The finale of Dandadan Season 1 arrived with the release of Episode 12, concluding a series that has captured the hearts of anime fans throughout Fall 2024. With its exceptional animation, engaging blend of supernatural themes and romance, along with unexpected comedic elements, Dandadan has certainly earned its spot as one of the premier anime series of the year. While its brief initial run leaves fans longing for more, this farewell is not permanent; Season 2 is already on the horizon, promising even more thrilling adventures in the world of Dandadan.
The manga continues to thrive, currently boasting 178 chapters serialized weekly, providing ample material for avid followers of the series. Given the international acclaim of Yukinobu Tatsu’s creation and the ongoing adaptation by Science Saru, there’s plenty to look forward to. This guide offers vital insights into the forthcoming Dandadan Season 2, currently in development.
Dandadan’s Season 2 Reveals Release Date and Trailer
How Fans Can Stay Updated on the Story via Shōnen Jump’s App Manga Plus
Dandadan Season 2’s release date has officially been announced, set for July 2025. Accompanying this exciting news is a stunning key visual and a first-look trailer that hints at the unfolding narrative involving Momo and Okaru as they delve into the mysteries presented in the Cursed House Arc. The trailer introduces Turbo Granny and showcases Jiji’s eerie house, filled with talismans that may harbor a menacing presence.
Additionally, the trailer teases the arrival of new antagonists, particularly Naki Kito, the head of the Kito Family. With a brief yet impactful appearance in Episode 12, he is likely linked to the alarming events troubling the exorcists and Jiji’s parents. Moreover, the Evil Eye spirit haunts Jiji, mirroring the challenges Aira faced with the Acrobatic Silky, and suggests a potential loss of control for Momo’s childhood friend to this embodiment of hatred.
The first season of Dandadan covered up to chapter #33, ending with a suspenseful cliffhanger in Episode 12. Fans eager to continue the saga in the manga should pick up at chapter #34, found in volume 5 or via the digital version on Shōnen Jump’s Manga Plus app, which updates with new chapters every Monday.
What Story Arcs Will Dandadan Season 2 Explore?
Predicting the Length of the Upcoming Season
Despite speculation that Dandadan Season 2 will also encompass 12 episodes, the key visual hints at the arcs to be adapted. The trailer strongly suggests that the Cursed House arc will be explored, spanning from chapter #34 to #50, while musical elements featured point towards a rhythm training segment tied to chapter #57, which is intertwined with the Evil Eye arc, concluding at chapter #62.
Interestingly, the visual also features a monster, possibly signaling the Kaiju Arc, which covers chapters #63 to #73. This indication raises the possibility that Season 2 could culminate with the introduction of the Kaiju before transitioning into the Space Globalists Arc.
With the high stakes of the Cursed House arc and sustained action trajectories, it is plausible that Season 2 may navigate through to the Kaiju Arc. However, this will be contingent on whether Science Saru incorporates original scenes, a stylistic choice they have notably employed in their adaptations.
Dandadan’s Season 2 Sparks High Anticipation
Potential Early Theatrical Release from Science Saru
Dandadan continues to break new ground, having premiered its initial three episodes internationally with Dandadan: First Encounter—a full three months before the official launch. With only seven months to go until Season 2 airs, there is a solid chance that Science Saru will soon unveil either a compilation film of Season 1 or a theatrical debut of Season 2’s initial episodes, leveraging the successful strategy of generating buzz ahead of the official release on streaming platforms.
