* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: He's shot through the chest while carrying San out of Iron Town and doesn't even flinch. It isn't until he's carried San to safety that he collapses on the brink of death, and San repays him by taking him to the Forest Spirit to be healed.

* LosingYourHead: Moro dies when the Forest Spirit takes her and Okkoto's lives--sparing them degeneating into demons like Nago did. However, when the Forest Spirit is slaim a blob of its essence lands on her corpse, which reanimates and detaches its head. Moro's severed head then scuttles across the ground and attempts to eat Eboshi, biting off one of her arms and landing in another blob of the Forest Spirit's corrupted essence, which engulf and seemingly consumes it.

* DirtyCoward: As implied by Toki, the first thing he does when faced with danger is flee and hide. Turns out to be subverted however, as when there is trouble he doesn't run away at all, as seen when he and Eboshi fight off Moro. Towards the end of the film, he even runs ''towards'' the danger in order to [[UndyingLoyalty save Eboshi.]]

* NoOneGetsLeftBehind: Averted. She may be AMotherToHerMen, but she is ruthless and results-oriented. When Moro and her cubs push a few men off a cliff, she decides to focus on the ones she can easily get home, rather than divide or slow her party down by looking for survivors.

* GenreSavvy: As he astutely notes when killing a god, its best to let someone else do the dirty work. True enough Lady Eboshi loses an arm.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: Miyazaki mentions she has this. It is never delved into in the film, but he did think up a backstory for her: she was a high-status woman who was kidnapped and sold to China, where she became the wife of the leader of the Wakou (Japanese pirates of the 13th to 16th century). She learnt how to use the ishibiya, killed her husband, and sailed back to Japan [[FireForgedFriends along with Gonza, who was one of the Wakou.]]



* CoDragons: With Toki. Gonza operates as Eboshi's 2nd in command most of the time and leads the bulk of her soldiers. Gonza tends to lead in the field whilst Toki leads the defense of Iron Town.

* CrossPoppingVeins: Sometimes gets these when angry.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Although never mentioned in the film, it is mentioned he was once a Wakou, a Japanese pirate, which is where he met Eboshi. It certainly makes for some interesting speculations on how that happened, and why they are the way they are.

* LoveAtFirstSight: Downplayed as she really does love her husband, Koroku. But upon seeing Ashitaka, she asks if she could see him without his mask, hoping that he'd be really handsome, and was not disappointed when she sees his face.

* HateSink: In a story full of GreyAndGreyMorality, [[AntiVillain Anti Villains]] and AffablyEvil [[PunchClockVillain Punch Clock Villains]], he sticks out like a sore thumb for being the only main antagonist with no redeeming quality shown. Although, it may be because he doesn't appear in person, thus not providing us with the opportunity to see his point of view, much like for Moro and Eboshi.

This, not just their riches, is another reason the town was targeted.[[/note]]
