A character points their sword forward with their arm extended, either to single out and challenge a particular enemy, or to order troops under their command to attack what they’re pointing at. Depending on how heavy the weapon is, this might be hard as hell to do in real life for any extended time period. Similar with Giving Someone the Pointer Finger, only with a weapon. Overlaps with Sean Connery Is About to Shoot You when the character is facing the audience. This can also be used with Rearing Horse for extra Cool points. Compare Stab the Sky and Sword Plant.

The Legion Etiquette gesture in Dark Souls III basically consists of this, and is used to salute an enemy. The Abyss Watchers boss actually performs it towards the player in their pre-battle cutscene, as it is a symbol of the Undead Legion the Watchers belong to. | |

The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel has Rean pointing his sword at his enemies before a boss fight starts. In The Legend of Heroes: Trails into Reverie, he also does this pose if he activates a "Valiant Rage" attack. | |

In JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Polnareff's stand Silver Chariot often does this, given that said sword is a rapier and is thus best used for stabbing. | |

Warhammer 40,000 has plenty of models on all sides who uses swords for this, suiting the blend of sci-fi and fantasy the setting is known for. Especially Space Marines and leaders of the Imperial Guard is fond of this, but even faction with few to no melee units, like the Tau, are prone to this. | |

Bartz does this when confronting his Arch-Enemy Ex-Death during a pre-battle cutscene in Dissidia Final Fantasy. For the Squee of the audience, he does this while holding his partners' weapons: the Buster Sword to his back and the Revolver Gunblade pointed at the opponent. In the same game, this is also the Warrior of Light's pre-battle Ass Kicking Pose. In Final Fantasy VIII, this is Seifer's standard combat pose with his Gunblade. Amusingly, it's also Laguna's pose when play-acting as a sword-wielding knight for a movie, setting off theories that Seifer saw this movie and was thus inspired. |

The Prince of Egypt: As the Hebrews are crossing between the waters of the Red Sea, which Moses parted with his staff, the wall of fire which God sent to hold back the Egyptian army suddenly disappears. Pharaoh Rameses draws his sword, dramatically points it at the gap in the Red Sea, and emits a terrible war cry as the order for his chariots to follow him in and massacre the Hebrews. He leads the charge through the parted sea while sustaining his war cry and continuing to hold his sword pointed forward. | |

Dimensional Gate Screwover: When the vampire Akasha returns to reclaim her mansion from Tomoe, she singles out Nelius as being a point of interest in the Demon Realm by pointing her rapier at him. Undaunted by this, Nelius responds by pointing his axe at her. Several chapters later, Nelius ends up in the Demon Realm to find more people from his side of the world. Akasha runs into him again, but before she can draw her weapon Nelius beats her to the punch by leveling his axe at her face, forcing her to relent. |

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power has a few examples of this trope. In The Sea Gate, She-Ra aims her sword at the Salineas Sea Gate in an attempt to heal it. Why this seems to be a good idea is never really mentioned in the show, other than the excuse of 'It's She-Ra!'. Catra does this with the Sword of Power later on in the show but subverts expectations by Handing the weapon over to Adora and telling her to leave. However, this doesn't redeem Catra, but it did supply plenty of fuel for the Catra/Adora ship. |

Generals and captains do this in Rome: Total War when units are ordered around the battlefield. There are also some variations, from a simple point forward with the sword to the commander spinning the sword above his head to the commander's horse (when he's mounted) rearing as the commander sweeps the sword forward in a grand gesture. | |

Cesare - Il Creatore che ha distrutto: Barbaric Bully Henri is fond of escalating arguments by pulling out his dagger and doing this (carrying daggers in school was acceptable in 1491). He never stabs anyone, though, because the titular Cesare Borgia disarms him with pure elegance and flair — and buying everyone wine, if need be. The climax of the story also has a bit more of this than actual stabbing, but a few daggers do get used. | |
