Line 14:
* [[All Just a Dream]]: Taki and Mitsuha initially dismiss the bodyswapping as dreams. Later, Taki wonders if the interactions really were a figment of his imagination after learning that {{spoiler| Mitsuha is already dead.}}
* [[All There in the Manual]]: There is a novelization by Shinkai that adds some information, but is focused closely on Taki and Mitsuha's perspectives. A side novel by Arata Kanoh, ''Another Side: Earthbound'', provides the perspectives of Tessie and Yotsuha, as well as further information on Taki's misadventures in Mitsuha's body and backstory for Toshiki, including how the latter first met the Miyamizu family. Additional manga adaptations for both the film and ''Another Side: Earthbound'' also exist.
* [[Alternate Universe]]: Given that [[The Garden of Words]] ends with Yukari going back to her hometown on Shikoku, it obviously cannot be aligned with her presence in Itomori here.
* [[Attack of the Town Festival]]: {{spoiler| A fragment of the comet Tiamat breaks off and hits, causing the death of 500,}} while Itomori is holding an autumn festival.
* [[Cassandra Truth]]: Mitsuha's grandmother tells Taki-in-Mitsuha that no one in authority will believe that {{spoiler| the fragment of Tiamat is going to impact Itomori,}} and is soon proven correct.
Line 28 ⟶ 29:
**Shinkai revealed that {{spoiler| Takao Akizuki from ''[[The Garden of Words]]''}} can briefly be seen in the crowd when now-adult Taki thinks he sees Mitsuha in a train station.
**The final act briefly shows {{spoiler| the kanji for Miyamizu on the nameplate of now-adult Mitsuha's apartment front door, confirming it's really her rather than a doppelganger.}}
*[[Maybe Ever After]]: The filmsfilm ends with {{spoiler| Taki and Mitsuha reuniting and asking for each other's names,}} but whether they eventually become a couple is left a mystery.
*[[Real Place Background]]: Itomori is fictional but is based on the actual Hida City in GIfu Prefecture. The restaurant Taki works part-time at is based on Cafe La Boheme near Shinjuku Gyoen. {{spoiler| Taki and Mitsuha reunite on the stairs leading to the Yotsuya Suga Shrine.}} Various other actual locales both in Tokyo and elsewhere in Japan are featured in the film.
*[[Slow Electricity]]: After {{spoiler| Tessie sets off explosives that}} destroy a local transformer, Itomori's lights are shown going out in sequence rather than all at once.
