The line comes from the European Portuguese dub of Dragon Ball Z, which aired on SIC in Portugal in the mid-1990s and became notorious among fans for its unusually loose, profanity-laced script, with Krillin's swearing among the most quoted moments. YouTube channels such as Kesyn and Skelter recorded and compiled the funniest of these clips, and Portuguese meme pages spread them as 'tuga' humor, where the shock of a cartoon hero cursing does the comic work. It now sits alongside punchy reaction staples like an anime punch or a well-timed damn in edits and chats across the Portuguese-speaking internet.
