Hyakkimaru struggles with his new hearing and is rescued from a bird-like monster by the Biwa-Hōshi. The Sakai Clan prepares for war after betraying an ally. The next morning, Hyakkimaru meets Mio, who sings beautifully, but he collapses from his injuries. The group stays at an abandoned temple with orphaned children while Mio works at night as a prostitute for the Sakai troops. The Biwa-Hōshi finds a new campsite inhabited by a demon. Despite not having fully recovered, Hyakkimaru fights the antlion lavae-like demon Arijigoku, which bites off the lower half of his real leg, causing extreme pain. That night, Dororo follows Mio and discovers the nature of her work.
