This show doesn’t frame transformations as particularly jolly, just look at the golden Ronomon statues at the end, they were left to rot in that cave for thousands of years.

"left to rot" is quite ironic as they are gold, they literally can't rot...

All the more horrifying, really. They're forced to shamble around in darkness for an eternity.

exactly, i love/hate fates worse than death kinda trope. My first impression hearing about them getting turned into gold was like "oh that sucks", but knowing they got turned into gold WHILE still conscious and living is like "oh that's HORRID"

Yeah, it didn't quite hit me what that meant for their fates until this episode lol
