# It's Finally a Friday "It's Finally a Friday" is a three-panel exploitable taken from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 3: Stardust Crusaders, where five weary heroes react to news of their arrival with theatrical relief. Western fans picked up the scene in April 2014 when the anime adaptation aired[1], and by October that year Tumblr editors were swapping the final caption to celebrate the Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS launch[6]. ## Origin The source image is a page from Chapter 179 of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 3: Stardust Crusaders, in which Jotaro Kujo, Joseph Joestar, Jean Pierre Polnareff, Noriaki Kakyoin, and Mohammed Avdol finally reach the outskirts of Egypt after a brutal cross-continental journey from Japan filled with Stand battles[2]. The three panels frame the group's reaction to the realization with Araki's signature theatrical poses and shocked facial lines[1]. Outside Japan, the earliest known appearance of the panels traces to NeoGAF forum member Ezlac on April 4, 2014, the same day the Stardust Crusaders anime adaptation's pilot episode premiered[1]. The original comic edit's artist is not confirmed, so attribution within the fandom points to the earliest documented Western poster rather than a verified meme creator[4]. - **Platform:** NeoGAF / Tumblr (viral spread) - **Creator:** Unknown - **Date:** 2014 ## Overview Edits swap the "it's finally a Friday" caption for any long-awaited payoff, from game launches to the end of a brutal work week[4]. Humor in the three-pane format hinges on the overwrought art style of mangaka Hirohiko Araki, whose characters collapse, clasp hands, and tear up over what the replacement caption reframes as ordinary news[2]. Most edits keep the panel layout intact and only rewrite the final line, while some versions splice in anime gifs from the scene to amplify the drama[3]. By the late 2010s, "It's Finally a Friday" mingled with the Yakuza Disco Minigame meme stream on Twitter, with fans pairing JoJo's exhausted heroes with Yakuza dance clips for weekend-themed posts[7]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is It's Finally a Friday?
