Bloody Stream was released in 2013 as the opening theme for Battle Tendency, the second part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, performed by Coda with music by Toshiyuki Omori. Its funk and jazz rock sound set it apart from the first opening and helped define Joseph Joestar's era. The song spread widely through anime edits, remixes and soundboards alongside other JoJo staples like Giorno's Theme, Za Warudo and the To Be Continued meme, remaining a shorthand for flamboyant confidence online.
