Bob and Alice meet in secret for a night of passion. Bob draws Alice close, kisses her deeply and... BLAM! Alice slumps down dead with Bob holding up a previously hidden pistol. She's just been on the receiving end of a Deadly Hug. A sudden gunshot is the most common, but a stab is not unheard of. When a bad guy does this, it's usually during The Reveal that they're evil. When a good guy does it, it tends to be a Mercy Kill. A horror variant has the hugger turn into a monster in mid-hug and crush the victim. Subtrope of Died in Your Arms Tonight. If the killer had some genuine affection for the victim, this may segue into Cradling Your Kill and/or Pietà Plagiarism. May be the result of a Cooldown Hug gone wrong. Expect Mortal Wound Reveal to occur after the hug. For a hug which is accidentally deadly, see Does Not Know His Own Strength or And Call Him "George". If the hug itself is what's deadly, see Killer Bear Hug. As a Death Trope, all Spoilers will be unmarked ahead. Beware. |

Parodied in one episode of El ChapulÃn Colorado where he retells his own version of the story of Samson and Delilah. A female slave makes a wig with the hair they cut off so he can put it on and regain his Super-Strength. The slave declares she's "Loyal to him until her death". Samson promptly hugs her, and she drops dead. He says "Effectively, loyal until her death". | |

Battle Chess: This occurs when a King or Queen captures the opposing piece. In the case of a checkmate delivered by the Queen, she stabs him in the back with a concealed dagger. In the case of a King capturing the Queen, she tries the same stab but is knocked down by the King with his scepter before she can pull it off. A checkmate by Queen in 4000 has her give a back-breaking one to the King while getting kissed under his spell. She just laughs it off when she comes to. |

Bleach: Hinamori hugs Aizen, who had faked his death earlier, talking about how much she missed and admired him. His response is that admiration is the furthest thing from understanding, and he stabs her through the chest and almost kills her. She physically heals well thanks to Unohana, but it takes her a LONG time to emotionally and mentally bring herself back. | |

Played with in Lou. The title character is fighting in the surf with her estranged and insane son, only to end up hugging him. While doing so she sees the CIA Black Helicopter she's deliberately drawn there flying towards them, and apologizes before it riddles them both with bullets. Lou's wearing a Bulletproof Vest so she uses this to fake her death. | |

Non-fatal variant in Inuyasha The Movie Affections Touching Across Time. A mind-controlled Kagome hugs/falls into Inuyasha's arms, which leads him to assume that she was worried about him. He apologizes for scaring her, she whispers "r-run... away..." and then stabs him in the chest with acid fingernails. He survives, of course, but what follows is a ten-minute long Curb-Stomp Battle which ends with Inuyasha getting shot to a tree again. | |

There are several variations on this trope involving vampires (or other monsters): the 1979 television adaptation of 'Salem's Lot uses at least one near the end, as Ben leans down to kiss his former girlfriend, Susan, but then stakes her through the heart before she can bite him. | |

Forever Knight: A double version happens when the Villain of the Week is a Femme Fatale who enjoys inciting men into committing crimes. In the Action Prologue she smooches a lover who has just stolen money from his workplace, only for him to be garotted by another of her lovers, who then gets stabbed by her during their smooch. Nick Knight can't hug or kiss a woman without the risk of it turning into this. This is what causes the Downer Ending of the series, when he's finally convinced to give Natalie the Kiss of the Vampire, only to end up draining her when he loses control. |

Higurashi: When They Cry: This is done to Keiichi in the Watanagashi-hen and Meakashi-hen arcs by Shion-pretending-to-be-Mion. Both times, Keiichi survives the stabbing. Thi is done in the ending of the Onisarashi-hen manga arc by Natsumi to Akira. Akira doesn't die, though. Rena attempted a Cool-Down Hug in Onikakushi-hen, but Keiichi was too far-gone in his Sanity Slippage for it to work. He thought Rena and Mion were trying to kill him, so he killed them first in what he thought was self-defense. |

Undertale - heavily implied during the battle with Sans, at the end of the genocide run. Halfway through the fight, Sans will fake you out with a touching speech about your lost friendship and offer you a hug. If you accept, there is a brief delay, a black screen, a "hurt" sound effect, and then Sans ruthlessly mocks you over the top of the game over screen. | |

