Totoro is the God of Death!
Have you ever
watched My Neighbor Totoro ? My Neighbor Totoro (Tonari
no Totoro) is one of the most favorite family anime movies, from kids to
adults, all of whom love the story of two sister girls in a beautiful Japanese
countryside with its magical creatures. But according to some, there is a
darkness that peeks behind all that cheerfulness. They say, Totoro is not
a funny creature. He is the God of Death. Not a few believed that
Totoro was the God of Death, so the people who could see Totoro were actually
people who were close to death, or indeed dead. In the film - spoiler
alert for those who have not watched!
- when May
disappears and his sandals are found in the pond, May have actually been
drowned and died. When Satsuki was asked about the slipper, he could not
tell the truth and he lied if the sandals did not belong to Mei. So,
Satsuki went to look for Totoro and as if he managed to open the door to the
realm of the dead. With the help of Totoro, Satsuki managed to find his
dead brother and finally went together to the hospital to meet their
mother. There, the only people who could see the girls were their own
mothers, who would soon die. And in the last scene, Satsuki and Mei have
no shadow at all!
This theory does not stop there. There is a famous murder case called the 'Incident Sayama' (My Neighbor Totoro movie takes place in Sayama) where two sister women died tragically. One was killed, the other committed suicide because of depression. The story goes that his sister saw the appearance of a black cat before the suicide (Totoro did look like a black cat / rabbit). So, is it true that Totoro was created to be the God of Death?
