The Great Shift

Usually referring to the positive change in public opinion on watching or enjoying anime as a whole. It’s debated on when exactly The Great Shift occurred, but it can most closely be linked to the 2020 lockdown, and the release of mega popular shows around that time, such as Jujutsu Kaisen and Demon Slayer.
Person 1: “Hey man, do you watch anime?”
Person 2: “I watched anime before The Great Shift, I used to be a loser, but it’s cool now.”

Gear shift

Hym "You notice all of the new powers Deku received from One for All coincide move that I use? Muti-shadow tendril. Gear shift? And that's what this is. I had to shift gears. I was no longer uncertain as to whether or not the references were just a coincidence or a manifestation of my own mind. If I can control the references by posting things on urban dictionary then it isn't just paranoia and if it happens repeatedly it isn't a coincidence. It is what I thought it was. This was the best way I could come up with to deal with it. And the only reason it isn't working is that you are listening to someone when they tell you not to do it instead of listening to me."

Shift in meaning

A shift in meaning is when a word's meaning changes over time.
The word "cool" used to mean a low temperature, but now it can also mean something is stylish or awesome.

It is interesting to understand how confusion arises after a shift in meaning of a word from one mythology to another.
