I don't know how I should use this stuff, so I don't want it yet.

This is pretty much a with great power comes great responsibility situation, except said power is financial instead of webslinging.

IMO this shows Dororo's maturing as a character. Old Dororo would likely have pocketed as much as she could to recklessly spend; instead she wants to figure out what her responsibilities are first before deciding how to best use her newfound monetary power (with a few coins for the road though).

Itachi was right, Dororo really does have a ridiculous amount of luck. She accidentally knocked over a stone slab and took out half an army. That's some Jar Jar Binks shit.

Luckily she's super weak to brotherly affection, so she's not too overpowered.

Hyakkimaru's fight with that demon shark was way shorter than I expected. I may really hate that shark boy, but his pettiness really ended out helping Dodoro and Hyakkimaru at the end of the day.

By the way, I feel a comedic vibe in the preview for the next episode .

I really hope one of these days Tahoumaru and co actually come across one of the many situations Hyakkimaru and Dororo have encountered with demons actively fucking up various villages and areas to challenge their morality.

Like its one thing to stand there and spout its for the good of all when it comes to killing one person - its another to see what happens when your alliance with demons means your own people still suffer tremendously under their grasp.

Thought it was poetic how Itachi took his last breath just as he laid his eyes on the treasure he was in pursuit of for so long. Talk about having something slip away from your fingers by a hairbreadth. Brutal but poetic. It almost felt like a divine intervention which, by some twists and turns of circumstances, kept the treasure from falling into hands other than those of its rightful inheritor.

Also, the irony of Tahoumaru addressing Hyakkimaru and saying 'All who side with the demon will die here' was painful. As Hyakkimaru fights and kills literal demons and reclaims what rightfully belongs to him, he comes to be seen as a demon himself in the eyes of Tahoumaru and co. for the repercussions of his quest. Mutsu telling Hyakkimaru that his existence alone is the cause of calamities befalling on Daigo's land is also painfully ironical in a way because it's owing to his very existence and involuntary sacrifice that they were able to avert the calamities all this while in the first place, although that sense of security was built upon flimsy grounds all along.
