Roughly speaking, the sword is the main body.
When the number of Mononoke increases, the medicine seller comes out from the sword and becomes active.
As there are more Mononoke in the world, their number increases, reaching a maximum of 64.
As there are a maximum of 64 people, there are also 64 swords.
Among these, there are eight particularly powerful swords.
In the original animation, the medicine seller uses a fire sword called ‘Lee’ among these eight.
The medicine seller in the movie uses an earthly sword called ‘Gon’.
The medicine seller in the original animation has the attribute of ‘sheep’, so his facial tattoos are red.
The medicine seller in the movie had red and blue tattoos on his face because he had the attribute of ‘yin’.
Since the original and the movie version are not the same person, their personalities are also different.
I had a lot of questions while watching anime a long time ago.
It’s fun to see news after a long time.
