The Young Lord's Bride (Part 2)

Part 1

Tahomaru brought you, Sesshomaru, and Jaken up a small hill and across some paths running parallel to a river.

"Some people say this river is haunted, but I don't believe them," Tahomaru said.

You looked to the river. You couldn't sense any demonic presence around it, and as you glanced to your older brother, you could tell that he also sensed nothing.

"All that child does is babble, babble babble," Jaken complained as he rode attached to Sesshomaru's fluff.

"If you continue to babble yourself, I will slay you," Sesshomaru said flatly and moved in such a way to shake his fluff.

Jaken screamed. "I'm sorry, Sesshomaru-sama! Please don't throw me offf and leave me behind!"

You were glad that you were riding on the horse with Tahomaru, as it gave you some distance from the circus of your brother and Jaken that you had to put up with all the time. It made you smirk a little too how Sesshomaru's eyes constantly glared disapprovingly at you for sharing a horse ride with an unfamiliar human boy.

Tahomaru led you to the gates of a large fortress. The guards, recognising him, allowed him entry. Upon hearing that you, Sesshomaru, and Jaken were his guests, the guards did not protest for all of you to pass through the gates, though they did look at you with suspicious eyes. It was no surprise and you were not offended. It wasn't every day that the human guards would see a pair of silver haired demons dressed in elaborate armour and fur. And then there was Jaken ...

"Don't mind them," Tahomaru said as you passed by the guards. He then rode over to the stables to return the horse you two were riding. The stableman also gave an odd look to you, to which Tahomaru raised an eyebrow, as if to say that he had no right to comment on who his guests were.

As Tahomaru handed over the reigns to his horse, Sesshomaru silently came behind you and grabbed your arm.

"We are not here to have fun, y/n," he said in a low voice.

"I know, Aniue. Calm down."

Sesshomaru stared at you, about to say something more, before Tahomaru's perky voice broke the silence.

"Follow me, and we'll have ourselves something good to eat!" He smiled and proudly led you inside.

Tahomaru brought the three of you to large dining area. "Make yourselves comfortable. The staff has already told my father that we have some unexpected guests." He turned around to glance back at Jaken. Not wanting to see the unfamiliar creature in his eyesight for too long, he rose his gaze to you. "Does that little demon normally dine with you and your brother?"

"No," Sesshomaru gave his unsolicited answer on your behalf

Jaken squawked and dropped his jaw.

Tahomaru raised an eyebrow. "I was asking y/n, but thanks."

Sesshomaru glared at him.

Tahomaru turned back to you. "Well, I guess it can't be helped. We'll have to dine with your little companion. I don't really want to ask any of the guards to babysit it, so it's probably best to keep it around and let your brother tend to it."

You smiled a little. "That sounds good."

Sesshomaru hummed disapprovingly under his breath. It was getting more and more difficult for him to keep his tongue at bay. However, at least Jaken was remaining silent, which was a miraculous feat onto itself.

All of you sat down at the table, Tahomaru assigning the seating positions. He wanted you beside him and Sesshomaru by the edge of the table next to a corner, so that the Demon Lord could keep an eye on Jaken, who was to remain more or less unseen and unheard at the corner. Sesshomaru was obviously very displeased with the placement and kept a sharp stare towards you that was basically saying "you will pay for this" in the gleam of his eyes.

Before you knew it, various servants came in to fill the table with food. Per your request, there was plenty of raw meat, as well as other cooked options and vegetable-based options that Tahomaru reminded you that you could try if you wanted to. He added with a laugh that he really liked food and could give some recommendations, and proceeded to talk about the farms that the stir-fried vegetables came from.

"You wouldn't believe it, y/n, but before I was born, we never had the vegetable harvests that we do today," Tahomaru ranted on. "Our land used to flood all the time and we suffered from major crop deaths --"

The door to the dining room slid open. Sesshomaru's gaze shot out of the corners of his eyes in the direction of the entrance.

"But my father, Daigo Kagemitsu, changed everything and saved the land --" Tahomaru continued proudly.

"Tahomaru, are you already bragging about that story?" the voice of Tahomaru's father asked from the door. He smirked a little, obviously enjoying the praise he was getting even though he socially had to pretend that it was unnecessary.

Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed very slightly at the sight of the middle-aged man. There was something not right about his aura. It wasn't demonic, but it also wasn't that of a typical human. Sesshomaru didn't know "what" he could call him, and that made him frustrated.

Tahomaru snickered a little. "I'm not really bragging, Chichiue. I'm just trying to tell our guests the truth." He proceeded to introduce you and Sesshomaru to his father.

Daigo Kagemitsu seemed to catch on to Sesshomaru's suspicious eye towards him. His face hardened very slightly before he sat down. "I must say, I've never found myself dining with demons before."

