| I felt like this episode was just okay. Perhaps it's because of last week, but this felt very much like filler. It was an okay story, just not as interesting as the past ones have been. Still loving this anime, however. |
| Filler or not, it was a really satisfying change after last episode with Mio. I truly didn't expect a good ending but I was wrong and I'm happy with that. |
| this was so wholesome. i'm actually really glad that hyakkimaru let this one go (i'm assuming she's one of the 48) even if it cost him a body part. i'm really loving this series more than i thought i would. |
  |
| "Weak" episode, I guess it's to breathe a bit since the pace won't be able to keep up if it goes like the last episodes. Anyways, Hyakkimaru spared her because she wasn't that evil, does that mean he might not recover all limbs? Anyways I liked it to slow the pace a bit, I don't want a 12 or 24 episode series from a long manga |
| Lul women are all just spiders (except my mama) who suck the life out my fellow brothers, this ep was average and the animation and art are getting dull |
| poop |
| Great episode. Felt good after last week lol |
 |
| After such a heartbreaking episode this was a welcome one with a happy ending. I guess this is the first time that the youkai isn't "bad." She didn't kill, she won't kill, and the two of them are going to live together from now on because they came to care about each other. I liked the message that life is precious. Hyakkimaru, even after going through that pain, didn't become a monster. But I can't believe that the man just put rice into that bowl without even washing it or something after taking out the cockroach. lol |

 |
| We really needed a more lighthearted episode after the rollercoaster of the last 2 episodes. Nice happy ending for the Youkai/Human couple. Hyakkimaru's short laugh at the end was nice, I honestly can't wait for him to properly speak! |
 |
| This show really does things that touch the heart in a peculiar way though they may seem little or whatnot. All lives are equal no matter the form. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| For me it's the best episode so far. It having a happy end catched me offguard. |
| I'M SO HAPPY EVERYTHING END WELL, OH MY GOD. |

_MushiRock11_ said: Dororo mentioned something about Hyakkimaru getting his hearing back, I wonder if that was a sub mistake or just my eyes giving away there since he must’ve already gotten his ears back after that fight with accursed demon blade. Maybe Dororo was mentioning the fact that thanks to him having his hearing back he could finally listen to the man asking to not kill her, making him able to considerate the act, while in the cursed demon blade he couldn't hear the woman asking to not kill her brother, ending up killing him. :) Great refreshing episode! Finally some happy endings! I believe there are demons and ghouls separately like the old monk referred on one episode, so this was like a sweet story aside of just killing the demons episodic style. ;) Loved the final Hyakkimaru's laugh hahaha! |
| Was this in the manga at all? Unless I really rushed through it, this is all new to me. |
| What a fantastic episode, i wasn't expecting for a happy ending, i was really worried that he would kill her. But damn, what a great and happy ending (it's a compensation for the previous 2 eps). Wonder which part of Hyakkimaru's body that spider was. |

| "There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| I'm glad that the spiderwoman and that dude are alive after that. She is not evil. |

Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| Another great episode with a happy ending. Honestly we needed that change of pace after the last episode. (I still felt a pang of sadness when I saw Mio in the OP...) I like that it showed that sometimes even demons can have a human side, or that some demons are more human than others. Ohagi and the guy that was taking care of her formed a bond. We found out it was the guy that was "kidnapping" people, and he was actually helping them escape because their Lord is a terrible person apparently. He seemed like a really good person, and wasn't even scared when he saw Ohagi's true form. The big moment came when Hyakkimaru saw Ohagi's spirit change color when she showed some humanity and he spared her, showing us that he hasn't become a monster regardless of the tragedy that he's endured. So no real plot progression but some character development on Hyakkimaru's part. Honestly I liked Ohagi. For being a spider demon, she's not terrible. I love the little chuckle Hyakkimaru gave at the end, that made me smile. It's unfortunate that he didn't get a body part back this time, but maybe it's for the best as that hasn't been working out great for him anyway. |
 |
| So, it was a story of a jorougumo, a spider youkai from the folklore It is nice to see that things went well for the two, I expected Hyakki slaying her driven by his instincts. I appreciate the overall message that even insects and spiders are also life Tales about humans and nonhumans bonding into pairs and making families were a thing since ancient times... But the outcome of the nonhuman outliving their partner due being supernatural also happens, and might not be exception for today's featured couple (the guy even might die before reaching old age since he's volunteering to share his life force onwards) |

| Just an amazing emotional episode. And hyakkimaru finally laughed. |

Exactly, i thought the same. So you're telling me there are 48 parts of his body that are missing? damn! he didn't give up any parts, spider lady was a monster not a Demon/devil! and also we got 12 demons so he lost 12 parts, in original it was 48 demons but they reduced it to 12 in new series |
 |
| I'm really surprised the spider woman and the worker didn't have a tragic ending where one or both of them die. That's actually pretty touching that they escaped and got to be together. (Assuming the worker didn't die from his injuries) |
 |
| Ohagi's voice...Miyuki Sawashiro? What a nice episode. Hyakkimaru usually goes straight for the kill when he sees evil, but I noticed that when they encountered Ohagi escaping with Yajiro, he just stood there and didn't really move until Ohagi started attacking the guards. Seeing Ohagi's color change from red to a greenish color when she was tending to Yajiro shows that enemies can stop being evil in Hyakkimaru's eyes...Speaking of Hyakkimaru's eyes, if he regains his vision, will he lose his ability to see evil intent ala Daredevil? |
 |
| After emotionally taxing episode last week I am glad we got one with a happy ending and a nice message. |
Does say so on the page for this anime here as well. |
 |
| good to see hyakki control his bloodlust. |
| So, the beast was evil (red aura) as long as it was simply feeding to survive and is not when it cares for another being? ... This was a mandatory passage for thins kind of story but for a newly created episode, it felt pretty old and common. 3/5 Hime03 said: Liked the ep. Predictable story-expect the happy ending. It really does seem like a kids show sometimes, like the 1969 one. In wich way was the 1969 series a children series? (wasn't it a family TV show, given the airing time?) @luinthoron There were 48 parts in the original story and its first adaptation. They simply pasted the synopsis from the other page, I guess. @GeeNX What do you mean? A long manga series would not be fully turned into 12eps. 26eps are usually used to translate 5-8tomes. And Dororo is a short series. |

| It was great episode! Usually i don't like those demons, but Ohagi was something else. She found a human that didn't think she was ugly spider that had to be killed. I hope we'll see them in future someday. Hyakkimaru smiled omgggg <3 Loved it! |
| Predictable, but still good episode. It was obvious from the start that this was going to be about how monster might not be evil by nature, they're just feeding, while humans can be actually evil. Still, the best parts are as always Hyakkimaru's development. |
| What a unique episode. I really appreciated it. |
 |
| Happy ending hopefully YAY. |
