Sono Chi no Sadame, meaning the destiny of that blood, debuted as the opening theme for the 2012 anime adaptation of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, covering the Phantom Blood arc. Performed by Hiroaki Tominaga, the song was written to echo classic heroic anime themes while matching the story of Jonathan Joestar and Dio Brando. Clips of its rising chorus later spread through anime edits, soundboards and meme videos, where the instantly recognisable swell signals fate, rivalry and a dramatic showdown is about to begin.
