| This was a decent episode, but so much of it was just repeating questions and platitudes that the series has been exploring all along, without adding much new to the discussion. Hopefully the finale proves conclusive and doesn't just obsess over philosophical platitudes in the least subtle fashion imaginable. |
| rip to the horsie (again) |

ArcturusMi said: EckhartPilgrim said: Really? Hyakki retrieving his body parts caused suffering to the entire Daigo.So by pursuing Hyakkimaru, Tahomaru's actions led to: - the demonization of the horse, thus the killing of many soldiers of Daigo's land; - the death of both his servants/friends; - the fire of hos own castle. And he's still saying that the one destroying the land is Hyakkimaru? Come on. It's the opposite. Hyakki becoming an unwilling sacrifice caused prosperity to the entire land. They were suffering before anyways, retrieving the body parts just marks the end of that contract. Ahomaru had easy childhood thanks to his big bros sacrifice. By refusing to let go of this, people like him caused additional unneeded suffering. In summary - humanking is ungrateful scum which should be extinct already. |

Also those villagers that has been on screen for like two episodes by now, i hope they are somehow part of Dororo and her treasure sublot. What do you mean? Hyaka deserves what's his, you should fight for what is yours. That prosperity wasn't a fruit of their labour. It would be a different story if someone was undoing a self-sacrifice. Here here! Daigo should rot for messing with demons. Hyakki is the right party. He just needs to not turn demonic RainyShadow said: ArcturusMi said: Really?

I too felt the excitement of them dying. But now it kinda feels disgusting. Even though they walked the path of cruelty for their savior their lord, they were human after all. RIP Hyogo and Mutsu, The siblings that were too loyal to be evil. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |

| The end is nigh. Could it be a tragic ending like the manga, or just a bittersweet ending like the 1969 anime? Either way, we can all expect full existentialism. |
| That horse is brutal lol. RIP her, Hyogo and Mutsu. Well, Hyakkimaru got his arms back. So, the show will end with the fight between the two brothers. Also, what will Jukai do'? Is Daigo going to die in the war? |

| Gosh, I cannot believe there is only one episode left wow This was a great episode~! |
| The nerve and entitlement of Tahomaru, and his retainers, I swear. Saying that Hyakkimaru's body was "never his", and that they would take back what is "theirs". Not that I expected otherwise, but to the very end Tahomaru and Daigo couldn't see Hyakkimaru as a human being, just as the sacrificial pawn that his own "father" tried to turn him into. His "brother" also referred to him as "that thing" and worse, when he is no longer human himself, and his "father", in a similar way to before, referred to him as "demon's leftovers." Thankfully Midoro killed Hyogo and Mutsu, and Hyakkimaru got his arms back, but sadly the demon mare died in the process. At least it could see its foal one last time. I just hope Jukai, Dororo, and Hyakkimaru's mother won't do anything stupid. Tahomaru ran away to the castle because he believed he would have the advantage in an enclosed space, but hopefully Hyakkimaru is going to retrieve his eyes very soon too. Hyakkimaru didn't need to dirty his hands with Hyogo and Mutsu, but I guess there's no other way now. Hopefully Daigo will also meet his end fighting the Asakura army, and I hope Hyakkimaru's hands are fine after gripping his swords like that. |
 |
| The two assistants of Tahomarou got beaten up by the horse. Hyakkimaru finally obtained his arms and it was painful to see him doing sword fighting with his bleeding hands. I want that greedy Tahomarou guy to die and let his brother live. I wish Dororo and Hyakkimaru could live in peace and happiness. I still have my hope for a happy ending. |
| If the demons are causing the issues, KILLING them is the more logical solution to the problems. If it's nature, and the demons are just holding nature back, then that's not solving the issue anyway, that's just postponing it until the demons want a new sacrifice. So at worst, killing the demons lets nature take it's course. Then the humans have to work around nature, as we do IRL. That's the best solution. Anyway, this episode was lit. I'm a bit sad that we didn't have Hyakkimaru going around getting 48 body parts from 48 demons like in the original source, but this is also a very satisfying adaptation (thus far, obvs). Cutting it down seems to have worked well for the production overall. I'm super hyped for next week's finale but also sad that it's coming to end. One of the only two shows currently airing that I really really look forward to anymore... (Kimetsu being the other one, if anyone is curious) |

