The samurai sets the remains adrift along a river, where the still-living child is discovered by a kindly doctor.

After raising the child, the doctor operates on him, replacing his missing parts with mechanical ones.

Knowing the child's destiny, the doctor replaces his missing arms with sword arms, attaches a repeating rifle to one arm, and a cannon to one leg.

The game begins with the now-adult Hyakkimaru beginning his quest to reclaim his body parts from the Fiends.

Soon joined by the child-thief Dororo, the pair embark on a quest against ancient Japanese demons and the monsters they create.

Blood Will Tell is an action game where the player controls Hyakkimaru, a man whose body parts were stolen by demons when he was a child.

His destiny is to reclaim each of his body parts, which allow him to increase his stats such as HP and power, as well as optional special functions (for example, the eye displays the game in colour, while the vocal chords allow him to speak).

Hyakkimaru wields a sword, which can be used to attack enemies - he can also swap for his two smaller swords concealed within his arms.

As he uses the swords, they level up and increase in power.

Hyakkimaru can also charge up a sword attack, and if released at the correct time, is given the opportunity to enter a series of button presses for combos.

If the enemy is killed during this combo, the player can perform a finishing move with the Triangle button which can yield bonus items ranging from health items to swords.

Hyakkimaru is also outfitted with a repeating rifle and a cannon in his leg.

While these are very powerful, they both require their own ammo and cannot be used without it.

The gun can be fired rapidly at foes, while the cannon must be charged and aimed for a powerful shot.

Both of these weapons have the advantage of bei

About PlayStation 2

The PlayStation 2 (2000) is the best-selling game console in history, with a library exceeding 9,000 titles that spans everything from budget shovelware to genre-defining classics. That massive volume means PS2 collecting is accessible and affordable overall, but a handful of low-print-run RPGs and cult titles have become genuinely expensive — a common pattern once a console's original audience grows up with disposable income.

Gamevaro tracks Blood Will Tell: Tezuka Osamu's Dororo for PlayStation 2 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Adding Blood Will Tell: Tezuka Osamu's Dororo to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS2 release dates back to 2004.

Rarity & condition

Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Blood Will Tell: Tezuka Osamu's Dororo, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common PlayStation 2 titles.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
