| Damn this episode, really sad about the girl and Hyakkimaru too. Has he's touch back in the ep before and already feels what it's like to lose his leg in a really painful way... and his voice back only adds to that. The girl... what a sad and cruel reality in those times. |
Esquirtit said: Lol predicted she was whore when she was washing her pussy 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 Nice catch, I didn't realize she's washing her pussy, |

| Why everyone so upset about her being a prostitute? |
| “You should enjoy the little detours to the fullest. Because that's where you'll find the things more important than what you want.” |
| Well, now that was depressive as shit... not only for Mio's situation but also for Hyakkimaru regaining his voice and the first thing that leaves his mouth were screams of pure agony because he lost a limb. And regarding Mio, I already supposed what was that "job" she was doing from the start but as someone already said, it really sucks when that assumption becomes a realization. I really feel bad for her and the kids, I just hope them to be safe during the upcoming war but I have this pessimistic feeling that this all will only conclude in tragedy. Other than that, due to the emotions the episode made me feel, I have to say it really did a very good job. |
Sushantbro said: From where did you get that information? honestly, I can see it being a 24 episode series. Heck, i can see it being a 60-90 episode series like rurouni kenshin. I mean it's basically this generation's rurouni kenshin. |
 |
| If he cut his leg, then he is going backwards. That was really careless of Hyakkimaru, so he will have to grow it back. I'm glad he has his voice though. |

DeeAngel said: praisethevillain said: 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: Yea this adaptation is rushed instead of 25 demons there will be 12 demons. 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: 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... Yeah the monk keeps coming and going, which threw me off more in episode 4 (like lol where did he go??) And @Sushantbro I hope it is more than 12 or 13 episodes! I feel they'd really have to rush it to complete it in that amount of time. |

| Who didn't see that coming? I couldn't imagine her "work" being anything else after she said its at night. |
 |
| Interesting take on the "love interest" story... but I prefered the 69 flashback (eps 4-5?) even though it was itself so-so. This Mio was... creepy. Her child-like super-smooth face on a big body and living dead look kept disturbing me the whole episode. So, the fief disasters are confirmed to have to do with Hyakkimaru's restoration. 3/5 (laughing at those comments about "rape") @akihikosama Rewind the thread, you'll be surprised. |

A lot of it seemed more like wishful thinking or just denial lol. |
|
| Loved this episode! It's kind of sad how he lost his leg after regaining it though. I wonder if it's possible to regrow it still? Hyakkimaru is able to regain his senses/limbs but there's nothing that says he can regenerate them once they're severed. |
nightcrawlercyp said: HopbeeK said: There was the possibility, but in the original anime the girl was actually a girl that took care of orphan children and was killed in a fire started by soldiers along with the children. This is something that it happened before meeting Dororo and was more emotional than this version. The downside is the original anime gives Hyakkamaru more superpowers like telepathy and I think this version wants to get rid of these- Guess I'm the only anime-only fan that thought Mio in the OP was Dororo's grown version (and somehow speculating Hyakkimaru would not age due to his abnormal situation) - Very sad story of Mio, not sure if she could stay long since she only has a few cameos in the OP but not ED -Great progress of Hyakkimaru becoming a human: gaining sense of hearing, expression, voice and sense of pain. Character development as he insists to fight for a better home for Mio and the children, despite his wounds. This "humanizing" progress reminds me of Katanagatari, which the protagonist also slowly develops from a "weapon" to a full human being throughout the story. -Side note: Deepest sympathy to Dororo: Hyakkimaru covering his ear upon hearing her voice just after Mio left despite all the care Dororo has done in the episodes up to date. Um sorry I got a bit lost. Are you referring to the 1969 anime? Then is the 1969 anime sticking more to the original manga in terms of the sequence of events? I'm also a bit lost on the sequence of events: And btw, |

| He barely had time with his leg and already lost it 💀 |
Sangaz said: Dunno how anyone wouldn't have been able to guess her job. What other job would she have at a soldier's camp. They're not going to give up their rations to her for washing a few pots... Felt sorry for her but didn't really think poorly of the soldiers (except maybe they could have had the courtesy to go one at a time). Those soldiers are just waiting to hear a horn blow and thats it, they're charging through a field and having their guts spill out. i had a slicest idea of what she was working at late night but never really gave a thought that was prostitution. Coming to an understand it would be the first thing to across tbh. I mean what would a poor woman do to sustain all those kids alone? |

XD And in this episode he appeared and I replied to what the monk said for being a coincidence: What a really good coincidence eh? Though Dororo replied good as they tried to make things natural by saying he's weird and find him time to time. xD And yes, it's confirmed to be 24 episodes! So...let's have more fun! :D I just hope they don't cut at the middle to air the rest of the twelve next year only lol. |
shiro_kai said: Is she working or getting raped? I don't get it. Cause if she was just working there, would be no need to other two guys hold her. She should probably not have gone there. Basically it's just prostitution. It's hard to define whether it's rape or not. If she makes consent to let herself being fucked in return for something, then it's really not rape. I know she doesn't want to, but it's for survival. |
Ysad_Ziwezhan said: "Working for soldiers" I feared the worst ... and it was the worst. This anime doesn't spare anyone. Rape with the context being done right. At war time which human life worth like dust, the only thing a homeless girl like that can do is selling her body. This is very realistic portrayed of war. If someone call this edgy, they're probably really naive or childish. |
Night_Shifter said: Paul said: Did you notice what she was doing in the river when they first met. That was the first sign...Sucks when you actually guess right about something that you don't want to happen. When the kid says she only works at night, first thing that to mind was selling herself. The part where she was trying to cover herself up when Dororo said he could see the color of her soul only added more to it. Definitely overlooked that as I didn't expect her situation til the boy mentioned her work. My mind probably thought she was just cleaning clothes or something without noticing she wasn't holding anything to begin with. Who'd have known she was cleaning something else the first time. |

| Did people seriously not realise she worked as a whore when she said she works at night for the army... |
| So he gets back his voice, and then loses his real foot/leg. This kid can't catch a break, can he? Also, Mio's job was pretty clear from the beginning. She works at night for the soldiers. The way she adjusted her collar when Hyakkimaru seemed to be "looking" at her. etc. |
     |
| Wow, this show just keeps getting better and better. Felt really bad for Mio, seems like she sings to herself to try and keep herself mentally stable. Loved the juxtaposition between Hakakimaru and Mio at the end, where one was screaming while the latter was trying to keep as silent and composed as possible |

| That ending.....i knew it would be something related to this... but it was still sad :/ |

| "There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| WOW, each episode I get more and more in love with this anime, I love how they translated the colors and the atmosphere of those times in Japan. Also, it impressed me they started giving some hints about what Mio does for a job, including the red kimono and reversed obi. |
| Poor Mio. War is rough man. Hope she get a happy ending though it seems unlikely. Poor Hyakimaru. The first sound he heard was a girl crying for his dead brother. And he gain his voice to crying his pain. The Monk is still badass as usual |
| Had an idea she was mature in that sort of way from the river scene but turned into almost surety that she was a prostitute when night job was mentioned n latter when Hyakkimaru looked at her and requested her to sing. Wonder how Hyakki will recover the lost part of his leg tho, that was unexpected. |
