Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Leans Progressive

Primary

The film's central conflict critiques humanity's environmental disregard and excessive waste, aligning with progressive environmental values, even though its solution emphasizes traditional folklore and individual heroism.

The film features a cast predominantly from its cultural setting, without engaging in explicit race or gender swaps of roles typically associated with other demographics. Its narrative focuses on themes within its cultural context, rather than offering a critique of traditional Western identities.

Secondary

The film 'The Great Yokai War' does not include any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its story focuses on a young boy's adventure with traditional Japanese folklore creatures, without incorporating elements related to queer identity or experiences.

The film 'The Great Yokai War' does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative focuses on a young boy's adventure with traditional Japanese yokai, without engaging with issues of gender identity.

The film features various female Yokai who participate in large-scale battles against corrupted Yokai and the main antagonist. Their combat methods primarily involve their inherent supernatural abilities and powers, rather than direct physical combat, martial arts, or melee weapon skills against male opponents.

The film adapts Japanese folklore and remakes a 1968 film. Major yokai and human characters maintain their traditionally established or previously depicted genders from source material or prior installments. No significant character's gender was altered.

This film is a remake of a 1968 Japanese film and draws from Japanese folklore. All human characters and yokai portrayals are consistent with their established Japanese origins, with no characters depicted as a different race than their source material.
