Dororo

The story of "Dororo" starts with a samurai lord named Daigo Kagemitsu: his land is dying, and he's very desperate for power. So he goes and makes a deal with demons, even turning his back on Buddha.

The demons grant his wish, but it comes with a dark price. When his first son is born, the poor kid's got no limbs, no nose, no eyes - basically, he's missing everything. Villagers toss the child into a river, but a medicine man comes to the rescue by hooking the kid up with prosthetics and weapons. Now, the boy's on a mission - to defeat those demons that used him as a sacrifice. Each demon he takes down, he gets back a piece of himself.

He's wandering around for a while until he meets an orphan boy named Dororo, and they quickly become buddies. Together, the two fight demons left and right in the crazy world, trying to survive and reclaim their humanity.
