That would be Zero Wing of "All your base are belong to us" fame, and no, that was just a bad translation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_your_base_are_belong_to_us https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_your_base_are_belong_to_us
Random anecdote: in 2005, when "all your base" was still in peak meme, I happened to be in Kuta Square in Bali with a friend when Jemaah Islamiyah blew up one of their devices. Rattled but unharmed and unclear on what exactly had just happened, we returned to our hotel and watched TV news. Once the penny dropped, the following dialogue ensued:
- What happen?
- Someone set us up the bomb.

- howlgarnish 6y agoNo, it was us realizing that somebody actually set us up the bomb, instead of it being an LPG canister explosion in a restaurant etc.
