Dororo (2019) The Tale of the Nue- Conflict of the Want and Need
The Tale of Nue is actually a great episode to watch for an example of character writing and the conflict of want and need they go through in an arc. This is a great example of a setback in a character’s arc. They do this by making it seem like the need necessitates the want. We see Hyakkimaru start to get and realize what he needs, connection and an understanding of others through his interaction with Dororo at the beginning of the episode. The lack that he has seems to have eased because of Dororo. The conflict of the episode creates a clash between the want and the need by having Dororo be in trouble and Hyakkimaru be unable to save her because of the limits of his prosthetics. If he had his real arms he would have been able to save Dororo. This makes him lean even more into his lie that to fill the lack he needs his real body. This pushes him even further into his descent than before despite being so close to discovering what he really needs.
Hyakkimaru from Dororo
Watching the current anime adaptation I keep remembering the good times I had playing him in the PS2 game.
My first time on Tumblr and my first post, it’s my first digital drawing that is about the anime Dororo, so here my first drawing about Tahomaru!
