TFB_ADouble used similar cuts and character spotlights that one would come to expect from a traditional anime’s opening theme.
The Redditor even tailored the sequence’s beats to the tune of Japanese rock band Hello Sleepwalker’s Shin Sekai, which perfectly prepares the viewer for an epic thrill ride reminiscent of popular anime.

Though some fans would have loved to see the trailer with the opening song of popular animes such as Attack on Titan, most agreed that the song gave the sequence a great balance of fun, chaotic and hype elements.
TFB_ADouble tastefully weaved every Legend in the game by giving them a short intro and instantly cutting to them in action on King’s Canyon. The changing scenes masterfully hinted at every Legend’s motivations, personalities, past conflicts, or devious intentions.
