5----
6* [[CrowdChant Tobirama Banzai!]][[labelnote:Explanation]]A combination of water being discovered to be Takeo's elemental affinity early on as well as chat's infamous hatred for the Uchiha led to the near deification of Tobirama amongst the fanbase. This has led to many of the aforementioned battle cries being let loose before important roles or events so that their dice may be [[RandomNumberGod blessed]]. It has almost never failed, and the instances in which the [[CrowdChant Purge]] was either not done or sabatoged, would result in low rolls.[[/labelnote]]
7** I HATE THE UCHIHA![[labelnote:Explanation]]Just as Tobirama is loved, the Uchiha are also hated with equal measure. Taking the hate up to memetic levels. Though of course, as did Tobirama have one token Uchiha, the Chat has one in Sasuke.[[/labelnote]]
8** I HATE (Insert Enemy Village)![[labelnote:Explanation]]Substitute Uchiha for an Enemy Village.[[/labelnote]]
9* [[MemeticPsychopath GFS]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Groomed For Slaughter, A trait that many or most that are involved with the shinobi lifestlye half. Revolves around the stress and trauma in the life of a shinobi. Somehow, Takeo is constantly reacting well to traumatizing situations that could give veterans a shock. Despite all this, he is well adjusted. ''Uncomfortably'', well adjusted. Depending on the rolls, things could either go [[GoneHorriblyRight Horribly Right]] or [[GoneHorriblyWrong Horribly Wrong]][[/labelnote]]
10** [[Film/AmericanPsycho Takeo Bateman]]/[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable Yoshikage Chiba]][[labelnote:Explanation]]A take on the main character Takeo and their well adjusted nature, and how their perspective is a bit skewed, even compared to other ninja. If you were to look at it a little closer, you could almost describe him to be a psychopath.[[/labelnote]]
11** [[VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance Sundowner!Takeo]][[labelnote:Explanation]][[SociopathicHero A confirmed possible direction for Takeo's character development to go through is Takeo taking that of a Sundowner approach to war.]] [[WarIsGlorious This does nothing but encourage the Chat's love for war.]][[/labelnote]]
12* [=DaveDice=]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The story was initially supposed to follow the journey of a somewhat regular shinobi of Konoha so that we could see the elemental nations through the eyes of a fairly average ninja. This idea was almost immediately derailed as Dave rolled incredibly well for Takeo's stats, chat continued to roll incredibly well for his development, then Dave failed on numerous occasions when rolling for Takeo's ''opponents''. This trend has continued throughout the quest.[[/labelnote]]
13** Sentient Dice[[labelnote:Explanation]]As it says on the tin, the Dice gaining sentience in order to screw with [=TheDave=][[/labelnote]]
14* Kakashi, The Jutsu Dispenser a.k.a The Kakagacha. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Kakashi was forced to teach one advanced elective course on elemental techniques during Takeo's tenure at the academy. Takeo managed to learn three techniques over the length of the course, and then acquired another pair of jutsu from the Copy Ninja simply from running into him a few times around the village. This, combined with Kakashi's rather hand-off teaching method, has led to many in chat referring to Kakashi as something of a Jutsu vending machine that Takeo can peruse from time to time to acquire a new technique.[[/labelnote]]
15** Kakashi PTSD[[labelnote:Explanation]]Kakashi is constantly being reminded by Takeo, albeit unintentionally, of his memories during the Third Shinobi World War. The chat, however, encourages this, making a sort of game out of it. '''Kakashi to Takeo, after creating and testing a powerful personal Raiton Technique''': "Pretty inventive stuff. We have no further relation, contact or link whatsoever outside of you experimenting with Lightning Release. No parallels. None, whatsoever. Actually, remind me, who are you again?"[[/labelnote]]
