The film explores the universal themes of tyranny, the moral cost of power, and an individual's quest for justice against overwhelming odds. While it critiques the abuse of power by a ruler, its focus on a personal journey for restoration rather than a specific political solution keeps its overall message neutral.
The film features a cast authentic to its Japanese setting and source material, without engaging in explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative explores themes of adventure and the human condition in feudal Japan, without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or centering DEI themes.
The film portrays Buddhist-aligned spiritual figures, such as the monk who raises Hyakkimaru, as wise, compassionate, and instrumental in combating the film's demonic evil. Spiritual practices and guidance are depicted as effective and virtuous in a world plagued by suffering.
The film "Dororo" does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative centers on a fantasy adventure and the protagonist's quest, without incorporating elements related to queer identity or experiences.
The film features Dororo, a young female thief, who is agile and uses knives, but her combat encounters are primarily against demons or in support of Hyakkimaru. While other female characters are present, none are depicted in clear, direct physical combat scenes where they individually defeat one or more male opponents through skill or strength.
The character Dororo is canonically female in the source material, despite often presenting as male for disguise. The 2007 film portrays Dororo as female, which aligns with the character's established canonical gender. This does not constitute a gender swap.
The 2007 film "Dororo" adapts the manga by Osamu Tezuka, set in feudal Japan. All major characters, including Hyakkimaru and Dororo, are portrayed by Japanese actors, consistent with their established race in the source material. No characters canonically established as one race were depicted as a different race.
