Nappa is a Saiyan warrior from Dragon Ball Z, the long-running anime based on Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball manga. He arrives on Earth alongside Vegeta during the Saiyan Saga as a brutal, overconfident enforcer, and his loud, taunting style made him an instantly recognisable villain despite his relatively short run in the series. As Dragon Ball clips spread across YouTube, TikTok and soundboard sites, short Nappa voice lines became shorthand for arrogance and impending defeat, keeping the character alive in memes long after his original episodes aired.
