The line comes from Miles Edgeworth, the rival prosecutor in Capcom's Ace Attorney series of visual novel adventure games, which debuted in Japan in 2001. Japanese voice actors across the games and the anime adaptation have voiced his courtroom exclamations, including this sharp 'Take that!' equivalent. Clips of Edgeworth's shouts circulate widely among fans, who use them in edits, remixes and reaction videos celebrating decisive comebacks. Because the delivery is so theatrical, it has become shorthand online for a flawless counterpoint, surviving through more than two decades of the franchise.
