The meme culture surrounding the game often highlights the sharp contrast between Nobeta's innocent appearance and the brutal challenges she faces within the ancient castle. Fans frequently use her character for reaction images involving perseverance, unexpected strength, or the 'prepare to die' gaming trope. As the game grew in popularity, the memes evolved to include various boss encounters and the iconic magic-based combat style that defines her character, often labeling her as 'Baby's First Dark Souls' or 'Cute Souls'.
