfLove, he has an ImagineSpot recreating what he belives it would've happened if he didn't reject the other boy. It has Claude glomping Marion and happily telling him "I love you".]]

* Many girls in Rin's [[HaremGenre Harem]] in ''VisualNovel/{{Shuffle}}'' have done this.

* Yuki does one to Basara in episode 2 of ''Literature/TheTestamentOfSisterNewDevil'', shortly after he transfers into her school. Unfortunately, she does it in front of the entire class, which not only angers [[ClingyJealousGirl Mio]] but all the guys in the school as well.
* Happens a lot to Rito in ''Manga/ToLoveRu'' because, well, it's [[HaremSeries that type of series]]. [[GenkiGirl Lala]], [[ThirdOptionLoveInterest Run]] and [[LovableSexManiac Momo]] being the main offenders.

* In episode 4 of ''Literature/UnlimitedFafnir'', Tear does this to Yuu after seeing him at the school.
* Ai from ''Manga/VideoGirlAi'' likes to do this to catch Youta's attention. When he continues to ignore her, she repeats the technique with her [[{{Fanservice}} bare chest]], with the [[{{Nosebleed}} expected result]].

* If there's a way to do this without arms, Mugetsu of ''Manga/XxxHolic'' has mastered it. Of course, he's even worse when he has them

* In ''Anime/YuGiOhZexal'' Anna gives one to Yuma after their tag duel against Umimi and Tobio, causing both to fall down a flight of stairs.

* A scene from ''Manga/DGrayMan'' has Lavi glomping Allen. Road is also fond of doing this to Allen.
** Lenalee glomps Cross Marian at the end of the [[{{Pun}} Ark Arc]] in order to keep him from wandering off again after spending roughly forty episodes looking for him. [[FridgeBrilliance In fact, this is the very reason she was brought along.]]
** And in chapter 211, Johnny tackle-hugs Allen with tears in his eyes.
* ''Manga/DNAngel'': [[ClingyJealousGirl Mio]] [[StalkerWithACrush Hio]] frequently does this to Daisuke.

* In ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'', Ed gets glomped a few times by Alexander the dog, when he and Al go to Shou Tucker's house to study alchemy. It's hard for a dog to hug someone, so in Ed's case, it was more like DeathFromAbove, as Alexander's shadow was the last thing he saw before the giant dog ever-so-lovingly crushed him underneath.

* In ''Manga/FushigiYuugi'', Miaka does this to Yui at the top of the stairs in the manga, resulting in a conspicuous shot of Yui's panties and a teacher telling them to have some modesty.

* SissyVillain Michio Yuki of ''Manga/{{MW}}'' does this quite a bit to Father Garai. Usually while in various states of undress or [[CreepyCrossdresser drag]].

* Sei Satou (the first "''Rosa Gigantea''") from ''Lierature/MariaWatchesOverUs'' is fond of glomping Yumi, the series protagonist.

* Mayl/Maylu Sakurai is fond of doing this to Lan Hikari in ''Anime/MegaManNTWarrior''. And the boy ''still'' doesn't pick up that she's got a crush on him.

* ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'' has a bizarre and dark example- for whatever reason, this was the visible sound effect when Dabi [[spoiler: tried to burn himself and Shoto to death]] with what can only be described as a violent hug.

* In ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'', Ino enjoys glomping Sasuke, much to his distaste.

* One of the very few times this is PlayedForDrama is the OAV of ''Manga/NatsuENoTobira''. [[spoiler: When Marion is mourning for his friend Claude, who [[SpurnedIntoSuicide killed himself]] after giving him a failed AnguishedDeclarationOfLove, he has an ImagineSpot recreating what he belives it would've happened if he didn't reject the other boy. It has Claude glomping Marion and happily telling him "I love you".]]
* Negi Springfield of ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'' tends to be the target of this from the {{Genki Girl}}s in his class. Also is Konoka to Setsuna, usually causing the swordsgirl to redden noticeably.
* Asuka Langley Soryuu of ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' is not nearly as violent about it as some, but the way she adheres herself to Ryoji Kaji in episode 17 is clearly a glomp, much to his exasperation.

