Hyakkimaru

Despite his limited access to the outside world, the teenager is almost always able to cleverly find a way out of a difficult situation. Also, quite often he comes up with various devices for fighting monsters, thanks to which he makes the fight much easier for himself. Thus, in the episode "The Story of Daigo", the young man defeated the demon Deika by damaging the structure of the bridge on which he was located; in the fifteenth episode, he was able to kill the demon almost without problems by setting it on fire. The environment arouses curiosity in the teenager. Despite his inability to see, Hyakkimaru, especially as a child, was interested in observing the souls of living beings by picking plants or observing animals. He also reacts with curiosity and some naivety to the abilities he has acquired with his new senses. For example, the returned sense of pain prompted him to step into a fire with his foot. Due to his deaf-blindness, Hyakkimaru's self-care skills are poorly developed. To some extent, the teenager is very dependent and does not know how to properly take care of himself, so without any outside help, his everyday life quickly takes on ascetic features. So, being completely unpretentious about food, in the second episode he tried to eat raw fish, and, most likely, before meeting Dororo, he repeatedly did this behind the scenes. The young man also often closes his eyes to his health, sometimes exhausting himself in his desire to return body parts.

However, at the same time, through the return of the senses, the teenager gets more and more opportunities to explore the world from other sides. In the end, this, coupled with the support of loved ones, makes him think about the concepts of humanity and humaneness. Initially, Hyakkimaru seems to be a completely non-expressive, emotionally limited character. But in fact, the teenager is not at all alien to feelings and emotions. Often, the emotional background of the young man remains even, but sometimes, especially in tense moments, he can be very easily thrown off balance. So, because of the death of Mio, the young man, losing his temper, killed almost all the warriors who were involved in the girl's death, and after that he withdrew into himself, ignoring Dororo's attempts to cheer him up. In the episode "The Story of Breaking the Cycle of Suffering", after the teenager was unable to get his hands back, heading to Daigo, he was very annoyed and irritated at the slightest provocation. To some extent, such emotional outbursts are associated with the influence that the demonic flame has on Hyakkimaru. At the same time, many feelings are not associated with this, and are a normal reaction of an emotionally immature teenager to any events and irritants. Hyakkimaru is distinguished by his determination and purposefulness. Mostly, these are the qualities that help him not to give up on his goal and overcome incredible difficulties. But these qualities also manifest themselves in terrible stubbornness, uncompromisingness and impatience. Often, it is almost impossible to convince or dissuade a young man if he has finally made a decision, and sometimes this leads to negative, sometimes irreversible, consequences. Such egocentrism and inability to compromise can be associated with the natural lag in the teenager's psychological development due to deaf-blindness. A notable character trait of Hyakkimaru is his ingenuity and resourcefulness.

Being deprived of almost all sensory organs, Hyakkimaru was somewhat isolated from the outside world from birth. Capable of forming only a meager idea of the environment in which he lives, the teenager eventually acquired rather specific, unusual character traits and behavior. First of all, deprived of socialization, Hyakkimaru is very superficially familiar with the peculiarities of communication with other people. The young man is very naive and easily led by lies. Often his gestures and actions are incomprehensible to others and cause them bewilderment. And due to the deaf-muteness with which the young man had to live for sixteen years, he is distinguished by his silence and for a long time preferred non-verbal communication to conversations. At the same time, despite his inexperience in interacting with people, the teenager treats this with interest and has a clearly visible tendency to copy the gestures and actions of others, which were initially done to him. Due to the inability to properly understand other people's feelings and emotions, sometimes Hyakkimaru unintentionally offends those around him with his actions, for example, by ignoring a conversation. For a similar reason, sometimes he cannot understand why this or that action in society is considered inappropriate, and needs an explanation from the outside. In this regard, Dororo acts as a kind of teacher for him and the key to socialization. Hyakkimaru has no moral principles at all. In distinguishing between what is good and what is bad, all his life he could only rely on the color of the flames of living beings. To some extent, this, like the demonic flame inside his soul, formed the basis of the cruelty and coldness of the teenager. When he kills, he does not hesitate or doubt, because he cannot see anything bad or wrong in killing. Sometimes, under the influence of circumstances, the young man becomes too obsessed with his desire to achieve his goal, and then this cruelty can cross the line.

Hyakkimaru is a thin teenager of average height. He has long, warm-colored black hair, pulled back into a high ponytail. The boy has rather pale, bloodless, dull-colored skin. The teenager's eyes, which are clear, close to a bright chestnut shade, have long been replaced by ocular prostheses with brown irises. Hyakkimaru, in many ways, is very similar to his mother, Nui No Katou, possessing almost identical facial features: the teenager has the same straight thin eyebrows, oval face, nose and lips; his upper eyelid forms a similar cut to his mother's eyes. The only different elements that have some resemblance to his father's appearance are the youth's slanted eyes and his ascending eyebrows. Before the events of Episode 6, Hyakkimaru wore a dull brown scarf and a torn, gray cloak. Underneath, he wore a black, worn kimono that reached his knees, with white patterns that resemble anchors or lances. His obi holds a sword with a blue (in some concept art, red) sageo cord. His forearms and shins are bandaged with light gray fabric. A characteristic feature of Hyakkimaru's appearance is the prosthetics that replace many of his missing body parts. However, due to the fact that the young man constantly returns something to himself during the course of events, some of the prosthetics subsequently disappear. However, the ones that have had prosthetics for the longest time were both arms, his left leg, and his eyes.

Hyakkimaru - He is 16 years old and 176 cm tall. "Why should I change? I will touch with my hands, see with my eyes. I want to feel! Just like you." Hyakkimaru is one of the main characters of the franchise. A couple of days before the character was born, his father, Daigo Kagemitsu, made a deal with demons, exchanging the embodiment of his ambitions for parts of his son's body. As a result, the young man lost many organs, losing his sight, hearing, sense of smell, ability to speak, and move normally. Growing up, the teenager learns that it is possible to return body parts, but to do this he needs to kill all the demons to whom he was sacrificed.
