WARNING! Unmarked Late Arrival Spoilers ahead for Your Name and the rest of Makoto Shinkai's filmography. Beware.
In one universe, Taki Tachibana and Mitsuha Miyamizu reunite at a certain staircase, and their story ends.
In another, Uileag Greer and Ayaka Godai discover that theirs is not over yet. Aquatic hostiles emerge to wage war on mankind, while warships of old return in human form to defend us. Ayaka is thrust into the spotlight when she learns that she is really the reincarnation of USS Iowa (BB-61), specifically the Pacific: World War II U.S. Navy Shipgirls version thereof, and is forced to struggle with what this means both for herself and those around her.
