Glowing in the red of sunset,

Hoge hoge tara tara hoge tara pon!

A sword is not for cutting down men,



but for defending oneself.

However, there are times
when this spirit fails,

and without the willing of its bearer,

the sword itself becomes obsessive,
as though it were alive.

One sword flies from its scabbard at
the sight of men to drink blood.

Another sword summons fog and
slashes at its victims when drawn.

And yet another sword,

even after drinking the
blood of hundreds of men,

continues to shine on the battlefield,
without so much as a chip in its blade.

The obsession of these swords possesses
their wielders, inviting misfortune.

People called the swords
demon swords and feared them.

The Scroll of the Demon Sword Nihil

Bearing a cursed fate,

Hyakkimaru and Dororo, who
travel in search of 48 demons,

encountered the mad killer Tanosuke
and were challenged to a battle.

Tanosuke carried a sword possessed
by the spirits of the dead,

the demon sword Nihil.

He wandered the world at those
spirits' behest, searching for blood.

Hyakkimaru won their battle.

However, the sword fell
into Dororo's hands.

Drawn to this demon sword,

Dororo stole Nihil from the battlefield,

but was now possessed
in Tanosuke's place,

following the sword's command and
raging in search of blood.

Then, at a temple, Dororo
attacks a father and daughter,

then chases them back to their village,

finally holing up in a small hut.

Eventually, Tanosuke came to
the village to reclaim Nihil.

Ignoring his little sister, who was
overjoyed at her brother's return,

Tanosuke walks to the hut where
the desperate Dororo has hidden.

Hey! Weaklings! Cowards!

Just try to come in here!

You can't even deal with little
old me all on my own?

You don't like it? Then
come with bows or muskets!

Samurai, you shouldn't come too close.

There's no telling what
that little runt might do!!

He's nuts! Don't give
him the time of day!

I will take back that sword.

Oh, here comes one of them.

Heh!

Hey, sword, I'll let you
drink some more blood.

Boy, give back the sword.

Right now, I'm still
willing to forgive you.

What? What happened?

He got taken out!

B-big brother!

Big brother! Big brother!

I knew you'd be here.

Osushi, go home.

Listen, you just go home.

What's wrong, you cowardly weakling!?

We aren't done here yet.

If you're frustrated about it,
then come at me!

I'll never lose!

Big brother, please, don't go.

If you go now, that child
will surely go mad and die.

Big brother!

Thank you, big brother.

What is it, big brother?

Osushi.

In the end, that sword...

That sword is something
I absolutely must have.

Big brother.

Please, understand.

You look splendid, Tanosuke.

Thank you, Father.

When I go to the castle,

I'll work my hardest to earn
an audience with our lord.

Then I'll distinguish myself
and move up in the world!

Be careful, big brother.

You stay well too.

I'm counting on you to
look after Mother and Father.

Nikki Tanosuke, raise your head.

Our lord was surprisingly pleased.

You completed the fortress
ahead of schedule.

You deserve a medal
for this! Well done!

Continue your work with even
greater effort, he said.

Use this sword.

Tanosuke.

Kill all the carpenters!

M-My lord.

What is the matter, Tanosuke?

Did you not understand my orders?

B-But, my lord...

These carpenters have
done nothing wrong.

I do not understand why...
Why must I kill them?

Please, spare them.

Tanosuke, hold your tongue!

These men built the
fortress's watchtowers!

They might inform the enemies
about their secrets.

And so, to protect those secrets,
you will kill them!

- Please, spare me this!
- What nonsense are you babbling?

The lord has given you his orders!

Kill! Kill them!

Kill them Tanosuke!

Your skills are incredible, Tanosuke.

I will let you use that sword.

I-I am pleased to serve.

From then on,

I was controlled by that sword.

I went to war a number of times.

I don't know how many
dozens of enemies I slew.

The sword got a taste for blood,

crying out for it even after
the battles had ended.

I became a slave to that sword.

The reason I never
returned to the village,

and why I was wandering around
nearby should be apparent now.

