Izuku Midoriya, nicknamed Deku, is the main character of My Hero Academia, the manga series created by Kohei Horikoshi in 2014 and adapted as an anime from 2016. Short isolated voice lines from the series are frequently clipped by fans and shared as reaction sounds online. This teriyaki line spread in that format, detached from any scene, alongside other one word anime catchphrases like Tuturu. Its appeal comes from recognition rather than context, so it keeps being reused in edits, compilations and soundboards long after posting.
About this sound
Deku saying teriyaki from My Hero Academia, a short anime voice clip fans use for funny food edits, reaction videos, memes and soundboard posts.
This is a short voice clip of Deku, the nickname of Izuku Midoriya from My Hero Academia, saying the word teriyaki in a bright, earnest delivery. The line is isolated from its context, so the single food word lands like a random non sequitur with clear anime timing and inflection. At just over five seconds, it has enough lead in and pause to feel like a punchline when it drops. Viewers recognise the character voice instantly, and the contrast between a serious hero tone and an ordinary menu item is what makes it funny.
