First header

Are susuwatari purely an invention of Ghibli/Miyazaki, or are they drawn from a more general Japanese belief? LordAmeth 12:45, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.90.232.145 (talk) 15:12, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Description and Size

The description says the sprites are "tennis ball sized" but look how small they are in comparison to Chihiro's shoes, bearing in mind she is 10 years old: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/58/c7/78/58c778c8f83efb930a611901509f08cf.jpg They are much closer to a golf ball or ping-pong ball, Are they directly described anywhere as being tennis-ball sized? If not this seems like an error.

Mistake?

"Sen is told that if these Susuwatari aren't given a job to do, they turn back into soot." IMHO Kamajii told so. 87.224.249.18 (talk) 12:46, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Singular of Susuwatari?

Just wondering what the singular of this name would be - susuwatari is plural, right? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.200.183.64 (talk) 08:47, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

IIRC, Japanese (generally?) doesn't distinguish between singular and plural nouns, so it'd be both singular and plural. 99.199.172.186 (talk) 05:32, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merges?

Oppose This merge seems to have arisen solely from the tail-end of another failing deletion attempt. In particular though, why merge to Totoro when they have a much larger part in Spirited Away? Andy Dingley (talk) 01:13, 18 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
