vipergod said: Gnop2 said: No it's not accurate, it only means "big brother". The lengths they went to in order not to translate that word properly was certainly impressive in its own way. Great episode, btw. @praisethevillain we dont have a proper translation for aniki in English(not that i know of), its means "Big brother" in Japaneses but its different from"nii-san" etc its referring to a senior person or a leader that u like alot(something like father in mafia), more like "Bro" but with more respect. i think using his name instead of "big brother" is better or maybe using the word "aniki" without translation even translating some thing like (nee-san, nii-san) is a problem, when a Japanese person call her/his brother-sister "ne-san ,ni-san" its normal! but in English its weird cuz ppl don't call their sibling by their position in eng they usually use their name. its really rare to see someone say "hey brother come over here" , the vibe changes in eng! Interesting. I was wondering what the differences were between those two. So Aniki is used in place of Nii-San when it's not their actual blood relative, but a fellow male they look up to and respect? Kind of like how in English some people call their good friends bro? Makes sense to me. It was just strange that they changed it for this translation because I remember when I first watched Gurren Lagann (at least the version I watched) Simon called Kamina "Aniki" and they translated it to "big bro" or just "bro". So I wondered why they didn't do it here. It doesn't bother me either way, just something I noticed. Thanks for the info! |

| when the girl showed up and i watched her singing and protecting those kids and working over night...i guessed that she does these kinds of things and damn it feels awful to realize that you were right at the end :D :| |
 |
| I guess someone's getting another prosthetical leg. |
 |
| Seeing how the anime goes so far I wouldn't be surprised if Mio and the kids get killed somehow. In fact the selling point of this anime for me is indeed the sadism. |

praisethevillain said: DeeAngel said: Exactly my question... Though remember in episode 2 hen he understood that Dororo wanted to know his name? Thus he wrote it in the the ground. Maybe he has some talent to understand? Or there was some method that Jukai taught him though we don't know how... Because when he told him that "Hyakkimaru" was his name he understood that. xD That's probably the case. I'm guessing Jukai taught him somehow or that's just part of his special abilities. Perhaps we will find out in the next episode when he speaks? Yeah...or it will be another detail that won't be explained because they're rushing this... If Hyakkimaru starts speaking out of nowhere it will be a a sudden surprise if without any explanation... Sushantbro said: DeeAngel said: Yea this adaptation is rushed instead of 25 demons there will be 12 demons.It is just me or I felt this episode quite rushed? Not so many actions in battle, the sudden voice recovering and many things happening at the same time? Sounded like episode 4 somehow... But overall it was a great episode as always! Love how they make detailed the adaptations of Hyakkimaru to the world of humanity! Yes I know that fact, but what I don't understand is why they're making 24 episodes and are rushing so much when there are only 12 demons. I know there's more than just the demons but I think they didn't need that. Unless the informations I took from 3 places about having 24 episodes are fake. x'D CCC47 said: DeeAngel said: 3 to the boat...xD I didn't expect that coming as well though I found strange when she said she was "working to the soldiers at night", but I thought it could be just helping them with wounds or so...since she knew very well how to take care of Hyakkimaru. (the covering part I thought she was just embarrassed that he could "see" something lol) But oh well...though it wasn't a big surprise seeing her in the end doing that, it was still something I wasn't expecting. The one that really shocked me was the right leg of Hyakkimaru... It is just me or I felt this episode quite rushed? Not so many actions in battle, the sudden voice recovering and many things happening at the same time? Sounded like episode 4 somehow... But overall it was a great episode as always! Love how they make detailed the adaptations of Hyakkimaru to the world of humanity! Make that 4 people who didn't see it coming lol! I thought that maybe she was doing watch duty at the border or something, but I was clearly wrong. I agree @DeeAngel that it did feel a little rushed in this episode... Yes! Exactly! And yes, the first 3 episodes looked pretty balanced while the last 2 were too many things happening without pauses or meaning for them to happen, principally the sudden appearances and disappearances of the monk... |
| When your child loses his leg again ): |
| i knew mio was selling herself from the moment she tried to hide herself from hyakkimaru. it hit deep, especially bc she's doing it for the sake of the children she takes care of. the situation is disturbing in itself, then add dororo finding out the way he did with him being just a child makes me *extremely* uncomfortable. but i signed for a dark story and i got it so i'll just.. deal with it. hyakkimaru got his voice this time! excited to see how he's going to be with it now |
 |
| In some way, you're still correct though. She is raped by the tragic reality she is living in, which is really saddening and frustrating. :( It really cought me off guard how this series turned out to be this dark. |

