| Hyakkimaru killing all the soldiers was really satisfying |
| Right in the feels, mio :( |
 |
| the slaughter was unexpected but once it was revealed she was doing business with both sides of the war, that was a big red flag right there. oh man...his first words were mio. that hurt like a bitch, i was really hoping to see more between those two. once hyakkimaru found out they were the ones who killed her and he went berserk, that was fucking epic. really loving this story more than i thought i would. |

_MushiRock11_ said: Esquirtit said: @_MushiRock11_ last episode hyakkimaru gained his voice back by defeating the demon but I think it survived because it bit his leg off, this time he killed him and got his leg back. so the demon had his voice at first but traded it with hyakkimarus leg Oh, that’s an interesting way to look at things. But I don’t think it’d explain why he was able to retain both of these features after defeating the demon, right? What do you mean? It makes perfect sense. He had a leg but no voice, defeating a demon brings back a part of him. At first the demon traded the voice for a leg, so now he had a voice but no leg. He defeats the demon, regaining the leg. |
| RIP Mio :( Watch this episode at midnight Now i can't sleep |

| Damn. Hyakkimaru really had to endure some serious and tragic shit. First thing he heard was girl crying over the corpse of her dead brother. First thing he said was cry of pain. And now, the first thing he saw... |
 |
| Jesus fucking Christ... |
| Wow, that slaughter was 10/10 material. Has been a while since I've seen such a rage scene. I'm sad, fuck those soldiers ;_; Piromysl said: Damn.

And now, the first thing he saw... Eh, he hasn't recovered his sight yet. If that's what you mean |

| Damn... what an episode. Sad, beautiful and intense ;_; it's been a while since an anime made me feel so engaged and even brought me on the verge of tears... OOF. |
| Another top tier episode, holy fuck that action scene was nice |

| Hyakkimaru was really cute this episode. Despite his size, he was being taken of by a little girl and a small boy. The way Dororo shoved food into Hyakki's mouth was adorable. Mio had bruises all over her body. Her "customers" must be quite violent. That one kid who gave everyone a death-flag by talking about their dream to a main character! Hyakkimaru's leg is back. I thought he'd killed that monster last episode and got his voice in return, while paying for it with his leg. I liked Mio and the kids. So sad they died. They were really nice people. Hyakki slayed those people. I wasn't expecting him to do it the way he did. Didn't like that Dororo stopped him, but I can understand why he did. Are those murderers from Hyakki's father's place? If so, the lone survivor looks like he'll cause some great complications. |
| oh that left me really sad..... they did not deserve to die |
 |
| Well, I knew this was going to have a dramatic ending. Sooner or later Mio was going to die of fatigue and sickness, although deep down I wanted her to have a happy ending and not this one. Dororo had to let Aniki kill that bastard. I'm sure he'll show up later for revenge. |
 |
| well shit, that's to be expected when you're visiting both rivaling camps. eventually, that was bound to happen. still confused how she could move so easily between the camps while they said that they kill anyone considering them a spy anyways, that berserk scene was quite nice tho |
 |
| Phenomenal episode. That fight scene and those feels were so strong. |
| Knew it was going to end badly, still really hard to watch |
| I haven’t seen this many dead kids since the lost children arc. |
| Brutal, terrible and so unfair. The slaughter of those poor children was something I did not see coming. I was shocked at the graphic nature of it too. This show is so well done. Im not familiar with the source material, but I can already tell that its heading to a brutal encounter with his family. |

| I kinda knew they gonna be killed off from the story but still this is so tragic. I felt very sorry for Mio and the other war orphans... |
_MushiRock11_ said: A statue did not break last episode so he did not kill the demon. the demon but his leg and hyaki did not finish it. he got his voice back cause the demon took his leg instead. so when he killed the demon he got his leg back and his voice stayedEsquirtit said: @_MushiRock11_ last episode hyakkimaru gained his voice back by defeating the demon but I think it survived because it bit his leg off, this time he killed him and got his leg back. so the demon had his voice at first but traded it with hyakkimarus leg Oh, that’s an interesting way to look at things.

