Hold onto your spirit mediums, because DAN DA DAN is barreling back with a third season, as announced on the anime’s official website. The series, a whirlwind of ghostly brawls, alien invasions, and teenage swagger, promises to crank the chaos up a notch, keeping Momo and Okarun’s supernatural saga blazing forward. This renewal solidifies DAN DA DAN as a heavyweight in the anime world, ready to hurl more paranormal pandemonium at its devoted audience.
While the official announcement keeps details like release dates or new plot points tantalizingly vague, the greenlight for Season 3 guarantees more of the high-energy storytelling that’s made the adaptation of Yukinobu Tatsu’s manga a sensation. With its first two seasons already winning over viewers through a mix of sharp humor, heart-racing action, and Science Saru’s dazzling animation, the upcoming season is set to deliver the same explosive vibe. Expect the signature soundtrack and fluid fight scenes to keep the momentum, as the show dives deeper into its wild universe of ghosts, aliens, and cursed powers.
DAN DA DAN, crafted by Yukinobu Tatsu, launched in Shueisha’s Shōnen Jump+ digital magazine on November 3, 2021. The manga has since stacked up volumes and a rabid following, blending horror, comedy, and action with its offbeat character designs and unpredictable plot. The anime, produced by Science Saru under director Fūga Yamashiro, premiered in October 2024, with Season 2 following in early 2025. Its vibrant visuals and dynamic fight sequences have cemented its reputation, chronicling high schoolers grappling with a reality where ghosts and extraterrestrials collide.
What DAN DA DAN Season 3 Could Be About
While no official synopsis for Season 3 has been released, the trajectory of Yukinobu Tatsu’s manga offers tantalizing hints about what’s next for Momo, Okarun, and their eclectic crew. The manga’s later arcs ramp up the stakes, introducing new paranormal threats that blend folklore with cosmic horror. Season 3 could see the duo facing off against more powerful spirits or extraterrestrial entities, potentially diving into the origins of Momo’s awakened abilities or the deeper mechanics of Okarun’s curse. The series’ knack for balancing character development with over-the-top battles suggests that secondary characters, like the quirky Aira or the enigmatic Turbo Granny, might take center stage in new conflicts. Given the manga’s penchant for surprises, expect Season 3 to weave in fresh mysteries—perhaps exploring the shadowy connections between the ghostly and alien realms—while keeping the humor and heart that define DAN DA DAN.
Crunchyroll's description of the DAN DA DAN reads:
When high schooler Momo, from a family of spirit mediums, first meets her classmate Okarun, an occult geek, they argue—Momo believes in ghosts but denies aliens, and Okarun believes in aliens but denies ghosts. When it turns out both phenomena are real, Momo awakens a hidden power and Okarun gains the power of a curse. Together, they must challenge the paranormal forces threatening their world.
