11

Daigo's forces to attack the Asakura at dawn led by Tahomaru. Sukeroku wants to see his parents, so he and Dororo run across the border but they are caught. Dororo gives Sukeroku a chance to escape, but is hit by an arrow. Meanwhile Tahomaru successfully occupies the Asakura part of the town. He burns it down and takes the townspeople captive. Dororo sees Sukeroku who says his parents have been killed. All the prisoners are placed before the Banmon pleading for their lives, but slaughtered by arrows, including Sukeroku. As the bowmen are about to kill Dororo, Hyakkimaru arrives led by Nota and he kills them. Tahomaru attacks Hyakkimaru and as they fight, the nine-tailed fox demon tells Hyakkimaru that Tahomaru is his brother and he is the son of Daigo who made the pact with the 48 demons. Hyakkimaru then realises the woman who helped him was his mother. Tahomaru makes a last attack, but Hyakkimaru fatally wounds him. Hyakkimaru attacks the war-mongering demon, beheading it. It crashes into and destroys the Banmon, however the war goes on. On news of Tahomaru's death, Daigo leads his troops past the ruined Banmon in an attack on the enemy territory. (Source: Wikipedia)
