So I saw Genm's God Maximum Mighty henshin and I thought that pose looked a bit familiar. So I did some poking around on the internet and realised that his henshin pose is supposed to be a reference to the Abhayamudrā, or the 'gesture of fearlessness' prominent in Eastern religions signifying reassurance of safety and divine protection. Please excuse the poor quality images.




As for the pose in question:



Interestingly enough, Genm's pose is reversed and his arm outstretched rather than crossed. Whatever this means is beyond me, maybe signifying that his 'goodhood' isn't genuine or something? To be honest I'm not even sure if the pose is to reflect the Abhayamudrā due to my lack of knowledge on the mudras (ritualistic gestures) but considering the meaning behind the pose, along with Kuroto's arrogant nature and god complex, I can't help but think this isn't a coincidence.
