Based on the acclaimed manga by Q Hayashida, the first season of Dorohedoro captivated audiences with its distinct art style and compelling story.

For those unfamiliar with the bizarre and brutal world of Dorohedoro, Viz Manga publishes the official English version of the manga, describing the story as follows:
In a grim metropolis, aptly named “the Hole,” sinister Sorcerers abduct ordinary people for their cruel magical experiments. Amidst this chaos, Nikaido discovers Caiman, a man with a reptilian head and no memory of his past. Their quest for answers leads them on a perilous hunt for Sorcerers within the Hole, believing that eliminating the right one will break Caiman’s curse. However, when En, the formidable head Sorcerer, learns of a mysterious lizard-headed killer targeting his kind, he dispatches an elite team of “cleaners” into the Hole, sparking an all-out war between these two disparate worlds.
Prepare to dive back into the strange and violent saga of Caiman and Nikaido as Dorohedoro returns in Spring 2026!
