Kill Blue Uses Science to Shrink an Assassin

Juzo Ogami has spent a lifetime eliminating his targets for the right price. No one escapes his sight, and he always finishes on time. However, a genetics experiment will put his legend to the test by shrinking him down to size. He’s taller than the other shrinking victim, and he hangs out with far fewer cute girls. We’ll see if he can navigate a middle school as well as a battlefield when Kill Blue (Kill Ao) premieres sometime in April 2026.

Kill Blue, Get Good Grades

Juzo Ogami is a peerless assassin. His targets never escape his sight, and he leaves behind only a growing legend. Juzu was pushed into this life of darkness and bloodshed at a young age. As such, he’s never known true peace or a happy childhood. He’ll readily admit that his boring life revolves around his work in the Z.O.O. Assassin Syndicate. Juzo’s most recent job from Z.O.O. sees him eliminate those he thought were simple, irredeemable criminals. However, all is not as it seems, and a wasp sting from one of their nests alters his body at the genetic level.

Juzu has been shrunk, reduced in age from 39 to 13. His ex-wife and head researcher at the Z.O.O. Assassin Syndicate confirm this diagnosis and the source of the genetic manipulation. The gang Juzu eliminated had ties to Mitsuoka Pharmaceuticals and their genetic experimentation, from which the wasp originated. Rather than sit on his laurels and wait for a cure that may not come, Juzu accepts a mission from Z.O.O.’s Boss and begins to attend Rikka Middle School to scout it for the Boss’s potential attendance. It’s there that he meets Noren Mitsuoka, the daughter of the head of Mitsuoka Pharmaceuticals.
