It is well-known that there is not stopping the meme-makers on the Internet if they decided to turn an absolutely normal seeming picture into laugh-generating content. It is then no surprise that a new picture”Is this a pigeon?” was not spared either. The picture has caught the attention of people on social media and this time, instead of making hilarious memes out of it, the Netizens have gone far too deep. They are using it now to voice their anguish, sorrow and most importantly, confusion using the picture and obviously, by giving it different contexts. Taken from the third episode of the anime The Brave Fighter of Sun Fighbird, the scene is that of an alien android Yutaro Katori under the ‘disguise’ of a man. However, he is proved wrong as he mistakes a butterfly for a pigeon.
Although it first premiered in 1992, it has resurfaced and how. Clearly, people on the Internet forget nothing. And soon the dazed expression of the protagonist has led to a plethora of memes, linking to different situations. The meme has now become a prototype for people who have no clue what is happening. From existential crisis, puberty, friendship to loneliness, there is a “Is this a pigeon” meme for every situation. Do not believe us? Well, read the tweets and find out for yourself.

The Brave Fighter of Sun Fighbird was created by Takara and Sunrise and was directed by Katsuyoshi Yatabe. This is the second series in the long-running Brave metaseries. The way it has come back is bound to reflect on its popularity.
