Haha, gently caress yes. Let's cut everything and get our lymph nodes back from demons! This cannot possibly go wrong!

Hyakkimaru is some kind of freaky meat miracle and the Doctor's some kind of miracle worker, because apparently the Doctor was able to fit him with a prosthetic digestive system, but Hyakki was able to make do without one for three years. That's how great his will to live was.

The masks you're mentioning are Hannya masks.

Flaming wheels are a surprisingly common theme in mythology. The Greeks have Ixion, the first kinslayer who abused Zeus's hospitality and hit on Hera, and was then bound to an eternally-spinning flaming wheel in Hades. In the broader Judeo-Christian canon, there are the Ophanim or 'Thrones', an order of angels who take the form of flaming many-eyed wheels. But this is probably a reference to Wanyuudo, given that they look almost exactly like the picture on Wikipedia.

Danger-Pumpkin posted:I am really curious what Hyakkimaru actually had at the start of this, as far as a body, and how it was all scraped together. I mean, he didn't have a spine. How did he function at all? He's missing major muscle groups, and portions of his brain. How do you even start to replace that with prosthetics? Hyakki's ridiculous will to live combined with Dr. Honma's impossibly great skill at medicine. Dude made a prosthetic cerebellum.

MadDogMike posted:Also, does Dororo EVER get genre aware enough to work out things like "the parents are possessed too!" before having it smashed in his face in this game? That isn't genre awareness. That's plain old normal kind of awareness, which Dororo lacks completely. Remember the time Hyakki warned him not to steal the cursed sword because it'll make you go on a killing spree, then he stole the sword and was completely surprised that he then was forced to go on a killing spree? Simple cause-and-effect relationships constantly evade Dororo. He's just lucky he's the second most badass living being alive who's capable of keeping up with a psychic cyborg samurai using such high-tech weaponry as his bare fists and rocks.

Misaki, you idiot. You're someone who's met Hyakkimaru whose name isn't on the cover, and you survived. With all your limbs and major organs and everything! So what if you lost your heroin-addict brother, you've got your life and your youth and a cool sword. Maybe you can go to China or Korea or anywhere that doesn't have fiends all over the place.

SSNeoman posted:So the whole "having a prosthetic cranium" isn't that out there. Blackjack, another Tezuka protagonist, created his sidekick using a parasite he extracted from a woman. He gave the parasite organs and a prosthetic body. He also did all this while drunk . Why isn't there a Black Jack video game?
