Hyakkimaru

Hyakkimaru is a thin teenager of average height. She has long, warm-hued black hair gathered in a high ponytail. The young man's skin is quite pale, with a bloodless, pale color. The teenager's eyes, which have a clear color close to a bright chestnut shade, have been replaced for a long time with eye prostheses with a brown iris.
Hyakkimaru, in many ways very similar to his mother, Nui No Katu, has almost identical facial features with her: the teenager has the same straight thin eyebrows, oval face, nose and lips; his upper eyelid forms an eye section similar to his mother's. The only different elements that bear some resemblance to the father's appearance are the slanted eyes of the young man and his ascending eyebrows. Before the events of the sixth episode, Hyakkimaru wore a dull brown scarf and a ragged, gray raincoat. Beneath it is a black, knee—length, worn kimono with white patterns resembling anchors or peaks in its shape. A sword with a blue (on some concept art - red) sageo cord is in use. Bandages made of light gray fabric are located on the forearms and shins.
A characteristic feature of Hyakkimaru's appearance are prostheses that replace many missing body parts. However, due to the fact that in the course of events the young man constantly regains something, some prostheses subsequently disappear. However, he had both arms, his left leg and his eyes the longest prosthetics. height 176 cm, age 16

Being deprived of almost all sense organs, Hyakkimaru has been somewhat isolated from the outside world since birth. Able to form only a scant idea of the environment in which he lives, as a result, the teenager acquired quite specific, unusual character traits and a manner of 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 to lie. Often his gestures and actions are incomprehensible to others and cause them perplexity. And due to the deaf-mute, with whom the young man had to live for sixteen years, he is characterized by 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 is interested in this and has a pronounced tendency to copy the gestures and actions of others done initially on him. Due to his inability to properly understand other people's feelings and emotions, sometimes Hyakkimaru does not intentionally offend those around him, for example, by ignoring the conversation. For a similar reason, sometimes he cannot understand why a particular action is considered inappropriate in society, and needs an explanation from the outside. In this regard, Dororo acts as a kind of teacher and key to socialization for him.
Hyakkimaru has no moral principles at all. Distinguishing between the concept of what is bad and what is good, all his life he could rely only on the color of the flame of living beings. To some extent, this, as well as the demonic flame inside his soul, formed the basis for the cruelty and coldness of the teenager. When he kills, he does not hesitate or doubt, because he cannot see anything wrong or wrong in killing. Sometimes, being influenced by circumstances, the young man becomes too obsessed with his desire to achieve his goal, and then this cruelty can cross the border. However, at the same t

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 humanity. Initially, Hyakkimaru seems to be a completely non-expressive, emotionally limited character. But in fact, a teenager is not at all alien to feelings and emotions. Often, the emotional background of a young man remains even, but sometimes, especially in tense moments, it can be very easy to unbalance him. So, because of the death of Mio, the young man, losing his temper, killed almost all the warriors who were involved in the death of the girl, and after that he closed himself in, 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 regain his hands on his way to Daigo, he was very annoyed and annoyed at the slightest provocation. To some extent, such emotional outbursts are related to the influence that the demonic flame has on Hyakkimaru. At the same time, many feelings are not associated with this, and are the usual reaction of an emotionally immature teenager to any events and stimuli.

Hyakkimaru is distinguished by his determination and determination. In most cases, these qualities help him not to give up on the way to his goal and overcome incredible difficulties. But these qualities are also manifested in terrible stubbornness, uncompromising and impatience. It is often 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 may be associated with a natural lag in the adolescent's psychological development due to deafness. A notable trait of Hyakkimaru's character is his ingenuity and resourcefulness. Despite his limited access to the outside world, a teenager is almost always able to deftly find a way out of a difficult situation. Also, quite often he comes up with various devices for fighting monsters, thanks to which he greatly facilitates his fight. So, in the episode "The Story of Daigo", the young man defeated the demon Deiki, damaging the structure of the bridge on which he was; in the fifteenth episode, he was able to kill the demon almost seamlessly by setting it on fire.The environment makes a teenager curious. Despite his inability to see, Hyakkimaru, especially as a child, followed the souls of living beings with interest, picking plants or watching animals. With curiosity and some naivety, he also reacts to the abilities acquired with the new senses. For example, the returned feeling of pain prompted him to step into the fire with his foot.
Due to deafness, Hyakkimaru's self-service skills are poorly developed. To some extent, the teenager is very independent and does not know how to take proper care of himself, therefore, without any outside help, his household side of life is rapidly acquiring ascetic features.
