Dandadan Season 2 plot and other details

Based on the hit shounen manga by Tatsu Yukinobu, Dandadan’s second season will pick up where Season 1 left off. With Okarun and Jiji discovering the menacing hidden room in Jiji’s house, the people of the village appear to become a larger threat than what they seem. And with Momo separated from the rest, how will the gang come together to solve this mystery? 

But there’s more to this series of events that meet the eye, as Jiji’s connection with what could be a malevolent spirit may spell certain doom!

Season 1 is currently available to view on Netflix, which describes the plot as:

In a bet to prove whether ghosts or aliens exist, two high schoolers face terrifying paranormal threats, gain superpowers–and maybe even fall in love.
