What? Hey! Stop!
Let me see Mr. En!
THE BEGINNING
Caiman…
Hey there.
How are you feeling?
Okay, I guess.
I heard from Noi. You're close to death, aren't you?
You are so blunt, you know?
Yes.
I only hang on because I'm getting Noi's smoke drip-fed like this.
I know it's not the best time, but…
-Boss, it's Fujita. -Got it.
What happened, Fujita?
Ebisu…
Ebisu is dead.
Okay. And?
Well… so, you know…
We could use Kikurage…
With Kikurage's magic…
Fujita. Kikurage isn't my pet.
She's a member of the family.
IS IT TIME TO EAT? GIVE ME FOOD, PLEASE.
See? Kikurage is saying it's just as I said.
As proof, I've never given her an order.
I took advantage of her nature, but…
Then what am I supposed to do? I want to bring Ebisu back to life.
That depends completely on Kikurage's feelings.
And, by the way,
if you try to force her to use her magic, something terrifying will happen.
What? Something terrifying?
IT'S ABOUT TIME FOR MY PATROL.
I guess it's best to take advantage of her nature.
I think she feels like reviving people when there's a corpse nearby.
She was close enough to Ebisu to sleep with her.
LET'S START WITH THIS ROOM…
ALL CLEAR.
Kikurage.
Come here.
Kikurage.
THAT…
Kikurage…
…STINKS OF DEATH!
Kikurage, wait!
THAT WAS VERY UNPLEASANT.
You know, I checked the head, and there's definitely something wrong.
The spikes on the head were carefully cut off, and besides…
Look.
It looks like someone dissected it.
I see.
It's the head from back then.
Oh, that's the one I severed, right?
It does look like a head my hammer knocked off.
If that's the case, why was this in that place?
I don't know, but I saw it.
Caiman doesn't have a lizard face anymore.
-What? -What?
Is that true?
What's that?
Hey, wait!
If that lizard guy's face is back to normal,
then Ebisu had cast magic on him.
Did you kill her?
No, I didn't! I just want Kikurage to revive her.
Even if you revive her, I wonder if the Devil tumor in her head is okay.
Fujita, have him take a look.
He may not mean well, but his skills are solid.
Her hair!
You taped it up yourself, didn't you?
Yeah, it looks like it's okay.
Before you revive her and stuff, let Noi fix the damage to the body.
I'll do that.
Still, everyone's so indifferent about Ebisu's death.
Would they react the same way if I died?
Kikurage! Hey!
Don't run away! Isn't Ebisu your friend?!
What are you doing, you idiot?!
My mushroom almost snapped! You trying to kill me?!
Chota.
Sorry, I didn't realize it was you, Fujita.
After all, I can't see, you know?
That must be tough.
But wouldn't it be easy for you to turn yourself back to normal with your magic?
That's true, but you know, this mushroom…
It smells like En, so I like it.
Is that so?
Don't you smell something weird?
Well, actually…
I see. So Ebisu is…
That's true! Ebisu doesn't have much luck.
-She doesn't have much hair now either. -Here it is!
I got this from a Devil long ago.
It seems that if you wear this hairpin, you can always be smiling and happy.
I'll put it on her… Done.
Good for you, Ebisu.
Now, where did Kikurage go?
It's Noi!
Noi!
All right, come at me from anywhere!
Fujita! Are you okay?
I'm sorry. I was so into my training that I didn't notice you.
What happened? Where's Ebisu?
Did you kill her?
I didn't!
-I just need to fix her, right? -What?
Hey, wait a minute!
You just healed her while the hairpin was inside her head.
Really? Well, just come again if something's wrong with her.
I'll heal her.
Will she be okay?
But the smell of rot is gone.
It's good that you're pretty now, Ebisu.
So heavy…
I'm at my limit.
There you are, Kikurage.
PUNCH!
DID YOU DIE AGAIN?
LET'S PLAY SOME MORE.
PUNCH!
