In anime and manga, this scene is used to signify strength and power,
as one reviewer put it : ‘The act signifies the body refusing to yield
even in death’
This is technically possible in Real Life (especially with the help of rigor
mortis, but see Real Life, below), though absurdly unlikely, and in any
case a corpse's lack of balance control will cause it to topple sooner or
later. The realms of fiction simply contrive to end the scene before this
happens

immense liking for a dish called amti. The dish was special because it had kokum as one of

Which Company
_____ was established as Kashio Seisakujo in April 1946 by Tadao Kashio
(1917–1993), an engineer specializing in fabrication technology. Kashio's first
major product was the yubiwa pipe, a finger ring that would hold a cigarette,
allowing the wearer to smoke the cigarette down to its nub while also leaving
the wearer's hands-free. Japan was impoverished immediately following
World War II, so cigarettes were valuable, and the invention was a success.
After seeing the electric calculators at the first Business Show in Ginza, Tokyo
in 1949, Kashio and his younger brothers (Toshio, Kazuo, and Yukio) used their
profits from the yubiwa pipe to develop their calculators
