Line 33:
** Daijin jumps from the ferry to a passing boat, which fortunately happens to also be headed for Ehime.
** {{spoiler|Serizawa just happens to be outside Ochanomizu Station when Suzume is passing by. Then Tamaki just happens to find her there as well, as opposed to any of the many, many other stations in Tokyo she could have tried looking at.}}
* [[Cosmic Keystone]]: There are two Keystones that keeps [[Eldritch Abominations]] trapped in the Ever After dimension. If a Keystone is missing, then the entirety of a worm can escape into the real world. When that happens, if it collapses into the ground, it will be very bad and a lot of people will die.
* [[Creative Closing Credits]]: The film proper does a [[Close on Title]] after Sōta and Suzume close the door near Suzume's old house. The first part of the credits then play over an epilogue showing {{spoiler|Sōta and Suzume parting ways at a train station and a montage of Suzume and Tamaki returning to Miyazaki while visiting the people that had been met along the way.}} The rest of the credits are in the standard white-on-black.
* [[Cute Kitten]]: Daijin. He is, however, far more devious than his cute looks would suggest.
* [[Deliberately Monochrome]]: Many of Suzume's flashbacks, along with {{spoiler|scenes of Sōta being trapped as a keystone}}, are depicted in black and white.
* [[Disappeared Dad]]:
Line 59 ⟶ 61:
* [[Innocent Innuendo]]: Suzume uses chair!Sōta to get to a box on top of a shelf, then belatedly asks if she can step on him.
* [[Invisible to Normals]]: Suzume quickly learns to her horror that, apart from herself and Closers like Sōta and his grandfather, nobody can see the worm. Used to particularly chilling effect in Tokyo, where the worm's ongoing descent is juxtaposed with shots of how the muggles see nothing more than an apparently normal day.
* [[Jerkass Gods]]: Daijin, {{spoiler|a Keystone turned cat}}, is definitely ''not'' a nice god. He wants to spend time with Suzume, but Sōta's presence means Suzume won't spend as much time with him. His solution? Play with mortals by turning Sōta into a chair. He continues to be an asshole whenever chair Sōta enquires about the possibility of regaining his human form, running away from Sōta like there is no tomorrow.
* [[Kid Hero]]: The heroine is one of the oldest characters that can still be considered a "kid"; one more year and she'll belong in "Adult Hero". Although she hasn't come of age, she's too old to be considered a conventional Kid Hero. She's old enough to get a bank account, and is able to journey halfway across Japan without strict guidance from her guardians.
* [[Long-Haired Pretty Boy]]: Sōta, who Suzume outright calls beautiful when she first sees him.
* [[Masquerade]]: Closers put up one so that worms will never be revealed to the general public. It's quite an easy Masquerade to pull off, given how [[Muggles]] cannot see the worms. However, Closers ''must'' do their jobs before any worm fully escapes into the world, otherwise the "Top Ten Most Deadly Earthquake" list will get a new entry.
* [[Memento MacGuffin]]: The chair Suzume's mother made for her as a young child. One of its legs snapped off, though Suzume can't remember how. Poor Sōta was cursed to ''become'' the chair.
* [[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 Abominations]], and do something about them.
Line 108 ⟶ 112:
* [[Urban Fantasy]]: The supernatural is contrasted against modern life, with social media playing a key role in Sōta and Suzume's tracking of Daijin's movements.
* [[Voices Are Mental]]: Despite Sōta becoming a literal ''chair'' with nothing close to a larynx or mouth, the chair still can somehow talk, and sound ''exactly'' like Sōta before his transformation. Becoming a chair did exactly nothing to impede his ability to communicate.
* [[Where It All Began]]: In order to enter the Ever After {{spoiler|to rescue Keystone-Sōta}}, Suzume must {{spoiler|travel back to her hometown, through the door she went through as a child. Back where her adventure in the Ever After all began}}.
