قسط 5: Hyakkimaru اور Dororo گرمی برداشت کرتے ہیں جبکہ Dororo Onin War کے دوران اپنے صدمہ انگیز بچپن کی یادیں تازہ کرتا ہے

5

Hyakkimaru and Dororo walk for days in punishing heat until Dororo collapses from heatstroke. Delirious, Dororo starts talking about his childhood. The bloody Onin War saw the country split in two with many casualties on both sides and villages and fields burned which created food shortages. Some died of starvation while others took up weapons and became bandits. A group of bandits led by Hibukuro rob a village, and kill all of the villagers who support the samurai. Some of his men want to join the samurai to increase their power and wealth but Hibukuro and his wife Ojiya oppose the idea. That night some of his men led by Itachi kidnap Dororo, the child of Hibukuro and Ojiya, and demand that he go to the magistrate's office to get Dororo back. Hibukuro and Ojiya go, but are arrested and Hibukuro is beaten mercilessly. Fortunately young Dororo stole the key to the cell and they managed to escape, with Ojiya taking Dororo as a windstorm approached. Hibukuro stayed and cut the foundations of the magistrate's house which then collapsed during the windstorm and he set it on fire, killing everyone inside. Ojiya runs into Hibukuro's bandits, now led by the traitorous Itachi. (Source: Wikipedia)
