This is the anime representation of dogeza, a posture of self-abasement used in formal apologies and to request great favors from persons of higher social status. If things are particularly bad, or the favor is particularly big, the supplicant will touch his forehead to the ground in a full kowtow. If played for laughs this is done in a Corner of Woe, Color Failure optional. If this is towards an antagonist who still won't grant the humble person a favor, it's a good sign they're a complete Jerkass and they will be backhanded by plot karma later. And if a Hero rejects helping the supplicant, expect him/her to be HARSHLY chewed out by the rest of the cast. Compare Kneel Before Zod, Ain't Too Proud to Beg.
