Dandadan Season 1 Quick Recap
Last year’s 12-episode premiere rocketed Dandadan into superstardom with a spotless 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes and a triple victory at the Crunchyroll Anime Awards. The anime introduced two high school students: Momo Ayase, a ghost believer, and Ken “Okarun” Takakura, an avid alien enthusiast.
A bet between the two sees Momo off to a UFO-infested hospital and Okarun to a haunted tunnel, proving both legends true. Okarun gets cursed with Turbo Granny’s insane speed (and loses a fair bit of dignity), while Momo unlocks a potent psychic force.
They join forces to rescue their classmate Aira from a creepy Acrobatic Silky, fight Serpoian invaders, and pursue Momo’s childhood friend, Jiji, to a mansion full of deadly talismans.
Okarun is faced with a new mysterious room in the season finale, and Momo battles predatory bathhouse “crocodiles,” a cliffhanger now just hours from being resolved.
Dandadan Season 2 Episode 1 Preview: What Season 2 Will Cover
Studio Science SARU returns for production, with writer Hiroshi Seko back and co-director Abel Góngora returning with Fūga Yamashiro. Season 2 picks up from Chapter 33, closing out the Curse House Arc before getting into the highly anticipated Evil Eye Arc, content fans saw in June’s special theatrical sampler Dandadan: Evil Eye.
Expect roughly 30 to 40 manga chapters squeezed into 12 fast-paced episodes, maybe even teasing the start of the Kaiju Arc in the finale.

Of course, action’s only half the story. Okarun’s growing courage, Momo’s deepening feelings, and Jiji’s mysterious bond with the vengeful Evil Eye promise equal doses of chaos and heart. Add in strange new allies, the creepy Music Room Portraits, and a hot spring escape gone wrong, and Season 2 is loaded with fresh supernatural madness.
