* {{Foil}}: He's Hyakkimaru's exact opposite. Hyakkimaru grew up with nothing, not even his body but he was raised lovingly by Jukai and trained by experience due to demons being naturally attracted to him. Tahōmaru grew up as the heir of a prosperous land with an able body but was never the main focus of his parents' love and was sheltered from a young age. As the series continue they both become more and more demonic for different reasons as Hyakkimaru's drive to regain his body causes him to refuse to think of the consequences and Tahōmaru's sympathetic reasons give way to his hatred and pride.

* TheAtoner: How he feels after being rescued by a foreign ship, opening a free clinic in a village afterward in the 2019 anime.
* DueToTheDead: He spends most of his time now wondering battlefields and fitting the corpses with his prostheses so they're presentable.
* HeroicBSOD: His apprentice Kaname leaving in disgust when he discovered Jukai's history essentially broke him and he spent the day wandering in a daze. He only broke out of it when he found Hykkimaru.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: After seeing a woman get mercilessly cut down by his lord for simply begging to not have her husband crucified, Jukai has this reaction and tries to [[DrivenToSuicide commit suicide]] by throwing himself off a cliff in the flashback of episode 3 for the 2019 anime.
* ReformedButRejected: All of his apprentice's goodwill towards him dries up when he learns of Jukai's past. Even after being talked down from killing Jukai on the spot, the boy refuses to forgive him and casts aside his prosthetic leg before walking away for good.

* DetectEvil: Being blind doesn't stop him from detecting the [[AuraVision energy]] of beings, especially demons. Hyakkimaru also shares this ability with Biwa-Hoshi.
* HandicappedBadass: He's blind, but he's still capable of killing demons with one slice.
* HiddenWeapons: His biwa holds a blade.
* MasterSwordsman: Despite his age, he is a very skilled swordsman.
* NiceGuy: He cares about the well being of Dororo and Hyakkimaru.
* SingleStrokeBattle: In the manga, he demonstrates to Hyakkimaru how to fight by slicing a fly in half. In the first episode of the 2019 anime, a demon challenges Biwa-Hoshi and is dealt with similarly.
* WreckedWeapon: He broke the blade of his sword when moving a boulder to save Dororo from drowning. The handle is still attachable to the biwa, but the blade is currently broken and unusable.
!! Jukai
!!! '''Voiced by:''' Creator/AkioOhtsuka
* AdaptationalVillainy: In the manga, all that is said of Jukai is that he's a doctor. In contrast, the 2019 anime gives Jukai a backstory where he used to work for a brutal warlord and was responsible for the crucifixion of would-be rebels.

!!! '''Voiced by:''' Creator/KojiYusa
* AdaptationalVillainy: In the original, he was a victim of hypnosis by Maimai-onba and had little to no control over his own actions. In contrast, the 2019 anime made him a willing participant in razing the temple and offering orphans to the moth demoness and her brood.

Instead of feeling pity for their son's predicament, he expresses joy at the confirmation that demons agreed to his deal and starts laughing maniacally, which cements just how selfish he is.
* HeManWomanHater: In the 2019 anime, he looks down on women. He thinks women are nothing more than a tool to give birth to offspring and they should be obedient with no freewill of their own. He doesn’t love his wife at all and he only married her so she can produce a son for him.