* A RunningGag in ''Manga/OnePiece'' revolves around [[ChivalrousPervert Sanji's]] failed attempts to glomp the sexy ladies, which usually ends with him flying face-first into a wall. Chopper on the other hand successfully glomps people whenever he gets scared or otherwise emotional.

* Iris does this to Gene in ''Manga/OutlawStar''. Gene happily reciprocates, though...by [[HandsomeLech immediately grabbing her ass]].

* Kairi has glomped Momo on occasion, as has Sae to Toji and other guys as well in ''Manga/PeachGirl''.
* In ''Manga/PitaTen,'' Misha ''loves'' to glomp Kotarou. Since she is at least one head taller than him, the sensation is uncomfortable to Kotarou, the nearby ones, and the spectators...
* In ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'', Ash's Gligar/Gliscor has a tendency to do this to him upon landing. While this was originally due to the fact that Gligar had trouble with flying and landing, as Gliscor he has been shown to have no issues with either. It is now purely out of affection.

* C-Ko Kotobuki is known to glomp A-Ko Magami on occasion in ''Anime/ProjectAKo''.
* Wakaba glomps the title character of ''Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena'' all the time, and frequently goes for rides on her back after.

* In ''Manga/RozenMaiden'' Mi loves glomping Kanaria to the point that she gets friction burns from Mi rubbing faces with her. When Kanaria brought the other Maidens over she glomped them all too. They weren't amused and threw her off after a second.
* ''Manga/SchoolLive'': Yuki Takeya gives one to Yuri Wakasa near the end of the opening title song. One of the few scenes in the opening that does NOT change as the series progress. (The background does, but not the actual scene) [[spoiler:In view of the Big Reveal Yuki’s affectionate embrace is both touching and bittersweet.]]
* Enacted under similar circumstances in the second season of ''Literature/ShakuganNoShana'' by Shana and Yuji: once to intercept Yuji's fall following his possession at high altitude by Johann, and again in the final episode when she finds him after singlehandedly {{storming|TheCastle}} TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon in order to do so before he fades from existence.

* Usagi, [=ChibiUsa=], Ann, Rei, and Fish Eye in regards to Mamoru in ''Anime/SailorMoon''.

* Mihoshi from ''Manga/SoraNoManimani'' is a glomping machine, strong enough to knock down her usual target, [[HugeGuyTinyGirl Saku]].
* In the finale of ''Anime/SoundOfTheSky'' [[spoiler: Kanata and Kureha glomps the returning Rio]] to such degree that they all fly off-screen.

* Happens frequently to Tenchi in all the various incarnations of ''Anime/TenchiMuyo''. Ryoko is the most common, but hardly the only, practitioner of this technique upon him.

* Mikage once did a running glomp to Teito in ''Manga/ZeroSevenGhost'' complete with sparkles.

* In ''Manga/AiYoriAoshi'', Mayu ends up doing this almost every episode. Tina tends to [[SkinshipGrope grope any female she meets]], and has, like Mayu, a tendency to glomp Kaoru. Being rivals, their respective glomping tends to enrage the other.
* Morgan does this to Alex ''a lot'' in ''Manga/AoiHouse''.

* ''Manga/CeresCelestialLegend'': Chidori Kurama loved to glomp Yuuhi Aogiri.
* Poor helpless Tama-Chan in ''Manga/BambooBlade'' was double-glomped by Kirino and Saya.
* Randou Rino of ''Anime/BestStudentCouncil'' frequently glomps her friend Ayumu, usually while emitting OcularGushers.

* In one chapter of ''Manga/BlackButler'', Sebastian [[spoiler: sits up in his coffin after faking his death, which results in Bard, Finny, Maylene, Lizzie, Agni, and the Prince tackle-glomping him. All while still in the coffin]]

* Marumaro from ''Anime/BlueDragon'' glomps Kluke at least once.
* In ''Manga/Brave10'', [[ClingyJealousGirl Isanami]] is fond of jumping onto Saizo and not letting go.

