With the return of the Thundercat strumming a cutout of the Hellshake Yano guitar.

The tweet reached the attention of Pop Team Epic manga creator Bkub Okawa, who commented: "Is this real?! Hellshake Yano is amazing!"

Thundercat's fondness for Pop Team Epic is no secret. His favorite singer in Japan is visited Thundercat in his studio while he was on a visit to Japan, and the two gushed about each other on social media.

On Tuesday, AC-bu also showed off a video of themselves playing a replica of Hellshake Yano's guitar. Music store Apollon Music created the model.

Hellshake Yano refers to an iconic skit from the seventh episode of the anime's first season, titled "Hellshake Yano." Popuko talks to Pipimi, but Pipimi zones out. Pipimi daydreams about a band member named Yano whose bandmates suddenly can't make it to an imminent concert because the trains stopped. Yano's manager wants to cancel the show, but Yano decides to go on stage and wow the crowd with his guitar skills alone. Unfortunately, Yano breaks a guitar string during his solo. Yano doesn't want to give up, so he uses the five remaining strings and then tunes his guitar to make it work. Yano's manager remarks that Yano's performance is "rocking the heart of hell." Yano acquires the name Hellshake Yano, and the crowd continues to go wild at his performance. Suddenly, Pipimi snaps out of it as Popuko asks her if she's listening. Pipimi apologizes and says, "I was thinking about Hellshake Yano." This caused the phrase "I was thinking about Hellshake Yano" to trend on Twitter.

There was a time when everyone was thinking about Hellshake Yano. It was one of the biggest reference to it on his Twitter .
