Yasuo is a wind-based swordsman champion in Riot Games' League of Legends, and Last Breath is his ultimate ability, used to dash to airborne enemies and strike them repeatedly before landing a final blow. The accompanying sound has become shorthand for a stylish, decisive play among players, appearing in ranked highlights, combo montages and short-form edits. Because it is short, sharp and immediately recognisable to the game's large community, creators keep reusing it to signal that a fight has just been won in style.
