Line 17:
** You lose someone right before your eyes, helpless to do anything.
* [[The Alleged Car]]: Serizawa's fancy-looking convertible doesn't have a roof that can close properly, which becomes troublesome when it starts raining.
* [[Ambiguous Innocence]]: Daijin. {{spoiler|The first time it speaks, it declares that it likes Suzume, but that Sōta is an obstacle, and binds him into the three-legged chair to "volunteer" him to be a replacement keystone, and seems too cheerful about the damage the worm will do. The way it shrinks into itself and runs away after Suzume declares her hate for it following the use of Sōta as a keystone over Tokyo, though, suggests that it wasn't being sadistic but genuinely did not expect Suzume's adverse reaction to its behaviour, and it's more docile when it next reappears. When it helps find the door Suzume went through when young, Suzume wonders aloud if it wasn't maliciously opening doors to let the worm through, but instead leading them to doors that were going to open. Finally, when it sees that Suzume is willing to sacrifice herself to become a keystone as a substitute for Sōta, it helps her free him and goes back to being a keystone in her stead.}}
* [[Another Dimension]]: The Ever After, where the souls of the dead go and {{spoiler|worms are held by keystones}}. It is impossible for
* [[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.
* [[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.
* [[Book Ends]]: An early scene has Suzume cycling to school and meeting Sōta going the other way. The last scene does the same.
* [[But Now I Must Go]]: {{spoiler|After the sealing of the worm and returning of the two keystones, Sōta tells Suzume that he can't go back yet because there are still other doors out there to close. He promises to find her again once he's done that, though, and keeps the promise.}}
Line 38 ⟶ 40:
* [[Disturbed Doves]]: The worm itself is [[Invisible to Normals]], but the birds its emergence disturbs aren't. One shot of it reflected in a bird's eye implies they can sense it just fine.
* [[Diving Save]]: Sōta does one to save Suzume from falling debris.
* [[Doomed Hometown]]: Suzume's birthplace was destroyed by the tsunami.
* [[Door of Doom]]: The very last door of the film, {{spoiler|the one where Suzume enters the Ever After}}. It's a pretty ordinary door, even a bit run down, but plays a significant role in resolving the conflict.
* [[Eiffel Tower Effect]]: Many famous landmarks of Japan like the suspension bridge between Shikoku and Honshu, Mt Fuji, Tokyo Tower and the Kaminarimon appear. Suzume even complains she missed sighting Mt. Fuji on a train trip.
Line 60 ⟶ 63:
* [[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.
* [[The Needs of the Many]]: {{spoiler|Sōta's grandfather tries to persuade Suzume to leave Sōta's sacrifice be because it spared the lives of the Tokyoites.}}
* [[Nephewism]]: After Suzume's mother died, her aunt Tamaki took over as
* [[Never Got to Say Goodbye]]:
** Suzume never got closure over her mother going missing.
