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  |
Actually, the reason for the sacrifice was the full moon was coming. If there wasn't a sacrifice, then there would be a lot of trouble. (It's some legend, wasn't explained in the movie.)
