One of the animators started he is working on an episode 15, so it’s mroe then one four.
It’d say it’s twelve demons that have hyakkimaruks body parts, and most of the other 48 could end up being minor demons in the way of the 12 important ones.
Watch SymphogearAnyone ever see the 2007 movie? It was pretty solid. It also only had Hyakkimaru getting back 24 parts, but that's because of the And the Adventure Continues ending implying he'll get the other 24 back.

I saw it. Really good movie, and I had a great time watching it along with my sister.
I did find it funny that the person playing Dororo also played Mitsuko from Battle Royale.
"I squirm, I struggle, ergo I am. Faced with death, I am finally, truly alive."
Blood Will Tell is actually how I heard about Dororo in the first place. My college housemate had the game, and I watched him play it. Then I researched it and found out it was based on an Osamu Tezuka manga.
Yeah, Blood Will Tell is the first I heard about Dororo, then the movie is the first I actually experienced (didn't have a PS 2 at the time).
... could probably stand to give Blood Will Tell its own page. Which... huh. Means that we've got a Manga page, a Video Game page, and an Anime folder (which could and probably should also be split off). Meaning it would be trivial to make it qualify for a Franchise/ page which is... surprising for such an obscure franchise.

In Blood Will Tell he's instead The Chosen One with divinely gifted power meant to fight demons. That same power is what keeps him alive even without his body parts. That's why he gets improved stats and abilities whenever he recovers a body part — it's freeing up more of his power.

Disgusted, but not surprisedYeah, I just learned that he was telepathic is the original manga.
Which I'm kind of torn about? Like they are a bunch of moments in this where I'm left scratching my head over how Hyakkimaru was able to understand what was going on if he's supposed to be deaf, numb, and can only see the vague outlines of living things. But on the other hand, if he's got aura sight, magically articulating prosthetics and telepathy, then his disabilities cease to really matter- he becomes, at least in my eyes, a significantly less compelling character, and doesn't have a strong reason to want to reclaim his body parts.

There was no thread for this, so here it is.
Dororo is adapted from Tedzuka Osamu's 1967 manga, with a more gritty artstyle. It follows the quest of Hyakkimaru, a wandering samurai who was born without most of his body parts due to a Deal with the Devil made by his power-hungry feudal lord of a father − he is blind, deaf, mute, has prostetic arms and legs and no skin on his face. Not the best lot in life. Hyakkimaru must slay 12 demons to recover those body parts one by one… and in the process stumbles upon Dororo, a young orphaned thief of unclear gender who will accompany him in his journey.
So far the action, soundtrack and pacing are very solid, so I'm curious to see where this will go. =]
