Hitsounds are a built in customisation option in Team Fortress 2, playing a short sound whenever a player damages an opponent. The community has shared thousands of replacements for years, from simple dings to clips taken from games, cartoons and anime. This version follows that tradition with a brief anime style tone uploaded by its creator for personal use. It spread as other players searched for a cuter alternative to the stock effect, and it is now also reused outside matches as a generic hit confirmation in edits.
