Perfect Recreation of the Naoya Meme! Fans React to Mamo Morino & Karin Osanai's Parody in the Stage Production of "Bocchi the Rock!" with "Yamada-han, You've Really Become a Genuine Scumbag"

An off-shot from the stage production of "Bocchi the Rock!" was shared on musician Mamo Morino's official X account, and its incredibly humorous content combined with the high accuracy of recreating a composition known as a global internet meme has become a hot topic.

The shared image features the hashtag "#舞台ぼっち" (Stage Bocchi). For some reason, it parodies the motion commonly known as the "hair sweep punch" performed by the character Naoya Zenin from "Jujutsu Kaisen," and features both Morino and actress/model Karin Osanai, who also appears in the same stage production.

In the image, Morino, dressed in the pink jersey outfit of the protagonist Hitori Gotoh from "Bocchi the Rock!," is shown raising both hands in a frightened reaction. Next to her, Osanai, dressed as Ryo Yamada, strikes a pose while sweeping back her blue bangs with one hand and smoothly thrusting out her fist with the other. This is believed to be a recreation of the characteristic combat movement shown by Naoya Zenin in "Jujutsu Kaisen."

"Bocchi the Rock!" is a four-panel manga by Aki Hamaji. It depicts the daily lives of high school girls who perform as the band "Kessoku Band." The stage production "LIVE STAGE 'Bocchi the Rock!'" which has been running since 2023, has received high praise, with one of its highlights being authentic live performance scenes where the cast themselves play instruments. Currently, the fourth installment of the series is being performed from February 7 to February 23, 2026.

In response to this post, fans commented with reactions such as "This is so funny I can't channel my cursed energy," "Even Naoya would smile at this," "Yamada-han, you've really become a genuine scumbag," and "The fact that they willingly took on the role of trash is too hilarious (lol)."