* DrivenToSuicide: In episode 12 [[spoiler:after meeting a grown up Hyakkimaru, she begs for his forgiveness for the horrible things they did to him and the fact that they still need the demons to survive. But she attempts suicide so he isn't the only one to suffer. She survives the attempt but is bedridden in the process.]]
* NiceGirl: Nui is a gentle and kind person. When she gave birth to Hyakkimaru and saw what happened to his body, she happily accepted him as her son. She is also shown to be protective of Dororo when she rescues him in episode 22 of the 2019 anime and tends to the wounds of the injured villagers in the episode.
* UnwantedSpouse: Downplayed. In the 2019 anime, she’s aware her husband never love her and he only married her so she can give birth to his heir. Nui’s relationship with him seems neutral after he took away her firstborn son away from her.
!! Daigo Tahomaru
!!! '''Voiced by:''' Shoya Chiba
* AscendedExtra: He ends up being one of the last people Hyakkimaru fights in the series, but in the original, he's largely a one-off. Later adaptations would give him a more important role, and the 2019 continuity pretty much uplifts him to main character status.
* AntiVillain: He stands against Hyakkimaru [[spoiler:because he feels only the demons can protect his people.]]
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Since the two met Hyakkimaru has been this to him. In episode 10 despite spending the episode preparing to kill a giant crab monster with an entire village's help, he fails with Hougo almost dying as a result and then Hyakkimaru arrives and instantly kills the monster with a single strike. Each time they fight one on one, Hyakkimaru has the advantage that slowly starts to grate on Tahomaru.
* BrokenPedestal: He learns everything that Daigo did to Hyakkimaru in episode 12 and is very disgusted by both his parents for their actions. [[spoiler:He still stands with his father regardless.]]
* ExtraEyes: [[spoiler: Tahomaru was given Hyakkimaru's eyes after he acts as a proxy for Asura.]]
* EyeScream: He loses one of his eyes in episode 12 [[spoiler:while fighting Hyakkimaru.]]
* HeroWorshipper: Episode 10 of the 2019 version shows that he looks up to his father, Daigō thinking he's the cause for their land's current prosperity. He ''is'', but not for the reason Tahōmaru thinks.
* {{Hypocrite}}: After standing against Hyakkimaru, he calls his older brother a demon and such. It get ridiculous by episode 22 when [[spoiler:he makes a pact with the final demon Asura, gaining Hyakkimaru's eyes thus having three eyes.]]
* MotiveDecay: He first fights Hyakkimaru to retain the remaining prosperity of his home but after getting beaten by him and having his pride wounded, he starts letting his anger get the best of him, [[spoiler:eventually going so far as to act on Asura's behalf to kill Hyakkimaru and complete the unbreakable pact between Daigo and the demons.]].

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Episode 10 of the 2019 version has him helping a small village in his land and working to kill the monster that was infesting their water simply because he felt it was his responsibility to protect his people.

* TookALevelInJerkass: He becomes much more cold-hearted after both his [[spoiler:mother's attempted suicide and quick defeat at Hyakkimaru's hands]].

* WellDoneSonGuy: Even before he found out he had an older brother, Tahōmaru was constantly trying to please his mother (who was still in mourning after Hyakkimaru was taken away).

