A village prepares a woman as a sacrifice to appease the demon Nokosaregumo, appearing as a dark cloud. Saru, a wild boy who considers the woman his sister, attempts to stop the ritual. Hyakkimaru and Dororo agree to defeat the demon, but Hyakkimaru cannot distinguish the creature from the cloud due to visual confusion. Dororo and Saru use sulphurous gases to ignite the demon with little success. Dororo then jumps on the centipede-like demon's head, allowing Hyakkimaru to locate it by sound and destroy it. The cloud dissipates, and the group falls into a spring. The woman is rescued undigested, and Saru agrees to live in the village. Hyakkimaru regains his sense of smell and addresses Dororo by name for the first time.
