Line 60:
* [[Exact Eavesdropping]]: Tomoya complains about how Souta missed his exam to become a teacher. There aren't a lot of good things about becoming a chair, but one of the few good ones is how you can eavesdrop on entire conversations. No one will notice; you blend right into the background! However, this poses a question: how come something this important is being talked about at the exact time Souta is in the room? It is a wonder that Tomoya and Suzume aren't having a good [[Talk About the Weather]].
* [[False Camera Effects]]: Take a shot every time the film uses bloom, screen shake, or depth of field. You'll be dead in thirty minutes.
* [[Foreshadowing]]:
*
** Daijin keeps getting sighted on social media in ways that make conveniently obvious where it's at. {{spoiler|Almost as if it's not actually the one opening the doors to let the worm out...}}
* [[Ghibli Hills]]: Present in a lot of abandoned locations where doors are located. The hills are covered in vivid blades of grass.
* [[Ghibli Plains]]: The film opens and ends with Ghibli Plains near night time in the Ever After dimension. The trope is used to create a feeling of vastness.
Line 78 ⟶ 80:
* [[Muggles]]: Normal people cannot see worms, and will go about their day to day life as usual even when the world is ending, because they don't notice anything. Only Closers (and Suzume) can see the [[Eldritch Abomination]]s and do something about them.
* [[The Needs of the Many]]: {{spoiler|Souta's grandfather tries to persuade Suzume to leave Souta's sacrifice be because it spared the lives of the Tokyoites. It doesn't work}}.
* [[Never Got to Say Goodbye]]:
* [[Never Got to Say Goodbye]]: Inverted with the visions of the people who used to stay in the Tōhoku area, as they said goodbye but never got to be welcomed back.▼
** Suzume never got to say parting words to her mother.
▲*
* [[Next Sunday A.D.]]: The film is set in 2023 and was released in 2022 in its native Japan, 2023 for the rest of us, with no obvious difference from reality.
* [[Ominous Latin Chanting]]: Chanting occurs whenever Souta and Suzume try to close a door against the worm. The soundtrack has a field day with the chanting.
Line 100 ⟶ 104:
*** A phenomenon that allows {{spoiler|people separated by time to interact}} plays an important role.
*** A shot of a sliding train door is identical to how that's depicted in the earlier film.
*** "Itomori High School" is played at one point.
** Like in ''[[5 Centimeters per Second]]'', the main character has an apparent dream of an older loved one who is dearly missed set in an otherworldly landscape.
** "Welcome to K&A" from the ''[[Weathering with You]]'' soundtrack is played at a different point.
* [[Skeleton Key]]: The key Souta carries around works to close any door, no matter its location, size, or orientation. Usually, you want a key to unlock a door. Not this time, though. It would be ''very'' bad if the key unlocks stuff. The best part about the key? It doesn't make skeleton related puns!
* [[Slice of Life]]: The main part of the film opens this way, starring the journey of an [[Ordinary High School Student]] biking to school. Fantastic sequences of closing the doors are also contrasted with mundane life with the people that Suzume encounters.
