Hakai is a Japanese term meaning destruction and is closely associated with the Gods of Destruction in Dragon Ball Super. Beerus is the character most widely connected with the command, using destructive energy capable of erasing a target rather than simply defeating it. Short versions of the spoken line spread through anime edits, gaming videos, reaction posts, and deletion memes. It remains recognizable because one forceful word communicates both the Dragon Ball reference and the idea of instantly removing someone or something from a scene.
