Anime likeJujutsju Kaisen, Attack on Titan, Oshi no Ko, etc., dominated the award ceremony with multiple award wins.Jujutsu Kaisenwon the most, with eleven awards.Chainsaw Manseason one had a few nominations, but it could not perform as the fans had hoped. Denji and Pochita’s friendship was not strong enough.
But there was a certain category that the fans had hoped for a different result. During the award ceremony,Jujutsu Kaisenwon the Best Opening Sequence award. Even though fans voted it to be the best, many believe that it would have been given toChainsaw Man. Chainsaw Man’s opening theme broke a record that evenOne Piecefailed to achieve.
Chainsaw Man’s Opening Theme is Pure Gold
Chainsaw Manseason one had mixed reviews, but the opening theme was liked by all. The opening theme is namedKICK BACKand was sung by Kenshi Yonezu in 2022.

KICK BACKbecame the first and only song written and performed in Japanese to achieve it. The journey has been nothing short of phenomenal. Kenshi Yonezu became the first Japanese artist to get featured on Spotify’s Global Top 50 Chart, thanks toKICK BACK’s successful run. People recognized the song at once after hearing it asChainsaw Man’s opening theme.
