Shenmue is a Sega action adventure series created by Yu Suzuki, first released for the Dreamcast in 1999, following Ryo Hazuki on a quest for revenge in 1980s Japan and China. The games became cult favorites for their detailed open world, daily routines and distinctive dubbed dialogue. Short voice lines from the series circulate widely on soundboards because that earnest delivery sounds unintentionally iconic out of context. This phrase has been clipped and shared by gaming fans as a standalone reaction, long after the original scene, for moments demanding total commitment.
