The story
On a thread on the “Nandemo Jikkyo” board (a Japanese live-commentary imageboard), posters spammed the โ๐ โ combo โ a sweating/nervous-face emoji ๐ sandwiched between two peace-sign emoji โ โ turning it into a minor trend. This kind of emoji fad flares up on live-commentary boards again and again, and this round was no different: a small dispute broke out between posters claiming to be the “original” user of the combo and others dismissing them as copycats. Meanwhile, the thread didn’t stay on the emoji topic at all โ it veered through regional banter about Sanuki udon, reactions to a popular game’s character rollout, and trivia about the retro game Dokuganryu Masamune, in the kind of scattershot chat log typical of these boards.
What people said
From now on it's the sweaty-face double peace sign! (likely wordplay/typo on "double peace sign," i.e. โโ) VIPQ2_EXTDAT: none:none:1000:512:: EXT was configured

I thought that after Furina they'd finally started putting out Seven Archons with no ties to Honkai, and then they go and drop a character like this โ they can't seem to commit either way ๐ (Seven Archons = the pantheon of major characters in Genshin Impact)
Tokyo Institute of Technโ I mean, Kobe Gakuin! (self-deprecating joke about downgrading from an elite university to a far less selective one)

This emoji combo is seriously popularโผ
Nishikawa Takanori, as always (recurring in-joke about the singer's name popping up in unrelated threads)
Knew it, this guy's posting here too, huh
Says the guy doing it himself
"Festival-ium" (a joke pun mashing "matsuri"/festival with the "-ium" chemical-element suffix)
Checking the house ๐ก with Aku-tan (likely a nickname for a VTuber)
This is seriously lame
Cut it out, quit ripping it off
Bet he posted it himself
Tornado goes weeeeeee๐ช๐ช๐ช๐ ๐ช๐ช๐ช (Tatsumaki, the tornado esper from One Punch Man)

The Namcot Date Masamune thing or whatever
A historical simulation game for the Famicom released on April 5, 1988 by Namco (now Bandai Namco Entertainment). The 38th entry in the "Namcot Famicom Game Series" โ Dokuganryu Masamune ("The One-Eyed Dragon, Masamune")!!
Background and Talking Points
“Double Peace” (ใใใใผ) is slang for the combo of a startled/sweating-face emoji ๐ sandwiched between two peace-sign emoji โ. This kind of emoji fad crops up periodically on the Nandemo Jikkyo board, and it’s practically tradition for an argument to break out over who used it first. In this thread, the friction isn’t really about board etiquette so much as a clash between posters claiming to be the “originator” and others writing them off as copycats โ and it’s worth noting these claims amount to nothing more than self-reported bragging on 5ch. As is typical for this board, the thread also drifts through unrelated tangents with no real throughline โ regional banter about Sanuki udon, trivia about the game Dokuganryu Masamune, and chatter about a popular game’s character rollout. Readers should keep in mind this isn’t a thread debating one topic, but a real-time chat log, and should read it with that in mind. Exchanges containing personal insults or discriminatory language have been excluded from this article.
