Tomura Shigaraki is the main villain of My Hero Academia, the manga series created by Kohei Horikoshi that began in 2014 and was adapted into a popular anime. His harsh, unstable voice became a recognisable part of the character, and short clips of him shouting or screaming began circulating on soundboards and in fan edits. This elongated scream version spread because it exaggerates his rage to a comic level, making it useful far beyond anime fandom for generic rage, frustration and villain meltdown jokes online.
