| Good finale, it kinda ended on a fairly mellow note. It's sad that Hyakkimaru's Mom, Jukai and Tahomaru all had to die while Daigo ended up living but I suppose there is some meaning in having him live with all the sins he's commited. I like that Hyakkimaru shows a very human disposition after regaining everything, it's a strong emphasis on his character of never wanting to turn into a vengeful demon who despises everything and everyone responsible for turning his life into literal hell. Overall, a very strong series, while the first half was notably very superior to the second, I still really liked the show. The entire story about Hyakkimaru regaining his limbs by defeating the demons was a very compelling plot line. The strange thing is, I'm not really able to put into words what exactly was missing from the second half of the show that was so good about the first half. I mean it's essentially the same thing about him fighting demons to regain his body but somehow it just wasn't as good, did we just tire of it? I can't really tell. Despite that, I still really liked this show, great character cast. Tahomaru deserved better in my opinion. I kinda wish we learnt more about Biwamaru but I guess he's supposed to be a mystery character. Would've been nice to have some more time skip stuff. Dororo grew upto be a beauty. 9/10 |

| oh man, what a show. truly one of my favorite series in the past year. what a great finale - it felt a little rushed ngl and it could have used another episode to really tie it all together, but overall it was a pretty good ending for an incredible story. hyakki is soooooo freakin pretty, and so is dororo. i kinda expected hyakki's eyes to be darker but whatever. he's still cute. nui holding her sons in her arms for the last time broke my damn heart, and jukai coming in with her to protect hyakki from the falling beams warmed my heart. taho's final moments were really emotional and we finally get to see some of the kindhearted tahomaru we knew before he turned against his brother. i didn't read the manga, but is this finale canon? i think that either way i really like it, but i wanna know if this is the same ending as osamu's. overall, 9/10. it's been a journey. |

mayhem1994 said: nyugvo6 said: that was absolute nonsense. why the hell did any of these happen? it being anticlimactic was expected but holy fuk. taho and hyakki fight for understandable reasons. hyakki stops wanting to kill taho because he sees the hole in his heart. okay. after sparing him the last demon starts acting up so the tears his extra eyes out and rejects the demon. is that even possible? whatever. hyakki kills the last demon by stabbing the red orb in an instant. that's it? really? puppet guy and mom show up they save hyakki, then die along with taho for no reason when they could have dragged him out. I get puppet guy's urge to die, it was well explained in his backstory BUT "guess I saved hyakkimaru and gave him some blessing I can die at last" that's bullshit. and the mom is like: "all these years I never paid attention to you, instead of saving you and dedicating myself to be by your side from now on I'll just watch you die and burn with your corpse." GOOD FUCKING GOING. Taho was dying dude, he was finished, his mother stayed with him because of the sins she committed in rejecting her son when he returned, she wanted to stay with Taho because she wanted to be with him at the end because she was never with him throughout his life. Jukai is already damned because of the atrocities he committed during his earlier life, it clearly shows when we meet him again halfway through the series, he's always haunted. mojeEEEEEEEEEEEE said: It really needed some extra time for closure. This anime had a great potential but this episode was a big clusterfuck and felt kind of rushed. Sure it wrapped up everything in the end somehow, but 1 extra episode fleshing out the battle with last demon etc. would make it just so much better. Also Nui is just plain retarded, what the fuck was that supposed to be, what's the point of Hyakkimaru sparing his brother if she just decided to burn along with him in the for whatever reason lol. The point of Hyakki sparing his brother is that he doesn't get consumed and turn into a demon, his humanity wins out in the end. Regarding Nui's actions, read what I said above. Some of you guys really aren't paying attention to what's going on... That last part you said....that pretty much applies to anybody who gave this a 5 or lower. |

| nice show, don't feel like more seasons will come but i hope it wasn't a lazy ending :P |

| I’m surprised everyone is complaining??? While I do agree the ending felt rushed and there was faults throughout the series as a whole I did love the ending. I enjoy the fact that it was a happy ending for a dark fantasy drama. I’m with everyone on an OVA !! I’m overall very pleased with the series and I hope it does spark more anime company’s take adapt/readapt older series. It really was refreshing to watch this show especially compared to shounen, fantasy, and just dark series in general today. I’ll miss this series a lot. My Monday’s will be empty again :((( |
| Oscar and Andre deserved better |
| I believe that was a good way to end the show...still believe the young brother and mother was alive...glad to see dororo more feminine |
 |
| Overall I liked the ending, the only think I didn't like about it was the quick change of attitude of Hyakkimaru and Tahomaru during the final battle, pretty anticlimactic, but I'll let it pass. It was a nice ending |
| Very good anime in general, had its ups and downs but almost always remained well. The "end" was quite well, the battle against Tahomaru was intense and well animated and the protagonism of the mother was quite more than in other chapters ... Now, I didn't like something, I felt that to be the last chapter something was missing...Maybe I needed more emotion? idk. Hyakki's reaction when he recovers his eyes was very dull, I expected him to react differently. When he leaves the castle with his mother, brother and the man who gave him the prosthesis burning and dying inside, he did not react with anger or at least with surprise. I don't know, I feel there were several things that could have been done better, yet it is a very good anime and I will miss it. PS: Hyakkimaru's mother is beautiful <3 8/10 |
 |
| Does anyone know how close this is to the original ending? Is the original longer or is it about the same? |
| This show had some ups and downs. The premise was really interesting and I liked how dark it got at times. Though some of the later episodes (the marriage one in particular) were poor. The ending just had too many things happen so fast that it kinda made it difficult to feel the significance (or anything at all) for that matter. It kinda just left me saying.. "... that's it?" 6/10 |
 |
| Really gonna miss this one.. I just really wish we got to see a bit more of what happened to Dororo and Hyakimaru afterwards. |

