Dororo to Hyakkimaru - episode 15 - 12 Jul, 1969

Dororo and Hyakkimaru meet a physically strong samurai called Gorobei Tawara who joins them on their travels. They enter a deserted village where Hyakkimaru detects the presence of a demon. Weird things begin to happen; blood drips from the ceiling, furniture moves, houses collapse, and cats and crows attack them. Gorobei claims that he does not believe in monsters and demons, but Hyakkimaru tracks the source to a silver vine tree and a skeletal demon appears. They defeat the demon and Hyakkimaru recovers his ears. Later, Gorobei goes his own way, now firmly believing in demons. (Source: Wikipedia)
