The Dororo watch order covers MAPPA's 2019 series in two cours totalling 50 episodes, plus an early Dororo Pilot Special for the curious. Begin with the main run — Episodes 1-26 followed by Episodes 1-24 — which together tell the complete story of Hyakkimaru reclaiming his stolen body parts from the demons his father bargained away. The Pilot Special sits outside the main continuity as a promotional short, so watch it first as a taste or skip it entirely without missing anything essential; the correct order for the narrative itself is simply the two episode blocks back to back. There are no movies to fold in and no filler to route around, which keeps this one of the more straightforward franchises to watch in order. Start at Episode 1 of the first cour and continue directly into the second for the full 24-episode conclusion.

## The order

1. Dororo Pilot Special (OVA) — optional
2. Dororo to Hyakkimaru: Episodes 1-26
