Before he retorts, Reiji pointedly adjusts his glasses using only his middle finger, subtly telling the guy exactly where he can shove his lies.

* In Japan, this is considered a somewhat milder insult than in the West. As a result, this shows up a lot more often than one would expect.
* ''Manga/AceOfTheDiamond'': A flashback during Act II shows Sawamura and Miyuki testing different ball grips for the Numbers. After he misses one too many...
-->'''Miyuki''': You're missing a lot. How are you gripping the ball?\\
'''Sawamura''': Like this! ''(flips the bird)''\\
'''Miyuki''': Lower that finger, please.
* ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'': In Volume 33, pirate Captain Bonebeard makes the mistake of attacking the ''Seahorse'', the finest ship of the Iith navy commanded by the [[RedBaron "Sailing prince of Eath"]] Roderick of Stauffen. As Bonebeard retreats with his tail between his legs, the cheeky Isidro sees him off with a combined BicepPolishingGesture and middle-finger-salute, shouting "I hope a shark bites your ass!"
* Rock does [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RY4lxe2gMqE this]] quite memorably in the second episode of ''Manga/BlackLagoon'', flipping off the Extra Order mercs as he pulls his first [[Awesome/BlackLagoon Crowning Moment of Awesome]] by having the title ship launched off a ramp and the torpedoes launched to wipe out an attack chopper that was after them.
-->"You got '''[[PrecisionFStrike FUCKED!]]'''"
* In ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' [[spoiler:Isshin]] simultaneously flips [[spoiler:Aizen]] the bird and ''knocks him several city blocks back'' (it's unknown if ''some'' sort of hand gesture was [[FullContactMagic necessary]] or if it was entirely because he felt like it).
** The manga features Grimmjow grinning madly while flipping off the reader.
* In Episode 14 of ''Manga/ChitoseGetYou'', Chitose does this to her teacher, Fuji-Sensei.
* Mina from ''Manga/DanceInTheVampireBund'' flips off [[spoiler:Rozemann]] as he helplessly watches Akira rescue her from his castle.
* Ganta of ''Manga/DeadmanWonderland'' does this to the crowd in the Carnival Corpse battle after [[FinishHim they demand that he finish Minatsuki]], the opponent that he just defeated.
* ''Manga/DragonBall'':
** Bulma did this to Pilaf during an interrogation.
** Launch did this after beating up a Red Ribbon Army grunt.
** ''Anime/DragonBallZ'': Vegeta does this to Krillin in one of the Frieza saga episodes.
** Almost every character in ''DBZ'' flips the bird at least once... except Goku, who prefers more childish rude gestures like sticking his tongue out.
** There's [[https://www.kanzenshuu.com/guides/manga/chp/titles/lg/371.png a chapter title page]] where half of the cast flips off Cell.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cn9sV5T8xA4 Even Buu does it!]]
** At the end of the series, a ''very'' rude boy did this to 4-year-old Pan when she accidentally bumped into him.
* In ''Manga/DragonQuestTheAdventureOfDai'', Flazzard makes this gesture to Marm before his first defeat.
* Early in ''Anime/ExcelSaga'', when Excel is in prison, another prisoner asks if there's anyone she likes. She attempts to give a shy thumbs-up of "yeah", but accidentally flips her new friend off on the first attempt.
* The ''LightNovel/FateApocrypha'' light novel has Mordred giving this to Adam. It was changed to a thumbs-down in the anime.
* Juza the Cloud in ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'' does this to Raoh during his final encounter.
* ''Manga/FlameOfRecca'': Recca flips the bird at Kurei when Kurei gives Recca the option to surrender rather than fight. This causes a bit of a crisis for Joker when the extremely innocent and sheltered Meno asks him what the gesture means.
-->'''Joker''' (thinking): How am I supposed to explain F**K to someone like Meno? Recca, I hate you.
* In ''Manga/FruitsBasket'', Haru does this to Kyo during their fight as he's saying "Go to hell!"
* ''Anime/GhostInTheShellArise''. Motoko is thrown across the room by a more powerful cyborg, with a [[VisualGag broken finger landing in the 'bird' position.]]
