Kantai Collection, often abbreviated as KanColle, began as a 2013 Japanese web browser game that anthropomorphizes historical World War II naval vessels into 'ship girls' or Kanmusu. The franchise's meme status exploded as fans latched onto specific character quirks, such as Akagi’s insatiable hunger, Yuudachi’s 'Poi' catchphrase, and Shimakaze’s speed. Memes usually revolve around the frustrations of resource management, the RNG of combat, or the eccentricities of the girls' personalities. Whether it is 'Burning Love' or reaction shots of crying destroyers, KanColle memes are a staple of anime internet culture, blending historical military trivia with moe aesthetics to create unique, often chaotic, humor.
