Dororo

Hey!

Lord Daigo.

Lord Daigo!

You must tend to your wounds first.

No need.

I hear the samurai who carved

these demon statues...

Died in a frenzied death soon after.

How many are there?

There are forty-eight.

This is a fitting place for me to

face my darkest destiny.

Chief priest.

I will be borrowing this

place for one night.

I will be praying for the holy light to protect you,

lord Kagemitsu.

My...

Father died in the war.

My older and younger brother too...

They lost their lives in the war against Kanayama.

At this rate, we will be obliterated

by Kanayama,

and our Daigo family's bloodline will...

Come to an end!

For that foolish warlord!

I swear...

to slay Kanayama with my own hands!

Those who reside in the darkness!

What is it you want?

Do you want to come to life?

Or a living sacrifice?

What do you want?

I will give you whatever you want.

In exchange,

Give me, Daigo Kagemitsu,

the power to defeat my sworn enemy!

No...

Power to rule the world.

Give me the world!

Body of...

Your...

Child.

My...

Child?

You demon!

It is true my wife will give

birth to a baby soon.

Are you telling me to hand him over to you?

Then...

The world...

Will be given to me?

Your...

Child.

Then I shall give him to you.

My son's...

Share them among yourselves!

Show me a sign of your promise!

Lord Daigo!

Lord Daigo!

Have you joined forces with demons?

You will regret it,

lord Kagemitsu.

I will never regret it!

Come on, pick me!

Don't you want to have a good time?

Hey there, do you want me to read your palm?

I get it right very often.

No, thanks.

I'm really good.

- No, thanks!

Want me to read your palm?

Get out of my way.

Is something causing you distress?

- Shut up!

Want me to read your palm? Palm reading.

My bad, my bad.

Sir... Palm reading?

How about it? I'll find out the

source of your distress.

If what I find out is true...

Excuse me, let's see...

What the hell is this?

Hey, you!

It's not safe here, run!

It's gone!

Mine's gone too!

Have you been dead for a long time already?

Hey, where do you think you are going?

Run, run!

Hurry!

Did you see him?

- No.

Find him!

I knew you would be here!

Give it back, you thief!

It's not time to be arguing

about that, you idiot!

You are... Red Rust Mountain's...

Wha... What the hell is that?!

How am I supposed to know!

Wait, please wait!

Stop messing around, I'll kill you!

What... What exactly are you?!

What do I... Look like?

To you...

What...

Do I... Look like?

Hey, you said something about

Red Rust Mountain earlier?

A man-eating monster inhabited a mine

called the Red Rust Mountain.

A person went up the mountain

and came back alive, but...

Rumor has it that person

himself is like a monster.

And?

I told you, it's just a rumor I heard!

If you don't know, then you are

of no more use to me!

Monster? Monster? You are saying

it was a monster?

So, it's you, Hyakki-maru?

Your presence has not changed at all.

How have you been?

I will have to borrow this

a little while longer.

Ha! It's nothing you need to borrow,

it is yours.

Use it whatever way you wish.

If that's your reason for living.

You know nothing about me!

Hey, old man! You look bored.

- Huh?

Are you going to introduce me someone

nice to drink with me?

Shut up, if I got you a girl, you would

drink the whole thing!

Say, what was that guy?

Is he one your buddies?

No, I've just come across him twice before.

What the heck is he anyway?

Is he a human? A monster?

What did he look like to you?

Well...

Man, that bastard...

Long time ago, in a place...

There used to be a spell caster,

who tried to perfect his magic in isolation.

According to that man...

It happened one morning, when he went out to pick medicinal herbs just like any ordinary day.

In the creek that streamed

through the highlands,

he noticed a wooden tub just about

two arm's length floating down.

And when he picked the wooden

tub out of the water...

He was crying... At least it seemed

like he was.

As if he was saying...

"I want a father".

It seems,

he is a human child.

If he really is a human,

he must have the most pitiful body

that a human can possible have.

But still,

it seems like he really is a human.

And so, the man decided to give

the baby a body.

A body?

Yes.

The spell caster...

For those who lost their arms

and legs in the war,

he reattached new living

arms and legs for them.

He was trying to perfect such spells.

First,

the man journeyed to a villege

demolished by war,

and gathered the corpses of children.

The man boiled the corpses, then prepared his secret medicinal herbs, and mixed them together.

And so, he created water that is the source

of life from children's corpses.

He then ran electricity through it...

He made a heart first.

And part by part,

the man stitched up all the parts

he created onto the baby.

While the spell was being casted, the baby

desperately endured it, the man told me.

It was strange,

how he felt the baby's determination.

But still, why did he feel the

baby's thought?

Do you like this?

I see.

Here you go.

But...

Excuse me.

Give me the body... Give me the body...

Give me the body...

Who is it?

Uh...

Traveler,

passing by.

The baby's body is still incomplete,

yet day after day, more and more of those

things gather around.

But there is something I can't figure out.

That is?

Why do they want that baby's body, not mine?

Why?!

If you track down its origin,

you will find this sword was forged to

slay a murderer in a villege.

A swordsmith's wife and child was

murdered by this murderer.

To avenge their death,

to avenge their death...

For that single purpose,

all his vengeance were sealed into

this sword as it was forged.

I was seeking for the resting place of this sword,

where it was destined to end up.

Fate has brought the sword here.

Are you saying...

He will eventually require the

use of this sword?

I will attach your left arm

when you grow up more.

My son...

Your body is made of your own body...

And dead children's corpse.

Grow up strong.

For the kids who died in the war too.

War?

You will find out one day.

That, and...

Move your mouth when you speak.

Ah.

Ah!

Yi.

Yi!

Wu.

Wu.

Okay, stab!

Step back, and slash!

And slash, and slash,

and the finishing blow!

His mysterious mind powers made up for those eyes that can't see, and ears that can't hear.

Stand up.

Stand up!

Time flew by,

Daddy?

Daddy!

Daddy, I'll get medicine...

When I die...

Burn this place down!

The medicinal art I performed on you...

Must perish from this world.

Why?

With the technique, you can

live longer too, daddy.

Then...!

- No!

If...

This technique...

Falls into the hands of a man

named Daigo Kagemitsu...

Not just that man.

Those who willingly go to war.

Only they will attain the immortal body,

and those I tried to save...

They would only become casualty of war.

If that were to happen,

this world...