16* Whomeni. [[labelnote:Explanation]] Umeni was one of the first friends Takeo made in the academy, and someone who he has remained friends with after graduation, but her lack of presence onscreen paired with her choosing to focus on stealth and assassination rather than direct combat, which forced her and Takeo to be placed on separate Genin teams, led to a number of readers assigning the aforementioned nickname to her as a mark of her forgettability. [[/labelnote]]
17** Whotagi, Whotsu, Whogi, Who(insert character names)[[labelnote:Explanation]]Although Umeni would be the originator of the meme, this would go on to become a trend with other characters of similar instances where the character has been "gone" from the main storyline for a long while, as it has to be taken into account that one chapter can usually take up to a month or so to complete. Though this does not truly mean they are being idle, as background rolls and event happen outside of the main character's viewpoint.[[/labelnote]]
18* Nart!Quest[[labelnote:Explanation]]A sort of alternate universe quest in which the setting is in A Leaf of the Tree. Primarily made for putting into perspective how ridiculous the rolls and circumstances behind Takeo's journey outside of the story is. With the focus being on the QM and Chat reactions to the ridiculous ongoings of the "Donut Steel OC Takeo" in their respective quest. [[/labelnote]]
19** Sauce!Quest, Saku!Quest,(Insert Character)!Quest[[labelnote:Explanation]]Second Verse, Same as the First. Except with different characters.[[/labelnote]]
20* (Insert Season)OF DAVE![[labelnote:Explanation]]An expression of hubris which that the QM, thedave, usually says or declares after having good rolls, whether that be in the background or in the quest. This is usually followed soon after by jeers, cheers, laughs, and misery. As time and time again, Dave's hubris is used as a bludgeon to bring low his ego once more.[[/labelnote]]
21** VACATION OF DAVE![[labelnote:Explanation]]Same as that of the above, but filled with even more hubris.[[/labelnote]]
22* [[LegendaryCarp Kusa Karp]][[labelnote:Explanation]]A picture of a gigantic smiling Magikarp with the japanese kanji for grass(Kusa),which is a slang for "LOL". This is a reference to the [[BelligerentSexualTension infamous relationship]] between the QM, thedave, and the Moderator, magikarplv58. With the latter always infuriating the former in a [[Franchise/TomAndJerry Tom and Jerry]] like manner. It has ascended past a simple meme, and is more than often used as a mockery against Dave, or simply as a smug emote to use. See [[ImageLinks/ALeafOfTheTree ImageLinks]][[/labelnote]]
23** [[SmugSmiler Smug Karp]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Simply Kusa Karp, but edited to only have the [[SmugSmiler Smug Mocking Aura of a Karp]][[/labelnote]]
24* [[MiniMecha Kankuro Prime]][[labelnote:Explanation]]A joke made true, as Kankuro ended up placing first and winning the Suna Chuunin Exams, as well as having good rolls that ended up with him revolutionizing puppetry, supplementing the meme is an image of [[BigBrotherInstinct Kankuro]] over the [[Film/IronMan1 Iron Monger]] has led to memes of Kankuro creating a [[VideoGame/Fallout3 Liberty Prime]] expy.[[/labelnote]]
25* [[RomanticWingman Wingman Takeo]][[labelnote:Explanation]]A trend with Takeo, is that he often finds himself helping his sensei's or friends into finding their own respective love life, even when Takeo himself can be dense sometimes to the feelings of others. This has led to no lack of memes about his Wingmanning tendencies, especially when considering the Irony behind it.[[/labelnote]]
26* [[Creator/MasashiKishimoto [=TheKishi=]]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Whenever a female character rolls ridiculously bad, expect this phrase to pop up. An umbrella term used for poking fun at the fact that Kishimoto is often described by fandom for not being able to write women in the show/manga without making them another [[DamselInDistress damsel in distress]] or some sort of [[WarriorPrince warrior princess]]. A.k.a, Kishi can't write Women.[[/labelnote]]
27* Neji and The Way[[labelnote:Explanation]]In the first Chunin exams, the one who ended up facing Neji was actually Takeo himself. Neji would be defeated, and would go on to reconsider his view on fate as well as life after having his worldview torn down by Takeo. But whenever Neji talks about it however, is well, he describes it as about him finding "The Way". Cue Ugandan Clicking Noises.[[/labelnote]]
