A few years had passed since Hyakkimaru had regained his humanity from the demons who feasted on his body parts when he was but a baby. He no longer had prosthetics, but existed with a real human body. While his body had returned, his soul remains complex due to his hardships. He went separate ways from Dororo to process his humanity. He felt as if he had just been reborn in this world. With his newfound humanity, he wishes to learn about it—find peace from it.