"They're not like those demons that cause trouble," Tahomaru said. "They're different, more elegant kinds of demons --"

"Don't rant so much, Tahomaru," Daigo said. His sharp, dark eyes looked towards you and then to Sesshomaru. "There's no need to be wearing armour. No battles are about to happen here."

"It's what I always wear," Sesshomaru said cooly.

Daigo straightened his shoulders some. "Very well. It's your decision," he said, taking one last look at you before he began to eat.

Tahomaru + Hyakkimaru / Dororo S1E11

[strawberrhyyh]

Vean Dororo

[r0bita]

I hate reminding myself about this, but I gotta get it out of my chest before it comes back to my mind and gives me a headache at a bad time.

I think what really really gave me a lot of disgust towards the Dororo 2019 fandom, besides the increasing amount of transphobia and occasional ableism, was the fact that their attitudes towards Dororo's character changed so drastically after the "gender reveal" that they just ignored his actual importance to the story.

The moment the audience found out about Dororo's gender, a lot of the fandom's perception of Dororo's role as a main character and his relationship with Hyakkimaru's went from being a child war survivor and being sworn brothers/in a genuine partnership to being a "damsel" and "possible love interest" (It was bad enough that Dororo is very obviously a small child and lot of people were very lax about the fanon groomy behavior. Very distressing, in my opinion).

The whole experience with the fandom came off not only as transphobic, but also incredibly misogynistic and predatory towards Dororo's character.

No matter how many times I go back to the 2019 anime, for the purpose of trying to enjoy it again, it is often times ruined by other people percieving Dororo as less than what his character was meant to be, someone to root for in a survival story and watch grow up into his own person.

day 8: tahomaru from dororo

alt versio under read more (spoiler warning!)

[amberisnothere]

Hyakkimaru & Tahomaru googling themselves (Wip)

[xjulixred45x]

I am more curious on your thoughts on animes and shows on your master list. What are your thoughts on Dororo? I liked it and my god the temple fire scene will forever not make me cry

DORORO!!! I ABSOLULTY LOVE IT!

Maybe You don't know it(most of the people who follow me i think) but i started writing in Tumblr to make content of Dororo! I wanted to search for material of the series(mainly Tahomaru bc he is My fav)and find NOTHING! So i went all

And did the four works of Tahomaru that are in the Masterlist of Dororo:3 it's a fun fact that i think You could know.

If we talk about the series, i see it in the whole fiasco of the quarentine(2020) with My sis, and was one of the first series of high Quality i ever seen.

Animation? Awesome! Absolulty love the character desing and how the movements of Hyakkimaru change in the progress of losing/gaining limbs back. The fight scenes(specially the ones of Hyakkimaru and Tahomaru) are SUPER COOL! And in general i really like those stories of the Sengoku Era.

(it's very funny how Hyakkimaru gets used to several of His senses in record time. Specially the smell😂).

The Characters are interesting, they grew in the story, we get to know them to emphatize with them(specially Dororo) and we are happy for the ones who get a good Ending, and heartbroken for the ones who get a Bad Ending(WHY MY BOY--).

My favorite characters besides Tahomaru( how can Nui don't love this Ray of sunshine?? He deserved better) are easily Mio(Bc was the first time i saw those strong topics in a series and it make her superior. Also her song get stuck in My head FOR YEARS)and Jukai(the whole path of His redemtion, His relationship with Hyakkimaru, how he was worried that he could become a monster only for Hyakkimaru to see him as his mother I CANT--).

Even if i really liked the themes of morality(with if it was Right to kill off Hyakkimaru or not BC of the people of Daigo's domain) and how they resolve the conflict, I feel the story could have been longer, but at the same time i'm glad the story didn't get over extended like some others (COFCOFinuyashaCOFCOFNaturoCOFCOF), and either way it's an amazing story.

Hope this is the answer You wanted!

Hope that when i have the Requests Open again, Someone Requests from Dororo :,) for the old times.

¡¡¡DORORO!!! ¡ME ENCANTA!

Tal vez no lo sepan (creo que la mayoría de las personas que me siguen) pero comencé a escribir en Tumblr para hacer contenido de Dororo. Quería buscar material de la serie (principalmente Tahomaru porque es mi favorito) y ¡NO ENCONTRÉ NADA! Así que me puse a todo: "¡Está bien, lo haré yo mismo!"

E hice las cuatro obras de Tahomaru que están en la Masterlist de Dororo:3 es un dato curioso que creo que podrías saber.

Si hablamos de la serie, la veo en todo el fiasco de la cuarentena (2020) con Mi hermana, y fue una de las primeras series de alta Calidad que vi.

¿Animación? ¡Genial! Me encanta el diseño de los personajes y cómo cambian los movimientos de Hyakkimaru a medida que pierde o recupera sus extremidades. Las escenas de lucha (especialmente las de Hyakkimaru y Tahomaru) son ¡GENIALES! Y, en general, me gustan mucho esas historias de la Era Sengoku.