* ''Manga/{{Chobits}}'', Sumomo/Plum does it, despite being under a foot tall. Plum's previous owner encouraged this (and many other) behaviors Hideki has issues with. Persocoms in general are as unconditionally affectionate as housepets; their (usual) extreme sensitivity to their owner's preferences and comfort levels are the only reason we don't see more generalized public glomping.
* In ''VisualNovel/{{Clannad}}'', Kyou performs this manoeuvre on a very shy Kotomi (as seen in the picture), who has obvious difficulties deciding how to respond.
* Choco from ''Manga/ChocottoSister'' does this a lot to Yurika -- usually under loud protest from the latter.
* As the first item on the Quotes page hints, Shader from ''Manga/ChronoCrusade'' is ''very'' fond of hugging others...violently, without warning.

** [[spoiler: And Clare does it when she reunites with Teresa.]]

* In ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' during the Cell saga, after Goku heals from a near-fatal disease and everyone notices him in better condition, Goku gets glomped through a moving plane by Krillin.
* In ''Manga/{{Dramacon}}'', Matt is glomped by a fan, which pisses off his then-girlfriend Emily. The con security has to get involved.

* In ''Literature/TheFamiliarOfZero'''s second season finale, [[spoiler:Louise does this to Saito after he comes back from the dead. Too bad for Saito that she's flat.]]
** On various occasions Saito was also glomped by Kirche, Siesta, Tiffania, Scarron, and Marto, the school's head [[EvenTheGuysWantHim male cook]].

* Ryuuichi once glomped Shuichi from behind in ''Manga/{{Gravitation}}''.

* ''Manga/HanaukyoMaidTeam''. Taro's personal staff of Ichigo, Ringo, and Sango or Lemon, Marron, and Melon in the second series are undisputed masters of grabbing Taro affectionately.
* Italy once does this to Japan in ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers''. And in episode 18 of the World Series Finland glomps Estonia.

-->'''America:''' DUDE SWEET I'M TOTALLY GOING OVER THERE TO HUG YOU! ''[leaps into the air to do just that]'' ICE CREEEEEAAAAAM!
* Matsuri in ''Manga/HidamariSketch'' likes to give these.
* A more emotional, but still happy variation occurs when Rika does this to [[spoiler:Akasaka]] in the final arc of ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'' after finding out that the latter survived by yelling his name several times, sprinting down a hill at him, and ''launching'' herself down at him from halfway down the slope.

* ''Anime/TheIdolmaster'' -- Makoto is on the receiving end of several sequential glomps on the Idol Agency Sports Meet, after she won the relay race, despite getting the baton in second-to-last place.
* Noelle from ''Anime/ImGonnaBeAnAngel'' loves doing this to Yuusuke to an almost frightening degree. Also, Raphael to Mikael.

* In ''Manga/KaijuGirlCaramelise'', Kuroe Akaishi does this to [[HonoraryUncle Koutarou Hibino]] when he shows up unannounced. It's notable because she's a ShrinkingViolet who never preemptively shows affection to anyone else, not even her mother.
* In the third episode of ''Manga/KannagiCrazyShrineMaidens'' [[MagicalGirlfriend Nagi]] attempts to do this to [[UnluckyEverydude Jin]]... [[AvertedTrope And he sidesteps it, causing Nagi to skid face-first across the ground.]]

* The aim of many of Ayu's CrashIntoHello meetings with Yuuichi in ''VisualNovel/{{Kanon}}''.

* Played with in ''Anime/KillLaKill''. Ryuko's CloudCuckooLander friend Mako attempts this on her repeatedly, and her response the first time is simply to take a step to the side, resulting in Mako faceplanting into the floor. When asked why she moved Ryuko responds it's a normal reaction to move when someone is charging at you. Mako tries again a few episodes later and Ryuko responds by [[OffhandBackhand casually catching her in midair]], spinning her around her head and setting the bemused Mako down next to her as if nothing had happened.
* Hikaru from ''Manga/KimagureOrangeRoad'' usually does this to Kyosuke.

* A more serious variation is used in ''Manga/KoiKaze'', where Nanoka ends up doing this to her brother Koshiro in one episode because of her [[BrotherSisterIncest intense feelings]] that she can't express.

