  • Fan Translation: Ainikki translated Jinzō Toriumi's novel trilogy from February to December 2021. She's currently working on Part 2 of Masaru Nakamura's novelization of the live-action film since January 2022, with estimated completion in late August 2022.
  • Follow the Leader: Apparently the series came around to compete with GeGeGe no Kitarō, as Tezuka felt he could write his own horror story featuring yokai.
  • Self-Adaptation: Masaru Nakamura novelized the live-action film adaptation of the manga that he wrote with Akihiko Shiota.
  • What Could Have Been: In one alternate planned ending for the series, Hyakkimaru would find himself faced with getting his last part back, but in the worst way possible— Dororo has it, and Hyakkimaru must kill the child if he wants to retrieve it. However, Hyakkimaru can't bring himself to hurt his friend like that. This ending was explored in Blood Will Tell, however.
