It is musically a ''denpa'' song, having lyrics that attack fictional pedophiles which borrow tropes from the ''lolicon'' genre.

Though it was released in 2022, the song suddenly [[Finance:Viral video|went viral]] in September 2023 after the release of its music video. Users on [[Software:TikTok|TikTok]] and other social media platforms posted their own dance videos and remixes. The song peaked at number&nbsp;28 on the ''Billboard Japan'' Hot&nbsp;100 and otherwise charted in Japan on ''Billboard Japan'', Oricon, and ''Count Down TV''. Authors note its catchy tune combined with the video as significant contributors to its popularity. Because of the severity of its lyrics, it also amassed controversy online.<ref name="controversy" /><ref name="controversy1" /><!-- Contentious per WP:LEADCITE -->

The upbeat first half is described with pop music aspects that includes Ui's girlish singing and interjecting shouts, which then leads into a dubstep-like track to reveal Ui's hostile side towards pedophiles. Right in the middle part of the song, in an act of divine purging, the music cuts to her firing her Ui Beam to electrocute sludge creatures while the narrator explains the situation and the attack. Ultimately, the music descends into a dark second half that alternates between her hostile and girlish side.<ref>Kitagawa 2023, [https://web.archive.org/web/20231005132518/https://kai-you.net/article/87833/page/2 p. 2].</ref><!-- The song utilizes the descending cadence of "Dies Irae" from Giuseppe Verdi's ''Requiem''.-->

==Reception==
<!-- Rise and numbers-->Upon its release, the song did not receive immediate notability and was supposedly overshadowed by the album's opening track, "Shinkakei Sketch". "Shukusei!! Loli Kami Requiem" came to be known by Shigure's fans as one of the "cute" songs on the album.<ref>Kitagawa 2023, [https://web.archive.org/web/20231005160242/https://kai-you.net/article/87833 p. 1], "{{lang|ja|事実、アルバム『まだ雨はやまない』のリード曲が別の楽曲であったことからも、この楽曲はあくまで「アルバム中のキュート曲のひとつ」として、ファンの間で広がるのみに留まっていた印象だ。}}"</ref> However, after the release of its music video a year later, the song [[Finance:Viral video|went viral]] worldwide on social media and became an [[Social:Internet meme|Internet meme]].
