Line 20:
* The Gashadokuro. It's a gigantic skeleton with fiery eyes that roars, even almost eating both Monkey and Beetle! The credit sequence even shows just how massive the puppet was animated, with it lunging at one of the animators!
** It's introduction counts: Beetle pulls a sword from the skeletal hand shape pedestal, the latter rises up into the utter darkness. What follows next are numerous giant bones that are littered all over the area, also rising up into the abyss. Following by two giant glowing eyes lighting up, and revealing Gashadokuro's nightmare face.
** It's a [[Fridge Horror]] when you know a thing about [[Japanese Mythology]], because it's [[Skeletons in the Coat Closet]] that's made out of human-sized bones and the fact that Gashadokuro was made from humans, who died from war and starvation. If it catches someone, it bites their head off, and the only warning of this yokai's arrival is the annoying ringing in one's ears. The only defense is to run away.
** This makes it more terrifying since at first, the film seems to prepare a [[Jump Scare]], complete with the hand possibly holding onto Beetle after he pulls out the sword. But it does a [[Bait and Switch]], the skeletal hand descends into darkness, and something ''much worse'' comes back.
* The {{spoiler|Hanzo's fortress}} fight, when the lower part of Washi's mask broke. Revealing that her skin was equally white as her mask and just as her mouth contorts in such fury. This even drives into [[Uncanny Valley]].
