Me too. Still, I'm not sure how I would prefer Hyokkimaru's characterization. Ever read Vagabond? Kojiro there was somehow different to read but he still put some gestures to give the reader an idea. I guess Dororo was made talkative to balance Hyokkimaru's lack of dialogues

He does make it look really easy. Having no sense of pain probably helped, so now that he has it back it may get harder for him. In fact, I'm thinking his journey will get harder the more of his body he gets back. Gaining his eyes back for example would be a disadvantage unless he gets to keep his supernatural sight.

Also, on a more meta side, they already shortened the setting to 12 monsters. They don't have time to dilly-dally.

Has Asada Hiroyuki given up doing manga for good?
I noticed after Tegami Bachi he didn't produce any more titles; instead he was doing designs for Cheer Danshi, Akanesasu Shoujo and now Dororo. Quote:
I'm guessing anime Hyakkimaru will get more dialogue later, once he gets his vocal cords back. |

Him being unable to communicate with others in the anime raises questions though, like how he was taught how to write considering he's deaf, mute, and blind. I don't have a clue how it worked. Albeit, he's not completely blind.

Sorta convinced of this already... the OP has a few shots where they focus so much on Dororo's skirt and kinda girlish pose. Then this EP had a few movements where I felt like they were drawing attention to that too. And he looks way too Kawaii in the ending splash. Given that this is an Osamu work I don't fear that we will have shoehorned romance but I would hope to be wrong about "her" in any case. But we have 2 cours and maybe there's enough time to pull a twist like that and do justice to it. There were also some hints towards Dororo's family situation being potentially very complex (dead mom but the OP has what look like happy parents??? and since only mom was mentioned, dad's still alive I guess) so we'll see.
Regarding Hyakkimaru's skills, I am not sure how he learned to write complex Kanji and be an expert sword-fighter either with all that's stacked against him but the narration did say he had superhuman ability. Hopefully the mechanics get explained but otherwise I am okay with chucking it to the supernatural. Excellent episode again overall though. Some Mononoke vibes in there too heh.

Interesting, so the more demons Hyakkimaru slays the weaker the fortune they granted country or this in case Daigo becomes. That relationships and allainces forged under that power and this region under a war. I wouldn't be surpirsed if fanime and such things might come back. It certainly poses another interesting moral conundrum. That said with all bodies laying around and villagers and travellers being eaten by demons it's not this land was exactly peaceful, people are just now unkowningly being sacrificed to demons even beyond Hyakkimaru instead just mostly killing each other.
