Yeah, unless you're familiar with the subject in hand, you wouldn't get it. Hell, it's not even from the game. It's just a sloppy meme image.

Can't we get a manga snippet or something from a comic?

Death is a companion. We should cherish Death as we cherish Life.

Found this in the comic book examples. I'm kind of torn since her actually using "kiai" makes what the trope is really obvious, but on the other hand, some might think that it is limited to that specific shout. But ultimately I think it's to the pic's advantage. We should crop off the rightmost bubbles if we'll be using it, though.

[up]Much better.

Is the current one enough of a meme for automatic and instant removal?

[up][up]Much better and very clear (complete in an action pose, so it actually works).

[up]Definitely.

The kid in this image is pretty good for this.

[up]It lacks the "visual" form of the kiai itself though, which is why I called up on a comic book or manga strip.

Crowner for image or wait for more examples?

This one's clear enough that I think we can call it. The winner's up, potholed, and tagged; caption at will. Locking up.
