One-Punch Man started as a webcomic by ONE before becoming a manga and then a TV anime adaptation in 2015. Audio labeled with the series name spread widely through anime meme pages, short-form edits and versus videos because the franchise is shorthand for absurd strength and instant victories. Even when the exact clip varies from upload to upload, creators keep using One Punch Man sounds to signal a stomp, a perfect hit or a joke where the outcome is never really in doubt.
