Overview

Abbacchio Joins The Kicking is an object-labeling meme built from a scene in the anime JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind1. The three-panel format shows gang members Naranchia Ghirga and Guido Mista beating up a man in a white suit while Leone Abbacchio calmly watches with a glass of red wine, then sets down the glass and joins the fight in the final panel2.

The format works because Abbacchio's shift from calm observer to full participant maps onto situations where a third party finally piles on. The visual gag turns on the contrast between his composed wine-drinking pose and the beating happening beside him2.

The scene comes from episode 22 of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind, titled "The 'G' in Guts," which premiered in Japan on March 15th, 20191. In the episode, Naranchia accidentally splashes red wine onto a stranger in a white suit, prompting a violent reaction, and Naranchia and Guido Mista start beating him while Abbacchio watches with his own wine glass before eventually joining in3.

On the same day the episode aired, Redditor ColmanLegrand posted a three-panel image based on the scene with the three characters labeled as object slots for a template2. ColmanLegrand also dropped an unlabeled version in the comment section so other users could plug in their own labels2.

How It Spread

The original post pulled in over 2,600 upvotes within four days of going up2. From there, the template moved quickly through JoJo and anime meme communities during the back half of March 20194.

r/Animemes4 and r/ShitpostCrusaders5 became the two main hubs for the format. Users applied the three-panel structure to fandom drama, pile-on jokes, and school-life scenarios where two allies go after a shared target and a third one shows up late3.

How to Use This Meme

The template typically uses three panels. The first two show Naranchia and Guido Mista beating up a target (labeled with two aggressors and a common enemy), and the third panel shows Abbacchio setting down his wine glass to join in (labeled with a third party who arrives late after initially watching from the side)2.
