For reference, here is the credit-less Chainsaw Man opening, featuring Kenshi Yonezu’s original version of “Kick Back.” It features Denji and other major members of the cast during notable moments in the show.

Following the anime’s launch, “Kick Back” proved quite popular. For example, it ended up taking the first place spot on the Oricon Weekly chart in November 2022. While it remained the recurring opening, this adaptation is known for offering a different ending theme and animation for each episode. A soundtrack appeared in Japan in January 2023.

Season one of Chainsaw Man is complete, and people can stream it on Crunchyroll. A second season of the show has yet to be announced. The manga is available physically from Viz Media, with weekly chapters appearing on Manga Plus and Viz.
