Face-Bites & Gore-za

** Dorohedoro **JoAngel and Sal dive headfirst into the grime-covered, magic-soaked streets of "The Hole" to dissect the chaotic premiere episode of Dorohedoro. The duo breaks down the unforgettable introduction of Caiman—a muscular, amnesiac protagonist with a lizard head—and his fiercely loyal, gyoza-cooking best friend, Nikaido. Why does the main character Caiman have a lizard head? Who is the tiny man living inside his throat? And most importantly, why does Nikaido’s gyoza look so unbelievably delicious? We look at the narrative structure, debate the animation choices, and mostly just crack up about the sheer absurdity of it all.So hit those like/subscribe/share buttons, turn on those notifications & drop a comment letting us know if this is one of the most CRAZY opening scenes you've ever seen!
