Shenmue II is Sega's open-world adventure sequel, first released for Dreamcast in 2001 and later ported to Xbox, following Ryo Hazuki as he continues his search in Hong Kong and mainland China. Short vocal fragments from the game have circulated on soundboards because they are easy to recognise and easy to drop into edits, even out of context. This brief hesitation works in the same way, giving creators a compact reaction for awkward moments without needing a full line of dialogue or any knowledge of the story.
