Antagonists

Discussion re antagonists and creating suspense

So I’ve been reading a bunch of David Baldacci lately—good, solid bestseller bait—and for the most part I find his protagonists solid, likeable and sympathetic but not especially memorable or interesting.

However, in the one I’m reading now, the antagonist (or is she another protagonist—I’m not sure) is really pretty riveting. She’s a North Korean assassin sent to kill the president’s family in retaliation…well that’s not important. She grew up in a work camp under horrific conditions, was brought out and trained (rather brutally) as an assassin. As readers, we care deeply about her even as we hope that she will fail in her mission and maybe defect to the US and live happily ever after, but we rather suspect she will fail and die. That seems to be the source of the suspense in the story, and it’s very effective.

In addition, this character has gone back to the work camp and brought out a little girl on the (pretext?) of training her. However, she appears to be mothering the child more than training her. There’s some tension about whether she will mother the child or actually turn her into an assassin. And what will happen to the child if she is killed or defects? In NK, every member of traitor’s family is sent to the labor camps to “purge the tainted bloodline.”

The Rescue of the Endangered Child is one of the most powerful themes in literature. It’s a recurring theme in the book. Over and over, the protags are rescuing children against enormous odds.

Another theme is the choice between following orders v using your own judgment in the field. Will the protags help the assassin or, failing that, her child? Divided loyalties is a related theme.

The story is full of relatively one-dimensional characters, but this one character makes me think about villains (antagonists) that you care deeply about. Tragic villains? When do you want to use one of these? How do you do it? Is it always more fun to read? Or are there times when it’s better just to have a villain the reader can hate without complications? The consensus in the writing/publishing community is that the reader should be able to have some empathy/sympathy for the villain. How would you go about making some of your villains more sympathetic and would you want to?

Could having some empathy for the villain make the reader hate him more?

These are the things that go through my mind when I am muddling around in the garden.

Salome's Beefy Boys

Dimitrios and Tanacchios Pietro ( Boy one and Boy Two)

Big and hairy with brown eyes and long lashes as big and soft as the brownbullies they resemble.

Salome assumes they are twins until she gets them home and realizes they are much stronger and faster than they should be for humans--normal humans anyway.

They're not cloned from a legally registered line, and their modifications were obviously botched. They have the physical mods: strength, speed, resilience, toughness. The cognitive mods, however, aren't right. They aren't especially bright (at all), but they still have long-term memory and enough initiative to wander off from their "owner."

I don't know who the owner is yet. Don't care right now. Whoever it is has to be wealthy enough to own a cloning tank (or two) and powerful enough to get away with something that's illegal and morally repugnant on most worlds. Could be a subplot down the road.

Salome will figure that their owner won't dare look too hard for the boys because it was a serious crime to create them, so she takes them along. Plus, they're slaves. It's immoral. And they're sweet. Their owner, however, has reason to desperately want them back. Not only could tissue samples be traced to the tanks and solution that grew them, but they were created for some nefarious purpose like...I dunno...blackmail of someone also hugely rich and powerful (who is possibly after the boys as well to get them away from the blackmailer or something). Salome and company will have to watch to make sure nobody sees them acting like clones. It's not a registered line, so people will assume they're normal twins unless they do something obviously "cloney" in front of someone.

After a night of revelations in Salome's bed, the boys get attached to Salome and show up at the ship with all their meager belongings, ready to join the crew. They don't know anything about being paid and don't care where they sleep. They eat a lot, but they're happy to do whatever Salome tells them to do.

They'll follow the cat, too, if Salome isn't around, and they might go along with Skyler if he coaxes them and tells them Salome needs them to do something. Anyone else, they stare at with gentle, bovine expressions. If threatened, they'll efficiently pound the threat, and somebody might need to teach them to fight properly. Not sure I would ever really trust them with a gun. They're really just big sweet boys.

## Mwassaa Musyoka (Guild Pilot Tyro-2)

### Role in Story

the pilot. Absolutely essential to the functioning of the ship. No pilot means basically no ship.

