The 'Agni Face,' often accompanied by the text 'LIVE,' originates from the dark fantasy manga series Fire Punch by Tatsuki Fujimoto. The image depicts the protagonist, Agni, forced to endure the agony of eternal flames after being commanded to live by his sister. His strained, hauntingly awkward smile has become a universal symbol for hiding immense internal suffering behind a thin veil of composure. In internet culture, the meme is frequently used to represent existential dread, the struggle of modern life, or the uncomfortable feeling of being forced to carry on through a painful situation.