* Yuriko did this to Haruka at the end of episode 2 of ''Manga/KotouraSan''. Manabe mistook that to be PseudoRomanticFriendship.
* Ryou does this to Shiina in episode 11b of ''Manga/GourmetGirlGraffiti'' after finding out the latter got accepted into high school...which wasn't the reaction a jealous Kirin was hoping for.

* Dio from ''Anime/LastExile'' is exceedingly fond of this. Not only will he glomp his faithful companion Luciola, but he also has a thing for glomping Claus who is pretty freaked out.

* Sayaka Yumi from ''Anime/MazingerZ'' used it several times in many manga versions and continuities (albeit not so much in the anime adaptation). Remarkably, she resorts to them when Kouji is feeling gloomy. Her reaction when she met Kouji again after the FinalBattle in the GosakuOta manga? Glomping him. Her reaction in the ''Manga/ShinMazingerZero'' manga when Kouji got an IAmAMonster moment? Glomping him as declaring he is her ideal man.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGalaxyRangers'' episode "Trouble at Texton", Shane was caught in a particle accelerator and made a HeroicSacrifice to protect his teammates. When he comes BackFromTheDead courtesy of an extra-dimensional entity, Niko's reaction is to almost tackle him.

* In ''WesternAnimation/AsToldByGinger'' when Courtney sees Ginger and her friends hugging she asks [[BetaBitch Miranda]] why they never do it. Miranda glomps her for a moment before deciding "there, there, that's quite enough of that"

* In the episode "Curse of the Kobra (Part II)" of ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'', Terry rescues his best friend Max from the Cobra cult and she's so glad to see him that she gives him a very cute glomp... which is ruined seconds later as he breaks free because he had four cracked ribs from trying to save her the first time.

* Zeg of ''WesternAnimation/BlazeAndTheMonsterMachines'' has a tendency to hug Blaze so hard that he struggles to breathe.
* In the live-action segments of ''WesternAnimation/{{Caillou}}'', Rexy is very fond of giving these to the other characters of the segment, Teddy and Gilbert.
* ''WesternAnimation/CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteers'': In the episode "Beast of the Temple", Wheeler disappears after luring the titular beast away from Linka. When Gi brings him back safely, Linka throws herself at him.
* Chip in ''WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers'' is a frequent recipient of these, almost always from Dale. A notable occurrence was when Chip is believed to have been killed after a gypsy's prediction begins coming true, only to appear unharmed after narrowly avoiding the [[spoiler: falling trunk containing the other imprisoned Rangers that was meant to kill him]]. Unfortunately, Dale's overjoyed glomp after seeing him alive and well interrupted a much more welcome hug from Gadget...

* Near the end of the ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' finale, Danny gets triple glomped by Sam, Jazz, and Tucker respectively. He collapses.
* Ed from ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'' has Edd and Eddy in a tight hug practically every episode. ("HUG ME!")
* Bloo does this to Mac in the opening of ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends''.
%%* GIR from ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZIM''.
* WesternAnimation/KimPossible :
** Kim glomps Ron when he saves the day at the end of the episode "The Fearless Ferret".
** Under the influence of a [[EmotionBomb Moodulator chip]] in "Emotion Sickness", Shego dragged Drakken into a photo booth. The resulting PhotoBoothMontage ends with a picture of her pouncing on him.

* WesternAnimation/PepeLePew frequently does this in ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' shorts, particularly to cats who have accidentally acquired a white paint stripe down their backs.

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Motorcity}}'', Texas does this to Julie at the end of "Off the Rack."

** Discord glomps Fluttershy when they're reunited at the end of "To Where and Back Again."

* Bob from ''WesternAnimation/ReBoot'' is frequently glomped by Enzo. In fairness, it's more flying tackle and less hug and Bob is usually pinned. It is meant as a sign of affection, however.

* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' where Angelica is supposedly moving away she confesses to the babies that they're her best friends. When they find out she's not moving, they all Glomp her while she furiously tries to deny that she was telling the truth.

