The name comes from Undertale, the indie role-playing game released in 2015 that built a huge online fandom around its characters, battles and music. Short battle effects from games like this spread quickly through soundboards, Discord servers and video edits because they are instantly recognisable to fans and easy to drop into any clip. This saber swing stayed popular as a generic powerful-weapon cue, used by creators who want the energy of an Undertale fight without playing the full scene, especially in memes, fan edits and montage videos shared online.
