And we're back! Spoilers for Dororo this week, previously discussed in this post. The baby should never have lived. Hyakkimaru, the rightful heir to the Daigo name, was meant to die.

I've got some pretty varied content lined up over the next few weeks and I feel a lot more inspired to be doing this again. A break was what the doctor ordered. See you Friday!
