* ''LightNovel/ImoutoNiFianseWoYuzureToIwaremashita'': After it's been announced that the prince's hand in marriage would given to Luna instead of Eliana, a random creep tells Eliana that he heard rumors about her losing her place as the Crown Prince's bride due to her infidelity. He then pins Eliana against a wall and tries proposition her into going out with him. Eliana manages to break free from his grasp by slapping him.

* As explained above, Japanese Website/{{Twitter}}'s version of the wall-pin originated from a [[http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/556/992/65a.jpg simple chart]] drawn by [=Maki0046=] about ([[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers mostly]]) standard examples of ''kabe-don''.

* ''VideoGame/KiniroNoCorda'', when ladies' man and flutist Azuma Yunoki [[BeneathTheMask shows his true colors]] to Kahoko Hino, he puts his hand against the wall beside her and tells her that she's been pestering him.

* In ''Manga/ManlyAppetitesMinegishiLovesOtsu'' Minegishi does this to Otsu upon being gifted chocolate from him. In a surprisingly realistic use of this trope, Minegishi's female coworker and Otsu both point out how threatening that sort of behavior is and how he'd be in real trouble if he did that to a female coworker. In Minegishi's defense, he was so overwhelmed by Otsu giving him chocolate that he wasn't really aware of his own behavior, but he still heartily apologized to Otsu. Otsu still seems pretty flustered by it.

* Played with in ''Anime/SwordArtOnlineAlternativeGunGaleOnline''. When Karen[=/=]LLENN meets M in real life, he does this to her and asks if she has ever been so deeply in love with someone that she'd give her life for them. Karen says no, at which point M says she could never understand how he feels... ''[[BaitAndSwitchComment about Pito]]''.

* ''Manga/PopTeamEpic'' pokes fun at this with Pipimi pinning Popuko, her hand hitting the wall so hard that it sends them, the wall, and the floor beneath them flying. The anime version goes a step further by portraying the initial wall-pin via a ''VisualNovel/TokimekiMemorial''-style visual novel interface, followed by the wall traversing a bunch of mining cart tracks ala ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry''.

* Chapter 2 of ''LightNovel/OthersidePicnic'' opens with Toriko seemingly performing this one Sorawo, to her complete bemusement. As it turns out, she noticed that one of Sorawo's eyes had turned bright blue after their close call with the Kunekune, and she just wanted a better look. There is definitely a ShipTease angle to it, particularly when Toriko murmurs that the color is "so pretty," causing Sorawo to become flustered.

* A substory in ''VideoGame/Yakuza6'' has Kiryu learning of the trope after first rescuing an actor known as the Kabedon Prince from jealous thugs, then having it explained and shown to him first hand to his annoyance. The thugs come back and after Kiryu sorts them out again, he gives the leader a kabedon of his own that's more life threatening than romantic, making the guy [[BringMyBrownPants piss himself]], give Kiryu his money and leave. The actor considers Kiryu to be the Kabedon King, which he feels has a nice ring to it.

* ''Series/GoodOmens'': Crowley attempts to do an intimidating version of this to Aziraphale to protest being called "quite a nice person". Instead of being intimidated, Aziraphale simply stares at Crowley while he rambles, until they're interrupted by Mary Loquacious, who identifies them as having an "intimate moment".

* Many {{Live Action Adaptation}}s for [[ShojoGenre Shojo]] manga ''always'' have a trailer featuring a "kabe don" and is often hyped up by the press. Examples include ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XuHPwZSFQg Heroine Shikkaku]]'', ''Manga/StrobeEdge'' ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5wiRiGVo8I trailer]]), and ''Manga/WatashiNiXXShinasai'' ([[https://natalie.mu/comic/news/287320 trailer]]).

The Wall Pin of Love is a very popular staple in [[ShoujoDemographic Shojo]] and [[YaoiGenre Yaoi]] romance. Many news outlets have reported that it is the "ideal" scenario for many Japanese women. Despite this, the Wall Pin of Love can lead to UnfortunateImplications because the emotional and physical intimidation is common in domestic abuse. Because of how frequent and popular it is in Eastern works, there may be ValuesDissonance involved in how it's accepted. People in the West are more likely to see the Wall Pin of Love as anything but romantic.

* In the ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' expansion Battle for Azeroth, the out-of-game cinematic [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKZ7ygLTR0g Lost Honor]] includes the orc Varok Saurfang performing an intimidating wall punch beside the head of human King Anduin Wrynn, who has come to speak to him in his prison cell.

This trope is better known to the Japanese public as the "kabe don" (wall pound). It's when a character (usually AlwaysMale, at least in heterosexual pairings) physically corners a LoveInterest using the body to block any chance of escape. It's often accompanied with a "BAM!" sound effect from pounding the wall (the "don" in kabe don). The Wall Pin Of Love is often PlayedForDrama and [[UnresolvedSexualTension increases tension]] between the characters. It may be given with an AnguishedDeclarationOfLove or a ForcefulKiss from the person doing the Wall Pin. May also lead to WallBangHer. A well-known parody of this originating in the Japanese Twitterverse was known as the [[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/cicada-block "semi don"]] (cicada block), uses ''[[UpToEleven both arms and legs]], and was subject to much MemeticMutation.

* ''[[https://st-noix.jp/irisquartz/category/series/kabedon/ Kabe Don! SONGS ♪]]'' is a whole ''[[UpToEleven series]]'' of albums that combine SerenadeYourLover and this trope. The premise for the series has the boys interact with the object of their affections until the Slam, and then the boys sing a song to them that conveys their feelings and is meant to [[SeductionLyric seduce them]]. It has a naughtier sister series, the ''Yuka Don! SONGS ♪'', which have the serenades take place as the singers [[IntercourseWithYou pin their lover]] [[SeductionLyric to the floor]].
