About
Ara Ara Army is a TikTok Cult for weebs and anime fans where members change their profile pictures to an image of TikToker @jafiki in One Piece cosplay. The cult is named after the Japanese expression ara ara and was created to combat the Minion Cult, which was popularized throughout June and July 2022.
Origin
On July 28th, 2022, TikToker[1] @jafiki posted a video where he says it's time for all the "weebs, senpais and oni-chans" to put an end to the Minion Cult by starting their own cult, called Ara Ara Army. The TikToker provides a profile picture of himself in One Piece cosplay as the cult's profile picture. He also tells cult members to comment, "Baka. The moon is ours" in any comment section they go to. The video gained over 550,000 views in two weeks (shown below).
