Resident Evil 4, first released in 2005, follows Leon Kennedy through a rural Spanish village whose infected inhabitants, known as Ganados, hunt him while shouting threats in Spanish. 'Te voy a matar' is one of their most recognisable battle cries, repeated whenever they spot and charge at the player. Clips of the line circulated on soundboards and in gameplay videos long after release, and the game's 2023 remake introduced the shouting villagers to a new audience. It remains popular because the short, aggressive delivery works instantly, even for listeners who do not speak Spanish.
