Since the late 1990s, fighting games have used high‑octane opening sequences to hype players—think Street Fighter’s iconic “Fight!” intro or Tekken’s cinematic openings. Simultaneously, early‑2000s anime series such as Gundam Seed and Fullmetal Alchemist set a benchmark for energetic opening songs and dynamic visuals, a tradition now echoed in Marvel Tokon.
