Ep. 7: Hyakkimaru encounters the demon Jorogumo who has taken refuge with the kind Yajiro in the village.
Hyakkimaru and Dororo encounter the spider demon Jorogumo, who escapes after being wounded. They arrive in a village where men vanish at night. Yajiro finds the injured demon, who appears as a beautiful woman, and nurses her back to health, naming her Ohagi. She resists eating him due to his kindness. Yajiro reveals he helps men escape an oppressive lord, not kill them. Hyakkimaru attacks Ohagi again, forcing her to flee with Yajiro. Troops ambush them in a mountain passage, wounding Yajiro. Ohagi defeats the soldiers in rage, attracting Hyakkimaru. As they prepare to fight, Hyakkimaru sees Ohagi’s soul change color due to her concern for Yajiro. He withdraws, allowing the couple to leave safely while Hyakkimaru and Dororo continue their journey.
