| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Whoa, that's scary. A youkai that uses other people's faces as their own...? I guess that world has all types of monsters but it's a good thing they dealt with that problem. It would be dangerous to leave a youkai roaming around free like that. |

| Great episode as always. I wonder why Hyakkimaru hasn't been able to gain back more parts despite killing so many demons especially the fox spirit. I'm assuming it actually isn't dead yet and he just hasn't been able to find some of the 'main demons'? The story of the carver was kinda sad. I love the blind priest, he just turns up out of nowhere, I wonder if he's secretly shadowing Hayakkimaru and Dororo or if his journey just leads him to the same places as the other two. New OP is pretty good, visuals especially. |
 |
| Wasn't it for that face changing sculpture maker, this may be the most peaceful episode so far. I wonder if the map is somehow connected to Hyakkimaru and those deamons. |

IRON_FIST1984 said: meh episode. Yeah, this show really knows how to switch between good episodes with interesting plot progressions and literally a fillers. Maybe manga is like that too, dunno. |
|
| awww,look at Hyakki, he talked for 12 eps in one :p i don't know about others but iliked this ep sometime after one with heavy tension, bit of chilling one is good |
The spider is watching |
| an ok episode. Second cour starts and we got a new opening and ED both are a major decline in my opinion. The first ones were unbelievably good. Now.. If you'll excuse me, I'm going on youtube to listen to the first ED/OP |
| Felt like I was watching an episode from Naruto. |
 |
| an ok episode but nothing really great |
 |
| hyakki is talking so much!! i love his voice, hiroki is such a good VA. this was a really calm episode but i'm sure this is just the calm before the storm. also, loving the new OP and ED. AKFG always impress~~ |
  |
| New opening is pretty cool, Asian Kung-Fu Generation delivered again, even tho I gotta admit that it's far from being one of their best songs. Episode was good as always, I simply enjoy these different stories. And Biwamaru as mysterious as ever. |

| I love the bond between Hyakkimaru & Dororo so much. They're the family that both needs right now and its so pure and beautiful. I'm so happy now that Hyakkimaru can speak, it's music to my ears hahaha For me, that was the scariest yokai so far. Having ur face sliced off and then never being able to rest at the bottom of that waterfall? Hell no, i ain't playing that game thanks! |
 |
| Wow, I don't recall the faceless Buddha physically cutting off the victims' faces in the OG '69 version, or at least be shown on-screen doing it. |
 |
| I feel like the art changed a little. In the previous episodes, the backgrounds looked like they were made with watercolours. Now, some of the backgrounds look like they were painted in the computer. While I don't dislike stuff made in the computer, the previous art was just too beautiful! (it's also possible that nothing has changed and I am just overthinking). I feel like that statue would be too creepy if someone were to see it in real life in such a place. Looks like Hyakki got his sight back. Now sure. Dororo hiding her non existent chest around the other people was so cute and funny. Also, because of the way she speaks and behaves, it's so hard to think of her as a girl. She's more masculine than me! The op and ed changed. (ToT) The old ones were so amazing! Why must there be a new op and ed for every cour!! |
| I wonder what was that on Dororo's back. At first it looked like a flower, but upon closer inspection it was something else. This episode was mostly chill, although that Buda the cuts off faces was really weird. |

| This feels like a filler episode but it was fine. I wonder if Dororo's "map" at the back is related to Hyakkimaru's demons. I like the new OP (AKFG!!!!!! i miss their songs) and ED although I already miss the previous ones. The new ED is pretty symbolic and interesting to watch. It somehow makes you feel how Hyakkimaru sees the world with all that blurred images... |

| The map on Dororo's back is certainly an interesting development. I wonder what it will mean for them in the future. |

