| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- What an episode. Kagemitsu's order sounds like a drastic move against his enemies. It's like Hyakkimaru fufilling his destiny or something with his own actions this episode. I'm sure a lot was going through his mind. In the meantime, the battle he had was quite thrilling if you ask me. |

| Hyakkimaru will ride a fucking Rapidash to the final battle, absolute madlad. |
 |
| Great episode. I felt really bad for the horse, it didn't deserve to get blown up like that. :( Action sequences were awesome, I did feel bad for Tahomaru's retainers for getting their arms chopped off since they seemed like decent people but I guess they were the ones who aggravated and picked a fight with Hyakkimaru.

| Man, i was on the edge the whole episode. Fucking awesome. These assholes don't even know what is coming at them. It's time for massacre. |
 |
| I hope that horse will help Hyakkimaru! |
 |
| Dororo must be there for Hyakkimaru when all this bullshit is over. |
| First time I saw the ending all the way to the end, and I have to say, seeing Ponytail-less Dororo is adorable. If Dororo was 4 or 5 years older I'd be a Hyakki x Dororo shipper. |

Lol xD papsoshea said: The showdown with Hyakkimaru and Tahomaru (and his guard) was really good - the action sequences were done right imo. I agree, the animation for the fight was well done. Can't wait till next episode!! |

| Ah man, this anime is tearing me apart... I don't want Tahomaru to die because he's just trying to be a good ruler and i don't want Hyakkimaru to die but he's getting so cold and hard hearted and it's so sad. I thought he'd turned a corner recently but it feels like he's taken 3 steps back. I also have a theory that the old blind man is the demon that didn't take a part of him but i'm not sure what that would mean for the plot... I've kinda given up on a happy ending... just preparing for the worst now π |
 |
| Damn the Hyakki vs Taho fight is badass. But it is not over yet. I wonder will the demon horse become an ally or something. Also, the ED visuals changed a bit, it's not as blurry as before. We even get clear view of Dororo in the ED. Does this mean Hyakki will get his eyes back next episode? |
| This was such a dope episode, especially in terms of action. These finale episodes are going to be wild. Swagernator said: Hyakkimaru will ride a fucking Rapidash to the final battle, absolute madlad. XD |

| Re:formed |
| It really hurt when Hyakki cut those siblings arms , but still he had to do that in order to survive. |
| BRAWLERS |
| Best anime fight this season for me yet in term of plot relevance. All the accumulated happenings from past eps have really helped for me to like this one. I was hoping Hyaki kills Tahomaru's servant and watch him as he fall to despair. Unfortunately, it didn't happen this episode. I hope he massacre Daigo and that little brother. Looking forward to the next ep. |
 |
| I felt bad for that horse, ripped away from her child and then killed in a suicide bombing. |
 |
| that was some incredible animation - arguably probably one of the best fights this season. i really like the narrative of how hyakki is slowly turning to the dark side and will stop at absolutely nothing to get his body back (we knew that before but it's becoming much clearer). he's becoming much more ruthless but what keeps him grounded is dororo. it hurts to see it happen but i really love the buildup. am i the only one who saw the white horse with the flaming mane and automatically thought of a ponyta? new visuals for the ED include a clearer vision of dororo - hyakki possibly gets his eyes back next episode? |
  |
| incredible animation in this weeks episode. not only in combat but also facial expressions and character acting was on point!!! I freaking love the osts played during the fights. Hyakkimaru is on another level compared to these three. I thought this would be the final battle between these two but I guess not. Amazing episode. |
| As things stand, it seems Hyakki will slaughter most of the remaining cast and fight the final demon to get the rest of his body back. it's hard to think Hyakki will have a change of his heart at this point considering his dad and brother want him dead, so it's hard to blame him though. The showdown this episode was interesting, watching haykki wreck his brother and the 2 siblings was satisfying after they ganged up on him few episodes ago. Also, RIP poor horse. |

Does this mean Hyakki will get his eyes back next episode? And awwww!!! Dororo and oku |
| Seriously tho, they really nerfed Hyakki this episode. Usually, Tahoumarou get destroyed when he fights Hyakki one to one so how come he actually keep up now? And what with Hyakki being pushed back by a horse when he stopped a shark and Chimera few episodes ago? It really feels like the show is having a trouble with Hyakki's display of strength Hyakki can slay a 10-foot huge beast but has trouble hitting a horse, sigh... |

