Poke poke samurai heera hera.

Toro toro samurai heera hera.

Hero hero samurai heera hera.

Mero mero samurai heera hera.

Glowing in the red of sunset,

burning armour
and burning horses

press forward to seize
everything under the heavens.



You can't play dumb. I know it.

You're all a lot of hogetaras.

Hoge hoge tara

Punyo punyo hogetara heera hera.

Hokya hokya hogetara heera hera.

Byoro byoro hogetara heera hera.

Hero hero hogetara heera hera.

Beneath the boundless blue sky,

they walk down a thorny path.

This too is for the sake
of the world and its people.

You can't play dumb. I know it.

You're all a lot of hogetaras.

The Demon Monmon

A village, is it?

It's been too long since I
last had a good square meal.

That tickles!

You're hungry too, aren't you?

Big brother, I'm off to
take a quick look.

Dororo, stay cautious.

Where you find a
village you'll find food too!

There must be
something going on here.

Pardon me a moment.

No one's here.

Big brother.

Isn't there anyone here?

If you are here,
speak up and say so!

Something is keeping watch.

Hey! Stop the silly
pranks and come out.

You caught me!

Come down here.

Nyahh!

Curse it!

Come down!

If you'll play with me!

Dororo, you heard what
she wants. Play with her.

What're you saying?
As if I'd play with that scamp.

Here I come!

Yahoo!

What a beauty!

Oh? Do you really think so?

What's your name?

It's Ochii.

I'm Dororo!

Ochii?

Ochii, was it?

Where have the others gone?

What about your father?

Where is your mother?

They all went into the
mountains for shiny rocks.

Shiny rocks? What're those?

I mean these.

It's gold!

It's gold! Real
gold! I'm sure of it!

Hm, so this is called gold?

There's a place where
you can find lots of them.

What?!

But everyone's busy collecting them
and won't play with me. It's boring.

Even though they're so common.

Is what you were
just saying true?

Not just tiny ones like these,
there are much bigger ones too.

With a fistful of
these I could be rich!

Come on, take me
to them see them!

No way! Not going to happen.
I don't want to.

Don't be like that. Please.

I'll never ask for anything
else. Just tell me. Okay?

No.
You'll obsess over those shiny
rocks and refuse to play with me.

Come on, don't say that!

Look, I'm begging you!
I'll do anything you ask!

You mean it?

You bet!

Well then...

Will you make me a princess?

A princess?

Simply, you'd
become my servant.

What? Me? Serve a woman?

I'll do it.

Then, from this moment
you're my servant.

I order you to accompany
me to where the shiny rocks lie.

Follow me.

Yes, certainly.

It's gold! Gold!

Whoa, boy.

Nota, I need you
here for something.

Stay here with me.

Hey! Wait!

Wait for me!

For a princess, don't you
think you're a bit too fast
on these mountain roads?

You think so?

I think so!

Princesses whine about
trekking over mountains like this.

Very well then, carry
me on your back.

I see. This is much easier.
My throat is dry, I want water.

Yes, right! I'm the one
in need of a drink here!

Watch your mouth when
speaking to your princess!

Water!

Wait.

Shall a servant drink
before his princess does?

Hah! I'll not let
you order me around on this!

Then we won't be going to
where the shiny rocks are.

Oh, fine!

Now, bring the water to me.

That was splendid.

I can drink now too...?

Very well.

Hurry along or I'll
leave you behind!

Take your hand? You're
doing better than I am up here!

Fine! If I don't take it,
you won't take me to the gold...?

It's gold.

This is incredible!

See, I was telling the truth.

Dororo, why are
you so flustered?

If anyone can stay calm after
seeing all this gold, they're not a man!

There's no one here but
you. Take all you want.

Until you're satisfied.

This lump of
lucre is irresistible!

Never expected it would
come in handy like this.

Oh!! The ones over
there are especially big!

Are you ready?

Are you ready?

I just heard something.

Are you ready?

Are you ready?

What's with this voice?

Not yet! Not yet!

Ochii! What are you doing?

I'm shouting back
to the mountain god.

There's a mountain
god living up here.

He asks you whether
you've taken enough gold yet.

No way! I'm not done yet!

Look how much
space is left in my sack!

You just have to tell
him "not yet" then.

"Not yet," you say? Got it!

That's right. Not yet.

Not yet.

Then when you're
finished, say "I'm ready."

Dororo, why didn't your
big brother come with you?

Big brother is not a normal man.
He's only interested in demons.

He's not needed here!

He's an odd one, isn't he?

Too odd for his own good.

Look at how the
village has decayed...

The villagers didn't
disappear in the last few days.

Could Dororo be in danger?

Nota, we must hurry!

If I'm attacked here, I
won't stand a chance!

Thanks, Nota.

Are you ready?

Not yet.

Are you ready?

Not yet!

Oh, Nota! Good of you to
come! Is big brother with you too?

What? Are you trying
to tell me something?

What's that?

This is from big brother's clothes!

Nota, did something
happen to big brother?

Ah! Nota!

Something's happened
to big brother. I'm sure of it.

Okay!

Nota, I'll go see!

Ok! I'm going now!

I don't need this stuff!

Silly rocks.

Big brother, I'm coming now!

Nota, what's wrong?

Ah! Big brother!

Dororo, no need to
get out of the hole.

Wh-Why?

Take that man and get
back in the hole now!

Heck no! I can see big brother's hurt!

What good would it do to put him
in a hole with nothing but gold ?

Yes? Well, if you
won't do as I tell you...

Big brother! It's a demon! A demon!
We'll be gobbled up!

Curse it! Fine, I'll
face her myself then!

Come at me!

Okay!

Dororo, I'll handle the monster!

Monster, I was waiting for
you to show your true colours!

Here I come, demon!

Demon, cease with your
petty tricks and fight me!

A substitute?

Oh no! It was
another substitute!

Curses! Big brother's at a disadvantage!

Nota, you stay here!

Just you watch!

Take this!

Big brother, now!

Got it!

Demon, I'll send you
to the underworld now!

Are you ready?

What was that?

Are you ready?

Dororo! What is that voice?

It's the mountain god!

I'm ready!

- I'm ready!
- This is...

Big brother! Look at that!

They're giant slugs!

You'll be devoured
by my pretty little slugs!

Run for it, Dororo!

A sword won't
work on these.

They won't even leave
bones behind if they eat us!

Dororo, ready a fire!

Dororo, is the fire ready?

See for yourself!

Good! Set the fire!

Gotcha! There!

The villagers were lured in by Ochii's
shining stones and eaten by the slugs.

What they all thought was gold
was just rocks coated in slug slime.

How preposterous.

Dororo, it looks like you put
in a lot of effort for nothing.

Tell me about it!

For a moment, I felt like I'd
stuffed my pockets full of gold!

Wait...

Stupid thing! I don't
even want to see it!

We're going, Dororo.

Hey, wait! Big brother!

Hey, have you
all heard of sacred trees?

You see sacred shrine
ropes tied around big old trees

and men say the
gods reside inside them.

But, rather than gods, there are
often awful demons instead.

Next week's story is about
one of those tree monsters.

Unlike in the modern day,

in this era there's nothing
much taller than a big tree.

So, it feels like
we're fighting a skyscraper.

Even for big brother, that's
a fearsome foe.

I mean, it just grabs him and...

Yes, we're in for a
tough fight next week.

Well, bye!
