question
wasurenagumo
What happened at the end of Wasurenagumo?


The shopkeeper said it was over if he got caught in the web, which happened.
You could see the blue glare under the guy's eyes, which means he wasn't
himself anymore. He snapped out of it before because the girl got hurt, but
after he got caught in the web again he was being controlled(?) again.So maybe
the spider-girl is now manipulating Suzuri and he's thinking she is Mizuki

Yes, Suzuri was caught by the web after Mizuki fell into the lake. My guess is
that she was eaten or whatever by the spider-mum and the girl who was with
Suzuri was the spider-girl. Because, if you did notice, at the scene where she
let Mizuki fall from the web, the spider-girl looked more mature and grown up.
So she probably cut her hair to look like Mizuki afterwards but I doubt that
the girl with Suzuri at the ending was Mizuki.

Judging by the monster-wife the older shopkeeper seemed to have at the end,
the story was more of a "Selkie" story.

The Spider-mom would attack the village if not given a sacrifice, until the
monk sealed her in the lake.

The Spider-girl would take control of people using her webs, and force them to
walk into the lake to feed her mom.

It seems that Suzuri was originally going to be sacrificed, but the Spider-
girl had A: Fallen for him, or B: wanted to repay his kindness and thus fed
Mizuki to the Spider-mom and took her role as Suzuri's companion in Mizuki's
form.

Lots of legends, both Japanese and European tell of women that were originally
spirits, animals, or both, that can take on human form to be the wife of a
human, such as Selkies or the Legend of the Swan. Usually the myths end with
the spirit wanting to return home, either leaving the husband or in some
versions taking him with them.

As aficionados of old books, legends and myths, the two book-sellers would be
familiar with these legends, as hinted at with the older man's "Wife" seen in
the last few shots.

Whether there was any romantic reasons for the Spider-girl staying with Suzuri
doesn't matter; most likely, she was using him to eventually find more food
for her trapped mother. It's mostly left up to the viewer what the Spider-
Girl's intentions were and why she is staying with Suzuri in Mizuki's form.

All the answers before this are pretty spot on. "Don't fall in the web". Both
Suzuri and Geppou were "ensnared"/infatuated in some way by monster people;
Suzuri by the Spider girl and Geppou by an unknown one (slime/mist?)

well I don't think so, cause the spider girl is more likely a youkai which
means some spirit ghost creature. I believe the girl at the end is Mizuki
transformed or possessed by the spider girl. Just the last frames make me
believe its likely so, its starts as Mizuki grow longer hair changes hair
colour and so on.

I think Mizuki and spider-girl changed places spider-mon didn't seen mad, and
gently go back to the lake after Mizuki's Fall .
