Fire Emblem Engage, released in 2023, quickly became a meme powerhouse due to its vibrant art style and the unique 'Engage' mechanic. Most memes center around the protagonist Alear's distinct red-and-blue hair, affectionately dubbed 'Toothpaste-chan' by the community before the game even launched. The game's premise of summoning spirits of past series protagonists provides a versatile template for 'merging' two unrelated concepts or showcasing a dramatic, often unnecessary, power-up. It is frequently used to highlight dramatic transformations, awkward dialogue, or the sheer absurdity of tactical RPG tropes, solidifying its status as a staple in gaming culture.
