Goku, the hero of Dragon Ball, has become a staple of short-form anime edits, where creators pair his most powerful moments with bass-heavy phonk and trap-style audio to create so-called drip edits. The format spread across TikTok and YouTube Shorts as editors used the same style for other iconic characters, including Giorno's Theme and the Mangekyo Sharingan, turning entrances and power-ups into stylised showcases of aura and confidence. Because the sound is short and instantly recognisable, it still works as a quick punchline for glow-ups, versus edits and gaming clips.
