Who made the music video?
The animated music video was made with Fortiche, the Paris studio known for Arcane. That explains the painterly lighting and the fire-and-violet palette that fans are recreating in edits. Choreography for the release is credited to Sean Bankhead.
How big is the comeback?
Dexerto reports that the video reached millions of views soon after release, with fans calling it worth the six-year wait. On TikTok, the #firestarterkda tag is full of Kai'Sa dance covers, cosplay and AI versions.
Why the Kai'Sa section took over TikTok
Kai'Sa has always been K/DA's dancer, so it fits that her section became the dance trend. It is short, it lands on the hook and it reads instantly from one frame. We break this down in the Kai'Sa 8 seconds explained.
