The season finale of Dorohedoro Season 2 ends on what the reviewer calls a cruel cliffhanger, but the sting is softened by an immediate announcement of a third season. The review notes that the adaptation has covered 13 of the manga's 23 volumes, putting it roughly halfway through the story by chapter count. The reviewer takes the early renewal as a sign that the producers intend to finish the series, possibly with a fourth season to adapt the remaining material. The episode itself is described as a low-key finale that showcases the series' strengths: family bonding among the Cross-Eyes, a short but well-choreographed fight between Nikaido and Tetsujo, and the introduction of industrialized sex-change magic via Nikaido's and Asu's transformations. The reviewer praises the season's fight direction and animation, calling the action easy to follow and dynamically paced.
