What to Expect From Dandadan Season 2?
The second season of Dandadan will conclude the Cursed House Arc. Additionally, it’s also expected to adapt at least the Evil Eye and the Kaiju Arcs. The promotion video and the key visual tease both the Cursed House and the Evil Eye Arcs. The fight against the Kito family will be long and challenging, but they aren’t the main villains of this arc. Instead, something even more dangerous is lurking around the house. Unfortunately, their troubles don’t end there as Jiji gets possessed by something, as shown in the teaser.
The Evil Eye Arc is the aftermath of the grueling fight where Jiji gets possessed and poses a danger to everyone around him. His powers are beyond anything Momo and Okarun can control but they figure out a trick to keep the Yokai possessing him at bay. Lastly, The Kaiju Arc introduces a new major character. While the arc itself is short, it sets up the premise of the manga’s most intense arc till now, the Space Globalist Arc.
The episode count of Season 2 hasn’t been confirmed so there’s no guarantee if it will cover the Space Globalist Arc yet. However, we can at least expect the upcoming season to set up the premise of the Space Globalist Arc like Season 1 did with the Cursed House. The first season of Dandadan is currently streaming on Crunchyroll, Netflix, Hulu, and Prime Video. You can also read the digital version of the manga in the official app of Manga Plus and the official website of Viz.
