Ep. 13: Hyakkimaru und Dororo konfrontieren einen gesichtslosen Buddha-Dämon, der auf der Suche nach menschlichen Gesichtern in Hakumenfudo ist.

13

Hyakkimaru continues his search for demons while Dororo tries to convince him to visit an onsen. Later, Dororo encounters a woman called Okaka who looks like her mother, near Hakumenfudo (白面不動 Hakumen Fudō), a faceless Buddha statue at a waterfall. He introduces Hyakkimaru and Okaka, who tells the story of a sculptor who carved the Buddha statue but died before completing the face. As Dororo falls into a drugged sleep, Okaka finishes the story of how a demon inhabited the statue, but wanted a face. It revived the sculptor as Okaka, with the ability to change her appearance and voice, to bring human offerings so it could take their faces. Okaka drags Hyakkimaru to the waterfall, but he revives and starts to fight Hakumenfudo. Okaka uses the demon's power to immobilize Hyakkimaru, but Dororo implores her to spare him. Okaka's heart is softened by Dororo's pleas, and she allows herself to be wounded by Hakumenfudo's sword, giving Hyakkimaru the opportunity to attack and destroy the demon statue and Okaka disintegrates. Later, Hyakkimaru and Dororo visit an onsen where they encounter the Biwa-Hōshi and other children who see a map which appears on Dororo's back. Nuinokata is shown to have survived her suicide attempt, but Tahōmaru has been blinded in his right eye. (Source: Wikipedia)
