I mean, when I said I like people caring for their pets, I didn't mean it like that.

Dororo is awesome and poor Hyakki.

- out of all things they decided to go with sharks , REALLY ? .
- dororo jumping in the water bit was the dumbest thing i have seen from this anime .
- why did the bandits leave the dude who just killed half of their squad ? not to mention the whole village too .

NGL these last few episodes have been a big disappointment .

Yeah, thought so too

I'm a marine biologist, with sharks as my specialty no less, and I have to say that I find Jiromaru and Saburomaru to be too cute for their own good, possible demonic connection be damned.

(Those two sharks are also likely secretly female like Dororo.)

I'm getting antsy for the two of them to reunite, but I'm also happy to see that Hyakkimaru's set to hopefully meet Jukai again!

As expected, the issue regarding animation in the previous episode was just due to a directing decision.

Oh boy, I felt so stressed during this episode regarding Dororo's situation, especially when Itachi and co. found out about her genre. Having her secret being revealed in such dishonorable way sure was awful but at least, I'm a bit relieved nothing too fucked up happened after that. I still hope Itachi to die for having stripped her tho.

On the other hand, that shark guy sure looked disturbed as hell. I guess we will be able to see his past at some point but so far, I'm not really interested in his character.

P.S. 1: Eh... why do I have the feeling Jiromarou will go full "Gyo" mode in the next episode?...

P.S. 2: Seeing people actually feeling bad for the shark boy is beyond me... I mean, the bastard fed his sharks with women and kids for God's sake!

I’m confused. Is itachi a bad guy or not? He betrayed Dororo and her family, was amused when dororo’s mother fed dororo soup on her hands, and dug up her grave, but when dororo dived into the ocean to lure the shark the dude seemed generally concerned?????He didn’t seem to have any big reaction to either dororo’s parents dying

If Dororo dies, he cannot find the treasure.

Poor Dororo was stripped naked and tied to a tree.

I'm guessing Jiroumaru is going to either become Sharknado or magically fly and gobble up Itachi's gang.

There wasn't enough of Hyakki in this episode so I was kind of disappointed but I loved it nonetheless, the animation isn't the best but I'm sticking for the story. The story is still one of the best although last episode left little to be desired.

I'm excited for next week's episode!

100% improvement on the animation this week! I would worry about my hostage falling off the horse being tied up like that. I really liked the episode and was very pleased that the animation was back to normal. Hyakkimaru not being in the episode very much surprisingly worked, I was still really interested in what was happening. Dororo taking charge and luring the shark so they could escape shows Hyakkimaru's influence.

I felt like this episode had good character development for Dororo. It showed that she's brave and smart and can find ways to get by without Hyakkimaru. I enjoyed this episode despite Hyakkimaru not really being in it. The animation was also a lot better.

Itachi is a real piece of shit, even though he's just trying to get by. But that shark guy was even worse. Sharks freak me out so I was feeling pretty tense for most of the episode. I loved Dororo's pep talk and plan to kill the shark, it made me like her even more.

She really should've let those guys kill the shark guy, but hopefully now Itachi and his men will get eaten and Dororo will escape. I was hoping the map wouldn't show up on Dororo's back, but I feel like it won't be as simple as they think to find this treasure.

This show is going down hill. It's not just the animation, but last three episodes have sucked. Episode 15 was outright bad and rest were okay-meh episodes. First half had very few weaker episodes and this has just had three back to back... I understand an episodic show will have some weaker, but now this is just out of hand.

First half was probably a strong 8/10 and this second half is looking to bring series down quite a bit. Probably 6/10 max and even if it improves you can't ignore the inconsistency.

They captured this guy who has 2 sharks and they ate half of itachi's men , then itachi has released him why !!!!!?????
He killed his men , and itachi as a warrior must kill him and revenge for his men . Also how will he come back and avoid the shark !!!!! That is nonsense.

Seems like Sharkboy is gonna kill Itachi and his band before he truly gets to the treasure, and either he's gonna let Dororo go, or they're gonna team up, or Hyakimaru is just gonna show up and slice Sharkboy tf up lmao

That one-armed psycho looks like a mix between Hyakkimaru and Dororo, going as to fed his arms to the sharks, that is just so wild and dark, and then he followed by admitting his crime in killing off all of the villagers. However, even he still has more dignity on him than Itachi, man, that dude never lets me put some faith on him, one instance he's all an edge load jerk, the other he's very chill and friendly. Dororo must have been humiliated to the bits when they stripped her from her clothes, damn.
We're about to see that old man who took care of Hyakkimaru again.

