The 'Feliz Jueves' (Happy Thursday) meme features Asuka Langley Soryu from Neon Genesis Evangelion running joyfully. It originated from a Facebook page called 'Mi lugar favorito es tu corazón,' which used the clip to create a wholesome greeting GIF. The meme became legendary due to the dark irony of the source material; the scene depicted is actually a tragic flashback involving Asuka's mother. Over time, the internet embraced the contrast between the upbeat greeting and the grim anime context, turning it into a weekly ritual. Today, users across the globe share variations of the 'Feliz Jueves' image every Thursday to celebrate the near-arrival of the weekend.
