About

"This Is the Taste of a Liar!" is a memorable quote from the Japanese manga JoJo's Bizarre Adventure uttered by the deuteragonist Bruno Buccellati after finding out the protagonist Giorno Giovanna's lie and licking the sweat off his face.

Origin

The quote originally appeared in the scene from the Chapter 443 "Bucciarati Is Coming, Part 1" of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Vento Aureo, the fifth part of the manga, originally released on January 10th, 1996. [1]
In the scene, character Bruno Buccellati (Bucciarati) is questioning main protagonist Giorno Giovanna if he knows what happened to character Leaky-Eye Luca, who was in critical condition at that time because of a previous encounter with Giorno. Despite denying that he met Luca, and apparently losing Bruno, Giorno realizes he was holding Luca's right eye the entire time and starts sweating nervously. Bruno then appears behind Giorno, licks the sweat off his cheek, and proclaims that the sweat tastes like that of a liar[2].


THAT'S LUCA'S RIGHT EYE'... HE'S UNCON- SCIOUe ANYWAY, YOU'RE SWEATING NOW, I BROUGHT IT HERE. THIe TASTE..- IS THE TASTE OF A LIAR! GloRNO Glo- VANNA! 151

On January 9th, 2013, an anonymous 4chan user posted a Spongebob Squarepants parody image of the original scene[5], referencing the similarities between it and a certain scene in episode "The Smoked Peanut" where Patrick apparently licks Spongebob's face[6]. The image appeared on other sites like Tumblr, where on June 9th, 2014, a user WeeklyManga posted the image, getting 536 notes as of late July 2015[7].
