* ''Manga/GokinjoMonogatari'': A kiss directly follows a bitchslap, which [[{{Tsundere}} the heroine]] gives her somewhat tactless lover.

Compare ShutUpKiss, LoveAtFirstPunch, BelligerentSexualTension, PowerDynamicsKink, TakeThatKiss, VitriolicBestBuds, and DestructoNookie. Often considered in similar terms to FoeRomanceSubtext. {{Tsundere}}s are often involved on at least one end.

This causes Steve to admit that he's scared of losing Sharon and the two have sex.

* ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade'' has a classic example of this: Indy and Elsa are arguing. Indy goes on about how "Since I met you, I've nearly been incinerated, drowned, shot at, and chopped into fish bait" blah blah, then Elsa ''pulls Indy into a kiss'' then, to his confusion, yells at him for it before kissing him again. [[spoiler:Considering she's actually TheMole, it seems like she's done her research about the [[Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk other]] [[Film/IndianaJonesAndTheTempleOfDoom women]] he's been in relationships with and thus based her seduction on it.]]
