EPISODE REVIEWS

A bit of a mystery vibe in this one. Dororo and Hyakkimaru are starting to feel like a real team now, which is great to see.

Saru's a solid side character, the demon fight is creative, and Hyakkimaru finally saying Dororo's name? Worth the wait. The echolocation training is smart writing, shows him adapting to his new senses instead of just getting powers handed to him.

This episode made me pause for a second. The moral lines blur, and you start questioning what’s truly right.
