Straw cape goes anywhere it wants to. Summoning: You can request me to wear this costume if you....dress up as Yakkuru, or you make a really cute San that can pass Wayne's "San test" Story: When I first saw this movie I caught the tail end, cos my friend was watching it and I had just welcomed myself in the room. And I was like what the hell is this big black blob doing falling down and then all these woodland critters are coming back to life. But I was recommended to watch it the whole way through. I didn't like Ashitaka with the long hair and he loses that little tuft of hair early on so I was okay with that. And he gets a kewl riding deer who is extremely loyal to him. Try finding one of those in real life. Sure it sucks that the Tataragami burned his right arm but hey, that gets cured at the end. So what if San gives him that scar over the his left eye? Just San's sign of affection. :P But the cool thing about him is that he's a cool collected fighting machine. Fwips out those arrows like nothing. Catches arrows in his hands and sends them back. And when he sends them back, heads roll! Woo hoo! Stupid samurai. *fwip* Not only that, but I've seen alot of cute Japanese girls cosplaying San, but not alot of anyone cosplaying Ashitaka.
