Aokiji, also known as Kuzan, is the ice-powered former Marine admiral from Eiichiro Oda's One Piece manga and its anime adaptation. His relaxed speech and 'lazy justice' philosophy made him a fan favorite, and short clips of his laid-back reactions circulate widely on anime soundboards and meme pages. 'Ara ara' is a common Japanese exclamation of mild surprise, and in Aokiji's deadpan delivery it became a go-to reaction sound for creators who want a cool, unbothered response to anything from plot twists to everyday fails.
