Victory Pose: Difference between revisions

== Non-Video Game Examples ==

 

* In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]],'' Judai/Jaden has a Victory Pose on winning a duel—he extends his middle and index fingers and gives a quick salute, saying, "Gotcha!" (or "That's game" in the English).

* During the Legendary Heroes arc of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'', the heroes overcome a powerful enemy in the virtual world they're exploring. There's then a cut to the villains monitoring their progress via a viewscreen... which shows the heroes as 16-bit sprites doing a "jump up and down" Victory Pose. One of the stingers in ''Yu-Gi-Oh The Abriged Series'' set that clip to the victory music from ''[[Final Fantasy VI]]''.

* In ''[[Cardcaptor Sakura]],'' [[Meta Guy]] Tomoyo ''insists'' that Sakura come up with a pose because every [[Magical Girl]] has one.

 

* In the [[James Bond]] movie ''[[Goldeneye]]'', Boris the Russian computer specialist does this when he cracks a system or performs another feat of coding mastery. 'I am inwincible!' are his final words, uttered while in this pose, just before a tank of liquid nitrogen exploded and froze him solid still in his pose.

 

* ''Some [[Power Rangers]]'' and ''[[Super Sentai]]'' series get a synchronized post-finishing procedure (to go with the morph pose and the roll call pose), though it's far from all. However, turning around and looking cool as the [[Monster of the Week]] goes boom in the background is a time-honored tradition. (Like all of 'em, it's subject to [[Lampshade Hanging]]. Once in ''[[Power Rangers Dino Thunder]],'' the team does this... but the monster survives and blasts the Rangers from behind. In ''[[Power Rangers Samurai]],'' a monster-hosted [[Clip Show]] had more than one bad guy complain about the Rangers adding insult to injury with the turn-and-pose.)
