Season 2 of Dan Da Dan has come to a close — and fans are already hoping for more.
Based on the manga by Yukinobu Tatsu, Dan Da Dan follows two teenagers — Ken Takakura, a.k.a. Okarun, and Momo Ayase — who find themselves fighting terrifying paranormal demons, spirits and aliens. Since its premiere in October 2024, the Japanese animated series has become a streaming sensation, taking home Best Character Design, Best Anime Song and Best Opening Sequence at the 2025 Crunchyroll Anime Awards.
Season 2 of the supernatural series premiered in July 2025, and after 12 action-packed episodes, it came to a close with a shocking finale on Sept. 19.

In the season 2 finale of Dan Da Dan, Momo, Aira and Kinta construct a massive robot to battle the mysterious Space Kaiju. With Kinta piloting, and Momo’s psychic powers fused with Aira’s hair abilities, the group makes a desperate attempt to shift the battle in their favor. Meanwhile, Okarun and Jiji — ejected from the Buddha robot — crash-land in a nearby rice field.
The fight reaches its climax when Okarun tears open the Space Kaiju’s stomach, only to discover it’s not a monster at all, but rather, a spacesuit. Inside is an attractive green-haired girl — presumably comic book character Vamola — who wastes no time complicating matters by suddenly kissing Okarun. Momo watches from a distance, and the devastation leads her to crush a piece of Nanoskin in her hand, which briefly forms a heart before melting away as her home explodes behind her.
The season ends on a cliffhanger, where a distraught Momo grapples with the jealousy of seeing Vamola kiss Okarun, leaving the door open for more romance and rivalry to come.

The official cast list for Dan Da Dan season 3 has yet to be announced.
However, if the season picks up with the aftermath of Okarun and Vamola’s kiss and Momo’s reaction, it’s likely viewers can expect all three of those characters to return.
Plus, hopefully they’ll be joined by other fan-favorites like Momo’s grandmother, Seiko Ayase, Turbo Granny, Kinta and Aira, but fans will have to stay tuned to find out.
When will Dan Da Dan season 3 be released?

A release date for Dan Da Dan for season 3 has yet to be announced, so fans will have to stay tuned for future updates.
