Scott Pilgrim Yuri, also known as Ramona and Roxie Kiss, refers to a brief kiss between Ramona Flowers and Roxie Richter in the Netflix animated series Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, which went viral on X on November 17, 2023 after user @pinknishii posted the scene with a shocked caption1. Within two days, redraws like a Gotham City Sirens version2 and gag edits splicing the kiss into Five Nights at Freddy's scenes3 spread across Tumblr and X.

Overview

The clip itself lasts only a few seconds. Ramona kisses her evil ex Roxie, both pause, and agree the kiss did not feel right1. Fans fixated on the brief moment and labeled it 'yuri', the Japanese term for lesbian-themed manga and anime, a fit that lined up with the show's new anime art style5.

Typical posts fall into two shapes. One is a repost or GIF of the kiss with a flustered caption like @pinknishii's 'SCOTT PILGRIM YURI???? HUH? WHAT THIS SCENE HELLO???'1. The other is a redraw or crossover edit, with the kiss restaged as Boykisser4 or as Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy from DC's Gotham City Sirens2.
