Dorohedoro, the famous dark fantasy action anime, has delighted its fans with the announcement of its long-awaited second season. After four years of waiting since its debut on Netflix in 2020, Dorohedoro’s official website has finally revealed that production on the second season has already begun. Accompanying this exciting announcement was the release of new key art showing protagonists Caiman and Nikaido entering the Hungry Bug restaurant.
Based on the dark fantasy manga by K. Hayashida, the story follows Kaiman, an amnesiac mercenary who, after being transformed into a reptile-headed creature by a sorcerer, awakens in a dystopian Hole. Together with Nikaido, a local restaurant owner, Caiman sets out on a personal mission to find the sorcerer responsible for his transformation and take revenge.
Despite the excitement surrounding the news, the lack of further details has fans worried. No further information has been provided regarding the production of the second season, and MAPPA, the studio behind the first season, is no longer listed in the bio of the official Dorohedoro X account. Additionally, the premiere date remains a mystery. And the official X-account of the creator of Q Hayashida reported that the author will play a fundamental role in the continuation of the anime. Such a commitment from the creator can add a distinctive and unique element to the new season.