### Goal

to survive long enough and build up enough money to pay for both the hideously expensive yoke and the hideously expensive treatment for the disease that was killing her

### Physical Description

little hard to say. Victor and I are figuring relatively young – mid 20s

### Internal Conflicts

becoming a pilot was her only chance to survive, but she's had to sacrifice family, friends, and the life she knew. Sometimes she wonders if it was a good trade. Despite the power of being able to pinch space, she is, in one sense, completely dependent on her captain and crew. If they fail, if they betray her, she could still die or be abandoned somewhere at the end of the universe with no way to get back that requires an enormous amount of trust
GG Plot C3S2

### Goal:

Goal: SR will have a violent encounter with an enforcer from the crime syndicate. He’ll come out on top, but just barely, giving the crew another complication to get past the customs inspector before the Fantastic Blindness departs (body?). He’ll smuggle it aboard in addition to the contraband and keep the custom’s inspectors in the dark about everything as they complete their inspection.
Salome's Cat

Salome's *true* life partner, a huge white long-haired male with a flat face and forepaws like a raccoon. He is appropriately catlike. He likes snoozing in warm places, snoozing in high places, snoozing in boxes and small enclosed spaces. He loves ear rubbing, backscratching and Salome. When she is present he disdains all others, making snide remarks and disparaging commentary. When she leaves the room, he makes lovey with whoever is available – especially if they are allergic to cats or fastidious about getting cat hair on their clothes.

I can't decide if he can handle a weapon with his prehensile paws and opposable thumbs. He still has to walk on all fours, so he wouldn't be able to carry a gun even if he could find one tiny enough.

He's better suited to sneaking and spying and creeping into small spaces. He can operate a keyboard or console.

Roughly as intelligent as an average human, but no genius, probably not even by neo-cat standards.

Unless we want to make him a super-genius computer hacker. rofl, ha ha ha ha ha. No.
GG Plot C3S1

### Goal:

Goal: SJ will feel like her luck is finally turning around as they Fantastic Blindness’ takes on a shipment of high end reactor rods. Highly controlled substance that is sure to bring a huge profit at the remote destination. SJ will notice some unusual activity around the ship as SR brings MM into his confidence, but still won’t see through the deal he’s made with the crime syndicate nor have any idea that they’re moving contraband with the fuel.
GG Plot C1S1

## Great Gap Plot Chapter One, Scene one

### POV: Salome

Goal: Meet SJ at a low point in her existence. As the scene progresses it should be apparent that she has obtained a new boat (*NB Fantastic Blindness*) and that this is not necessarily a great thing. Salome doesn't know the first thing about running a ship. She never even knew she had a relative much less one who knew about her and could possibly care enough to bequeath her anything. Who the hell is he and what could possibly have possessed him?Salome is not in any position to ask many questions. The first and most obvious solution is to sell the ship and use the proceeds to get herself something that would make her life a little better.Instead, she goes home to celebrate with her to Harry boy toys. When she wakes up the next morning, she finds that she has, indeed, been fired from her latest job. She decides on a whim that she hardly understands herself to go take a tour of her new property.
GG Plot C1S2

### Goal:

need Salome, find out what kind of person she is – adopting strays and lost boys. She decides to go take a look at her new property – not with the idea of keeping it, you understand, just having a look out of curiosity.

### ~~Outline:~~

I'd like to try this: start with Salome lying awake in bed in the morning and finding herself increasingly seduced by the bizarre and inexplicable idea of owning her own ship. She knows it's a stupid idea. She decides that she might as well just go look. She might as well know what it is she's going to be trying to sell.I think her boy toys may attach themselves to her like baby ducks. I can't help it. I've fallen in love with them. They'll be useful later on and provide a complication for some future story. So Salome, the cat and the boy toys – okay maybe not the cat – head down to wherever it is they keep the ships to take a look at her new property. –

### ~~Goals:~~

~~Let the reader understand the layout of the ship, the relationship of the pilot to the technology, and introduce them to the dire situation the ship and crew are in at the beginning of the story.~~

Crappy Uncle Captain Atemu Mix

Not worth a whole fancy character page.

Ship owner who died by what appears to be an accident. Appears. Huh. I wonder what's going on with that. For some reason, he willed his ship to a relative so distant, the relationship would be distinguishable only by a genetic analysis.

