It’s now a very popular meme phrase, but it’s generally considered a harsh and rude sentence to use outside manga fandoms. This phrase’s origin comes from a famous Japanese manga (the Japanese version of comics and graphic novels) called “Hokuto no Ken”, or “Fist of the North Star” in English. So when you put the words together, you get “you are already dead”! Origin of the phrase “omae wa mou shindeiru”
It’s the equivalent of “is” or “are” in English.įinally, the word s hindeiru means “dead”. The second word wa is a verb, and it means “being”.
