It has been announced that the TV anime "KillAo," based on the latest work by Tadatoshi Fujimaki, known for the popular manga "Kuroko's Basketball," will be broadcast on TV Tokyo from 11:00 PM on April 11th. The theme song artists have also been announced, with the Korean four-member girl group aespa performing the opening theme "ATTITUDE" and the Korean boy group RIIZE performing the ending theme "KILL SHOT." The promotional videos for each song have been released on YouTube.
Regarding the opening theme "ATTITUDE," aespa commented, "We think it's a song that matches the fast-paced worldview of 'Killua' very well. To everyone who's looking forward to 'Killua', please enjoy the worldview of the work along with the opening theme "ATTITUDE"!"
RIIZE commented, "KILL SHOT is a song that expresses the worldview of Killao, where the 'front and the back', the 'everyday and the extraordinary' intersect. The song has a rock feel and an aggressive drum sound that combines breakbeats, making for an impressive sound, and the emotional melody in the chorus further deepens the aftertaste of the story. We hope you enjoy this song along with the story of the anime."
The series is a "youth redo" action comedy that was serialized in "Weekly Shonen Jump" (Shueisha) from April 2023 to September 2025. One day, 39-year-old Juzo Ookami, known as the "legendary assassin," is stung by a mysterious bee and turns into a 13-year-old. While attending junior high school, he faces various cases and battles against assassins.
