I will continue to sing the theme song from the Netflix version. I focused on "the reason why they fight" in the previous version, but this time, I started to create the song with the image of "the destination of their fight" in mind. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

YORKE.
It is a great honor for me to be in charge of the opening theme song again on the back of a hero. I hope you enjoy the song as well as the sound, as I have scattered my thoughts and feelings in the lyrics. I love the sound of the theme song, the sense of responsibility and pressure. Thank you.
