The Sengoku period in Japan lasted from 1467-1615, during which time Japan experienced several civil wars and almost constant social upheavals. This turbulent period was the ideal setting for Tezuka's story of samurai Dororo.In the historical anime with elements of fantasy Dororo, before his birth, Hyakkimaru's father, a warlord from Kaga Prefecture, made a deal with the devil. He happily exchanges Hyakkimaru's limbs and organs for a chance to achieve greater prosperity. Although he didn't know it was what he had promised, it certainly didn't seem as haunting to him as common sense should have. Just as Japan is fighting for its identity on the battlefield, so too must Hyakkimaru find his own identity.
