He's laughing.

He thinks we are foolish.

The way we crawl and hide,

how we fight each other and live in poverty... He find it all amusing!

Shut up!

We are living things!

What's so funny with living things trying their best to live?!

You idiot!

Servants of Daigo?

Probably.

Who are you two?

Where did you come from?!

Don't tell me you are Kanayama's remaining troops.

Kanayama?

We will search you!

Say what?!

Stop with the nonsense, you dumbass!

We must check if you are one of us!

What did you say?

If we weren't, we would've ran already, you moron!

Why you...

You are not going to finish them off?

Killing these fools won't solve anything.

You want to job, huh?

Hmm...

Well, if you don't mind working in construction,

I can introduce you to someone.

I see.

He might prove to be useful.

You, over there.

Are you looking for an employer?

Then I can introduce you to the most generous employer around here.

Me.

Come.

Are you blind?

I have eyes in my mind.

What is your name?

Hyakki-maru.

Interesting...

My name is

Tahou-maru.

My father's name is

Daigo Kagemitsu.

Lately,

Kanayama's remaining troops and other lowlives are after my life and my father's.

They are waiting for us to get careless.

Drink.

What if that is not Sake,

and it's a powerful poison that can kill even a buffalo?

So, you can tell it's not.

Can I ask you one thing?

What's your view on Daigo Kagemitsu?

Is he a devil created by the war that lasted more than 40 years?

Or a demon who leads the poor further into poverty?

Why ask me?

I wonder why...

Either way,

Unless someone unites this land,

the war in this world will never end.

But who...

Wishes for that unification more than anyone else?

I will fight alongside my father,

and stablize this world torn by war.

Eventually I will inherit this castle and country.

Come.

I want you to meet my father.

Is it you, Tahou-maru?

Mother, it's a perfect timing.

I found a man who may prove to be useful.

His name is...

Hyakki-maru.

You head is held up too high!

She is my mother.

You...

You...

Where did you get this piece of cloth?!

What...

What are you trying to do?!

It's obvious.

This abomination...

What's the point of raising him?!

No!

He is living and moving!

He is your son!

If you don't want him to be killed here,

You go and throw him away!

Mother.

What's wrong?

Tahou-maru has...

Tahou-maru has...!

Come back!

Mother!

Madam.

Madam...

Mother!

I'm sorry but... I'm going to come back some other time.

Wait, Hyakki-maru.

What's going on?!

I will not allow you to leave this castle,

until you explain everything...

There's no mistake about it.

Fate has brought him here!

I don't see any other explanations!

I can no longer lie to myself.

I was so stupid.

I gave the name of an abandoned son to another son.

Tahou-maru, Tahou-maru!

Was I calling the name of his older brother I abandoned

as I was looking at the younger brother's face,

Or was I just calling the name of the younger brother standing right in front of me...

We shouldn't have sent him down the river.

You are right.

We should have killed him.

Then you would not be delirious as you are now.

I am not delirious!

You must not have forgotten either.

That design on the cloth!

Shut up!

That is delusion talking!

Him coming back in full form, with all his body parts intact...

Is simply impossible!

Did you find him?

No.

Here.

It's still only noon, but the town is already going crazy.

I don't know what's going on, but we can't let our guard down in here either.

What's up?

Did something go wrong?

I can...

No longer be with you.

Huh?

Your sworn enemy,

Daigo Kagemitsu is...

Is my father.

Say what?

My mother's name is Yuri.

My younger brother's name is Tahou-maru.

I found that out in the castle today.

Stop joking arou...

I'm not joking around!

Dororo,

take my hand.

I'll send everything I saw and heard into the castle... Into your head.

Do you want to kill me?

Then stab me!

Kill me!

If you won't, then I'll be leaving.

I will never...

Show up before you again.

I didn't...

Get my heart back yet.

At last, the time has come.

You!

You still have something to say?!

It's been a long time since we meet again.

Chief priest.

What exactly has happened here?

Daigo...

Kagemitsu has...?

He had sold them to demons in exchange for the power to conquer the world.

The son just born into this world had been given nothing,

and is about to be abandoned.

I will never regret it.

Do you hate Daigo Kagemitsu?

Of course.

All my suffering...

Was my true parent's fault.

I want to cut off 48 parts of his body!

Yeah, I bet you would!

But you can't do that.

Why not?

Of course because he's still your father!

No matter what,

you can't kill your own father!

That's why...

This is good bye with you!

Have you seen the young man Tahou-maru had brought here today?

Yes.

Find him... For me.

Fate is cruel.

Hatred and vengence...

Only accumulate like snow.

Are you telling me...

To give up on my revenge?

I know fully well he did nothing wrong.

But old man...

If I gave up on my revenge...

What about my parents' sadness?

What about their hatred?

Who will clear their honor after they died to keep me alive?!

Tell me, old man!

I will slay...

Every single last one of you!

Does it hurt?

Does the blood and flesh you regained hurt?

Pitiful child...

Abandoned by parents, loathed by the world.

Yet you still continue to live with one hope:

Even if your parents abandoned you,

once you get back your body, you thought they would embrace you.

You thought they would praise your accomplishment.

But...

It was all nothing but a dream!

Shut up!

You demons! What do you know?!

No matter how many parts of body you regain,

your dream will never come true!

Then, what do you have to gain by killing us?

What do you have to gain?

Then, what would you do?

Will you kill your own father with that blade on your left arm?

Or...

Will you slit your own throat with that blade on your left arm?

Slit your own throat?

Then, you can die peacefully.

Peacefully...

You can die,

without suffering.

Someone...

Please kill me...

Dororo?

I will...

I'll give up on my revenge!

So you too...

Live your life to the fullest!

Where to, mother?

Tahou-maru...

Are you referring to me?

Or is it...

Lord! What have you...

Lord, please...

Please go back to your room.

The world outside the castle is filled with chaos.

Tahou-maru...

Why...

Why?!

Tahou-maru!

Madam, madam...

Please wait.

Take my mother to her room.

Don't let her out even if she orders you to prepare the horses.

Otherwise...

I will behead you myself!

These last 20 years...

I have fought on for the last 20 years,

yet the land still remains unconquered.

Is the path of unification of the world...

Too long to walk in a single lifetime?

Don't be foolish, Kagemitsu.

Unification of the world is within your reach.

However, Kagemitsu...

There is one person blocking the path.