!! Hyakkimaru
!!!'''Voiced by''': Hiroki Suzuki
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: None of Hyakki's adaptations feature him as ugly by any means, but the 2019 rendition of Hyakkimaru is much younger looking and far less muscular. The intention was to make him look "cuter" for that version.
* {{Adorkable}}: The more gentle moments when he doesn't know how to deal with things people take for granted. In episode 2, Dororo has to stop him from eating fish raw right off his sword arm. He steps in the fireplace with his own leg, burns it and tries again after wondering how that happened for a moment. Later, Dororo covers his [[spoiler: newly regained]] ears with a piece of cloth and ties it with a bow on the top. When Mio asks him to speak, he closes his mouth and sticks fingers in his ears in refusal.
* AgeLift: Inverted. Interestingly enough, despite his younger and less muscular looks, he's ''older'' in the 2019 anime - sixteen years old, while his manga counterpart was fourteen.
* AmbiguousGender: Not him, but everyone to ''him''. Since he only sees soul energy, he can't discern between men and women and only goes by the good or bad colors of the soul. This is only really the case in the 2019 version; in other adaptations and in the manga, he can somehow tell boy from girl even before he gets his sight back.
* AttackAttackAttack: At least in the 2019 adaptation, this seems to be his go-to strategy for dealing with demons. He won't stop until his target is killed, disregarding anything that might happen to him or to those around him as long as no one is in immediate danger. Jukai wonders if this isn't because he can't feel pain, and therefore has no normal self-preservation. Eventually, this crosses over into FearlessFool territory as he gets more of his parts back, as his injuries end up becoming more debilitating for him. This comes back to bite him in the butt ''hard'' when he rushes to fight the Arijigoku (antlion demon) while injured [[spoiler:twice. The first time he gets his real foot bitten off. The second time, he ends up leaving Mio and the kids undefended.]]
* {{Bishounen}}: Hyakkimaru in the 2019 anime is basically a living, life-sized ball-jointed doll, and he has a face to match.
* DisabledInTheAdaptation: While manga Hyakkimaru and 2019 anime Hyakkimaru are missing all the same parts, 2019 Hyakkimaru lacks most of the telepathic abilities the former had to bypass his lack of ears and vocal cords. Thus he starts the series off as entirely deaf and mute, whereas his manga counterpart could at least communicate verbally.
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: In the 2019 adaptation.
* HellishPupils: In the 2019 anime, Hyakkimaru and Dororo have the same dark red eyes, but Hyakkimaru's eyes alternate between having slit demonic pupils when he is fighting and round human pupils when calm or emotional.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Due to the reveal that his own father took away his body parts in a deal with the demons, Hyakkimaru spitefully refuses to think about the consequences about killing demons will have on others. [[spoiler:This attitude actually disgusts Dororo enough in episode 15 that she leaves him.]]
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Growing up deaf, blind, and mute, Hyakkimaru doesn't have a lot of options for communication. So when he does reach out to others, it's usually by touch--whether his theoretical conversation partner is comfortable with it or not.
* ScreamingWarrior: Downplayed in the anime but he's gained this status once he got his voice back, [[spoiler:baying with grief during his ExtremeMeleeRevenge against Mio's killers and]] doing so to call for Dororo during the Nokosaregumo fight. It might be in part because he hasn't quite gotten the hang of articulating words yet.
* TheSpeechless: In the 2019 anime. [[spoiler:Even after regaining his voice at the end of episode 5, he's reluctant to use it, as he finds the sound of his own voice unpleasant--[[RealityEnsues and only knows about four words]]. He starts to speak more by Episode 13 of the 2019 Anime.]]
* SuddenlyVoiced: His first words aren't all that great, considering his was reeling from [[spoiler:his first love's death]]:
--> "''Mi...o...''"
* WildChild: In the 2019 anime, as his lack of senses made it difficult to communicate with what little human contact he had growing up. Not only does he have NoSocialSkills, he doesn't even have ''language''.
* WonderChild: Especially in the 2019 anime, where Jukai discovers him while on the verge of a DespairEventHorizon in a manner implying that the Buddha brought them together.
* WouldHitAGirl: In contrast to his manga counterpart, in the 2019 version Dororo has less reservations about killing women, given the second monster we saw disguised itself as a woman, but that can be justified as he can't see or distinguish between male and female soul energy.
!! Dororo
!!!'''Voiced by''': Rio Suzuki
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Most adaptations make Dororo much [[AgeLift older]], and in the process much more visibly feminine along the way. When Dororo is kept as a child, the character design often makes the kid look more conventionally cute instead of scrappy.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In the 2019 anime adaptation, most of Dororo's reckless and HotBlooded tendencies are removed and he is far kinder and more worldy than the manga version, often acting as a genuine caretaker for Hyakkimaru who struggles with anything other than demon-slaying.
* TheCaretaker: In the 2019 version. Being blind, deaf and lacking in social skills, Hyakkimaru can't fully take care of himself outside of hunting, so when Dororo joins him the kid basically acts as his eyes and ears, often feeding him and keeping him out of danger as well. A far cry from the {{Protectorate}} Dororo was in the original.
** In #19 he has an arguement with Hyakkimaru over why he shouldn't be randomly grabbing people's faces to greet them and it sounds exactly like a parent scolding their child. It even ends with ''[[BecauseISaidSo Because I say so.]]''
* DistressedDude: [[spoiler:Or more accurately DamselInDistress though her kidnappers didn't know so. At the end of episode 15 of the 2019 version, Dororo gets kidnapped by Itachi and his men to search for the hidden treasure that her parent hidden.]]
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: As Hyakkimaru is emotionally stunted and on the borderline between human and demon in the 2019 anime, Dororo represents his humanity and connection to the outside world.
* MoralityChain: He is there to make sure Hyakkimaru doesn't become the same as the demons he fights. Hyakkimaru even acknowledges Dororo as his tie to being human in the anime.
* PleaseDontLeaveMe: In episode 9 Dororo catches an illness, a kind nun lets Dororo sleep in her monastery. He wakes up as Hyakkimaru is out getting water and freaks out that Hyakkimaru left in his sleep.
* RaisedAsTheOppositeGender: Unlike in the manga where [[spoiler: Dororo didn't even know she was a girl, in the anime she was aware the entire time, but was still raised as a boy and doesn't want anyone to find out the truth]].
* ShamefulStrip: [[spoiler:Itachi and his men forcefully strip down Dororo naked to find the map somewhere on Dororo's body only to discover her true gender and the missing half of the map. This leaves Dororo ashamed and disgusted after Itachi and his men saw her body.]]
* UnsettlingGenderReveal: [[spoiler: Averted in the 2019 adaptation, where Hyakkimaru is simply informed by a nun taking care of her when she is sick. They played straight for Itachi after her ShamefulStrip to find her half of the TreasureMap, and he actually feels bad about stripping her.]]

