Dorohedoro, the story of the reptile-human hybrid Caiman, derived from manga artist Q Hayashida in 2000. 20 years later, it was adapted into a widely popular anime series by MAPPA, the studio behind Yuri!!! on Ice, Jujutsu Kaisen, Chainsaw Man, and more. Its first season consisted of 12 episodes released from January to March 2020, but it was never renewed for a second season.
Four years on, fans’ hopes have finally been answered. Here’s what we know.
What is Dorohedoro about?
Caiman, a reptilian man, lost both his memories and his human attributes to the magic of a powerful sorcerer. He dedicated his time to hunting down the man responsible for his transformation, assisted by his friend Nikaido. Whenever Caiman attacks a sorcerer and places their head in his mouth, the full-sized man living inside his gullet will emerge and declare them guilty or not guilty.
Two months after the first season ended, Dorohedoro was released on Netflix.
Is there going to be a season 2 of Dorohedoro?
At the time of writing, Dorohedoro has officially been renewed for a second season, much to the absolute delight of fans everywhere. With Netflix owning the international streaming rights for several anime, it’s understandable that fans were growing concerned for the anime’s future, but it now appears that all is well in this anime universe, with the series set to return in glory.
As of right now, there’s no telling when exactly we’ll be getting Dorohedoro season 2, but it’s definitely great news to learn that its future is still bright. And while it once looked as though Dorohedoro had been put on the back burner for other anime such as Attack on Titan, folks can happily rest their worries and look forward to the show’s long-awaited return.
Of course, other popular anime such as Chainsaw Man has been at the forefront of fans’ minds over the past few years, but Dorohedoro making its comeback is undoubtedly the news that anime fans have yearned to hear for four long years now.
