Character looks down at a sword on the ground and asks "Hey little corpse of God, how's it going?"

Next panel shows the sword surrounded by flames, angry scribbles, and those "menacing" kanji from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure

A quiet beat panel

Character says "... Yea."

Do you people also make memes off of your campaigns? Care to share some out of context?

Little sidenote; those are katakana, not kanji.

To give more context, they're entirely different writing systems; kanji are words and verb-roots written in Chinese characters, katakana simply represent the sounds of loanwords and onomatopoeia. In this case the “menacing” part isn't represented by a word with meaning but by the sound of rumbling thunder, writtem as ゴロゴロ (goro-goro). There is no dictionary definition for this, only sound, so they're written in katakana instead of kanji.
