The track's first scene-wise usage is in Dragon Ball Z Kai Episode 99, but it was first heard on the further-condensed Japanese domestic broadcast in Dragon Ball Kai Episode 100, which premiered on 13 April 2014.

"Crisis" is used 26 times in Dragon Ball Z Kai (20 of which are mirrored in the Japanese domestic version of the arc) and 12 in Dragon Ball Super. The track's key is D minor and it is characterized by tension-building dissonance in the form of quartal harmony.
