If you're a fan of the anime series Jujutsu Kaisen, you might want to head on over to TikTok. Right now, memes are going viral using a scene from the series where the character Satoru Gojo uses his devastating Hollow Purple technique to deal with minor inconveniences. But what is Hollow Purple and what makes these memes so popular? Here's what you need to know.

What Is The 'Hollow Purple' Meme?

"Hollow Purple," or "Hollow Technique: Purple," is a power, or "technique," that appears in the Jujutsu Kaisen manga and anime series. The technique is very destructive and, essentially, lets the user shoot a purple mass of energy in front of them, destroying everything in its path. It can only be used by certain members of the Gojo family and is therefore known as a "secret extension technique."

Hollow Purple first became the subject of memes on the /r/JujutsuKaisen subreddit in February 2021, shortly after it premiered in the anime. Memes referencing the technique typically rely on how destructive it is, depicting comedic situations where someone might use the technique. While memes about Hollow Purple largely stayed within their own communities for the past few years, TikTokers have recently taken the meme to a larger audience.

How Is 'Hollow Purple' Used In Memes?

In August 2023, TikTokers began going viral with memes referencing Hollow Purple. That month, Jujutsu Kaisen characters and an event were added to Fortnite, allowing players to use the technique. Fittingly, one of the earliest viral memes referencing the power also references the game.

From there, memes about the technique became increasingly popular, gaining a big boost in popularity in October. The majority of these memes show the scene where Gojo uses the power under a caption depicting a situation where a minor inconvenience forces someone to use the power, like on a teacher when they give you a bad grade. The memes are all ironic, drawing humor from the idea of using something so powerful in such an unnecessary circumstance.
