History Memes / FireEmblemThreeHouses

* Fish. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Flayn's obsession with fish, Seteth's insistence of giving Flayn more fish, and fishing being the most effective way to gain professor levels given you have enough bait, has not gone unnoticed by the fans. Some are even starting to say that Flayn has a fish fetish.[[/labelnote]]

* Death Knight is ''scared'' of Lysithea. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Lysithea is one of the few characters that can quickly defeat the Death Knight thanks to being a supreme GlassCannon that came equipped with an anti-cavalry black magic. This is turned into a meme where the Death Knight is shown to have a severe phobia about a little sickly white haired mage girl, like "I fear no man. But that little girl... she scares me."[[/labelnote]]

* Seteth's Quests/#[=SetehSays=] [[labelnote:Explanation]]People often replace Seteth's quests in edits with ridiculous problems, such as him and Flayn being stuck at a UsefulNotes/McDonalds or asking Byleth to find Edelgard and have her stop terrorizing Flayn in {{VideoGame/Minecraft}}. [[https://twitter.com/mpwhitten/status/1157550070583029760 It doesn't help that Mark Whitten has been getting in on the action, either.]][[/labelnote]]

* [[StopHavingFunGuys Halt. You're having a bit too much fun]].[[labelnote:Explanation]]In the same demo, the Flame Emperor teleports behind the Reaper Knight & says this to him.[[/labelnote]]

* Claude, the Shounen Hero[[labelnote:Explanation]] This started after the E3 trailer showed Claude giving a heartfelt speech about hearts and friendship, but it really took off once everyone started playing the Golden Deer route and saw that the route ends [[spoiler: with you breaking into a secret base and busting up some giant robot mechas.]][[/labelnote]]

* Showing students with flowers [[labelnote:Explanation]]Offering Gifts to students is the easiest way to get their Support up for recruitment, and players receive a large amount of flowers from Gardening through normal gameplay.[[/labelnote]]

* Linhardt, the lovechild of [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade Lyn]] [[CrossoverShip and]] [[VideoGame/FireEmblemThracia776 Reinhardt]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Reinhardt and Lyn's Brave variations were known for being one of the deadliest GameBreaker duos in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes''. When a trailer showed Linhardt, whose name sounds like a PortmanteauCoupleName and whose hair is slicked back like Reinhardt's and green and ponytailed like Lyn's, and the trailer using Linhardt specifically choosing to master in riding on horseback and magic, people joked that the devs had canonized them as a ship and given them a child.[[/labelnote]]

* Bernie [[labelnote:Explanation]]During the Nintendo Treehouse event on day 2 at the Three Houses gameplay showcase, the woman playing the game referred to Bernadetta as "Bernie". Cue 2020 jokes.[[/labelnote]]

* Male Byleth's [[LikesOlderMen fetish for older men]].[[labelnote:Spoilers]]Pre-release reviews revealed the ientity of the male S Supports for Male Byleth (thus understood at the time to be {{Gay Option}}s). Two of these three options are Alois, who has a wife and a daughter old enough to attend Garreg Mach, and Gilbert, who is Annette's father, leading to many fan comics depicting StacysMom scenarios complete with a [[ParentWithNewParamour horrified]] Annette. However, in the final game it turned out that the ultimate relationship is platonic, not romantic. In fact, with Alois, male Byleth marries a nameless female villager. Nevertheless, some lines in the earlier part of the S rank could be taken as flirty and leading up to a romantic confession on Byleth's side, resulting in some people keeping this meme alive (or in other cases accusing this conversation of being an unfortunate case of BaitAndSwitchLesbians).[[/labelnote]]

* Alabama 101 [[labelnote:Spoilers]]One of Byleth's love interests ([[LikesOlderWomen for both]] [[BiTheWay genders]]) is ''Rhea''. Rhea is the reincarnation of Seiros -- the daughter of Sothis -- and Sothis is currently residing inside Byleth. Rhea is also responsible for creating Byleth's mother. Put two and two together, and you get ParentalIncest (and even Grandparental Incest) ''UpToEleven''.[[/labelnote]]

* Speaking of [=JoJo=], the fact that Creator/TakehitoKoyasu voices Seteth ([[spoiler:and female Byleth's romantic option]]), Dio memes were ''bound to happen'':

* Upside-down Claude [[labelnote:Explanation]]After the box art for the regular copy of ''Three Houses'' [[https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/1104124634696421377 was revealed,]] fans took note of Claude being the only character that is displayed upside-down on the cover. Memes and jokes ranged from Claude actually being ComicBook/SpiderMan to photoshopping Claude's character portrait upside down when displaying him.[[/labelnote]]

* Marianne, the daughter of [[VideoGame/FireEmblemGaiden Berkut and Rinea]].[[labelnote:Explanation]]Marianne's hairstyle and color look very similar to a cross between those two, leading to basically everyone joking that she's their child. This meme was strengthened by the fact that Marianne has skills in white magic (liker her "mother") and lances and riding (like her "father").[[/labelnote]]

** Seteth: Oh? You’re approaching me? Instead of running away, you’re coming right to me?\\
Byleth: I can’t [[spoiler:marry]] you without getting closer.\\
Seteth: Ho ho! Then come as close as you like.

