Yokai Monsters: Along with Ghosts

The film follows a traditional quest story focused on a young protagonist and supernatural beings. There are no non-traditional gender identities or critiques of the assumption that everyone is straight or cisgender.

The story centers around a young male protagonist who navigates a world of spirits. Although a young girl appears, the film does not challenge traditional gender hierarchies or give women roles of greater strength.

Set in feudal Japan, the film features a cast that is predominantly Japanese. The yokai are portrayed as mythical 'others' rather than tools for modern characters who reflect more than one aspect of diversity or casting actors from different backgrounds.

The narrative is deeply rooted in Shinto and Buddhist traditions. It uses sacred places and spirits as key elements of the plot, aligning with traditional folklore rather than moral relativism.

The characters seem to have standard physical abilities needed for a fantasy adventure. There is no indication of how visible or invisible disabilities are portrayed.
