About

We're Here to Kill Chaos is a line of dialogue spoken by Jack, the main character of Square Enix's upcoming game Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin. Following the premiere of the trailer at E3 2021, the character became mocked for his generic design and his frequent use of the word "Chaos," with a still image of Jack punching Chaos gaining popularity as an exploitable. The memes mocking the character's obsession with Chaos are known as Chaosposting.

History

On June 13th, 2021, the announcement trailer for the upcoming video game Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin, a spin-off of the Final Fantasy series, premiered[1] at the 2021 Electronic Entertainment Expo.

I'm here to kill Chaos, that's my mission. […]
Looks like Chaos has been waiting for us. […]
I only know one thing: I want to kill Chaos. I need to. It's not a hope or a dream, it's like a hunger, a thirst. […]
This is a shrine of Chaos, he's here. We just have to hunt him down. […] Chaos! […] We're here to kill Chaos!

I've come to make an announcement:

Chaos the demon's a bitch ass motherfucker. He pissed on my fucking life. That's right, he took his timeline fucking spiked tail out and he pissed on my fucking life and he said his tower was "this big" and I said "that's disgusting".

So I'm making a callout post on my twitter dot com: Chaos the demon, you got a small sword, its the size of this crystal except way smaller. And guess what? Here's what my sword looks like. That's right baby, all metal, no fiends, no timeloops, look at that it looks like berserk and a buster.

He fucked my life so guess what? I'm gonna fuck the tower. That's right this is what you get, MY SUPER LASER PISS. Except I'm not pissing on the tower, I'm gonna go higher, I'M PISSING ON THE MOON. HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT GARLAND, I PISSED ON THE MOON YOU IDIOT!

You have twenty-three hours before the piss drop-el-ets hit the fucking kingdom, now get out of my fucking sight, before I piss on you too.
