Untitled[edit]

The movie was set to premiere at the Jerusalem Film Festival but was pulled out at the last minute. Delete that line. יונתן דורון (talk) 17:40, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Minor paragraphs deatiling[edit]

some of the paragraphs need detailing, as most of them start without capital letters. Please, do correct them — Preceding unsigned comment added by Drumerwritter (talk • contribs) 06:56, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The article should explain the "two strings" in the film's title.[edit]

What does the "two strings" in the film's title refer to?

Does it refer to the shamisen which means three strings?

Or to the idiom "two strings to one's bow"?

Or to his two companions on his journey?

Let us say that the shamisen has only got one string at one point and 'two strings' more are acquired in the very last moves of the film; explaining it outright in the lead would seem churlish, even though we don't suppress spoilers; if it goes anywhere it should go near the end of the plot section. ZarhanFastfire (talk) 04:54, 8 September 2016(UTC) Ah silly me, it's been done already. ZarhanFastfire (talk) 04:56, 8 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

mid-credits scene[edit]

should the mid-credits scene (with the construction of the giant skeleton) be mentioned? Visokor (talk) 14:41, 10 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Character names[edit]

Where do the character names of the Moon King and his daughters come from? They're not in the end credits of the film, and they aren't mentioned in dialogue during the movie. Can sources please be added for the names Raiden, Sariatu, Karasu, and Washi? -- Supermorff (talk) 18:41, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've been wondering the same thing. Now, what I know about Japanese mythology would comfortably fit in the margin of a postage stamp, but from what I understand Raiden is another name for Raijin. That Wikipedia article identifies him as the "god of lightning, thunder and storms", which seems like a poor fit for a "Moon King". The moon god (goddess?) would be Tsukiyomi, though I don't know if that one fits either... 213.65.60.100 (talk) 07:02, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Moon Reversed[edit]

While Kubo is in the Far Lands, the moon is reversed, even to the extent it is the right way round when reflected in water. It is normal when he returns to the village. Is their an explanation - does it relate to the Tarot? Stub Mandrel (talk) 13:13, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
