In 2019, the YouTube channel ExtremeSManpig posted a video with the strange name Shirou.avi, which managed to create quite a peculiar social phenomenon. The video in question shows Twitter user @JasTheLass prompting several of his followers to use an image of Fate/Stay Night franchise protagonist Shirou Emiya as their profile picture.
Unexpectedly, fans of the franchise around the world also began posting threads quoting iconic phrases from the character to the point that it became virtually impossible to tell one user from another.
Thus, we come to today, one year after all this. Once again, fans of the series momentarily changed their profile picture to that of Shirou and made sure to show it to the world under the #ShirouDay hashtag. The movement was such that it became a trending topic in the United States.
