Sho Minamimoto is a Reaper antagonist in Square Enix's action role-playing game The World Ends With You, first released in Japan in 2007. Known for his obsession with mathematics and his theatrical, condescending manner, he often speaks in short, mocking bursts that underline his belief that he is smarter than everyone around him. Short voice clips from the game have circulated on soundboards and in fan edits, where this brief laugh is reused as a shorthand for smug villainy, even by viewers who have never played the original game.

Sho Minamimoto's brief, smug 'heh' laugh from The World Ends With You, used in video edits and memes to punctuate a villainous, cocky or overconfident moment.
This is a very short voice clip of Sho Minamimoto, the flamboyant villain from The World Ends With You, letting out a single, dismissive heh. It is not a full laugh, but a clipped, nasal chuckle delivered with obvious superiority, as if he has already worked out a plan everyone else has missed. The brevity makes it hit instantly, giving an edit a sharp burst of arrogance without needing any dialogue. Listeners recognise the smug tone immediately, which is why it works so well as a reaction to a clever twist, a cocky comeback or a character acting far too pleased with themselves.
