While Dororo converses with Osushi, Hyakkimaru senses a cursed blade and engages its user. He defeats the man by trapping the weapon in his prosthetic leg. Dororo retrieves the leg but is pulled toward the sword’s true owner, Osushi’s brother Tanosuke. Tanosuke possesses the demon sword Nihiru, which drives him to seek eternal bloodshed. Hyakkimaru disarms Dororo, but Tanosuke reclaims the blade and attacks. Hyakkimaru kills Tanosuke, resulting in the restoration of his ears.