Initially, I was going to pass this off as a lucky one-in-a-million break. Central records had to look for a relative whether they wanted to or not. Then I wondered casually how good old Captain Atemu Mix bought it. I pictured him stubbing his toe and getting infected with space-pox or getting his foot caught an asteroid disposal unit. Something foot-related anyway. He just struck me as that kind of guy. However, the more I thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed.

Still, I figured it was a questionable event that we could look into later. For Salome's purposes, it was still only a lucky break that Central Records (or whatever) tracked her down.

But Atemu's death just kept bugging me. I knew something wasn't right. He must have known he'd gotten himself into some kind of trouble, and for some reason, he needed to pass the ship to someone to keep it out of enemy hands. What enemy?

And how in the black of space did he track down a relative as distant as S, and why? And why, a few weeks before his death, did he will his ship to someone whose existence he wouldn't even know about if he hadn't gone looking for a relative? Any relative?

Did S mean anything to him, or was she just a warm body?

What was he doing that got him into trouble?

How did MM get hooked up with him? Was he the best she could do? Inexperienced pilot, something going against her that no one else wanted her? Too desperate to hold out for something better? Something in her background? Her history?

And if MM knew what Crappy Uncle Captain Atemu Mix was up to, why did she go along and why doesn't she tell Salome what she was getting in for?

Let's assume she didn't know. So Atemu must have been doing it clandestinely.

Was Captain Atemu a scoundrel, or...OMG, was he a secret agent running messages or supplies for a rebel alliance or secret resistance group? He could still be a crappy captain.

Were some of his crew in on it?

It's looking more and more suspicious.

That's a possible complication for a single book or for the long arc.
GG Plot C4S1

### Goal:

After the crew breaks the lynch pin MM jumps the Fantastic Blindness to the treasure island and SJ/SR learn about their new life on the run from the law and the crime syndicate. Things look very bleak as they explore the moon orbiting a minor gas planet at the edge of the star’s habitable zone. The moon is one of thousands of rocks orbiting the planet in a ring and not where the former colony base was sited.
NB Fantastic Blindness

### Role in Story

Pinch space vessel NB (Narrow Boat) Fantastic Blindness acts the the primary setting for the story. Owned by Captain Salome Jones after her uncle ?? died. Piloted by Mwassaa Musyoka.

### Unique Features

This pinch vessel is long and slender, only two decks with gravity simulation platting occupying the space between either of these (feet-to-feet). The pilot’s yoke chamber is a cramped sphere in the aft of the boat and there’s very little room for anyone outside the pilot’s void to occupy that space. Propulsion, including pinch work is managed from just behind the pinch sphere. Cargo is boxed and attached the boat’s prow, essentially pushed. A “bowsprit” can be extended forward of the cargo to increase maneuverability of the craft in real-space. The craft can pinch atmospheric and does have landing gear, this is only possible when the entwined subatomica are well known and landing site is prepared to accept her tonnage.

Deck A of the NB Fantastic Blindness includes a small galley, some interior storage, access to life support (forward of inhabited volume), engineering and navigation, signaling, and the Captain’s console.

Deck B of the NB Fantastic Blindness consists of crew quarters arranged along one side of the hull and food synthesis lab situated in the aft near the pilot’s sphere. The remaining “empty” space includes an observation lounge and exercise equipment.

Access points between decks A and B are forward and aft of their respective main volumes. A crew person would fall in an arc through the bulkhead separating the decks to land on the gravity simulation plating on the far side of the portal. The pilot’s sphere is accessed via a secured bulkhead from Deck A. Life support, similarly can only be access through a secured portal from Deck B forward of the crew quarters. Real-space fuel is stored a various locations along the exterior of the craft in pressurized tanks that can be jettisoned.

Darcian Kib

## Binomial name

Psuedotitanis elator

Darcia's largest Paravian, the Darcian Kib is a large, flightless psuedobird native to Northre. Standing twelve feet tall, the Darcian kib towers over both human and gummy bear alike, and is the second largest predator on the planet.

## Taxonomy

The Darcian kib's only close relative is the Miniature Kib, but its placement as a derived Paravian was recognized early on. While it retains the raptorial claws on its wings of more basal members, the presence of a well-developed beak, and the heavily ossified back cartilage are indications that it is a more recently evolved group.

