A type of Ass Kicking Pose performed by a team, usually involving a high degree of synchronization or symmetry and often both. As the name suggests, the Super Sentai team (and the adapted Power Rangers) are the Trope Codifier and Trope Namer. Tends to look awesome, even if it should — by all rights — look silly. Generally speaking, you usually need three to six people to pull this off. The trope originated with Sentai and is never played straight outside of a Sentai work; examples outside Sentai works are almost always Affectionate Parodies. Even within works, it's Lampshaded sometimes. For fun, this trope is usually coupled with In the Name of the Moon. Like many Tokusatsu tropes, the Trope Makers likely come from Kabuki Theatre, a medium filled with larger-than-life heroes who often strike distinctive stances. While earlier toku works like Kamen Rider and the Ultra Series often featured solo or duo "henshin poses", Super Sentai would codify the group version through its larger cast and emphasis on Team Spirit. It later became known to Western audiences in the '90s through Power Rangers (an American adaptation of Super Sentai), and several popular Anime of the time including Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball Z. Arguably the inspiration for the "dab" (or "dabbing") dance move in contemporary American Hip-Hop culture. Compare: Angels Pose, Team Power Walk, V-Formation Team Shot and Attack Pattern Alpha. |

Winx Club: The six main girls (occasionally plus Roxy or Daphne) pose like this either while calling for their powers or after going through their fairy Transformation Sequence. Additionally, they always form a V with their fingers. This is Played for Laughs in one episode where the girls are too sleepy to get their habitual positions right the first time — so they shift places around and it's only then that the sequence truly starts. Although the music doesn't quite wait for them. | |

One optional Quest in Divinity II: The Dragon Knight Saga has a group of people in rags approaching the PC, instantly switching into armor and weapons and striking such a pose. By the way the camera focuses on each one as their armor appears in a beam of light and they shout their names, you know it's a parody of this trope. Behold! The Dragon Terror Patrol! |

All over the place in Chroma Squad, which makes sense considering it's a game about running a Sentai studio. Not only will your actors pose when they change to Sentai mode, but while in costume they will randomly pose during battle while idle, or whenever they speak during a cutscene. Each role has its own unique pose when they pose solo. | |

In Soul Eater, Death the Kid and his twin guns Patti and Liz will often go into a symmetrical formation in which Kid will be on his knees with his arms low to the ground, Patty will be standing over him with her hands behind her head and Liz above both of them with her arms outstretched like wings. Sometimes, whenever this formation is less symmetrical (such as one point during their debut episode, when Patti was off to one side), Kid would get mad and shout at them. | |

Parodied in Buso Renkin, where entrance to the LXE headquarters requires both a password and the people seeking entrance to strike a pose. When the heroes attempt to get in, they do the same thing (to Tokiko's great reluctance)... only to realize that even if they did know the password, it'd be rather stupid for the LXE to just let any random people into their secret headquarters (leading to a flustered Tokiko to just get pissed and bust the door down.) | |

Parodied in Carnival Phantasm, which introduces three new Ren variants (Spotty, Calico and Striped) alongside regular (Black) Ren and White Ren just so the newly-coined Super United Cats Squadron Five Ren Cats can do a super sentai introduction. Then they immediately go through the intro again except that they're all Calico this time, and then they do it a third time with each one wearing a ludicrous costume that has nothing to do with what any of the others are wearing. | |

One Piece is a slightly curious case with the rather zany Heart Pirates, led by the not-at-all zany Trafalgar Law, who are often seen decked in matching boiler suits and striking sentai poses behind their captain. The Vinsmoke Family makes for a rare antagonistic example. It's appropriate considering how they blatantly take inspiration from sentai shows and comics, with high-tech, colorful suits and separate elemental-themed powers. |

The Super Sentai Stance Shenanigans continue in Dragon Ball Fighterz, as both grown-up Gohan and the Ginyu Force are in. For Gohan, it's mostly something he finds fun (calling "the Great Saiyaman" lame is a good way to piss him off), but the Ginyus are taking it as seriously as ever: Captain Ginyu heaps honors on Gohan over his knowledge and appreciation of proper asskicking poses, and the Force itself will try to challenge their own clones to a pose-off and be absurdly offended that they don't actually pose. | |

Although for the second part of the Eye Catch, the France Five screw up the Sentai Stance, and most of them end up sprawled while Red Fromage face-palms. | |

Pokémon: In Pokémon X and Y, members of Team Flare occasionally strike such a pose when preparing to do battle. In Pokémon Sun and Moon, using a Z-Move apparently requires you to do this, starting with a short dance based on hula movements before striking a dramatic pose. Buzzwole in a nutshell. The Pokedex even guesses they communicate exclusively through posing. |

Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger arguably pokes fun at this with Gokai Green, who (as the Plucky Comic Relief) tends to do very odd poses like giving himself bunny ears. Even this was lampshaded in one episode where the team fought Evil Twins and, upon seeing his own role call pose, Green complains that it looks like he's wiping his hands on his pants after peeing; Yellow and Silver say that it's always looked like that. Don also has a hard time pulling off some of the more complex poses; look closely when the team is doing another Sentai's pose and you can often see him stumbling around. | |

Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger has a Running Gag of the stance sequence being altered in some humorous way as a result of whatever the Monster of the Week did to them that episode, such as having one member be invisible, the leader being stuck in the body of one of the villains, or the team logo that appears behind them when they do the stance falling on them. | |

Parodied in God Hand with the Mad Midget Five (a parody of sentai teams, of course). Their pose is to lie on the ground in a V-shaped formation... with their legs sticking up in the air in a V-shape. When defeated, they go into "Formation... C!" Which is turning to the side and grabbing each other's hips. | |

As Ryuuseitai from Ensemble Stars! is a Sentai themed, they naturally have a few cards of the unit members doing this. However, as Ryuuseitai is also a Ragtag Bunch of Misfits, the expressions are generally a little atypical, with Midori looking awkward and tired, or Kanata grinning like a child. | |

Pretty Cure: While the stance is utilized in standard magical girl form through the series (combined with Back-to-Back Badasses when a team is made of just two), Pretty Cure All Stars DX 2 lampshaded this when five teams of Pretty Cures pose together when they're all first gathered. Cure Blossom and Cure Marine are more than a little put off by it all. Smile Pretty Cure! takes it one step further — when the united five strike their first group stance... the Monster of the Week immediately hits them with a soda missile. One episode of Doki Doki Pretty Cure had the team go through the entire speech and pose before realizing one of their teammates was so terrified of the dentist-themed monster, she didn't transform and hid behind a tree the entire time. HappinessCharge Pretty Cure! has an episode where Iona, once the Aloof Ally, puts her new teammates through a training camp specifically to practice their stance. Star★Twinkle Pretty Cure has a Halloween Episode where the team puts on a sentai guise to cover up their identities, leading to a direct parody of the more typical sentai stance — down to the color-coded explosions behind the girls as they each announce their names. |

Dragon Ball Z: The Ginyu Force is a rare villainous example parody. They got pissed when they realized that the heroes had killed off too many of their numbers to pull it off anymore. And they've earned something of an Ensemble Dark Horse fandom because of it, despite (or quite possibly because of) the fact that they were supposed to look genuinely stupid. Goku mocks them for this habit and points out all they're doing is wasting energy and leaving themselves open. Meanwhile, Gohan tries to pull off something similar as the Great Saiyaman, but since he only has one partner and he's a massive dork to begin with, it just ends up looking ridiculous. The only one who thinks he looks cool is his little brother. |
