About

*Teleports Behind You* Nothing Personal, Kid is a copypasta commonly used to mockingly caption photographs of young men wielding katanas or other bladed weapons. The word "personal" is often intentionally misspelled as "personnel" or "personel."

Origin

Teleporting behind someone is a common method of besting an opponent in various action-orientated anime series, where fighters move with supernatural speed or can teleport short distances at will. On TV Tropes, the technique is listed as "No, I Am Behind You";[1] where the possible origin of the trope is linked to the rapid movement technique[2] from the Dragon Ball series. In the context of bladed weapons, the trope may have originated with the series Bleach.

The expression "nothing personal, kid" is derived from an illustration of Coldsteel the Hedgeheg, with its earliest known appearance dating back to May 29th, 2013[9] on Twitter (shown below).
