Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi contains some old, wise characters like Kamaji and Zeniba who have all the loving, insightful dialogue in the story. Kamaji's statement on love to Lin, which sounds like admonishment at first, actually serves as a timely reminder for her to recognize love, something she had forgotten during her time at the bathhouse. Whereas characters like Boh, Yubaba, and the staff belonging to the bustling bathhouse, where most people have lost their names and identities, often say obnoxious things to one another.
