Lycoris Recoil memes emerged following the 2022 release of the original anime by A-1 Pictures, quickly becoming a staple in the anime community due to the infectious chemistry between protagonists Chisato Nishikigi and Takina Inoue. The most prominent meme, 'Sakana!' (Japanese for fish), originated from a scene where Chisato playfully lifts Takina at an aquarium to cheer her up. Beyond this, the series is known for its 'LycoReco' reaction faces and the juxtaposition of high-stakes gunfights with lighthearted slice-of-life humor. Fans use these templates to express excitement, celebrate wholesome friendships, or poke fun at the intense action tropes found throughout the show.
