by

Yukinobu Tatsu’s critically acclaimed manga “Dandadan,” originally introduced in animated form during Fall 2024, gained immense popularity and broke multiple records. Fans adored it due to the high-quality animation, intriguing plot, and charming characters. The initial season ended on a suspenseful cliffhanger, leaving one of the manga’s most thrilling arcs unresolved. Fortunately, fans didn’t have to wait long after the first season’s conclusion because “Dandadan” premiered its second season this month as part of the Summer 2025 anime schedule. As the Cursed House saga nears its conclusion, the anime is preparing for another installment in its captivating storyline.

Investigating the most-watched shows on Netflix, it was discovered that the anime series “Dandadan” has seen a surge in popularity following its Season 2 premiere. This revelation was made public on July 22nd, 2025, and showcased data from both seasons. In just two weeks, Season 2 amassed 9.4 million views, surpassing the 7.7 million views of Season 1 during the same period. This significant achievement is noteworthy given that the first season consistently ranked within the Top 10 throughout its airtime. It’s also important to mention that “Dandadan” can be found on Crunchyroll as well, which means the total viewership worldwide surpasses the numbers in the report. With half of Season 2 still left to unfold, the narrative promises to become even more captivating.

What’s Next in Dandadan Season 2?

In the second season of “Dandadan”, the enigma surrounding the Haunted Mansion was finally unraveled, exposing the true intentions of the Kito clan. The hidden room, discovered by Jiji and Okaru at the end of Season 1, led to an underground chamber housing a colossal monster that had been devouring humans and forcing the mansion’s inhabitants to take their own lives. For more than two centuries, the Kito family has been offering human sacrifices to a Mongolian Deathworm, or Tsuchinoko, due to a deeply rooted superstition. Had it not been for Momo and Grandma Turbo, Jiji and Okaru would have been the next victims.

After Tsuchinoko’s demise, a volcanic explosion ensued, causing additional trouble and endangering Momo and their companions. However, Granny Seiko and her allies arrived on the scene, ensuring the town’s safety. Although the battle against the Kito family concluded due to Tsuchinoko’s death, Jiji continues to face peril because of the Malevolent Spirit, also known as the Evil Eye. This vengeful Yokai has taken control of Jiji and shows no signs of releasing him. Despite the fact that the Evil Eye was once an innocent and pitiful child, over almost two centuries of resentment, it has evolved into one of the most powerful Yokai in the series.

The upcoming second season will delve into the “Evil Eye Arc,” focusing on events following our current narrative. Currently, Jiji is powerless over his own body, as the malevolent force of the Evil Eye thirsts for destruction and would ruthlessly eliminate anyone in its path. Its strength is uncontainable and must be stopped. The plot will unfold to reveal the fate of both Jiji and the Evil Eye after their fierce confrontation concludes.
