Dororo, a young orphan thief, meets Hyakkimaru, a powerful ronin. Hyakkimaru's father, a greedy feudal lord, had made a pact with 12 demons, offering his yet-unborn son's body parts in exchange for great power. Thus, Hyakkimaru - who was born without arms, legs, eyes, ears, a nose or a mouth - was abandoned in a river as a baby. Rescued and raised by Dr. Honma, who equips him with artificial limbs and teaches him sword-fighting techniques, Hyakkimaru discovers that each time he slays a demon, a piece of his body is restored. Now, he roams the war-torn countryside in search of demons.

Where it came from
Dororo is a 2019 television anime adaptation based on the 1967 manga series by Osamu Tezuka, often referred to as the father of manga. The project was conceived as a modern reimagining of the dark fantasy tale, which follows a young ronin named Hyakkimaru who travels across the Sengoku period landscape to reclaim his stolen body parts from demons. The series was produced by MAPPA and Tezuka Productions, aiming to elevate the original source material's philosophical and somber themes with contemporary animation standards.
The production sought to emphasize the grim atmospheric tension of the original work while refining character designs to better suit a modern audience. Led by director Kazuhiro Furuhashi, the team focused on exploring the moral ambiguity of Hyakkimaru’s quest, often highlighting the psychological toll of his journey. Upon its release, the series was well-received for its balanced approach to action and emotional storytelling, praised for successfully modernizing a classic piece of Japanese cultural heritage.
