It has been announced that a sequel series to the anime "Dorohedoro," based on the manga by Q Hayashida, will be released in spring 2026. It will be released "almost simultaneously" worldwide. The sequel series was originally scheduled for release in 2025, but will now be released in spring 2026. This will be the first sequel in about six years since the TV anime aired in 2020. Following the previous work, it will be directed by Yuichiro Hayashi and produced by MAPPA.
A new key visual by character designer Tomohiro Kishi has been released. The visual depicts a chaotic worldview, with half of a caiman's body, which has been transformed into a lizard's face by a wizard's magic, with its internal organs fully exposed like a human model, and the wizards' masks hanging from meat hooks.
"Dorohedoro" is a dark fantasy that follows a man who loses his memory after his head is transformed into a lizard by magic, and who tries to regain his true identity and memories. It was serialized in manga magazines such as "IKKI," "HiBANA," and "Gessan" (Shogakukan) from 2000 to 2018. An anime adaptation aired on TV from January to March 2020.
