One Piece is one of the most popular, long-running anime series of all time and lately, it's been having a day in the meme sun, thanks to the One Piece is real meme. Now, off the back of "the One Piece is real," another meme known as Chopper crying (which shows the character Chopper, you guessed it, crying) is gaining steam as its own redraw format on sites like Twitter. Here's why you're seeing Chopper crying all over social media.

Where Does 'Chopper Crying' Come From?

The image of Chopper crying comes from the ninth One Piece movie, Episode of Chopper Plus: Bloom in Winter, Miracle Sakura, released in March 2008. The movie tells the tragic origin story of Chopper, who was an outcast among his reindeer tribe because of his blue nose. In one scene in the movie we see Chopper crying hysterically in the snow, his head upturned to the sky and breath pouring from his mouth. This is where the Chopper crying meme comes from.

The image didn't start to spread online as a meme until 2022, when YouTuber Roblox Gamer 33 started uploading videos setting the image to music. Then in August, a Redditor posted a One Piece Cock Edit of the character, which is exactly what it sounds like, forever tainting the image in many people's minds. These types of edits would soon spawn "the One Piece is real" format, solidifying Chopper crying as a meme of its own.

How Is 'Chopper Crying' Used In Memes?

Chopper crying is one of the most commonly used images in the One Piece is real memes. The format sees various images from One Piece edited in a stylistic way to the song "Dark Fantasy" by Kanye West, particularly stealthily censored versions of One Piece cock edit memes, giving the format a very IYKYK vibe.

In September 2022, as "the One Piece is real" memes continued to explode in popularity, the image of Chopper crying became a meme of its own. On Twitter, users began redrawing the scene with new characters crying in the same way, such as Link from The Legend of Zelda and King DeDeDe from Kirby. The meme also began to see use as a reaction image to convey sadness.