Including the extinct kibs, the Darcian Kib is also the most derived species of kib overall. The closely related Psuedotitanis immitator likely being a direct ancestor.

## Distribution and Habitat

Darcian Kibs are found across Northre, though they are much more common in open habitats than closed ones, likely to avoid competition with the Megamole, which is one of the few animals on the continent the Darcian kib is not known to feed upon.

## Behavior and Ecology

The Darcian Kib is an apex predator, and is hypercarnivorous. Prey items vary across ecosystems, with some populations getting as much as 60% of their diet from flesh-grazing on adult Megabrachios, with other populations feeding primarily on Borilla and antelopebirds. In general, however, kibs feed on animals of many trophic levels and sizes, and are extremely generalistic in their prey and hunting methods. Their large, scythe-like beak-tip is used for slashing at prey, but the back of the beak is incredibly robust for crushing bone and armor. Generally, Darcian kibs feed primarily on herbivorous or omnivorous species, regardless of range. Other carnivores are rarely eaten, likely because of their rarity in the ecosystem.

Typically, Darcian kibs are seen in monogamous mated pairs, with up to four chicks. The chicks are precocial at birth, and will follow the parents within days of hatching.
Carl Cucks

## About

**Carl Cucks** is the son of Richard Cucks the III, who is the leader of Cuckoodale. He lives on an island off the coast of Cuckoodale because he was deemed too crazy to become mayor and too crazy to be in public even though he lived in Cuckoodale. The island he lives on is called Carlcucksville or Carl Cucks Island because he is the only person to inhabit the island. Since he is the son of the mayor he has his own mansion named after him on the island.

## Facts

* His younger brother, Jason Cucks comes on the island to check on him 2 times a month.
* Supplies are shipped to his mansion every day by drones.
Dasplasaurus

## Binomial name

Dasplasaurus domesticus

Dasplasaurus is the largest omnivore and predator on Darcia, weighing over 10 tons on average. Because of its size and quadrupedal nature, Dasplasaurus is not a fast animal, and while capable of hunting, mostly browses, forages, and steals kills from smaller predators using its shear size.
GG Plot C2S1

POV: SJ

What if we do this from the XOs pov? Just for something different?

Goal: First cargo run, should appear to be a regular sort of event. SJ will be uncomfortable because she's now in debt for more money than she's ever seen or heard of, and she's dependent on the sketchy Skyler. They’ll make a pinch and be attacked by pirates.

So three days later, the cargo is on board, the linchpin is released, they're fueled for a jump out and back and in-system maneuvers. They're ready to pinch out. The new "captain" and her sketchy "business partner" are installed on the FB giving XO fits. Salome flounces around like she owns the place. the "crew" brought on by Skyler is even sketchier than he is, and wth is the damn cat doing on a spaceship. All right, a ship's cat isn't that unusual, and it is taking care of the damn vermin that keep chewing the wires. If only the damn thing wouldn't insist on talking and poking at the ship's controls like it thinks it's the ship's navigator.

The cargo seems like it's on the up-and-up--which is a bit of a surprise to XO given his impression of Skyler.

At least the "captain" is smart enough to leave the actual running of the ship to XO and confine herself to asking endless, annoying questions about everything on the ship. Plus, she's making chummy with the crew. Not sleeping with them thank god, except for her twin gigolos (he suspects they aren't actually twins, but he's not sure yet), and they don't really matter

they pinch out and arrive at their destination (wherever). Out of nowhere, a ship swoops out of the convenient and obligatory asteroid belt and starts shooting, crippling the fb (Matt's going to have to set this up).

the fb has to have some way to hold off the pirates long enough for the pilots to start talking.
Rebbeckie

## About

**Rebbeckie** is one of the hosts of *The Wacky Crew*. At first, she was a guest, but fans of *The Wacky Crew* loved her so much that they wanted her on the show as a host. She applied to be a host and easily got a spot. Rebbeckie became so popular that she even got her own game show. She is known for having an obsession with black ducks eating bread. Rebbeckie is known for her habit of throwing strawberries usually by black ducks. She has won many awards for strawberry throwing. During her time competing, she met her rival Rosa Del-Von Orple. Rebbeckie was born in Northern Cuckoodale on November 8. She is known to have a brother whose name is unknown.

