The 'Zanzibart... Forgive Me' meme is a popular parody of the dialogue tropes found in FromSoftware games like Elden Ring and Dark Souls. It mocks the dramatic, often cryptic apologies bosses make to an unseen master or mentor before entering a difficult second phase or unleashing a devastating attack. While 'Zanzibart' is not an actual character in the game's lore, the name has become a community-favorite stand-in for these overly serious moments of transformation. It is widely used to accompany images of characters striking dramatic poses, signifying that the user is about to 'go all out' or commit to a ridiculous action after a brief, faux-serious apology.
