| So the demon died, but it seems so did the goddess that the wife was praying to. Because she gave up on it, and it split down the middle the same way the fox and other demon statues did when hyakkimaru defeated them and broke the contracts. I'm worried this means Hyakkimaru has lost protection from it, I mean, did you see the way the old guy looked at the little statue and then at Hyakkimaru in concern at the end? Anyways, awesome ep. |

TigersAndDragons said: Tbh I think it's gonna turn out like this: The demons weren't making the land prosper, the 'Goddess of Mercy' was, all the demons did was take enough energy from Hyakki's parts to manifest in the world and eat the fuck out of people, and with the death of Oku, the Goddess' greatest believer, and yet another sacrifice, her power was consumed, Banmon was destroyed, and the 'prosperity' Daigo is so proud of is fucked. Also Taro better not have to fight Hyakki again, because we all know he'll die and we'll all be sad again. That's a really good theory. I thought something close to that. At the first episode, I think the demons are about to kill Hyakkimaru from the beginning but the Goddess saved him. And she didn't do only that, probably it's her fault he was able to live in such poor conditions like living without skin supporting all the pain. Also, in this last episode we saw people who believe the demons are reponsible for the land prosperity and people who believe it's because of the Goddess protection. So they pointed it's an option. Her aura was gone after his mother suicide attempt but also after everyone in the village, including all his family, doomed him to death. Maybe it's one reason or another or both. I suppose the village will suffer more now without the Goddess there. Let's see... Can't wait the next episode! |

Swagernator said: I'm not gonna say that i like what Hyakkimaru's father did to him, but i understand it, same as i understand the decision his brother made or even his own mother. At least the ending was happy, the little boy found his mom. This show continues to deliver. Exactly my thoughts. I really sympathize with Tahomaro since the start of the series but I knew he would fight Hyakkimaru, it's on the opening also. Very predictable rivalry but I couldn't think what should led him to do that. Taho looked like a nice boy. Well, I can understand his reasons but I really wanted they could be good brothers (he wanted too but he had to make a choice and he did). Sadly, I have almost no hope for a happy ending to Tahomaru, it doesn't feel like it'll be. But there was something happy (at least for a moment) in all of that, Hyakkimaru's smile when he realized he met his mother. So cute <3 |

| I find it incredibly sad how Hyakkimaru didn’t once show any hate or anger towards his family. He was just confused and curious the whole damn time. And then when he’s finally reunited with his mother, the one family member that actually loves and wants the best for him she ends up killing herself as if that would make him happy. He didn’t get to have even a single conversation with her. But what really pisses me off is how both his father and Bro dear to actually accuse him of causing their suffering!? Y’all took the easy way out. Life is suffering. Why must only one suffer for the whole? Everyone should work towards a proper solution instead of relying on crazy unreliable demons. I knew Tahomaru would take his fathers side but I’m still sad. I still like him tho.

It would explain why there even are demons Hyakkun can even go around to kill to get his body back. I mean if Daigo sealed them with his sons sacrifice why are demons plaguing the place still? |

| I really feld the death of Hyakkimaru's mother,I even cryed a bit, because she had in some part the foul but not at all...She seemed to love Hyakkimaru as his child even since that day. Now I have a lot of doubts about the statue at the end and its meaning(??? I hope really good things to the second part and a good OP and ED because I truly loved the previous ones. Sad wont come out another episode for the next week...but it's fine to get more anxious the public. |

| I feel bad for Hyakkimaru's mother. She didn't want this. Never expected for Tohomaru to turn against his brother. I like the morally gray area here. The whole stuff about the kid and her mom feels so forced. Suddenly, he is going to be executed but nothing happened lol. Also, her mom showing up just like that -.- |

