Mystery Driving the Plot
It is human nature to be curious about something mysterious. So when Dorohedoro presents you with the mystery of “The Man in Caiman’s mouth” just a few seconds into the first episode, there is no doubt that you’re at least asking questions and wondering what’s going on.
It’s those questions and that mystery that drive the plot forward in Dorohedoro. While there is plenty of stuff happening around the main story, everything comes back to the Man in Caiman’s mouth and the mysterious alley that Nikaidō found him in.
Who exactly is Caiman? Why doesn’t magic work on him? Is there a reason gyoza is so delicious?
While we don’t have a definitive answer as to what exactly is going on with Caiman’s backstory, what’s been shown so far is more than enough to keep me hooked.