So I wondered why they didn't do it here. It doesn't bother me either way, just something I noticed. Thanks for the info! In our culture, it's considered disrespectful to call someone older than you directly by their name, or even with a "hey" or "you". I think this is also the case with Japanese and many other Asian countries, while the opposite does with English and Western nations. Hence, the alteration in translation. Also, the word "aniki" Dororo uses indeed literally means 'big brother' as in a blood-related siblings. It's a different form of the (today's) usual "o-nii-san". The same goes for "aneki" and "o-nee-san" for older sister. |

| Dororo just aired the episode of the year so far. So much plot twist. She's a sex doll which I predicted when she said she was looking for a job to those guys. And I'm pretty sure every job was the same. The music probably helps her forget. Hyakkimaru gets his voice but loses a leg that he is never getting back. Boy. This show know what risking your life means. 5/5 |
| I think it's pretty funny when looking at the comment thread how many people were blindsided by Mio's profession or think that she got raped. The 10-20 hints they gave during this episode wasn't enough for some. |
| Man this episode was brutal. Knew she was a prostitute, the signs are clear but the reveal is still shocking all the same. Man it seems like now every time Hyakkimaru gains something he's gonna experience something horrible in return. The first sound he heard was a woman crying and now his first sound are cry's of unbearable agony as his leg was torn off. Miss-Grindet said: 4/5 for this episode ... wished that Hyakkimaru got his sight instead of his voice For people who say mio got raped,it isn't rape when you're giving yourself voluntary ..... she is a prostitute and they re soldiers in war .... what i don't understand is how can a girl prostitute herself for kids she just met in war?? she makes me puke and sry but can't feel sad for her. here is a fact: at least one of your ancestors got raped :D (for the 1/5 guys) She's just a kind and empathetic woman, most likely orphaned herself who desires to give these kids who have nothing a home & family. Jesus its not that hard to understand & wow that rape comment was not funny. |
| I used to be a watchmaker. |
| God damn it, I knew what was coming at the end, since the beginning, but I still wasn't ready. I imagine next episode they're going to show more of her getting raped, maybe tied up and constantly used throughout the entire episode. I know they'll make it even darker, the enemy soldiers will find out she's also working for the other soldiers and that's the end for her. Gonna be a tough watch for me. Fuck, I can't do rape scenes in anime. |

| Biwamaru was so badass bringing down that bigass bird ghoul! Seems like Hyakkimaru is having a hard time adapting all the sound he has never heard before! for sure that girl is voiced by VA goddess Nana Mizuki! Doroo's a lot of help for Hyakkimaru & others! but damn! Dororo has seen quite an unpleasant shocking scene from the girl selling her body. DAMN! next is Hyakkimaru regained voice back! dis gonna be good! but it was brutal his legs got decapitated again! 5/5. |
 |
| Well that's fucked up, I'm starting to adore this series, one of bleak and depressing arc of the story as I remember |

haydee82 said: Osamu Tezuka has adapted to manga Crime and punishment by Dostoevsky. Mio reminds me of Sônia Marmeladova and both have a heart of gold and sacrifice for others. In spite of her profession, Mio's heart is pure because it is good, because it has not been corrupted by dark sentiments. Mio deserved a happy end as happened to Sonia at the end of Crime and punishiment. When you said that, Mio is really similar to Sonia. I didn't think of that. Sonia and Mio are both girls that deserved better. From the start I had suspicion what was Mio job but I still hoped that I was wrong. And I'm really worried about Hyakkimaru's leg. He only Just got it! I hope that his leg will regenerate like some people wrote. |

| I felt so bad for Mio really. This series is becoming better and better every episode. |
Miss-Grindet said: Slimcoder said: She's just a kind and empathetic woman, most likely orphaned herself who desires to give these kids who have nothing a home & family. Jesus its not that hard to understand & wow that rape comment was not funny. LOL, so you will give yourself to prostitution for people you don't even know or need ?? Jesus is just in your imagination, there is no empathetic person in war, because i lived it and i know how it works... Wow you are just a cynical & pessimistic individual. |
| I used to be a watchmaker. |
| Pretty great episode, but holy fuck dude |
| “I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy |
| Hyakkimaru regain his nervous system, immediately feel pain Hyakkimaru regain his hearing, immediately hear someone cry Hyakkimaru regain his voice, immediately start to scream Poor guy can't catch a break |
| Damn! Getting your voice back at the cost of your leg. Also, Hyakkimaru getting his original body parts back seems to make him go weaker each time. ;__; |

And just because you think it feels rushed doesn't mean it actually is. The pacing is just fine so far imo. I know it was confirmed on those websites however we get surprises time to time. As I said, "It is just me or?" that means I'm solely giving my opinion, so accept that as well I accept your opinion. For me the pacing could be a bit slower to be a bit better. If for you is ok, then good for you. :) However this doesn't mean I dislike the series, otherwise I wouldn't give a note of 9. Sushantbro said: That's good more episodes=more fun https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dororo This one and the two he gave were the 3 websites I saw that information. And this way I can also say the same as you. More fun coming. :D |

| So, Hyakkimaru got is voice back, but lose her lower leg :( Mio is cute, and i liked her interacttions with hyakkimaru! I am shocked, of course i suspected about Mio with "working at night", but i was hoping for not being the case! Poor Mio! It really let me sad and on nerves! |
 |
| Lol predicted she was a prostitute when she was washing herself in the river and saying she works at night for the army gave it away too. Decent episode tho I'm not really feeling these episodic stories, have to forgive it because it's an old ass manga |
