Raiden Punching Armstrong refers to a quick-time event from the 2013 video game Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance in which the protagonist, Raiden, rapidly punches the main villain, Senator Steven Armstrong, in the stomach to no effect. The scene, often combined from the song "It Has to Be This Way" from the game's soundtrack, has been used as source material for image macros, video captions, GIF captions and remakes.
