The series is based on the manga "Dorohedoro" by Q Hayashida, which ran from 2000 for 18 years and garnered immense love throughout its serialization. The story follows Kaiman, a man who lost his memories and was cursed with a lizard head by a sorcerer. Alongside his partner Nikaido, he embarks on a quest to find the sorcerer responsible and reclaim his true face and memories.



With its uniquely chaotic and shocking world, the series gained a devoted fanbase both in Japan and internationally, despite being deemed "impossible to adapt" for many years. However, the anime adaptation aired from January to March 2020, paving the way for this long-awaited sequel.

The newly released second teaser visual showcases storyboards from the sequel, offering a glimpse into the "chaotic" world that fans can look forward to.


Comments from Yuichiro Hayashi

"Thank you all for your patience! The anime 'Dorohedoro' is finally making its return!

This time, it's even more chaotic, anarchic, and slasher-esque than before. We've powered it up significantly! If you haven't seen 'Dorohedoro' yet or think it might seem intimidating, there's still time before the sequel drops! Be sure to watch the previous season and step into this comical and chaotic world!"
