The music behind this clip is 'A Cruel Angel's Thesis,' the famous opening theme of Neon Genesis Evangelion, the 1995 anime series by Gainax, performed by Yoko Takahashi. Decades later the song became one of the most recognisable anime themes on the internet, quoted in countless memes and covers. The spoken line, 'qué buen dato, amigo,' is a Spanish-language meme phrase used to praise a good piece of trivia. Paired together on user soundboards, the two elements form a ready-made reaction: the grand anthem makes any small fact feel like a legendary discovery.

A Spanish meme clip saying 'qué buen dato, amigo' over the Evangelion opening theme. Creators play it after a fun fact to add a dramatic, nerdy punchline.
The clip opens with a playful Spanish voice saying 'qué buen dato, amigo,' which means 'what a good fact, friend,' before the soaring strings and choir of the Neon Genesis Evangelion opening swell underneath. The eight-second mix keeps the voice clear up front while the heroic anime anthem builds behind it, ending on a triumphant, over-the-top note. For viewers it feels like a tongue-in-cheek award ceremony for trivia: the grand music treats a small fact like a universe-saving revelation, which makes the moment funny, nerdy and instantly recognisable to anime fans.
