Suikawari in Japanese. A party game, usually in the Beach Episode of Japanese media, where someone is blindfolded, given a large stick (possibly a bokken or wooden sword), and directed to smash/crack a watermelon. Similar to hitting a piñata in some Western cultures, except without any goodies other than sandy watermelon. One of the traditional summer beach activities in Japan, at least until environmental and economic concerns made it rather less popular. Common variations: Someone else (usually the Unlucky Everydude) is buried up to his neck in sand, and the watermelon is placed next to him. The people guiding the blindfolded one intentionally directs him/her towards the Unlucky Everydude. The watermelon smasher is a sword expert (Kid Samurai, Heir to the Dojo), and slices the watermelon perfectly. The watermelon is destroyed by some other means, to the surprise and consternation of the other participants. This sort of twist plays with the fact that watermelons are freaking expensive in Japan, having a price range from 30 to 150 dollars. Not to be confused with the band The Smashing Pumpkins — but it is the stunt that dead-ended Gallagher's comedy career. |

Haruka Nogizaka's Secret: While Yuuto and Haruka try to teach Shiina to swim at the school pool, the side characters suddenly turn up for no reason and act like they're at the beach. A watermelon is produced, Ninja Maid Hazuki is blindfolded and given a baseball bat, and she promptly breaks the bat trying to hit Yuuto. Later, a straight version of the trope is used during the actual Beach Episode. |

Done several times in Ranma ½. Ranma was once forced to participate in a Martial Arts Watermelon Splitting contest in the manga, in which the participants must race to the finish line with their watermelon intact to win, while trying to break each others' watermelons with a bokken. Tatewaki Kunō once turned this game into Training from Hell. He stood under a waterfall on the originally named Watermelon Island, and smashed every watermelon that fell off the waterfall towards him. A watermelon to the head gave him Easy Amnesia, but the training worked — whenever he saw a watermelon, his speed and strength would increase tenfold, allowing him to easily defeat his rival Ranma, who was unfortunately wearing a watermelon-print bathing suit. His new watermelon-slicing skills also made him a hit with ladies. He retained the skill afterward, but his training is a subliminal conditioning to destroy watermelons. It's absolutely useless unless his opponent is holding or otherwise resembling a watermelon, something that Ranma is well aware of. In fact, Kunō himself knows that the Watermelon Island training is useless for combat — he never intended for it to be any use in combat (being so egotistic that he already considers himself unbeatable): he wanted to upgrade his talents at slicing watermelons in order to impress girls, particularly Ranma's girl-form. |

Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out!: During the Beach Episode, Shinichi is roped into doing this, and while blindfolded Hana decides to mess with him by giving him videogame codes rather than directing him properly. It backfires on her when Shinichi, fed up with her antics, tries to reach out with his hands (still blindfolded) and falls on top of her, getting a handful of a different kind of melon. | |

Done in Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, to show how utterly great Princess Classic Nia is at everything. Also played with somewhat: the dark stripes on the melon are actually an octopus-like creature's tentacles and it tries to dodge out of the way. |

Iron Man 2: Tony Stark decides to wear his Power Armor at his birthday party. He starts off trick-shooting thrown bottles, but when one of his guests comes jogging up with a watermelon, he gleefully remarks, "I think she wants the Gallagher!" before blasting it with the Uni-beam. His friends are not amused — because he is very drunk. | |

Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu: Sousuke's classmates try to set this up for him. He marches off some distance away, discards the wooden stick, and blows the watermelon away with a shotgun, hitting it dead on... but too bad it was the one sitting next to Kaname, spraying her with watermelon juice even though she chose her swimsuit specifically to show off to him. She's not amused. In the first FMP series, Handsome Lech Kurz Weber starts hitting on Kaname at the beach whereupon Melissa Mao forcibly plants a watermelon on top of his head. Then Kyoko comes up and hits it with a stick. |

