Read on and watch the Dandadan Season 2 trailer below
The official trailer for Season 2 just dropped – Get ready for more chaos, curses, and questionable yokai physics.
By all accounts, Dandadan Season 1 was one of the most delightful and bizarre surprises in recent anime history. A series that dares to ask the eternal question: What if you combined paranormal horror, sci-fi conspiracy, teen angst, absurd comedy, and bone-breaking action—all at once—and it worked? Well, it did. And now, with Season 2 on the horizon, fans are bracing themselves for even more aliens, yokai, ancient curses, high school drama, and Turbo Granny’s foul-mouthed reincarnation as a Maneki-Neko. Yes, you read that right.
So what can we expect from Dandadan Season 2, now that Season 1 left us on the threshold of galactic invasions and spiritual warfare? Let’s break it down before we take a peek at the trailer for season 2.
👽 Aliens, Yokai, and a Whole Lot of “What the Hell Is That?”
Season 1 escalated quickly from “awkward teens exploring the supernatural” to “full-blown alien abduction” and “possessed genital demons.” By the final episodes, it was clear that Earth is the battleground for both extraterrestrial and spiritual weirdness, and neither side is backing off.
Season 2 is expected to ramp up the conflict, with the alien threat becoming more organized and aggressive. These aren’t your friendly, probing Martians—they’re nightmarish bio-mechanical horrors who really don’t care about your personal space. Meanwhile, the yokai realm is getting even more unpredictable. The strange energy around Momo and Okarun (Ken) is attracting increasingly powerful supernatural entities, and let’s just say they’re not here for tea.
Expect the show to dive deeper into the lore behind these threats. Where do these aliens come from? What’s the deal with the yokai hierarchy? And how many ways can an interdimensional ghost punch a teenager?
💖 Momo Ayase & Ken Takakura: Paranormal Duo, Maybe Something More?
Momo and Ken are the emotional heart of Dandadan—when they’re not blasting monsters into walls or screaming at Turbo Granny. In Season 1, we saw Momo’s tsundere walls slowly start to crack, and Ken (Okarun) beginning to come into his own, both as a fighter and as someone trying to understand his self-worth.
In Season 2, fans are hoping for even more growth in their dynamic. Will Momo finally admit her feelings out loud without turning red and kicking someone through a building? Will Ken gain more confidence and maybe even take the lead in a fight and a romantic moment? The tension is thick enough to cut with a laser sword—or at least a cursed ghost nail.
Also, can we talk about their supernatural power-up potential? Between Ken’s possession-powered speed bursts and Momo’s spiritual energy blasts, we’re heading into full shonen territory—with the added bonus of them being absolutely terrible at confessing their feelings.
💥 The Supporting Cast: Weird, Wild, and Wonderful
- Aira Shiratori: The hot-headed spiritualist brawler is quickly becoming a fan favorite, especially with her unique brand of righteous chaos. Season 2 is expected to explore her own spiritual roots and powers further—plus, we’d love to see her actually have a non-violent conversation with Momo. Maybe.
- Jin Enjoji: Jin’s introduction added a stoic, mysterious layer to the cast. With his spiritual abilities and dark past, he’s set to be a key player as more powerful enemies emerge. Also, he’s the perfect straight man to the rest of the team’s unhinged energy.
- Seiko Ayase: Momo’s grandma is still the toughest character in the series—and she does it all in a kimono with a cup of tea in hand. She’s part exorcist, part therapist, and part professional chaos-wrangler. More Seiko in Season 2 means more hilarious one-liners, unexpected wisdom, and probably uppercutting a god at some point.
- Turbo Granny (as a Maneki-Neko): Ah yes, the eternally cursed, inappropriately loud yokai, now trapped in the form of a lucky cat statue. This might be the most chaotic downgrade of all time—or possibly the best. Expect her to continue giving bad advice, swearing like a sailor, and maybe saving the day with sheer spite.
🎨 Animation, Action, and Absurdity: What Fans Are Hyped For
Season 1’s animation (produced by Science SARU) stunned fans with its crisp, kinetic action and mind-bending visual style. From psychic battles to alien laser brawls, every episode was a kaleidoscope of chaos—and Season 2 is only going to turn that dial up.
With new characters, bigger threats, and more emotional moments on the way, fans are hoping the visual storytelling continues to match the intensity and heart of the manga. And let’s be real—Dandadan isn’t just about the insanity. It’s about the heart underneath the insanity. And aliens. Lots of aliens.
👀 Final Thoughts: What We’re All Waiting For
Season 2 of Dandadan isn’t just about who punches the next ghost-alien hybrid. It’s about watching a group of misfits grow into their powers, deal with trauma, try to pass high school, and maybe, just maybe, confess to each other without getting interrupted by a haunted toilet demon.
With Momo and Ken’s relationship deepening, new arcane threats on the horizon, and supporting characters stealing scenes left and right, Dandadan Season 2 is set to be as emotionally resonant as it is gleefully unhinged.
Hold on to your cursed relics. It’s going to be a wild ride.
