Sono Chi no Sadame was released in 2012 as the opening theme for the first season of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, covering the Phantom Blood arc. Performed by Hiroaki Tominaga, the song was written to reflect Jonathan Joestar's inherited destiny and heroic resolve. Its bold style matched the series revival and quickly became inseparable from the franchise identity. As JoJo grew in global popularity through streaming and memes, the opening vocal and final shout were clipped widely for edits, reactions and tributes, keeping the track recognizable far beyond its original broadcast.
