miguitronik said: uninstallthegame said: and what was that last scene supposed to mean? guess the next episode will explain things My guess is that since Hiakkimaru's dad made a deal with the demons to guarantee the prosperity of his lands, as the demons die the protection they granted him weakens and more misfortune befalls him. Also, Hiakkimaru gets back a part of him that was taken by the demons during his birth every time he kills one, like with the skin. Since they are a part of him maybe fragments of his soul also return to him in the process, and that's why the monk looks confused at the air while Hiakkimaru is in pain after recovering a part of him. |

Not sure why they would make it a girl here.Yeah, I realized that like a week ago/and I even read the manga/, I'm pretty bad at this girl and boy thing. I still keep messing up her gender though, since when I first saw her she reminded me of Astro-boy and well... |

| 1. Do you think you were better at his age? 2. He got a very rough life . I do not know if this version will related it, but it would be nice. They spend 1 or 2 episodes telling his stories in the original and boy it is tragic especially how his mom died. I do not want to spoil it, but I am just saying this: you underestimate him. |
| that was adorable, i'm really liking hyakkimaru and dororo's relationship even if it's not one you'd usually see. i'm enjoying this one so far! |

| This series has been great so far I love the story. It would actually work quite well in a modern setting as well. I think Dororo is there to bring a bit of light in all the darkness even if she is annoying at times. |
Y'all have a big problem if you think nothing's wrong with that. |

| Another great episode! It seems like it will be episodic with a new demon every week but have the overarching plot of Dororo and Hyakkimaru's journey. It seems like he'll get a body part back every time he defeats a demon, I'm really curious to know what all he's missing and how he'll adapt to regaining each one. This time it looked like he regained his nervous system, represented by the yellow in his body, which is unfortunate timing for him because of the injuries he sustained during the earlier battle. Here's to hoping he gets his voice back soon! I'm glad Hyakkimaru and the old man reunited, hopefully they'll journey on together. The plot of this episode was predictable but still a great one nonetheless. The fight seemed easy for Hyakkimaru but I feel like the demons will get stronger as they go along or his regained body parts will hinder him in some way until he adapts to it. Either way, I'm looking forward to see what happens next! Also it was sweet to see Hyakkimaru showing concern for Dororo at the end, and funny how he let Dororo lead him around. It seems like he's a pretty good guy, and perhaps not just in it for revenge. |

| I love when people who don't know shit about this series try to start playing moral police, especially with a series that's 50 years old. To the two idiots responding to me, you're wrong. Plain and simple. I won't delve deeper for the sake of not spoiling anyone, but please get off your high horses trying to shame people in regards to material you obviously don't know shit about. It's embarrassing. |
| I'm quite proud of myself that i figured out by the first scene alone that huge head guy isn't a bad guy, he just leads people to having money (maybe only one form of happiness, could have been something else entirely that makes one a happy person). I love the soul theme and how the blind can see it. Now what i wonder: - Hyakkimaru might have gained the nervous system back, how will he go at demons from this point? Surely he will suffer pain from it and can't go all out like that. - Also it will be highly interesting how Hyakkimaru changes from gaining various aspects of his body back, will he eventually not be able to see the soul? |
| Good episode. Its episodic but nice in terms of creepy feel to it. They meet the priest in ep 1. Looking forward for next episode. |
 |
| I'm really liking this show so far. The fight between Hyakkimaru and that monster was animated really well. I also like how colors represent souls. |
| So he ended up getting his nervous system at the end. That explains the reason he felt no pain when he got stabbed by the demon in the fight. The addition of pain, a sensation he has never felt before, could really spice things up a lot. Loved this episode just like the last one. I can't wait for what's to come and the desperation shown in the opening makes me think that it could get pretty dark. |
 |
| really nice of hyakkimaru try to comfort dororo in his way, we didn't see much of his character yet personality-wise, but it made me like him quite a bit more. i'm also excited to see how their friendship is gonna develop. i'm a sucker for healthy support systems, thought i don't know if i'll get it here since this is my first contact with this universe, but i can still hope right? anyways, i'm really satisfied with this so far! |
 |
| honestly this is really nice, I love the premise and it's going along pretty neatly ^^ also, the whole seeing spirits of a certain color thing... I've a very similar idea for some original work I want to do sometime and this gives me some good hints as to how to shape that up :0 |

| This show's looking pretty good, have high hopes for it. I love how they managed to make the little kid actually likable. Kid sidekicks in anime are usually the worst (Berserk's Isidro, Claymore's Raki, etc). Drunken_angel said: Stil a bit confused about the regained body part/organ, though, some people are saying it's the nerve system, so I'm gonna go with that xD. Another proof of it being his nerve system is that when he was fighting the demon he got impaled by one of its arms but kept fighting. Its only at the end, after receiving his nerves back, that the pain comes and hits him hard. That's why he falls to his knees. Imagine if the first feeling you ever felt in your life was the pain of a fist-sized hole through your shoulder. |

| This has potential to be the best show of the season imo, great ending theme as well |

Really, this guy's story is one of the more tragic ones out there . . . but also kind of badass xD I'm eager to see what happens when he regains his basic human senses - sight, hearing, speaking, smell. Will he be able to speak at all, I mean, has he ever even heard someone's voice before?? Though he can read and write, so wonder how he learned that... So many questions, I'm very hyped for this show ! |

I wouldnt give 2 fucks if romance or warever was the case, but the problem is that you actualy see some sort of romantic relationship going on alredy. No brah, there isnt, stop trying to ship stuff that dosent make sense, please. |
| Amazing shit right here. In all departments. |
| oh shit he really is becoming "human" with each episode can't wait till he gets his voice so we don't have to listen to this brat the whole time. good episode little on the slow side but helped explain stuff to the viewer ,was hoping bandai would turn it a spider just because of the dots on her head lol. |
 |
| In this episode we can see how their relationship forms little by little, and that is one of things I like the most (aside from the stunning animation and the dense/dark atmosphere). |
 |
| This show kicks serious ass. Also, spoiling a manga that came out in the 60s? You people spoil everything. |

I was defending someone else who said it because a bunch of children got triggered over the aspect. I personally didn't say anything about it, but way to make yourself look like a complete idiot. Next time learn to read. |
| How ironic that those with sight can be the blindest. |
 "There are three things you can never get back: The word after it's said, the moment after it's missed, and the time after it's gone." -Koe no Katachi  |
| My only problem with this show is that it's going to fast for my own taste. I personally dislike fast paced series so this moving at the speed it is its kind of annoying. Still pretty good though. But just slow down MAPPA pls. |
| I really too like Dororo thought the monster was that giant head guy. I hope he haunts them for eternity for what they've done to him and the other traveler's. What sickened me the most was that they were still protecting that evil spirit and were saddened that it vanished. That was a badass slash by that guy, his skills are impressive I wonder where did he learn them. I'm also glad they explained how he sees, this show is very very good so far. Makes me hype for the next episode. |

| God, this show is so good. |
 |
| Interesting how this time he got his nervous system back =o Kinda cool how his recovery isn't only limited to his organs Great episode overall though, I like the old man a lot already and Dororo and Hyakkimaru are growing on me fast, also it's nice to learn exactly how he sees his targets from friendly people |

| Hyakkimaru is a character I never knew I wished to see. He's so cool and the concept itself is very interesting. |
