Castlevania

Castlevania is a game franchise that has given mankind a great deal of fun for decades.

What is a man?

The What is a man? meme is commonly posted on 4chan's /b/ whenever a picture of Dracula appears, especially his Symphony of the Night character design. The predictable variants (substituting nearly any word for "man", and sometimes also for "secrets") often appear as well. /b/ used to be able to recite the whole dialogue once the first line was posted. Here's the whole thing:

Richter - Die, monster. You don't belong in this world!

Dracula - It was not by my hand that I am once again given flesh. I was called here by humans who wished to pay me tribute.

Richter - Tribute? You steal men's souls, and make them your slaves!

Dracula - Perhaps the same could be said of all religions.

Richter - Your words are as empty as your soul. Mankind ill needs a savior such as you!

Dracula - What is a man? A miserable little pile of secrets! But enough talk; have at you!
