| Dororo (Manga) | comment |
One of many series by the prolific and much-loved Osamu Tezuka, Dororo is the tale of Hyakkimaru, a wandering swordsman who bears an odd burden: he was born without most of his body parts (including eyes, ears, a tongue, and limbs) thanks to his father striking a deal with forty-eight demons. Abandoned and raised by a country doctor, Hyakkimaru learned to use his sixth sense to compensate for his lacking the other five but eventually discovered his condition made him a magnet for supernatural weirdness.Equipped with a number of prosthetics made by his adopted father, along with a pair of quality blades, Hyakkimaru wanders Japan righting wrongs, helping the helpless, tracking down the demons that stole his parts, and brutally cutting down anyone foolish enough to mess with him. Along the way, he picks up a hanger-on in the young, self-proclaimed master thief Dororo, who it turns out is the orphaned child of a notorious bandit king who was brought low by the shogunate.The manga originally began in Weekly Shonen Sunday in 1967, only to be cancelled in 1968. It later moved to the magazine Bouken'ou in 1969, where it concluded. It has had two anime adaptations, one in 1969 which was the first entry in World Masterpiece Theater, and the other in 2019.Not to be confused with one of the characters from Sgt. Frog nor Dorohedoro, which also has an anime adaptation made by MAPPA. | |

Darker and Edgier: The new manga re-telling is on the same levels of darker themes as the 2019 anime adaptation. The characters are drawn with a more modern design and the action scenes are drawn in an intense and gritty artstyle. | |

Crapsack World: Tezuka had a distinctly unromanticized view of the Sengoku period, which he depicted in this and other Samurai stories as a war torn, famine and disease-ridden hellhole littered with the ruins of burned out villages and corpses of defeated soldiers and murdered civilians... and then he introduced 48 demons to it! | |

Set Swords to "Stun": While fighting possessed Dororo, Hyakkimaru attacks with the back of his katana. Which deals damage to Dororo's health, but doesn't kill her once her health is depleted. Winning said battle have Dororo getting knocked out non-fatally so Hyakkimaru can remove the Evil Weapon possessing Dororo. This also applies to non-fatal battles against human opponents, with the pre-battle description stating that Hyakkimaru is only to use his powers to kill only fiends. | |

Side Quest: Some of the 48 fiends are completely optional bosses you have to search the game area to find and fight. You can get through the game without defeating all of them, though it is useful to do so, as each recovered body part improves Hyakkimaru's combat abilities. | |

Kick the Dog | |
| Dororo (Manga) / int_34dcfc96 | comment |
Kick the Dog: Surprisingly not the demons (despite taking Hyakkimaru's body parts and terrorizing medieval Japan), but the human warlord Kisoji in regards to his warhorse. When he finds the horse, Midoro, tending to her foal, he forcibly separates them, believing that a warhorse can't afford to be tender. He sells the colt to a nearby farmer so she won't be distracted and beats her whenever she mopes on the battlefield. Is it any surprise that she allows a demon to possess her dying body to get revenge on humanity? But not before trampling Kisoji for his mistreatment of her. | |

Single-Stroke Battle | |
| Dororo (Manga) / int_4565d81d | comment |
Single-Stroke Battle: The first encounter with Tanosuke and the sword Nihil. Funny thing is, it's both a parody and subversion. After a build up, the two fighters are frozen in place for almost twelve hours.It's a parody because Dororo comes running up to Hyakkimaru and asks him why he's still standing there, and a subversion because the actual 'stroke' wasn't with swords but their will (the other guy's still standing because he's unconscious and physically locked in place). Hyakkimaru and Tahomaru have a conventional one when they finally meet. | |

Heel–Face Turn: In the climax, Tahomaru fights Hyakkimaru out of jealously over their mother's affection, but once he witnesses the horror of their father Kagetmitsu becoming a demon to bring him back to life, he lets go of all negative feelings and accepts Hyakkimaru as his older brother, willing to watch over his rightful place until he comes back from his journey. | |

Threatening Shark | |

Threatening Shark: A wily bandit and his men kidnap Dororo so they can use the map imprinted on his back to locate a treasure above a mountain in a small cape. They try to make the captured villagers row them to the cape, but they refuse to do so because an evil spirit disguised as a fish would always eat them before they got there, forcing the bandits to kill them. Then a suspicious man appears and volunteers to row them, and once they're in the middle of the sea, it's revealed the man has tricked them and half the bandit's men become food to his two pet sharks, Jiromaru and Saburomaru, who are actually possessed by demons. | |

Adaptational Badass: Dororo in the original manga and anime? Cocky little thief who can take a hit from a human adult, and give one right back, but is no match for the supernatural threats Hyakkimaru eats for breakfast. Dororo in Blood Will Tell? Can and will dish out 47 different flavors of hurt to any boss dumb enough to get within range of his mighty plum-sized fists (a slight exaggeration, but he is completely able to hack down a significant portion of their health bar on his own). | |

Eldritch Abomination: Most of the bosses, and they can look downright nightmare-inducing at times.

And has a large human eye in place of a head, which it uses to spam Eye Beams at Hyakkimaru during the battle. Scourge is a pile of severed human limbs taking the form of an amphibian-looking monster. The Fire Golem, despite it's name, is a flesh-and-blood skinless monster whose body is constantly on fire. And it's spine and skull are sticking out of it's flesh. Behemoth, the Final Boss, a horned skeletal monstrosity with flesh peeking out it's ribcages, draconic wings, eyes on it's chest, Skull for a Head... | |

Art-Shifted Sequel: Similarly to the 2019 anime adaptation, the main characters are drawn in a different and more modern style, although some of the side characters such as the villagers are drawn in the Tezuka style. Hyakkimaru is a little bit older just like in the original manga and original anime adaptation. Dororo looks closer to being in her preteens. And Tahomaru also looks quite a bit older as well. | |

Gotta Kill Them All: Actually doing so and getting all of Hyakkimaru body parts (besides his arm) via Side Quest before the last chapter leads to the "true ending." | |

Tank Goodness | |
| Dororo (Manga) / int_cd809603 | comment |
Tank Goodness: The Dragon Tank boss is a chimaera monster whose lower body is a tank (or at least, a Bamboo Technology medieval Japanese equivalent). It spends the whole battle charging all over the place with tackling attacks. | |

Lighter and Softer | |
| Dororo (Manga) / int_ce6555f0 | comment |
Lighter and Softer: In the original manga, Hyakkimaru grows increasingly bitter, jaded and vicious as the story continues and he is continuously exposed to the horrors of the Fiends, war, and the ungratefulness of those he saves (the village he saves from the Fiend Yudai being a prime example), with heroism being pretty much an afterthought. In Blood Will Tell, he's played as being far more heroic and idealistic from the get-go, and never quite loses it all. | |

Deliberately Monochrome: Comes with limited sound, too. When you begin the game, everything is monochrome and soundless, to represent Hyakkimaru's missing body parts. You get sound and color back in their full intended glory once you retrieve Hyakkimaru's ears and eyes, respectively. | |

Anti-Frustration Features: If you complete a chapter, the game will tell you how many Fiends you need to defeat upon replaying that chapter and will even mark their location on the map. Defeating all Hidden Fiends in that chapter will also prompt you to save the game to prevent you from losing hours of progress. | |
