About

Yeetus Vanitas is a phrase coined in parody of a scene in Kingdom Hearts III in which Sulley from Monsters Inc. tosses the villainous Vanitas into a door to another dimension. He then tosses the door into another door several times in an effort to make sure Vanitas couldn't come back. The phrase uses an intentionally misspelled version of Yeet.

Origin

Several days prior to the release of Kingdom Hearts III, an anonymous 4chan user posted a photoshopped image of what the scene looks like, titling the image "yeetus vanitas.png"^[1] (shown below).

On February 6th, YouTuber SoraUltimateKeybladeMaster posted an edit of the scene using the audio from the This Bitch Empty! Yeet! Vine (shown below, left). User The Nameless posted a video setting the scene to music from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure adventure (shown below, right).
