According to the official movie pamphlet, many civilians of adjacent areas and along the river down held grudges against Eboshi and Irontown because of environmental destructions, and many of samurais that attacked Irontown were actually farmers who suffered because of Irontown, and Asano, while having his own political interest and aimed concessions on irons, also received such petitions from civilians and thus used this opportunity and approached Irontown.Irontown annually operated types of works which were usually conducted only in winter not to damage agricultures, thus many civilians (such as farmers, fishermen, merchants, and eventually majority of adjacent societies) suffered due to Irontown's unprincipled operations.These deceased subordinates didn't know the real intents behind this. Later, she even used subordinates as baits to lure boars, knowing that they will all die, and dropped bombs on them and activated bombs hidden underground, committing a mass murder. She easily abandons her subordinates such as when Moro and her clan ambushed cattlemen.Controversies Īccording to Hayao Miyazaki, Lady Eboshi is shrouded in controversies, and noted that it was a karma for Eboshi and Irontown to be attacked by samurais being consistent with Ashitaka's word that she 'triggers new hatreds and grudges'. Eboshi, preparing to kill the Forest Spirit. After the land is healed, she promises to rebuild a better town and leave the forest alone. Later she cuts off the head of the Forest Spirit and has her right arm bitten off by Moro. Ashitaka learns that Eboshi is the one responsible for turning Nago into a demon. When Ashitaka comes to Irontown he meets Eboshi. Lady Eboshi is first seen when she is with her army transporting rice to Irontown where they are attacked by San and the wolves but survive. She used them to conquer the area of the Cedar Forest. Soon she saw Ishibiya, the Chinese guns, and imported them from China and upgraded them.

Then Eboshi conspired with Gonza to rebel, and she murdered her husband, freeing from the pirate with Gonza. Gonza was one of crews of the pirate, but he was infatuated with Eboshi. Later on, she became the wife of the pirate leader.

She was once a shirabyōshi, then became a hostage to pirates. When she's in her 'battle attire' she wears a shorter cloak and a red 'eboshi cap' which gave her name. And it is her unexplained difficult past, which provokes her high opinion of herself, and her low opinion of others problems. This outfit is reminiscent of 'Shirabyoushi', which hints at her backstory. She wears Hakama, a dark red male kimono, and a huge cloak that she hangs on her shoulders. She's the only female in the film who wears lipstick. She has black hair that she ties up in some sort of traditional style, finishing off with a pink ribbon. Despite her ambitious agenda, in the end when Irontown is destroyed, she is shown to be remorseful. She's also a very strong female who understands the injustice of a woman's position in society. She has a definite authoritative air about her, which Ashitaka inevitably sees and provokes. In pressing situations, she's shown as calm and collected, attributing to her status as a leader. However, she looks at spirits as foolish creatures. Her two most notable acts of empowering others is buying the contacts of women forced to work in brothels and taking in lepers, whom are cleaned and fed well the women run the forge, while the lepers craft the guns. As the leader of Irontown, the townspeople love her, giving her the highest influence as she was the one who freed them from their oppressive environments by bringing them all to Irontown. Eboshi is a tough and arrogant woman who wants to positively influence the world.
