Produced by Brazilian artist CyberBritoo, the video resonates with anime fans. For those who enjoy otaku , it's easy to spot similarities between the content and famous works like Naruto , Jujutsu Kaisen , and Demon Slayer .
The style of 'Beyond Spiritual Blossom' also ends up reminding anime fans of the visual aesthetic of productions in this niche: pastel tones mixed with vibrant explosions of color, clothing reminiscent of traditional kimonos, and floral elements such as cherry blossoms and lotuses are part of the design of this season's LOL skins and cinematics.
What to expect from this season of League of Legends
Furthermore, the individual journeys of the characters portrayed this season reinforce themes often seen in anime : the burden of the lone hero, the search for redemption, and the role of spirit guides.
This connection is also reflected in the community's perception. Additionally, players have commented on Reddit about possible similarities between the new skins and characters from popular anime, such as Spirit Blossom Irelia compared to Naruto's Kaguya, and Spirit Blossom Xin Zhao related to Inuyasha's Sesshomaru and Naraku.
League of Legends Season 2 takes place in Ionia, a region with a strong spiritual tradition within the Runeterra universe. Players can experience the veil between the world of the living and the Spirit Realm becoming tenuous during an ancient festival. It's in this setting that champion Xin Zhao returns to his homeland seeking to reconnect with his origins. Meanwhile, a parallel plot involving champion LeBlanc and an ancient Darkin weapon sparks suspicions about possible spiritual corruption.
League of Legends community can get ready to enjoy the 'Beyond the Spirit Blossom' theme beyond the game. However, Riot will be present at Sana, the largest geek event in the Northeast, taking place from July 18th to 20th in Fortaleza. With a booth at the League of Legends event, Riot will bring immersive activations inspired by 'Beyond the Spirit Blossom,' giveaways, a gameplay area to enjoy the latest LOL content, and cosplayers—including an exclusive League fashion show!
