The line is from the battle theme "Last Surprise," whose chorus became especially recognizable outside the game through meme edits, livestream clips and anime-style montage videos. Online, people use the short clip to mark ambushes, reversals and moments where someone confidently walks into a trap. Its popularity lasts because the lyric explains the joke by itself, while the stylish Persona 5 soundtrack gives the reveal extra impact.
