3

Hyakkimaru tells Dororo that after the death of Mio and the children in the orphanage, wherever he travelled, he has been stalked by demons and suddenly kills one who had been watching them. Dororo could not be dissuaded though, and persists in following Hyakkimaru. That night, a monstrous character Kanekozo (金小僧) carrying a bell approaches their camp, looks at Hyakkimaru and leaves. They enter a village looking for the monster and are captured and brought before Lady Bandai (万代). She denies the existence of any monsters and locks them in a basement room. They are confronted by a watery monster, but Hyakkimaru drives it back into the well. Dororo follows the monster's trail to Lady Bandai's mansion and Dororo is caught by villages and beaten up, but Hyakkimaru comes to the rescue. The villages highly respect Lady Bandai, but say the village is cursed. Hyakkimaru leads them to a bamboo grove where they see Kanekozo. (Source: Wikipedia)
