Produced by Brazilian artist CyberBritoo, the video resonates with anime fans. For those who consume otaku , it's easy to see similarities between the content and famous works like Naruto , Jujutsu Kaisen , and Demon Slayer .
The style of 'Beyond the Spirit Blossom' also reminds anime fans of the visual aesthetic of productions in this niche: pastel tones mixed with vibrant bursts 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 League of Legends skins and cinematics.
What to expect from this season of League of Legends
Furthermore, the individual journeys of the characters portrayed in this season reinforce themes frequently seen in anime : the burden of the lone hero, the search for redemption, and the role of spiritual guides.
This connection is also reflected in the community's perception. Furthermore, players have commented on Reddit about possible similarities between the new skins and characters from popular anime, such as Spirit Blossom Irelia being compared to Kaguya from Naruto, and Spirit Blossom Xin Zhao being related to Sesshomaru and Naraku from Inuyasha.
The second season of League of Legends takes place in Ionia, a region with a strong spiritual tradition within the Runeterra universe. Players can experience how the veil between the world of the living and the Spirit Realm becomes thin during an ancient festival. It is in this setting that the champion Xin Zhao returns to his homeland seeking reconnection with his origins. Meanwhile, a parallel plot involves the champion LeBlanc and an ancient Darkin weapon, sparking suspicions about possible spiritual corruption.
The League of Legends can get ready to enjoy the 'Beyond Spirit Blossom' theme beyond the game. Riot Games will be present at Sana, the largest geek event in Northeast Brazil, taking place from July 18th to 20th in Fortaleza. With a League of Legends booth at the event, Riot will bring immersive activations inspired by 'Beyond Spirit Blossom', giveaways, a gameplay area to enjoy the latest League of Legends content, and cosplayers – including an exclusive League of Legends parade!
