Dororo (1969–…): Season 1, Episode 2 - Hyakkimaru no maki sono ni - full transcript

This is certainly a human baby.

But it almost looks like a monster.

That a doctor such as I would find a baby
such as this...

the Fates certainly are cruel.

This baby's life will be short
if left unattended.

Is it possible that my medical skills...

could help extend this baby's life?

Dororo episode 2
First aired: April 13, 1969

Part Two - Hyakkimaru no Maki
[Part Two - The Scroll of Hyakkimaru]

As a warrior...

Daigo Kagemitsu,
aiming for rule of the land...

Offered his son to be consumed
by 48 demons in exchange for power.

And his son,
born with 48 body parts missing...

was abandoned into the
river, shunned as a monster.

15 years passed since then. That baby has
grown into the man known as "Hyakkimaru"

Meanwhile, there was an orphan boy who
struggled to thrive in his war-torn town.

His name was Dororo.

His fated encounter with
Hyakkimaru was at the river

when Hyakkimaru rescued
him from a deadly spirit wave.

Entranced by Hyakkimaru's katana blade...

Dororo decided to follow Hyakkimaru in
hopes of someday obtaining his blade.

In order to prevent Dororo
from being a burden to him,

Hyakkimaru subjected Dororo to a test.

Dororo, pick up those
eyes and take a good look.

Wh-why, these are man-made eyes!

I have no human eyes.

Well? Does it not sicken you, Dororo?

And it isn't just my eyes.

These ears too... take a good look.

M-M-Monster!

Boy, if I scare you, then leave now.

Ya think I'm so wimpy
I'd be scared by that? Hah!

You are strong-willed boy.

Dororo, do you insist on
following me at any cost?

Well, you're a strong fellow! I like you!

But I am not an ordinary man.

When I was born, I had
no eyes, no nose, no mouth.

I had no arms or legs either.
I was a monster.

The one who somehow raised me
into a man was a Doctor named Juko.

My faceless, monster
body... he vowed to fix it.

Eyes, arms, legs, every
part my body needed...

He stayed up countless nights
to build these parts for me.

And the surgery was a success.

He taught me what my
first steps on legs felt like.

I took my first step.

I walked.

I wobbled, but I walked.

Struggling against the pain.

Until one day... I was able to run at will.

Watch out! That's a steep...!

That boy... He has a mysterious
power not found in other boys.

Good evening.

Is the Doctor in?

What is it?

Now, come on in. I'll examine you.

My, how mysterious!

You have no pulse!

No pulse means that
your heart is not beating!

In which case, you are dead...

I hear you are a very skilled doctor.

Please, can you cure me?

Cure you?
But I've never seen such an illness...

But, you are a good doctor...

After all, you managed to
raise a monster into a boy!

Are you going to strangle me?!

Help me!

That was the first of
many terrifying incidents.

I didn't understand why...

But monsters always appeared near me.

And then one day...

I finally discovered
the secret of my birth.

Hyakkimaru...

Hyakkimaru...

Hyakkimaru...

Who's there?!

I have something to tell you.

Who's there? Show yourself!

Where are you?

Your body was sold to us by your father.

Your existence in this world is a betrayal!

If you wish to live as a
normal man in this world,

your only choice is to
destroy all of us 48 demons!

I told this to the doctor.

You must depart on a quest.

Look at this.

These blades were a
gift from my general.

He gave them to me in my
youth, when I was in the army.

It has no name, but it is superb.

I will forge this into your arm.

Hyakkimaru...

It doesn't seem as though my
medicine can help your mysterious body.

The 48 demons... I will
destroy them all with this blade.

That was the moment I made that vow.

I've done all I can for you.

All that remains is to
fight for yourself now.

Yes.

It was tough parting ways with the
man I'd come to regard as my father.

But, even his harsh voice
commanding me to fight for myself...

contained a clear warmth to it.

I'll be off.

Be careful out there, Hyakkimaru.

