Dorohedoro Anime’s 6th Anniversary Teases A Possible First Teaser
Will Dorohedoro Season 2 finally get a teaser after a year of waiting?
On January 13, 2026, it was announced that Dorohedoro will have a screening event of Season 1 to celebrate the production decision to launch Season 2.
As Dorohedoro Season 2 is set to be released in Spring 2026 (April), we will likely get a trailer after years without a proper teaser for the sequel.
First confirmed on January 9, 2024 during the anime’s 4th anniversary, fans have waited on a supposed 2025 release before it was announced to be moved to Quarter 2 of 2026.
Yuichiro Hayashi, the original series director, is slated to return to handle the show alongside most of the original staff, including character designer, Tomohiro Kishi.
Both were also director anc character designer respectively for the Final Season of Attack on Titan, also produced by MAPPA.
About Dorohedoro
Dorohedoro was a manga written and illustrated by Q Hayashida from November 30, 2000 to September 12, 2018 across three Shogakukan magazines, Monthly Ikki, Hibana, and Monthly Shōnen Sunday.
The series reached 23 volumes.
The manga would be adapted into an anime produced by MAPPA (Attack on Titan: The Final Season, Jujutsu Kaisen, Chainsaw Man) directed by Yuichiro Hayashi (Garo: The Vanishing, Attack on Titan: The Final Season) on January 12, 2025 to March 29, 2020.
Season 1 was comprised of 12 episodes and six 5-minute-long original video animation (OVA) episodes bundled with the series’ second Blu-ray release on June 17, 2020.
The series was notable for having 6 ending songs from the same band, ((K)now Name), which also handled the soundtrack.
Dorohedoro is set in a bleak world called the Hole, where humans are targeted by Sorcerers for target practice and one of these humans, Caiman, is cursed for having a giant lizard head. Together with his friend, a gyoza shop owner named Nikaido, Caiman hunts down the sorcerers responsible for his curse.
