Ep. 2: Dororo and Hyakkimaru confront demon Bandai and uncover village conspiracies

2

Dororo travels with a mute, blind, and deaf swordsman possessing superhuman strength and soul-seeing abilities. They visit a village led by Bandai, who promises to kill a monster for payment. There, they meet the blind monk Biwa-Houshi, who shares this spiritual sight. The duo discovers Bandai is a demon consuming travelers, and the young man defeats her. A strange entity explains that villagers aided Bandai while stealing traveler funds, and they sought to eliminate the entity for its haunting bell noise. Following this, Biwa-Houshi joins the group. The young man regains his nervous system after the battle and introduces himself as Hyakkimaru. In a separate development, Daigo Kagemitsu observes that the Sakai Clan is preparing for war.