## Habits

Rebecckie likes to go to the store to buy bread and seeds for the black ducks. She usually visits the Cuckoo Pond in Cuckoodale to see the black ducks. Her main target of duck is the Cuckoo Black Duck found usually by the Cuckoo Pond in Cuckoodale. Unlike other ducks, Cuckoo Black Ducks are known to be able to eat bread without any problems. She also regularly buys a package of strawberries to throw nearby the ducks. Her strawberry-throwing skills were showcased at many competitive events. Strawberry-throwing was a sport introduced as a joke by the International Sports Festival committee many years ago. The sport caught on and later became a well-known cultural symbol of many sports festivals.

## Rivalry

**The Beginning**

During her many years of competing, she won #1 in many contests for her strawberry-throwing abilities. While at a strawberry-throwing competition, she met her rival, Rosa Del-Von Orple. During the International Sports Festival competition, they both tied, and this result made both of them angry knowing that they both got the same prize at one of the most important contests. Rosa Del-Von Orple is 2nd cousin to the governor of South Orple. She often tries to use her title to win contests and is known to be extremely spiteful if she doesn't get her way. After the contest, Rebbeckie often used pictures of her as a target to throw strawberries at.

**Rise of the Rivalry**

During the start of their rivalry, Rosa bought all the strawberries by Rebbeckie with her family's money. To get back at her, Rebbeckie bought Rosa 100 fly swatters as a Christmas present. Over time, their rivalry escalated when one time Rebbeckie was getting her hair dyed and Rebbeckie noticed that Rosa sabotaged her hair dye and replaced it with poison. Due to this Rosa went to prison for half a year. A period after she got released she was closely monitored. While Rosa was gone Rebbeckie won another yearly contest. Ever since then, Rebbeckie and Rosa have been not-so-friendly rivals.

## Facts

* Rebbeckie is currently living in the Cuckoodale Cuckoo House.
* Rebbeckie dyes her hair once a month.
* Rebbeckie was a part of the crossover event, The Adventures You Know, which included characters from both the Floppy and Wacky Crew.
* When she isn’t working as a TV host, she loves to work as a duck expert as a side job.
* Her autobiography is titled The Ducks I See.
Episode 1

## Episode Chronology

**The Story of Daigo** (醍醐の巻, *Daigo no Maki*) is the 1st episode in the Dororo (2019) anime TV series.

## Characters

* Daigo Kagemitsu
* Nui No Kata
* Souryo
* Hyakkimaru
* Biwamaru
* Jukai
* Dororo
* Nota
* Deiki

## Synopsis

In Japan's Warring States period, Lord Daigo Kagemitsu makes a pact with 12 demons, offering them his unborn son in exchange for the prosperity of his lands. Years later, young thief Dororo is attacked by a ghoul but rescued by a mysterious boy, whose body parts turn out to be almost entirely prosthetic.

## Trivia

* The episode is based mainly on the first and second chapter of the manga. However there are some differences
	+ In the manga, Daigo makes a pact with 48 demons and after murdering the monk who guards the temple, it's offered as sacrifice after Kagemitsu gets his mark. In the anime, the demons are only limited to 12 and the scenes limits only to the assasinate of the monk.
	+ In the manga, Hyakkimaru's body as a newborn wasn't shown on chapter 1, after he was born, he was covered in bandages and left in a small basket at the river with the presence of their parents. In the anime however, Hyakkimaru's body was shown he lacked of many parts of his body as well as his skin. He was left at the river on a boat and covered with a purple blanket. However, their parents weren't present.
	+ In the second chapter, it's shown that Hyakkimaru talked towards the persons who were beating up Dororo as well as the first ghoul was shown on-screen. Despite having slain the ghoul, he didn't recover any part of his body. In the anime, Hyakkimaru stayed in silent and only went to slay the demon. After sheathing his arms with the help of Dororo he recovers his skin.
* This is the first on-screen ghoul Hyakkimaru slays, thus the part of his body he recovers is his skin,
Souryo

**Souryo** (僧侶, *Sōryo*), real name unknown, is a monk/priest who was in the temple Hall of Hell, before Daigo Kagemitsu came and killed him.

