Beelzebub began as a manga by Ryūhei Tamura before becoming an anime series in 2011, following delinquent Tatsumi Oga, who is forced to raise the baby demon Beelzebub. The series built its following on rowdy school fights, demonic chaos, and blunt insult comedy, which made its short, quotable exchanges easy to lift for memes and soundboards. Clips centred on Oga remain popular because his name and the show's exaggerated tone are instantly recognisable to anime fans, even years after the series ended.
