The promotional video, intended to remain unlisted on MBS Anime’s official YouTube channel, was discovered and shared via direct links across various forums and social media platforms.
Season 2 is expected to be announced officially after season 1 finale finishes airing later today. Studios often announce sequels during or immediately following a season finale to capitalize on the momentum of the series. Examples include Jujutsu Kaisen, Demon Slayer, and even Attack on Titan.
The goal is to keep fans engaged and talking, ensuring continued interest in the series. That said, leaks like this can sometimes undermine the intended surprise of these announcements, though they rarely have a substantial negative impact on the reception of the news itself.
For those less familiar, Dandadan is based on Yukinobu Tatsu’s manga, serialized on Shonen Jump+ since April 2021. Studio Science SARU picked up the manga for an anime adaptation.
Crunchyroll describes the series as:
When high schooler Momo, from a family of spirit mediums, first meets her classmate Okarun, an occult geek, they argue—Momo believes in ghosts but denies aliens, and Okarun believes in aliens but denies ghosts. When it turns out both phenomena are real, Momo awakens a hidden power and Okarun gains the power of a curse. Together, they must challenge the paranormal forces threatening their world.
