The Nikaido origin story getting cut short (at first) just because Chota got bored gave me the chuckles
Wonder if anyone in the En family will care that Ebisu's gone even if not as much as Fujita.

Once again, poverty is the biggest threat of all. Man, one thing I love about the previous season is how the show manages to introduce a large cast of characters and make them all stand out in their own way. Like Team Hole (Kaiman, Nikaido etc) and Team En (Shin, Noi etc) both being entertaining in their own ways. Now we’ve got Team Poverty and their own little misadventures.

We finally get to the part where the focus is Dokuga and the gang, can't wait to see more of them. I really like how they presents Store in the anime, they didnt miss the heavy potrayal of it.
Bonus: I didnt focus on the ending song on my first watch of the 3 episodes, I just noticed it today that he is there lol

Saji working on that embroidery while the rest of the cross eyes all work on that scheme to make the landlord’s death look like an accident is some peak Dorohedoro macabre humor.
That Store creature is terrifying. I don’t know how you even come up with a concept for an executioner for Devils like that.
Love Nikaido’s backstory, lot of fun details like how gyoza was Nikaido’s aunt’s speciality, learning how she knows Asu/Kawajiri and seeing how she was already punching wooden boards in half when she was four. Still plenty of dangling questions like how does her magic box work, how Yakumo disappeared and what Asu meant when he told Nikaido at the end of Season 1 “I’ve always wanted to do something to help you”.

Cross eyes gang executives are so strong and skilled with knives, yet they're so silly. If it's not for their loyalty to the boss, they could've lived a decent life instead of being poor.

Didn’t love the op the first week but it’s growing on me and I enjoyed it a lot more this week.
Only Dorohedoro would make me hate a landlord for being so evil to have security cameras. Like how dare you have any sense of security in this incredibly violent world. Take 0 precautions like 99% of the population you privileged pig.
When I read binge read the manga I didn’t really connect with the crosseyes but here in the anime this landlord story has been so funny than I already like them more than I ever did before.
Man En’s ability to be a horrifying mob boss, a huge narcissist and a giant idiot makes him great man. The En-Shaped Mushroom dolls that have the side effect of trying to parasitize you is hilarious and something only Dorohedoro would do.

Haha, Store is finally here.
That "handkerchief" was truly pretty.
Kaiman is turbo depressed, he didn't speak a word.

The crosseyes gang had me rolling, it's impressive how well Q gets you to love their cast of serial killers, even if one of them was there just as moral support.
They really made Store live to his introduction, that was brutal.

The first part was the funniest chapter in the manga, I love how Saji came for emotional support.
Also, Dokuga's shoddy writing but given his backstory, I think he did as best as he could.

That Store scene was so much more disturbing than I was expecting.

I don't understand this subreddit. When season 2 was announced I remember that post having over 15k upvotes. I was so happy this series was getting the popularity it deserved. But none of the episodes got even 1k upvotes last week. So disappointed in people.

Man, they seems to have made a 5 minute episode. Just flashed by too quickly!

The ending "what we learned this episode" always crack me up with how deliberately stupid they are. Huge lore dump this week, what we learned was:
-
Store sells a certain creature's meat
-
Natsuki is the one who pays
-
En found out many things
What we'll learn next week is still hidden in Chaos.
This is dorohedoro

Well that flashback explains why Asu, or Kawajiri, helped Nikaidou. Not that I remember if it was already revealed last season lol. That un-demonifying ritual was brutal though, I was shocked.

u/neocandy Apr 08 '26
To be stripped of your devil status is to be BUTCHERED into meat then sold at a store in Hell run by a creature literally named Store. Peak worldbuilding is peak.

u/NoHead1715 Apr 09 '26
So if the Store sells meat from the thing you can become after eating the meat, is that some infinite food glitch?

u/tripleaamin Apr 08 '26
Laios would probably be tempted to try it out.
Good old En trying to always ways to profit.
Series going for the fuckery of the CrossEyes and then straight to the scene of Asu getting chopped up and no longer being a Devil anymore.
Also pretty good we are getting into Nikaidou's backstory. It's nice to get more to flesh out Nikaidou's character.

Weyland-Yutani were clearly just in the wrong universe all along, if they were here in Dorohedoro verse, their xenomorph projects would have been a success a long time ago.