| Few anime can have endings as great as this one. It tied up every loose end about the story and gave a satisfactory conclusion. Dororo has been a fucking incredible journey and was amazing to watch. Phenomenal. |
| i want to see more of hyakkimaru and dororo |
| The storytelling is overall a bit messy and the execution is sometimes a bit off. Though, the concept itself is pretty interesting. Also too many fillers, I think it was better to just focus on Daigo's arc and thicken the plot than those damn fillers. The production value is also pretty good. Nice screenplays and great voice acting. The soundtrack is decent. Sometimes the animation is a bit odd, but ok. I'd give it a solid 7/10. |

| What an ending. I loved that we got to see a small glimpse of them reuniting in the end. Can't believe this is over. What a ride it was. 9/10 |
| the last episode felt lukewarm compared to the previous ones. it definitely needed one more episode to show us what happened in Dororo's and Hyakkimaru's life while they were apart. I liked the fact that they got back together tho. |
Black_Sheep97 said: I don't think that's needed all we needed to know that their journey's were over and that they part ways , and their time apart is insignificant to their time together that's why they reunited. I would like to know what Hyakkimaru was doing all that time and if Dororo managed to build the country again using her father's treasure. many people would like to know, I believe. the fact that they reunited is great but I felt like seeing more, that's all :) |
| I liked the ending, but would have preferred that Nui, Tahomaru and Jukai survived. Solid series tho |
| I was expecting Tahomaru to die but why did Daigo live on? I hope that motherfucker suffers. His wife and son are both gone. Also I wasn't expecting Jukai to die either :( I guess it's an act of parents sacrificing themselves for their children. Aside from Daigo, of course, that motherfucker needs to be ravished by tentacles. 9/10 for me. It had its flaws but the overall story was still wonderful. They were able to take a 50-60 year old series and bring it back to life. Definitely one of my favorites for this year. Glad to see Dororo grown up a bit towards the end. I saw some fanart of her but I guess the one in this series was good too. |

| So sad this one is over... Really gonna miss it. ❤️ |

Grown up Dororo is so pretty! Feels like the last episode was a bit rushed and still disappointed that Tahomaru and his mother died after they finally reconciled with Hyakkimaru. |
| Well, here it is, the conclusion. It still left a lot of questions from me like why was daigo bleeding. And is Tahomaru dead? Welp, hell yeah Dororo became a waifu material now. Biwamaru is still mysterious for me |

BlueMist13 said: I don't get why some people are saying the ending was underwhelming. Maybe they were expecting more action and something more flashy and adrenaline-packed. Sure, some endings are fun like that. But Dororo ended with a spiritual-like peace, you know? It wasn't for some great big plot, it was just to finally feel at peace with what they've done in the past and to just end all the suffering and stress they've been through. It's kind of like taking a great big nap after a tiring day. That feeling of falling onto your bed and you're out within seconds. And to quote mayhem1994's comment: "Some of you guys really aren't paying attention to what's going on..." Some of them might be expecting a flashy ending like fight scene of the big boss and such. Some might be expecting some epilogue like Dororo and Hyakkimaru together.. Tbh, this was the perfect ending I could asked for. Even in ep 23. I already or the anime itself already showing that the final episode is about closure. What each characters choice will be. It is not entirely about killing the big boss demon. It is more of what Hyakkimaru will choose in the end. The anime pretty much wrap up what the whole show wanted to convey. Hyakkimaru choose to be a human. Dororo decided to help the villagers using the money she have. Jukai, Nui and Tahoumaru choose die to finally repent all the guilt they must have felt finally able to fullfill all their roles. Daigo surviving being the most harsh punishment as he have to live all the sin he committed alone. The whole ending is about closure to everyone. It is a quite closure. So I really don't understand how it was also underwhelm to others.... or they really expecting a flashy ending then... Thanjh said: People defending this ep are like people defending GOT season 8. Yes things happened that made sense that they happened but it didn't make sense how they got there. For example, Nui and Taho dying. Yes it made sense that Nui wanted to be there with Taho but made no sense why she couldn't drag him from the fire and stay with him until he died then lived on. Essentially, the show had good points but but bad development/execution. Still a solid 8/10 I am not sure if you noticed but the anime clearly showed that the only exit was destroyed and closed by those woods on fire... There are no way exit out. And they are on top of the freaking building so they can't jump. Mod Edit: Merged duplicated posts; please use the edit button. |

| It might've been reasonable for the three of them finally being put to rest by melancholically yet peacefully staying in that burning castle after they've helped Hyakkimaru remain a human as he completed his quest as an ultimate act of repentance considering how they must have felt by finally doing something right in a life full of wrongs but it would've been way more preferable if they all managed to escape and lived out their lives by happily helping out other people instead. Tahomaru, Nui, and Jukai redeemed themselves at the end but they shouldn't have met their ends there because there's still so much they could've done after that. Daigo might've lived through all this, but seeing how wise his son had turned out and having nearly everything taken away from him filled him with the biggest feeling of regret and humiliation as he helplessly witnessed the direct consequences of his actions. He'd be better off dead and Hyakki knew that fully, ready to take back what's his again if he ever plans on offering his body to the demons again. Dororo finally had a reason to spend her dad's treasure on and I wonder about how many people she ended up helping with it. It was great to see her grown up and finally reuniting with her best buddy surrounded by golden rice in the end. |
