* CopeByCreating: She sings so that she doesn't feel sadness [[spoiler:even when she's selling her body]].
* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: Her death in ''Blood Will Tell'' is slightly different than in most versions, as there [[spoiler:she's killed by one of the Fiends instead of by Daigo's soldiers.]]
* DefiledForever: [[spoiler:Mio reveals that she feels dirty for selling her body every night, even thinking her soul is dirty.]]
** Subverted in the 2019 anime. Shortly after Mio voices her concerns, the scene cuts to [[POVCam Biwa-hoshi's perspective]] showing her soul to be spotless. Later, Dororo reacts very poorly when Mio calls his mother "admirable" for never taking up [[spoiler:sex work]]--a decision which led to her starving to death--and counters that Mio is just as (if not more) admirable for doing what most wouldn't to survive.
* LoveAtFirstNote: Her songs are very beautiful and Hyakkimaru first meets her by following the sound of her singing. Mio's songs are the only sounds that can calm Hyakkimaru after getting his ears back.
* HookerWithAHeartOfGold: [[spoiler:To get money to sustain herself and the children she takes care of, she sells herself to soldiers at night as a job.]]
* NotWhatItLooksLike: She sells herself to multiple enemy camps, [[spoiler:which leads to one of them thinking she's a spy.]]
* NiceGirl: She's a very sweet and kind person. When Hyakkimaru is attracted to her singing and follows the sound to her, she realizes that he's blind, but doesn't act in fear and is very friendly towards him in their first meeting. She also decides to let him, Dororo, and Biwa-Hoshi stay in her home.
* StuffedIntoTheFridge: [[spoiler:She's murdered by soldiers who mistake her for a spy, which triggers Hyakkimaru into an UnstopabbleRage.]]
* TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: Too good indeed... She's one of the most kind-hearted and selfless characters in the story. [[spoiler:And her kindness is repaid with her being killed]].
* TragicDream: She wanted to grow a large rice paddy so that she and the children would no longer starve. [[spoiler:And she had just purchased seeds the day they were all killed.]]

! Hibukuro and Ojiya
!!!'''Voiced by''': Kenta Miyake (Hibukuro, 2019 anime), Ayumi Fujimura (Ojiya, 2019 anime)
* BladeOnAStick: Hibukuro's personal weapon in the 2019 adaptation, so much so that a samurai actually recognized him because of the weapon.
* ItsPersonal: Ojiya has no mercy for samurai, given that most of her family had been killed in war circumstances either directly or indirectly caused by them. Hibukuro also loathed samurai and created a bandit group made solely of disgruntled farmers just to raid them.
* GoodParents: They both loved Dororo and despite being down on their luck later on, they focused on keeping him alive.
* OutlivingOnesOffspring: Their two eldest children both died before the flashback.
* SilkHidingSteel: While a dutiful wife and mother, Ojiya also had the means to protect her household as well and knew how to fight in the manga. Less so in the 2019 version.
* TakingYouWithMe: After Hibukuro is fatally stabbed, he grabs his murderer and gives him a bear hug so the blade pieces him too.
* TreasureMap: Hibukuro tattoo his wife’s back the first half of the map before his death.

[[caption-width-right:250: Biwa-Hoshi as seen in the 2019 anime]]
[[WanderingMinstrel A Wandering Monk with a biwa]], he accompanies the duo in their adventures.
----
* DetectEvil: Being blind doesn't stop him from detecting the [[AuraVision energy]] of beings, especially demons. Hyakkimaru also shares this ability with Biwa-Hoshi.
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: "Biwa-Hoshi" literally means "lute priest," and he goes unnamed in the Tezuka manga. Time will tell if this is true in the 2019 anime.
* HandicappedBadass: Is blind. 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.
* 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.

Hyakkimaru's adoptive father. A doctor who specializes in prostheses, he gave Hyakkimaru a body, including Hyakkimaru's katana-concealing arms.
----
* 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.
* 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.
* ParentalSubstitute: The closest thing Hyakkimaru has to an actually good father.
* 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.
