Sasuke Uchiha is one of the central characters in Naruto, the manga by Masashi Kishimoto that began in 1999 and became a long-running anime series. His story is defined by loss, rivalry with Naruto Uzumaki and a long quest for revenge, which is why the Portuguese word vingador, meaning avenger, fits him so closely. Short clips of the character circulate widely in fan edits, reaction videos and Brazilian meme culture, where a single intense line can stand in for an entire rivalry. That shorthand keeps the sound useful long after the original scenes aired.
