I'm usually not one for anime endings, I usually never watch them at all. Maybe once, but usually never again as they're just not usually as hype as the intro (How many times you gonna say usually?) Anyway, I've watched Dororo but never listened to the outro as the first few seconds never really grabbed me, but I came across this today and it had me in tears. The lyrics and the way this man sings it is so powerful and moving. I'll leave them below for those who don't care to listen to the music.

In the wind resides a melancholy, and from a shadow they gather as one
With every step, a new persuasion, the sound of silence had filled in the space
Taking in your stare, I lost all of my cool, I was afraid to look you in the eye
Did you have hope for our future, for us, now this road I’ll travel alone
I fake a smile and feign a laugh, because this path, is so dark and vast
If even all the lights lit up, you know I’ll be waiting still
Saying a goodbye is something I’m used to
But when it was you, through the waves I cried
Overwhelming grieving had taken over us
As it fades, dissipates, night had fallen into place
And even though tomorrow will be like any other day
Never have I felt that living on was okay
I know that it’ll be harder to fight than it’s to dream
But the future’s, a future, in which you had given me
Things to accomplish, all the words to be said, are only hanging in the crescent moon
As I begin to wander through the night, finding relief from just the sight of your back
Time is essential in order to trust, because as people all will come and go
But if the road turns out to be one and the same, then we shouldn’t ever split up our ways
When everything has met its end, and for the sake of sharing paths
Will someone ever stay behind, you know I’ll be waiting still
Saying a goodbye is something I’m used to
But when it was you, through the waves I cried
Overwhelming grieving had taken over us
As it fades, dissipates, night had fallen into place
And from the very moment if our love had existed then it
Would’ve been so simple and our steps would’ve matched
It could have been that fate had tried entangling us but
When it touched, our hearts touched, and then it never let me go
When it’s getting rough, I’ll be sheltering us
We can share the burden, you have taken enough
But it’s still your fate, one that I cannot change
Even if you wanted to be free of pain
Each time we part, it’s always the same
Never lacking tears it’s like the same old game
We pretend again that we were meant to part
Who will bid goodbye, what will mark the start?
“Someday we’ll meet again” I hear you say
What if to fool myself, I’d stayed in the game
(“Someday we’ll meet again” I hear you say)
Saying a goodbye is something I’m used to
But when it was you, through the waves I cried
Overwhelming lies, they had taken over us
As it drowns, all the sound, day has fallen into place
Even just the mention of leaving a part of me
One single second crossed my mind that I cannot
Your heart is set then I can only wish you all the luck
Can’t erase, it’s my fate, it’s the end you’ve given us