(Es muy gracioso cómo Hyakkimaru se acostumbra a varios de sus sentidos en un tiempo récord. Especialmente el olfato).

Los personajes son interesantes, crecieron en la historia, llegamos a conocerlos para empatizar con ellos (especialmente Dororo) y estamos felices por los que obtienen un buen final, y desconsolados por los que obtienen un mal final (¿POR QUÉ MI NIÑO!?).

Mis personajes favoritos además de Tahomaru (¿cómo puede Nui no amar a este Rayo de sol? Se merecía algo mejor) son fácilmente Mio (Porque fue la primera vez que vi esos temas fuertes en una serie y la hacen superior. Además, su canción se quedó atrapada en mi cabeza POR AÑOS) y Juka (todo el camino de su redención, su relación con Hyakkimaru, cómo estaba preocupado de que pudiera convertirse en un monstruo solo para que Hyakkimaru lo viera como su madre, NO PUEDO...).

Incluso si realmente me gustaron los temas de moralidad (si fue correcto matar a Hyakkimaru o no por culpa de la gente del dominio de Daigo) y cómo resuelven el conflicto, siento que la historia podría haber sido más larga, pero al mismo tiempo me alegra que la historia no se haya extendido demasiado como otras (COFCOFinuyasha COFCOFNaturoCOFCOF), y de cualquier manera es una historia increíble.

¡Espero que esta sea la respuesta que querías!

Espero que cuando vuelva a abrir las solicitudes, alguien solicite algo de Dororo :,) para recordar los viejos tiempos.

[kokusfluffyhair]

FluffyBrat Tahomaru Headcanons

He can try to deny it, but anyone who knows Tahomaru knows he's a sensitive boy

All headcanons are in a platonic relationship and are SFW

+ He is easily soothed by blankets, fuzzy socks, and warm tea

+ He cries sometimes. Don't tell him that he's crying but be there with him so he isn't alone

+ He'll also go on full brat mode and yell at anyone who enters his space while he's crying, but if it's you, he will apologise after and then get even more sad

+ He values your being with him more than he will ever say, but he shows it through gifts and doing acts of service

+ He likes when you style his hair for him, but he denies how much he values it

+ He melts into your hugs

+ He loves, loves hugs

+ Just hug him and feel his muscles relax into the embrace

+ He gets flustered if you comment on his height

+ He's sensitive about his height and don't EVER tell him that it's ok because he'll grow more as he gets older

+ He likes to play games like tag. Anything to get him active and semi-aggresive while being with you

+ He has a very bright and lighthearted smile when he's happy

+ He can really light up a room with his smile and laugh

+ He likes to have (appropriate!) sleepovers in his room. Usually Mutsu and Hyogo join you too

+ He draws pictures for you and gives you flowers

+ He complains about his parents a lot, and not just about his mother ignoring him but about not getting the horse he wanted or not being allowed to go to battle

+ The one thing he doesn't complain about is food. He will eat anything and everything (within reason)

+ He especially likes sweets and soft, chewy foods

+ He eats a lot at once and gets stomachaches

+ Once the stomachache settles, his favourite thing to do is be lazy laying next to you

+ He falls asleep almost immediately with a full stomach and a warm blanket

+ He sleeps with a stuffed toy around but don't tell anyone

+ He feels unnoticed and needs the companionship, whether fron the toy, from you, or ideally, both

+ He loves to show you around his land and brag about it

+ He can get on rants talking about how he wants to continue to make life better for his people

Kokushibo 🤝 Tahomaru

Having a complicated relationship with your brother that starts out as loving but turns into hatred because you want to prove that you're better than them and it turns into an obsession that literally strips you of your humanity as you will go as far as making a deal with the devil to achieve your goal and by the time you realise you were wrong, it's too late and you don't even get a single chance to apologise

[ansatsu-sha]

Tahomaru / Dororo S1E9

[v-67]

Why was Dororo named Dororo when it was so mainly based on Hyakkimaru

I'm genuinely asking, any theories over this?

....

Also I wish they showed us Dororo and Hyakkimaru meeting again in the end, they kinda did but it wasn't clear clear, I wanted to see them in one frame

....

But over all, it was really engaging, and felt like one of the Greek mythological stories, the way the story keeps going

[r0bita]

Considering that Hyakkimaru was the prototype for Black Jack, and the the original draft for Dororo was going to end with Dororo being confirmed to have been the one constructed from Hyakkimaru's missing body parts, we can argue that Pinoko being a sentient vestigial twin from her sister was probably taken from Dororo's role in the scrapped ending draft.

Which probably implies that Dororo might have originally been Hyakkimaru's vestigial twin, possibly explaining why they were telepathically linked to each other in the manga aside from Hyakkimaru just being an op cyborg.

Plus, It's the kind of insane shit that Osamu Tezuka would come up with for a twist and I'd accept it as the true canon.
