I dunno, I absolutely classify groping unconscious women as "rape."

I agree, but for me it is more of the context and tone of the series. As I said, there is a lot of humor like this in Dragon Ball, at least early on. So, I don't know how to feel about calling the scene in question Attempted Rape. Especially since it opens the door to other such tropes because of the sexualize humor in the first story arcs.

If nothing else, "ruin accidentally" needs to be "accidentally ruin" because grammar.

Attempted Rape might be pushing where the scene intended to go, but that sort of thing is never, ever appropriate. Is there a related trope that'll work.

I was wondering that too. I personally think the trope is too strong and serious for the subject matter since rape should never be portrayal as play for laughs. That is really my major issue with it.
