About

Taisho Secret is an exploitable image macro that comes from the anime series Kimetsu No Yaiba, also known as Demon Slayer. The meme involves a character from the show saying it's time for a Taisho (the historic era that the show takes place in) secret before leaning in close to say what the secret is. The template is typically used as a basic image macro, similar to Skeletor Facts, for sharing various secrets or information that are often humorous in nature.
