On Tuesday, August 6, 2024, the opening and ending theme songs and visual sequences for the upcoming Dandadan anime series were allegedly leaked on the social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter). While the original source of these leaks remains unclear at the time of writing, the content has been widely shared and reposted by many users on the platform.
The legitimacy of these leaks is bolstered by the presence of Science SARU’s branding and credits, along with various labels and pieces of text that appear to be production-related. Additionally, those who attended the Dandadan anime world premiere at Anime Expo 2024 in early July have corroborated that the leaked themes match what they saw during the event.

Will Rising Impact Return for a Third Season? Latest Updates and Fan Theories!
As anticipation builds for Dandadan anime’s worldwide premiere on Netflix in October 2024, the excitement has been heightened by these leaks of the theme songs. There are also unverified claims that the entire first episode has leaked online, although it has not surfaced on X as of yet. The leaked opening sequence does feature a brief glimpse of the episode once the theme song and visual sequence conclude, adding to the speculation.
Despite the apparent authenticity of the leaks, there is still uncertainty about whether these sequences will be the same when the series officially premieres in October. The production team might decide to alter the visual sequences in response to the leaks, although this is not guaranteed. Given the high level of excitement and hype surrounding the television adaptation of Yukinobu Tatsu’s original manga, such changes remain a possibility.
The opening sequence is vibrant and colorful, focusing on central characters such as Momo Ayase, Ken “Okarun” Takakura, Aira Shiratori, Jin Enjoji, and Seiko Ayase. Additionally, supporting characters like Mr. Mantis Shrimp, Turbo Granny, and the Serpo aliens make appearances. The ending sequence primarily highlights Turbo Granny, depicting her in various adventures in the form fans will recognize throughout much of the anime series.

The alleged leaks also seem to confirm earlier reports about the series’ opening theme song. The hip-hop duo Creepy Nuts can be heard performing their new song “Otonoke” in the leaked opening. While the ending theme had not been previously announced, the leak suggests that the ending theme is “TAIDADA” by ZUTOMAYO.
Tatsu’s original manga series began serialization on Shueisha’s digital Shonen Jump+ platform in April 2021 and continues to be regularly serialized. The manga is currently on a one-month hiatus as Tatsu conducts research for the next arc, with plans to return in early September 2024.
The Dandadan anime, with its unique blend of supernatural and comedic elements, has been highly anticipated by fans of the manga. The series follows the adventures of Momo Ayase and Ken Takakura, who find themselves entangled with spirits, aliens, and other bizarre phenomena. The colorful and energetic visual style, combined with the engaging storylines, has made the manga a favorite among readers, raising expectations for the anime adaptation.