And so I left.

With no particular destination.

Just with the mission of defeating
the 48 demons that possess me.

The wind moans when I walk eastward.

The rain falls when I walk westward.

When you find my scent in the fickle wind,

clear the way for me if you...

You over there...

Do you mean me?

Yeah, I mean you.

You have the scent of the
gods of death on you, son.

How do you know?

I'm blind.

And the blind possess all
sorts of little god-given powers

unknown to the seeing population.

You are burdened with immeasurable pain.

You reek of it.

Yes. You have the scent of a
man who is haunted by demons.

I too am blind.

Oh, really?

Then we're friends.

Where are you off to?

I don't know.

Tell me,

Hey, son, do you have any
martial arts training?

It's impossible for me in my condition.

Gee, I wonder.

Well, just you watch.

Ready?

To protect yourself from your curse,
I suggest you at least master that little trick.

The wind moans when I...

The rain falls when I walk westward.

Hey, son, are you scared
even though you're blind?

When you find my scent in the fickle wind,

clear the way for me if you don't mind

My, you are a troublesome fellow.

I... I am a failure as a man!

My body is feeble and I
am haunted by demons!

I have nothing! Nothing!

My eyes, my nose, my mouth, my ears...

My hands, my feet...
All are fake.

I cannot do anything a real man can!

Is that what you really think, young one?

Yes! I cannot do anything.

With that attitude, you've already failed.

Come, stand. Walk forward.

I can "see" what you think you don't have.

Where are we?

A burned village.

The war has passed through here...

Turning this village into a battlefield.

But this is not what I wanted
to show you. It's that house there.

These children are the survivors.

Some are missing arms, some are missing
legs, some have lost eyes in the fire.

These children are sub-humans.

No one wants them.

But, just look.

Look at how hard they struggle to survive.

See...? I don't know, specifically,
in what way you are disabled.

But you have survived all this time.

So why do you refuse to continue to try?

Well, I'm leaving now.

Take care.

I hope we meet again.

When you find my scent in the fickle wind,

clear the way for me if you don't mind.

I stayed behind at that temple, wanting
to live with those children for a while.

Their innocent perseverance
was an inspiration to me.

I just couldn't feel sorry
for myself watching them.

I obsessively took to my sword training.

Naturally, I was alone.

Just as the old blind man had said...

I did possess the power
to strike down demons.

And watching me train... there was
one woman who warmly encouraged me.

Hey, hey! So what happened after that?

If you stop right at the good part,
I'd rather not hear it to begin with!

Don't hold out on me!

I've been good this whole time,
listening to your "grown-up" story!

It's just that what happened
next is a memory I'd rather not revisit.

Now, now, you stop that.

Your master made this hat for you.

Her name was... Mio, I remember.

She was like a mother to the war orphans.

Gentle, carefree... I was unable to
see her, but I could feel her beauty.

When I met Mio... I learned the
feeling of joy or the first time.

I think I also felt love for
another person for the first time.

But...

Anxiety and sadness...

And true anger soon came.

Move it! Move it!

The temple is on fire!

Mio!

Mio!

Mio!

Mio!

Mi-Mio!

That warm-hearted Mio...
and those innocent children...

Were all burned to death.

Hey, you! What're ya standing around for?
Get lost!

D-Did you men kill them?

Why? Why did you kill them?

Why did you kill them!

They were in our way, as we
were trying to get to battle!

You got a problem with that?

Why you... you demons!

You should talk! You stray dog!

Mio...

You scum!

I will spare none of
you... you're all dead!

After a brief moment of happiness...

Hyakkimaru's dreams were stolen from
him and sent to the world of the dead.

Hyakkimaru's insane
blades let out cries for blood.

On next week's episode...

With memories of Mio in his breast...

Hyakkimaru left the burned village...

To continue his quest with Dororo.

But waiting for them was
unthinkably hideous Yokai.

Next week on Dororo:
