Dandadan Season 3 will be released next year, and fans already know it’s going to be worth the wait. The anime is based on a beloved Shonen Jump+ manga written and illustrated by Yukinobu Tatsu. While the manga was already popular after its debut in 2021, it reached new heights of popularity thanks to the spectacular animation by Science SARU. The anime grabbed viewers’ attention from the first episode with its eccentric story, lovable characters, breathtaking animation, and, of course, one of the best opening themes of all time. The second season reached its conclusion in September 2025 with one of the most shocking cliffhangers ever, as the story sets up a crucial arc.

While fans await updates on the anime’s return next year, the official X handle of GKIDS confirms the second season’s Blu-ray DVD is finally available for sale. Fans can get the collector’s edition and a standard edition of both seasons on the official website of GKIDS. The collector’s edition comes with gorgeous character art cards, a die-cut sticker, and a 32-page booklet. Meanwhile, both editions also include special bonuses such as interviews with the staff and crew, creditless openings and ending themes, and more.
Dandadan Is Commemorating Its 5th Anniversary This Year
The manga is celebrating its 5th anniversary with exciting new surprises for fans. The anniversary celebration has been going on for months with several new surprises. The series also confirmed its first-ever stage play adaptations. To keep fans updated with the project, an official website was launched along with the announcement. It will be held in August and September 2026 in Tokyo and Osaka, respectively.
Further information will be shared at a later date, but so far it’s only confirmed to be held in Japan. Meanwhile, international fans might get a glimpse at the characters and the first look before the play. While this is the highlight of the anniversary celebration, the manga also received congratulatory art from other creators, including Junji Ito, the legendary horror creator. Ito’s art style has heavily influenced Tatsu, who blends sci-fi elements along with horror in the series.
Dandadan Is All Set For Its Best Arc in Season 3
The latest season ended before the Kajiu Arc could conclude, leaving behind several questions unanswered after the introduction of a mysterious girl who was controlling the gigantic Godzilla-like robot. While the anime has always been action-packed, it will get even more intense in the third season since it will be adapting the Space Globalists Arc.
It has been heavily foreshadowed since the Cursed House Arc in Season 2, as the anime has already made it clear that there’s an impending threat Momo and the others will have to face soon. The Space Globalists is the longest arc in the manga so far, spanning across 47 chapters. Season 3 will reveal the burning questions about the mysterious girl and the strange alien that controlled everyone in the Kito family.
