** [[MemeAcknowledgement We have come]] [[https://twitter.com/sonic_hedgehog/status/926617266564743168 full circle]].

* [[EarWorm "DON'T LOSE YOUR WAAAAAAAAAY"]], perhaps the most memorable line in Ryuko's {{Leitmotif}} "Before my body is dry" (not counting [[{{Narm}} "I GOTTA FIND OUT WHO KILLED MY DAD"]] as noted below).

* After ep. 22, any discussion of Nui will get derailed with arms puns.

* Ever since the reveal of Ryuko's "Senketsu Kisaragi" during the final episodes of the show, some fans have come up with a version for Satsuki that has been dubbed "Junketsu Shinzui".
** The fact that "Junketsu Shinzui" has been revealed to be a costume Satsuki will wear in ''Kill la Kill the Game: IF'' makes this an AscendedMeme.

** Amongst fans who are also into ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'', Ryuko is often compared to Seija Kijin due to their very similar hairstyles.

* {{Hello}}. [[MyNameIsInigoMontoya My name is Ryuko Matoi.]] YouKilledMyFather. PrepareToDie.

** Due to some surprising similarities and songs that fit ''Kill la Kill'', the series has also been compared consistently with VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance, complete with little submemes like "Life Fibres, girl!" in the vein of the Nanomachines meme.
** Plus, the series has often been likened to the much-longed second season for ''Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt''. Add the fact that Ryuko and Satsuki are often compared to ''Panty & Stocking'''s titular characters...

** And as of Episode 18, [[spoiler: Ryuko and Satsuki became more of a woobie when its revealed that Ragyo used Ryuko as guinea pig for life fiber experiments, disposed her through a garbage chute when she was thought to be dead, Satsuki being savagely beaten by her mother while demeaning her, and Ryuko's heart being torn from her chest by Ragyo.]] Some fans jokingly or seriously exclaim that Trigger ruined Valentine's Day because of it.
** With Kill la Kill getting added to {{Creator/Toonami}}'s schedule right after it got shortened by three and a half hours, now people are exclaiming that Kill la Kill is going to save Toonami.

* "[[MemeticMolester Headline: Girl Gets Raped by School Uniform]]"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Senketsu chose a rather ... off-putting way of putting himself on Ryuko for the first time. His dialogue during the scene definitely did not help.[[/labelnote]]

* Modified versions of [[http://img1.ak.crunchyroll.com/i/spire3/cf205e7fb9f645046c8e3c8b76d96c5a1383535370_full.jpg this image]] has been making the rounds on ImageBoards as of late.

** A variation of this is No Stars, No Fucks. [[labelnote:Explanation]]A demoted Gamagoori and Inumuta sitting on a bench next to Mako and being completely unmoved by the earth shattering fight between Ryuko and Nonon.[[/labelnote]]
** Team Satsuki [[http://25.media.tumblr.com/4c952837cd11d7c9a6cb49110f75a93c/tumblr_n0n7i8poND1s9r3d4o1_500.gif continues to give no fucks]]

* Overanalyzed Scissors.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Quite a few people were unhappy with the revelation of the killer being [[spoiler:Nui Harime]], and have gone to great lengths to try to poke holes in her confession. First they claimed that the Scissor blades didn't fit together properly and [[spoiler:Nui]] was using a counterfeit. When a flashback showed they did they claimed that the color was wrong, ignoring the fact that the coloring in each of the flashbacks is inconsistent, let alone that Isshin himself stated only one pair are in existence.[[/labelnote]]

* After Shinjiro Nagita [[spoiler:revealed "himself" to be Nui Harime in disguise, many people made jokes comparing it to [[ProfessionalWrestling Vince McMahon's]] reveal of himself as the Higher Power. This has led to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0dsS0b0eHA many spoofs]].]]

* After the reveal that the source of the life fibers [[spoiler:are aliens that have shaped mankind, many jokes relating to ancient aliens theories and Giorgio A. Tsoukalos began to surface]].

* Rainbow underhair/Disco milf [[labelnote:Explanation]] Ragyo's hair, which has, well, a luminous rainbow underlayer. This combined with its' shape has lead to a lot of image manips with Ragyo's hair shopped onto various things.[[/labelnote]]

* [[Anime/JoJosBizarreAdventure Mako's Bizarre Adventure]].[[labelnote:Explanation (spoilers!)]] When Mako ends up fighting Ryuko, her Goku Uniform happens to resemble a certain Jojo.[[/labelnote]]
* Happy Valentines Day from Trigger! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Episode 18 aired the day before Valentines and features [[spoiler:Ryuko getting her heart literally pulled out of her chest.]][[/labelnote]]
* [[VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance Life Fibers, daughter!]] [[labelnote:Explanation, spoilers to episode 18 and Metal Gear Rising Revengeance!]]Ragyo has been compared to Senator Armstong of Metal Gear Rising fame thanks to episode 18. This involves her being able to recover from fatal wounds, having her arm cut off and even ''decapitation'' thanks to Life Fibers (i.e. nanomachines), being able to [[http://25.media.tumblr.com/a675c21939fbd6e8f64096354b32ef67/tumblr_n10byzEfeR1sad17do1_400.gif break a sword in half with her bare hands]] and giving a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown to Satsuki. Though instead of having ''her'' heart ripped out, she delivers this to Ryuko instead.[[/labelnote]]

