The highly anticipated second season of DAN DA DAN has dropped an electrifying new trailer, giving fans a tantalizing glimpse into the next chapter of this genre-blending anime. Released on the official MBS YouTube channel, the trailer showcases the return of Momo Ayase and Ken “Okarun” Takakura as they dive deeper into a world of yokai, aliens, and paranormal chaos. With vibrant animation from Science SARU, a new opening theme, and the introduction of a formidable yokai-hybrid, DAN DA DAN Season 2 promises to elevate the stakes and visual spectacle when it premieres on July 3, 2025.
The trailer is a feast for the senses, highlighting Science SARU’s signature artistry. The animation shifts from the red-heavy palette of Season 1, which emphasized Turbo Granny’s influence, to a striking purple motif, signaling the arrival of a powerful new yokai-hybrid, the Evil Eye. This entity, teased as one of the strongest in the series, appears to possess Jin “Jiji” Enjoji’s body, setting the stage for intense battles and emotional confrontations.
Adding to the excitement, the trailer introduces the new opening theme, On The Way, performed by AiNA THE END. The song’s heartfelt yet energetic vibe perfectly captures the blend of action, comedy, and romance that defines DAN DA DAN. The trailer also reconfirms the theatrical premiere, DAN DA DAN: EVIL EYE, which will screen the final episode of Season 1 alongside the first three episodes of Season 2, starting May 30, 2025, in Asia, followed by North America on June 6 and Europe on June 7.

What DAN DA DAN Season 2 Will Be About
DAN DA DAN Season 2 will dive into the Cursed House and Evil Eye arcs, building on the foundation laid in Season 1’s 12 episodes, which covered four initial arcs. The trailer suggests a darker, more horror-infused narrative, with Momo, Okarun, and their allies confronting the sinister secrets of Jiji’s blood-soaked house. The Evil Eye, a yokai-hybrid hunting Jiji’s physically impressive body, will challenge the group’s strength and teamwork. Expect plot twists, like those involving Aira Shiratori’s yokai abilities and Turbo Granny’s lingering influence, alongside the series’ signature blend of action, romance, and dark comedy.
The season will continue to explore Momo’s telekinetic powers and Okarun’s yokai-hybrid abilities, derived from Turbo Granny’s possession. New foes, including creepy humans reminiscent of Season 1’s unsettling antagonists, will test the group’s resolve. Manga fans know these arcs feature some of the series’ most iconic fights, with Science SARU’s use of purple likely to make these battles visually distinct. As of April 2025, it spans 19 tankōbon volumes, with Viz Media and MANGA Plus publishing it in English.
DAN DA DAN is based on Yukinobu Tatsu’s manga, serialized on Shueisha’s Shonen Jump+ since April 2021. Tatsu, a former assistant on Chainsaw Man and Hell’s Paradise: Jigokuraku, infuses the series with vibrant art and heartfelt moments, drawing inspiration from everyday struggles and familial warmth. The manga has earned critical acclaim, ranking first in Nationwide Bookstore Employees’ Recommended Comics of 2022 and boasting a 100% approval rating for its anime adaptation on Rotten Tomatoes.
Directed by Fūga Yamashiro and Abel Góngora at Science SARU, with scripts by Hiroshi Seko and music by Kensuke Ushio, DAN DA DAN Season 2 is poised to build on the first season’s success. As Momo and Okarun face new paranormal threats, fans can expect a rollercoaster of emotions, stunning visuals, and the quirky charm that makes DAN DA DAN a standout in the shonen genre.
