I'm Yoshikage Kira. I just want to live a quiet life.
— JoJo's Bizarre Adventure · 2012
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The humour is that the calm, domestic speech comes from a murderer. Kira's wish for a quiet life is sincere, so he treats anyone who gets in the way as a threat to remove. The speech made him one of anime's most-quoted villains, and its opening is a favourite meme template for describing your own boring daily routine.

Yoshikage Kira is introduced in the arc "Yoshikage Kira Just Wants to Live Quietly" (Diamond Is Unbreakable episodes 21 and 22, aired 19 and 26 August 2016). Kira is a salaryman and secret serial killer who keeps a severed hand as his "girlfriend" and loses it in a sandwich bag, which Shigechi takes by mistake. Confronting Shigechi, Kira recites his age, address, job, bedtime and warm milk, and says he wants a very quiet life without enemies or rivalries. The line in lines.txt is a compressed form of that speech.
