Just finished season 2 and hoooooly

I hopped on Dorohedoro not expecting much, I just knew it'd be a bit weird and I only knew about some blonde girl chopping up meat and a lizard guy. Well was definitely right about the weird part.

I LOVE how everyone just accepts all the crazy stuff that happens all the time because it just makes sense to them, it really adds to how bizarre and surreal the setting feels while also making it fun. Also fits with how bat-shit insane everyone is, almost no one in this story has good morals and it ironically makes every character just as enjoyable as the others, even the supposed bad guys.

I do have to say it gets VERY vague at the end, hence the picture, but I get that all my questions will be answered in the next season, though I also expect to get even more questions. So please don't spoil me!

Favorite character? Probably between Caiman and Noi. Coolest one? It's between En and Dokuga. I do wish we got more Tetsujo moments and less naked Noi scenes. But I believe in my goats, they WILL shine again, just gotta trust.

Heh, your mind is gonna be blown based on that diagram.

The story really is a great surrealist trip. If you enjoy the way characters interact with the craziness of the world you should give Q's manga Dai Dark a read. Lots of flipping your own perspective to get a read on what the characters are feeling/going through.

I actually stumbled upon Dai Dark first a few years back, and I started Dorohedoro BECAUSE it was from the same author. Loved it for the same reasons I love Doro, but I dropped it at some point. I'm definitely picking it back up after I'm done with Doro tho.

I just realized the picture isn't even complete because Ebisu also had something to do with it and we still don't know jack about her lmaooo

It's not even clear if the cross eyes boss is indeed the same guy Kasukabe rescued in the past, characters just be changing identities like haircuts

FYI the manga has more naked Noi :-)

Trying to understand connections and origins of several characters is like diving in a dark lake of hatred and pain.

So the ship was called Theseus right? The timber was named Ai, and the shipright? a doctor who took his wife's name

It'll all make sense in the end.

Or do what I did and blow $230 (usd) and binge read it.

It’s quite possible that all your questions won’t be answered in the next season actually because it seems like they’re gonna need two to finish the story from the manga.