* In ''Anime/GreatPretender,'' Abbie does this to the point of it being her characteristic, and it's her usual response to being given orders... or friendly words. When the rest of the team forms a ScoobyStack while peeking around a door, her "contribution" is her raised middle finger.
* Gather 'round, kids, the Manga/GreatTeacherOnizuka is going to teach you some sign language!
* The ''Manga/GunsmithCats'' salute an annoying ATF agent this way as he leaves. As average residents of UsefulNotes/{{Chicago}}, it's reasonable.
* ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'': Jan Valentine enjoys this and does it to [[LadyofWar Integra]] just before he dies.
* In ''Manga/HunterXHunter'', Netero does this to the Chimera Ant King while unleashing his ultimate unavoidable attack "Zero Hand". [[spoiler:It doesn't work.]]
* In Episode 3 of ''LightNovel/IsThisAZombie'', Orito flips off Ayumu while challenging him to a round of bowling to see if he can start living in his house along with Yuu, Seraphim, and Haruna.
-->'''Orito:''' If I win, I'll start living in your house today!\\
'''Ayumu:''' I don't understand.\\
'''Orito:''' (''gives the finger'') Say your prayers!
* ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStoneOcean'': Jolyne Cujoh can do this in several different languages.
* In ''Anime/TheLegendOfBlackHeaven'' Watanabe hurts his middle finger causing him to involuntarily flip off a hulking black guy, [[NecroNonSequitur triggering a chain of event that eventually led to his death.]]
* In the Lucky Channel portion of ''Manga/LuckyStar'', Akira does this (though it's sort of [[{{Pixellation}} hidden]]) when saying "It's ''irritating''!" in a cheery voice about something Minoru had said.
* Episode 4 of ''Anime/MichikoAndHatchin'': Michiko disses a stripper because the stripper's boobs have no bounce. According to Michiko, it must be because they're augmented. She finishes by flipping the ([[{{Pixellation}} pixellated]]) bird.
* Not even ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'' is spared. If only for a single panel, an angry Jiro pulls out a nasty middle finger at an ''appalled'' Kaminari in Chapter 59. Even if we [[AmbiguousSituation don't know exactly why she did it]], this easily counts as a nonverbal PrecisionFStrike for her. Considering she typically threatens or full-on sticks anyone who irritates her with her earphone jacks.
** During the Training Camp attack, the villain Twice also performs this gesture at Dabi when he asks for a second clone of him, after the first one was quickly destroyed.
-->'''Twice:''' (''giving the finger'') Another small fry coming right up! (''adds a thumbs-up'') Leave it to me!
* This is done several times in the manga version of ''Manga/{{Naruto}}''. The anime, on the other hand, censored these scenes:
** In the first chapter of ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'', we're treated to a flashback panel where Naruto is giving [[WebAnimation/HomestarRunner The Double Deuce]] to Iruka.
** Done quite a few more times, mostly by Kiba.
** Swirly Zetsu flips off Obito in his flashback as a FunnyBackgroundEvent.
** Near the very end of the series, in a total {{Tsundere}} moment, Kurama flips off Naruto when the latter asks the former if he missed him.
* Shows up in ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'', where [[WeaselMascot Chamo]] gives Fate the finger. Possibly. His super-deformed style makes it tough to tell, but that gesture probably fits the situation best.
* In ''Manga/OnePiece'', when Eustass Kid and Trafalgar Law (two of the "11 Supernovas", rookies with huge bounties, including Luffy and Zoro) meet, Kid insults Law, who casually flips him the bird in response. This gesture was omitted in the anime version, but Kid's reaction to it is retained.
** After the [[spoiler: time skip, Sanji does this to the crossdressers of Kamabakka Kingdom as a farewell]].
** In the Colosseum tournament, Sai does this to "Lucy" (a disguised Luffy).
** The gesture fits very well with Law's defiant personality. [[spoiler: When he is about to be shot (again) by former mentor/current ArchEnemy Doflamingo, the man offers to allow Law to die via the Ope-Ope Fruit's DangerousForbiddenTechnique in exchange for one wish. Law's response is to troll him by seemingly agreeing, then demanding the impossible such as the revival of Doflamingo's brother (who Law idolized) and licking the assholes of every single citizen of the country Doflamingo took over a decade prior (which, disregarding sanitary reasons, Doflamingo's pride would never allow), and ''then'' taunting him one last time by stating that he'll never beat the Straw Hats or get Caesar back. All of this was ''before'' Law gave him the finger as one final "screw you" to his former boss.]] The anime again omits the finger, in favor of [[spoiler: a montage of the many "miracles" that the Straw Hats have accomplished up to that point, along with one last [[DeathGlare defiant stare]]]].
