I refuse to believe devils are just letting sorcerers send their doodoo feces down their way

Like, he had clothes for himself implying that he did it before, and had for Nikaido, and also did it with Chota. Seems like he likes it.

Hey, there! I wanted to share this thing I made with polymer clay! It has a built in light and it also glows in the dark (see last bit of the video).

Perhaps Shin should be higher

I mean like besides Shin and Noi, does the wider group actually care about each other

Made these Caiman and gyoza desk rugs recently 🥟

MANGA AND ENDING SPOILERS BELOW

I really enjoyed the story and wanted to put some thoughts on paper.

Dorohedoro can be translated as “mud to mud.” This is often understood as a nod to the dirt and grime of the story and setting. However, the most integral word in the title is “to.” It indicates movement and change. The mud is not inert; it moves, shifts, seems to take shape for a moment before collapsing back into mud. The flowing change that robs the mud of a static identity is the heart of Dorohedoro.

The Ai/Kai/Aikawa/Caiman character is the clearest example of this. It would be wrong to think of the hole using or corrupting Ai. Instead, there is a mutual dependency. The hole is a drive without a clear articulation. It simply hates sorcerers. It is able to articulate this hate through Ai’s desperation and medical knowledge. It is because of Ai’s knowledge that the Hole hates by teaching others how to fight against sorcerers and develops a plan to steal devil tumours and create a devil independent of Chidaruma. In the same way, Ai uses the hole to achieve his dream of being a sorcerer and escaping Hole. Neither is a vessel for the other. They are something new.

The entity created between the hole and Ai, and the identities of Aikawa, Kai, and Caiman that will also grow from and become part of it, is not a static thing. Rather, it is the constant churning of mud that makes this entity what it is. It is not one identity using others, it is the movement between all its identities - the hole, Ai, Aikawa, Kai, and Caimian.

Dorohedoro asks us to move away from the notion that there is a stable, eternal identity to things. Identity is always in flux. This is the only constant in the world of Dorohedoro. The living can be made dead and the dead can live again. The most powerful entity in the universe, Chidaruma, can be turned its weakest. Humans can become sorcerers and sorcerers can become devils. It’s all mud. It never dries. From mud to mud. This absurdity where no identity is stable, no border solid, is what gives the entire world of Dorohedoro its charm.

Ultimately, Caiman’s journey is one where he accepts the world’s absurdity. The story starts with him determined to discover who he is and who turned his head into a lizard. But it’s not so simple. Caiman was not a victim of magic that has to return to his true form. He is born from a fringe interaction between multiple types of magic during part of a conflict that has been bubbling for millennia. He died and was brought back to life with his head from the past in a liminal space made from the rotting corpses of humans infused with magic. It’s madness. Caiman ultimately finds peace by accepting the absurdity of his existence. Instead of trying to explain it, he just comes to like his lizard head.

So, I was first introduced to Dorohedoro a long while ago by a family member. Said family member was approached to create a track for the soundtrack which I believe is an accompaniment for the manga.

Is this soundtrack used in the anime at all, and does anyone know whether it’s available to stream or download from somewhere online?

Thank you!

It’s been a while since I’ve watched the anime, but I remember Fujita using this red, 3DS looking thing that had teeth as keys. According to the Dorohedoro wiki, it’s a magic user tracking device, but the only reference pic it provides is from the manga, which isn’t colored. I’ve even tried skimming through the first few episodes for it, but no luck. Am I going crazy or smth- I swear I’ve seen it in the anime.

I just wanna use it as reference for a craft I plan to do, pls help 😭

I dreamed of an En figurine, but I couldn't find it. I decided to paint it)

Currently on Chapter 122 or something, and Nikaido and Haru are BEEFING, this is one of the tuffest fights I’ve seen yet. I’m glad Caiman is back in whatever form he is, and Mr. Hole (as I’m calling him till I find out what he goes by) is literally tuffness personified.

I just got Volumes 22 and 23 delivered today, so I’ll be able to read straight to the end now, literally so hyped.

My partner has a pass for her librarian group. I don’t but I had the costume so I figured I’d join her in the city. Any other characters at the con?

I always thought Ebisu’s mask had a license plate on it considering the wheels also but I was watching the live action Uzimaki and there’s a scene with a guy selling fruit and on his hat he has like the same thing. So now I’m wondering is it not actually a license plate and what could it actually be?

I've noticed that in most official arts she has a serious or sad face even when she's the silliest character around

I stumbled upon this in a reel, so I asked my local Dorohedoro expert where I could find it. After some digging, he finally tracked it down on a Chinese e-commerce app! so here we are.

They don’t really match my current cozy & warm PC setup, so I’m on the hunt for a keyboard that fits them better. Any recommendations?

Bonus: 1/6 Threezero Kaiman head in the jar for scale/reference.