| My heart is aching for poor Hyakkimaru. He is physically disabled, fighting for his life and trying to figure out the world around him and now I'm sure the entire nation under Daigo will villainize him and there will probably be a bounty on his head. His mom was praying for him this entire time and now that protection is gone. His mother even gave up on him. :( I wonder if the blind old man is going to take over and find a way to protect him? Also, I always thought this but Daigo did make a deal with DEMONS. I am sure even if Hyakki die from the very beginning, they would still want more sacrifices or want more than the sacrifice of just one mere baby. They are demons after all. Like that one serpent demon back in Episode 8 that required regular sacrifices. At least Hyakki can count on Dororo's love. I wonder how old Dororo is and if she, when she grows up, can be Dororo's lover/wife? They can start a family together, away from Daigo, Tahomaru and everyone else. |

| TBH, pacing sucked hard in this episode. |
nightcrawlercyp said: Daniel_Naumov said: rewatch the episode, is clear she agreed with the deed in the beginning at least.I am sorry I might have been paying not enough attention, but when did the mother renounce him? She ascertained everyone that they are living on the sacrifice of her child (and Daigo's humanity, to certain extent). She did not take her own life because she wanted to keep living under false "utopia". She tried to atone for not being able to protect her son since that literally never happened. There is a lot of delusions going on. I don't know what you mean. I rewatched the first episode to see if I'm forgetting something. The mom doesn't even seem to know about the deal at that point. She is praying to the goddess of mercy while in labour, Hyakkimaru is born healthy then the lightning strikes and takes all his parts away, but not killing him presumably because of the statue. Then Daigo walks in being happy about receiving a "heir" showing to me that at that point even he doesn't know that's the price the demons have decided on. Daigo sees the baby, realizes the deal has gone through and is happy about it. Hyakkimaru is taken away by force (I assume the context is that everyone knows babies born deformed are drowned as the midwife says she has done it before) even though Oku says she loves him regardless and begs for him to be left to pass away in her arms. I'm writing all this bull assuming you meant "rewatch the first episode", but now that I think about it that may not have been the case. But I still don't agree that she agreed with it in the beginning. If anything she seems to have come to terms with it afterwards (assuming the baby died) and then kills herself out of guilt for being unable to protect him as she says. But I do think her attitude about Hyakkimaru having to suffer for the greater good was shitty and I saw it as a heel turn. |

| I don't know how to feel about it really. I mean what Daigo did wasn't wrong. He fulfilled his duty as a lord. Also Tahoumaru supporting his father doesn't feel wrong either. Hyakkimaru's mother stabbed herself with a knife. What happened afterward still remains blurry. I'm anticipating a new opening and ending theme song next week. I hope there will be one. |
 |
| Damn, the party is over indeed. Daigo sure is a piece of shit but I can understand his reasons at certain extent. It's basically the dilemma of killing one to save many but I still think he made the pact due to his ambition for power rather than wanting to help his people... I also feel bad for Tahomaru and his mother... having to deal with Daigo's bullshit must be a nightmare, especially for Tahomaru who didn't know he even had a brother and now, his father put him in the difficult position of being Hyakkimaru's enemy for the sake of the village... man, what an unfortunate fate these kids will have to face. Overall, it was a very good episode. Let's see what the second cour has to offer. P.S.: I'm already missing this OP and ED, being honest. |
| It's easily seen that, after Hyakkimaru's sacrifice to the Demons, the prosperity Daigo requested was given right away. Demons gave that to him but with a sacrifice in exchange. Due to the fact that it was said that one of the Demons failed to eat Hyakkimaru, it explains the protection of the Goddess of Mercy when he was born and Demon's posteriorly unsatisfactory behavior. Also, it was noticed that everytime Hyakkimaru defeated a demon a statue would break and the land started to have more and more environmental and politician issues. Demons are evil Gods, so it's possible for them to give you the dream and paradise you desire IF you give them something in return. They love to control humanity by their desires. As for Hyakkimaru's brother thing, she's one of the greatest believers of the Goddess of Mercy. So maybe her faith and power (remember that this is a fantasy story) activated some kind of higher protection. She couldn't save her son but once she discovered he was alive, at least wanted to give some protection to him through her sacrifice. This is what I believe! |
| Such a satisfying episode! a lot of events have been unfolded! 5/5. |
 |
| Great episode. Can't wait for the next. |
 |
| I wonder if things would've been more interesting if Daigo actually had sacrificed Hyakkimaru for his people xD if he actually cared. |
nightcrawlercyp said: Atavistic said: Not really. They almost wrote themselves into a corner with the changes n episode 1 and 10 and now they had to rewrite this whole story in this weird way just to make what comes next makes some sort of sense. But since Tahomaru is still alive this still has problems.Great episode, I really like that they've at least tried to present some decent justification for what Daigo did, even if it is ultimately and undeniably wrong. I'm a little sad that Tahomaru has chosen to fight Hyakkimaru now (and it feels like his change of heart to that was kinda rushed), but I suppose it makes sense for the wider narrative. If you're suggesting Tahomaru should be dead then I would appreciate it if you just kept it to yourself. BTW - I love the story. So is it better than the manga? I really don't care. |
modboy said: Yes, Tahomaru shoukd be dead for some of the events next to make sense. Now they have to re-write a lot more. I did not read the manga just saw tge original anime. Except for trying to make the two seem more ambiguous they try to keep faithful to the material and even if they rush through the stories not much is loss. So except for this one fact is still a good story. But I am unsure how thry will fix the turd they did with the two. I hope they will manage to fix the story somehow but I have my doubts.nightcrawlercyp said: Not really.

