I'm so glad that we got a happy ending, I love those type of stories and seeing all concluding in a positive way with some lessons learned at the same time was beautiful.

A heartwarming episode is so appreciated after last week, sure it was filler (under the assumption those 2 dont return at least) but it was entertaining and heartfelt, and thats really all that matters.

ayyyy i knew she sounded familiar too, ironically kills less people as a monster in a super serious dark fantasy show than she does in a gag manga with only occassional serious arcs.

A relieving change of mood after the last two episodes. Seems like we got a new happy couple ♡
Hopefully the guy Yajiro survives, I don't want to imagine how Ohagi would react if he dies from the injuries.

Mmmh...

After the episode some idle thoughts are passing by my mind..

...thoughts about some organs' location in the body, different possibilities depending how we split legs and arms in pairs for an amount of eight, positions that may offer some possibilities of balance, the use of raw silk as bondage ropes...

...you know; that sort of things.

I guess Yajiro is getting similar idle thoughs.

I would bet on it.

And this episode we take a trip to Australia, where the big bad spiders are.

On a more serious note, I enjoy how most things are grey in this show. The only consistent bad thing is the abuse of the common class by feudal lords and their samurai, although that is just the nature of the time.

What did Dororo mean about Hyakkimaru getting his hearing back?

Not clear to me either. As if he lost his hearing again after Mio was killed? Quite hard to follow really.


It wasn't what the line meant, could be lost in translation but Dororo was glad that hearing was one of the things that Hyakkimaru recovered. Because before his hearing all he could see was other's souls, now he could be more understanding. Without hearing, he would've just went to town on Ohagi with no clue of what her intentions were.

Nice episode

I wiil not ignore that chapther 7 forget almost everything about Mio. I thought this chapter will show us the pain of Hyakkimaru and Dororo, but no :(

Even with that, I loved the episode, the relashionship between the Ayakashi and the human was (some predictable) amazing.

Firstly, Dororo is super cute!

I enjoyed this ep quite much even though our protagonists weren't that much involved compared to the previous eps.
Also I'm a bit surprised that there's a happy ending for the couple. Cuz there seemed to be flags everywhere that it's not gonna end up well.

Really sweet love story between a monster and a man...I think a pure kindness can really change even a monster too. Good thing that Hyakkimaru slow but sure is developing into a real human, now he can hear too so he can make a wise judgment, not only aura-based. Honestly, I really want Mio to join their adventure, at least...

Oh ok, thanks for explaining.
I found out that the original anime had 50 episodes, so that's why i thought that 48 demons made sense, so i thought he had lost 48 parts.
So, this remake will only be 12 eps long?

48 demons were from the original manga. I guess Tezuka intended to make one year series in the manga.

btw, the trasnlated words like demon or ghoul make it coufusing.
鬼神/kishin, 妖怪/youkai, 妖/ayakashi, and 化物/bakemono (mononoke is one of those words). Any of them doesn't necessarily means "evil".
鬼神/kishin just means savage gods.
As the Hall of Hell worshipped them, they're sometimes guardian spirits of Buddhism.
In the manga, Bandai said that she is a thousand old yaksa. Some noble ghosts became mononoke in those days and Bandai's outfit shows that kind background too.
Kishin, youkai, and mononoke sometimes show their violence but that is not necessarily evil.
They were villains in this story but we need to remember that the boundary was so vague in the original folktales.
The statue that saved Hyakkimaru is originally a Hindu goddess too.

Well, I guess after Mio's little arc, it was a bit pleasant to see that this episode concluded in a somewhat happy note.

Unfortunately, my problem with this episode was that I think the relationship between Yajiro and the Jorogumo felt rushed as hell and as a result, their story didn't caught my interest at all. I mean, in just a couple of days and some few simple words, he could manage to change her point of view regarding humans... I don't know, maybe it would have worked better as a 2-parts episode so they could have received more development but being honest, this episode didn't really give any real progression to the main plot either so I'm not really sure why they included this story after all but well.

Other than that, it was still an interesting episode but definitely my least favorite one.

Loved how they portrayed that Youkai and Human can coexist and the struggle that comes with it in this episode. We also got to see Hyakkimaru's first laugh even if it's a snort or "nose laugh" that means he's teasing Dororo, Wholesome moment.

This was a surprisingly sweet episode. It was definitely needed after the last one.

We meet a spider ghoul who appears to be draining the life out of humans after kidnapping them from the nearby village.
After being attacked by Hyakkimaru, she weakens and goes into hiding in said village. There, she falls in love with a man who believes all life is precious.

Turns out she wasn’t as bad as she seemed. She never killed her prey and she wasn’t taking the villagers away. Instead it was her male companion helping people escape the oppressive village that was just about working everyone to death.

Hyakkimaru and Dororo come to understand the ghoul and allow her to escape with her man. So a happy end for them. Yay.

What I loved most about this episode was the fact that Hyakkimaru actually laughed. Or snickered really. Either way it was super adorable.

I don't think that every deamon the glows red is a deamon that he needs to kill. I think the deamon is the providence are stronger because of the sacrifice. There aren't "12 bosses to beat", he just just needs to kill 12 to get his bits back. When he was a kid he killed deamon and didn't get anything much back. I haven't read the manga so that's just my theory.

i can't believe i already watched up to the airing status... this anime is so good :/ now i'm gonna have to wait like all of the rest of ya'll.

the episode was a little predictable as i had read a japanese story/folktale that was similar to the contents of this one, where the guy and a monster falls in love. still enjoyable, though i did want some main plot in this instead of a filler-esque short

Good episode, maybe it was just the translations but why did he never even get weirded out by here when she always referred to humans as if she weren't one and that she was looking for small prey in the village lmao.

Considering that the original Dororo anime featured 48 monsters for Hyakkimaru to regain his natural body, there should not be a problem for modern Hyakkimaru to find only 12 monsters to fulfill the task. In any case, this episode featuring a monster Hyakkimaru did not have to kill is a nice break from the spree of monster killings.

On the other hand, its very sad characters like Mio and Ohagi still don't have a profile in the character page. Such a waste, this is totally going to affect their popularity in the long run.

Fantastic episode. Pleasantly surprised by the happy ending, considering the last couple of episodes and the tone of this series in general. I half-expected the spider woman to die, the man, or even both of them

I hope that guy and his spider waifu have a happy life together.

At first I was wondering if the spider youkai's soul would appear non hostile to him or not since she doesn't exactly kill humans. Rather she feeds off of them just as he eats lesser wildlife to survive. Was nice to see him let her go.
