TikTok is full of movies making jokes roughly like the one above, however the gag has solely snowballed. One other video, which has more than 3.6 million views, makes a crack about how the whole fandom agrees that Murata is the strongest.
Now, followers are constructing on the unique joke, inventing a faux however super-powerful preventing approach that solely Murata is aware of, referred to as “galaxy breathing.” The concept has change into so standard that it’s a instructed search time period in the feedback.
This isn’t the first and certain gained’t be the final communal shitposting from the Demon Slayer neighborhood. This is the identical fandom that began roasting one another at the stay showings for Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Film: Mugen Practice, in spite of everything.
Fortunately, this time, everybody has determined to depart actuality out of it by elevating a mean character to a god-tier stage of energy.
