When calling themselves 'Itch Rats' (痒痒鼠, Onmyoji players' self-deprecating nickname) no longer cuts it to express their fury, they chose to literally 'prestige class' — transforming from casual gamers into actual yin-yang masters (Taoist occultists), unleashing unhinged copypastas, abstract memes, and a wordplay competition that's essentially a cyber exorcism aimed straight at the game's planners.
It all started when the Onmyoji Weibo super topic collectively went ballistic. Players channeled their rage into something equal parts unhinged and surgically precise — roasting the game's planners so creatively that it turned into a public spectacle the entire Chinese internet stopped to watch.





According to players in the comments, Zen Studio (the Onmyoji dev team) allegedly started self-destructing since Tuesday evening, with one scandal after another nonstop. Even after the devs went completely radio silent for two full days, players kept 'digging up new dirt in batches' — essentially running a 24/7 tea-spilling assembly line.
NGA commenters distilled the Zen Studio saga into a savage four-count indictment: 'The planners have no humanity, the writers aren't human, the private contacts have no family (底线, moral bottom line), and Zen studio — good riddance.' Concise, brutal, and devastatingly accurate.
One NGA user from the gossip section lamented: 'What's going on with Onmyoji lately? Every other post on the gossip board is about them.' That alone tells you this isn't your average dev fumble — it's a full-blown catastrophe.
The top-voted comment reads: 'This is hilarious, it's got the same energy as Xiao Zhan sneaking into Phase 2 of the Enraged Bull raid.' This meme originates from the 2020 Xiao Zhan scandal when netizens created absurd fictional stories about the celebrity — using it here implies the Onmyoji players' meltdown has reached the same legendary levels of internet absurdity.

Other commenters shared even more screenshots from the super topic, saying they 'literally died laughing.'

One commenter even gave a lore explainer on the 'Xiao Zhan stealing the bull' meme: that image is actually from June 2020, a fan-made abstract shitpost created during the peak of the Xiao Zhan controversy — it has nothing to do with the game itself. Onmyoji players just masterfully repurposed it.

Bystanders were blown away by the comment section's collective mental state: 'The vibes in here are immaculate,' 'So many literary geniuses,' and someone even dropped 'Your father or mother chose the or — this is peak content, I MUST learn from this,' pushing the unhinged copypasta game to new heights. Others referenced 'crashing into Mount Buzhou' (共工怒触不周山, a mythological act of cosmic destruction) to describe the scale of this meltdown.
As of now, Zen Studio's PR strategy is to play dead — but clearly that approach is completely useless against the Itch Rats' boundless meme-generating power. The players have successfully prestige-classed, and the fury of the cyber yin-yang masters continues to spread. After all, when the players literally become 'Onmyoji masters,' it's the planners who'll need an exorcism.
