Yunyun is a central character from the anime series Konosuba, known for being the highly skilled but socially isolated rival of Megumin. Her meme legacy is primarily built on two pillars: her chronic loneliness and the 'Soviet Yunyun' pun. Because she is constantly shown eating alone or unsuccessfully trying to make friends, the internet adopted her as a symbol of social awkwardness. Additionally, the phonetic similarity between her name and the 'Soviet Union' led to a massive wave of communist-themed propaganda memes where users 'enlist' in her cause. These memes typically oscillate between wholesome 'protect her' sentiments and satirical political parodies.
