Dandadan 2 May 2026
But what can we expect from the continuation of Momo Ayase and Ken Takakura’s journey? From new characters to terrifying villains and the evolution of a unique animation style, here is your ultimate guide to the next chapter of Dandadan . To understand the hype surrounding Season 2, one must appreciate the feat of Season 1. Produced by Science SARU—the studio known for Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! and Scott Pilgrim Takes Off — Dandadan adapted Yukinobu Tatsu’s popular manga with a distinct visual flair.
Season 1 covered roughly the first four volumes of the manga. If Season 2 follows the standard pacing of a 12-to-13-episode cour, we are heading into one of the most beloved arcs of the series: The Evil Eye Arc.

In the world of Dandadan , these aren't just body parts; they are sources of immense spiritual power. The beginning of Season 2 will likely see Momo and Okarun teaming up to locate the missing orb, unaware that it has fallen into dangerous hands.

Jiji is everything Okarun is not: handsome, charismatic, and socially confident. His arrival immediately triggers Okarun’s insecurities, setting up a classic (and hilarious) love triangle dynamic.

Science SARU has committed to continuing the story, and given the source material's popularity, is being treated as a high-priority project. The Plot: What Story Will Season 2 Tell?

However, this is Dandadan , so the romance is merely a vessel for horror. Jiji has come to Momo for help regarding a strange entity haunting his family’s hot spring inn. This request leads the group to a sprawling, traditional estate, setting the stage for the season’s primary conflict. The antagonist of this arc, the Evil Eye (Jashin), is distinct from the Turbo Granny. While Turbo Granny was malicious, she operated on a certain logic of curses and grudges. The Evil Eye is a entity of possession and malice. The dynamic between Okarun and the Evil Eye introduces a "Jekyll and Hyde" element to the series that allows for incredible character development for Okarun, as he must Produced by Science SARU—the studio known for Keep
In the landscape of modern shonen anime, few series have exploded onto the scene with the same kinetic energy, unbridled chaos, and sheer weirdness as Dandadan (often stylized as Dan Da Dan ).
