About

Bro What Is Baki Even About is a catchphrase often associated with fans of Baki the Grappler, where fans paired seemingly random and nonsensical scenes from the show with the question, "Man what is Baki even about" to highlight a scene's absurdity. The phrase grew popular in late 2023, after several Baki memes went viral on X and TikTok, eventually spawning a meme trend where people used the phrase alongside scenes from random unrelated anime and manga.

Origin

The show Baki The Grappler grew gained renewed interest online after the second season of the show was released on Netflix in August 2023. Scenes from the show were taken out of context and reposted online, often paired with the refrain, "Man what is Baki even about." The phrase can be traced to captions and comments on TikTok as early as September 2023.[1][2]

The earliest known viral instance of this joke is an October 18th, 2023 TikTok[3] by @gunslinge7, where the TikToker present a JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Clip and jokes about Baki. The post gathered over 1 million plays and 50,000 likes in nine months (seen below).