| Another good episode! And just when I'm starting to like Tahomaru >.> PS. Anyway, I got hyped when I saw the PV for the 2nd cour Hyakki is starting to utter more words LOL!!! |
  |
| I'm so angry it's probably illegal. BUT DAMN the preview for the next part is so good, I'm super looking forward to the ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION song!!! |
| So, that's why Tahomaru still had his eyes... How obvious. Well, he couldn't die after being transformed so well for this new series, could he? At least, he lost his innocence, it's something. I love how Daigo is accused to have his ambition as sole reason behind the deal and yet the whole series has been remade in favour of him doing it for the greater good. The Banmon itself really wasn't inspiring for the (re)writers, a pity to see. Also, Sukeroku living and reuniting with his mom felt so out of sync with the rest of the episode. 2/5 Seeing how the series focuses its attention on the bodhisattva Kanzenon, I guess it will be used as excuse to allow many rectifications/deviations. @nightcrawlercyp You see? XD This series isn't trying to be faithful, they're just doing their own thing, recycling the starting point and basic events. If the director had been able to inject his own vision and themes in it, it would be a great adaptation. Too bad he's doing the minimum instead: implementing the common "moral villain" to make it more emotional/entertaining. |

| The emotions were so heavy this episode. It was brilliant. Surely one of the best Artistic and Emotional animes ever made. |
 |
| There's no black or white, that's what I love about this series. Coupled with the engaging plot and well-rounded characters, its a great anime. |

| Tahomaru simply picked the lives of over 1000 in his country over the life of his brother. |

| What an episode! I feel bad for Hyakkimaru, even his mother "betrayed" him :( That sucks... but he never needed her to survive so he won't need her now. But when she stabbed herself (i assume she died), a green spirit was set free so i assume that she was one of the demons but a good one? Still, great episode! P.S Sorry Tahou but you don't even stand a chance against your older brother xD |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| Well of course Daigo is gonna manipulate Tahomaru to join his side and as much as I was hoping he’d fight with Hyakkimaru:/ I didn’t wanna see the two fight each other. Tahomaru truly wants what’s best for his people and in the end decided the best way to protect them was to fight against Hyakkimaru. And man..that poor mom, she really loves her son. She didn’t hesitate in trying to take her own life for his sake. Hyakkimaru May have a lot of family problems but at least Dororo will always be at his side ❤️ |
