Doron Dororon Revealed the Meaning of Its Title in the Darkest Way
Warning! Spoilers ahead for Doron Dororon chapter 8!
The meaning behind the title Doron Dororon was revealed in a very subtle way, and it is horrifying.

This meaning is reinforced when the mononoke later perishes.
Mangaka have been notorious for giving their series rather absurd names. But the best ones are those that appear completely random at first but actually aren't. For example, Shonen Jump's PPPPPP is actually named after a rare dynamic marking in music called pianissississississimo, which denotes an extremely soft style of playing. The title fits because the protagonist Lucky used to only play piano for his sick mother at the hospital, and because visitors can't be loud during visitation, Lucky had to play very quietly. And Doron Dororon mangaka Gen Oosuka is following suit with this tradition, just in a more random way.

The sound can also be heard as their supernatural energy fizzles out upon their death. The latest example of this transpires in chapter 8 with the emergence of a mononoke that is not only responsible for a cataclysmic event known as the Great Disaster, but that kills the hero Dora's mother.
