| This one is probably going to be one of my favorite animes from this season. |
| So this time Hyakkimaru's ears are back! and of course hearing senses are back! even if it's just that sense, he'll be a much more great killing machine! awesome episode btw! 5/5. |

Ascendrio said: This episode felt like it was rushed for me, and it went dark and depressing quickly. This might happen because of how the anime shortened Hyakkumaru’s body parts from 48 to 12 (episodes) The action sequence was pretty great, so a bonus point for that! I also realized that the old blind man isn’t in the episode, but I wasn’t really paying attention to him anyways. I also like how Hyakkumaru got his hearing ability, so I’m really curious about what will happen in the next episode. You see...the more body parts given back to Hyakkumaru, the more I’m interested to see more episodes. For my opinion, it was a decent episode. I’ll rate it 3.9/5. I’m still expecting a better episode than this, cause this episode was the weakest one so far. I agree that this episode felt a bit rushed and is definitely not as strong as the previous episodes. The blind man must have gone off somewhere, although it's odd the episode didn't show where he went off to. Also, isn't this series running for 24 episodes? |

| All in all, It was a good episode. It felt a bit rushed regarding Osushi finding her brother exactly in the same episode she was introduced but it wasn't a big deal either. However, the thing I wonder is where the blind monk went... Anyways, regarding the episode, the concept of a demonic sword was quite interesting to see and not to mention that the action sequences were nicely done as well, I really enjoyed them. And also, I must say that the scene where Hyakkimaru regained his sense of hearing was very well handled and quite depressive at the same time, since the first thing he heard was a woman crying in grief under the rain... I also felt bad for Osushi... that last scene with the two paper cranes on the "shrine" where she was praying at the beginning of the ep. gave me the uneasy feeling that she killed herself after her brother died... honestly, I hope I'm wrong about that. |
| Another great episode, right until the end, I'm not a fan of him randomly encountering demons that happen to be the ones that took his body parts, there needs to be a way for him to identify those demons from the others or else it becomes plot armor. |

Still wonder, how Hyakkimaru can fight so well without any senses. And still be able to recognize Dororo, or she was just lucky this time!? To me it seems like MC was never aiming at the person wielding the sword and rather went for the sword itself, and the sword only. That's why Dororo wasn't killed (also, considering she was hardly fighting back MC managed to disarm her). White hair dude got killed because he was a skilled swordsman and it was impossible for MC to stop his sword after parrying+cutting through his opponents cursed sword (too much power on the blow and too little time and space to stop after the contact was made).Though in the end the sister of the white hair dude realized that her brother wanted to be killed (deserved death) - I still doubt that MC wanted to kill the dude. Remember, he also didn't kill the guy protecting that demon lady. |
| Another beautiful episode despite containing tragedy, as expected of this anime. |
| Can't wait for the next episode I want to see Hyakki to be able to listen Dororos voice for the first time! |
| The sword was cursed but i guess the guy that had wasn't innocent, or maybe after so many killings, it possessed him. He got his ears back! |

| Tbh this episode made me think of the Benizakura arc from Gintama with that cursed sword. I felt kinda sorry for that dude, being forced to kill all those people. By the end of it all, his old self was completely gone. Even with him being freed from the swords grasp, he knew there was no hope for himself, so he decided he wanted to be taken down by Hyakkimaru. At least his sister got to spend a few moments with her brother. Also, Hyakkimaru got his ears back! It’s really sad that the first thing he hears is the sound of a woman crying:/ |
| Now Hyakkimaru can hear. It feels a bit convenient that she just finds her brother lol. |

| I'm pretty sure that her brother wanted to die, he even smiled when Hyakkimaru cut him. Poor guy. I thought Hyakkimaru was going to take the sword, it would be nice to see him using that sword. |

So I've waited a while for the anime to finally reveal this, and while i did take a quick look through future posts I might have missed one that addresses this comment. My point is, While i do kinda feel silly for not seeing this sooner as there is other evidence, the honest answer is you spoiled this for me a month ago and I've been a little salty every since. |

| This episode was so confusing at the beginning: last ep we saw Dororo and Hyakkimaru in company of the old man and now those two are in some girls' house. Aside from that, it was interesting and Hyakki even unlocked (?) a new ability. However, I found it kinda dumb from Dororo's part to pick the sword, although he didn't believe it was cursed. |
 |
| It makes for such a great episode conclusion to have Hyakkimaru gain back a part of his body, you know there is going to be a day when our boy will have it all, I probably am going to tear up if he was to let out some words from his mouth at some point. I wonder what his father could have been planning to do at the end of this episode. |
| Osushi's onii-chan was too far into Nihiru's bottomless bloodlust so he was pretty much a hopeless cause since he had fully embraced the accursed sword with both mind and body for so long. That smile he let out when Hyakkimaru put him down strongly implies that his death finally relieveed him of his burden. He got his ears back but I suppose that torrential rain and sobs of mourning weren't really the best things to hear for the very first time. |
 |
| Is it only a coincidence that he's running into these demons that took his body? Anyway now that he can hear, maybe he needs to learn sign language lol |
 |
| Hyakkimaru got his hearing back. |
 |
| A cursed sword, that's a classic. He can hear now! |
 |
| Oh good! Hyakkimaru gained real ears! Nice! Great episode ^^ |

| Bit of a boring episode. Didn't care for the possessed guy, had his personality not gone full darkside so quickly and actually showed signs of not enjoying murdering random people then it would've been much easier to empathize with him. Also, why the hell did Dororo grab the sword when the guy had already stated that it was a cursed lol. |
 |
| Dororo said 'aniki' to Hyakimarru before fainting. |
| He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame. |
| That sword literally be bloodthirsty! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Glad that Hyakkimaru git his ears back, just sad that the first thing he hears is a sound of grief. |
| Dororo is quite the dumbass for picking up the sword after hearing it's cursed and the lord is an even bigger dumbass to give that sword in the first place. Well nice that Hyakkimaru can hear again with the first thing he hears being the rain and cries like when he was just born...don't know if that's a good thing because now he has to hear Dororo's constant rambling... |
 |
| I like how everything is connecting but damn it feels a bit dragged out for them backstories. But its kinda fun seeing hyakimura get a level up lolz. |
