đ Ranma ½: Season 2 â Martial Arts, Mayhem, and More Transformations Coming October 2025 on Netflix!
Heâs a boy. Sheâs a girl. Heâs 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 worldâs love for Ranma Saotome and his bizarre, cursed life â and now, the mayhem continues with even more romance, rivalries, and ridiculousness.
Whether you're a longtime fan of Rumiko Takahashiâs 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.
đ Previously on Ranma ½...
For those just joining the madness: Ranma Saotome is a teenage martial artist cursed to turn into a girl whenever heâs splashed with cold water â 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
Ranmaâs school rivalries (hello, Kuno!)
And cursed competitors like Ryoga/P-chan and Mousse
The series balanced comedy, action, and gender-fluid absurdity â all with stunning animation and nostalgic charm.
đş What to Expect in Season 2
Season 2 continues with more chaotic characters, new fiancĂŠes, and martial arts battles that range from bonkers to brilliant.
Expect arcs adapted from later volumes of the manga, including:
đ§ Happosaiâs return â The infamous underwear-stealing grandmaster wreaks more havoc.
đł Ukyo Kuonjiâs introduction â The okonomiyaki-throwing tomboy chef and childhood fiancĂŠe makes her grand debut!
đ Kodachi âThe Black Roseâ Kuno â The delusional gymnast joins the romantic circus.
đ More Jusenkyo victims â Duck curses, piglet plots, and panda misadventures? All in a dayâs work.
đŤ Furinkan High gets even weirder â From battle-happy teachers to eccentric new students, the schoolâs anything but ordinary.
Season 2 will also deepen the emotional core of the series, exploring Ranma and Akaneâs evolving relationship â a love-hate dynamic that continues to frustrate and delight.
