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.

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.

Hoge hoge tara tara hoge tara pon!

You two... I would have you die.



For myself, I would rather not
kill needlessly, but...

This one won't listen to me.

It has caught your scent,

and my sword thirsts for your blood.

You have my sympathy, but it's
time for you to make your peace.

If you're so eager to cut us down,

go ahead.

However,

it will cost you dearly.

Interesting.

I was thinking that merely to cut you
down would be unsatisfying.

The Scroll of the Demon
Sword Nihil Part One

Offered up as a sacrifice on the altar of
his father Daigo Kanemitsu's ambition,

Hyakkimaru, who had 48 parts
of his body taken by demons,

in order to regain the
lost members of his body,

travels with the young Dororo,
who he met on his journey.

Sometimes in riverbeds,
others in nameless villages,

he uncovers the identities
of demons and battles them,

cutting his way down the
path of his accursed fate.

The orphan, Dororo,
who helps Hyakkimaru,

also bears a past too painful
for words.

Born as the child of bandits,

before Dororo was old
enough to remember,

Dororo's parents were betrayed by
their followers and driven from leadership.

They wandered all across the
small states of a land at war.

Ultimately, Dororo's father fell
at the hands of a samurai,

while Dororo's mother died
of starvation and the cold.

Hyakkimaru, who learned
of Dororo's past,

was impressed that Dororo
remained encouraged

and persevered to try living
on strongly as a person.

Their bond now strengthened,

they journey onward in
search of new foes.

Then, one day,

they are challenged
by a terrifying swordsman,

one with the air of the
spirits of the dead around him.

Big brother, he looks strong.

Should I help?

No, you idiot. Stay out of my way.

He's not ordinary.

His body has been possessed
by the spirits of the dead.

Big brother.

Big brother, come on! How long are
will you stand there?

Did he get you?

I'm unharmed. The battle is over.

Still, he was an incredible opponent.

Hey, big brother, he passed
out while still standing!

He won't be able to move for some time.

No, he's unconscious.

He struck at my heart with
an incredible will.

And I did the same.

So you didn't cut him with your blade?

That's right. I do not rend men.

It was a contest of wills.

Look, now my entire body is
drained of strength.

What are you doing, Dororo?

The sword! I want his sword!

You fool!

Dororo, how many times
must I tell you?

It is far too early for
you to carry a sword.

No! No! No!

I want a sword!

Because, you know!

If I have it, no one shall
call me a brat or a villain or trash.

You mustn't!

You must never touch that sword again.

Understood, Dororo?

We're going.

Hey, wait, big brother!

Why? It was a very nice sword too.

Hmph!

Hm?

Dororo! Dororo!

How do you like it?

Take a good look.

Isn't this sword incredible?

As long as I have it,
nothing will scare me any more!

Dororo!

You don't chance across a
sword like this every day.

I'll not give it up so easily.

Dororo!

Dororo!

What do you think?
Isn't this sword good?

I want to drink blood...

That's odd. I thought I
just heard a strange voice.

Blood...

I want to drink blood.

I want to drink blood.

I want to drink blood.

Blood...

I want to drink blood.

Kill!

Kill it!

W-Wait!

Curse it!

How do you like that?

Lots...

You've drank lots of blood now.

I want to drink blood.

I want to drink blood.

Men...

Kill them!

No way! I can't kill someone!

Kill them!

Kill men!

Oh, dear. What's the
matter with this dog?

It must be a stray.

It's probably starving. The poor thing.

Still, it's strange.

You seem scared.

Hey, now! Let go of me!

Hey!

Now stop that!

I said stop!

This is an incredible dog.

Hey.

Stop that, would you?

Father, we've finished visiting the temple,

let's take the little one home with us.

Okay, okay. I understand.

What is that sound?

Osushi.

Do you hear it? That sound?

It's ominous and frightful.

I don't hear a thing.
Your ears are deceiving you.

That's strange.

Osushi, let's turn back after all.

There's something ominous up ahead.

Father!

Father!

Talisman

Father, hurry!

Hold it! Hold it!

Look out! Look out!

There's a crazed killer coming!

Everyone hide indoors!

It's a crazed killer
disguised as a child!

Everyone get inside!

It's a bloodthirsty maniac!

Run!

This is hilarious!

You're all scared of me?

Cowards! Weaklings!

What are you trembling for?

Come out!

A tiny hut like this won't protect you!

Weaklings!

Curse it!

Come out here!

Come out!

I said come out! Come out!

Cowards! Weaklings!

Please, little boy.

Let me through. Please.

It's for my father, who you slashed.

He's badly hurt. I'm going to find
medicine to stem the bleeding.

Please.

I beg you, let me through. Please.

Oh, hold your tongue!

Lady, I shall cut you.

Come over here. Right here.

Why do you think such awful things?

Hmph! My mother and father both died too!

So why should I care if any of you die?

Now come here!

You're an unfortunate child.

But...

There was nothing any of us
could have done about that.

Despite that, you menace us!

It's just cruel.

Too cruel.

Silence!

Die!

Talisman

Poor boy.

He must not know what to do.

If not, there's no way such
a handsome child would go so crazy.

Food

Pardon me.

Oh!! It's Osushi!

I'm impressed you made it here safely.

My father's been slashed!

I'm sorry, could you spare me
some medicine to staunch the bleeding?

Yes, of course.

B-big brother...

Big brother, it's you!

Big brother! You've come back!

Is it really you?

Osushi?

Oh, my heart is racing!

Listen, I went to the
temple with Father today.

To pray to the Buddha for your return.

My prayers were answered.

Big brother! Big brother!

Big brother!

Big brother, I'm glad you've returned.

We were all worried.

Still, to think you were near the
village for half a year without visiting.

It's been five years.

You've gotten so thin.
You must have had a rough time.

When you were chosen to be an ashigaru
soldier in our lord's service

we were so happy.

To see you move up in the world...

That was the one thing I
had to look forward to.

I did what I should have.

Owing to this, tainted blood
has seeped into my body.

This sword is the one
friend I can trust.

You've changed from how
you were five years ago.

You look splendid, Tanosuke.

Thank you, Father.

When I go to war, I'll distinguish
myself and move up in the world.

Be careful, Tanosuke.

I'll be fine. You're the one who
needs to watch your health, Mother.

What's wrong, Osushi?

I'm just worried.
Take care of yourself.

I'll be fine!

I will, at least!

I should never have come back.

What's the matter, big brother?

Osushi, a boy with a sword
must now have entered town.

Where is he?

No, big brother! Don't go outside!

I won't let anyone tell me
what to do any more.

I'm taking that sword back.

Hah! Come at me with bows
and guns if you want!

Can't you do anything
about little old me?

That deranged urchin!

He's occupied the smithy!

We can't approach him carelessly.

Wh-What do we do?

If he's ensconced in there,
we can't approach outside.

Cowards!

Come at me!

If you don't like it, come out!

Hmph! Listen to me!

I'm the greatest thief
in the world, Dororo!!

A hated miscreant who
stalks the back streets!

You want to get me? Curse it!

Someone with guts face me!

But you're all a lot
of cowards and weaklings!

Come on!

The sword.

My sword.

O demon sword, Nihil.

Tanosuke has come to
take you back now.

What awaits Dororo, who had
been cursed by the sword,

is a cruel attempt to burn the
building down with Dororo inside.

Is this too the work of the
bloodthirsty demon sword Nihil?

Along with the cursed past of the
mercilessly bloodthirsty Nihil,

we see Tanosuke walk the path to ruin.

On next week's Dororo,

The Scroll of the Demon
Sword Nihil, Part Two.

Please, look forward to it.
