=== Moon King/Raiden ===
[[File:The-Moon-King.png|thumb|200px|framed|right|Caption]]
Voiced By: [[Ralph Fiennes]]
 
A description of the character goes here.
Raiden, the Moon King, presides over his lunar kingdom and wants to be a family again.
{{examples|Tropes exhibited by thisThe characterMoon King include:}}
* [[The Ageless]]
* [[Brought Down to Normal]]
* [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]
* [[Icy Blue Eyes]]
* [[Laser -Guided Amnesia]]: In his own words, "lost his story" {{spoiler|after being defeated by Kubo and the Sun Villagers. The latter convinced Raiden that he's model citizen #1.}}
* [[Faux Affably Evil]]: When he first speaks with Kubo, Raiden acts like the granddad Kubo never had. But their second conversation, well, his veneer keeps slipping which shows his inner selfishness and cruelty. At the climax {{spoiler|he drops everything and while fighting tortures Kubo.}}
* [[Mismatched Eyes]]: {{spoiler| This occurs after Raiden's bought down to normal. One eye is brown and the other is icy, blue-ish grey.}}
Line 139 ⟶ 144:

* [[Power Glows]]: Comes with being a Divine Ruler of the Heavens and Night.
Line 144 ⟶ 150:
* [[Sadly Mythtaken]]: The Moon King's name is "Radien" officially. Though in [[Japanese Mythology]], Raiden is the god of lightning and storms, who is carefree. Though the Moon King seems to be closer to Tsukuyomi, who's the actual god of the Moon; even the characterization is closer, as a [[Jerkass God| arrogrant douchebag]].
* [[Won't Work On Me]]: Kubo just holds the Sword Unbreakable out at the Moon King, {{spoiler|who proceeds to walk into it without getting injured or slowed down. Even pushing the sword and Kubo's whole body.}}
* [[Would Hurt a Child]]: He ripped out his own grandson's eye when said kid was a baby. To top it all off, he wants to take Kubo's remaining eye, so {{spoiler|they'll be together in the Heavens as immortal and as a family}}.

=== The Sisters/Kubo's Aunts ===

The Twins are Kubo's aunts and are hunting him down.
{{examples|Tropes exhibited by thisthe characterSisters/Kubo's Aunts include:}}
* [[Action Girl|Action girls]]
* [[Always Identical Twins]]: Insanely so.
Line 162 ⟶ 169:
* [[Daddy's Little Villain]]: Their relationship with the Moon King is this.
* [[Dual-Wielding]]: Washi does this.
* [[Et Tu, Brute?]]: Both twins are hurt by Satiaru leaving and see her living with mortals (Even marrying one) as this.
* [[Evil AuntUncle|Evil Aunts]]: Kubo is their nephew yet they're hunting him down on their own father's behalf, just for [[Eye Scream]] reasons.
* [[The Evil Princess]]: The Twins are this, since they're the Moon King's daughters, and very evil.
* [[The Faceless]]: Though we don't see what WAshi and Karasu look like unmasked, only the lower half of one of them {{spoiler|after Kubo}} destroys it. Considering their appearances ''with'' the masks on, we probably don't want to see.
* [[Flight]]: The twins have this ability.
* [[Good Smoking, Evil Smoking]]: Washi uses a magic pipe that has a fire demon which creates moving miasma that obeys her will. As long as her pipe is intact.
* [[The Heavy]]: The Sisters do the legwork of hero hunting. {{spoiler|The Moon King didn't confront Kubo, until both of Kubo's parents are dead.}}
* [[Hero -Killer]]: Both are incredibly powerful and gives Kubo, Monkey, and Beetle a run for their money. Together the Twins can take on their sister and destroy a whole village, even separately they can still pose a challenge. Monkey barely succeeds in killing Karasu, ending up gravely injured while doing so. {{spoiler|Near the end, Washi manages to kill both Beetle and Monkey on her own.}}
* [[Immortal Assassin]]
* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: Karasu uses this in spades.

* [[White Mask of Doom]]: Both wear Porcelain Noh masks.
* [[Would Hurt A Child]]: Considering that they stole one of Kubo's eyes when he was a baby, they don't mind doing more bodily harm on him.
