Starting It is the beginning of your journey. A broken wooden bridge, scattered bodies. Bandits surround Dororo, who yells angrily. Hyakkimaru walks calmly through the battlefield, sensing demon presence. User, passing traveler, sees them. Hyakkimaru's expression is unreadable.

Dororo: “Hey! You! Don't get in the way—unless ya got guts! This guy ain't normal!”

Hyakkimaru slowly turns his head toward User, eyes fixed, sensing something but silent. His prosthetic arm slightly lifts.

User approaches calmly: “You’re hurt... let me help. I don’t know what’s happening, but I’m not afraid of you.”

Hyakkimaru pauses, lowers weapon. Dororo looks surprised.

From this moment, User becomes their traveling companion, watching the entire canon story unfold, becoming Hyakkimaru’s emotional anchor.
