Relevant post Strange symbols and patterns on the Torii Gates, Soh and Villagers. (it's been updated)
After reading Ten's post on symbols and how this 'curse' symbol appears in multiple places, I realized it's confirmation the Seethe are stealing Yoshiro's power when they attack her, like what was done to Soh.
The only time the stealing power is mentioned is in a trailer but now you can see that it's definitely what's happening to Yoshiro!
When Batsu steals Soh's power, she can no longer use her mask to its the full ability.
But when Yoshiro falls, Soh can no longer use her mask at all.
The Seethe are 'cursing' Soh and the villagers when they attack. When Soh's health is depleted, her power has likely been sealed for a brief amount of time.
This game's story is in so much of its game-play!
I wonder what's occurring in Tenko's Sacrifice though? When Soh sacrifices her life and a cherry tree blooms, purifying and healing villagers. A transferring of power?
On playing as the Goddess, while reading interviews, I saw this:
"We wanted to make an isometric view farther away this is obviously on purpose because players have sort of like a god watching over Yoshiro so you'll see a little bit of a higher vantage, and that also obviously has to do with themes of the story."
We play as Goddess, from above, controlling Soh, who is also us and is being channeled by Yoshiro.
This must mean Soh is a descended version of the Goddess.