## Plot

### Dororo (2019)

The monk was in the Hall of Hell, when Daigo stepped in. He told Daigo that anyone who enters here was ready to cast away Buddha in favor of the demons. Even though he knew it was pointless at this point, he still tried to convince Daigo to not turn towards the path of evil. Seeing Daigo didn't care about the consequences, he tried to run but was cut from behind by him. In his final moments, the monk thanked Daigo for freeing him before the day he doubted Buddha would come.

Jisho Nun Ghost

The **Jisho Nun Ghost** (慈照尼の霊, *Jishōni no rei*) is the spirit of a deceased nun and a minor character who once ran an orphanage in the mountains. Some time ago, She, along with the orphans and the orphanage, burned down in a fire caused by Sabame after discovering that the landlord had made a pact with Maimai-onba to keep the land prosperous by sacrificing travellers and animals to feed the demoness and her offspring.

## Appearance

As a ghost, she has a lean, bony figure, with grotesque-looking physical features. She has an abnormally long neck and extended & thickened trapezius muscles. She has an oblong-shaped head with two dents at each side. She is mostly bald, except for a long wavy split-fringe on her forehead. She has neither eyelids nor eyebrows and has large, pale blue lips.

She wears her black robe tied together with a sash at the waist; the same one which she wore when she was still alive as a nun. However, it is now heavily torn and tattered, with the sleeves and edges all ragged and frayed. Her robe was loosened and torn to the extent that it cannot cover her shoulder, barely covering her bosom and exposing her cleavage. She also holds a stick, although her reasons for usage are unknown.

## Plot

### History

When she was still alive, she was an elderly nun that took in children in an orphanage located close to Sabame's little mountain village. However, she soon discovered the dark dealings that the landlord had engaged with. Sabame soon took notice of this, and thus in an effort to silence her, murdered her as well as commerced the villagers to abduct the orphans to be fed to Maimai-onba. He already knew that some orphans were to escape, so he ordered the villagers to burn down the orphanage itself by dousing it in oil before setting it alight, eradicating most evidence.

### Current

Sometime after the incident, the restless souls of the nun and the deceased children took physical forms as spirits, approaching any passing traveller in hopes of revealing to them the truth and avenging their deaths. They were usually found near the grounds of the orphanage where its charred remains still stand.

It is unknown whether the spirits of the nun and the children have been laid to rest following the destruction of the village, presumably had gone afterlife.

Crowned Serpent

## Binomial name

Coronocetoid albus

The Crowned Serpent is a medium-sized filter-feeding wailword. At 63 feet long and 6 tons in weight, it is a medium-sized member of Spinocetoidae, and is closest to the bristle-tongued wailwords of the genus Spinocetoid rather than the Northern Wrong Wailword. It is however, sometimes called the southern wrong wailword, as its call supposedly agitates and panics many species that share their range with the crowned serpent.
Hakumenfudo

**Hakumenfudo** (白面不動, *Hakumen Fudō*) was one of the demons that made a contract with Kagemitsu Daigo. In the 2019 anime, this is not the case as it does not return any body parts to Hyakkimaru and there is no footage of any statue from the Hall of Hell's being broken after its defeat. Nevertheless, its role in the story largely remains the same.

In the original, Hyakkimaru decapitates its head after avoiding its slash with the help of Dororo. In the 2019 anime, it destroys itself when it accidentally smashes its own face in a desperate attempt to kill Hyakkimaru who just stabbed its face.

## Appearance

Hakumenfudo takes the form of the statue of Acala.
Kyubi

**Kyubi** (九尾, *Kyūbi*) was one of the twelve demons that made a contract with Kagemitsu Daigo.

After Nui No Kata stabbed herself, Kyubi was destroyed and the Banmon wall collapsed.

## Appearance

Kyubi takes the from of a fox spirit that's engulfed with a blue-ish flame.

