About this sound

Kick Back by Kenshi Yonezu is the energetic opening theme from Chainsaw Man, used in anime edits, AMVs and fan videos for high energy intros.

Kick Back is a fast, punchy excerpt from Kenshi Yonezu's rock track built for the Chainsaw Man opening. It opens with a driving bass line, distorted guitars and urgent drums before Yonezu's intense, half-shouted vocals kick in. The sound feels chaotic, rebellious and adrenaline charged, matching a character who fights with reckless energy. Listeners instantly associate the riff and chorus hook with Denji's transformation and the anime's wild tone. Even a short clip raises the pace of a video, signalling action, attitude and a sudden shift from calm to full throttle.

Pro tip

Place Kick Back right on a transformation, reveal or first hit, letting the bass drop start a second before the cut. Keep dialogue low under the vocal hook, use quick cuts on the drum hits, and avoid looping the chorus twice in a row.

How people use it

Drop under Chainsaw Man edits and Denji transformation scenes.
Use as intro music for fast paced anime AMVs.
Add to workout montages needing aggressive rock energy bursts.
Play behind cosplay reveals and convention entrance videos.
