I need help finding a Pose for art

I'm looking for a specific pose, perhaps it even has a name but I'm not sure. It's when usually a "tough guy" or a bully of some sort, maybe even the protagonist just crossed someone's path the wrong way.

Often the character will stop and rapidly turn around to face the victim and have one arm hanging down limp between their legs as if to issue a challenge to the victim. I'm pretty sure Kuwabara does it to Urameshi in Yu-Yu-Hakusho at some point. It's possible that it happens in JOJO. But it's usually an older anime trope though I've seen it kinda scattered around.

I'm trying to find an image for reference but I can't seem to search specifically for it so I decided to come to reddit to ask if the pose has a name or if someone has a reference photo.

Is it the delinquent squat pose or more when they're standing?

They're standing, it's usually kinda like a taunt. But the type of characters that do the squat are the type to do this pose

Hmm not that I know of specifically. Could be something like a fighting stance

Un-Ded_might2026-01-24 04:55

I just found something that has it kinda similar, it's usually a little more exaggerated [Here](https://www.pinterest.com/pin/328270260359850573/) Number 3.
