Sooo you all know the “the evil is defeated” gif thing?
I was telling my husband about this meme last night, and for kicks, I wondered what the Japanese was here. So I looked up the clip and, fun fact….
She doesn’t say this. Not anything near it. All she says is that the spirit of this girl is now in the frog and will live out its days happily. So now, when I see that meme, all I’m going to imagine is the bad thing that stopped is now a frog living… happily _;;
It does explain the expression on their faces, they are actually happy here that she’s been saved. It’s a bit of a shame that that’s lost in the English translation _;;; but it is a great example of why neeever to trust subs eheheh
SO ANYWAY, fun fact for the day :P

On January 10th, 2019, Redditor icefumo posted the image but labeled to r/destinymemes[3] and gained 86 points (97% upvoted) in a year (shown below, left).