** During Whole Cake Island, Pudding has an ImagineSpot where her evil-self flips off Sanji as they bake a cake to stop Big Mom's rampage. Like the other examples, this is censored in the anime.
* In ''Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub'', the Hitachiin brothers do this rather frequently.
* Becky from ''Anime/PaniPoniDash'' does this in the first episode. It wouldn't be as jarring if it weren't for the fact that she's an eleven-year-old teacher who did that to her students. She demanded respect as a teacher, and one of the students immediately smacks her on the head for being so disrespectful.
-->"Look, I don't care if you ask me questions, but please use your brain before you open your mouth. For the love of God, try to think of less boring things to ask. Understand, YOU *flips middle finger* LOW LIFEFORMS?!
* ''Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt'' is full of it. Granted, it's not the [[EverybodyHasLotsOfSex worst]] [[ClusterFBomb thing]] [[AllWomenAreLustful in]] [[{{Leatherman}} the]] [[GrossoutShow show]].
* ''Manga/PopTeamEpic'': both Popuko and Pipimi make this gesture often. It's the manga's page picture for a reason.
* ''Manga/TheQuintessentialQuintuplets'': While on the way to a school camp, Fuutarou and the Nakanos get stuck in the middle of traffic, so to pass some time they play a game where one person hides all but one finger behind their other hand, and the rest have to guess which finger they're holding up (with each finger named after a different sister). Fuutarou guesses that Nino is holding up her namesake (index) finger. Nino cheerfully informs him that it was actually the Miku (middle) finger, making sure that the back of her hand is facing Fuutarou when she does the reveal.
* ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'': This shows up a lot because it's a milder insult.
** In an episode, when they fight the Gambling King, the King uses it to punctuate his rant/challenge. Then it gets returned to him... by Akane, of all people.
** Akane did it also in another episode, to Ranma; while hitting [[GenderBender her]] on the head with her HyperspaceMallet at the same time.
** Ryōga also did it once when talking smack to Ranma.
** Then there was the time that Nabiki flipped off Sōun. Given that she usually does it with her index finger, this is a non-verbal PrecisionFStrike on her part.
** And man, Ranma flips off people a lot in the manga.
** A truly epic one happens in the [[MartialArtsAndCrafts Martial Arts Dining]] arc when Ranma is stuck in an iron corset and accidentally turns [[GenderBender into his boy side.]]
--->'''Sōun:''' You call yourself my future son?!\\
'''Ranma:''' (''while flipping Sōun off'') So yells my "dad," the little French maid!
* The British V sign makes an appearance in Chapter 2 of ''Manga/RosarioPlusVampire'' when Kurumu flips off Moka after hypnotizing Tsukune into calling her a bloodsucker to her face.
* ''Manga/RurouniKenshin'':
** Kaoru does this to Megumi as Megumi leaves to go work with the local doctor, in response to Megumi telling Kenshin that she's available if he ever gets bored of Kaoru.
** Sanosuke is another repeating offender of this, famously giving Saito the finger when he declares he brushed off the defensive skills Saito taught him to fight the way he sees fit.
* In an episode of ''Anime/SamuraiChamploo'' called "Baseball Blues", a baseball team from America challenges Mugen and his friends to a baseball game, and a nasty fat player flips them off.
** At the start of the episode, when told his ship can't dock in Japan, the admiral of the American fleet announces "FUCK THEM!" (in English) while flipping the bird. [[{{Pixellation}} It's pixellated]].
* In Chapter 7 of ''Manga/SensualPhrase'' Sakuya does this to spite [[spoiler: his half brother]] Ralph, even saying "FUCK YOU!"
