Style Meets the Classroom in KILL BLUE's Creditless Opening Animation

Set to aespa's “ATTITUDE,” the Creditless Opening Animation is Now Available Online!

LOS ANGELES, Calif., Apr. 18, 2026 — Coming off KILL BLUE's premiere across an unprecedented seven North American streaming platforms, DMM has released the creditless version of the anime's opening animation. Set to aespa's track “ATTITUDE,” the sequence highlights the central contrast defining protagonist Juzo Ōgami: a legendary hitman suddenly forced to navigate the unpredictable world of middle school.

The visually striking opening moves between rain-soaked city streets, sharp action cuts, and bursts of colorful school life, capturing the tension between Juzo's former life as a hardened assassin and the chaotic energy of his unexpected return to youth. Playful imagery such as candy, classroom scenes, and dance-driven moments appear alongside the firearms and action that shape the series' tone, creating a distinctive visual style that blends danger with humor and youthful exuberance. Directed by Ryū Nakayama, known for his storyboard and directorial work on the first season of Chainsaw Man and Jujutsu Kaisen, the animation brings a cinematic sensibility to the series and is already drawing attention as a standout opening of the season.

The opening prominently features key characters including Juzo Ōgami (voiced by Yūko Sanpei), Noren Mitsuoka (voiced by Fūka Izumi), and Shin Kohazame (voiced by Daisuke Sakuma), highlighting the humor, charm, and style that define the series, which is based on Tadatoshi Fujimaki's Weekly Shonen Jump manga. Available on Netflix, Crunchyroll, Amazon Prime Video, Rakuten Viki, Plex, the It's Anime FAST Channel (Samsung TV Plus, Vizio WatchFree+), and It's Anime YouTube in North America, KILL BLUE is not only one of the most widely available anime of the season but also one of the most warmly received. Critics and audiences alike have responded to the show's unique blend of shonen action and coming-of-age storytelling, with new episodes releasing every Saturday.

SERIES SYNOPSIS

A legendary assassin at 39. Starting over… as a middle schooler.

Juzo Ōgami is a legendary hitman who has never failed an assignment, no matter how impossible. One day, after wiping out a powerful organization, he is stung by a mysterious wasp and collapses. When he wakes up, the fearsome 39-year-old assassin has been transformed into a 13-year-old boy! Before he can even process what happened, his boss delivers a new order: “In that body, infiltrate a middle school.” What awaits him is an unexpected school life filled with colorful classmates, youthful chaos, and looming danger.
