what was first? btw nice episode |
p-sy said: Oh boy. the show is amazing. but the most thing I hate is rape scenes in anime. dammit poor Mio. (one other third guy was in the shadows.. rough work) "rape scenes" ? its not rape |
| Really good episode. More worldbuilding and dark, dismal atmosphere. It's interesting that Hyakkimaru is getting weaker as he regains parts of his body. Dororo continues to be my favorite of the season. |
| What a great episode. So much happened, it's probably my favorite so far. I'm glad the old man is back, they'd probably be a lot worse off if it wasn't for him. So the more demons they defeat, the more misfortune befalls the land of Hyakkimaru's family. I wonder how long it will be before his father catches on and sends someone to kill him? It was sweet to see Dororo getting along with other kids. Mio is already my favorite character so far. It was sad to see the kind of work she had to do to feed herself and the kids she takes care of. I kind of suspected she wasn't being honest about what she did, but didn't really think she was selling herself until she approached the two samurai. I really hope Hyakkimaru and the others can save her. Hyakkimau still hasn't gotten used to his hearing, and it makes me wonder how he can understand spoken language if he's never heard it before? It really took me by surprise that Hyakkimaru got his voice back, but it really sucks he lost his real leg in the process. The first thing he does with his regained voice is scream in pain... It seems like his regained body parts are just having negative impacts on him, and it's getting harder for him to deal with. I can't wait to see how this two part episode ends. Also, I noticed Dororo calls Hyakkimaru "Aniki", which, correct me if I'm wrong, means a form of "big brother". But I notice they translate it different ways like he's just saying "hey", "you", or "Hyakkimaru". Is this accurate, or are they taking too many liberties with the translation? Either way, this show just got way more intense and I'm really interested to see where it goes. |

Shield bro and false rape accusations. Highlighting this issue is direct threat to MeToo movement which is their political weapon, so they are triggered beyond reason. |
 |
| I guess this episode also had a really important lesson for Hyakkimaru-- maybe the most important yet-- the value of one's limbs and the sense in fearing pain/damage. He's probably used to them being repairable/replaceable attachments and nothing more, but now they're a living part of him and he has get used to that. He has to learn to actually start minding himself and his well-being. Tough way to learn that though. |

| The fighting scenes in this episode were so beautifully animated, good job mappa When the kids said that Mio works at night, it was kind of obvious for me. There's not much else for a woman to do in this scenario, poor girl |
Wait, did you just say that Jojo is shit?  |
| Like really, what other job she could do for people who don't have much to do themselves in the first place... Still very sad premise. And poor Hyakkimaru. |

Lululand said: Same.....I found that reveal to be pretty sad :(shiro_kai said: Is she working or getting raped? I don't get it. Cause if she was just working there, would be no need to other two guys hold her. She should probably not have gone there. Her job is being a whore... @Topic Jeez what an episode, i'm in love with this anime. It's perfect. I'm kinda sad because Anaki found his love, but his love's working as a whore. I just hope that she and this kids don't end up dying in this inevitable war |
| Poor Mio, she's a really good girl, by protecting the children this way. When she mentioned that she works for the soldiers and that she only works at night, it was really the worst thing imaginable. Makes sense why she's singing as well, to make it all bearable. Damn that Demon in the sandpit looked epic. Hyakkimaru got his voice back fighting that demon, but lost it's lower leg he got back not so long ago :( Honestly hoping that after these events, we'll see more of Mio! Especially cause of Hyakkimaru's interest in her! |

