Line 67:
* [[Heroic BSOD]]: Princess Kaguya has one when she is told that Sutemaru and the children has moved away to another area where there are trees to chop. After hearing about this, she wonders away silently, collapsing in the snow.
* [[It's All Junk]]: Princess Kaguya keeps a small garden in the back of her mansion to mimic the [[Arcadia]] lifestyle. In a fit of rage, she destroys the garden, realising that it is only a copy of the real thing holding almost no value and decides that it's no longer worth having around.
* [[Kid Hero]]: The film starts out using the trope as Princess Kaguya and Sutemaru are growing up in their countryside village. As the film goes on, Princess Kaguya grows up and is no longer a kid, averting the trope's usage. Since Princess Kaguya's age is never stated, there is a chance she's still a kid at the end of the film, however her increased maturity compared to when she first arrived makes that unlikely.
* [[Leitmotif]]: Princess Kaguya's theme is established in the very first thing audiences see — the opening credits — with the track "Overture". It is frequently used both diegetically and non diegetically to the point where the film borders on having a [[Theme and Variations Soundtrack]]. She also sings it when she's playing with the children and Sutemaru in [[Arcadia]]. Other prominent motifs include "Life" and "Li'l Bamboo".
* [[Lonely at the Top]]: Princess Kaguya struggles to make genuine and authentic friends as a Princess. Despite living a luxurious life surrounded by wealthy individuals, she longs for her old lifestyle. The trope is made more powerful by the fact that the Princess does not have a choice in getting to the top; she is forced into the top by her parents.
