Is there a tag for this pose?

Ah, that's tricky. post #1210048 explains it, actually.

In Japan, it's the "Guts!" pose.

In much of the rest of the world, it's called the bras d'honneur and it's a rude gesture.

Whether that means we should use a single tag because it's the same pose, or use two different tags depending on which meaning seems to be intended, I leave that to more experienced Danbooruians.

Hmmm, that's interesting. It appears that while there is a "Guts!" pose, and a "see my muscles and determination!" pose, the two aren't the same pose (contrary to the translation of post #1210048.) The "Guts!" pose is actually the victory pose popularized by the boxer "Guts" Ishimatsu (at least that seems to be the generally accepted origin.)

In any case, the "see-my-muscles-etc." pose does seem to be an established pose which happens to be pretty much... the bras d'honneur. One wonders how many awkward moments have happened because of that coincidence...
