The second main promotional video and second key visual for the TV anime "Killuao," based on the latest work by Tadatoshi Fujimaki, known for the popular manga "Kuroko's Basketball," have been released.

The second main promotional video begins with a bewildered expression on the face of Ookami Juzo, a legendary hitman feared by everyone in the underworld, who has been stung by a bee during a mission and transformed into a middle school student.

The story depicts a school life that begins with the mission to "infiltrate a middle school," and features characters such as Nekota Kotatsu, Juzo's partner who calmly retorts, "I don't understand what you're saying," Shiraishi Chisato, the head of the home economics club who invites Juzo to try out the club, Mitsuoka Noren, the daughter of a large corporation owner, Koha Same Shin, who belongs to the Chinese assassination organization Yuigan and is dispatched to the middle school where Juzo attends, Tendou Tenma, who is called a "super middle schooler" because of his physical abilities, Rindo Kazuma, a top-ranked assassin belonging to the industry's largest assassination organization JARDIN, and Rindo Eiji, who uses golf to carry out assassinations, using his overwhelming physical abilities as his weapon.

The second key visual depicts Juzo and others sitting with textbooks in their left hands and guns in their right.

The series is a "re-doing-youth" action comedy that was serialized in "Weekly Shonen Jump" (Shueisha) from April 2023 to September 2025. One day, 39-year-old Ookami Juzo, known as the "legendary hitman," is stung by a mysterious bee and transformed into a 13-year-old. He then attends middle school while taking on various incidents and battling other hitmen. It will air on TV Tokyo and its affiliates from 11 PM on April 11th.
