![]() Many are paralleling the sisters from 1963 to Satsuki and Mei, if Totoro actually is a god of death. Her older sister, distraught after the death, committed suicide. ![]() What really gets fans going about this theory, though, is the apparent relation to the Sayama Incident of 1963, a criminal case about a 16-year old girl that was kidnapped, raped, and then killed. The father does not, but only the mother is sick, implying that she is close to death herself since only she is able to see the girls sitting up in the tree outside. When the two finally arrive at the hospital their mother is at, they don’t actually go inside to see her, merely looking in from afar, and when we zoom inside the room where the parents are talking, only Satsuki’s mother briefly notices the girls outside. ![]() Some believe the cat-bus to be something close to the ferryman in Greek mythology. When hopping onto the bus, some noticed the destination roster rolling along the cat-bus’s front and saw a peculiar destination called “grave road” flip by. Satsuki frantically tries to find Totoro in order to reunite with her sister, but in doing so she sacrifices her life to meet with Mei in the afterlife instead of hitching a ride across town. Her sister Satsuki eases their fears when she says that it isn’t hers, but what if it actually was? Theorists wonder whether Mei actually did drown in the river and her sister was in denial. The basics of this popular fan theory come from the climax where little Mei goes missing and the townspeople find what appears to be her shoe in the river. This would give chills more than it would warm me at night, but San might not even know. They killed one of Moro’s cubs, that’s what, whether specifically to hunt it or to protect themselves, and Moro gives the fur of that child to San when she adopts her, wholly embracing her into tthe clan with that hide. Fans wondered what it was that San’s parents were doing in the forest that would cause Moro to attack them, especially with a baby in tow. They run away and leave San with Moro who then takes her in. She says that San’s parents were defiling her forest and when Moro attacked them for doing so, they attempted to sacrifice San in their place. When speaking with Ashitaka, Moro the wolf god relates the story of how she adopted San. Really, there is only one animal that we see that has that color. This fan theory poses an interesting question: where did that cape come from? There aren’t that many animals in the animated forest who have that color fur. To better blend in with her tribe, Princess Mononoke’s San wears a large cape of white fur that cascades down almost to the ground.
