<figure><img src="/files/39OiWTmPQUKHQWqKL4VF" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**Series 21, Card 30** - [TADPOLEPEPE](https://pepe.wtf/asset/TADPOLEPEPE) was created by a Japanese artist known as [Mekabu](https://pepe.wtf/artists/Mekabu). He envisioned pepe as a tadpole because he felt it was a good analogy for the growing popularity of the Rare Pepe project. You'll notice at the bottom right of the card the word "memeclip" which is the name of the art group Mekabu and his wife attended. It means "to clip out the creativity of us (me and me) and keep it in the piece."

Below is an early sketch of TADPOLEPEPE given to me by Mekabu.

## Series 21, Card 41 - MUNETOPEPE

![](/files/yRaTrHymkIk7vAnoXsGt)

**Series 21, Card 41** - [MUNETOPEPE](https://pepe.wtf/asset/MUNETOPEPE) was created by an [unknown artist](https://pepe.wtf/artists/1HxpuXAdaWbGr81bRXE5GKKw3aPZxoxzBg). MUNETOPEPE is their only contribution to the Rare Pepe series. The card references [Tonomi Palisade](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonomi_Palisade) which is a Japanese castle located in the town of Kanegasaki. The illustration depicts [The Anecdote of the Brothers Sadato and Muneto](https://www.fukushima-museum.jp/abe-no-sadato-muneto/) which was painted by Konobu Kano in the early 1700's.  [ABE no Muneto](https://www.japanese-wiki-corpus.org/person/ABE%20no%20Muneto.html) was a Japanese military commander in the mid Heian period. I am unclear how the sour plum blossom relates to either the town or the person on the card.&#x20;

## Series 21, Card 42 - PEPEJIRO

<figure><img src="/files/bqjLcaFZjzkYCJNoyc2V" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**Series 21, Card 42** - [PEPEJIRO](https://pepe.wtf/asset/PEPEJIRO) was created by the Japanese artist known as [Oni Giri](https://pepe.wtf/artists/Oni-Giri). She created a total of 9 cards for the Rare Pepe project; 8 of which are original artworks! The pepe on the card is modeled after the character [Yuujirou Hanma](https://baki.fandom.com/wiki/Yuujirou_Hanma) from the Japanese manga series [Grappler Baki](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baki_the_Grappler). Oni said of PEPEJIRO, "I don't think Yuujiro is that popular, but I have the impression that people who like him like this card." When Yuujirou flexes his latissimus dorsi muscles, his back takes the shape of a demon's face, thus increasing his strength and combat abilities. In regard to that Oni said "It was fun to change the face of the original demon." On the card it reads "It looks like a frog's face!"

## Series 21, Card 47 - PBOCPEPE

The card is a manipulated version of a photograph of the [People's Bank of China](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People%27s_Bank_of_China). Added were pictures of [Jihan Wu](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jihan_Wu), one of the founders of [Bitmain](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitmain), the company behind the bitcoin mining hardware called Antminers (also pictured) and [Star Xu](https://www.coindesk.com/tag/star-xu/), the founder of cryptocurrency exchange [OKCoin](https://www.okcoin.com/).
