It's just a reference to a Japanese internet meme. A: "You're going to do something terrible to me! Just like in an ero doujin!" B: "No I'm not, Jesus Christ." is how it typically goes, according to the niconictionary, you're one stop shop for terrible meme explanations in Japanese.

Speaking of, this:



Is a reference to the Wall Punching Proxy Service, the people who punch walls for you when you see a normie doing normie things and need to punch a wall, but either don't have a wall to punch, or don't have the muscles with which to punch one.

thank you

tbf her having an actual knife would make the whole club advisor thing significantly more awkward even if it would line up better with old japanese internet urban legends

I'm getting the sense that this show is secretly designed to be a cautionary tale about the reluctance people have of seeking mental health treatment in contemporary japanese society.

I hope she gets her schizophrenia meds eventually.

What Japanese memes did they show?

ill steal someone elses post for this
Here's this week's little comedic jabs:

The main one is this scene when Ako screams something along the lines of :

Andaa gittan disukaa!?

Ako is actually trying to say, "Are you betraying me !?" in this scene. This is actually a 12-year-old meme, specifically from a tokusatsu (superhero) live action series called Kamen Rider Blade in 2004. The actual meme phrase is:

Onduru ruragittan disukaa!?

It's a fan-made language called "Ondul Language" or "Ondulish," which stems from bad enunciation by the actor of the protagonist -- Kazuma Kenzaki -- when he was getting beat up by the antagonist in episode 1, with his ally watching and not helping. He questions if his ally has really turned his back on him.

"Hontou ni uragittan desuka!?"
(Have you really betrayed us!?)

...was the actual phrase, but the actor's poor pronunciation produced this meme.

Here is the (in)famous scene, with the phrase being at the very, very end. The franchise has embraced the meme, using it as subtle jokes in later series.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgoIAdJN80A

In fact, that video has another famously meme'd line:

Naze miterun desu!!
(Why are you watching!!)

If someone frequents Japanese boards or comments, they'll see this phrase often when a character is just watching when something is happening, using the characters: ナズェミデルンディス!!

Other than that, they're all just pretty subtle comedic parodies.

Here is the pork reading a book who's title is: "Buront Words You Want To Say Out Loud."

Buront-ism is another internet "language" that was popularized by a poster on 2ch called Buront (simple enough). He had very unusual phrases with a brash attitude, and that made him, as well as his way with words, quite popular.

When you see phrases like:

"Kita! Tate kita!" "Main tate kita!" "Korede katsuru!"
(He's here! The tank/shield is here! The main tank/shield is here! We're going to win now!)

and

Kitanai sasuga ninja kitanai.
(Dirty. As expected from a ninja. Dirty.)

...you can be sure that the origin came from this Buront, who was a fan of FF11 and Guilty Gear.


there was a bleach reference too
