Alright, let’s talk about Dorohedoro, that wild, gritty anime that’s got everyone hooked with its lizard-headed hero and insane world. Fans have been dying to know: is Season 2 actually coming? Here’s the latest on what’s happening with Kaiman, Nikaido, and the whole messy, magical Hole.
Dorohedoro Season 2 is Confirmed!
Big news dropped in January 2024 on the Dorohedoro official site and socials—Season 2 is a go! To mark the fifth anniversary of the first season, a dope teaser visual with raw storyboards hit the web, confirming the chaos returns in 2025. No exact date yet, but word on the street points to late 2025, maybe fall or winter. MAPPA, the studio behind Attack on Titan and Chainsaw Man, is back, and director Yuichiro Hayashi’s promising a season that’s “way more unhinged, bloody, and nuts” than the first. Buckle up.
What to Expect from Dorohedoro Season 2
If you’re new to Dorohedoro, it’s about Caiman, a guy with a lizard head and no memories, teaming up with Nikaido to hunt sorcerers in the grimy Hole. Season 1 tackled about seven volumes of Q Hayashida’s manga, leaving tons of story for Season 2. The manga’s got 23 volumes and 167 chapters, so there’s plenty to dig into.
Here’s the vibe for Season 2:
Big Reveals: The Central Department Store arc is up next, spilling secrets about Caiman’s past and Nikaido’s devilish ties. Expect major bombshells about their links to heavyweights like En and Chidaruma.
Fresh Faces: Manga faves like Dokuga from the Cross-Eyes crew and Kawajiri hit the screen, shaking things up. Haru, teased in Season 1, steps into the spotlight too.
Insane Fights: MAPPA’s mixing 2D and 3D animation to make the manga’s weird, brutal world pop. Fans are pumped for arcs like “Night of the Living Dead,” loaded with epic battles and trippy visuals.
Total Mayhem: Hayashi’s hints suggest more of that dark humor, gore, and absurdity that made Season 1 a cult classic.
