This sound is best known online as a generic anime sparkle or shine effect rather than as one uniquely tied to a single character or series. Short glint sounds like this became common in anime-inspired edits, reaction memes and comedic reveal videos across social platforms. Creators keep using it because the meaning is instantly understood: something just became extra clean, attractive, clever or absurdly important. Its tiny length also makes it easy to drop onto exact visual cues without interrupting the rest of a scene.
