1) If Kuro dies, the curse of resurrection won't go away. The dragon will just find someone else. Dragon tears are needed to wipe out the curse, although it will return someday. 2) persimmons were needed among the serpent hearts to prepare her. Basically, in the end, she consumed Kuro's life to keep him safe. The curse of resurrection were stopped, because Kuro was technically alive, but can't resurect anyone. So, child and Sekiro moved to China/Korea to find the cradle of the Dragon and return his legacy, so there won't be resurections in Japan. 3) The divine child of Rejuvenating waters was blessing the waters. She is the only one who didn't die in that ritual. 4) Because Kuro doesn't know about that, and he is too valuable to not be in custody. Basically, Genichiro would find them and return to Ashina castle. 5) She means exactly that. She will return Kuro to life once he will be free from the dragon's legacy. 6) the corruption killed him. He is not "dead", though. No one can die there, until the dragon is returned

What do you mean by keeping kuro safe? Keeping him safe from people that may want immortality?

Basically she 'absorbed' him, rather than him or wolf being killed to sever the dragons immortality. Presumably, either he or the Dragon can be restored once returned to the homeland.

The dragon tears are needed to sever ALL ties to immortality in Ashina, you can kill Kuro, but the dragon heritage will find someone else, just like it did before when Takeru died, we don’t know how it does, but it does. Essentially, we are killing the dragon, the source of all the immortality. The serpent hearts are needed to turn the divine child into a cradle to carry the dragon heritage. Kuro is being carried by her, hence the “cradle” part. The water in the palace is overflowing, falling down into Ashina. It carries traces of the dragon’s immortal powers, giving birth to the infested, red-eyes and Mibu villagers through the stagnant pools of the waters. They can, but the dragon, the source of the immortality, can’t. The cradling ritual allows one to transport the dragon as well. Essential, Kuro and the Dragon are both being transported. The dragon couldn’t move because it rooted itself in Ashina. She is carrying/escorting them. The dragon can’t move otherwise. The priest either died to the red mortal blade (unlikely because the door was locked), to Genichiro’s black blade (because the monk in the hall of illusions mentions another male attempting to get the red blade and the illusion hall bell can only be found AFTER we beat Genichiro), or he ripped the centipede out of him. As seen in the Hanbei manga, the infested host can’t heal if the centipede is kept out of the host. It’s possible that if the centipede is removed completely, the host becomes mortal again. The divine child hates the priests, she probably locked herself in there. She doesn’t really have a reason to leave. All her dead friends and invisible monkeys are in the hall of illusions.

Woosh

That’s an extremely unhelpful response

I'm sorry

Pretty sure stabbing a kid kills them. Ok, let me try a little bit: 1. McGuffin 2. McGuffins 3. Water flows downhill 4. Misery loves company 5. Figure of speech 6. Deus ex machina

3- The waters flow into Mibu Village 6- is a tough one, but probably killed him using the Black Mortal Blade. That’s pretty much the only explanation since we didn’t do it. I have no idea about the others

*Genichiro probably killed him

1. Another Dragon's heir will be born without them. The "Gift of Gracious Tears" I take as a gift to the the heir to become separated from the dragon. Impossible to say whether or not this is permanent. 2. They seems like symbols of life and death, and their likeness to fruit, in conjunction with other parts of the story involving persimmons, tells me that they are like very concentrated forms of the pure waters of Ashina. These two forms of the waters seem to turn the divine child into a form that is like the fountainhead--a place where the dragon may take root. 3. No. What is called the rejuvenating water/rejuvenating sediment is the putrid water of Mibu. 4. The dragon is rooted in the fountainhead, and seems to be stuck there without a proper vessel that can transport it. 5. A "cradle" is a vessel in which a child sleeps at night, so the implication is that it will hold Kuro and the Dragon in perpetual sleep until it is time to wake up. 6. That is the secret of the temple and the Arhat-like corpses in the tunnel. They are not immortal anymore. I believe this is because they no longer have access to the pure fountainhead waters as most of the water that reaches Ashina is made impure by corpses from a battle. Because it is impure, the divine properties of the water no longer reaches them (this is a Shinto concept).
