In Japan, the seiza (literally "correct sitting") position is a very formal kind of kneeling, sitting on your heels with big toes crossed. The position features heavily in tea ceremony, meditation, martial arts, and other formal rituals. This is not an easy position to get used to, and can become uncomfortable very quickly. In anime, a character's tolerance of seiza immediately separates those who possess charm and grace from those who merely want to show that they do. Any character who lacks sufficient natural dignity must then undergo a heroic battle not to squirm, fidget, or otherwise show any sign of the agony that he or she is in. Alternatively, the discomfort could be for… other reasons… This is sometimes used as (another) method to out the wannabe-ojou, while casting a quietly respectful light on another character. Note that in some martial arts such as iaijutsu, practitioners use a sort of half-seiza called tatehiza. While the left leg is in the full seiza position, the right leg is planted on the ground so the practitioner is on one knee. It allows for a quicker transition to standing. |

20th Century Boys: Shouhei Chouno is kneeling in front of the portrait of his legendary grandfather. He's been trying to follow in the grandfather's footsteps and has so far been a failure. He vows to keep trying, and starts to stand up to stride off dramatically, only to find that his legs have gone to sleep. | |

In the Ranma ½ manga and one of the OVAs, there is a form of martial arts called the Martial Arts Tea Ceremony, conducted entirely from seiza. Ranma-chan requires a ribbon tied around his/her ankles to stay that way for the entire fight. Played completely for laughs in a later episode, where the mere idea of the Iron Lady that directs the Martial Arts Tea Ceremony standing up from the seiza position terrifies everyone in the tea ceremony dojo... |

In Dual! Parallel Trouble Adventure, the Earth Defense Force's inexplicable Traditional Japanese Obaa-Sama at one point drags most of the main cast into some Flower Arrangement training on the reasoning that 'During times of war, it is doubly important to maintain a high level of culture'. The training includes sitting in Seiza, and while all the girls manage just fine, Ordinary High-School Student Kazuki almost instantly collapses as his feet fall asleep. Followed seconds later by Mad Scientist Ken Sanada. How Ken's daughter, Mitsuki, wound up being so comfortable with Seiza is somewhat of a mystery. The other two girls, however, are easily explained, since one of them is from an old Japanese family, and the other is an Alien Bioroid Energy Being Cloudcuckoo Lander, who most likely can't feel pain anyway. | |

When the title character of Hikaru no Go takes the exam to become an insei, his mother is convinced that he will fail, seeing that the boy "can't sit seiza for five minutes". Had seiza been a criteria for Go ability, she would have been right. Amusingly, he DOES wind up maintaining seiza for the duration of his exam - solely because he becomes so absorbed in the game that he forgets about the discomfort. Immediately after the game is over, he collapses from leg-cramps. |

Used in the Anpanman episode Tendonman and Chawanmushimaro. The Donburiman Trio, eager to get some of Chawanmushimaro's chawanmushi (well, mainly Katsudonman and Kamameshidon. Tendonman was the one that was actually invited.), sit in this position through one of Chawanmushimaro's poetry sessions. Chawanmushimaro's an expert at sitting like this, but the Donburiman Trio show absolute discomfort, wriggling their feet constantly. When Baikinman shows up, the trio jump up to run away...and promptly fall flat, forced to crawl and lay down to support themselves for a while. | |

Yet again in episode 18 of Tropical-Rouge! Pretty Cure. This time, it's Laura who suffers this trope during a tea ceremony class. She's a justified case because she's actually a mermaid, and it's her literal first full day with human legs as much as it is her first day at Aozora Middle School. | |

Skip Beat! has its protagonist, Kyoko Mogami, have worked in a ryokan since childhood and was trained in tea ceremony. As such, she's quite used to sitting in seiza and manages to remain graceful, even if her feet are falling asleep. This becomes particularly impressive when she substitutes an actress in a scene requiring seiza, but Kyoko has a sprained ankle at the time. She still sits in proper seiza and looks on serenly... until the pain gets so bad that she becomes catatonic and ends up fainting. | |

Pretty Cure: Happens to Erika in episode 7 of HeartCatch Pretty Cure!, as shown in the page image. Also, we have a brief moment like this in episode 5 of Smile Pretty Cure!. And again in episode 27 of Doki Doki! PreCure, with Mana and Makoto. Episode 16 of Kirakira Precure A La Mode has Ichika able to hold the pose, but she falls over right when she tries to stand up. Yet again in episode 18 of Tropical-Rouge! Pretty Cure. This time, it's Laura who suffers this trope during a tea ceremony class. She's a justified case because she's actually a mermaid, and it's her literal first full day with human legs as much as it is her first day at Aozora Middle School. |

Minor character Nitta-Sensei in Negima! Magister Negi Magi used seiza as a punishment while on a field trip. While some students took it better than others, he also punished one of his fellow teachers (the protagonist, none the less) along with the students on the basis that it appeared that said teacher was helping them break curfew. Apparently, if a co-worker lacks tenure, you get to do that sort of thing. note Said protagonist is also only ten years old. | |

Rurouni Kenshin once featured Himura Kenshin's legs going numb (and him falling to the side) during a rather long tea ceremony with Shinomori Aoshi. | |

Constellations: When Lung demands a meeting with the Miko of the Pawprint Shrine, Oni Lee arranges for Taylor to be taught a very formal tea ceremony for the occasion, a ceremony that will require Lung to remain in seiza position for four straight hours, on pain of doGly displeasure. Lung is unsure whether Oni Lee is indicating his displeasure at Lung's lack of respect for the Shrine or if Oni Lee simply didn't see a problem with this as he has frankly inhuman levels of patience. | |

In the first episode of FLCL, after hitting Naota, Haruko didn't squirm while in seiza, she rolled and slid around, seemingly at random. She also managed to maintain it perfectly, so even though she was freaking out trying to figure out what to do about running over Naota, she was doing it with style, dignity, and grace. | |
