The Totoro Bus Stop Parody stems from the iconic scene in Hayao Miyazaki's 'My Neighbor Totoro,' where Satsuki waits for her father in the rain, only for the giant forest spirit Totoro to appear next to her with a leaf on his head. This specific imagery became a massive cultural phenomenon, spawning countless fan-art mashups where Totoro or the girls are replaced by characters from other franchises like Star Wars, Pokémon, or Dark Souls. It is widely used to represent an unlikely or awkward meeting between two distinct worlds, often leaning into the contrast between the original scene's peaceful, whimsical atmosphere and the chaotic or dark nature of the parody characters.
