About

Notto Disu Shitto Agen is a reaction image from the anime Code Geass R2 in which a screencap of the Emperor of Britannia has been photoshopped such that the subtitles of the scene read "Notto Disu Shitto Agen," a poor Japanese-like way of saying "Not this shit again."

Origin

The screencap comes from episode 20 of the anime Code Geass R2: Lelouch of the Rebellion, "Emperor Dismissed."^[1] In the episode, the character Lelouch addresses his father, busy imploring gods for assistance, that the gods will not help him. This scene is where the screencap comes from (fan translation of the screencap shown below).

Spread

Shortly after the episode aired, on September 6th, 2008, an edit with the text changed to "Notto disu shitto agen" appeared on Crunchyroll forums,^[2] posted by Autumn13 (shown below).

The image saw increasing use as a reaction image over the following decade. Two variations are included in Encyclopedia Dramatica's gallery for "shit no one cares about."^[3] Photobucket user beliluvsmomiji^[5] uploaded a variation commenting on bad fan subs of anime (shown below).

The phrase has been included in the show's TV Tropes page.^[6] An inquiry about the image's origins was posted to /r/OutOfTheLoop^[4] on August 30th, 2017. Additionally, there have been some variations created with various other characters from different series, though none have been as popular as the original.
