--> '''Kubo:''' The End.

!!Meta
* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Pretty much any time Kubo plays his Shamisen. The ending credits start with a particularly epic [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KoujdXqptnc cover]] of Music/TheBeatles' "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" played on shamisen.
** The entire soundtrack could count, taking traditional sweeping, epic animation soundtracks and adding lots of shamisen and other elements of traditional Japanese music, and it is ''gorgeous''.
* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome are all over this movie, and the kicker? ''Most of it is just stop-motion''. Not CGI, except for scenes involving flowing water.
** Several people on Imgur [[http://imgur.com/gallery/JbSUXfR commented]] didn't realize it wasn't CGI made to look like stop-motion ''until the credits.''
* During the credits, we see the crew working on the giant skeleton demon, revealing the puppet's massive size--it's more than twice the size of a human. This little behind-the-scenes tidbit ends on an even more awesome [[NightmareFuel and terrifying]] note when we discover that the puppet--at least in the shot being demonstrated--isn't even stop-motion, but ''actually moves''.

** As if that's not awesome enough, bear in mind Beetle is also Kubo's father. Every good father is a [[ActionDad hero]], but Hanzo gets to fly like a superhero!

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


* When demonstrating his usefulness to Kubo and Monkey, Beetle fires an arrow into a wall. Monkey doesn't think this is anything special. ...Until he takes out four more arrows and [[UpToEleven fires them into the same spot in the wall in complete succession]]. Monkey only has one word to describe it.

* Monkey dueling the final sister in the first half of the battle, while in the second half of the battle, [[PapaWolf Beetle/Hanzo]] puts her out of commission with a sword toss, if only long enough to converse with his family on borrowed time!

Added DiffLines:

* The imagery of the Breastplate Impenetrable shrinking down to Kubo's size, as though recognizing him as Hanzo's son.

* During a conversation with his mother, when Kubo brings up the Moon King, she firmly reminds him to address him as "[his] grandfather". In a lesser story, she would've kept his relationship to the Moon King hidden until it [[LukeIAmYourFather came to a head]]. But instead, we get a different story where Kubo's Mother was actually ''wise enough'' to tell Kubo the truth about his grandfather from an early age, rather than allow it to fester into a big secret later down the line.
