Normal and half-humans aren't affected by the rain, which is so full of concentrated magic that it sickens magic users (it never rains in their world until it starts to towards the end of the story).And, if the Cross-Eyes are well informed, Noi's smoke could have undone Kai's transformation into a pie. And Noi can restore a body to its normal state (healing Shin's arm after a Magic User starts to melt it).Chota's smoke reverses the effects of magic.Kaiman, being hexed by Risu's Curse and Ebisu's smoke is immune to smoke.In general, someone who is already affected by magic is resistant to other magic.Anti-Climax: After En is resurrected, instead of going after the Cross-Eyes' Boss he ditches everyone to return to his mansion and is promptly incapacitated by the magic-sapping rain.Amnesiac Hero: Kaiman doesn't remember anything before being transformed.Alien Blood: Magic-users can be identified by black particles in their blood.Affably Evil: Devils, when they aren't randomly killing people for fun.The fact that he doesn't even have a given name should probably clue viewers in that he's just a punk who Kaiman kills at the end of the first episode. Advertised Extra: The Sorcerer turning people into bugs was shown quite prominently in the trailers for the anime and one could be forgiven for thinking he was a major character.
Ebisu can be one when she's lucid, but thats very rare. Action Girl: Most prominently Nikaido and Noi.The result is a setting of borderline psychopaths living in absolute squalor that nonetheless maintains a positive, if not downright cheerful atmosphere for most of its run time, and it makes for an unconventional yet fun experience. The juxtaposition between the grim setting and the comedic elements of the story creates a very strange but engrossing atmosphere as the world of Hole and the intricacies of its society are revealed to the viewer.

The series is also well known for its quirky sense of humor. Despite the grim setting and copious amounts of gore and Squick, the series has a very offbeat sense of charm and places heavy emphasis on both The Power of Friendship and The Power of Love. Since then, Kaiman has been travelling around the Hole, accompanied by Nikaido, his female companion, in hunt of any Magic Users he can come across, hoping to find whoever cursed him and that in doing so he will be able to reclaim the lost memories of his past.Īs alluded to by the quote from Hayashida Q above, Dorohedoro is a series best described as "a bunch of nice, friendly characters making the most out of living in a place that is simultaneously a Crapsack World and a World of Badass".
The series follows the story of Kaiman, an unlucky fellow who had such an encounter with a Magic User, that left him with his head transformed into that of a reptile's and unable to remember who he was before the transformation. In the gloomy, dank and dystopian underworld so dismal it's known only as "the Hole," sorcerers from a different world, the so-called "Magic Users", have been plucking people off the streets to use as guinea pigs for atrocious "experiments" in the black arts.
