Da-iCE’s latest anthem “Monster” has set the tone for Monster Strike: Deadverse Reloaded, the first TV anime adaptation of the global hit mobile game. As fans watched the series debut this week, MIXI surprised everyone by dropping the non-credit opening — a thrilling fusion of powerful vocals, sharp choreography, and the anime’s apocalyptic tone. But why was Da-iCE chosen for this project? This article dives into the connection between their music and the world of Monster Strike, revealing how sound and story come together in perfect sync.
Da-iCE’s “Monster” Sets the Pulse for Deadverse Reloaded
Da-iCE didn’t just lend a theme; they injected a tempo that matches the series’ knife-edge stakes. The group’s four-octave twin-vocal core punches through the mix with clean harmonies, while the beat staging mirrors the show’s “worlds on the brink” premise. From the very first bar, “Monster” signals that Monster Strike: Deadverse Reloaded is playing for keeps.
Collaboration Background That Aligns Threat, Resolve, and Bonds
Why Da-iCE? Because their sound zeros in on tension and release—the same emotional grammar that drives Rin’ne’s journey. Across their discography, the group balances precision and catharsis; here that balance tracks with a story about faceless threats, fragile ties, and hard-won trust. It’s less a celebrity tie-in and more a thematic handshake.
Non-Credit OP Highlights: Visual Motifs, Rhythm, and Payoff
The non-credit OP wastes no frames: fractured vistas, silhouettes in motion, and cut-ins that “snap” on snare hits. When the pre-chorus breathes, the visuals pull back; when the chorus lands, perspectives collide, echoing the show’s multiverse peril. Keep an eye on Rin’ne’s gaze shifts—they “lock” with the kick pattern before the drop.
