Takeda Takahashi is a playable fighter in Mortal Kombat X, the 2015 entry in NetherRealm Studios' long-running fighting series, where he fights with whips and blades alongside his father Kenshi. His in-game vocal reactions, including sharp screams when he is struck, have been clipped by players and reused far beyond matches themselves. The short length makes it easy to drop into edits, and because the yell is instantly recognisable as a gaming reaction, it still works as a quick shorthand for sudden pain or defeat.
