Daga kotowaru, meaning but I refuse, is the signature catchphrase of Rohan Kishibe in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, especially in Diamond is Unbreakable. The line sums up Rohan's stubborn, self assured personality, as he delights in rejecting requests that bore or inconvenience him. Clips and edits of the moment spread widely in anime communities, turning the phrase into shorthand for an elegant, absolute no. It remains popular because the delivery is instantly recognisable to fans while still reading clearly as a rejection to newcomers.
