Originating from the 2013 action game Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, the image of Raiden and Senator Armstrong shaking hands captures a brief moment of mutual respect or ideological alignment before their climactic battle. Despite being bitter enemies with conflicting philosophies, this scene has become an internet symbol for finding common ground between two seemingly opposite groups or individuals. It frequently pairs with the 'Standing Here, I Realize' song lyrics and is widely used to highlight niche similarities between different fandoms, opposing political views, or personal habits that are unexpectedly shared by rivals.
