Kitana is a long running Mortal Kombat character, the princess of Edenia known for her steel fans, who appears as an opponent and boss figure in Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks, the 2005 action adventure spin off for PlayStation 2 and Xbox. The game reused dramatic character death and injury cries during its violent encounters, and this amputated scream circulated later on soundboards as a standalone clip. Editors keep using it because the performance is extreme, instantly recognisable to fighting game fans, and easy to drop into edits.