In Soul Eater this is how Tsubaki kills her (evil) brother. Although it's approaching it from the other direction; until that point she was unwilling to attack him (even though he was more than willing to kill her and eat her soul to copy her alternative forms for himself) and it's more of a hug while she's attacking him than a bluff of any sort. This shows him that she really cared about him and wasn't pitying him when they were kids (It Makes Sense in Context) and he dies, allowing her to take his soul and gain his powers. | |

Archer: This is how Conway Stern betrays Archer, stabbing him in the back during a manly hug. The titular assassin in "Dingo, Baby, et cetera", a.k.a. Archer's old flame Reiko, attempts this on Archer, luring him in with a kiss before stabbing him in the side. Fortunately, Archer was prepared for her, and shoots the Dingo with the gun hidden in his cane. |

Star Trek: A very unusual variant appears in the Star Trek: The Original Series episode "The City on the Edge of Forever". Captain Kirk kills Edith Keeler by hugging not her but Dr. McCoy, thus stopping McCoy from pushing Keeler out of the way of a car. It's poignant because Kirk loved Keeler, but she was going to unintentionally destroy the Enterprise, not to mention plunge the world into a Nazi dark age. Star Trek: Enterprise. In the Mirror Universe where Klingon Promotion is a way of life, Ensign Hoshi tries to stab Captain Archer while snogging him; Archer grabs the knife before it descends without breaking his liplock. |

The protagonist can do this in one of the endings of Fatal Hearts - walking into the embrace of someone who believes her to be his long-lost-love reborn, and then ripping his heart out. Actually, several endings can be seen as this, as well as the woman Sebastien killed in the past. Romancing a vampire is apparently the best way to get close enough to kill them. |

In Chernobyl Lyudmila hugs her husband Vasily who’d been one of the fire fighters at the explosion even though the doctors told her not to touch him. He was feeling fine at that point but by that evening he took a turn for the worse and it became obvious he was going to die. She also lied to the nurse about being pregnant when asked. She survived the exposure but the baby died a few hours after birth from radiation poisoning. | |

In Drowtales, Jer'kol attempts to smother Ariel with a hug but is stopped by Vaelia. Earlier, when Mel hugs Ariel, Ariel thinks this is what will happen, because she has been told Mel is Axe-Crazy. However, Mel may be a Crazy Cat Lady, but her affection for Ariel is entirely genuine. |

Doctor Who: Done in "The Pandorica Opens" by an unwilling Manchurian Agent replicant of Rory to Amy, who refuses to flee despite his increasingly desperate warnings. In "The Doctor Falls", Missy does this to her predecessor, the Harold Saxon version of the Master. She pulls him into a hug, telling him how much she enjoyed being him, and she'll always cherish those memories. Then they pull away, and attention is drawn to the fresh wound in his back and the knife hidden in her sleeve. To his credit, Saxon compliments her on the move. |

Battlestar Galactica (2003): After finding out their daughter is alive on a Cylon basestar, Helo does this to his Cylon wife Sharon, shooting her after she pleads that her death and resurrection is the only way to get on board the vessel. The shock effect is because the audience comes in in the middle of the conversation, so we don't realise what it's about until the gunshot. Saul Tigh, leader of La Résistance on New Caprica, feels compelled to do this to his wife when it's revealed that she aided the Cylons holding them captive, resulting in the deaths of several Resistance fighters. In a rare bloodless example of this trope, Saul hugs his wife after she drinks a cup of coffee that he poisoned, holding her until well after she dies. It's a moving scene, and it marks a major Despair Event Horizon for his character. (Though considering her "charming" personality, one wonders if Saul hadn't appreciated the irony of that particular method of execution...) |

Oz. When prison guard-turned murderer Clayton Hughes takes over the solitary wing and declares himself "President of Huru", Warden Glynn (who regards Hughes as a surrogate son) goes in alone to try and talk him down. Hughes promises to give himself up if Glenn hugs him "like you did when I was a child". Glenn does so and nearly gets stabbed in the back by Hughes, his life only being saved by an inmate seeking the Warden's favour. Clayton, however, gets fatally stabbed by his own blade during the struggle. | |
