Dororo takes the young man to a village run by the beautiful woman named Bandai offering to slay a local monster for a reward. While there, they meet the blind monk Biwa-Houshi who can also detect people’s souls. They discover that Bandai is a demon who has been eating travellers, and Young Man slays her. A strange being reveals to them that the Villagers were helping Bandai, while taking the money of the travelers for themselves; It was this being that the villagers wanted slayed as it constantly rang a small bell, that the very first traveler held, and the noise of which is haunting the villagers. Afterwards, Houshi joins Dororo and the young man regains his nervous system from slaying the demon and reveals his name, as Hyakkimaru to Dororo.

The story is told of Jukai-sensei, a doctor who not only healed the sick, but also made prostheses for those who had lost limbs in accidents or war. He once worked for Lord Shiba, crucifying wounded enemies until the day his loved one was killed by Shiba's soldiers and he leapt into the sea. He was rescued by foreigners and learned how to make prosthetics. One day he found Lord Daigo Kagemitsu's abandoned and limbless infant on a riverbank. He took the child home and later made prostheses for him so that he could move about and appear human. Six years later Jukai gave him the name Hyakkimaru. After Hyakkimaru killed the demon Kamaitachi and his right leg was returned to him, Jukai realized that although the boy attracted demons, his body parts were probably stolen by demons. Later, Jukai inserted swords into Hyakkimaru’s prosthetic arms before the young man left Jukai to travel alone. Back in the present, Hyakkimaru returns to Dororo and Houshi after killing a demon, but now appears to have the ability to feel pain. (Source: Revolvy)

Dororo chats with the girl Osushi while Hyakkimaru stands outside experiencing the rain. Suddenly, Hyakkimaru detects a demon sword and rushes off. He encounters a man wielding the sword, and only manages to defeat him by trapping the sword in his prosthetic leg. Dororo goes to retrieve the leg, but when Dororo touches the sword it pulls Dororo back to its owner, the brother of Osushi. Osushi brings her brother Tanosuke home, but he is only interested in the sword. Tanosuke recalls how he was given the demon sword Nihiru (似蛭), and how it changed his life in its eternal search for blood. Meanwhile, Hyakkimaru disarms Dororo, but Tanosuke seizes the sword again, and attacks Hyakkimaru. This time Hyakkimaru kills Tanosuke and Hyakkimaru's ears are returned to him. (Source: Revolvy)

Hyakkimaru is having difficulty adjusting to his new hearing when he is suddenly attacked by a huge bird-like monster and is only saved by the appearance of the Biwa-Hōshi. Meanwhile, it appears that the Sakai Clan betrayed an ally and are preparing for war with them. The next morning Hyakkimaru encounters Mio, a young woman singing a beautiful song, but he collapses from his wounds. The travelers stay with Mio and a group of orphaned children at an abandoned temple, while Mio works at night serving the Sakai troops as a prostitute. Meanwhile, the Biwa-Hōshi finds a better place to camp, but it is inhabited by a demon. Nevertheless, Hyakkimaru goes off to fight it even though he has not yet recovered. They encounter the antlion lavae-like demon Arijigoku (蟻地獄), which bites off the lower half of Hyakkimaru's real leg, leaving him in extreme pain. That night, Dororo follows Mio and discovers the type of work she does. (Source: Wikipedia)
