Dororo Page #2

Would fall into carnage

of hell for eternity.

You should just...

Walk your path with Hyakki-maru.

Daddy...

I am not your father.

What are you talking about?

Daddy, if you are not my daddy...

Then who's my daddy?

You're my daddy!

You are my daddy...

Daddy...

Kid... Did you know?

It is Forty-Eight Demons who had

deprived you of your own body.

The demons are using your body to engulf people in fear, and indulge in trivial gratification from their sufferings.

Who is it?!

Where are you?

Kid.

You shall choose your own path.

However,

If you want your real body back,

slay all Forty-Eight Demons with the

blade in your left arm!

Every time you slay one, the body part it stole from you shall be returned to your body.

If you seek for them,

you will naturally come across these demons.

Your deprived mind,

and the stolen body parts

will call for each other.

Then tell me,

Why...

Did the demons take my body?

You will find the answer to that question in time as well,

if you are truly eager to find out.

Wait!

Tell me more!

By the time I came across him for the second time,

he had already slain the 3rd demon.

What must he have gone through...

It was as if he had lost his heart.

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes,

I would've never believed such absurd story.

Wait a minute!

Then...

When he got back his leg after

slaying the demon...

Does it mean that was the demon that

snatched his body below his knee?

Hypothetically, if he slays the demon

that has his left arm...

Then his left arm would grow back?

Right.

He is trying to take back his entire

body in that manner.

I don't really get it, but...

This is starting to get really interesting!

Think about it...!

Why you...

You are so persistent!

Fine! I'll give it back!

Huh?

What? Is it raining?

You heard the story, now pay up.

What make you think I have money?

Did you not just put something

into your breast pocket?

Then tell me one more thing.

I'll pay you depending on your answer.

That sword he used to slay the demon,

what would happen if you cut people with it?

What?

I'm not paying if you don't know!

Or is asking him the only way to find out?

Yo!

Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo!

Come on, tell me, what's you name?

What is it? Hey, what is it?

You think I'm stupid, don't you?

A woman?

Huh?

I'm a man!

Look!

Loads of chest hair!

What's your problem? At least tell me your name!

If you don't tell me, I'll just call you something really weird and scream it around you everywhere!

If you ask for someone's name,

introduce yourself first.

A thief like me don't have a real name.

If I had something like that,

I'd be a woman already!

A thief who has something so stupid...

Are second, third-rate amateurs!

Then you are same as me.

Huh?

I don't have a real name.

They call me Hyakki-maru, Dororo.

"Dororo"?

That name sounds perfect for

a thief's nickname...

All right! It's mine!

Then, I'm Dororo.

You are... Hyakki-maru.

Let's go with that. All right, boss?

Tsk, how unsociable!

Hey, at least tell me this:

That weird sword...

Does it have the power to blow up humans

just like it did to that demon?

Should we find out?

Do not follow me!

Thieves don't stop trying just

because they are told to!

I'll take that sword no matter what!

Hey, hey, hey!

Power is everything!

Blades and money both represent power!

If that thing has the power

to blow people up,

then maybe we can use it to

conquer the world!

For the greatest thief in the world, the

world itself should be his target!

Come on, boss! Slay another demon for me!

And when your left arm grows back, that sword would drop too, right?

That's when I'll snatch it like

a hawk on a prey!

That way?

Man, what's with you?

Acting like you are bored whole day.

You sure are a gloomy bastard!

Sorry, but

I've already heard everything about you.

From that old bard.

"What do I look like to you. "

Eh?

If you ask me, you are just

some random punk!

And just because you happen to have a ridiculously powerful sword attached to your arm, you act like...

What?! You can't even take an insult?

What the hell?!

Hey, slay it! Just slash it up!

Mama!

- Huh?

Mama!

Hey!

Wait a sec!

What are you doing?!

Hey, are you stupid? Stop

acting like an idiot!

What's with this guy?

Is it really a kid?

it's made up of children's souls.

In this temple...

They burned to death?

Yo! I'm Dororo.

Dororo.

What's so funny?

It means "monster kid".

Huh?

"Dororo".

It's what people in a country far south call of a human formed monster.

Tatsuzou.

I've brought you rice balls.

Here, it's delicious.

Eat up.

Now I've figured it out.

This temple was the place where you abandon the baby.

Abandon the baby?

You are scums!

People like you must be what we call "waste of a life".

Where did you come from?!

You...

Have you bastards lived in a villege nearby?

This area used to be Kanayama's territory.

Our lives were miserable!

And after that...

That batard Daigo...

Seized that castle!

That's when our lives became a real living hell!

Even after that devil Kanayama was defeated,

the one that came after,

was even more horrible devil!

We had no choice...

We had no choice!

There was no other way!

Who...

Who would willingly abandon his own child?!

So that's how it is...

Stop making excuses, you fools!

I was born in middle of the battle field!

My breast burned down too!

But still, my father and mother fought!

Until they can no longer move and fell.

They never gave up!

How gruelling it must be to be abandoned by your own parents and die...

You scums know how that would feel, don't you?

I've seen a starving kid in the corner...

Carrying a rice ball given by his parents.

If he ate it, he won't be able to remember his parent's face.

That fool!

If he didn't eat, he would die,

but he won't let go of his clenched fists!

Scums like you abandoning their child should...

Stop.

Enough.

Don't you hate the parents who abandoned you...

I have a parent who raised me.

I ask for nothing more.

Either way, your child burned down together with the temple, didn't they?

It's too late to be offering crap like this!

Don't follow me!

I'm really pissed off right now!

I'm not really following you.

I just happen to be walking on this path.

Then you walk in the front!

Is he one of those scums?

You are travelers?

If you would like, why don't you rest in my mansion?

I would be glad if you can tell me some stories of your journey.

When you are stuck in one place,

there is nothing more comforting than hearing stories of the outside world.

Your companion is also welcome.

Sire, that is truly a generous offer.

Yes, it sure is!

And? What do you think of that old man?

He is just a human.

Really? Interesting.

Voluntarily inviting the greatest thief in the world to his house.

What a stupid fool!

Welcome to our house.

Show us the sword on your waist.

Oh!

A Takemitsu.

My wife should be the one accompanying you,

but unfortunately, she is not feeling well.
