Now, with Season 2 set to launch on July 3, 2025, excitement is building for what’s next in Momo Ayase and Ken “Okarun” Takakura’s wild journey.

Release Date and Where to Watch
Dandadan Season 2 will hit screens on July 3, 2025, airing in Japan on MBS’ Super Animeism TURBO slot. For global fans, the season will stream on Netflix, Crunchyroll, and Hulu, with new episodes dropping weekly on Thursdays.
What’s the Story This Time?
Season 2 jumps straight into the Cursed House arc, then shifts to the Evil Eye arc, with possible teases of the Kaiju arc by the end. Covering roughly manga chapters 34 to 62, and maybe touching 63 to 73, these arcs bring fresh challenges. Here’s a quick, spoiler-free peek:
-
Cursed House Arc: Momo, Okarun, and Jiji tackle a creepy house linked to Jiji’s family. Think spooky talismans, ghostly encounters, and moments that reveal more about Jiji’s backstory and his ties to Momo. It’s a test of their courage and teamwork.
-
Evil Eye Arc: A sinister yokai called the Evil Eye stirs up trouble, feeding on dark emotions and possessing a human. This arc blends intense fights with heavier emotional stakes, as Momo and Okarun face both the spirit and their own feelings. Expect surprises and epic showdowns.
-
Kaiju Arc Hints: Promos show musical instruments and a giant figure, suggesting early Kaiju arc vibes. This could introduce high-tech gear like Nanoskin and new faces, expanding the show’s bizarre universe.
The season keeps the humor and heart fans love, with Momo and Okarun’s budding romance complicated by Jiji’s presence, adding layers of jealousy and growth.
New Faces and Foes
Get ready for some chilling villains. The Evil Eye and the Avatar of Hatred, with its eerie purple, sketch-like look, promise to raise the stakes. These threats hit hard, mixing mind games with brutal battles. New characters also shake things up, bringing energy to the crew without feeling like one-offs. They’re set to leave a mark, making the group’s dynamic even wilder.
