He’s Become Unstoppable

About

He's Become Unstoppable is a four-panel exploitable webcomic. In the comic, an apprentice approaches the "Blade Master," who has all-powerful since learning to "become completely mindless." The apprentice takes this message into battle, intimidating an enemy by telling them "Everything the government says is true!" In response, his opponent says, "He's become unstoppable." Online, people replace what the apprentice's line "Everything the government says is true" with their own opinions.

Origin

On October 2nd, 2019, the webcomic Swords^[1] published a comic entitled "Mindless" (shown below). In the comic, the "Dull Apprentice" asks "The Blade Master" for advice when fighting the "Sharp Apprentice." The comic reads:

Dull Apprentice: He broke my blade… with nothing but his thoughts!

Dull Apprentice: Blade Master! What can I do to defeat such a sharp mind?

Blade Master: To rival a mind as sharp as steel… One must become completely mindless!

In the final panel, the Dull Apprentice proves that they are "completely mindless" to the Sharp Apprentice by saying, "Everything the government says is true!" The Sharp Apprentice responds, "He's become unstoppable!"
