maybe because Dororo is a little kid he thought she should grow up in safety not constantly following him around. It also opens up the possibility for a sequel set a few years later where the two reunite. The ending gave me strong sequel bait vibes.

I can understand that. This is my second favorite anime and I did find the ending a little disappointing but I like your thought process on it so thank you for that!

I guess my reasoning would be is that the fighting has to end at some point. I just really wanted our main two to have a nice moment for closure but sadly we don’t get that really. ๐Ÿ˜ญ it would have been nice to see them reunited when Dororo grew older, just like a short conversation, a hug and that’s it really.

In the original manga Hiyakkimaru left to hunt remaining ghouls (there were like 50 of them total), but once his quest was done, he reunited with her.

No, i just checked the last episode.
It is as i remembered, grown up Dororo run toward Hyakkimaru at the bridge.
Its just a flash of second, i can see people might not see it or consider its just Dororo's imagination.
I take it as it is and its a good ending to me.

@Raajdeep
The manga doesn't explain anything. Tezuka lost interest in the series and ended it abruptly.

@ilusatus I took it as a transition and believed that they went on with their lives :P

It ends just like you said in the OP, with Hyakkimaru leaving Dororo to go slay demons. It's abrupt and unsatisfying.

They meet couple years later, when Dororo is a teen or young adult. That ask for a sequel or at least ova

Agreed, the history in the anime gave us a proper close than the actual manga.
A second season will show what? The peaceful life of Dororo and Hyakkimaru? That's cute but also boring.

yeah exactly, maybe an ova or something but it's quite unnecessary

All I got from the ending was that the writer really had no proper idea how to end the whole thing.

Pointlessly killing people, people randomly showing up for finale, maybe set up the sequel or not, there was way too much going on for one episode.

The only part I liked in the last episode was the Hyakkimaru's father's regret and realization at the end. In-fact, the show could've ended there and it would've been good enough.
