During Japan’s tumultuous Sengoku period, one man sells his son to a pack of devils in exchange for the power to rule.
This classic story from Osamu Tezuka - the father of modern manga - is now reimagined in this gorgeous new adaptation by Satoshi Shiki, the artist of the manga Attack on Titan: Before the Fall..
Together with the young thief Dororo, the now-grown Hyakkimaru embarks upon a quest to slay all the demons and retrieve the stolen pieces of his body.
But through the assistance of a sage and a series of inventive prosthetics, Hyakkimaru survives.
Forty-eight devils take forty-eight pieces of young Hyakkimaru, and the boy is left for dead.
