''Oh she's a little girl with a round tummy!'' }}

 

* [[Bullet Time]]: Sosuke running from Fujimoto with Ponyo in the later half of the movie

* [[Catch Phrase]]:

* [[Cheerful Child]]: Sosuke. [[Genki Girl|Ponyo, even more so]].

* [[Children Are Innocent]]: Her father wishes she could remain so forever, and later objects to testing Sousuke because he is so innocent.

** Its a Miyazaki film, if you've seen the previous works you'll know this is a given. It just a more low key version this time.

* [[Hypocritical Humor]]:

'''Sosuke:''' ...I know, Mom, I don't. }}

* [[I Will Definitely Protect You]]

* [[Interspecies Romance]]

* [[Invisible to Normals]]: Only children can see that the waves have eyes... And only a single one of the elderly ladies seems at all confused at the fact that Sosuke's goldfish has a ''human head''.

* [[Tsundere]]: Lisa is an interesting adult version of one. Just ask her husband.

* [[Unusually Uninteresting Sight]]: Ponyo is a fish with a face, but nobody finds that strange (save one elderly woman who is treated as being a tad paranoid anyway). There's also Ponyo's "chicken/frog legs" when she uses magic, {{spoiler|Sousuke's giant toy boat, the underwater jellyfish dome that covers the senior home...}} The people of this town seem to be pretty chill.

* [[Weird Moon]]

* [[Weirdness Censor]]: Nobody seems overly amazed at any supernatural event that occurs. In fact most of the adults continue to believe that Ponyo is a 'goldfish'. See also [[Unusually Uninteresting Sight]].
