🎎 Ranma ½ Season 2 (2025) on Netflix: Cast, Plot, Release Date & What to Expect from the Martial Arts Comedy Sequel

🎎 Ranma ½: Season 2 – Martial Arts, Mayhem, and More Transformations Coming October 2025 on Netflix!

He’s a boy. She’s a girl. He’s the same person. Welcome back to Nerima.

Get ready for another chaotic, laugh-out-loud season of Ranma ½, as Season 2 of the beloved gender-bending martial arts comedy returns October 2025 on Netflix! The rebooted adaptation by MAPPA has reignited the world’s love for Ranma Saotome and his bizarre, cursed life — and now, the mayhem continues with even more romance, rivalries, and ridiculousness.

Whether you're a longtime fan of Rumiko Takahashi’s iconic manga or just discovered the new anime adaptation, Season 2 is shaping up to be bolder, wilder, and even more heartwarming than ever before.

🌀 Previously on Ranma ½...

For those just joining the madness: Ranma Saotome is a teenage martial artist cursed to turn into a girl whenever he’s splashed with cold water — a fate he shares with his panda-turned-dad, Genma. Now engaged to the fierce and short-tempered Akane Tendo, Ranma juggles martial arts mayhem, high school chaos, and a tangle of romantic entanglements from past and present… all while looking for a way to reverse his curse.

Season 1 of the reboot covered the foundational arcs of the manga, introducing:

• The cursed springs of Jusenkyo

• The awkward arranged engagement with Akane

• Ranma’s school rivalries (hello, Kuno!)

• And cursed competitors like Ryoga/P-chan and Mousse

The series balanced comedy, action, and gender-fluid absurdity — all with stunning animation and nostalgic charm.

📺 What to Expect in Season 2

Season 2 continues with more chaotic characters, new fiancées, and martial arts battles that range from bonkers to brilliant.

Expect arcs adapted from later volumes of the manga, including:

🧠 Happosai’s return – The infamous underwear-stealing grandmaster wreaks more havoc.

🍳 Ukyo Kuonji’s introduction – The okonomiyaki-throwing tomboy chef and childhood fiancée makes her grand debut!

💋 Kodachi “The Black Rose” Kuno – The delusional gymnast joins the romantic circus.

🌀 More Jusenkyo victims – Duck curses, piglet plots, and panda misadventures? All in a day’s work.

🏫 Furinkan High gets even weirder – From battle-happy teachers to eccentric new students, the school’s anything but ordinary.

Season 2 will also deepen the emotional core of the series, exploring Ranma and Akane’s evolving relationship — a love-hate dynamic that continues to frustrate and delight.

🎤 Returning Cast & Crew

The original Japanese voice cast reprises their roles, much to the joy of longtime fans:

• Kappei Yamaguchi as Ranma (male)

• Megumi Hayashibara as Ranma (female)

• Noriko Hidaka as Akane

🎵 New Opening & Ending Themes

While Season 1 rocked with "Iinazukekkyun" by Ano and "Anta Nante" by Riria, new songs are expected for Season 2, continuing the tradition of catchy, character-driven tracks that blend nostalgia with modern flair. Official theme announcements are expected closer to the premiere.

✨ Why This Reboot Matters

The Ranma ½ remake has reignited one of anime’s most iconic legacy titles, introducing new audiences to its genre-bending brilliance. Its mix of comedy, martial arts, romance, and identity exploration — wrapped in slapstick and sincerity — feels more relevant than ever.

From the early days of manga’s Western rise to now dominating global streaming platforms, Ranma ½ has come full circle… and Season 2 proves it still packs a punch.
