Spirited Pet

 When Haku told Chihiro they would again soon, I don't think this was what he had in mind.

Though, this was always a risk Chihiro made every time she came back to be massaged in the coils of the snake and his hypnotic power. She can't really blame anyone else for this.

Wake Me Up Inside (2021)

Being eaten alive isn't SO bad if your mind is under hypnosis and you are numbed through the digestive process.

Unfortunately the hypnosis doesn't always keep the food under, and when this man-eater Anaconda subdued two subjects and swallowed them whole, the tight confines of the serpents innards was too much for the girl who ended up gaining consciousness.

Though her wereabouts were dark, she could feel the touch of what appeared to be another human in one direction, and something wet and cold in all other places.

First it was confusing that caused her to be afraid, but her last memory of seeing an anaconda with alluring yellow eyes and pieced together what transpired between her blackout.

Solo Catch: Kiki the Witch

Patrolling the forest from up high keeps one away from most dangers, unfortunately Bura can spring her trap anywhere in the forest from any position. Netting the witch in one quick strike and suspending her in the air while her broomstick falls to the floor.

Kiki can't pull herself out of the coils, and even if she could she'd risk falling down a dangerous enough height.

Solo Catch: Ponyo & Sosuke

Think you can split up to save yourself from being caught by a giant snake? Bura has the means and reach to tie their loops using both the head and tail, even as Ponyo hoped into the lake, the tail could feel around and catch the fish girl from swimming away.

Solo Catch: Shō (Arrietty)

Hopefully the snake doesn't squeeze the boy, I hear he doesn't have a strong heart.