* In an episode of the ''Manga/SlamDunk'' anime (the scene exists in the manga, but the bird-flipping doesn't), after scoring a bucket through his own individualistic work, Rukawa tells the rest of the team (Akagi included) that he couldn't pass to anyone because they were shaking in their sneakers. Invariably, they all get pissed, and Mitsui flashes the middle finger at the "bastard freshman, trying to give me a lesson".
* In one installment of ''[[Franchise/StarTrek Star Trek: The Manga]]'', the ''Enterprise'' is up against a squadron of space mechas. Kirk orders them to stand down, and the lead mecha flips him off. (It's not actually shown; only the {{Reaction Shot}}s of the bridge officers make it clear what just happened.) The significance of the gesture is, of course, lost on the alien observer on the bridge with Kirk.
--> '''Melkor:''' One? '''One''' what? What is it trying to say?\\
'''Kirk:''' It's a very old Earth gesture, Mr. Melkor...and it tells me a lot about who we're dealing with.
* In Episode 9 of ''Manga/{{TerraforMARS}}'', [[PsychoElectricEel Adolf]] delivers one to the Roaches, before [[ShockAndAwe raining thunder from above]] all while [[RuleofSymbolism quoting epic Bible lines]].
* ''Anime/YuGiOh5Ds'': You'd think that a show about a [[SeriousBusiness Card Game]] wouldn't have this, but [[http://i902.photobucket.com/albums/ac227/DarkScytheQueen/5Ds-Caption-31.jpg You'd be wrong]]. This tends to pop up when the Hero or Lancer sets up a comeback so awesome, there's no need to bring the flipped finger up.
* In ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'', Kuwabara begins bashing Yusuke in comparison to his spirit sword vs Yusuke's spirit gun saying the gun is weaker. Yusuke responds with "That depends on which finger I'm using" while flipping Kuwabara off clearly. This was edited out of the Creator/{{Toonami}} block version. Yusuke does it again to Team Toguro at the Dark Tournament.

[[spoiler: When he is about to be shot (again) by former mentor/current ArchEnemy Doflamingo, the man offers to allow Law to die via the Ope-Ope Fruit's DangerousForbiddenTechnique in exchange for one wish. Law's response is to troll him by seemingly agreeing, then demanding the impossible such as the revival of Doflamingo's brother (who Law idolized) and licking the assholes of every single citizen of the country Doflamingo took over a decade prior (which, disregarding sanitary reasons, Doflamingo's pride would never allow), and ''then'' taunting him one last time by stating that he'll never beat the Straw Hats or get Caesar back. All of this was ''before'' Law gave him the finger as one final "screw you" to his former boss.]] The anime again omits the finger, in favor of [[spoiler: a montage of the many "miracles" that the Straw Hats have accomplished up to that point, along with one last [[DeathGlare defiant stare]]]].
** During Whole Cake Island, Pudding has an ImagineSpot where her evil-self flips off Sanji as they bake a cake to stop Big Mom's rampage. Like the other examples, this is censored in the anime.
* In ''Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub'', the Hitachiin brothers do this rather frequently.
* Becky from ''Anime/PaniPoniDash'' does this in the first episode. It wouldn't be as jarring if it weren't for the fact that she's an eleven-year-old teacher who did that to her students. She demanded respect as a teacher, and one of the students immediately smacks her on the head for being so disrespectful.
-->"Look, I don't care if you ask me questions, but please use your brain before you open your mouth. For the love of God, try to think of less boring things to ask. Understand, YOU *flips middle finger* LOW LIFEFORMS?!
* ''Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt'' is full of it. Granted, it's not the [[EverybodyHasLotsOfSex worst]] [[ClusterFBomb thing]] [[AllWomenAreLustful in]] [[{{Leatherman}} the]] [[GrossoutShow show]].
* ''Manga/PopTeamEpic'': both Popuko and Pipimi make this gesture often. It's the manga's page picture for a reason.
* ''Manga/TheQuintessentialQuintuplets'': While on the way to a school camp, Fuutarou and the Nakanos get stuck in the middle of traffic, so to pass some time they play a game where one person hides all but one finger behind their other hand, and the rest have to guess which finger they're holding up (with each finger named after a different sister). Fuutarou guesses that Nino is holding up her namesake (index) finger. Nino cheerfully informs him that it was actually the Miku (middle) finger, making sure that the back of her hand is facing Fuutarou when she does the reveal.
* ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'': This shows up a lot because it's a milder insult.
** In an episode, when they fight the Gambling King, the King uses it to punctuate his rant/challenge. Then it gets returned to him... by Akane, of all people.
** Akane did it also in another episode, to Ranma; while hitting [[GenderBender her]] on the head with her HyperspaceMallet at the same time.
** Ryōga also did it once when talking smack to Ranma.
** Then there was the time that Nabiki flipped off Sōun. Given that she usually does it with her index finger, this is a non-verbal PrecisionFStrike on her part.
** And man, Ranma flips off people a lot in the manga.
** A truly epic one happens in the [[MartialArtsAndCrafts Martial Arts Dining]] arc when Ranma is stuck in an iron corset and accidentally turns [[GenderBender into his boy side.]]
--->'''Sōun:''' You call yourself my future son?!\\
'''Ranma:''' (''while flipping Sōun off'') So yells my "dad," the little French maid!
* The British V sign makes an appearance in Chapter 2 of ''Manga/RosarioPlusVampire'' when Kurumu flips off Moka after hypnotizing Tsukune into calling her a bloodsucker to her face.
* ''Manga/RurouniKenshin'':
** Kaoru does this to Megumi as Megumi leaves to go work with the local doctor, in response to Megumi telling Kenshin that she's available if he ever gets bored of Kaoru.
** Sanosuke is another repeating offender of this, famously giving Saito the finger when he declares he brushed off the defensive skills Saito taught him to fight the way he sees fit.
* In an episode of ''Anime/SamuraiChamploo'' called "Baseball Blues", a baseball team from America challenges Mugen and his friends to a baseball game, and a nasty fat player flips them off.
** At the start of the episode, when told his ship can't dock in Japan, the admiral of the American fleet announces "FUCK THEM!" (in English) while flipping the bird. [[{{Pixellation}} It's pixellated]].
* In Chapter 7 of ''Manga/SensualPhrase'' Sakuya does this to spite [[spoiler: his half brother]] Ralph, even saying "FUCK YOU!"
* In an episode of the ''Manga/SlamDunk'' anime (the scene exists in the manga, but the bird-flipping doesn't), after scoring a bucket through his own individualistic work, Rukawa tells the rest of the team (Akagi included) that he couldn't pass to anyone because they were shaking in their sneakers. Invariably, they all get pissed, and Mitsui flashes the middle finger at the "bastard freshman, trying to give me a lesson".
* In one installment of ''[[Franchise/StarTrek Star Trek: The Manga]]'', the ''Enterprise'' is up against a squadron of space mechas. Kirk orders them to stand down, and the lead mecha flips him off. (It's not actually shown; only the {{Reaction Shot}}s of the bridge officers make it clear what just happened.) The significance of the gesture is, of course, lost on the alien observer on the bridge with Kirk.
--> '''Melkor:''' One? '''One''' what? What is it trying to say?\\
'''Kirk:''' It's a very old Earth gesture, Mr. Melkor...and it tells me a lot about who we're dealing with.
* In Episode 9 of ''Manga/{{TerraforMARS}}'', [[PsychoElectricEel Adolf]] delivers one to the Roaches, before [[ShockAndAwe raining thunder from above]] all while [[RuleofSymbolism quoting epic Bible lines]].
* ''Anime/YuGiOh5Ds'': You'd think that a show about a [[SeriousBusiness Card Game]] wouldn't have this, but [[http://i902.photobucket.com/albums/ac227/DarkScytheQueen/5Ds-Caption-31.jpg You'd be wrong]]. This tends to pop up when the Hero or Lancer sets up a comeback so awesome, there's no need to bring the flipped finger up.
* In ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'', Kuwabara begins bashing Yusuke in comparison to his spirit sword vs Yusuke's spirit gun saying the gun is weaker. Yusuke responds with "That depends on which finger I'm using" while flipping Kuwabara off clearly. This was edited out of the Creator/{{Toonami}} block version. Yusuke does it again to Team Toguro at the Dark Tournament.
