I'm still not clear on what was special about Kagari that meant they had to sacrifice her, but probably if i knew more japanese mythology i could make an educated guess.

It's been a long time since I watched the movie, but I thought Sonshin survived? If I remember correctly, in one scene he was standing near a lake and saw the moon reflected in the water, and then the moon slowly turned red, and he realized Kagari was dead.
Maybe she was sacrificed because an oracle predicted a disease/war/disaster would stop if Kagari was sacrificed. It happens a lot in Greek mythology.. One men actually sacrificed his own daughter in order to win a war - the gods never explain why this particular has to die.
I don't know if such things happen in Japanese mythology, so maybe I'm completely wrong