| new opening from ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION my favorite band ever yey! Awesome as ever. |
| Boring monster of the week again. And while we had some nice monster of the week episodes (curse dsowrd, spider demon lady - they were the best) most were mediocre only. This one was the worst so far - boring. Hopefully we won't have to wait until last 3 episodes for the main plot to continue. And hopefully some better monster of the week episodes in the future. New OP was slightly better than the previous one. But still only okay-ish. |
Jazzuke said: A lot of people seem to be complaining that this was filler? We actually got some really good development in this episode. Hyakkimaru is speaking more and the relationship between him and Dororo progressed. Hyakkimaru also seemed to get over some sort of emotional barricade and is getting more relaxed (or he just wanted to appease Dororo? either way he stopped being so reluctant to do something that didn't involve killing a ghoul). We also learnt about the map(?) on Dororo's back. I will admit that It wasn't as packed full of action and emotion as the previous episodes but it did help to flesh out Hyakkimaru and Dororo a bit more. seriously, i don't get how people can call filler to all this character development! not everything's about big battles and action. |
| This episode was pretty great, it showed some good character development. Im interested to see what that pattern is on Dororo's back. |
| New OP looks more like a shounen show now lel. Nice to see Hyakki putting more effort into communicating with Dororo Jazzuke said: A lot of people seem to be complaining that this was filler?

Seems anything that isn't fast paced action = filler |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| I've been watching this show pretty much at the same time as watching the original anime so I can compare them. Thus far, I've noticed that this version is a lot less dark, still dark yes, but not so much compared to the original. Still tho, enjoying the show, especially since I love the 2 MC's in this version compared to the original, so that's kind of a mix up for me. |
 |
| Not a bad episode but they really messed up the story of beautiful Fudo. No dogs no frozen cave. Also the change of character of the girl. And the Fudo was not so scary in this version not saying Kao over and over. In the original the internal struggle of the girl was much greater |
| After a week and we got boring episode. I thought Hakkaimaru will get his eye back since we saw in the OP that he gets his eye. |

| I already forgotten about the old ed but this one is not that good either the old op was 10 x better. bellow average episode, the only thing that got my interest was that curse on dororo and the rain at Daigo. |
| I like this episode a lot, great start for the new season of Dororo. Okaka tries to disguise himself as Hyakkimaru's mom mean Hyakki must've been thinking a lot about his mom recently, glad she survived from last ep. I like the moment when Okaka touched Dororo's face and told Dororo her smiling face is like a Buddha. I'm starting to worry about Dororo's tattoo on her back. The way Hyakkimaru stares at it makes me feel uneasy. |

| Not a terrible episode or anything, but certainly not anything special either. The map on Dororo's back is interesting, though, even if it's not clear at all what that's all about. |
| I like the new OP and the new ED, they just aren't near as good as the first ones to me, but well Dororo is back for its second half! And Hyakkimaru is talking more than ever. xD My poor Hyakkimaru has been having nightmares, probably for the first time ever, after having met his mother for the first time in his life, only to be forsaken by her. I like his new mindset of wanting to cut down all the demons and get back what was stolen from him though. But it seems that he has been rushing it, so I'm glad that Dororo is always there for him. And what a cruel twist of fate that they had to meet a "demon" which could see into their souls and change into a loved one to try and catch them off guard. Unfortunately ("fortunately?") there was no way this would work on someone who doesn't even know his mother's face, and so it was the end for the face devouring youkai. I guess that even the carver was just another victim of it all, Dororo was able to bring her back to her senses in the end after all. And it seems that Dororo still holds a secret, even if she doesn't know about it herself. |
 |
| Am I the only one feeling like Dororo is falling in love with Hyakkymaru?! I hope they don’t takes this route ....‘cause for me both are more like siblings... |
| A hot spring episdoe in Dororo, nice |
 |
| Pretty good episode, I didn't find the sculptor character or their story particularly interesting but the episode still felt like a good return to form for Dororo and Hyakki's more... casual adventures/monster of the week thing. Also I fucking love those first 20 seconds of the new OP, and I think I love the new ED even more than the first. The track is so melancholic and the visuals are a lot more interesting. The first part seems like one or two people lying down together? And one moving onto their side?? Also judging from certain scenes in that new OP, I'm guessing we're going to start getting more demons with human forms from now on? And I guess demons that are tougher and stick around longer? Or maybe I'm just misreading it. |

| The real question is: Did Hyakkimaru secretly gain back his vision and has to get used to it now step by step (explaining the ed and the reason for why he hasn't been discussing his newfound sight with Dororo yet? |