She should not be shocked at this point lol| It was really sad to watch, it ended in a tragic way! Honestly, it was painfull to watch! R.I.P Mio and other kids! :( I knew she working in both sides will end up like that! Hyakkimaru managed to kill the demon, Hyakkimaru going berserk against those soldier was so satisfying, animation was also awesome! Hyakkmaru first word was Mio, it touched me! |
 |
| This is one of the few grimdark anime where the bleakness feels completely natural and doesn't come across as juvenile shock value. Anime studios and authors should take note... |
| Should i choose the animation extravaganza of Mob Psycho 100? Should i choose the Thriller and the Horror of The Promised NeverLand? Should i choose The Comedy and Visuals of Love is War? Should i choose a Shield Boy and his Racoon? Or maybe have i just been struck by a series that mixes beautiful pieces of storytelling,symbolism and a great atmosphere of "quiet and relaxing suffering"? DoRoRo continues to be good and continues to surprise AwesomeAlfie27 approves |
| May our sweet and Merciful Madoka be with you |
| I can't say that I didn't see it coming, but it still hurts. I was so relieved when Dororo didn't judge or expose Mio after what he saw. Instead he joined the pieces and understood her fight. He knew she did it in order to survive, and protect the other kids. She said she wasn't ashamed of her work, but she didn't want Hyakkimaru to look at her soul because she thought it was "filthy", if only he could have told her just how white it was. Dororo also finally talked a bit about his mother, like she would do anything but what Mio is doing, which ended up with her death. Maybe for malnutrition, I don't know. So like Mio said: she was admirable, but like Dororo said: so was Mio for staying alive. Their talk was so meaningful, just like her dream of having a rice paddy with the kids. It makes it all the more hard to accept the way things ended. Dororo said she "didn't lose," and that's how he stopped Hyakkimaru's rampage. But how I wish things were different. Those soldiers killing those mutilated, defenseless children like it was nothing, it's so infuriating. It's also like they took pleasure in doing it, and I do hope that the guy who survived won't bring trouble to Hyakkimaru and Dororo later on; and I do understand why Dororo stopped Hyakkimaru, but it's so frustrating. War took everything they had, but they still lived on, fighting for a better life. Yet, now, war took even their lives and their chances of having a better future. |

| This anime is something else. This episode in particular was powerful and sad. I don't usually like dark shows but this has be hooked. Very touching that Hyakkimaru first word was Mio. |
| MIO NOOOOOO! She was my favorite ;_; Rest in peace, sweet Mio. I'm not even ashamed to say I'm still kind of crying as I'm typing this. So needless to say, this was a tragic and brutal episode. I still didn't want to believe she was dead, but it truly hit me when they showed the graves then the credits rolled. Hyakkimaru's berserk moment was exciting and very well animated, but damn what a mix of emotions that scene makes you feel. His visceral screams really gave me chills. His first word was Mio, a beautiful yet tragic beginning to the use of his reclaimed voice. I can't believe they murdered the children as well, how awful. I should probably stop watching this at work.. The episode felt very quickly paced but I liked the things they threw in like the villagers plight and the scene with Hyakkimaru's brother (I forget his name). Especially Mio's dream of having her own rice field. It really went far to build the world more, and it made that scene at the end hit that much harder. I really thought they'd at least be able to save Mio... I am confused as to how Hyakkimaru got his voice back if he didn't actually kill the demon in the first part. Then he killed it and it gave back his leg that it ate and he still got to keep his voice? I'm just not sure how exactly this body reclaiming thing works, but I don't need to if it's a spoiler. I hope they're able to carry out Mio's dream... Overall my favorite but the saddest episode so far. 10/10 will definitely watch again. |

| This episode was.....just on another level of depression. |
