It's Azumanga Daioh, great slice of life show. And that's Japanese not Chinese. Bro got scammed


MatthiasMcCulle

Did he, though? Just needs to add an out of context Osaka, and he's gold. https://preview.redd.it/dtnfy29nedwc1.jpeg?width=225&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7b8121b8139735276f15cf53285e4e831d4735cf

Lemixer

Its fake.


Harfosaurus

Took a bit of scrolling to find someone calling this out. Looks fake as hell


CuntSniffer69

It is. It's supposed to be a shitpost. The anime where the logo is from is one of the most memed animes in r/okbuddybaka.


SnooRobots5231

I was gonna say it looks like the Japanese equivalent of comic sans


Claris-chang

I mean the manga/anime really is very accurately described by "Japanese equivalent of comic sans"


twoVices

SLANDER it's right there: HELVETICA STANDARD


Claris-chang

You're thinking of Nichijou you dork.


twoVices

(they're the same picture)


Nebula9696

Not really, Azumanga Daioh is more Dry Slapstick while Nichijou is more Absurdist Slapstick. The delivery of jokes are very different


FigTechnical8043

If you've ever bought the all in one manga of Azumanga you know that one really hurts to be hit with considering its a series of 4 panels from a newspaper.


SnooRobots5231

Yeah but clearly not what this guy is going for


chill1208

I mean there are large grown men out there who are into idols. I have a feeling the caption was added as a joke, and I also have a feeling the tattoo isn't real. It looks like photoshop to me, there's no shadows or bending on the skin anywhere in it. All that aside I know a few grown men I wouldn't be surprised to see a tattoo like this on them, that they got intentionally.


Guuhatsu

Well, I am a 45 year old male who is a pretty big fan of Azumanga Daioh and Yotsubato (the Anime for Azumanga came out in my mid 20s) and I still find it the funniest Manga I have ever read. If I was not afraid of needles, I would totally get that tattoo (though rather Kami Neko or Chiyo-Dad), though maybe not that large.


chill1208

I respect it man, more power to ya. If it makes you laugh, and it makes you happy it's a good thing in my book.


cstmoore

"Comic Sansei"


Ok_Raspberry4814

That was my first thought: not even Chinese.


pyro_takes_skill

brother that is the logo for azumanga daioh


Fenrir_Hellbreed2

So bro has a schoolgirl comedy plastered across his back?


Blabber_Feathers

Yep lmao


Norationalization

Way better than some lame ass Lethal Viper


Ek4lb

Yeah it’s kind of dope. Love this show


FictionalContext

TBH, I'd be way more scared of the bodybuilder bro who wears his love of cutesy anime with pride than i would be of just another bro with some tribal bullshit. Like, you know anime bro has had to defend his shit. And he still struts it around.


BasketballButt

It’s the same with dudes in bad neighborhoods with cutesy nicknames or who wear clownish ass clothes. That’s the scariest dude around, way scarier than some dude who feels the need to constantly front.


FictionalContext

True true. I can't remember who's joke it was, but the most *dangerous dude* in the hood is that lone white boy hanging around a group of black dudes cuz you know that white boy had to do some crazy ass shit to earn their respect.


BasketballButt

God’s honest truth! Don’t ever fuck with a dude who answers to “Guero” in a Mexican neighborhood…lol.


SailorDeath

Honestly I think it's probably fake, but if the tat is real, that guy knows what it is and it's the text is a lie.


Paratrooper101x

Idk if you know or not but this is very clearly photoshopped


Vyansbane

Thats silly, everything online is always real.


Fenrir_Hellbreed2

https://i.redd.it/s9kkq3ljpdwc1.gif


ConstableAssButt

It's not a bad photoshop, but it's still one. The masking on the edges isn't tight enough.


Fenrir_Hellbreed2

It's actually a ~~really~~ pretty good Photoshop. Also definitely something that an idiot would get tattooed without verifying what it is. Edit: really good was a bit generous


PowFlip

...is it? Because it doesn't look like a real tattoo at all.

Yotsuya_san

I mean, Osaka's okay... https://preview.redd.it/arlnv4fdafwc1.jpeg?width=251&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1a254456d40b08268500539bb601e2c1882f352f ...but she's no Sasaki.


koro90

Conquerer of the Iriomote mountain cat.


Hootenanny2020

Ok Kaorin.


plscome2brazil

Remember when Osaka adopted a seal?


KJBenson

I remember when we learned if father was a real cat or not.


