Favorite short so far. En-san is simply incredible and that Shin/Noi moment was really sweet.

En's family to a masquerade ball, only for the Devils.

Getting them to dress up tribal-like and mushroom-like is so En, and I love it at how hilarious it is.

The Shin and Noi moment flashback was just too sweet, the same back then, and definitely now.

My favorite episode of those short ones. I'm probably supposed to want a second season for the story but the truth is that I really want it to see more of the Shin X Noi ship. They are always so funny and cute together.

Just when I thought I couldn't love En anymore.
I know he's not an antagonist, but since he's the primary opposing force of the MC, I'll say this anyway: En is my favorite antagonist!

I thought they'd utilize this little plot to squeeze some romance in. Was hoping to see my man Shin dance with Noi. Heck, I wanted Fuji and Ebisu to dance too -- even if platonic. I was displeased when Ebisu ditched him (after seeing her file an application to be his partner during the series).

But yeah, this was certainly different from the usual Dorohedoro. I never thought there'd be a tropical-islander kinda setting at any point in this anime. Again with En -- it's all the more reason to love'm. The randomness incorporated into his idea of a Masquerade.

This was definitely my favorite special. The whole OVA concept is really cool. Good on the Dorohedoro staff for bundling this in with the DVD. It's the little things animators do that count.

For anime only it is the only time that we see En's and Birdman's face uncovered.

lmao it was definitely weird hearing the chants

I don't get how Shin didn't recognize Noi, either before or after
Not to mention that he could easily find out who she was since En's family isn't massive, there can only be so many teenage white haired girls there

Lol Ebisu flashing her tits was hilarious
How can you not love her chaotic energy

Fujita got what he deserved for turning her down in the first place :P

Truly devilish festivity they got going there by forcing them to dance with random people, as an introvert that would be the worst nightmare.
Kinda bothered they used "Allahu" in the chanting there, but I still want to believe it was just plain ignorance or a mistake.

The chanting in the background is a qawwali by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan called Allah hu Allah hu. Being a south Asian I was surprised that they used a qawwali for this . They also used a sample from a bollywood song in the ending theme. That was kinda weird but I was happy to hear something familiar being used in Anime XD

I absolutely loved En in this short and it was really nice seeing Shin and Noi at the ball when Shin first became En's cleaner; definitely ship the two; this short is definitely my favorite one so far

I love this anime and these OVAs but i really want to point out something.
Studio has used Allah hu chant from a qawwali. This in itself is not much issue but they used it as background music for a ball of devil worshippers or simply devils and their friends/followers. This is totally wrong. Allah hu is a spiritual chant and it is offending to use it for the devil ball because the two couldn't be more opposite.
I would like to request the studio to please edit this sequence in OVA. Use rest of the qawwali but leave this part. I would also like to request my fellow anime fans to report this to the studio. It doesn't matter which religion, ridiculing or defiling any religion is wrong.

Enjoyed this one very much. Love the pressure of asking a girl to dance with you or get pierced right into the backyard hole haha. Also really like seeing more of Noi and Shin’s relationship.
Vandelay Industries, this is George Can’t-Stand-Ya speaking, how may I assist you?

Interesting that they used an Indian Sufi-Islamic song as background music (The lyrics go "Allah Hu, Allah Hu..." , it is a very classic devotional song in the Indian Sufi repertoire).

Then again, the wailing in the OP is also sampled from Sufi music, so I guess I shouldn't be too surprised.

Very offensive that an Islamic chant that is used for praising Allah was used as a BGM for a devil praising/worshipping ball. Really offensive to a Billion human beings on the planet. No matter which religion, please respect them.

Chota face reveal!

I love how unrelenting the writers are with supplying us with Shin x Noi shipping material.
