Undertale, released in 2015 by Toby Fox, introduced the Gaster Blaster as the skull-shaped cannon used in Sans's fight, named for the vanished royal scientist W. D. Gaster. Its original firing sound became iconic among fans, appearing in remixes, animations and fan games. Playing effects backwards is a long-standing editing trick online, and this reversed version spread through soundboards and meme edits because it preserves the recognisable timbre while reversing the attack's energy, making it perfect for build-ups rather than impacts.