* "Hoes Mad". [[labelnote:Explanation]]Whenever people complain about the quantity of Fire Emblem content on Nintendo's Twitter, the fanbase is quick to respond with [[https://twitter.com/MasterRonin/status/1150427914527236096 this image]].[[/labelnote]]

** Edelgard's speech on how the crests are ruining the world generated some humorous parodies during pre-release, ranging from parodying one of [[Franchise/StarWars Anakin]]'s lines as [[Film/RevengeOfTheSith "From my point of view, the crests are all evil!"]], to Edelgard expressing anger at the popular toothpaste brand Crest.
** Linhardt, the lovechild of [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade Lyn]] [[CrossoverShip and]] [[VideoGame/FireEmblemThracia776 Reinhardt]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Reinhardt and Lyn's Brave variations were known for being one of the deadliest GameBreaker duos in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes''.

** After the 2/13/19 Direct, people began comparing the game to ''Franchise/HarryPotter'' due to the PlayerCharacter being a teacher training students on how to use weapons and spells, culminating in jokes about your character being "the next Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher." The titular Three Houses being the houses that the students at the Officer's Academy are sorted into helps quite a bit. Comparisons to the ''VideoGame/PokemonGo'' teams and [[Anime/YuGiOhGX the dorms at Kaiba's Duel Academy]] are also common for similar reasons.
** The game's promotion/class change system takes the form of exams, which was demonstrated by having Edelgard take the "Brigand Exam", spawning many jokes about how various brigands from the previous games were actually highly educated with degrees in Banditry.
** Pointing out that Dorothea's hat makes her look like [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders Jotaro Kujo]] and the ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure JoJo]]'' memes that followed.
** Speaking of [=JoJo=], the fact that Creator/TakehitoKoyasu voices Seteth ([[spoiler:and female Byleth's romantic option]]), Dio memes were ''bound to happen'':

Memes and jokes ranged from Claude actually being ComicBook/SpiderMan to photoshopping Claude's character portrait upside down when displaying him.[[/labelnote]]
** Soraya Manuela [[labelnote:Explanation]]Manuela looks a lot like [[FountainOfMemes Soraya Montenegro]] from ''Series/MariaLaDelBarrio'' and has a name that sounds like it could come from the show, prompting many artists to redraw existing Soraya memes as Manuela.[[/labelnote]]
** Punished Dimitri [[labelnote:Explanation]]Post time-skip, Dimitri resembles Punished Snake from ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolidVThePhantomPain''.[[/labelnote]]
** Bernie [[labelnote:Explanation]]During the Nintendo Treehouse event on day 2 at the Three Houses gameplay showcase, the woman playing the game referred to Bernadetta as "Bernie". Cue 2020 jokes.[[/labelnote]]

** People comparing Edelgard's appearance and house colors to [[Series/GameOfThrones Daenerys Targaryen]]. This only intensified after the reveal of her timeskip design.
** Marianne, the daughter of [[VideoGame/FireEmblemGaiden Berkut and Rinea]].[[labelnote:Explanation]]Marianne's hairstyle and color look very similar to a cross between those two, leading to basically everyone joking that she's their child.[[/labelnote]]
** Ingrid The Otome Game Protagonist.[[labelnote:Explanation]]With the reveal of her bio that she is ChildhoodFriends with Dimitri, Felix, and Sylvain many started joking about her being the otome game protagonist; being designed by Chinatsu Kurahana, who is known for her works on otome games, and being voiced by Manaka Iwami, who voices Tohru Honda in the new animated adaptation of ''Manga/FruitsBasket'', didn't help either.[[/labelnote]]
** "Hoes Mad". [[labelnote:Explanation]]Whenever people complain about the quantity of Fire Emblem content on Nintendo's Twitter, the fanbase is quick to respond with [[https://twitter.com/MasterRonin/status/1150427914527236096 this image]].[[/labelnote]]

** "If the teacher doesn't show up for class in five years, we're legally allowed to start a war/kill each other."[[labelnote:Explanation]]A spin on a memetic myth about being able to leave class without being considered absent/getting in (legal) trouble if the teacher hasn't shown up to start class within the fifteen minutes that it's supposed to have begun.[[/labelnote]]
** [[VideoGame/Persona5 Looking cool Byleth!/Go to sleep, Byleth!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Creator/CassandraLee voices Sothis in the dub of the game, and comparisons to Morgana (whom Cassandra also voices) have skyrocketed. It doesn't help that many people say ''Three Houses'' feels like a ''Persona'' game, or that Sothis is Byleth's companion the same way Morgana is to Joker.[[/labelnote]]
** [[https://twitter.com/CanYouPetTheDog/status/1154615157240324096 No dog petting?]] Game's trash.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Nearly everyone's response ([[PoesLaw some joking, others not]]) to learning that you can't pet the [[PreciousPuppy dog]] was to trash the game, claim they're returning it, rate it 0 out of 10, and so on.[[/labelnote]]
** Claude, the Shounen Hero[[labelnote:Explanation]] This started after the E3 trailer showed Claude giving a heartfelt speech about hearts and friendship, but it really took off once everyone started playing the Golden Deer route and saw that the route ends [[spoiler: with you breaking into a secret base and busting up some giant robot mechas.]][[/labelnote]]
