EPISODE REVIEWS

Things start getting much more unpredictable. Every scene seemed to hint at something bigger. The mystery keeps growing.

Un episodio con varios giros de trama que cambian el porvenir de este anime, además de mostrarnos trasfondo y pasado de Nikaido. Aunque un poco caótico y por momentos confuso porque cuenta demasiadas cosas al mismo tiempo.

The suspenseful low-key horror, dark, gritty, and thriller doesn't disappoint! The En's family kinda having a bad time right now but thanks to En's family they're bouncing back! The apartment scene is so eerie but it's so GOOD!

Absolute psychological madness. Room 501 introduces a terrifyingly claustrophobic vibe that almost feels like playing a survival horror game.

We're getting into the nitty gritty of dorohedoro now.

I can't believe Nikaido accidentally erased her own sister from the timeline just by trying to help and seeing Yakumo fade out of that photo was actually devastating

Haru screaming metal about humans being trash while her devil wings twitched made me laugh so hard because it was so out of nowhere and Dr Kasukabe just looked so tired of her

The sight of En's mushrooms rotting and crumbling across the whole city really shows how much he was holding the world together and now everything is just falling apart and it feels so bleak

Turkey baking a literal pizza person to find En's head is the most Dorohedoro thing ever but seeing that naked dough doll fly a broom was surprisingly creepy

Shin and Noi found their motivation again and the way they just kicked through those factory doors to find the Cross-Eyes was such a cool moment and they looked so ready to kill

I like this episode! But it was more like laying out something intriguing and good for the next episode. The story's just getting more interesting as it goes on!

A bit of a downtime from all the mind-blowing events from the previous episode. But this felt like it was setting up for some really good fights. Overall, a great episode that builds anticipation.

This was a calmer episode than the last, but it looks like it’s building toward something intense and dark for what’s coming next. A great episode that has a smooth story progression.

EPISODE CONTEXT

Arriving directly after En's devastating death, this episode absorbs the shockwave of that loss and spreads it across the sorcerer hierarchy, showing exactly how precarious the world he controlled truly was. It functions as a critical emotional bridge, giving Nikaido's long-hinted backstory the space it demands before the larger power struggle accelerates. The Cross-Eyes' looming takeover of the En Family mansion is being set in motion just offscreen, making this the calm, and sorrow, before the next escalation.
