Even hell’s judgment depends on you.Hell’s Verdict All-Stars

Even hell’s judgment depends on you.

This song was the opening theme for the anime Hozuki’s Coolheadedness.

Even though it’s themed around hell, the vibe is poppy, yet the lyrics casually say some scary things… it’s truly a unique track.

Its brightness makes it perfect BGM for Halloween events, and it has a charm that lets you play it on endless loop.

You could even do Halloween cosplay that matches the world of Hozuki’s Coolheadedness—totally a great idea.

The prison guard duo Karashi and Nasubi would be a blast, and if you cosplay as the Datsueba, the costume might even be pretty cheap!
