The Arojump flag was posted alongside the term coining on May 20, 2020. It was made by the same person who coined the Arojump (Luigis-MOGAI-Mansion).
An alternate flag was made by Reddit user u/Orion1626 on October 23, 2020. The flag takes after the original Arospike flag, using the same colors from it but with an inverted triangle to represent a "jump" rather than a spike.