[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mutsu_dororo_2019_anime.png]]
Mutsu is the archer in service of Tahomaru. She is also the elder sister of Hyogo.
----
* AmbiguousGender: He looks like a young man and yet has soft feminine voice. [[spoiler:In episode 21, it was confirmed she's a woman dressed in men's clothing.]]
* AnArmAndALeg: [[spoiler:She loses her right arm in episode 21 while fighting Hyakkimaru. She loses her left arm in episode 23 while fighting Midoro.]]
* ArtificialLimbs: [[spoiler:She was given Hyakkimaru's right arm after acting as Asura's proxy.]]
* ArcherArchetype: A cool, level-headed and proficient archer. Even when offering Tahomaru advice, he stays distant.
* CanonForeigner: She along with Hyogo never appear in the original manga and he only appears in the 2019 version.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Their parents were murdered in front of them by soldiers of Asakura's clan and they were locked up in a cage with other prisoners and left to rot. Everyone else has died by the time Daigo's soldiers get to the place. When Daigo Kagemitsu himself goes up to them, Hyoga bites on his arm and Mutsu threatens him with a sharpened bone.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Attempts to sacrifice herself to Asura so that the demon will continue to uphold the pact since she's already dying of the plague anyway. This fails since the pact can only be satisfied with Hyakkimaru's body.]]
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:She was fatally wounded and killed by Midoro.]]
* RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Hyogo's and Tahomaru's red. Mutsu is very focused and calm, using a weapon that requires precision and steadiness. On the other hand, Tahomaru is very passionate and Hyogo, while still mostly stoic, is more hesitant and specializes more in brute strength.
* SiblingTeam: With Hyogo, being the long-range backup to Hyogo's melee.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Tahomaru because Daigo saved them and they were raised alongside Tahomaru.
!! Hyogo

* BigLittleBrother: He's slightly taller than his older sibling, Mutsu, and brawnier-looking.
* CanonForeigner: He along with Mutsu never appear in the original manga and he only appears in the 2019 version.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Hoo boy, they have. Their parents were murdered in front of them by soldiers of Asakura's clan and they were locked up in a cage with other prisoners and left to rot. Everyone else has died by the time Daigo's soldiers get to the place. When Daigo Kagemitsu himself enters the cage, Hyoga bites on his arm and Mutsu threatens him with a sharpened bone taken from one of the corpes.
* OffWithHisHead: [[spoiler:He was killed by Midoro after bitten his head off.]]
* RedOniBlueOni: Red to his brother Mutsu's blue. Hyogo is stoic and reliable, but is more prone to uncertainty and often Mutsu is the one to do the diplomatic talking. As well, Mutsu uses a bow, which requires precision and steadiness to use, while Hyogo is more about brute strength.
* SiblingTeam: With Mutsu, being the melee attacker to Mutsu's sharpshooting.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Tahomaru because Daigo saved them and they were raised alongside Tahomaru.

* LoveAtFirstSight: She fell in love at Hyyakimaru at first sight after [[HeadbuttOfLove Hyyakimaru touch her forehead with his.]] She thought it was a sign of affection even though they just met.
* SecondLove: Okowa is Hyyakkimaru's second love interest after Mio's death. However, this ends up as a RomanticFalseLead since it was a misunderstanding caused by an Amanojaku that makes everyone speaking the opposites of what they mean. It also means that Hyyakkimaru wasn't into her. She takes this in stride, however.

