Japan's archery medalist is surprisingly well versed in anime. When asked if he uses Shirou's signature phrase, he instead shared his preference of using Arash's.

Is there something about archery that attracts anime fans? After scoring a bronze model as part of Japan's men's archery team on Monday, 36-year-old Takaharu Furukawa told the press: "My heart feels like it's bouncing (pyonpyon)." The phrase is a reference to lines from the Is the order a rabbit? anime's opening theme song "Daydream café."

Meanwhile Deng Yu-Cheng of the Chinese Taipei team, who earned a silver medal that same day, became an internet sensation when a fan who follows the athlete on Instagram revealed a conversation with Deng translated as follow:

Fan: "When you shoot off an arrow, do you say 'I am the bone of my sword'?"
Deng: "No, actually, I generally say "Stella!!!!!"

The phrases are references to the iconic lines of Archer in Fate/stay night and Arash (of the Archer class) in Fate/Grand Order respectively.
