History Main / UnderwaterKiss

* An episode of the anime that Lt. Clouseaux was watching in the ''LightNovel/FullMetalPanic: The Second Raid'' OVA featured this... until Kurz got a hold of them and replaced them with footage of two pigs kissing. Clouseaux was [[BerserkButton NOT amused]].

** ''Anime/MacrossFrontier'' has the characters performing ''Zero'' example as a scene in a movie shoot, which is played up to be more romantic than the actual events. Alto (playing the part of Shin as a stunt double for the scene) and Ranka (playing the part of Mao) are very flustered by having to perform it and [[BigBrotherInstinct Ozma]] outright called the movie "tasteless". Having the movie version be romantic [[JustifiedTrope makes sense]] as it is apparently based off of ''Mao'''s diary, who, since she had a crush on said guy she gave the breath version to, would colour it in that regard.

* In the ''Manga/CaseClosed'' NonSerialMovie ''Anime/DetectiveConanFilm02TheFourteethTarget'', [[http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/File:Movie_2-5.jpg Ran shares a "breath of air"-type kiss with Conan to keep him from drowning]] when they're trapped underwater. [[HeroicSacrifice She herself almost drowns]], but the breath of air gives Conan the strength and the time to free them both and then reach for help. To add to the ShipTease, just before the kiss, oxygen deprivation causes Ran to hallucinate and see Conan as [[LoveInterests her beloved Shin’ichi]]... who he ''is'', but she doesn't know that. [[note]]There IS a bit of "actual kiss" subtext here, however: at the start of the movie Conan got a fortune saying "a chance for a kiss"...[[/note]]

* When [[WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures Shendu]] (who's [[DemonicPossession possessing]] Valmont's body at the time) is close drowning in ''Fanfic/TheUltimateEvil'', [[MoralityPet Valerie]] dives in for him and reinvigorates him this way. It should be noted that when he comes back to consciousness, she almost kisses him back in relief before she remembers that they have to get to the surface.

* There's one in ''Film/AcrossTheUniverse'', though it's during a DisneyAcidSequence with literal acid.

** This scene can stretch believability, as Conan initially gives Ran some air through an empty water bottle. [[ArtificialGill We see her breathing a bit]], but in reality, there likely [[SuperNotDrowningSkills would not have been enough air in the water bottle to give her enough air on a comfortable level]], let alone give Conan enough air to help her in the end, especially since most of the air likely would have been stale.

'''John:''' Once, when I was very young.

[[FunnyBackgroundEvent They can occasionally be seen in the background doing this for the remainder of the fight]].

* [[Franchise/{{Superman}} Clark Kent]] and Lori Lemaris had kissed a few times underwater. Clark can't drown and Lori's a mermaid so it makes sense.
