This is a standard pose of a character (usually The Hero) raising one or both arms up, holding a sword or other weapon (or mundane item in spoofs) straight up over the head. Often this is done as a Victory Pose or used as a signal by a Screaming Warrior. Sometimes forms part of an Item Get! routine. This is also common in film posters, because it helps create a cool image. Often used as a way to thank whatever god lives in Heaven Above. A Sub-Trope of Rule of Cool (since this is just because it looks cool) and Garnishing the Story (since this pose is better than not having this pose). Compare Milking the Giant Cow, Sean Connery Is About to Shoot You, Rearing Horse. See also Leg Cling. Contrast Sword Plant. |

Devil May Cry: Dante raises the Alastor above his head just after he acquires it. The sword then channels a blue lightning strike from above. Dante also raises the Force Edge as the Perfect Amulet transforms it into the Sparda. |

The Belgariad: One of the books by David Eddings has the main character do this on accident. He was trying to attach the Orb of Aldur to the BFS on the wall, only for said sword to fall off into his hands. Expecting it to be incredibly heavy, he overcompensates when lifting the surprisingly weightless sword so it points skyward. Everyone is suitably impressed nonetheless, though the fact that he didn't die when the sword caught fire probably helped. Later on in the same series, another character gives several speeches to gather an army (incidentally the betrothed of the above character). After each speech, she jumps on her horse and brandishes her sword. Nearing the end of the series, said betrothed convinces the protagonist to do the same thing for his army, which has fought for him and deserves something in return. He gives in, but is very self-conscious about the whole thing. |

Kirby In Kirby & the Amazing Mirror, Kirby can stab up with the Master ability by pressing Up+B, though this serves the actual purpose of attacking overhead enemies. Meta Knight in most of his playable appearances in the series can do the same thing, as can a Sword Knight Helper in Super Star Ultra. In Kirby: Triple Deluxe and most games thereafter, Kirby does so to charge up the "Sky Energy Sword" attack, in a similar manner to the above-mentioned Skyward Strike. Kirby Star Allies has Kirby do so to be given elemental attributes from his allies. |

Three examples in With Strings Attached: The Hunter does this with his BFS several times, once to chase away some bandits and once as a Victory Pose after he slaughters Poison Wolves. As'taris stands up and does this while he's flying on George (a pegasus at the moment), which breaks George's rhythm in the air and nearly throws his riders off. In a gender-bender, Aurion does it after (seemingly) defeating As'taris. |

Humorously, the titular heroine in Child of Light does this for her Victory Pose. Well, she tries to, but being a little girl with a full-size longsword, she struggles to keep it up in the air with one hand, so the sword comes down to the ground with a heavy clunk and she barely keeps her balance. | |

Tolkien's Legendarium: Túrin, in J. R. R. Tolkien's The Children of Húrin, gives a Rousing Speech, does this, and then has a magic fire ignite behind him. Which does heavily resemble that same thing that this trope isn't to be confused with. In The Silmarillion, Feanor and his sons raise their swords, which gain a bloody sheen from nearby torches, as they swear an oath that will royally screw up Middle-Earth for many, many years to come. |

He then strikes this pose while humming "Ride of the Valkyries". Upon seeing this Aeryn simply folds her arms and says: "We are going to die." | |

Playing as a Jedi Consular in Star Wars: The Old Republic, you'll need to build a lightsaber for yourself eventually. When you do, the cutscene shows you picking up the hilt, holding it up above your head, and igniting the weapon so that the green energy blade shoots up toward the sky. Activating one of the Jedi Knight's stances does this briefly. A poster for Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords is an Internal Homage to the one for A New Hope, with a male PC stabbing the sky as Luke did. |

Kira does the same thing at the end of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED. His final attack is to use the severely damaged Freedom (missing it's head, an arm, and a leg) and impale the Providence in the cockpit, skewering Rau Le Cruset in the process. | |

Parodied in AdventureQuest Worlds during the Introduction. On a dark stormy night, on a hill overlooking Swordhaven Castle, the PC proudly thrusts his sword in the air, and lightning flashes and the game's title logo appears on the screen...a few seconds later, a bolt of lightning strikes your sword and shocks you so badly that you fall off the mountain and to bounce all the way onto a flat rock, which breaks and sends you falling down the rest of the way as dramatic music plays in the background. | |

Dragon Quest: A few of your "Master Stroke" special attacks in Dragon Quest Swords require you to do this with your Wii remote. In another Dragon Quest Spin-Off game, Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and The Blight Below, the main characters do this before unleashing their Limit Breaks. |

Mobile Suit Gundam: In the final duel between rivals Amuro and Char, the badly damaged Gundam (minus head and left arm) fires its beam rifle upwards to take out Char's Zeong. This pose (officially dubbed "Last Shooting") is insanely iconic in Japan, and receives Shout Outs both internal and external. Kira does the same thing at the end of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED. His final attack is to use the severely damaged Freedom (missing it's head, an arm, and a leg) and impale the Providence in the cockpit, skewering Rau Le Cruset in the process. Mobile Fighter G Gundam: Take this! My love, my anger, and all of my sorrow! SHINING FINGER SWOOOOORD!!! The first opening of Gundam Wing had Wing Gundam doing this with its Buster Rifle, silhouetted against the Earth. |

In Kirby: Triple Deluxe and most games thereafter, Kirby does so to charge up the "Sky Energy Sword" attack, in a similar manner to the above-mentioned Skyward Strike. | |

Mega Man: Mega Man 10's retro-style "box art" has Mega Man pointing his Mega Buster at the sky and shooting a beam, looking similar to the poster for A New Hope. There are also floating images of the main characters and space-ships battling in the sky, also in a similar fashion to the A New Hope poster. In Mega Man X5, Maverick Zero will use this before executing his infamous Genmurei attack. |

In LEGO Harry Potter Years 5-7, when Neville draws the Sword of Gryffindor from the Sorting Hat, he holds it up high like in Star Wars, complete with Hermione in Princess Lea's spot, Ron taking over as C-3PO, and Pigwidgeon portraying R2-D2. Voldemort promptly ends it, blowing the other characters away. | |

Super Smash Bros.: Marth employs this in his on-screen introduction, his down taunt, his up smash, and Critical Hit Final Smash. Lucina, being a Moveset Clone of Marth, shares both his up smash attack and Critical Hit. One of Link's and Young Link's victory poses has this also, and the trope is also exhibited with their respective up smash attacks. Link, Young Link, and Toon Link's up aerial attacks (Up Thrust; drawn from the technique from Zelda II: The Adventure of Link) also feature the swordsmen holding their swords in an upwards fashion, with the blade actually glowing in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. |

The 1983 The Muppets calendar, Miss Piggy's Calendar of Calendars spoofs other calendar themes. The fantasy calendar parody shows Piggy in winged armour and a horned helmet, standing on a rock with a Kermit-like dragon coiled around it, and stabbing the sky. | |
