THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Damn, magic contracts and devils. That's deep stuff. The Blue Night arc got even bloodier with the development events.

Nikaidou looks badass as hell with that mask on. Idk why but I kinda found the fan service rather amusing this episode.

Didn't expect Nikaido to actually become En's partner very fast. This show always surprises me with its turn of event.

Also, Shin should recognize Kusukabe right?? he didn't change at all since he fixed Shin's arms.

I never said it's bad to be honest. But since i've already read the manga i prefer to give more attention to the songs, which are great.

This is the first episode where I feel they could have taken a bit more time with telling the story. But that's just nitpicking. Still enjoying this solid adaptation of the manga immensely. I love the bright colour palette they're using to illustrate this world
"Perhaps there is a universal, absolute truth. Perhaps it justifies every question. But that's beyond the reach of these small hands." Mamoru Oshii

There is just so much happening in one single episode of this show. I would not have minded a whole episode dedicated to devil contract and the meaning of the blue night.

Also, it would be reall interesting to finally see how Nikaido's ability works.. She would have surely resisted and used it, if she could have.

read the manga, then. There's bunch of extra content that's super fun and lore-heavy. Tho Dorohedoro lore can get pretty whacky and downright stupid at times, but that's the charm of it! just wait til they flesh out chidaruma and the devil gang, they are a hoot!

Never seen a contract signed like THAT before

That was an intense ep. It really created the atmosphere for the next one

We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths.
As death comes to embrace you, you will realise what you are.
That's what death is, don't you think?

After this episode, I can say that: "HELL YASSS!" to gory and violence in the most grittest way, it's even better in anime form, really glad that the anime adaptation is getting better.

Nikaido fighting off against En's form, but that's not even enough for her to end up facing the true terror of a human sorcerer. Even as someone who has great magic that's sought after by others, En raking in a partner such as Nikaido is bad news for Caiman.

And man, that scene of the Devil's Contract was disturbing, but in the most comical and senseful way. With that, the Blue Night is over, even confirming that En is using Nikaido as means to capture Caiman.

Meanwhile, the lonely Caiman has help from his other workplace colleagues to help find more Cross-Eyed people to scour the man in his mouth. Unluckily, with En's capture of Nikaido, Caiman has no choice but to rescue her. Even as Fujita wants to exact revenge for Matsumura, he has to let it go.

Exhilarating episode, now this is what the manga is made of, and MAPPA took it another level, which is nothing short of excellent.

Dang RIP sensei, that's what is so great about this show, you never know who is going to be randomly offed at any time, and wouldn't be a great episode with lots of random dismemberments, and mushrommments. What's worse having your leg chopped off or turned into a mushroom? Guess it's better than your head. Last few episodes it seemed En's gang weren't that bad now it looks like they're right back to being the bad guys. I hope Caiman gets Nikaido back, don't like seeing her like this.
Ebisu is still a riot. And another new ED cool. Best show of the new year so far. Really wish this was 2 cour, or gets a second season. (edit: oh well at least we are getting 6 OVAs with the Blu-ray release)

They're not random, they're sorcerers who come to experiment on innocent people.

Not all of them. For example, the flying carpet dude aka taxi driver and the smoke shop owner were just doing their job for a living.

Also, this is the first thing Caiman said when he entered the sorcerers' world:

there are no morals in dorohedoro, so no "good guys" or "bad guys".
Just "team En" and "Team Kaiman" (so far, at least)...

Try to not get into a morality-based thought process because you are NOT going to enjoy this story that way.

It was good to se some of Nikaido back story, but I think she is hiding some kind of super saiyan power or some and I'd like to see more of her origins.
In other news, I don't know why I never se this anime nor anyone of it's characters in the top lists of specialized sites, I think is totally underated

Being stuck in Japanese Netflix jail really hurts series ability to gain word of mouth. Also many big websites only review/talk about series available legally and in English. Will have to wait until Netflix outside Japan gets the show and then we'll be blessed with a single article full season review and that'll be it.

The devil contract looks a bit gross but it was interesting. Nikaido and the rest (except Caiman) were completely defeated by our others main protagonists lol. More clues about the mystery of the person inside Caiman. Pretty good.

4/5
All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath.
