The second season was announced at the close of the Season 1 finale, which aired on 27 June 2026 \u2014 meaning the wait for more Juzo Ogami starts right now.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kill-blue-juzo-portrait.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Kill Blue \u2014 Juzo Ogami, 39-year-old assassin in a 13-year-old's body\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of CUE \/ Kill Blue Production Committee<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>The Kuroko Creator Returns to Jump<\/h2>\n<p><em>Kill Blue<\/em> is written and illustrated by <strong>Tadatoshi Fujimaki<\/strong>, the mangaka behind <em>Kuroko&#8217;s Basketball<\/em> \u2014 a series that still sells out in Singapore&#8217;s Japanese bookstores and ran a hugely popular anime adaptation from 2012 to 2015. After <em>Kuroko<\/em> wrapped, Fujimaki took his time on a new series, and when <em>Kill Blue<\/em> debuted in <em>Weekly Shonen Jump<\/em> in April 2023, it immediately stood out: darker premise, sharper comedy, and the same gift for ensemble character dynamics that made the basketball team so beloved.<\/p>\n<p>The manga concluded in <em>Jump<\/em> in September 2025 across 13 collected volumes, and the anime adaptation kicked off in April 2026. It proved popular enough that a second season was greenlit before the final episode even finished airing.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"gt-video\">\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/a55kLGd0HXM\" title=\"Anime KILL BLUE \u2013 Main Trailer No.2 set to premiere in April 2026!\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0;\" allow=\"accelerometer;clipboard-write;encrypted-media;gyroscope;picture-in-picture;web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><figcaption>Anime KILL BLUE \u2013 Main Trailer No.2 \u2014 via DMM pictures on YouTube<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>A Hitman in the Wrong Body<\/h2>\n<p>The premise is gloriously absurd. <strong>Juzo Ogami<\/strong> is 39 years old, a legend in the Z.O.O. assassin syndicate, and very good at his job. On a routine hit at a genetics company, he is stung by an experimental wasp that rewrites his DNA \u2014 and wakes up in the body of a 13-year-old. His mind, memories, and considerable killing instincts are all intact. His frame is not.<\/p>\n<p>His handlers assign him a new mission: go undercover at a middle school, scope out whether it is safe for the syndicate boss&#8217;s daughter to enrol. Juzo intends to treat it as a quick op. What he does not count on is discovering that he genuinely likes studying \u2014 or that the school&#8217;s cast of students, teachers, and lurking threats will drag him into something far messier than a reconnaissance job.<\/p>\n<p>The comedy of a cold-blooded professional navigating homeroom and PE class is played straight enough to stay funny, while the action sequences (Juzo does not stop being lethal just because he is now small) give the show real bite. The ensemble \u2014 particularly Noren Mitsuoka, whose family&#8217;s company created the wasp that de-aged him \u2014 gives Season 1 its emotional core.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kill-blue-juzo-noren.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Kill Blue \u2014 Juzo and Noren Mitsuoka\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of CUE \/ Kill Blue Production Committee<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>What We Know About Season 2<\/h2>\n<p>The announcement was made in the end-card of Season 1&#8217;s final episode. No premiere date or episode count has been announced for Season 2, and no new visual or teaser was released alongside it \u2014 just the confirmation that the story continues.<\/p>\n<p>Season 1 covered 12 episodes directed by <strong>Yasunori Ide<\/strong> at <strong>Studio CUE<\/strong>, with series composition by Hiro Kaburagi. The production team is expected to return, though this has not been formally confirmed. Given the manga is already complete at 13 volumes, Season 2 will have a full roadmap to work from.<\/p>\n<p>One thing worth noting for fans of the music: the opening theme <strong>&#8220;ATTITUDE&#8221;<\/strong> is performed by <strong>aespa<\/strong>, and the ending theme <strong>&#8220;KILL SHOT&#8221;<\/strong> is by <strong>RIIZE<\/strong>. Whether the K-pop pairings carry over into Season 2 is one of the more interesting open questions.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kill-blue-school-scene.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Kill Blue \u2014 Juzo Ogami in class, textbook in one hand and gun in the other\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of CUE \/ Kill Blue Production Committee<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Where to Watch Kill Blue in Singapore<\/h2>\n<p>Season 1 is fully available now on both <strong>Crunchyroll<\/strong> and <strong>Netflix<\/strong> in Singapore, with English subtitles and a full English dub produced by Bang Zoom!