Big brother.

Home... Come home with me.

That would be for the best.

Got it?

Be careful he doesn't
figure out our plan.

Once the boy's been smoked out,
throw your stones at him.

Go!

Ah! Oh, no!

There he is! Kill him!

Owl

Now! Beat him to death!

Go!

Wait!

Dororo!

Dororo! Dororo! Hang in there!

Big brother...

You fool! What did you
think you were doing?

I've been looking all over for you!

Big brother...

I wanted to be cool.

Everyone, listen to me!

I know this child caused you trouble,
but it's not his fault!

It's all because of that sword's magic!

What? Don't give us this nonsense!

You're blaming the sword?

Who would ever believe that?

Wait!

It's true!

When you hold that sword,
it makes you want to kill people!

Darling! Darling!

My husband... My husband...!

Look!

When he holds that sword,
it makes him want to kill!

Big brother, the look in his eyes has changed!

That's right.

He'll keep on killing.

This is bad!
He's headed for that house!

Whose house is it?

That's Osushi's house!

Her sick father is in there!

No! If we leave him be,
everyone will be at risk!

Big brother! I'll go too!

You fool! How many times must
I say this before you understand?

Children should keep quiet
and stay out of the way!

Understood?

Who's there?

Oh, big brother!

Your complexion is terrible.

Osushi, step aside.

B-big brother...

Move. Step aside.

No...I No! No! No!

Hold it!

This time, I'll take
that sword from you!

You again?

This sword is mine.
I will hand it over to no one.

Stop this, both of you!

Please, don't kill my brother!

Your brother?

He's my brother!
My one and only brother!

It's out of my hands.

If he comes at me, one of the
two of us shall die.

No! No! No! Stop this!

My brother finally came back to me!!

Don't cut him down!

Please, don't kill my brother.

If I don't cut him down,
I shall die.

Big brother! Big brother!

Y-Your arm...!

I'll kill you!

You madman, hand over that sword!

Don't make me laugh!

This sword is mine!

I won't hand it over
even if I die! I won't!

Blood. Give me blood.

I want to drink blood.

I want to drink blood.
You want blood, Nihil?

You want blood, Nihil?

I want to drink blood.
You want blood, Nihil?

I want to drink blood.

I want to drink blood.
I'll let you drink your fill now!

However, it seems I won't
be able to get you his.

Drink my blood!

Drink!

Drink! This is your last feast!

Big brother!

Curse you, spirits of the dead!

Look.

The sword died. A sword died.

Big brother...

Big brother!

See what it means to carry a sword?

Take a good look.

Big brother! Big brother!

A demonic aura.

There are many more demonic
auras like that one out there.

Nikki Tanosuke's Grave

Nikki Tanosuke

Nikki

My eye.

My eye hurts!

I can see.

I can see!

It's faint, but I can see!

Big brother!

Are you okay?

I can see!

You're a blur, but I can see you!

So that's what your face was like.

You're cuter than I thought.

I thought you'd look more annoying.

You fiend! You inhuman monster!

Look what you did to my
brother! You murderer!

You thug! Get out of here!

I did everything I could.

But I couldn't live up to your hopes.

I'm sorry.

Let's be on our way, Dororo.

This, I will say at least.

Young lady, you really are beautiful.

Big brother, don't laugh, okay?

I have something to say to her.

What? You can just
go ahead and say it.

Miss!

I promise you!!

I'll never want a sword again!

I shall never carry a sword again!

Okay?

Hyakkimaru and Dororo travel to a
country's border, known as a banmon,

where a nine-tailed demon fox lives.

There, they encounter
Hyakkimaru's father,

Daigo Kagemitsu, who sacrificed
his son for his own ambitions,

as well as his mother and
his brother Tahoumaru.

Not knowing they are blood relatives,

Hyakkimaru is caught in
a vortex of jealousy.

On next week's Dororo,
The Scroll of the Banmon, Part One.

Please look forward to it.
