Line 56:
* [[Ironic Echo]]: Early on, Hina catches Hodaka looking at her chest and angrily asks where he's looking at. Later in the film, {{spoiler|after the backlash from her power has started to turn her body translucent green, she willingly opens her bathrobe and asks him again, this time sadly}}.
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: Keisuke initially comes off poorly, shamelessly mooching off Hodaka after saving his life on the ferry, underpaying him (3,000 Yen a month, around US$30, rather than the already low 30,000 Natsumi had been expecting), and firing him when the police start asking questions rather than risk getting into trouble. However, he is also shown to be a caring father to his sick daughter, lets Hodaka stay at the office with food and phone bill covered, gives a large amount of severance pay for aforementioned firing, and ultimately {{spoiler|attacks the police, getting arrested for it, so Hodaka can save Hina}}.
* [[Karma Houdini]]: There is no indication that the shady nightclub owner gets any comeuppance for his wrongdoings despite clearly getting caught on CCTV attacking Hodaka; the police who confront him about it seem more interested in Hodaka and don't even handcuff him to bring back to a station, and he is last seen at home no worse for the wear.
* [[The Legend of Chekhov]]: One of Hodaka and Natsumi's interviewees on the sunshine girl is a self-proclaimed psychic who tells them about how altering the weather {{spoiler|comes with the price of getting spirited away.}} Later on, Keisuke and Natsumi visit Koenji Hikawa Shrine, where the elderly priest tells them about a legend of weather-altering shrine maidens and {{spoiler|how they always ended up getting sacrificed.}}
* [[Man Bites Man]]: {{spoiler|Hodaka bites Keisuke's arm to get free so he can continue his quest to rescue Hina.}}
Line 65:
** Some trailers made it seem like Hodaka and Hina would get into trouble with criminals. The line "It's time to grow up, young man" is juxtaposed with a gunshot, creating the appearance of a criminal threatening or even attacking Hodaka. In the end, while criminals do appear, they're not the [[Big Bad]], and the line has a very different context: {{spoiler|Keisuke telling Hodaka to face the music and go home rather than continue trying to run away.}} The gunshot also has a different context, {{spoiler|as the shooter is Hodaka ''defending himself'' from a criminal rather than being attacked by one.}}
** One trailer plays "Grand Escape" over the sky clearing montage, whereas in the film proper "Celebration" is what plays in that scene, and "Grand Escape" is reserved for {{spoiler|Hodaka rescuing Hina from the place above the clouds.}}
* [[Next Sunday A.D.]]: The film was released in 2019, starts in 2020, and is mostly set in 2021.
* [[Orange-Blue Contrast]]: After Hina clears the sky at Roppongi Hills Mori Tower, one subsequent shot shows both the orange-red Tokyo Tower and the blue-lit NTT Docomo Yoyogi Building.
* [[Real Place Background]]: Hodaka's island home is apparently Kozushima. Various places all around Tokyo also feature; the derelict Yoyogi Kaikan Building central to the plot is near Yoyogi Station, or at least it was before it was demolished in real life. The nearest train station to Hina's home is Tabata Station. Keisuke stays near Kagurazaka Station. The first sky clearing job takes place in Odaiba, while the one for the fireworks festival takes place on the Sky Deck of Roppongi Hills Mori Tower. Parts of Kabuki-cho in Shinjuku and Ikebukuro in Toshima are also prominently featured.
