In a flashback, Dororo's father, the bandit Hibukuro, drew a part of a map of the location to his hidden money onto the back of his wife, Ojiya, and the rest on Dororo's back, so they could retrieve it together later.

Hyakkimaru continues his search for demons, unconcerned even when a huge baby-like monster grabs Dororo...
