Short impact effects like this come from the long tradition of exaggerated sound design in Japanese animation, where punches are layered from whooshes, cloth snaps and low thuds to feel larger than life. As anime clips spread on video platforms and soundboards, the punch became a reusable shorthand that editors could drop over any hit, regardless of the original series. It remains popular because it is instantly readable, works without dialogue or context, and fits both serious fight edits and parody videos where a light touch is treated like a finishing blow.
