[[WMG: Kubo died at the end.]]
That's why he was with his parents.

* Jossed. Kubo is ''not'' sexist. He treats Monkey with "no respect" because she's the stern, bossy parent, and he treats Beetle with respect because he's the fun parent. If the roles were reversed, it would be the same. Besides, he ''did'' nudge Beetle during Monkey's story for interrupting. That doesn't sound like "utmost respect".

[[WMG: Kubo is about Alzheimer’s]]
*the line [[spoiler: “Memories are the greatest magic]] coupled with [[spoiler: monkey / Kubo’s mom saying her “magic was fading”]]
*Kubo’s mom being more active at night [[spoiler: was foreshadowing her being the moon king’s daughter]] can be seen as a reference to Sun downers.
*[[spoiler: maybe the whole movie is just in Kubo’s imagination and in reality his mom has an early form of Alzheimer’s and he is just learning to cope with the fact he is now in his grandfathers ward.]]

It's what everyone who hasn't watched the movie thinks anyway. It's one of the most frequently asked questions on google. Maybe the story of him retrieving the armor is symbolic of his transition from male to female.

[[WMG: Kubo is The Psychopath.]]
He wasn't even sad after finding out that his village was destroyed and his Mom got killed because of him.

[[WMG: Kubo is a Dirty Kid.]]
For what he did to Sariatu/Monkey.

[[WMG: Kubo is The Pollyanna.
But only at the end.

[[WMG: Kubo is sexist.]]
He treats Monkey with no respect, but when he meets an amnesiac beetle he treats him with utmost respect.

The old woman saying her husband was dead is MetaphoricallyTrue. In reality, she is his grandmother, and Saritu, Washi, and Karasu's mother, who once in love with Raiden before he ascended to godhood. He was once everything the townsfolk described was true before that, but as a god, he grew embittered once he saw humanity's greatest sins, and eventual forgot he was human in the first place.

Rather, it was chosen as the Sword Unbreakable's guardian because of how durable it was. A Gashadokuro is a type of {{Youkai}}, and in JapaneseMythology, there's no real way of fighting one. You ''might'' be able to ward it off long enough to escape or for the sun to rise, but you can't ever actually beat it or kill it. Most of the time, all you can do is run. This would make it ideal as a guardian entity, especially since the only way for a Gashadokuro to "die" is for the spirits that make it to let go of the [[ThePowerOfHate grudge that makes it so dangerous in the first place]], which can take hundreds or even thousands of years.

[[WMG:The Villagers didn't really know Kubo was magic.]]
In the least, they thought his shamisen magic was just [[WeirdnessCensor magic tricks]] coupled with story-telling. And they only learned Kubo was truly magic during [[spoiler: the climatic battle]]. Yet, even after learning of Kubo's powers, the villagers (especially Kameyo) stood by him as a wordless testament that they still loved him.
