What can I say but fuck me what an insane fucked up anime. This anime makes what naruto’s parents did to him look like Christmas.
Where do I start Dororo follows the story of hyakkimaru, a boy who the day he was born was cursed to suffer. And i dont mean a simple suffer either i mean some your meant to be dead suffer.
So I’ll start by explaining why he is meant to suffer. This anime takes place in feudal Japan an age of samurais and turbulent piece among lords, and it just happens that hyakkimarus dad was a lord as well and his nation was suffering badly the land struck with plague no food could be planted nothing they lived on a land dying and nothing could change it until one day the lord approaches the shrine of hell home to 12 demon status and there he pleads with the demons to save his land and let in prosper and in return the could protect it and take anything that they wanted that he owned and that is where the fucked up in this begins. You see soon after the lord’s wife goes into labor and as the child is born a massive bolt of lightning hits her and that’s where the demons claimed there stake.After the bolt is gone the lord rushes in to see his son an empty shell no eyes, skin, arms ,legs you see the demons took everything that make a human human and the lord ecstatic that his pact worked he sends his son to be killed so that his land can prosper but thankfully the old nurse sends him adrift down a river to live and survive.
Fast forward hyakkimaru is a teenager and has survived thanks to an old man who found him who works in prosthetics giving him a way to function and one day hyakkimaru manages to kill a demon unknown to him the cycle he has set in motion when he returns to his home his let’s say father who raised him cleans him up as they sit something happens hyakkimaru moves around in pain and soon he gets his right leg, and that ladies and gents starts his journey.
I cant say how fucked up it is what happened to him but this show has a lot of fucked up things in it and it’s not for everyone but if you wanna watch it you can find it on Amazon’s prime video the story is told over 23 episodes and I personally feel it’s worth watching.
Thank you all for reading hope you enjoyed have a great day.
