henshin
Henshin (変身, lit. "transformation") is the term for the transformation sequences commonly seen in tokusatsu, mecha, and magical girl anime where a character transforms from their ordinary form into a more powerful form. The term is derived from Kafka's The Metamorphosis.
Although some speculate that the "Henshin pose" originates from kabuki or cheerleading, the original inspiration is unclear.
