The line comes from The World Ends With You, the Square Enix action RPG first released for Nintendo DS in 2007 in Japan and 2008 internationally. Joshua, full name Yoshiya Kiryu, is a central, enigmatic partner character known for his calm and teasing manner. Short voice clips from the game circulate on soundboards among fans who use them out of context for farewells and story edits. This farewell snippet has stayed in use because it condenses Joshua's distant personality into a single, instantly recognisable goodbye.

Farewell Joshua is a short voice line from Joshua Kiryu in The World Ends With You, used for dramatic goodbyes, farewells and emotional exit scenes.
This short clip captures a calm, deliberate farewell spoken to Joshua, with a soft, almost detached delivery that makes the goodbye feel final rather than casual. The line is brief and clean, lasting under two seconds, so the voice sits clearly over silence without music or effects competing for attention. Listeners familiar with the character hear his composed, mysterious tone in the phrasing, which gives an ordinary parting an emotional weight. It works because the restraint does the work, turning a simple goodbye into a moment that lingers after the sound ends.
