The highly anticipated second season of the supernatural action-comedy anime, DAN DA DAN, wrapped up on September 18, 2025, delivering an epic conclusion that has left fans buzzing. Following the finale’s broadcast, the series’ official channels confirmed that a third season is already in production, promising more paranormal and extraterrestrial adventures for Momo Ayase and Ken “Okarun” Takakura. Viewers can catch up on all the action of Season 2, including the finale, on streaming platforms like Crunchyroll, Netflix, and Hulu.
DAN DA DAN Season 2 Concludes with Epic Finale
The twelfth and final episode of DAN DA DAN Season 2 aired on September 18, 2025, culminating the “Evil Eye Arc” and a significant portion of the “Kaiju Arc.” The season finale reportedly featured an intense battle against a giant kaiju attacking the city. In a fantastical turn, Momo reshaped her grandmother’s moldable house into a colossal robot, allowing her and her friends to pilot it against the monstrous threat.
The climax saw the kaiju eventually defeated, shrinking in size. Upon investigation, a zipper was discovered, revealing an alien girl inside the suit who promptly kissed Okarun, adding a new layer of complexity to the burgeoning relationship between Okarun and Momo. This shocking twist served as a significant cliffhanger, perfectly setting the stage for future narratives. Additionally, the finale saw Jiji regain his human form after Okarun lured Evil Eye back with a hot meat bun, fulfilling a promise to not attack anyone while under Evil Eye’s influence.
Season 3 Officially Announced
Hot on the heels of the Season 2 finale, the official website and social media accounts for DAN DA DAN announced that a third season is officially in production. While a specific release date has yet to be confirmed, early speculation suggests a potential premiere in Spring 2026, possibly April, if the production schedule mirrors previous seasons. Science SARU will once again handle the animation, with Fūga Yamashiro and Abel Góngora credited as directors for the new season.
The upcoming Season 3 is widely expected to delve into the manga’s expansive “Space Globalists Arc,” which spans six volumes. This arc promises the introduction of another alien group with potentially nefarious intentions, ensuring that Momo and Okarun’s cosmic and supernatural encounters are far from over.
