Furthermore, numerous fights had inconsequential dialogue or cut away scenes that dragged out the proceedings unnecessarily — making the pacing quite unbearable.
Hyakkimaru, the focal point of the series, was primarily used to fight demons to reclaim his stolen body parts. Because of his unfortunate disposition, his development as a character was restricted. As a consequence, Dororo was intended to bridge the gap by showing compassion to the various villagers the two came into contact with, and provide comedic relief from the grim adventures they engaged in. That being said, Dororo’s childish antics
were far from hilarious, and more often than not, were quite irksome. He also served as a male, ‘damsel in distress’ for Hyakkimaru to save/protect on several occasions; except when Dororo got his arm stuck under some rocks in episode 20, and Hyakkimaru — unable to dislodge Dororo’s arm — proceeded to bash his head against said rocks in rage. Perhaps Hyakkimaru thought the magical force of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (permanent brain damage) would propel the rocks somewhere else. But despite his best efforts, telekinesis (and common sense) were not on his side. And if it weren’t for Biwamaru conveniently saving the day, that would have been the end of Hyakkimaru and Dororo’s adventures.
Similar to MAPPA’s previous production, Banana Fish, Dororo displays egregious actions — like rape and
murder — to allow the viewer to sympathize with the characters and better understand their emotional suffering. A wise decision, only if the mistreated characters were fleshed out enough to permit the viewer to actually care about their suffering.
