The 'End Him Rightly' meme stems from a 2014 video by YouTuber Skallagrim, who highlighted a bizarre technique found in the 15th-century German fencing manual, Gladitoria. The manual seriously suggests that a knight should unscrew the pommel of their sword and throw it at their opponent to 'end him rightly.' The internet quickly fell in love with the sheer absurdity of throwing a piece of your weapon at an enemy as a finishing move. It is now used to represent over-the-top solutions to minor problems or as a general inside joke within the Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA) and gaming communities.
