The music video for the ending theme of the second season of the anime »Dorohedoro« has been released. The song titled »Return to Head« (Japanese: Return トゥ 頭) comes from the creative group (K)NoWNAME, who also contributed the music for the first season.
The video picks up on central motifs of the second season: Kaiman's search for his true face, his memory loss, and the nightmare visions that haunt him. The imagery alternates between bright, almost psychedelic colors and dark, horror-like scenes, while always maintaining the series' typical darkly humorous tone.
The second season started on April 1, 2026, with a worldwide simulcast and is being streamed on platforms including Netflix and Crunchyroll. Production remains in the hands of Studio MAPPA, with direction once again by Yuichiro Hayashi (»Attack on Titan: The Final Season«). The opening theme »Zettai Must Danmen« is also performed by (K)NoWNAME.
Even before the start of the second season, a third season was announced, further fueling fans' anticipation. The series is based on the manga of the same name by Q Hayashida, which ran from 2000 to 2018 in the magazines Monthly Ikki, Hibana, and Gessan (Shogakukan) and was completed in 23 volumes.
The story follows the amnesiac Kaiman, whose head was transformed into a lizard's head by a curse. Together with his friend Nikaido, he hunts wizards to regain his true face and memories.
