* In ''[[Crest of the Stars]]'' and its sequels, Abh uses the Polish-style two-fingers salute, except that in this version, the palm is facing downward.
* The Hige-Hige salute in ''[[Bomberman Jetters (Anime)|Bomberman Jetters]]'' is about as absurd as it can get: one extends both arms, hands folded into fists, to the right, draws a full circle with them in the vertical plane, and finishes by bending one's left leg. {{media
* In ''[[Gundam Seed]]'' and ''[[Gundam Seed Destiny]]'', the ZAFT troops have a distinctive salute wherein the right hand (if present) is raised to one's temple, open palm facing inwards, towards the face, while the elbow stays directly below it, almost touching one's side. There is even a brief scene in ''SEED'' where Lacus coaches Kira how to do it properly. Don't try it at home unless you have an anime character's waist.
