JoJo's Bizarre Adventure began as Hirohiko Araki's manga in 1987 before its long-running anime adaptation, and its characters became famous for shouting dramatic English phrases like oh no and oh my god in the middle of fights. Clips of those reactions spread through YouTube edits, meme compilations, and soundboards alongside other staples like the To be Continued ending gag. The short exclamation stayed popular because it is instantly recognizable to anime fans yet clear enough for anyone to understand as panic.
