The SoulCalibur series, known for its 'tale of souls and swords eternally retold,' has become a staple in meme culture primarily through its dramatic narration and robust character creation modes. From the narrator’s iconic 'The soul still burns' to the absurd creations players make in SoulCalibur VI—like Magikarp, Shrek, or various household appliances—the meme format captures the intensity and hilarity of the franchise. It is frequently used to signify a dramatic comeback, a fierce rivalry, or to showcase the bizarre results of deep customization tools that allow players to transcend the boundaries of the original game's lore.
