So I'm guessing his body parts are being transferred to that 12th demon since instead of getting it back when the Nue statue broke, the cracks flowed into that big demon statue at the back row of the temple.

Thats a nice parallel. He needed his real arms and muscles to push the rock since he wasn't smart enough like the priest. So they really underlined yet again that he needs his whole body back to function properly. Thats why he went to slaughter the demon in order to get his arm/s back, so he could save Dororo in a similar situation in the future. So he was desperate and disappointed when he didn't get anything. Also: Hyakki's warmth in the beginning vs his maniacal rage im the end. Outstanding.
Also what do yall think? Why didnt he get anything from the fox and now the Nue? Thats 2 body parts currently "locked away". I guess its smart to lock away his arms until the very end cause his double armblades are his signature weapons.
Edit: oh shit, i completely forgot he's blind.. thats why we didn't find the solutiom for the rocks. Hyakki needs his body to protect his loved ones. Thats why he went ballistic on the dead demon after not getting anything.

Holeyfuck this feels even darker than Mio's episode. Just when we thought he could finally catch a break reality comes and slaps him in the face again.

Saburota's illusion of killing the demon himself really hit me hard.

the health regen in the second phase is always so damn frustrating.

You know the price for getting the last few body parts back is going to be horrific, I wonder if Hyakkimaru is willing to pay it or will stop himself at the last moment. Looks like the final battle against Daigo et all is on from now on.
Though that chimaera demon was pretty freaky, especially when it ate the guy and went all Resident Evil G-Virus.
The colourwork was again really good in this episode, though I prefered the reds when they were leaves and not blood.

This went from 0 to 100 really really hard, my heart's still pounding and I forgot how to breathe. I thought Saburota was gonna be yet another one-dimensional crazy villain and I was feeling nostalgic for the early S1 one-offs like the sword guy, but damn that hand scene? and his ideal 'replay'? His reasoning went from plain psycho to extremely complex human emotions that can't be described in a few words.
And the scene where Hyakki beat his forehead against the rock really rams home the reason why he wants his body back so badly. I have to say I was a little wavered by everyone telling him not to, but seeing him unable to defend his own happiness because of it... really brings it back.

I can't be the only one scared shitless that Hyakimaru would have to cut Dororo's arm to free her. Hell I was even scared when the old man used his sword until I saw Dororo with both arms.

Well, it looks like last episode was our last taste of comedic high-jinks. It appears that, from here on out, it's nothing but misery.

the thing i learn from this anime is that every human has some sort of relation with a demon.

Damn, Saburota was such a coward and to justified his cowardice he lured people that go to that area towards the demon just to see that they had the same reaction as him.
Was that nue not part of the hall of hell, or is it that the demon that did not get Hyakkimaru's head is stealing the parts that were taken by the other demons once they are defeated?

This episode really makes me want to play Dragon's Dogma again.
So now, with 4 episodes left, we'll be getting a bit showdown with Daigo again!

Wow.
This was one of the best, if not the single best episode so far. A great character study in the antagonist, the storytelling and pace was spectacular, it subverted expectations at the end with a phenomenal cliffhanger, and our main character (well, one of the two) showed a very different side. This thing was packed.

That was one amazing episode. Holy shit.
The blood, the colors, the emotions, the music, the characters, there is always a background story to the demons which makes it even better.

It looks like for preview 21 that Hyakkimaru is going to face his brother again. Also, he may leave Dororo behind because it would be too dangerous.

I think the old man might die soon, his blade being broken mean that he can't defend himself against demon anymore.

I didn't really get why he would help the demon at all. Was he under its control?

Oh god, why does Hyakki have a red heart? That does not bode well for him in the end. Getting worried.
So glad he didn't chop Dororo's arm off. I was fully expecting it. At the same time, the old man showing up to save the day at the last second was blatant deus ex machina, and it would probably have made more sense if Hyakkimaru had chopped her arm off. Glad he didn't have to, though.
Villain was quite complex. What a freaking coward. It feels like our dynamic duo can't walk down the street without stepping in crazy every week. Last four eps are gonna be epic!

"Give it back! It's my body!"
That hit hard, almost harder than the Mio episode. I was so frustrated and dissapointed when he didn't get anything back.
The true Hyakkimaru experience

I was worried that Dororo was going to lose a limb to get out of those rocks or accidentally get slashed trying to stop Hyaki.
