Dorohedoro Season 2 is all set to release in 2025, as announced earlier with a new teaser visual! The Dorohedoro anime sequel, based on the manga by Q Hayashida, has been one of the most anticipated anime sequels in recent times!
The first season of the anime aired back in January 2020, and the sequel was announced one year ago, in January 2024. After almost a year of the sequel announcement, we finally have a release date, albeit not an exact one!
The makers have released a new teaser visual revealing a 2025 release date, but we’ll have to wait for further information on exactly when the anime sequel will be released!
Dorohedoro Anime Sequel’s New Teaser Visual:
What Do We Know About Dorohedoro Season 2?
At the time of writing this article, not much is known about the Dorohedoro anime sequel. All we know right now is that it will be released sometime in 2025, and MAPPA will return to handle the animation.
Moreover, Yuichiro Hayashi, who directed the anime’s first season, is returning as director for the second season as well!
Although the anime sequel was announced last year, no further updates were given until today, when the 2025 premiere date was announced.
However, now that the anime is releasing this year, we’ll get constant updates regarding the season. Soon, we’ll know if the cast and crew of the first season are returning or if there will be some changes. And we’ll even find out the exact release date soon!
What to Expect From Dorohedoro Season 2?
With the first season released 5 years ago now, it’s no surprise that speculation on what comes next in the story is awry in the anime community. However, looking at the manga, we can see what exactly MAPPA will animate next in the upcoming sequel.
The first season’s ending saw Nikaido and Caimen reconciling after a pretty insane and gut-wrenching battle. Nikaido reassures Caimen that they can still be friends regardless of their powers. She also shared that she stopped using her time-based magic powers as it once killed a friend of hers. That is also why she chose to live in “Hole”, as it was a great place to lay low and stay out of trouble.
So, the second season will most likely animate the next canon arc, the “Central Department Store Story Arc,” which is a pretty great arc!
Is the Dorohedoro Manga Finished?
Though the anime is far from over in terms of content, the original manga series, which began in 2000, has concluded.
Q Hyashida is actively working on a new series, Dai Dark, which has been doing extremely well. Let’s hope this series also gets a faithful anime adaptation sometime soon!
Returning to the Dorohedoro manga, the entire story is over, so there’s no need for MAPPA to come up with filler episodes or restrict themselves in storytelling. The manga spans 23 volumes and 167 chapters, so as far as source material is concerned, we have many seasons to go with Dorohedoro!
Conclusion
That brings us to the end of the article! The Dorohedoro anime sequel is finally inching closer to release, and we’ll see Caiman and Nikaido back in action before the year ends.
I’ll update the article with new information regarding the upcoming Dorohedoro Season 2 as soon as it is released, so come back to check whenever you want. And don’t forget to share the good news with your friends, too!