I had initially thought that Shark Boy was some sort of grown-up version of Dororo after a timeskip in the opening since they look alike so I was pretty surprised that he's an entirely different character and a complete nutjob at that! Jiromaru and Saburomaru devouring half of Itachi's men was so brutal and I haven't seen a shark attack like that in ages. Even though he killed so much of his men, Itachi let him off the hook so he can get even with Dororo after she helped them kill Saburomaru and I'm pretty glad that he did because that means that Shark Boy has an opportunity to let Jiromaru go straight-up Gyo in this episode and have him devour those bastards up that cape for making Dororo and her family's lives a living hell.

I definitely recognized the two sharks' names from Okami that has a lot of influence from Japanese mythology so I found that really cool! In the game, Jiro and Saburo were two star-crossed lovers that committed double suicide by jumping down the crashing waves of the ocean but they turned into hermit crabs that can form a giant shark when they come together by fusing.

Im so glad the animation is somewhat back to normal after last week. I was worried Kobayashi might have his hands on more than one episode..

Also, was looking forward to seeing shark boy since the new opening animation, he looked rather interesting. I still don't know how to feel about him though, want to see what happens next.

I knew it! I knew from the beginning that Dororo was a girl. With this episode it was confirmed at 100%.

"[...] preserve life until your last breath", great words of Dororo.

The shark boy is really crazy and sick. He killed an entire village and lost his arm to two sharks. I will not be satisfied until it is devoured by its own shark, which by the way, seems to have been possessed by a demon.

Ahhh, Hyakkimaru is going to be reunited with his adoptive father. It will be a touching scene: ').

I will wait anxiously for the next episode.

Not all of them but a vast majority of shows will have a budget saving episode or a couple that are notably lesser in quality. This episode looked fine save a couple distance shots though so not sure why your hung up on this one when last episode was the real wtf episode.

Itachi is disgusting. Also the transitions in this show have gotten very amateur-ish. The storytelling isn't tight either anymore. I have been noticing that since last two episodes, they have been showing Dororo in a lowkey fetishized way which is gross too.

Who gives a dam if they beat the crap out of the Shark guy ffs Dororo. He murdered kids and his entire village to feed to his sharks and himself, also tried to do the same to you as well. The freaking Spider monster waifu from the earlier episodes was more human than this guy.

well that was sad. i actually really like shark boy! he's really interesting and kinda creepy but he's really cool.

once again, fuck itachi. hopefully hyakki will come save dororo once he gets another prosthetic leg, which it looks like he will, judging by the after-credits.

also, amazon prime back it again with the late uploads......


Itachi... the guy who is just trying to get ahead in the world (remember he did not betry Dororos parents until after getting slapped around for suggesting they take up a lord) is shit but shark boy who fed an entire village to sharks is cool...



It's amazing lol. Guess all the kid had to do was cry for his killer demon shark and people start sympathizing with him.

This was such a great episode because we got to see how brave, smart and resilient Dororo is even without Hyakkimaru. She's a survivor! But i do hope they find each other again soon!

Also, am i the only one who wants to beat the shit out of Itachi for stripping her? I know he didn't know she was a girl at first but even wen he found out, her left her naked in front of all those men. Bastard.

My god this episode was such a let down from a writing standpoint... All characters acted so illogiaclly and out of their character. Itachi and Dororo knew that this shark kid slaughtered the whole village and killed half of Itachi's men and they decided to let him go just like that... after killing his shark- the most valuable thing in his live. Yeah for sure he isn't going to try to kill them in return.... And Dororo still cares about Itachi after what he did, he betrayed his family, he profaned his mothers grave and now Dororo wants to help him and gives him friendly advices... And don't let me start on the whole thing with Dororo escaping the shark under the water.

I want this itachi mf dead so bad

that one arm guy is off, damn he fed his arm to the sharks, what a savage

Got trapped bitches.

Also, look like the animation is smoother in this episode

hah Itachi realized his stupidity, ok that's good I guess. Dororo gives them a lesson, dude sees his boss image in her speech., dororo has more balls than these guys how ironic.

The shark guy is so dead this time lol

OOF they freaking stripped dororo her gender is revealed now, thanks god they didn't rape her or some shit.

Dororo had quite the balls to go into the water as bait. At this point she really should have her own revenge story against Itachi for betraying her dad, desecrating her mom's grave and now exposing her body. Still bit confused how the heck Shiranui killed the whole village considering he's weak but I guess from the last scene that his sharks can walk upon land or something.

And there wouldn't be another reason beside the fact those sharks being demons, cause................. you see, trained sharks! Nothing in the world could convince me that such a thing existis... even in a fictional world. It's more easy to believe in demons and hauntings, though.