| I liked that Horse man, it was so badass and very beautiful. Wish it didn't have to die! Can't wait for the last episode, a week is a decade! |

| Best fucking ep of the show right here, The persistent sense of dread, the lengthy and extremely brutal battle between hyakimaru and Tahomaru across a variety of setpieces, the artsy as fuck final couple minutes, and finally topping it off with hyakimaru losing his humanity. Its a real toss up how the ending will go for hyakimaru's fate, regardless the domain is fucked beyond repair. I think hyakimaru is probably going to live but honestly I kind of want the series to end with the entire bloodline dead alongside all the demons, I dont know it feels a bit more thematically appropriate. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Neither side is right or wrong, when you think about it. However, the people have relied too much on the "artificial prosperity" of the land to where they've truly neglected how to attain something via your OWN labor. |
 |
| Great episode. It really is hard to pick sides in this, I feel bad for both of those brothers getting thrust into the position they are in. Had the circumstances been different, they would've grown up together. :( Battle sequences this episode were awesome. Finale next week, can't wait. |
 |
| This is so lame. These morons acting like villains and being obvious hypocrite. Hyakki having no personality. It's just so comedically dramatic. |
 |
| The siblings are dead! Finally! That was so satisfying to see, Hyakki finally getting his arms back. I felt bad about Rapidash though :( I don't know what Jukai is up to now and it worries me :/ So this is it, we're one episode away... To be honest, I don't care who dies at this point, I just want Hyakki to get his body back and live happily with Dororo, everyone else I don't give a damn. jrShark said: asdqua said: I've been wondering for a long time why don't Tahoumaru just offer his body instead Hmm I've been wondering about that ever since the conflict was made known. My guess is that since the pact was already made, they cannot undo, alter or break the contract. As in, during the ritual, even though the criteria can be any of the Daigo's heir, the contract was made agreed using Hyakkimaru as the sacrifice, and thus it cannot be changed. The demon themselves probably couldn't alter the pact too. Also, since most of the demons are already dead, I doubt they are able to do a re-contract with the demons using Tahomaru as the sacrifice. It might need the power of all 12 demons to initiate the pact. These are just my guess, if there's anyone with a better hypothesis or the correct info do let me know too, thanks! You may be right, it may be impossible to complete the contract without Hyakki's body, but the thing is Tahomaru didn't even try. He never thought about self sacrifice. Thanjh said: Anime's good but the characters are all stupid. How can they keep making hyakki out to be a villiain like they don't gain from him being a sacrifice. They literally have no right to complain. They can fight it but their idea that they're in the right is just stupid. Even the guy who makes the prosthetics is against hyakki taking his body back because "he'll become a demon" which is another dumb idea that characters have. He's simply taking back what's his I can't even feel sympathy for the people of daigo. I completely agree with this. I love the anime but I'm tired of it trying to push this false morality on us in every single episode. They make all this big fuss about Hyakki spilling human blood, that "it will make him lose his humanity", like he's the only one killing humans lol... Daigo sacrificed an innocent baby, his own son to the demons, ins't that inhumane? |
 |
| Excellent episode. The tension does nothing but increase at every moment. I really like how well Hyakki's dilemma is being handled so far. Nui's speech was perfect to sum it up. Now, let's see whether she will be able to do something to save both her children or not. By the way, the choreography of the fights were absolutely outstanding and the OST was on point as well. I hope the finale can have the same quality. Just one more episode. Really excited for it if I'm honest. |
| Glad because Mutsu and Hyogo died. They deserve it and I don't care about them anyway. I also want Tahomaru and Daigo dead next please. 1 episode to go omg :( I still hope Hyakkimaru can get his eyes back to see Dororo T.T |
| owkey |
| so why does hyakkimaru decide to use his arm blades and not the sword he has at his waist |
NV_ said: Imagine siding with the person trying to kill thousands for a better quality of life for himself. the thing is, he's not fighting for a better quality of life, hyakkimaru is fighting for the right to be alive. which he should have had since he was born. |
  |
| finally those two irrelevant siblings died but boy do i loath tahoumaru. he is the living example of r/entitledniceguys. |
