In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “JoJo's Pose” is an epic card of the Memes World series 70, number 20821 of the collection, and the 20th best-known meme of its 243 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “JoJo's Pose” meme mean?
This meme embodies boldness, assumed ridiculousness, and passionate devotion to a cult work. Using this pose allows one to transform a mundane situation into an epic, or even absurd, moment. The underlying emotion is one of self-transcendence pushed to the extreme. It is used to show that one takes something very seriously, or ironically to highlight excessive behavior. It serves as a badge of belonging to the fan community, celebrating the unique style of author Hirohiko Araki.
Where does the “JoJo's Pose” meme come from?
The documented origin of this phenomenon dates back to the launch of the 'JoJo’s Posing School' (*JoJo Dachi Kyōshitsu*) project on the Japanese community site Bungei Junkie Paradise on April 9, 2003. This initiative invited fans to reproduce poses from the manga, photograph themselves, and publish their results online. The movement's popularity quickly exceeded the digital realm, leading to physical meetups in Japan in 2003. Photos and videos from these gatherings subsequently circulated massively on platforms like Nico Nico Douga and YouTube, especially after the official events ended in 2004. The term thus refers both to the artistic style of Hirohiko Araki and to this fan-driven participatory practice.
