Line 65:
* [[Nerd Glasses]]; Tombo has them.
* [[No Antagonist]]: The film has no active antagonist - the source of conflict is Kiki's inner struggles with growing up. The film is also quite laid back until the climax, focusing on [[Slice of Life]] rather than an epic quest, invalidating the need for an antagonist.
* [[Opposite Gender Protagonists]]: Kiki and Tombo start out disliking each other. Once Kiki saw who Tombo really was, she started to open up to him. Tombo has a passion for aviation, making Kiki a perfect friend, as her witch powers enable her to fly. The ending sequence shows them flying together; Tombo on the plane he built, and Kiki on her broomstick. These two, despite having great chemistry, never engage in romance, instead being [[Implied Love Interest]]s and the film remains [[No Hugging, No Kissing]].
* [[Plucky Girl]]: Kiki's a poster child for this trope. She's a Miyazaki heroine, after all. It takes true talent to leave your parents by thirteen and settle into a brand new life.
* [[Psychosomatic Superpower Outage]]: The crux of the film's conflict revolves around Kiki losing her witch powers. [[Loss of Identity|If she can't fly her broom, what's she to do?]]
