Dual Perspectives
While the bulk of the story is told through the perspective of our protagonist, Caiman, Dorohedoro does a great job of telling more than just one side of the story via the En Family.
From idiots like Ebisu to the big bad himself, En, it isn’t long before the show lets us get to know the would-be antagonists, exploring their daily lives, even devoting full episodes to their exploits.
And even though they are definitely evil, killing more than their fair share of people throughout the show, the group has an odd wholesomeness to them.
Everyone in En’s family seems to care about each other, regardless of how low or high on the totem pole they are. As such, it isn’t long before they are just as important and likable as the main cast of characters that Dorohedoro tells its story through.
