Better late than never (WWI US entry joke)

This is a multi-panel meme using a classic scene from the Sailor Moon anime. The first panel shows Tuxedo Mask, whose face is covered by the flag of the United States, leaning in a doorway saying 'Alright Europe, I'm here now'. Opposite him, Sailor Moon has her face covered by the flags of France and the United Kingdom, replying 'We've been fighting since 1914...'. The second panel shows the US-representing Tuxedo Mask turning and walking away, saying 'Good work everyone'. The sarcastic joke critiques the United States' late entry into World War I (often extended to reference World War II as well), after European Allied nations had already been engaged in conflict for years, yet framing itself as the primary reason for victory.

This meme was originally shared on Reddit's meme communities under the title 'Better late than never'. It is an edited remix of a widely used Sailor Moon meme template that depicts Tuxedo Mask arriving late to a situation, delivering a single line, and immediately leaving.