Tahomaru is real monster and he should to die a painful death. Trying to be a good ruler by sacrificing innocent children to demons. If he wants to be good guy why didn't he sacrifice his own body to those demons. Hyakkimaru isn't cold. He's angry and has every right to be angry after what his shitty famili did to him. Do you seriously think he has no right to get his body parts back? Did he ever attack his shitty brother or father. They are the ones attacking him and he has no choice but defend himself. I'm sure justice will be served and manga spoiler. If you really think that spoild brat Tahomaru is the good guy in this story you have serious problems. I totally get that but Tahomaru has been brought up by a father that has made him believe it's okay do anything as long as it for the good of the people. I don't think he deserves to die a painful death because u also have to think about the era they live in. The Sengoku Era was a very harsh time to live in so his attitude makes sense... for that time! Also i didn't say Hyakki doesn't deserve his body back, he really does but he gets aggressive to people that don't deserve it (like the man who tried to warn them about Daigo) and he's also hurting Dororo with the way he keep killing and stuff. |

It's hard to blame Tahomaru though, from his perspective, Hyakki is the reason his people and country is dying and killing Hyakki is the only way to stop this. |
| Lol is that a fucking Rapidash there |

| That fight between Hyakkimaru and Tahomaru was Sugoi. Also hey pokemon fans :3 its a Rapidash lol |
   I want you to be happy. I want you to laugh a lot. I don’t know what exactly I’ll be able to do for you, but I’ll always be by your side. |
| A wild rapidash appeared. Hyakkimaru using slash and throw a pokeball xD |

By that logic it's hard to blame Hitler too. He too thought that he was commiting genocide for his country. Hitler entier ideals came from his head tho, Daigo sacrificed his child to save the country and the moment Hyakki showed up his entire county went to shit. Of course, Tahoumarou will think Hyakki the cause for all of this. |
| So Tahomaru unfortunately still did not die. Also how dumb and evil can Daigo'd people and Tahomaru be? I mean they are constantly killing and robbing their own people, but they claim to care for them and save them. Also they believe that killing Hyakkamaru will stop the war. How? Are they insane. Killing Daigo might do this since Daigo started the war, but not Hyakkamaru. |

Of course, Tahoumarou will think Hyakki the cause for all of this. Are you trying to say that Tahomaru is mentally defective and thats why he blames their victim in their own shitty ruling. I mean what would you do if you was in Tahomarou's shoes? He did show sympathy for his brother and did not agree with his father's action at first, but then Daigo put him in the situation and made him carry the responsibility of the country. Eventually, Tahou came to the mindset that "what's done is done and Hyakki existence now do more harm than good" so he becomes focused on saving his country Unlike Daigo, it's shown many times that Tahou's motivations are noble and comes purely from his care and worry about his people. Because he is the prince and the next king of the county, he sees it as his responsibility to kill his brother Him calling his brother a "Devil" and constantly trying to kill him with cold blood is unjustified, but you have to remember that those guys lives in the Sengoku era, they just burned down and killed a whole village because they don't want the illness to spread. |

| Talking about honor when u tried to shoot a man in the back smh |
| Honestly, it's pretty hard to hate Tahomaru since from his perspective, he's trying to get rid of the "problem" that is threatening his land... well, I also think he wants to prove himself in order to gain more recognition from his shitty father but I guess it can't be helped. Too bad that due to his increasing hatred, it seems he will become a demon somehow in order to achieve his goal. This is just an speculation of mine tho. Anyways, this was a pretty thrilling episode overall. The action sequences were very well handled and I can't wait to see how this huge dilemma for Hyakki will conclude. Looking forward to the next episode! |
| Cowards. They're all a bunch of cowards, ganging up on Hyakkimaru like that and taking Dororo away.

Because he is the prince and the next king of the county, he sees it as his responsibility to kill his brother . So Hyakki loses all the right to exist then? Why didn't Tahomaru when he found out about his fathers heinous crime, offer his body or better yet his fathers to the demons in the temple? Tahomaru is no hero. He's a brat who's jealous of his mother's longing for her eldest and he disguises it with a burning sense of duty. |

I sure as hell will not justify sacrificing children to demons as the way of carrying responsibility of my country. carry the responsibility of the country how? by blaming victim and just seek the easy way out thinking like that? of course ignorance is bliss and that's why karma will hit them really hard. he's just narcissistic, jealous, spoiled brat. Who tries to pretend he's hero when he's clearly a villain. I am not saying it's the right thing to do, I just said I can see where Tahomaruo is coming from. Also, yeah. You have to remember Tahoumarou is just 15-16 years old kid who thinks he is some hero who is destined to save the country by killing the EVIL "which is his brother" when the situation is much bigger than that. |
| It was such a great idea the way they used the horse to try and blow up Hyakkimaru, that samurai is no joke. Amazing episode as usual, getting ready for that feels ending |
