Guilty Gear Strive, the Arc System Works fighting game released in 2021, uses Danger Time as a high-stakes in-game state when a round hangs in the balance. Players and streamers began clipping the cue because it instantly communicates that the next hit matters, and those clips spread through fighting-game communities and short-form edits. It remains popular because it works even for viewers who do not play Guilty Gear, turning any close contest, comeback or sudden reversal into a dramatic moment with a single recognisable sound.
