DanMachi, short for Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?, is a Japanese light novel series adapted into an anime beginning in 2015, following young adventurer Bell Cranel as he explores a dangerous dungeon beneath Orario. Bell is known for earnest, often overwhelmed reactions when quests go wrong, and this scream has been lifted from that context into online meme culture. On soundboards and in short-form edits, it is reused as a universal panic reaction, remaining popular because the emotion is instantly clear even without knowing the show.
