>>28878794You're wrong. It's an Ashita no Joe reference.
>Midnight Form Lycanroc provokes its opponents by pressing in hard and inviting their attack. When an opponent falls for this tactic and attacks, Lycanroc counters with its forte: a single devastating blow that finishes off its foe! The stronger its opponent is, the more excited for battle Lycanroc becomes. It doesn’t mind getting hurt if it means victory in battle.>When Lycanroc takes physical damage from an opponent, it deals double that damage back to the same opponent.That's Joe's fighting style. Especially the "he doesn't mind getting hurt" part.
His pose in OP's picture is that of a boxer who has lowered his guard and taunts his opponent into attacking.
