The 'I'll Never Forgive the Japanese' meme stems from a scene in the anime and manga series JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders. The protagonist of the previous arc, Joseph Joestar, utters the line while at an airport, humorously grumbling about his daughter moving to Japan despite his appreciation for Japanese technology like his Walkman. The irony of his statement, combined with his dramatic expression and the historical context of his character, made it an instant hit within the anime community. It is widely used to express lighthearted or exaggerated frustration toward anything related to Japanese media, culture, or unexpected plot twists in popular anime series.