救いなどない 生まれ堕ちてきた

歪な心の形に 勇ましい鼓動の叫び

振り向きはしない 修羅の道だって

枯れゆく季節など超えて 確かな真実を探した

醜い姿に

その痛みさえも気づけないまま僕達は

この皮も剥がしてしまったの

ああいつだって 愚かさに苛まれているの

でもさ辛くなって 終わらない夜ならば

きっと疑わぬ貴方 呪われた世界を愛せるから

全てを背負った今

憂いを纏い 闇に堕ちてきた

淀みない言の葉さえも　塞ぎこんでしまうなら

産声などない　吐き出すことだって

いくつもの刃携えて　心に鬼を宿した

浅ましい声に

この世界からはじき出されてく僕達は

それでも明日を願ったの

ああ君だって 寂しさと哀を抱いて眠るの

でもさ触れたくなって　愛しいほどの涙

きっと月が陰れば この夜の淵まで愛せるから

その炎はまだ揺らめく

汚れてしまわないように

消えて無くならないように

見えないものだって抱きしめたいから

あの日の僕に間違いなどない 救いの声を

失うばかりの　血の滲むような物語も

闇夜に染まれど　それでも歩みを止めることはない

もう貴方は独りじゃないから

ああいつだって 愚かさに苛まれているの

でもさ辛くなって 終わらない夜ならば

きっと疑わぬ貴方 呪われた世界を　愛せるから

全てを背負った今

取り戻すの

Nota

**Nota** (ノタ, *Nota*) is a puppy and tritagonist alongside Hyakkimaru and Dororo, which accompanies them in their journey in the 1969 anime series Dororo to Hyakkimaru. In the 2019 anime adaptation, Nota was made into a minor character instead and made a brief cameo appearance in the first episode.

## Appearance

Nota is a small pup with white fur and black patches on its right eye and ear, as well as its back. Its appearance has remained the same in both anime adaptations, but the 1969 show has Nota wearing a small hat with its straps tied to its chin.

## Personality

Like most dogs, Nota is a stalwart and loyal pup who is protective of companions whom it shares a close bond with, such as Hyakkimaru and Dororo. When one of its companions is trapped or in danger, Nota will run off and search for the other companion, barking relentlessly to get their attention and let them know about the situation.

Being a dog, Nota is able to sense evil spirits or malicious intent within people. However, its only signs of warning people are through barking, which many (including Dororo) interpret to be Nota just being noisy and playful. Due to the communication barriers, its warnings are waved off at times. Yet, even if its companions pay no heed to its warnings, it holds no grudge against them.

Nota is also a lionhearted canine, willing to risk its life and protect its companions from any form of danger. It will not hesitate to fight against enemies far bigger in size or acting as a decoy to distract enemies so that its companions can seize the chance to escape or attack.
Hyogo

**Hyogo** (兵庫, *Hyōgo*) was one of the swordsmen in service of Tahomaru. He, Mutsu, and Tahomaru had given themselves up of being humans and became demons. He was also the younger brother of Mutsu. He was killed by Midoro after his head got bitten off.

## Appearance

He is a tall and muscular man. He has short black hair with long sideburns that point upwards at the the tip.

As an adult for upperwear he wears a black long suikan over a dark teal kimono and a white nagajuban. On the bottom he wears a grey bakama with black suneate or shin guards and black tabi with regular zori. His suikan bears a single Daigo family crest and he wears the same eboshi hat as his elder sister

After replacing his lost left arm with Hyakkimaru's stolen arm, the left sleeves of his outfit are ripped off to show his muscular arm with a sudden taper to hyakkimaru's sickly grey arm

## Personality

Hyogo is a very brave man. Where he is willing to sacrifice himself to save people, during battling with the crab demon Bakemonogani. Like his elder sister, he is very loyal to Tahomaru and despises using helpless people as hostages which he considered cowardice and not the way of a true warrior as Kagemitsu ordered his men to capture Dororo even though being with Hyakkimaru.

## History

During the warring state, he and his elder sister were imprisoned by enemy forces. Until Kagemitsu Daigo rescued them and was impressed by their skills. He took them to his house and introduced them to Tahomaru, training and educating day by day, slowly become his son trusted loyal servants. He lost left arm by Hyakkimaru's newly strong blades. In the final battle, Hyogo got his head bitten off by Midoro, killing him instantly.
