RIIZE doing the ending shows K-pop crossover appeal—the popular Korean group bringing "KILL SHOT" expands the anime's international reach. Hitman versus student duality is great visual concept; the ED capturing Juzo's split life between assassination and school creates compelling visual storytelling. Creditless versions reward dedicated fans; releasing clean versions of OP/ED gives viewers full appreciation of the animation. Series airing on Crunchyroll is convenient; worldwide simulcast availability ensures easy access for fans.

Turning into a middle schooler may have its problems, but in KILL BLUE, hitman Juzo Ogami is learning that school is actually pretty fun! The series is now airing on Crunchyroll, and the ending sequence shows the divide between his life as a hitman and his duties as a good student.

A creditless version is also now available on YouTube, set to "KILL SHOT" by RIIZE.

About the Series

Studio Echo describes the series:

Juzo Ogami 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. Can Juzo ever return to his original form? Or will the assassins closing in on him end his second life before it even begins!?
