So does anyone else besides me no longer feel sorry for what happened to Mio?

I only read the first few replies.

Not really, I kind of knew she was going to die, there were flags set up everywhere and her working for 2 people on opposing ends is pretty dumb, her death was pretty sad tho, it just didn't impact me that much.

Plus, she only appeared for about 10 minutes over 2 episodes. While there are characters like these that I like (spoilers:

) Mio didn't really leave much of an impression

My God, there are some spoilt, small minded and entitled pricks on here. Half of you have probably never had to struggle for anything in your lives and yet people are saying she should get another job, she shouldn't work for both sides or get the children involved. It's a war zone and she's the only one bringing in money to feed those kids. Some of the comments about her are ridiculous.

Bunch of virgins in this post , at least that’s the energy going off. The selling point of this thread is that she caused the soldiers to be suspicious and therefore doesn’t deserve sympathy . Weird statement . Weirder way to look at it as you watch the soldiers joyously slaughter the kids . The intent you were supposed to come away with was that she put her body on the line every night , she fought her fight. So to go fuck her that’s dumb,she shouldn’t of did that . Very weird. Because i bet you weren’t saying hyakkimaru that’s dumb , don’t fight those demons. Next the soldiers said she came and did lewd acts . They were very aware she was not a spy . They were at a statement and bored. They saw a whore going between the camps and their pride was hurt. They just wanted to kill . So yes it’s a very sad situation that she had to let groups of men ravage her trying to make a better life only for that to bite her in the ass

For all the people calling her a "whore".... really? A teenage orphan girl in a country plagued by war, starvation, death and many other tragedies you can think of, trying to make a living not even for her, but for the crippled children she's taking care of? Like seriously? She's acutally a hero, she completely ignored her own self just for the sake of the children - thus her "soul" Hyakki saw was "pure". It's kinda easy to judge her as a "whore" coming from a place and TIMES of privilige... you can watch anime online, eating as many takeaways as you wish, ranting at the same time about a poor girl in a war-striken country being a prostitue. A top of that - she was still a kid herself, she couldn't have known any "better". She took any job she believed she could have, just for the children. I loved Mio, and her being a prostitue made me love her even more and even though she was given like only 10 minutes - I felt sad about her till the end of the show.

And to all the people saying she as a character was "destroyed" for being a prostitute and that she'd be far better off by joining Hakki & Dororo and becoming a love interest for Hyakki.... really? Like it would be the most "obvious", boring and UNREAL thing ever. THAT would destroy the character. She's been given a depth, forcing you to think about the concept of what makes a choice good/bad and where's the line between "good/evil" and IF the line even exists. Instead of becoming a blunt, boring character who's only role was to be Hyakkimaru's love interest, she's become something much more - she brought reality to the show. Because reality is sometimes "dirty" even though it may seem sweet outside. Nothing is just plain black/white in real life. Life comes in grays - and that's what Mio has shown us.

On top of that, she also brought some humanity into Hyakkis character, making him evolve in terms of feelings. AND she became a symbol and motivation for both Hyakki and Dororo.

I dunno, but for me, she was a great character, especially that she's been given like 10 min of screen time. I'm glad she was so, so, so much more then yet another pretty, sweet, UNREALISTIC anime girl.

Honestly, you're right there. She had a great design and I was about to love her until they pulled that prostitute and then death shit on her. And just like that, her character felt flat to me.
If they removed all that and had her travel with them and Hyakkimaru, I feel that would've been a much more enjoyable story to see than just doing what they did with her

The night job element rly added to her character imo, sure it might be a grab for pity but it shows how much shes willing to put herself through for the sake of the orphans. Im not sure how such blatant characterization can make a character feel more flat but okie
Sure you could say she inadvertently killed the orphans but thats not through her own intent, its just a tragic circumstance. Tbh im glad they didnt go the route of making her a love interest, she serves hyakkimaru better as somewhat of a martyr and in reality all she would do is slow hyakki and dororo down - she cant fight and would never abandon the orphans, who would all be liabilities as well. Her fate was very intentional from the start and i appreciate how it was used to develop hyakki , i have a feeling she will continue to motivate him more later on, esp with the rice seeds.

And lmao some of yall are heartless she literally died and witnessed everything she sacrificed her body for be destroyed and youre saying she asked for it oml

exactly like she sacrificed herself to help the orphans who already were on the verge of death had she not went out to try and make *some* money/provisions. literally heartless as if she wanted to sacrifice her body for those gross men. like she said she did what she had to do to SURVIVE, and it seems that back then there wasn’t much for a woman to do anyways during the war. how much of a woman hater you gotta be to say she basically deserved it just bc she made one wrong choice in an effort to finally be done with that job smh. only person with sense and empathy i’ve seen so far in this thread and it’s sad.

whole lotta virgin energy goin on in this thread, u put it exactly into words for me. anyone who says she deserved it bc she was a dUmB whoRe clearly wasnt watching the same episode we were bc if they did they wouldn’t be making stupid comments bc they didn’t get the underlining meaning to her character and why she actually went to both war camps.

Wow I've never encountered so many incels in one thread. Go crawl back into that dark corner of the internet where you'll never meet so much as a woman's gaze. Let alone touch.
I guess the French women during ww2 should have just opened some hotels? The comfort women of Korea just majored in bad subjects?!
During times of war you don't get to decide what you are doing. You do what you can to survive. Mio gave her all for those kids. Who wouldn't have even been alive if it wasn't for her sacrifice. I'm glad the series touched on this topic.
