Both anime deal with moral dilemmas. This lets us, the audience, think about the actions and decisions of the main characters and if what they are doing is right or wrong. In Death note, the main character has a notebook of death which he uses to rid the world of criminals. It makes us think whether the main character is in the right or wrong. Whilst his actions would create a safer society for the innocent, criminals are being killed. Is it really OK for those in the wrong to be killed? In Dororo, this moral dilemma is done in a similar fashion. Our main character, Hyakkimaru, had most of his body took from him by demons when he was born. He grows up thanks to prosthetic limbs, and uses his swords for arms to kill the demons which took his body, and for every demon he kills, he gets a part of his body back. The moral dilemma in this situation is that though Hyakkimaru might be becoming more human on the outside when he gets his body parts back, he might become less human on the inside and more of a killing machine. The audience might debate whether his actions are right or not.
