Dororo to Hyakkimaru - episode 13 - 28 Jun, 1969

Hakumen Fudō tries to take Dororo to the Fudō Myo shrine but Dororo refuses. She carries Dororo to the shrine, but she has become attached and cannot bear to sacrifice Dororo to her master. The demon Lord Fudō creates a storm to destroy them both and Hakumen Fudō pleads for Dororo to leave, but does not. She sacrifices herself to save Dororo but the mountain dogs then attack Dororo. Meanwhile Nota has drifted downriver and is found by Hyakkimaru and Zatō. Nota leads them to the Fudō Myo shrine just in time for Hyakkimaru and Zatō save Dororo and destroy the dogs. Hyakkimaru severs the statue’s head but finds it is just a mould-covered rock. As they leave Dororo floats an offering downstream for Hakumen Fudō. (Source: Wikipedia)
