I said DEFINATELY hippie-ish.
Hence my confusion that it was capable of actually killing shit despite its somewhat flowery status. I was, plainly put, somewhat shocked that it didn’t attempt to bribe Lady Eboshi with some driftwood sculptures or hemp bracelets, like ordinary hippies do at gunpoint. But you appear to have cleared this matter up. Ghost-spirits indeed. (What’s the point where the chain of dying ends? Or is there? Will we end up killing dead zombie ghosts eventually?)

Also, yes he could.
He could have choked himself to death. Or beheaded himself with a razor. Drowning is for depressed housewives and mafia informants.

Wikipedia on the Forest Spirit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princess_Mononoke#Shishigami_.28The_Forest_Spirit.29

“As he walks, flowers bloom up at his feet though they quickly wither and die.”

Not a hippie? Sounds like Flower Power to me.

“When Eboshi shoots off his head, he becomes a raging god of death and his starry appearance changes to a dark tar-like liquid that kills anything it touches.”

Where were all its badass powers when its head was getting shot off? Besides, shooting off the spirit’s head kind of killed it, upgrading it from a hippie spirit to a menacing ghost-spirit. Any spirit, no matter how cool, would be cooler in ghost form.

Ghosts > Ghost-Spirits > Spirits

Therefore, Fujiwara no Sai would still kick its ass. After committing suicide, Sai possessed a Go board for thousands of years and haunted little boys. Could he get any cooler?
