Spirited Away, a Japanese animated film, features characters and a setting rooted in Japanese culture and folklore. Its casting naturally reflects this cultural context without engaging in explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally Western roles. The narrative focuses on a young girl's journey through a spirit world, exploring themes of identity and environmentalism, rather than critiquing traditional identities or explicitly centering DEI themes.
Spirited Away does not include any explicit or implicit LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative centers on a young girl's journey of self-discovery and her relationships with various spirits, none of which are presented through an LGBTQ+ lens, resulting in no discernible impact on such portrayals.
The film features several prominent female characters, including Chihiro, Yubaba, and Zeniba. However, none of these characters engage in or are depicted as victorious in direct physical combat against one or more male opponents using skill, strength, or martial arts. Their challenges and powers are primarily magical or involve navigating social and emotional landscapes.
