Sho Minamimoto is a math obsessed antagonist in The World Ends With You, first released for Nintendo DS in 2007. The character constantly peppers his speech with equations, pi references and geometry terms, so his shouted Soh Cah Toa became one of his most quoted lines. As clips and remixes circulated among RPG fans, the phrase detached from the game and became shorthand for the sohcahtoa meme, used whenever trigonometry, exams or overly dramatic problem solving appear online, long after the original scene.

Sho Minamimoto shouting Soh Cah Toa from The World Ends With You, a short math meme clip used for nerdy jokes, fails and sudden brainwave moments.
The clip is Sho Minamimoto enthusiastically shouting the trigonometry mnemonic Soh Cah Toa, split into three sharp, staccato beats. His voice is loud, theatrical and slightly unhinged, turning a classroom memory aid for sine, cosine and tangent into a battle cry. In The World Ends With You the line fits his obsession with math, numbers and patterns. Lifted out of context it lands as instant comedy, because something so academic is delivered with the energy of a final boss attack, making even a simple geometry problem feel dramatic and absurd.