praisethevillain said: Hyakkimau still hasn't gotten used to his hearing, and it makes me wonder how he can understand spoken language if he's never heard it before? Exactly my question... Though remember in episode 2 hen he understood that Dororo wanted to know his name? Thus he wrote it in the the ground. Maybe he has some talent to understand? Or there was some method that Jukai taught him though we don't know how... Because when he told him that "Hyakkimaru" was his name he understood that. xD |
| So voice is back and leg is gone again mhh could get interesting and i think we got a bit of foreshadowing in this Episode with Mio that 1. she will die or 2. get captured or imprisoned because Dororo and the other kid debating over its save or not and why would they insert a scene like this if nothings gonna happen... She is basicially a kinda "love" interest and i think with Hyakkimarus voice back it could get even more interesting and i overall like her Character,it was kinda obvious what she worked after she said "i work a night" and her reaction to Hyakkimaru watching her, because she probably has not a good history with male humans in the age of dont know like 19-40... And i still wait for the moment (probably will be at or near the end of the show) where Hyakkimaru has his "happy" reunion with his father,borther and Mother but i think only his mother is gonna be happy for real |
 |
| This was such an heavy episode. Hyakimaru suffering from getting used to hearing and in the end get back is voice screaming in pain from the loss of his feet. And Mio, oh Gods, poor thing, to think we would see it so explicitly... but yeah, it's war, and in war this is what it happens. Can't wait for the next epsiode. |
| I had a feeling she might be prostituting herself but thought nahh surely not in this anime..... wow, that shocked me. Also Hyakkimaru you just got that fucking leg back ffs. |
 |
| Does anyone know if this adaptation is faithful to manga or if it's completely reworked? I like the way it's handled anyway. |
| Wow, what an episode. I regret watching it now because I'd have to wait until next week for the second part. I think he has always had his voice but he didn't know how to use it. The bird thing at the beginning of the episode wasn't one of the 12 and the demon near the end isn't dead yet. Maybe after clearing that demon, he'll be able to get the leg back since the demon.. ate it? Also, I see death flags for Mio which SUCKS because they would be such a cute couple. I hope I'm wrong... but after seeing how dark this show is getting :( I don't think Mio was "raped". It was probably her job to please the soldiers even though she didn't like it, but it was self-sacrifice for the sake of the kids she took in. Humming that song was just to keep her sane, poor girl :(. My heart doesn't feel so good. |

| Brutal ending to an amazing episode. |
DeeAngel said: Sushantbro said: I didn't expect that too. I think we are only the innocent ones around here. 3 to the boat...xD I didn't expect that coming as well though I found strange when she said she was "working to the soldiers at night", but I thought it could be just helping them with wounds or so...since she knew very well how to take care of Hyakkimaru. (the covering part I thought she was just embarrassed that he could "see" something lol) But oh well...though it wasn't a big surprise seeing her in the end doing that, it was still something I wasn't expecting. The one that really shocked me was the right leg of Hyakkimaru... It is just me or I felt this episode quite rushed? Not so many actions in battle, the sudden voice recovering and many things happening at the same time? Sounded like episode 4 somehow... But overall it was a great episode as always! Love how they make detailed the adaptations of Hyakkimaru to the world of humanity! Make that 4 people who didn't see it coming lol! I thought that maybe she was doing watch duty at the border or something, but I was clearly wrong. I agree @DeeAngel that it did feel a little rushed in this episode... Rewxarx said: The way they panned away from the leg, along with the red flecks that the priest saw in his soul, I reckon it might grow back. Either that, or he'll get a replacement like the kids have. I hope so! I feel so bad that he lost his new leg! |

| This episode made me realize that I really don’t like how their feet are drawn. |
DeeAngel said: Yea this adaptation is rushed instead of 25 demons there will be 12 demons.Sushantbro said: I didn't expect that too.

BenuAL said: MaahHeim said: Awful thing for Mio. Although I was already expecting that... Really sad. Hyakkimaru lost his brand new leg, but his voice is back. The leg was old thought... He didn't have it for 16 years and got it 3 episodes ago lmao |

shiro_kai said: Is she working or getting raped? I don't get it. Cause if she was just working there, would be no need to other two guys hold her. She should probably not have gone there. She is working. Ever heard of prostitutes? Holding her down has got nothing with that? Maybe they just like that position. But you can cry about rape in twitter if you want to. |
revyHOLiC said: He had already beaten the demon before losing his leg. . More like the demon was defeated once but the demon is still alive.Holy sheep, feel bad for Mio. How'd Hyakkimaru voice is back? The demons has not beaten yet. |

Tokyo ghoul's 1st ,2nd ,3rd and 4th season were a big mistake of Pierrot!!!!! |
Haxr57 said: Looks like I'm the only one who didn't guess mio's job. Me too oh man D: But ok hey Hyakkimaru's voice(!!!!!!) |
 |
| This shows shows many aspect into whats life like like into that time frame.... they actually show at end which is horrible to watch. |

Avere said: I thought something was a little weird when we first saw her, in the river it appears like she's washing off her "privates". Looking back it was some clear foreshadowing I suppose. I thought for a moment it was just weird animation.  Yeah, the first thing that came to my mind was Rob Roy movie with Liam Neeson, there was literally the exct same scene. Nordhammer said: ...Guess folks never read the manga nor watched the original anime. This latest version of Dororo could change that fate but ... I did not read nor watch it, but well ... when you serve two camps during war ... shits gonna happen. |
 |
| owwww that ending leading up to it i was like it isn't safe for this single girl to go off to both sides for work than i thought to myself like if samurai's straight up cutting kids in the roads ant punishable in this period then i dont think rape is either despite how messed up that sounds though that might not be the case here it didn't make it any less shitty to see add that with Maru crying in pain made for a painful ending. |
