The look of the first season 2 of Dan Da Dan is more foreboding than fun

The first (and quite large) season of Dan Da Dan finished just a few days ago, and it didn’t take much for Science Saru to announce a second season was in production. That’s good news, but the big news? Jump Festa gave a first look at what’s to come for Momo, Okarun, and the rest of their offspring.

Last we saw, the show was in the early parts of the “Cursed House” arc, and saw the duo go on a journey with Momo’s childhood friend, Jiji, to exorcise an evil spirit from the his house While waiting for him to appear, it turns out that they may have misjudged the situation: Jiji and Okarun found a secret room in the house full of talismans, while Momo was attacked by a group of male villagers. Children may have Turbo Granny with them, but they may be in a bit more danger than previous threats like aliens and Acro-Silky. and that is not yet touched on the ominous tease of the “Avatar of hatred” with the desire to wipe out humanity, and a particular interest in young Jiji.

by Dan From Dan has always been a mixture of supernatural horror comedy, and this trailer leans more on the latter. You know how some TV or movie writers will sometimes call their sequel darker than the first? This is so; where the trailers of the season let you know that you are in for a good time, this wants the fear of the gang as they understand what is happening and try to complete their task. The brief glimpses of the arch’s big bad, an “Avatar of Hate,” give off scarier vibes than Turbo Granny’s pose, and it looks like things are about to escalate in some pretty big ways.

Why does the Avatar want to wipe out humanity, and what does Jiji have to do with these plans? We’ll find out when Dan Da Dan returns to Netflix and Crunchyroll in July 2025.
