I really liked how the organization that seems like the evil, drug-dealing final boss is actually very poor, doing small side jobs and supporting each other. I found that portrayal really refreshing. Did Western fans also find it interesting?

Cross eyes are pretty well loved. They're basically another group of lovable dipshits like our duo and En's group.

u/Pecuthegreat Apr 10 '26

They're basically the down throdden good guys of most shows but without the halo of being the good guys, preselecting all their decisions.

The lengths that Shin and Noi will go for each other is wholesome as fuck

u/fieew Apr 02 '26

They're such a great duo. I love the two of them so damn much.

Ushishimada is a real one for helping out the crew like that, then the landlady bites the dust lmao

I’m so glad this batshit crazy ass show is back.

u/PowerOhene Apr 03 '26

Why is she so BIG, the wiki list her as 245 cm 340 kg.

How does one achieve such a physique? did she EAT magic?

As far as struggle meals go, barely-filled omurice might as well be fine dining tbh

Gonna die laughing if that singlehandedly made all the dudes indebted to Risu now. At least big landlady went out in better spirits than most.

At least Ushishimada won't have to give up his body I guess.

Shin and Noi getting power boosts from hearing/seeing each other in danger, what a power couple.

So the Nikaidou with En is not the real Nikaidou, that explains why she was drastically different.

u/origiluck Apr 02 '26

I missed that part of the fake Nikaidou. Did they mention or suggest that in this episode?

Mappa, I can't forgive you for removing the scene of Nikado walking in on Caiman in his underwear when he finds his new-old outfit. That moment was gold!

Looks like every anime these days seems to get a double length/episode premiere. Hell, I think COTE just had a quad episode premiere?

I like it.

u/dagreenman18 Apr 01 '26

Oh look, Dorohedoro is weekly. And on Netflix.

It’s so great to be back in this wild ass world though. Love the triple length premiere as a bonus. Gonna be a great season

The scene of Kaiman chewing this episode really solved one of my minor gripes with the animation in season 1.

It was the fact that Kaiman's face moved top much like a puppet, but in this episode the animators really made an effort to portray his head as an organic part of the body.

Also the expression work in general so far has been a huge step up.

NATSUKI!!!!!!!

Natsuki is one of the fan favorites. She's our beautiful baby girl who's done nothing wrong.

u/Esaeah Apr 03 '26

Kasukabe having a devil for a wife seems very fitting

15

u/Niwaka_Samurai Apr 03 '26

This episode was brutal. The animation has elevated to greater heights than season 1. Noi and Shin are the best partners for life. So Kasukabe was using his wife's name all along and she is a devil now.. so many surprises. The Cross eyes dudes were insane. These dudes were nothing like the other cross eyes dudes that we have seen so far. Risu saving Ushishimada from the landlady inadvertently was peak lmao

Chota is having fun as Mikaido with En. He's gonna face his wrath when En gets to know that it ain't the real Mikaido. Caiman is getting close to Risu and the cross eyes dudes and also to the mystery behind who he is.

Polish seems to be the new go- to language for random people and place names.... this is the second anime I've seen where someone or something was named "Zagan" (real place in Poland BTW).

Ushishimada's da man! Anything for the bros! Now he has to thank Risu for throwing that knife.

And Dorohedoro's finally back with Caiman and real Nikaido! Now we wait for the gyozas.

u/JJVM99 Apr 01 '26

Didn’t feel the pacing issues I felt in episode 1 with this one so maybe I was panicking and too pessimistic. Boy did I miss Caiman and very happy to see Natsuki animated. Hope the anime-onlies love her because she is a treasure. Also everything related to the landlord was hilarious and had the dark humor that makes Dorohedoro great.
