10

The nine-tailed fox attacks Hyakkimaru, but he is unable to kill it and it escapes. Daigo and his son Tahomaru question Hyakkimaru, who tells the story of his life. Daigo offers Hyakkimaru a position in under his master Lord Togashi and to help secure the border against the Asakura, but he declines. Restless during the night Hyakkimaru explores the mansion, but he is seen and chased as an Asakura spy and sheltered by Daigo's wife Nuinokata (縫の方), his mother. They share a silent moment of recognition and Hyakkimaru flees the mansion, denying the emotions which he felt. Meanwhile, Dororo is pulled from the river by Sukeroku, a local boy. Sukeroku explains how he was separated from his parents by the war and they now live on the other side of the Banmon. He also explains how the nine-tailed fox keeps the war going because it eats the bodies of the dead soldiers. That night, Hyakkimaru is attacked by the nine-tailed fox. He fights it off, but sees Daigo preparing his forces to attack the Asakura at dawn. (Source: Wikipedia)
