Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Annihilation / Destruction

The verse speaks of a loss of remembrance and reputation, which, while a form of destruction, does not explicitly state the physical cessation of existence.

Destruction / Perishing Language

This verse directly states that remembrance will "perish" and a name will "have no name," which aligns perfectly with the theme of destruction and perishing. There is no plausible interpretation that would suggest it does not support the theme.
