* CompleteMonster: Episodes 8-9--''Nue'' arc: The Zue Mononoke is in truth a narcissistic [[{{Youkai}} Ayakashi]] possessing a rotten piece of wood known as the Toudaiji, and is the [[TokenEvilTeammate only of its kind completely lacking in sympathetic qualities or tragedy]]. Developing into a Mononoke from people's blind admiration of it, it drove two of Lady Ruri's original suitors to murder her and another suitor in obsession before killing the three suitors, and trapped them in a GroundhogDayLoop. Not content with this, it killed hundreds of others, before attempting to lure the Medicine Peddler himself, forcing him to brutally "kill" the suitors to free them. When snapped in half and burned, the graveyard of its victims is revealed to stretch dozens of yards around the house property.

The Nue did not kill the maid and little girl, it WAS the maid and the little girl. It's stated earlier in the arc that a Nue looks different depending on what angle you look at it from and the Medicine Seller repeats that point while referencing all three women.

* TrueArtIsIncomprehensible: Even if you ''really'' pay attention to what is going on, with all the cases of UnreliableNarrator and TomatoInTheMirror, and the scenery that, as often as not, is not what is actually there but is only shown for artistic or symbolic purposes; and all of the instances where [[YourMindMakesItReal things that characters think happened did not actually happen]], and an [[YearInsideHourOutside ambiguous amount]] of [[NarniaTime time]] actually passed outside of the mononoke's influence, it is at least a particularly heavy MindScrew.

* MagnificentBastard: [[UnscrupulousHero The Medicine]] [[SupportingProtagonist Peddler]] is a mysterious [[AmbiguouslyHuman humanoid entity]] that slays the eponymous “Mononoke”, spirits created from negative human emotions. Armed with a medicine cabinet containing talismans and scales, he keeps Mononoke at bay as he determines their “shape, reason and truth” through investigation, psychological analysis and interrogation before unsheathing his sword and slaying them. Strictly committed to killing them despite their capacity for emotions, he nevertheless will show compassion for many of them. Not above manipulating humans caught in the web of the Mononoke, The Medicine Peddler makes a young woman he believed to have killed her in-laws relive her trauma to reveal she had become a Mononoke as a result of constant abuse, [[BatmanGambit inflicts gruesome “deaths'' on long-dead spirits in an incense parlor game by exploiting their mental weaknesses]] to make them realize they were trapped in a GroundhogDayLoop by a Mononoke, and pressures passengers on a train, including a young boy, into revealing their linked connection in a Mononoke’s origin to escape from its PocketDimension despite knowing this would cause them to suffer a FateWorseThanDeath. Resourceful and [[LongHairedPrettyBoy charismatic]], the Medicine Seller is the greatest fear of the Mononoke, and forces accountability for [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters the people who created them through their cruelty.]]

* {{Anvilicious}}: The Zashiki-Warashi arc may not have been intended to be an [[spoiler: anti-abortion]] AuthorTract, but [[NightmareFuel it sure is effective]]! Although the conflict arose from the fact [[spoiler: that the abortions were done violently and without the mothers' consent]], the anime does present the Mononoke as [[spoiler: sentient fetuses wanting to be born. It's not clear whether the Mononoke arose from the aborted babies or the mothers]], but keep in mind that it was based on Feudal folktales, which tend to look down on [[spoiler: abortion]] or anything other than heteronormative family units.
