Kagura Bachi became a massive internet phenomenon in late 2023, months before its official Shonen Jump release, primarily due to ironic hype and high expectations. Social media users began circulating images of the protagonist, Chihiro Rokuhira, unsheathing his katana while labeling the series as Peak Fiction. The meme's most famous phrase, 'Enough time has passed,' is often used to ironically claim a new series has already surpassed legendary titles like One Piece or Naruto. It has since evolved into a genuine celebration of the manga's striking visual style and cinematic paneling, cementing its place in anime meme history.
