Blood Will Tell: Tezuka Osamu's Dororo is an action-adventure game developed by Red Entertainment for the PlayStation 2, released in 2004. Based on Osamu Tezuka's classic manga series Dororo, the game follows Hyakkimaru, a warrior whose body parts were claimed by forty-eight demons before birth, leaving him dependent on prosthetic replacements. Driven by the possibility of reclaiming his flesh, Hyakkimaru travels alongside Dororo, a young thief, to hunt down and destroy all forty-eight fiends responsible for his condition. The premise ties progression directly to combat, as defeating each demon corresponds to recovering a piece of Hyakkimaru's missing anatomy. The game adapts the manga's dark feudal Japanese setting and its central premise of bodily restoration through supernatural conflict, translating Tezuka's original story into an interactive format centered on combat and exploration across the game's world.
It focuses on a hero named Hyakkimaru , who has had much of his body stolen by forty-eight fiends and has prosthetic replacements. Along with his ally, the thief Dororo, Hyakkimaru must defeat all forty-eight fiends.
