* As implied in the main article, several characters and [[Humongous Mecha]] in ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'' do this pose. Simon and Kamina have theirs, and even the Gurren pulls one: they stab the sky with their finger while giving a [[Rousing Speech]] about piercing the heavens. That's not to mention every time a mech pulls a Giga Drill Breaker usually involves some fire and explosions. Just see ''[[The Children of Hurin (Literature)|The Children of Hurin]]'', below.

* One of the books in ''[[The Belgariad]]'' 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.