In the manga of Strawberry Marshmallow, Nobue calls it part of Matsuri's challenge, and spins her around... but Matsuri gets dizzy and falls down. Chika is somehow talked into giving it a go, but Miu guides her to a grilled corn vendor. In the anime, Miu is buried up to her neck as punishment for undoing Nobue's top, and an unwitting Ana is guided to her head... though Ana hears Miu and doesn't hit her. | |

Azumanga Daioh: In the first Beach Episode, they don't have a stick and Tomo tries to split it with a karate chop. She never manages to hit it. The second time around, Tomo ignores that they have a bat, and Kagura takes the bat and splits the watermelon before Tomo can put everyone through the karate chop debacle again. Tomo whines about it for a bit afterwards, and Kagura tells her to grow up. In the manga's third one, they don't have a watermelon, and Tomo hunts desperately for something to smash. | |

Steven Universe: Used in a Stealth Pun in "Beach Party": a puffer fish-monster with a green and pink color scheme gets crushed during a beach party, and Word of God says it was once a Crystal Gem named Watermelon Tourmaline. "Watermelon Steven" has Steven inadvertently growing a grove of watermelons with previously unknown Green Thumb powers shaped like him. They become animate, but act in his defense outside of his control, leading to the Gems fighting off an army on the beach and eventually losing. They specifically smash into slices, rather than pulp. |

In the "Far Side of the Sea" event for Girls' Frontline, Five-seveN talks SPAS-12 into doing this blindfolded and with an axe, instead of simply divvying and sharing the watermelon the latter brought. Unbeknownst to them, the watermelon was placed a palm's length away from the Commander's head, as M37 and M1 Garand had previously buried them there. Needless to say, SPAS-12 came dangerously close to being an accidental Hero Killer. | |

Dropkick on My Devil; Yurine catches Jashin teasing Kori and declares that they're going to smash a melon, but since they already cut up their melon they'll have to use something else. In this case, she buries Jashin up to her neck in sand and then blindfolds her before handing Kori the stick, which she freezes into a BFS before approaching Jashin. Jashin is able to buy herself a little time by detecting something out in the water, but while the other girls go to see what it is Kori cleaves Jashin's head in half (she gets better eventually). | |

The Hydraulic Press Channel has at least two variations: A fairly straight example can be seen here, in which the creator Lauri Vuohensilta crushes several different types of fruit with his press, with watermelon being the first to be crushed. A less typical example is here, in which Vuohensilta rigs a hydraulic press to create a jet of water that easily tears through a watermelon. |

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime; in the "Slime Diaries" spinoff's Beach Episode, Rimuru sets up a melon and has Shion take the first swing. Shion uses an extra sense she normally uses to detect Rimuru when he's in slime form, then summons her BFS before making the strike. The result is a massive crater where the melon used to be and all the others covered in small bits of melon while Shion looks around in confusion. | |

Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid: Kanna does this during an anime-only segment. Of course, Kanna is a dragon with Super-Strength, so she ends up vaporizing the melon and splattering the remains all over Kobayashi and Shouta's faces. | |

Kamen Rider Gaim raises the scale quite a bit: Gaim's watermelon-themed Suika Arms starts off as an Indy-style giant ball, to which Kamen Rider Bravo responds by smashing it with a steel girder from a nearby construction site, causing it to split into nice, even slices...but it re-forms moments later, transforms into a Mini-Mecha, and lets Gaim utterly own Bravo. | |

In Mega Man X DiVE, Layer gets a bikini alternate variant. One of her standard attacks is called "Water Melon Slice", which is basically the same as her normal one but with water elemental damage. She actually smashes a watermelon in her character selection animation, and funnily enough, one event gives a watermelon skin to Chill Penguin as a boss to take it to even more literal levels. | |

In the manga of K-On!, a panel shows a blindfolded Mio chasing a terrified Ritsu as Yui points at the watermelon on the ground. In the anime adaptation of the same event, Mio's brought a watermelon over, and is saying that if they don't have fun, what was the point of coming... then she realizes why she had them go there in the first place. | |
