Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })As the power flows through your body and your hair glows and your Battle Aura burns brightly, how are you gonna react physically? Usually doing this classic pose, body arched back, arms at sides at an angle facing outwards, legs at full extension about 20 degrees from each other.
If the power-up is making you float, you may as well point those toes. Hands in fists or curled are optional, as is screaming at the top of the lungs. It is highly recommended to make use of this trope to add that extra layer of badass to any transformation and it's shorter than a full Transformation Sequence too. This trope often serves as a visual indicator of someone entering their Super Mode, or pulling out the stops.
Compare Meditation Power Up which is a more sedate posture that serves the same purpose. If a Dangerous Forbidden Technique is used, expect the pose to look painful in turn.

In Sengoku Basara 4 Sumeragi, if playable character Ashikaga Yoshiteru successfully targets an enemy with "Muken no Tobira" skill (lit. "Infernal Gateway"), that enemy gets stuck in a moment for a bit, as Ashikaga warps behind the target to deliver massive damage with a Diagonal Cut, taking time to dramatically sheath the blade afterwards.

RWBY: Deconstructed. During Volumes 1-3, Yang often activates her Semblance by entering the power-up pose to wrist-activate her gauntlet-guns, and then charging at her opponents. In Volume 4, her father points out this style of activation is just a temper tantrum designed to fix her problems, and it made her predictable to her opponents. He teaches her to fight smarter instead of harder and to only use her Semblance as a last resort; from then on, she stops relying on her Semblance, no longer broadcasting when she's about to use it.

Advanced V.G. II: Used as a special attack and as a victory pose for The Material Twins, during which, they levitate and flare their psychic-kinetic energy around their bodies. Miranda Jahana has the same ability but on a far greater scale. Material's version is seen at 7:13-7:16, while Miranda's is seen at 7:29.

In My Hero Academia Midoriya does this pose on top of a pile of rubbish once he has finished cleaning a polluted beach. He gains 'One for All' a few minutes later, and him striking the pose symbolized him completing the training that allowed him to receive All Might's power. Mostly averted when Midoriya actually activates his powers, though he is still early in his development and this might change as he can access more of his abilities.

Asterix usually adopts a version of this pose when he drinks the magic potion. He glows and rises off the ground, his back is arched and the arm that does not hold the gourd of potion is either fully extended or has a slight bend at the elbow; in either case, the fist is clenched. A unique aspect of this pose is that his feet are depicted as flapping violently — maybe that's why he's off the ground?

Mega Man
X's teleporting animation at the start of every stage in the X4 through X6 games has him adopt briefly this pose, as he powers up with his currently equipped armor.
If Zero becomes "Awakened" in X5, he adopts this pose along with a red glowing aura.
Vent and Aile are briefly shown in this pose when they use the Biometals Model X and Model Z together. In the sequel, Vent also does it, complete with a Kiai.

Metroid
Samus often takes a variant when she acquires a new suit upgrade like the Varia and Gravity suits. In the fully 2D entries she just stands and looks at the camera. The Prime sub-series has her T-pose. The Mercury Steam games play this straight.
Her Evil Knockoff Dark Samus regularly does this when using its phazon powers.
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption When empowered by the rush of Phazon after Leviathan bosses Samus takes a more and more painful looking variation of the pose. It really sells that she is turning into a copy of Dark Samus, especially when she floats in this pose to expel the supercharge of Phazon at Leviathan seeds.
Metroid: Samus Returns Samus does the stock pose after acquiring new Aeion abilities.

Used often in Mobile Fighter G Gundam whenever someone entered their Super Mode.

Kingdom Hearts:
At the climax of Terra's story in Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, Terra strikes this pose while embracing The Power of Hate, complete with a Battle Aura of raging black fire.
Footage from Kingdom Hearts III shows Sora striking this pose when he enters a Drive Form.

Mega Evolution, introduced in Pokémon X and Y, will have many of the Mons strike a pose similar to this while they transform.
