The 'People Die If They Are Killed' meme originates from the 2006 Studio Deen anime adaptation of Fate/stay night, where the protagonist Shirou Emiya utters the redundantly obvious line during a heartfelt moment. While the line makes sense in its original context—referring to the loss of his supernatural healing ability—out of context, it became a legendary example of anime 'logic' and tautology. It gained massive traction on image boards like 4chan and Reddit, spawning a trend of highlighting other redundant anime subtitles, such as 'The Archer class really is made up of archers.' Today, it is used globally to mock people stating the painfully obvious or to celebrate the unintentional humor found in translated media.
