"Totsugeki" is closely tied to May from the Guilty Gear series, where the move became one of her most recognizable attacks among fighting game players. The clip spread far beyond the games through meme edits, highlight reels and reaction videos, especially when creators needed a sound for sudden forward momentum. Its staying power comes from how quickly it communicates both character and impact, making it a favorite in anime and fighting game circles years after players first started quoting it.
