Genji Shimada is a playable cyborg ninja hero in the team shooter Overwatch, released in 2016. Like other heroes, he has a set of short communication-wheel voice lines, including a simple 'Thank you' used to acknowledge healing or assistance in matches. Clips of these lines were ripped and shared on soundboards and in gaming montages, where the polite delivery became useful for thank-you memes and stream reactions. It endures because it is instantly recognizable to Overwatch players and works as a clean, characterful way to show gratitude.
