Zeniba lets Chihiro go as a thanks for leading her to a dying Haku but threatens to rip her mouth out if she tells anyone about what she has witnessed. She demands Chihiro to move away so she can deal with Haku, but Chihiro refuses, stating that Haku is a good person.
What does Chihiro return to Zeniba?
However a short time later Chihiro makes her way to Zeniba's rustic cottage, returns the stolen seal and apologises on behalf of Haku.Why did Haku steal Zeniba?
But Haku might have his own motivation for stealing it: He's under Yubaba's control and wants to get free. He is desperate: he's "tried everything" to remember his own name, which would enable him to get free.How is Zeniba different from Yubaba What does Chihiro Sen call her?
I introduced my best friend to "Spirited Away" yesterday and afterwards, we were talking and she asked why Chihiro called Yubaba "Granny" when Zeniba was the one who told her to call her "Granny".Does Chihiro fall in love with Haku?
Over the course of the movie his relationship with Chihiro becomes stronger, especially after she learns he is a dragon. This bond eventually leads to them falling in love, for it was their love for each other that broke Zeniba's spell on Haku.Chihiro says goodbye to Zeniba.
Why did Haku tell Chihiro not to look back?
In my vantage point, Haku told Chihiro not to look back because she would've been somehow stuck between the two dimensions. If not that, Haku just probably didn't want her to remember looking back at his face while she was leaving the spiritual world.Did Haku and Chihiro ever meet again?
So when one fan asked if Chihiro and Haku ever reunited, they learned it was possible. "Haku was the spirit of the river that runs near the house where Chihiro used to live. If Chihiro ever visits that river...," Suzuki wrote. So, there you have it.Why is the baby so big in Spirited Away?
Yubaba has a giant baby because everyone has a grating weakness they find difficult to manage. Whatever Zeniba's seal represents, Yubaba wants it because she's greedy and grasping for power.What did Sen give No-Face?
Once she is dubbed Sen and made a bathhouse worker by the witch Yubaba, she invites No-Face in and he transforms from a quiet, seemingly shy character to a glutinous beast. There's much more to this monster than meets the eye, though, and some fans may have missed the most interesting facts about the "monster."Why did Chihiro forget her name?
Spirited Away(2001): Chihiro didn't forget her name immediately because she misspelled her own name on the contract (the first letter should be "荻"). No, Haku tells her after she's signed the contract. Haku tells her that if she doesnt get a job then Yababa will her into an animal.What does the name Zeniba mean?

Haku is already dead at the start of Spirited Away - he is a river spirit and 'dies' when his river is filled in/redirected. That's how he ended up with Yubaba in the first place. However, death is different for spirits. Chihiro releases Haku from Yubaba's service, which releases his soul.What kind of spirit is Lin?
