Some characters just really can't seem to express their attraction in a normal way. This character chooses to showcase their affection through acts of physical violence. Often brutally and bloodily. Frequently these characters are presented as Cute and Psycho. Not exclusively romantic, though it usually is.
Typically an extreme form of Belligerent Sexual Tension and Loving Bully. If played seriously, this may quickly devolve into Domestic Abuse, while if Played for Laughs, it tends to end in over-the-top slapstick comedy. If played sexily, this character is often a Fetishized Abuser. Regardless — especially if the character in question is female — expect a lot of Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male.
This character may be a Yandere if they target their violence at others as well, out of jealousy or possessiveness. Frequently also a Tsundere, on the far end of the "Spicy" side of the spectrum. If caught between two of these characters, you've found yourself in a Psychotic Love Triangle.
See also Sex Is Violence, In Love with Your Carnage, Destructive Romance, Hemo Erotic, Love Makes You Crazy, Slap-Slap-Kiss, and Love Makes You Evil. Compare Destructo-Nookie and Interplay of Sex and Violence. For cases where the harm was unintentional, see And Call Him "George". See also Consuming Passion where love, sex, and wanting to eat someone alive are treated interchangeably.
Due to the subject matter, No Real Life Examples, Please!

Exaggerated in Destiny and Destiny 2: among the Hive, love and violence are considered the same concept. Their gods, possessed of Resurrective Immortality, delighted in waging war and killing each other over and over again to affirm their bond as siblings. This is used to demonstrate both how twisted their worldview is and, tragically, how genuinely they loved each other.

In Venus Puts Fur On Me, it's heavily implied that Shirosaki Hana's sadistic behavior towards Nakajima is her trying to process a crush towards him.

Sam & Max: Max uses violence to express a lot of things, and one of them is love, which is best exemplified by the conversation he has with Sam in "Moai Better Blues" about their office punching bag.

The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You: Karane routinely expresses affection by attacking Rentarou in some way, ranging from jamming food into his face to outright slugging him. She mentions at one point that she once put him in a full-body cast in a fit of embarrassment.

In the Discworld, courtship between Trolls takes this form. Trolls are a very physical race made out of animate stone; a Troll girl wants to know if her desired male is capable of hitting her so hard with a thrown rock note It must be an attractively patterned rock, ideally studded with nice veining or semi-precious stones that she is stunned, if not knocked out. In return, she punches him as hard as she can. Then romance continues in an appropriate physical manner.

Fun and Fancy Free: A major plot point in Bongo is that the titular character, a bear raised in the circus, is unaware that wild bears express love by slapping each other. Thus, when Lulubelle tries to declare her love for him with a smack, poor Bongo thinks she's turned on him and leaves brokenhearted, only realizing when he sees a party of bears slapping each other silly to a song.

Ennui GO!: Calixta, while otherwise being a Shrinking Violet, expresses affection via painful yet otherwise harmless acts of violence (mostly punches and wrestling moves). Her boyfriend Max tends to just treat this as a random quirk of hers, though to be fair, it's far from the weirdest thing in the comic.

Star Trek: Klingons are known to get rather violent in their courtship rituals. Post-coital trips to the Infirmary are not uncommon, and a broken clavicle on the wedding night is considered to be a blessing on the marriage.

Liliom: Liliom is a poor barker who marries Julie but gets into violent arguments with her. When he dies trying to steal enough money to support their coming child, he is sent to purgatory, but given a chance to see his daughter sixteen years later. When Louise rejects his gift, not knowing he's her father, he slaps her, seeming to doom him to Hell. However, before he is sentenced, Louise is then seen telling her mother that Liliom's slap felt like a kiss. She asks if it is possible to receive a slap that does not hurt at all. Julie, knowing exactly who she's talking about, says yes, and it is declared that it was Liliom's love for his daughter that miraculously stopped the slap from hurting, redeeming him and sending him to heaven. note  This and Carousel are based on the same Hungarian play, which has much more of a Downer Ending.

This is the main premise of Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chan, where the titular main character is sent to kill the male lead. She doesn't want to kill him, as she falls in love with him. Unfortunately for him, she can only express this love by beating him senseless and reviving him to do it all over again.

Bob's Burgers: It's a bit of a Running Gag of Louise to slap people she has a crush on. In "Boyz 4 Now", she gets a Celebrity Crush on Boo Boo and becomes determined to smack him. When she meets him again in "Bye-Bye Boo Boo", she gives him another slap, which instantly causes him to remember her. And as a possible Call-Back to this, when she gets to kiss Rudy in "Bob Actually", she slaps him too.

Little Shop of Horrors: A cut song, "The Worse He Treats Me", would have discussed and parodied this trope, as Audrey discusses her relationship with her abusive boyfriend Orin, taking his beatings as a sign of love. The song was meant to show more of Audrey's self-loathing mindset than Orin's actual affection, but the writers realized the song was in poor taste regardless and cut it.

Carousel: Billy Bigelow and Julie Jordan love each other passionately, but their romance costs them both their jobs, and not long into their marriage, Billy has begun to hit his wife. Hoping to provide for their future child, he ends up dying in a botched robbery, but is given the chance to visit his daughter Louise many years later on her graduation day. When Louise rejects his help and his gift, not knowing he's her father, he slaps her. Louise tells her mother that Billy's slap felt like a kiss, not a blow. She asks if that's possible, and Julie understands, realizing it was Billy. note  This and Liliom are based on the same Hungarian play, which has much more of a Downer Ending.
