What If Kubo Could Control the Moon? Discovering Kubo’s True Power

In Kubo and the Two Strings, Kubo is a young boy with magical powers who embarks on an epic quest to find his father’s armor and defeat the evil spirits chasing him. Along the way, he learns that his mother’s spirit and the power of storytelling can help him protect himself from dangerous enemies.

One fan theory is that Kubo’s true power lies not just in his ability to control the strings of his shamisen, but in his deep connection to the moon, which grants him the ability to bend reality through storytelling. What if Kubo could control the moon itself, using its light and power to manipulate time and space? This could have opened up endless possibilities for him, especially in his battle with the Moon King.

A key moment in the film is when Kubo’s story comes to life, summoning a giant skeleton warrior to protect him. This moment shows the true power of storytelling, blending the magical with the real.

What if the story didn’t end with Kubo’s victory? A prequel could explore Kubo’s parents’ past and how they fought the Moon King before Kubo was born, unveiling the full scale of the magical world Kubo was born into.