DID YOU DIE AGAIN?
THIS WILL MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER.
Stop it!
Don't waste magic on that!
Look, it's a corpse. Bring it back to life, quick!
So that was the terrifying thing.
EBISU
In the end, I wasn't able to revive Ebisu today.
I'll try again tomorrow.
HEY, MISS. ARE YOU SLEEPING?
WE HAVE A DEAL. YOU ALWAYS GIVE ME A SNACK AT THIS TIME.
WAKE UP, MISS! IT'S TIME FOR MY SNACK!
NOW, GIVE ME A SNACK.
Just what on earth
are you?
This dream again. Damn it.
Could it be that I'm scared?
Is the Cross-Eyes boss still alive?
If I could use Nikaido's magic…
Hydration.
Ebisu.
I heard you got a new mask. It looks good on you.
I can't actually see it, though.
Looks like the hairpin I gave her is still inside her head,
and that made her a little off again.
I'm laughing my ass off.
Ever since I became a mushroom, I feel at ease in dark forests like this.
Let's see the horoscope for Gemini Sorcerers this month.
Gemini is my sign!
So-so.
Something may happen that makes you fall even harder
for your long-time one-sided crush.
I'm looking forward to that.
Now to Capricorns.
But only "so-so"?
Oh, that's En.
Bad.
Still, problems left unsolved in the past are likely to be settled.
She said it's "bad." Poor En.
Next up, Pisces.
But I'm a little worried.
Good.
This horoscope is usually spot on.
Good work. Would you like something to drink?
Yes, please!
TERMITE EXTERMINATION
I'm so tired.
It doesn't cost much upfront,
but exterminating termites with liquid poison is hard.
But I need money to cover Tetsujo's and Ton's treatment.
Big bro! Big bro Dokuga!
You've got a drink! Give me a sip of--
Stop it. You'll die.
How much did you make today?
Six hundred nicks from three houses.
I made 800 nicks as a waitress.
Really? I see…
Dokuga.
I talked it over with Ushishimada,
and I think we've got no choice but to pawn this.
This is all the both of us could earn today.
There aren't any decent jobs for people like us who can't use magic.
It's just as he says.
To save Tetsujo and Ton,
we need to get some A-rank smoke as soon as possible.
We can't pawn this knife.
Dokuga! Why not?
Are you saying you don't care if Tetsujo and Ton die?
For starters, you're hiding something from us--
-Hey! -Listen up.
This is something I got directly from the boss.
I'll return it to him myself.
I'll also get back everything we've pawned until now.
I'll do something about the money.
If you understand, just shut up.
Okay, I get it.
I get it.
Hey, Dokuga!
CROSS-EYE EXPEDITION
Shaitan. An organization of the few heal-and-repair-type Sorcerers.
They're the ones driving up the price of healing-type smoke.
The heavy security and bodyguards
make it hard to break in.
However…
Every day, they invite women and throw parties.
All right, let's have fun!
This booze is great. Drink up!
There's a lot more in that jar too.
They're having another party downstairs today?
We wanna have some fun once in a while too.
Would you like some fruit?
Until now, any Cross-Eye who stood out was eliminated by En.
That's why we waited quietly for the boss to return.
But not anymore.
Die!
A murder without magic.
En will definitely hear about this.
Boss. Where are you now?
Where am I?
Who are you?
The name's Aikawa. Nice to meet you.
BIG BANDAGE MASK SAFE AND SECURE
I'm glad I bought big-sized bandage masks.
All right, I'm doing it.
Thank you. The stinging has subsided a little.
What's your name? And why do you look like that?
I'm Asu…
No. I'm Kawajiri.
Don't you remember?
The Devil you met in the church basement at En's mansion.
What do you mean?
Aren't you the man named Caiman?
The friend of Nikaido's who was in the Hole.
Nikaido? I don't know anyone by that name.
It seems I have mistaken you for someone else.
Anyway, thanks for your help. I'm going now.
