'Dandadan': What Happened in the Season 2 Finale & What to Expect in Season 3?

The second season of Dandadan has concluded, leaving viewers thrilled yet with a mountain of questions.

Join us as we explore the ending, discuss whether the second season was as good as the first, and speculate about what the third chapter has in store.

What Happened in the 'Dandadan' Season 2 Finale?

The final episodes of the season were a madcap climax. Led by Momo and Okarun, the team set out to find the second golden ball, which had been captured by a giant kaiju.

In order to confront the monster, Momo's grandmother's house magically transformed into a giant, Buddha-shaped combat robot. However, the battle didn't go according to plan. They were losing until Kinta Sakata, a robot fan, took control.

After a tense battle, the kaiju was defeated. But the biggest surprise of all was waiting inside the monster: a cute alien with horns who immediately kissed Okarun right in front of Momo.

Was 'Dandadan' Season 2 as Good as Season 1?

Not only did the second season maintain the high standard set by the first, it raised the bar even higher. Retaining all the key strengths of the first season – the frantic pace, brilliant Science SARU animation, and unique humor – it significantly deepened the characters and added scale.

The romance between Okarun and Momo became more pronounced, and a new character joined the love story.

Some fans were slightly disappointed by the less memorable opening compared to the hit "Otonoke" by Creepy Nuts. Overall, however, the soundtrack remained excellent, particularly the fight scene set to Beethoven's "Ode to Joy."

What Will 'Dandadan' Season 3 Be About & When Will It Be Released?

The creators announced work on a third season immediately after the finale. Judging by the adapted manga chapters, we can expect the Kaiju arc and the large-scale Space Globalists arc to continue.

In the finale, the alien is revealed to be Vamola. Her kiss with Okarun was no accident – she recognizes his power and intends to marry him. The team will face new alien invaders who seek to subjugate Earth, and will uncover Vamola's past.

No precise date has been announced yet. Considering the first season premiered in late 2024 and the second in late summer/early fall of 2025, the third season is most likely to premiere in late 2026 or early 2027.
