The sound comes from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind, the fifth part of the anime adapted from Hirohiko Araki's manga. It is tied to King Crimson, the Stand of the boss Diavolo, whose ability is described in Japanese as King Crimson no Noryoku, meaning King Crimson's ability to erase time and leap past it. Clips of the effect spread through anime edits, versus battles, and meme compilations on YouTube and TikTok, where fans instantly recognize the cue as a time skip even without seeing Diavolo on screen.
