Dead Dead Demon's Dededede Destruction (Japanese: デッドデッドデーモンズデデデデデストラクション, Hepburn: Deddo Deddo Dēmonzu Dededede Desutorakushon), also abbreviated as DDDD, is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Inio Asano. It was serialized in Shogakukan's seinen manga magazine Big Comic Spirits from April 2014 to February 2022, with its chapters collected in 12 tankōbon volumes. Viz Media licensed the manga for English release in North America. The story follows two high school students struggling with the mundanity of life after an alien spaceship appears over Japan.

A two-part anime film adaptation produced by Production +h. premiered its first part in March 2024, with the second part premiering in May of the same year. An 18-episode original net animation (ONA) series edition of the films streamed worldwide on Crunchyroll from May to September 2024.

By March 2022, Dead Dead Demon's Dededede Destruction had over 3 million copies in circulation. In 2021, the manga won the 66th Shogakukan Manga Award in the general category, as well as the Excellence Award of the 25th Japan Media Arts Festival in 2022.

Plot

Three years before the events of the story, on August 31, an alien spaceship appeared over Tokyo. Although it has not attacked, the Japanese government, seeing it as a potential threat, unsuccessfully tries to destroy it. The situation leads to a cold war between the humans on Earth and the invaders in the mothership above the Tokyo skyline. There is further conflict between political groups who want to eliminate the aliens, called "warctopuses," and those who want to negotiate peace, called "peacesquids." Despite the tense and precarious state of the world, high school students Koyama Kadode and Nakagawa Ouran live their lives with some semblance of normalcy. The focus of the story is not on the alien invasion but on human nature and growing up in a turbulent and uncertain world.

Anime

In March 2022, it was announced that the series would receive an anime adaptation produced by Production +h.[53] It was later confirmed to be a two-part film adaptation directed by Tomoyuki Kurokawa, with a screenplay by Reiko Yoshida, character designs and chief animation direction by Nobutaka Ito, and music composed by Taro Umebayashi.[54][55] The first part premiered in Japanese theaters on March 22, 2024.[4] The second part was originally scheduled for April 19, but was later delayed to May 24 to improve the film's quality.[56] The first part features the theme song "ZeZeZeZettai Seiiki" (絶絶絶絶対聖域, lit.'Abababab Absolute Sanctuary'), performed by Ano [ja] feat. Lilas Ikuta, while the second part features the theme song "Seishun Ōka" (青春謳歌, lit.'Adolescence Hymn'), performed by Lilas Ikuta feat. Ano.[57][58]

An 18-episode original net animation (ONA) series edition of the films streamed worldwide on Crunchyroll from May 24 to September 20, 2024, featuring new footage not included in the theatrical release.[59] The opening song is "Shinsekai Yori" (SHINSEKAIより, lit.'From the New World'), performed by Ano and Lilas Ikuta (used as an ending song for episode 0), while the ending song is the film's first part theme song "ZeZeZeZettai Seiiki" for episodes 1-8, and the second part theme song "Seishun Ohka" for episodes 9-17.
