Dandadan, an anime that captured the attention of fans with its stellar first season, continues to grow in popularity. The first season aired in October 2024, comprising 12 episodes, and received immense praise for its engaging story and animation. As fans eagerly await the second season’s release in July 2025, the series’ fame continues to rise, especially with the recent recognition of its protagonists in a Marvel comic.
The inclusion of Momo Ayase and Okarun in the Avengers Academy: Marvel’s Voices Infinity comic marked a significant milestone for Dandadan. It’s a rare occurrence for manga characters to appear in a Marvel publication, making this event a major talking point among anime fans. This unique achievement has only added to the anticipation for season two, further elevating the series’ presence in pop culture.
Season 2 Details and Cast Updates
The decision to quickly move ahead with Dandadan’s second season was largely influenced by the first season’s success. With only 12 episodes and a cliffhanger ending, it made sense for the second season to premiere in July 2025, rather than delaying it further. Fans are excited to see how the story will continue, as the show’s fast-paced narrative demands a quick follow-up.
The main cast is expected to return for the second season, ensuring continuity and consistency. Shion Wakayama will reprise her role as Momo Ayase, and Natsuki Hanae will return as Okarun. Nana Mizuki will once again voice Seiko Ayase, while Mayumi Tanaka is set to return as Turbo Granny. New characters will be introduced in season two, though updates regarding their cast members are still pending.
Directorial Team and Expectations for Season 2
Abel Góngora and Fūga Yamashiro are set to co-direct the second season of Dandadan, which is expected to retain much of the original staff. The continuation of the series promises to maintain the high standards set by the first season. Fans are excited to see how the creative team will handle the next chapter in this fast-paced, action-packed saga.
Dandadan, created by Yukinobu Tatsu, first serialized on Shonen Jump+ in April 2021. The manga has since gained a massive following, with 18 volumes published to date. With over 5 million copies sold, Dandadan has become one of the most talked-about anime in recent times. Fans hope the series continues to evolve without rushing toward its conclusion, as there’s a growing appetite for more content.
