After 3 Years, ‘Dorohedoro’ Anime Set to Return with a Sequel

Summary

  • ‘Dorohedoro’ anime will get a sequel as a streaming series.
  • The sequel is expected to adapt the Central Department Store Story Arc from the manga (volumes 12 to 14).
  • The arc focuses on the events after Nikaido’s devil side takes over.

Season 1 of ‘Dorohedoro’ aired on January 12, 2020, and received tremendous appreciation from anime enthusiasts. The anime paints a picture of a post-apocalyptic world with a cultural divide between the ordinary humans who live in “The Hole.”

It’s worth noting that the dark humor in this show may lead you to question your own morality, as you may find yourself entertained by scenes depicting cannibalism, man-slaughter, or, in this case, sorcerer slaughter. 

Fans of the show were disappointed by the lack of announcements since the show’s ending. However, there is good news, as a sequel has been announced, giving us a reason to celebrate.

It was announced that the ‘Dorohedoro’ anime will get a sequel as a streaming series. A key visual was also revealed alongside the announcement.

There has been no official confirmation about what will happen in the upcoming sequel. If the sequel is season 2, we might be lucky enough to get more episodes. The story might continue from where it left off in season 1, revealing more of the dark and sinister past of the characters.

Expect more action, bloodshed, and gore in the upcoming sequel as Caiman and Nikaido continue their mission to find the sorcerer who turned Caiman into a lizardman. This will unravel more mysteries and secrets.

The sequel is expected to adapt the Central Department Store Story Arc from the manga, which covers volumes 12 to 14. The arc focuses on the events after Nikaido’s devil side takes over.

Season 1 covers the first 40 chapters of the manga (167 chapters) and ends with Caiman waking up in the hospital. Upon deciding to go after En and rescue Nikaido, he is joined by Shin, Noi, Kasukabe, and his pet gyoza fairy.

Netflix streamed the previous season, and fans hope the same platform will also stream the upcoming sequel. 

Although there are no announcements about the voice cast and production staff, the ones from the previous season are expected to return. As more information becomes available, we will share it with you soon. Stay tuned for more updates.
