Line 38:
** This also occurs with the five prince suitors who are interested in her. Although she has a choice in which one to marry, and she sends them on a [[Fetch Quest]], she is still expected to marry ''one'' of them.
* [[Art Shift]]: The art style becomes much more sketchy and rough when Kaguya runs away from the mansion, and becomes much colder and more focused in the scenes following.
* [[
* [[Be Careful What You Wish For]]: Kaguya wishes that she doesn't have to marry the Emperor of Japan, and calls out to the moon for help. {{spoiler|Her wish is granted, and she no longer has to marry the Emperor, but the consequence is that she is now being taken away to the Moon, away from her friends and family on the planet with no way to prevent it.}}
* [[Blue and Orange Morality]]: The {{spoiler|residents of the Moon. Having lived on the moon for their entire lives, they are unable to experience the wonders as well as the ups and downs of live on Earth. This means that they struggle to comprehend basic human emotions, and does not understand Princess Kaguya when she wishes to stay on Earth, citing that on the Moon, one cannot experience negative emotions. They neglect to mention that this also means that they cannot experience positive ones.}}
Line 95 ⟶ 96:
* [[Unwanted Harem]]: With genders reversed. The harem is the group of male suitors who wish to marry Princess Kaguya, as well as the people waiting outside her palace hoping to catch a glimpse of her. In an attempt to make them go away, she sets an [[Impossible Task]] for them as an [[Engagement Challenge]]. Instead of the suitors, she wishes to marry her childhood friend Sutemaru.
* [[Walking on Water]]: Princess Kaguya's parents do this near the end of the film. {{spoiler|The Princess is being taken away to the moon, and her parents beg and plead for her to stay. They run on water and fly up to the clouds where the Princess is.}}
▲* [[Weird Moon]]: In this case, the weirdness comes from size. In some shots of the film, notably the last one before the credits, the Moon takes up over half of the screen. The shot is made more weird by the lack of saturation when compared to the rest of the film. {{spoiler|Justified, as Kaguya is from the Moon.}}
* [[World's Most Beautiful Woman]]: Princess Kaguya, to the point where even the Emperor of Japan took interest in her appearance, and Kaguya receives ''many'' letters from people waiting outside her palace. The five suitors race to her palace, causing a stampede and knocking bystanders into a river. {{quote|'''Narrator''': As time went on, rumours of the princess's beauty grew, the streets outside the mansion became crammed with people, hoping to catch a glimpse of the mysterious Princess Kaguya.}}
* [[The X of Y]]: The ''Tale'' of the ''Princess Kaguya'', fitting in the formula ''The (common noun) of the (Proper Noun)''.
