About

Gendo Ikari is a character from the Neon Genesis Evangelion franchise. The meme revolves around an image of Ikari in a steepling(hands clasped, fingers crossed) pose. Such a pose is not uncommon for an anatagonist such as himself, and is sometimes known as The Abassador Pose.

The main hallmark of Gendo’s steepling is his scary shiny glasses which make it extra great.

Although the pose appears in many other series, Photoshops of the Gendo Pose in which Gendo’s hands and glasses have been pasted onto a picture of a person or thing appear on many image-sharing anime forums.

Examples

No matter what the original photo may be, The Gendo Pose makes it mind-bogglingly sweet.

Ex. 1
Lame

Badass

Ex. 2

Unloveable

Cool dude!

See? Works every time! The possibilities are endless! This is a meme most versatile. Try it yourself, here are the parts for the job.

This is the picture the majority if not all the arms and glasses come from

There seems to be aproblem with the pictures, if this is happening to anyone else, this should probably be deleted. I’ll work on a new entry.

cap’n: you gotta link to the actual image itself. unfortunately, the service where those images are located force-redirects to an HTML, so they won’t show up. you might need to find another service to host those photos. (we’re also looking into better ways to insert photos into the entry body.)

Damned if that doesn’t remind me of the schoolmaster from The Wall.

If anyone was on /b/ in 2005, this came from the constant photoshopping of cactuar’s face onto images. I tried to do the same with the angry sun from mario, but it didn’t catch on, and I eventually made this. I tried to do Rei’s eye patch and cast after gendo died down, but it also didn’t catch on.
/b/ is much too fast nowadays to do this kind of forced meme =(

Not tooting my own horn, just thought it might be interesting. Though I’m always amazed when I see cosplayers do it.
