Line 159:
* [[No OSHA Compliance]]: Justified in that the OSHA died out along with Industrialized Civilization. The Pejiti excavation is really ''not'' safe and has a ''lot'' of accidents, including one of Kurotowa's soldiers falling a hundred or so feet to his death in front of him.
* [[Not Quite Dead]]: {{spoiler|Kurotowa in the manga}}, after being severely injured and thrown around like a rag doll, is rescued by {{spoiler|Kushana}}. Then [[Unexplained Recovery|he recovered unexpectedly soon]].
* [[Not So Different]]: Nausicaä outright tells the Pejite they aren't any better than the Tolmekians
* [[Not So Harmless]]: Rather spectacularly, the manga version of Kurotowa manages to pull this off in the space of his first appearance, going from a seemingly buffoonish lackey to proving himself dangerously competent. If he pulled the switch any faster, he wouldn't count at all.
* [[Nuclear Weapons Taboo]]: The God Warriors. Somewhat averted in that they are actually radioactive, and merely being in their presence is akin to standing next to an open reactor.
* [[Nude-Colored Clothes]]: In the film, Nausicaä's tights are tan-colored. For a while, there was a persistent belief that she was actually naked under her skirt (which would be unfortunate considering the number of times it flies up while she's piloting her glider).
* [[Old School Dogfighting]]: The airships engage in plenty of it. See [[Cool Plane]].
*
* [[Opposite Gender Protagonists]]: Nausicaä is easily the main character, playing a much bigger role than Asbel. Asbel only has a major role in the second act. Still, that doesn't stop them from sharing sweet scenes and helping each out when they land in the deadly Sea of Decay.
* [[The Password Is Always Swordfish]]: The challenge and response chosen by the kids guarding Kushana? "Valley - Wind".
* [[Path of Inspiration]]: The religion founded around the {{spoiler|Crypt of Shuwa}}. All "holiness" that radiates from it is actually [[The Plan|a plot]] {{spoiler|by the Heart of the Crypt to cleanse the world and bring the old mankind back}}.
