SEKAI NO OWARI was formed in Tokyo, Japan in 2005 and has four members, Fukase, Saori, DJ Love and Nakajin. They have toured internationally twice, released seven albums, and had featured songs in One Piece, Mary and The Witch’s Flower, as well as the live-action film adaptation of Attack on Titan. In 2024, SEKAI NO OWARI will release “Deep Sea Fish,” the theme song for Takashi Miike’s (Onimusha) psychological horror film Lumberjack the Movie.
“The Peak” debuted in the Wano Arc of the One Piece anime. Crunchyroll holds the license and describes this section as follows:
The land of Wano is under the control of Kurozumi Orochi, Kaido of Yonko and his Beasts pirate crew. The Straw Hats form an alliance with the Heart Pirates, Weasel Tribe, and Kozuki Clan to liberate the Land of Wano, but when old enemies reappear, their mission becomes much more difficult.
Luffy, after facing defeat at the hands of Kaido, is locked up in Udon Prison, where a surprising member of the Worst Generation is also being held! Meanwhile, Robin had the opportunity to secretly spy on Shogun Orochi of Wano as the rest of the Straw Hats and their allies began carrying out the coup attempt they planned to carry out on the night of the Fire Festival.
Luffy’s journey takes him and his group to the ruins of Oden Castle, where Kin’emon tells them about his past and his plans to fight at Onigashima. The Straw Hats are looking for allies in the Country of Wano, but Kaido will not let them operate freely under his strict supervision.
