# We're Here to Kill Chaos We're Here to Kill Chaos is a line delivered by Jack, the hero of Square Enix's Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin, whose June 13, 2021 E3 trailer drew immediate mockery for the character's single-note obsession with the word Chaos. Within minutes, 4chan's /v/ board filled with threads riffing on the dialogue, and the term chaosposting was coined that same evening. By June 14, an exploitable image of Jack winding up a punch at Chaos was circulating on Twitter and YouTube as a reaction template. ## Origin On June 13, 2021, Square Enix revealed Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin at the Electronic Entertainment Expo through a trailer uploaded to its YouTube channel[1]. Jack, the main character, spoke almost exclusively about his plan to kill Chaos, and the clip was ridiculed online within minutes of airing. Moments after the trailer went live, an anonymous poster opened a thread titled CHAOS on 4chan's /v/ board[2], which hit the 640-reply limit inside 14 minutes. Later in that same thread, another anonymous user called the trend chaosposting[3], and the label stuck across 4chan and Twitter. Square Enix developed the game; the meme format itself was coined by anonymous /v/ users that night. - **Platform:** YouTube (trailer) / 4chan /v/ (viral spread) - **Creator:** Unknown - **Date:** 2021 ## Overview Chaosposting takes two main forms: dubbed video edits that swap another character's dialogue for Jack's Chaos-fixated lines, and image macros built from a still of Jack mid-punch aimed at Chaos[7]. Posts cram the word Chaos into every available slot of a given template, playing on how little else the Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin trailer actually revealed about Jack's personality[1]. Much of the humor rides on Jack's generic bald-and-stubbled design paired with his single-track script, which viewers compared to a parody of grimdark action protagonists. Anonymous /v/ posters set the tone with CAPS-LOCK threads where the only valid reply was some variation on the word Chaos[2]. ## How It Spread Across June 13 and 14, 2021, further /v/ threads carried the joke forward with new edits and reaction templates[6]. On Twitter, @UltimaShadowX's chaosposting tweet collected more than 900 retweets and 4,300 likes inside a day[4]. On YouTube the same evening, user GKP uploaded a dubbed clip that reached over 5,100 views within 24 hours[5]. On June 14, an anonymous /v/ user posted an exploitable template based on a still of Jack winding up a punch toward Chaos[7]. Other posters immediately remixed the image, swapping the Chaos target for unrelated characters, logos, and in-jokes[8]. KYM documented the trend the same week, archiving the dubbed videos and the Jack-punch exploitable as the two anchor formats of chaosposting[7]. ## How to Use A typical chaosposting post either overdubs an unrelated scene with Jack shouting about killing Chaos, or uses the Jack-punching-Chaos still as an exploitable where the target of the punch is swapped for whatever the poster wants to see destroyed[8]. Common convention is to repeat the word Chaos several times in dialogue for emphasis, mimicking Jack's rhythm in the trailer[6]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is We're Here to Kill Chaos?
