One of the few ways to indicate that you are a badass or at least hellishly ambitious is to fold your arms straight in front of your opposition. When you see one doing such a pose, you know that they are badass or remarkably powerful, or so calm that they have the situation under control or at least harbor great ambition. It is also a symbol of cockiness. Bonus points if they have impressive muscles. So basically, if you see people folding their arms, this is a good indication to see that they are badass. Even if they're not, they're still showing determination, stubbornness or toughness. Note that crossing arms below the ribcage speaks a whole other body language, and involves bringing shoulders forward defensively. This tends to denote sulkiness or defensiveness. To cross arms over your chest, one must spread shoulders back, which juts out the chest and straightens the spine, making the figure stand slightly taller, and raises the chin. It's also "closed off" body language, indicating resistance to influence. Each of these elements alone convey confidence, the total posture sums them up to a Badass Arm-Fold. If you wanted to add, say, the Kubrick Stare you would have to consciously lower the chin, but this tends to net more badass points than it gives away. This trope goes excellently with Multi-Armed and Dangerous, although more than six arms tends to ruin the effect. This can be one of the Modeling Poses if the product is meant to convey strength and determination. See also Reverse Arm-Fold (this pose's more laid-back cousin) and Dynamic Akimbo. Sometimes combined with Dramatic High Perching. Often leads to Rebel Relaxation, but this is when they aren't leaning. Among Anime fans, this is known as the "Gainax Pose" because so many badass Gainax characters used it (including the page image). |

The Mighty Thor does this (or something very similar) when he is facing down Tony Stark on the subject of Ragnarok and the superhuman registration act. Tony wildly underestimates how powerful Thor actually is, and hits him with the full power of his repulsors when Thor refuses to play ball. When the dust clears, Thor is shown unharmed, and a mix of angry and disappointed with Tony. He then proceeds to beat the crap out of Tony while chiding him for not acting as a friend should. | |

Lyrical Nanoha: Voltaire of has a tendency to do this, as shown during the final mission in Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS. Considering its size and black color scheme, maybe it's a subtle Gunbuster reference? Dearche, the Large Ham leader of the Dark Materials in Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha INNOCENT, does this pose so often that even the Super-Deformed computer-controlled avatar based on her does it when it's on standby. |

Lordgenome from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann pilots his mecha this way. Also how the SuperGalaxy Gurren Lagann is introduced, in a GunBuster homage. Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann also does the pose. This pose is Kamina's default stance when he's not sitting down, or in his heaven piercing pose. Not to mention what Simon does in what's arguably the most famous scene. Exaggerated in the finale with the entire cast pulling this as Simon saves Nia from the Anti-Spiral. Then in the second movie: this is the pose first assumed by the Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (a Humongous Mecha just over half the size of the universe) in the film's climax. |

Naruto has a habit of doing this when he's feeling particularly confident, or after having accomplished a Big Damn Heroes moment. This is often Gaara's default position. Justified, as his absolute sand defense and sand armor prevent much of anything from touching him. Madara in the Fourth Great Shinobi War also holds this as his default stance when he's not in combat. He also enters this when using his Susano'o, as he no longer needs to move his body at all to fight. |

Supergirl does this every so often. In the Red Daughter of Krypton arc, in which she was a Kryptonian Red Lantern (one of the most obscenely overpowered possible combinations in The DCU), she did this pose several times. One of those times happened during a battle: she flew in the battlefield, punched an enemy across the city, folded her arms and glared. In Elseworld's Finest: Supergirl & Batgirl, Supergirl crossed her arms across her chest when she confronted Batgirl for first time. Captain Marvel and Big Barda also do this when they argue with Batgirl after arriving on Gotham. In Convergence #6, pre-Crisis Kara folds her arms as she stares down at the enemy army◊. In Many Happy Returns, Kara folds her arms across her chest and stares Rebel down after warning that if he attacks her, she will hurt him. |

Izumi and Sig Curtis from Fullmetal Alchemist. Ed does it a few times when he's sulking, but he's still just as badass as the others. Special mention goes to Greed/Ling (Greed being dominant) while he descents slowly in the elevator of the government's central building; about to destroy the Amestris' soldiers below. |

Dragon Ball: Many rival characters are very prone of this. Namely, Tenshinhan, Piccolo, Vegeta, Hit, and Jiren. All of them are also very serious dudes. Vegetto combines this with Extremity Extremist. Freeza and Cell. The former combines this with Extremity Extremist on one occasion, too, until he loses his cool. Among the spectators of the Tournament of Power, some of the cooler Gods of Destruction, e.g. Bermod and Geene do this a lot. Piccolo often stands like this, usually adding Badass Cape on top of it. |

The title mecha of GunBuster is famous for it. GunBuster is associated with this trope enough that anime fans tend to refer to it, when combined with the proper leg positioning and facing forward, as the Gunbuster Pose. Which is a case of Parody Displacement. Gunbuster is a mish-mash of references to Kamen Rider and other super robots, with that pose being a nod to the signature pose of Getter Dragon. | |

Several characters from Yu-Gi-Oh!, especially Yami Yugi, Seto Kaiba and Yami Marik, all of them do this most of the time. The three of them do it even on the same screen once (and Jonouchi being only one on the screen who doesn't do it). The Machine-Type Monster Jinzo is usually seen doing this. |

Mazinger Z: Kouji Kabuto sometimes does this. A good example in an episode in which Mazinger-Z is nearly completely depleted from energy during a battle, the control deck is smoking and giving off sparks due to the strain, the weapons don't work, Prof. Yumi is ordering — repeatedly — for Kouji to retreat because he'll die otherwise... and Kouji simply folds his arms across his chest as he calmly waits for one chance to blast the Beast down! It is hard to convey how badass he seemed right then. | |

Subverted in the OVA of Super Robot Wars Original Generation. Only Lamia Loveless have the gall to wait for an exhibition to begin all while folding her arms in front of her.