* ''WesternAnimation/ThunderbirdsAreGo''. After finally being rescued [[DisappearedDad Jeff Tracey]] is glomped by his children while floating in zero-gravity.

** Pepe's successor, Fifi La Fume when pursuing TT characters such as Furball, Calamity Coyote, and Little Beeper.
* Sierra from ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'' does this a lot to Cody.

* An example appears in ''WesternAnimation/{{WITCH}}'', in the episode "T is for Trauma". Eric receives a glomp from Hay Lin after complimenting her new braces. Unlike a lot of other examples on this page, Eric immediately reciprocates, wrapping his arms around Hay Lin as she takes him to the ground.
* In the fourth episode of the second season of ''WesternAnimation/WinxClub'', the pixies do this to Aisha after escaping from lord Darkar.
** Stella usually to Brandon when she is happy.

* The eponymous character of ''Anime/PonyoOnTheCliffByTheSea'' spends the first half of the film befriending a boy named Sosuke and having to cope with being separated from him when her father, Fujimoto, states in no uncertain words that he can't allow her to be with humans or be ''a'' human. She turns into a human anyway, and upon finding Sosuke's house, her first action is to run up to a shocked Sosuke and give him a tackle hug that sends him back somewhat, clearly having missed him.

* In "The Base Violence Necessary for Change", believing Vi has abandoned her, Powder straight up tackles Silco off his feet with the force of her desperate hug.
* In "The Boy Savior", Vi is captured by Ekko after he's grown up and become the leader of the Firelights. Their initial terse discussion becomes heartwarming when she suddenly hugs him, to Ekko's shock as [[SlippedTheRopes Vi was supposed to be chained up at the time.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'': Numbuh Four gets glomped by Numbuh Three in the episodes "Operation: O.F.F.I.C.E." when she saw he was okay after crashing with a rocket into Mr. Boss' car. Also in "Operation: N.A.U.G.H.T.Y." when he gave her a Christmas present (his left-over french fries), thus saving her from the effects of Santa's sleigh.

* ComicBook/{{Empowered}} does this twice with Ninjette. Complete with sound effect.
* This is done by Nightwing to Batman in one ''[[ComicBook/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica JLA]]'' issue where the League returned to present after saving Atlantis.
* ''ComicBook/LulaUndYankee'': Lula does the flying tackle version on her BF Yankee]] when he invites her for a trip to Paris.

** The aggressive hugs that Shampoo gives to Ranma in ''Ranma 1/2'' are archetypal glomps and are indeed accompanied by the "glomp" sound effect in the manga. The subsequent wholesale adoption of the word by the highly prolific ''Ranma'' {{fan|Fic}}fiction community probably did much to popularise the term.

* {{H|otAsHell}}ild, the AffablyEvil queen of hell from ''Manga/AhMyGoddess'' performs three glomps in a row immediately after arriving on earth in her very first appearance, first glomping her daughter Urd, then Belldandy and Skuld at the same time and finally Keiichi.

** Later on, Misa does something similar... to ''Ryuk.'' Is there a "[[DidYouJustIndexCthulhu Did You Just Glomp Cthulhu?]]" trope?

** [[BoisterousBruiser America]] tried to do this to [[{{Tsundere}} Britain]] after the latter offered him ice cream. [[EpicFail It ended with America falling flat on his face before he could even make contact with Britain.]]

* Kaolla Su in ''Manga/LoveHina'' does this frequently, usually in the form of a leaping hug.
* Honoka does it to Umi in episode 3 of ''Franchise/LoveLive'' after the latter is guilt-tripped into taking part in the concert despite objecting to the short skirt on their uniforms.
* Episode 9 of ''Manga/LovelyComplex'' has some [[HoYay Les Yay]] between Risa and her best friend Nobu. Nobu comforts Risa over Otani basically being oblivious to Risa's love for him and feels it's her fault things aren't going so well because she's the one who pushed Risa to confess to Otani. Risa reassures her not to worry about it, and that's she's grateful to Nobu for motivating her to confess her love to Otani. In response, Nobu makes the total out-of-the-blue decision to glomp Risa to the ground and grope her as she's hugging her. Nobu releases lots of heart marks and Risa freaks out, telling Nobu "don't touch me there!"

