Yu-Gi-Oh began as a manga by Kazutaka Takahashi in 1996 and became a long running anime and trading card game centred on monster duels. Sounds tied to summoning, attacking and losing monsters were clipped from episodes and shared on soundboards, where French and English titles like monstre détruit helped the clip travel beyond the fandom. It stayed popular because the destruction cue is instantly readable even without seeing a card, making it a reusable punchline for defeats in games, anime edits and meme videos.
