Could someone give a spoiler-free yes/no answer to the question of whether it's ever explained why Nikaido is so strong. Shin, Noi and Caiman are all somewhere between huge and HUGE so it's not surprising when they smash people's heads through walls, but Nikaido did it to Caiman even though she's average sized.

Sort of. Extremely minor spoiler I wouldn't worry about reading: IIRC it's just that she learned martial arts as a child.

Also, she's pretty beefy in her own right, just not in comparison to mobile refrigerators like Noi.

I think you just have to accept that there is inhuman strength on display because most characters are decidedly not human.

I'm all caught up! I'm happy this show had its big dramatic moment with the two besties being forced to fight because of brainwashing and didn't linger on it for a second longer than it had to. It's amazing that this show about callous sociopaths with no regard for the inherent value of human life comes off more as a lighthearted character-driven comedy than anything. Now to hope for a second season.

yeah you'd expect "main heroine was forcibly married and brainwashed to the antagonist" to be something that'd be milked for all the drama you could get out of it but dorohedoro just doesn't have time for that

It's a show that goes from turbo grim to light hearted and back for more grimness at a moment's notice.

You've got guts! Come to my village, I'll buy you lunch.
dorohedoro is one of the few shows/comics about characters who live in crushing poverty and misery that actually gets the vibe right. not being constantly, performatively depressed and grim about how much poo poo sucks is a big part of that.

for instance: Caiman not realizing he can just quit his job and it'll be fine even though it's necessary to save his best friend's life

There is a Dorohedoro omake out now. It features a very important character.

PV for the 6 OVAs, unfortunately they're being done in very limited 2D animation versus the 3DCG the normal show is made in. Still, these look amusing.

CGWorld Japan has a 3 page article on Dorohedoro. It’s all in Japanese, but google translate does a reasonable job at it. Also has pictures of wireframes and such.

Caiman's a little deeper than I'd expect, but I think it sounds good all around. I'll need to hear Caiman being dorky to render full judgement.

Very hyped to rewatch this and slap a whole lot of people who don't like subs over the head too.

Wataru Takagi's version is a perfect "Lovable but prone to violence dumb guy." l Not sure if I am into the "Suave anime badass" version of the character.

We probably still haven't heard him at his zaniest. I mean, this is the same guy who also voices Zenitsu in Demon Slayer.

Dub is pretty fun so far. Hopefully caiman can pull off the full wacky stuff a bit down the track, but really liking the cast so far.

There was a little bit of it when he was freaking out about Matsumura's door.

What the gently caress did I just watch? I'm not quite sure but I loved it. The dub was adequate and fell flat for me in places. Going to rewatch it with subs and see how that feels.

if you loved it dive into the manga because there's lots more to see.

Netflix views make it more likely the creators will get picked up for a second season, watch this again and again IMO.

Rewatching it with subs and I'm enjoying it even more. I believe I figured out why I disliked the dub, it's not that the performances were bad, it's that I had the subs turned on and the dialogue was very different in many places. In most cases, I liked what I read more than what I heard. I'm excited to dive into the manga, I checked out the art and it's really great.

I ate a lot of pan fried gyoza the day after I watched the first half.