** [[ParentalIncest You're gonna get purified!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of the most infamous scenes in the show was where Ragyo raped Satsuki causing Ragyo to become a MemeticMolester. It's also used whenever something uncomfortable happens related to a child and parent being recently used for [[VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon Lusamine]].[[/labelnote]]
* Broketsu[[labelnote:Explanation]]Senketsu's devout UndyingLoyalty and PlatonicLifePartners status with Ryuko garnered him much sympathy, especially at the end of episode 19, when [[spoiler:she starts taking her self-loathing out on him, after he tries to celebrate her waking from month-long coma.]][[/labelnote]]

* "I'm crying over [[spoiler:a ''sailor uniform''."]][[labelnote:Explanation]][[spoiler:Senketsu's death]] hit Tumblr [[http://25.media.tumblr.com/5cf0d729f95827a9f9e63f987175a7f1/tumblr_n36hswFyCP1qkh89io1_1280.png pretty hard]][[/labelnote]]

''Anime/KillLaKill''. While this may be Creator/StudioTrigger's first televised series, considering what [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann the producers]] [[Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt created]], there is no surprise that this page exists. Most memes were created during the shows original run, so '''spoilers abound.'''

** After a three week hiatus, Episode 13 finally came out, and upon seeing [[spoiler: Ryuko get defeated and Senketsu getting sliced and diced by Nui]], it led to some people musing that Trigger could've ruined Christmas if the hiatus never happened. [[Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt It wouldn't be the first time they did it.]]

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55iX64NmUDA Bully La Bully]][[labelnote:Explanation]]One of many anime parodies based on [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Creator/FourKidsEntertainment 4Kids]] dubs. Bully la Bully originated as a [[http://phokingreal.tumblr.com/post/78221825255/threewholepotato-threewholepotato-help-me tumblr post]] made by Izzy Golden (tumblr: [[http://danganronpahentai.tumblr.com danganronpahentai)]] on December 23, 2013, and was simply titled "Kill la Kill 4Kids." A few months later, on March 14, 2014, Tony Le (tumblr: [[http://phokingreal.tumblr.com phokingreal)]] created a [[http://voiceactingalliance.com/board/showthread.php?92036-Kill-la-Kill-4Kids-Parody-Dub-OPEN thread]] on voiceactingalliance.com seeking voice actors to play in a video version of the parody. Tony made minor changes to the original idea, including the new title, and created the video in Camtasia Studio 8. Since Bully la Bully was uploaded to YouTube on March 31, 2014, it has received huge amounts of attention. It passed 100,000 views just days after its release and was even featured in an article on [[http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2014/04/02-1/video-what-if-4kids-localized-kill-la-kill Crunchyroll]].[[/labelnote]]

** [[ParentalIncest You're gonna get purified!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of the most infamous scenes in the show was where Ragyo raped Satsuki causing Ragyo to become a MemeticMolester.[[/labelnote]]

* "[[MemeticMolester Headline: Girl Gets Raped by School Uniform]]"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Senketsu chose a rather...off putting way of putting himself on Ryuko for the first time. His dialogue during the scene definitely did not help.[[/labelnote]]

* "I GOTTA FIND OUT WHO KILLED MY DAD"[[labelnote:Explanation]]A lyric from the full version of Ryuko's {{Leitmotif}}, declared {{Narm}} almost instantly after the release of the OST. Now being parroted all over [[ImageBoards /a/]] whenever [[YouKilledMyFather a character's father's death becomes a plot point]].[[/labelnote]]

* "Kill la Kill is going to save anime," and "ANIME IS SAVED!". These lines being parroted constantly on [[{{Imageboards}} /a/]].

* WAY STATUS[[labelnote:Explanation]]Based on the {{Leitmotif}} above, fans have created a way status symbolizing the "main" idea of the episode. Common choices are [ ]LOST, [ ]NOT LOST, [ ]IN LIMBO, and [ ]NANI SORE (see below).[[/labelnote]]

* BAKANA! (and its variation BANANA!) [[labelnote:Explanation]]A Sanageyama-centric meme which was originally a CatchPhrase for Viral in TengenToppaGurrenLagann; since they share a voice actor, posting this phrase along with images of Sanageyama became common (especially those of his defeat by Ryuko in episode 7 or Nui in episode 13). "BANANA" is a predictable mutation stemming from the character for "monkey" being part of his surname.[[/labelnote]]