!! Munetsuna
!!!'''Voiced by''': Kazuhiro Yamaji (2019 anime)
Munetsuna is the father of Okowa and is known as the best swordmaker in the land. He is the one who sharpened and fixed up Hyakkimaru's arm blades. Although he makes a living by making swords, he has expressed discontent with the products he has made and wishes that he would make a sword for peace and not bloodshed.
----
* BadassNormal: He manages to knockdown down an Amanojaku without any efforts.
* CanonForeigner: He's one of the characters who never appear in the original manga and he only appears in the 2019 version.
----
!! Hyakkimaru
!!!'''Voiced by''': Hiroki Suzuki
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: None of Hyakki's adaptations feature him as ugly by any means, but the 2019 rendition of Hyakkimaru is much younger looking and far less muscular. The intention was to make him look "cuter" for that version.
* {{Adorkable}}: The more gentle moments when he doesn't know how to deal with things people take for granted. In episode 2, Dororo has to stop him from eating fish raw right off his sword arm. He steps in the fireplace with his own leg, burns it and tries again after wondering how that happened for a moment. Later, Dororo covers his [[spoiler: newly regained]] ears with a piece of cloth and ties it with a bow on the top. When Mio asks him to speak, he closes his mouth and sticks fingers in his ears in refusal.
* AgeLift: Inverted. Interestingly enough, despite his younger and less muscular looks, he's ''older'' in the 2019 anime - sixteen years old, while his manga counterpart was fourteen.
* AmbiguousGender: Not him, but everyone to ''him''. Since he only sees soul energy, he can't discern between men and women and only goes by the good or bad colors of the soul. This is only really the case in the 2019 version; in other adaptations and in the manga, he can somehow tell boy from girl even before he gets his sight back.
* AttackAttackAttack: At least in the 2019 adaptation, this seems to be his go-to strategy for dealing with demons. He won't stop until his target is killed, disregarding anything that might happen to him or to those around him as long as no one is in immediate danger. Jukai wonders if this isn't because he can't feel pain, and therefore has no normal self-preservation. Eventually, this crosses over into FearlessFool territory as he gets more of his parts back, as his injuries end up becoming more debilitating for him. This comes back to bite him in the butt ''hard'' when he rushes to fight the Arijigoku (antlion demon) while injured [[spoiler:twice. The first time he gets his real foot bitten off. The second time, he ends up leaving Mio and the kids undefended.]]
* {{Bishounen}}: Hyakkimaru in the 2019 anime is basically a living, life-sized ball-jointed doll, and he has a face to match.
* DisabledInTheAdaptation: While manga Hyakkimaru and 2019 anime Hyakkimaru are missing all the same parts, 2019 Hyakkimaru lacks most of the telepathic abilities the former had to bypass his lack of ears and vocal cords. Thus he starts the series off as entirely deaf and mute, whereas his manga counterpart could at least communicate verbally.
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: In the 2019 adaptation.
* HellishPupils: In the 2019 anime, Hyakkimaru and Dororo have the same dark red eyes, but Hyakkimaru's eyes alternate between having slit demonic pupils when he is fighting and round human pupils when calm or emotional.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Due to the reveal that his own father took away his body parts in a deal with the demons, Hyakkimaru spitefully refuses to think about the consequences about killing demons will have on others. [[spoiler:This attitude actually disgusts Dororo enough in episode 15 that she leaves him.]]
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Growing up deaf, blind, and mute, Hyakkimaru doesn't have a lot of options for communication. So when he does reach out to others, it's usually by touch--whether his theoretical conversation partner is comfortable with it or not.
* ScreamingWarrior: Downplayed in the anime but he's gained this status once he got his voice back, [[spoiler:baying with grief during his ExtremeMeleeRevenge against Mio's killers and]] doing so to call for Dororo during the Nokosaregumo fight. It might be in part because he hasn't quite gotten the hang of articulating words yet.
* TheSpeechless: In the 2019 anime. [[spoiler:Even after regaining his voice at the end of episode 5, he's reluctant to use it, as he finds the sound of his own voice unpleasant--[[RealityEnsues and only knows about four words]]. He starts to speak more by Episode 13 of the 2019 Anime.]]
* SuddenlyVoiced: His first words aren't all that great, considering his was reeling from [[spoiler:his first love's death]]:
--> "''Mi...o...''"
* WildChild: In the 2019 anime, as his lack of senses made it difficult to communicate with what little human contact he had growing up. Not only does he have NoSocialSkills, he doesn't even have ''language''.
* WonderChild: Especially in the 2019 anime, where Jukai discovers him while on the verge of a DespairEventHorizon in a manner implying that the Buddha brought them together.
* WouldHitAGirl: In contrast to his manga counterpart, in the 2019 version Dororo has less reservations about killing women, given the second monster we saw disguised itself as a woman, but that can be justified as he can't see or distinguish between male and female soul energy.
!! Dororo
!!!'''Voiced by''': Rio Suzuki
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Most adaptations make Dororo much [[AgeLift older]], and in the process much more visibly feminine along the way. When Dororo is kept as a child, the character design often makes the kid look more conventionally cute instead of scrappy.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In the 2019 anime adaptation, most of Dororo's reckless and HotBlooded tendencies are removed and he is far kinder and more worldy than the manga version, often acting as a genuine caretaker for Hyakkimaru who struggles with anything other than demon-slaying.
* TheCaretaker: In the 2019 version. Being blind, deaf and lacking in social skills, Hyakkimaru can't fully take care of himself outside of hunting, so when Dororo joins him the kid basically acts as his eyes and ears, often feeding him and keeping him out of danger as well. A far cry from the {{Protectorate}} Dororo was in the original.
** In #19 he has an arguement with Hyakkimaru over why he shouldn't be randomly grabbing people's faces to greet them and it sounds exactly like a parent scolding their child. It even ends with ''[[BecauseISaidSo Because I say so.]]''
* DistressedDude: [[spoiler:Or more accurately DamselInDistress though her kidnappers didn't know so. At the end of episode 15 of the 2019 version, Dororo gets kidnapped by Itachi and his men to search for the hidden treasure that her parent hidden.]]
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: As Hyakkimaru is emotionally stunted and on the borderline between human and demon in the 2019 anime, Dororo represents his humanity and connection to the outside world.
