Answer Info:

Answer, performed by no3b, is the first ending theme for the anime Beelzebub. Answer is no3b's sixth single. It was used from episode 1 through episode 10.

"Answer" is the 6th single No3b, a unit of the Japanese idol group AKB48. The single was released by Epic Records Japan on March 2, 2011. The single made it to number two on the Oricon weekly singles charts. No Sleeves (ノースリーブス, Nō Surībusu) was a subunit from idol group AKB48's original Team A, produced by Yasushi Akimoto. The group is commonly referred as no3b, a stylized version of the group's name, which is a wasei-eigo term for sleeveless clothes. Members: Haruna Kojima, Minami Minegishi, and Minami Takahashi.

The original span was to be from episode 1 to episode 12 (now episode 10), but following the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, two episodes have skipped airing, while all other releases, including the release of the next two episodes and the new ending, remained on schedule. Hence, episode 10 is the last episode to feature this ending theme.

Modifications following the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami:

Following the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, the opening and ending sequence for the series was modified for Episode 10 to remove all references of earthquakes, flooding and mass graves. These modifications include the following:

The scene where Oga is carrying Beelzebub and standing triumphantly over a large group of teenagers lying down on the ground had been modified to depict Oga's shadow on a barren ground cast by the sun in the background instead.

In another scene, Alaindelon is normally seen floating across a large body of water as Oga and Beelzebub watch him from the shore. Alaindelon had been edited out such that Oga and Beelzebub are merely looking out at the water.
