Basic Trope: Someone is kicked in the groin: Everyone else winces.
- Straight: Hiro is punched in the crotch, and the rest of the Five-Man Band wince in sympathy and reflexively cover their crotches.
- Exaggerated:
- God is punched in the crotch by Hiro: everyone else on the planet winces in sympathy.
- One man gets kicked in the crotch and somehow almost every single man winces in sympathy, even those who are on the other side of Earth and therefore didn't see what happened.
- Downplayed:
- Everyone looks a bit worried for a second after Hiro is kicked in the crotch but nobody covers theirs.
- Evulz breaks off the member of an anatomically correct statue, Hiro cringes, recognizing it as a threat.
- Justified:
- Hiro is The Empath and tends to project his feelings whenever highly stressed, in pain or whatever: this is one of those instances.
- Everyone is worried about receiving a similar blow.
- They've all had similar injuries before. Seeing it happen to Hiro brings back the memories.
- Inverted: Stablockey moans in pleasure after watching Hiro be punched in the crotch.
- Gender Inverted:
- Ichigo got kicked in the breast: the rest of the Five-Man Band wince in sympathy and reflexively cover their chests.
- The Heroine Alice, gets kicked in the crotch, the rest of the Amazon Brigade wince in sympathy as most (if not, all) of them reflexively cover their crotch.
- Subverted: Hiro is punched in the crotch, and the group's reaction is just to chuckle softly.
- Double Subverted: Until Ichigo tries to apply first aid to the wounded location and they all see how bad the damage really was.
- Parodied:
- Hiro’s sword is broken by Emperor Evilz: the rest of the party wince, shiver and carefully nurse their own weapons of choice.
- Alice kicks Bob in the crotch, and almost immediately afterwards clutches her own in sympathy.
- Zig Zagged:
- Sometimes they wince in sympathy, sometimes they don't.
- Some of the Five-Man Band wince in pain, some don't react at all.
- Averted:
- No-one obviously reacts when Hiro is hit in the crotch.
- Everyone else is too busy battling and did not see Emperor Evilz's kick to Hiro's crotch.
- Enforced: ???
- Lampshaded:
- “That's gotta hurt.”
- “Hide your crotch or you’re next!”
- Invoked: “A1-IC3” sympathetically covers her crotch when Hiro is hit, in order to better mimic human behavior.
- Exploited: Alice find Emperor Evilz and kicks him in the crotch insanely hard, knowing that his army of Mooks will be too busy covering their own crotches and whimpering to be of any threat.
- Defied: “Man up, ya wuss.”
- Discussed: “Do you guys always flinch when that happens?”
- Conversed: “…eeesh. I totally agree with them, that hurt.”
- Played for Drama: Hiro's team ends up captured as they were too busy covering their crotches.
Wince in sympathy and limp back to Share the Male Pain.
