“Nigerundayo” became widely known through JoJo's Bizarre Adventure fandom, where the line is associated with Joseph Joestar telling Smokey to run away. Online, it spread through anime meme compilations, subtitled clips, and reaction edits because the delivery is so dramatic and recognizable. It remains popular as a quick audio cue for cowardly retreats, tactical escapes, or any moment where leaving is the funniest option. Its staying power comes from JoJo's large meme culture and the line's instant readability even in very short edits.
