Line 24:
* [[Animalistic Abomination]]: Daijin looks like a white cat, but there's something clearly off about its left eye, and that's even before it goes [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]] or sounding way too gleeful about the havoc the worm will wreak.
* [[Animate Inanimate Object]]: A chair. Specifically, the three-legged Sōta-chair that can somehow talk and walk and chase a cat.
* [[Bad Vibrations]]: A small Earthquake is usually signals a worm is about to escape. When this happens, someone needs to do speed door closing. ''Quickly''.
* [[Blue and Orange Morality]]: Sōta says that the gods do not think the way humans do. Daijin demonstrates this throughout the course of the story by playing hopscotch with the human-made line between "good" and "evil".
* [[Book Ends]]: An early scene has Suzume cycling to school and meeting Sōta going the other way. The last scene does the same.
Line 32 ⟶ 33:
* [[Christmas Cake]]: Tamaki is in her 40s and still single. One of her coworkers, Minoru, is obviously interested in her, but she doesn't seem to notice.
* [[Clarke's Third Law]]: When chair!Sōta starts moving and talking in front of Rumi's children, Suzume tries to pass it off as a chair robot with AI.
* [[Conspicuous CG]]: A lot of effort was put into blending CG elements with traditionally animated elements, but it's still easy to see that worms and some vehicles are computer generated. Shots with camera movements stand out. It's far less noticeable than other examples, but still noticeable regardless. That said, the CG is integrated so good you can't complain.
* [[Contrived Coincidence]]:
** Daijin jumps from the ferry to a passing boat, which fortunately happens to also be headed for Ehime.
Line 112 ⟶ 113:
*** A shot of a sliding train door is identical to how that's depicted in the earlier film.
** 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.
* [[Skeleton Key]]: The key Sōta 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.
* [[Soft Water]]: Justified in the case of {{spoiler|Suzume falling from the Tokyo sky as Daijin takes on a giant form that covers and cushions the impact.}}