Going? Hey, wait!
It's time to work, you two.
So the Cross-Eyes are on the move again?
Yeah.
Everyone who was at a shop called "Shaitan" in Devas was slaughtered.
The footprints suggest there's only one culprit, and they used a blade.
It might be the Cross-Eyes' boss. Make sure you finish him!
And so, we're off to work, Mr. Kasukabe.
Be a good boy, kid.
Shin, I'd like to meet a Devil. How do I make that happen?
I heard there's a room in the mansion to summon Devils.
But be careful with that.
Got it. I'll look for it.
What am I so anxious about?
To think I'd send Shin and Noi without being sure it was the Cross-Eyes.
However, what is this uneasiness?
En, let's have some tea!
Chota.
En, what are you planning to do with Nikaido?
She's going to die if you leave her like this.
For some reason, Nikaido won't use her magic at all.
Until now, I respected her will and watched over her.
But I'm at my limit.
I'll make her use magic, no matter what.
Even if I have to be a bit rough.
Is the Cross-Eyes' boss really dead?
I must confirm that.
Six years ago, I blew smoke at him. And then…
The town of Mastema was destroyed.
No one could survive that without turning into a mushroom.
But I saw it.
The shadow of a headless man crawling out of the mushrooms.
-Where are we? -En's mansion.
Is this your magic?
Nikaido is up ahead. Let's go.
Damn it.
Still, aren't you a great Sorcerer?
Being able to go anywhere you want, I envy you!
What kind of magic do you use?
Well… I can't tell someone I just met.
Nikaido.
Who are you?
Nikaido! It's me, Asu.
Asu?
Chidaruma turned me back into a Sorcerer, and now I look like this.
So that's what happened to you, Asu.
Don't tell me Chidaruma did this because you helped me.
It's okay.
After all, you saved me before.
More importantly, your body…
It's because I'm rejecting the contract with En.
I'm still able to stay sane,
but I think I'm at my limit.
Anyway, let's run away together. My magic can handle it.
-Who is he? -Right.
-That guy is… -I'm Aikawa.
I have nothing to do with this, but he brought me here.
That voice…
I'm sorry, could you take off that mask and show me your face?
What? Why?
Why can't you take it off? It's not a big deal, is it?
Nikaido?
Good grief. I'm gonna get out of here.
Caiman!
I don't know who that is.
If you don't take off your mask…
Stop it!
See? You should stop--
Damn it…
Gotcha!
Nikaido!
Caiman…
Are you happy now?
Jeez, you really are a violent girl.
Caiman…
Goodbye.
Nikaido.
Was that man Caiman after all?
I don't know.
Should we go after him?
Yeah.
Nikaido, Nikai…
Damn, the drip-feed!
Nikaido!
I'm getting headaches again.
I found him.
Since you were revived, you've been laughing nonstop.
Don't laugh when we go to Mr. En's place.
After all, we're going to ask him to let you stay at the mansion.
You're all on your own now. Do you understand?
You idiot!
What is this?
Whoa!
What's happening? This feeling is just like…
Today, I'll definitely make Nikaido use her magic.
I can't hold back anymore.
Kikurage.
Come here.
Kikurage?
The security device…
And she's terrified.
What is this feeling? I feel sick.
DEFORMED REUNION
You…
As I thought.
You're alive!
What?
Take care of Kikurage, Chota.
En!
It's the same as six years ago.
I'm getting dizzy. My entire body aches and throbs.
The fight will be over in an instant.
I'll end this with my own hands.
Blow out smoke, En!
En!
How long is this mushroom going to fly?
I turned back to normal?
Why?
No way… That can't be…
En!
A headless man. That must be…
THE END
What we learned in Episode 7.
Fujita's love for Ebisu is real.
Chota's head is ever-changing.
The boss's strength is overwhelming.
En!
What we'll learn in Episode 8 is still hidden in chaos.
This is Dorohedoro.
