** This quote from the English dub encapsulates Chihiro's new outlook on life:
--> ''[As the family drives away]''
-->'''Dad:''' A new home and a new school. It can be a bit scary.
-->'''Chihiro:''' I think I can handle it.

*** Even more when you realize that the River Spirit was said to be a very important one; and that he had been suffering from a bad amount of Human trash gumming up his body, and that it was the recently-hired Human that led the charge in removing that trash from the River Spirit. [[RestoredMyFaithInHumanity Safe to say that the Spirits opinions of Humans in-general had been changed that evening.]]

** Chihiro's entire reaction -- or lack thereof -- to Haku in this state is simply amazing. It really speaks to her badassery. She saw her crush and rescuer turn into a roaring, thrashing, bleeding terror of an animal ''and completely ignored it'' to do what needed to be done... namely, opening up his '''horrifyingly''' deadly-looking jaws, gingerly inserting her whole arm ''past his giant fangs'' and into his throat to administer life-saving medicine, and then holding on to his jaws for dear life as he starts convulsing and destroying the room around her, all whilst maintaining a fearless, determined expression on her face. '''Holy shit.'''

** It also shows how, despite her horrible attitude, Yubaba is still a ReasonableAuthorityFigure; when Sen says the stink spirit has a thorn embedded, she immediately calls for the other workers to help the girl get the "thorn" out. And together they remove a HUGE amount of trash!

** It's also worth noting that once the River Spirit was gone, literally ''everyone'' who was in the bath house that night ''cheered'' at Chihiro's heroism.

* Normally, you wouldn't bet on a kid like this as a protagonist. She's clumsy as hell, a little slow on the uptake and is not exactly fearless. If you give her half a chance, you'll see she can do ''anything''. A couple of days working on the bathouse and she's practically the one calling the shots! The employees who loathed her at first are completely on her side by the end of the movie, she gains all of her friends through charisma and good will, she saves and frees Haku and faces the unknown for love. When Yubaba dismisses her after acing her final trial, Chihiro politely bows to her former boss while Yubaba huffs. Look at Chihiro's face of determination as she rides the train: ''this'' is our esteemed protagonist.

* Chihiro just had her parents turned into pigs, ran down a dizzying flight of stairs while screaming due to her fear of heights, and was escorted to the top of the bathhouse realizing just how completely out of her depth and element she is, only to confront Yubaba and having to ask for a job. Which she does. Repeatedly and ever louder as the noise makes Boh throw a tantrum correctly deciding that Yubaba will agree just to shut her up. Keep in mind Yubaba zipped her lips shut with a spell after asking for the first time, badmouthed her parents, mused about turning Chihiro into either a piglet or a lump of coal, then got literally up in her face and, sharp nails around Chihiro's neck, said she might just have her do the hardest most menial jobs to her dying breath since she is so insistent on working. And it's not like Chihiro is immune to all this either, she's visibly trembling and gulping but she still holds on and doesn't give up Haku, Kamaji, or Lin either when Yubaba asks who it was that helped her get this far so she could "reward" them.

* If you watch the sub, Haku pretty much traded his ''life'' for Chihiro's freedom. If Chihiro hadn't worked out his name, Yubaba would have ''torn him to pieces''. That amount of love is pretty amazing.
