Rockman Series / So what's with the hand gesture?
« on: February 15, 2009, 05:30:03 PM »
I had this tagged on G'FAQs for some time, but it didn't get answered:
If I had the slightest clue what to look for, I'd search myself. It's not a big deal, but I'm cleaning out my tagged topics and thought I may as well give this board a shot before I delete the link and forget about it.

There's a little characteristic of early Mega Man artwork, where characters are seen making a hand gesture (all fingers spread out except middle and ring finger) that was quite prevalent until Mega Man X3. The gesture made a return with MM9, and I've always wondered if there was anything behind it.
Now, an artwork from prominent Mega Man manga artist Hitoshi Ariga that seems to explain this has come to my attention. Problem is, I can't read Japanese. So I would like to respectfully ask anyone here fluent in the language to translate this artwork for me. You don't have to translate everything, just the gist of it.
