Line 63:
* [[Mood Whiplash]]: When Princess Kaguya walks home, announcing that they have caught a pheasant and are having pheasant stew the next day with a joyous and light-hearted mood. The mood becomes more stern as her parents abruptly interrupt her announcement, stating that they are moving to the capital.
* [[Narrator]]: In both the Japanese and English tracks, introducing audiences to the bamboo cutter which would serve as Kaguya's father in the opening. The narration continues on for the film, explaining actions of the characters without delving into [[Captain Obvious]] territory. This is used to develop and enhance the 'fairy tale' feeling of the film, alongside its art style.
* [[No Antagonist]]: Although many characters' motives creates conflicts with Princess Kaguya, none of them can be identified as a [[Big Bad]]; they're just people doing their everyday tasks. No one actively opposes Princess Kaguya. Princess Kaguya herself isn't fully in the right either, and isn't a [[Big Good]], leading to complex [[Grey and Gray Morality]], overlapping into [[Blue and Orange Morality]] in the case of {{spoiler|luna residents}}.
* [[Prince Charmless]]: The royal suitors who wishes to marry Princess Kaguya, who flatter her by comparing her to rare [[MacGuffin]]s. When Princess Kaguya tests their dedication by sending them on fetch quests for the items they compared her against, they fail. Some turn in fakes, others give up, others cannot find the item.
* [[Princesses Prefer Pink]]: The robe that Princess Kaguya wears throughout most of the film, and on the film poster, is pink. She throws off the robe when she runs away with Sutemaru, representing her return to a simpler lifestyle away from the royalty.
