What is the statue Hyakkimaru prays to?


The statue actually is called guanyin goddess. The statue orginal have a head
but the goddess protected Hyakkimaru and it cost the statue head blast off.
Actually it was just a guess from a youtuber. I'm not sure the explanation is
correct but here is a link to the
[video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpnvoKhQ7T4). The explanation start at
4:07.

The statue that Hyakkimaru's mother prays to is Goddess of Mercy. The Goddess
of Mercy statue had a head before Hyakkimaru was born.

**"The Goddess of Mercy statue sacrificed its own head at Hyakkimaru's birth
so the child would not lose his head in his father's bargain with the
demons."** , (Reference - Notes,
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dororo_(2019_TV_series))