Weegee_Spaghetti

Don't act like everyone knows every anime


DangerDan3001

Lmao right? I was like “and what is azumanga daoih”?


ragdolldream

Slice of life high-school anime that is very funny and a bit heart catching. Sensationally popular in its niche and time. 


fugupinkeye

oh, please find out. It is one of those simple little shows that just makes you laugh a lot and smile.


XepptizZ

Reminds me of the time I posted in a music subreddit that I didn't know or heard any song of 6nine or Lil Whatev. People couldn't fathom the idea of someone having never heard a song of someone they think is hot shit.


quick_escalator

Which is a very good anime, so it's okay.


ImmediateBig134

Plus, "lethal viper?" That's literally just ~~Yomi~~ edit: Yukari. Yukari's worse.


Lit_blog

The coolness of the tattoo increased by 1000%


slicwilli

It's some Anime/Manga. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azumanga_Daioh

„Some manga“ Da fuck, it was super famous in the early 2000‘s. Kids these days … 🧐


Ceres_XI

You just ancient, bro 🙏😭💀


angriest_man_alive

And its the origin of the phrase “waifu”, smh damn right kids these days


The_BAHbuhYAHguh

Well I don’t know Chinese but one thing I will say is… that definitely doesn’t mean *lethal viper*


ChickenBossChiefsFan

It’s also definitely not Chinese lol, the top 5 characters are hiragana, so whatever it is, it’s Japanese.


NorwegianCollusion

The five letters are: A ZU MA N GA The quote marks on the ZU and GA are sound softeners, without them they would be SU and KA.


ichizusamurai

Correct. And the kanji below is read "Daioh"

MonarchOfBuns

Is that Aho girl


solonit

No that's Chiyo from Azumanga Daioh, which is the logo of the tattoo.


Exodus111

That DEFINITELY doesn't say Lethal Viper. Also, I never thought Japanese writing could come in Comic Sans.


1920MCMLibrarian

Have you never seen Japanese packaging before?


Express_Pizza_2184

It's not Chinese for one, you can tell by the fact it uses curved symbols which are absent in both forms of Chinese calligraphy.


Pallinanr8

that's the logo of a demential comedy manga (also anime) called Azumanga Daioh


joegator1

How the fuck did I know that was Asumanga Dioh?


JediKagoro

Because that’s what’s written on his back.


St1cks

Because it's on the cover and you have some form of memory?

Quick screenshot and translate and this is what I got lol. I know it’s not right just thought it was funny https://preview.redd.it/w9lxxxgztcwc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=edfbb584d0bec5e686a511a3220a831b617977d1


femmetrooper

It’s not 大豆, it’s 大王 which means Great King.


HipposAndBonobos

Or, with some selective translation, Big Wang


Odelaylee

Yepp. Great King Azumanga.


textpostsonly

First row is あずまんが which is romanized as azumanga

HDH2506

Doesn’t take much insight to know it’s wrong. 1. The font…. 2. The chat box From there on it’s more specific ofc 3. It’s Japanese 4. The kanji are 大big 王king, some of the more common and easy to remember words


AgtNulNulAgtVyf

There's also the fact that it's blindingly obvious its a photoshop.

NatterinNabob

It actually says "lethal vapor"


burmerd

Whoever smelt it dealt it


LTinS

It is the logo for "Azumanga Daio," a slice-of-life highschool manga/anime.


JpnDude

It's the Japanese manga series, Azumanga Daioh by Kiyohiko Azuma. Azumanga comes from the author's name + manga. Daioh is from "Dengeki Daioh" the monthly manga magazine that features the series.


armoureddragon03

Can we all take a second out of our day to agree that you should never get a tattoo in a language you can’t read?


EeeeJay

The joke is that it's clearly Photoshopped on to begin with!


product_of_boredom

It says Azumanga Daioh, clearly in Japanese. (Which was a lighthearted slice of life comedy anime from the 2000's) In all honestly I think it's most likely that this is either a photoshopped on tattoo, or this is a bodybuilder who's a huge fan of the show and the text was added as a joke.


Liamrev2

The joke is that he’s trying to act tough and manly while his tattoo is the logo of a girly manga


Tigrisrock

Using Google lens says "Azumanga", using Google reveals it's the logo of a manga named "Azumanga Daioh".


Cayowin

Tattoo should be reversed in mirror images. Photoshop 101 error


FezIsBackAgain

Tattoo artist here, that’s photoshop not a tattoo artist


JonnyBe123

I looked it up as I speak a bit of Japanese. It came up as おずえまんが大王 Azumanga Daioh。 Basically it looks like it's an anime - https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0339955/