Kratos Aurion in Tales of Symphonia does this quite often. Succeeding him in Tales of Xillia and Tales of Xillia 2 is Gaius, who's almost always doing this when he's idle. He even does it in battle while he's participating in Rowen's Dual Capriccio link arte (Which has him take a short ride atop a magically produced air glider). The rest of the cast lampshade this and one victory pose even has a few of them copying him while he looks on in bafflement. Yuri Lowell from Tales of Vesperia does this in a skit pose. |

Kira Daidouji from Arcana Heart is also highly ambitious and condescending and her fighting stance has her striking this pose. Her ambitions comes from her desire to, you guessed it, Take Over the World. | |

It's Disgaea's very own main character's default pose. Laharl seems to be quite aware of its indication, as the trope description suits him really well. Kurtis is doing one in his Disgaea 3 and 4 character portrait, and in his cut-in portraits starting from 2. Despite being a Prinny, it's still effective. |

In the Touhou Project fighting games, this is the neutral stance of Gensokyo's resident Time Master Ninja Maid, Sakuya. Considering she is a walking Dio Brando reference, it makes sense. Amusingly, it's also the neutral stance of the fairy Cirno; no doubt an attempt to look stronger than she is. | |

Final Fantasy: Vincent Valentine from Final Fantasy VII frequently poses like this. Montblanc from Final Fantasy XII always does this fold. If not he only lets his arms open for a few seconds, then he does it back. He is The Captain of Clan Centurio after all... And in Final Fantasy X, both Kimahri and Bahamut, a seven-foot-tall lion-man and a twelve-foot tall metallic dragon respectively, do this when standing in place, radiating Badassery. Wakka too, sometimes. Kain from Final Fantasy IV does this for his Victory Pose in Dissidia Duodecim. |

Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger: Captain Marvelous' default stance. Leads to a great moment in the first episode: Everything is exploding, the scenery is falling apart, and the rest of the team is ducking for cover. Marvelous? Standing unfazed, not giving a damn. The SH Figuarts figure of Gokai Red even comes with the option to replace his poseable arms with folded ones. | |

In the Red Daughter of Krypton arc, in which she was a Kryptonian Red Lantern (one of the most obscenely overpowered possible combinations in The DCU), she did this pose several times.

Commonly done by Superman, who stands and/or floats with arms crossed with a derisive look on his face after his opponent's attacks have failed to even make him flinch. Also done whenever he's chiding a crook for acting like a Jerkass, usually with a "I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed" attitude. Being Superman, this is really effective. | |

Treecko/Grovyle/Sceptile does this often in ''Pokémon: The Series' (and man is it badass). Ash's Buizel has this, no matter if it's serious or relaxed. Ash's Infernape can be seen in this pose while taking a picture with Ash and the rest of his Pokémon at the end of Best Wishes!. This is pretty much the default pose (and cover image) of Ash's Greninja whether he's in battle or not or if he's transformed into Ash-Greninja, though when he drops this pose, this lets one know things are about to hit the fan. When she learns Surf in SM099, Lana's Popplio has one while she and Nagisa are riding on it. In Pokémon Adventures, all of Chuck's Pokemon (And Chuck himself) do this, even while fighting. They're quite badass too. |

Dynamis from Negima! fights in that position. He still has two hands free, though. | |

Star Trek: Voyager. In "Distant Origin", Captain Janeway tells her alien captor to hold onto something as his spaceship is about to be attacked. He defiantly does this trope instead. His confidence is justified when the attack is a No-Sell. Subverted when the holographic Doctor does this in "Revulsion". It just leaves the mobile emitter on his shoulder exposed to a blind swipe, shutting down his program when it's struck. |

Ryu from Street Fighter gives us the classic 'wind blowing' win pose, which involves this. M. Bison is also fond of this pose, as is Sagat. Starting with later games, Akuma has picked up the habit as well. | |

In The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, on those occasions when Lord Foul takes on a physical or partially physical form, his default pose is generally to stand with his arms folded while regarding his enemies with profound contempt. | |

Ansem (or Xehanort's Heartless) has this as his battle pose in the Kingdom Hearts series, mainly because he lets his Guardian Heartless do all the work. His previous persona Terra-Xehanort also had a badass arm-fold. To add they also both examples of Power Floats. | |

There's two variants of this in City of Heroes. Your character does this during his/her/its idle animation every cycle. The other is a slightly wicked take, with your legs together and your character staring slightly downward. Look GREAT if you're hovering! It fits, because you play as a Comic-Book style Superhero. | |

In Sailor Moon, Tuxedo Mask often does this as he delivers his pre-battle speeches. Makoto and Rei also demonstrate this. | |

EXTRAPOWER: Giant Fist: Not only does World's Strongest Man Zophy do this regularly throughout the story, but he can be made to do this during gameplay with a simple button combination, for no benefit but that it looks cool. | |

Saint Seiya: Taurus Aldebaran in the original series and the Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas spin-off. He even fights multiple opponents (and wins!) in this position. This is the signature stance of Harbinger, Aldebaran, Rasgado and Ox; all different incarnations of the Taurus Saint. |