* Memorably, in ''Literature/TheStoryOfSaiunkoku'', Kou Shuurei's FearOfThunder causes her to glomp onto -- of all people -- Ko Kijin. To make matters worse, Shuurei is disguised as a boy at the time.

* One issue of the tie-in to ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'' has [[ComicBook/Batgirl2009 Stephanie Brown]] do this to Batman after he recovers from a near-case of dead. Making it funnier, Batman has no idea who she is (time-travel's involved), or why she's hugging him.
* In speaking of Supergirl in the story arc ''ComicBook/{{Bizarrogirl}}'', Kara's Bizarro counterpart [[http://2.bp.blogspot.com/weAR9YPIU3QeM9F3pmfJFIuNfkaJB0V12SzYU7628rNCt4tbmJl8LXmjuiZ38PKeN3by5BhSqiAX=s1600 performs a flying tackle]] when she sees Bizarro.
* In ''ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes'', it's a RunningGag that Hobbes (in Calvin's eyes, a six-foot tiger) always pounces on Calvin the moment he sets foot through the door after school. Mostly used for comedy, but one strip shows Calvin [[NoDialogueEpisode silently]] suffering through a terrible day, only for his mood to pick up when Hobbes pounces and very gleefully glomps him.

* Comicbook/{{Empowered}} does this twice with Ninjette. Complete with sound effect.

** ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} also does this to Nightwing, though one time she [[ForcefulKiss forcefully kisses him]] as well right in front of Starfire... who forgives Kara saying she [[ChickMagnet understands]].
* Comicbook/{{X 23}}, of all people, does one in ''ComicBook/AllNewWolverine'' #12, particularly noteworthy because of her history of HatesBeingTouched. After believing [[spoiler:ComicBook/OldManLogan accidentally killed her younger clone/sister, Gabby, at the end of #11 while in a feral rage, she's about ready to abandon her recent swearing off of killing to put him down. Just as she's about to strike the fatal blow, Gabby appears and stops her. Laura is so overjoyed to see her she pulls her into a bear hug so fierce she actually ''lifts her off the ground''.]]

* In the ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'' series, Sonic gets glomped by Amy. Or at least he would be if Amy wasn't color blind. She can't seem to tell the difference between blue Sonic, black-and-red Shadow, and white-colored Silver. She successfully glomps him in ''VideoGame/SonicUnleashed''... while he's in Werehog form. The one time she actually gets him, she thinks she has the wrong guy almost immediately afterward.

* Sei Satou (the first "''Rosa Gigantea''") from ''LightNovel/MariaWatchesOverUs'' is fond of glomping Yumi, the series protagonist.
** Youko, Sachiko's ''grande sœur'', once does this too, very much to Yumi's surprise since Youko is usually rather dignified.

* Enacted under similar circumstances in the second season of ''LightNovel/ShakuganNoShana'' by Shana and Yuji: once to intercept Yuji's fall following his possession at high altitude by Johann, and again in the final episode when she finds him after singlehandedly {{storming|TheCastle}} TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon in order to do so before he fades from existence.

* Memorably, in ''LightNovel/TheStoryOfSaiunkoku'', Kou Shuurei's FearOfThunder causes her to glomp onto -- of all people -- Ko Kijin. To make matters worse, Shuurei is disguised as a boy at the time.

* Yuki does one to Basara in episode 2 of ''LightNovel/TheTestamentOfSisterNewDevil'', shortly after he transfers into her school. Unfortunately, she does it in front of the entire class, which not only angers [[ClingyJealousGirl Mio]] but all the guys in the school as well.

* In episode 4 of ''LightNovel/UnlimitedFafnir'', Tear does this to Yuu after seeing him at the school.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Arcane}}''.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Arcane}}''. In "The Boy Savior", Vi is captured by Ekko after he's grown up and become the leader of the Firelights.

* ''WesternAnimation/CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteers'': In the episode, "The Dead Seas", Gi accidentally ran into Kwame while he was planting seedlings.
