Weathering with You: Difference between revisions

* [[Freeze-Frame Bonus]]: Unlike the other {{spoiler|[[Your Name]] cameos, Yotsuha}} only gets a very brief appearance from the side together with her classmates looking at the clear skies {{spoiler|after Hina's sacrifice}}.

* [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!]]: {{spoiler|While in the derelict building, Keisuke slaps Hodaka, trying to get him to see reason.}}

* [[Gray Rain of Depression]]: This trope accompanies Hodaka's initial poor prospects in Tokyo and is contrasted in-universe with the good mood that sunshine brings. {{spoiler|Later, this is inverted; following Hina's sacrifice, the sunlight comes across as a harsh reminder of what he's lost, even as others who do not know are rejoicing over the return of the sun.}}

* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: Hina. The scene where she has to become a sacrifice for the weather gods is frequently derided, but Hodaka ultimately prevents her from being taken for good.

* [[The Legend of Chekhov]]: One of Hodaka and Natsumi's interviewees on the sunshine girl is a self-proclaimed psychic who tells them about how altering the weather {{spoiler|comes with the price of getting spirited away.}} Later on, Keisuke and Natsumi visit Koenji Hikawa Shrine, where the elderly priest tells them about a legend of weather-altering shrine maidens and {{spoiler|how they always ended up getting sacrificed.}}

* [[Man Bites Man]]: {{spoiler|Hodaka bites Keisuke's arm to get free so he can continue his quest to rescue Hina.}}

* [[Missing Trailer Scene]]: One of the trailers has a shot of Hina pushing a trolley near Odaiba's Tokyo Teleport Station. What actually happens in that area in the film is different.

* [[Monumental Damage]]: One of the signs of how bad things get is {{spoiler|Tokyo being flooded enough that the Rainbow Bridge is partially underwater.}}

* [[Moral Myopia]]: After {{spoiler|Hina's sacrifice}}, one of the shots shows the shady nightclub owner with what appear to be his wife and child. They show no signs of distress at being around him, which suggests he treats them well, and only makes him more scummy for what he doesn't seem to have any problems with doing for work.

* [[The Needs of the Many]]: As the weather gets worse than ever, Keisuke wonders aloud if {{spoiler|letting Hina be sacrificed is a worthwhile price to pay in exchange for millions getting normal weather back.}} One sign of how bad things have gotten is that Natsumi, who normally calls him out on his foolishness, doesn't say anything this time.

* [[Never Trust a Trailer]]:

* [[Next Sunday A.D.]]: The film was released in 2019, starts in 2020, and is mostly set in 2021.

* [[Older Than They Look]]: When Hina first introduces herself to Hodaka and says she's the older of the two at 17, Hodaka says that she doesn't look her age. {{spoiler|She's lying.}}

* [[Orange-Blue Contrast]]: After Hina clears the sky at Roppongi Hills Mori Tower, one subsequent shot shows both the orange-red Tokyo Tower and the blue-lit NTT Docomo Yoyogi Building.

* [[Out-of-Genre Experience]]: The film briefly dips its feet into {{spoiler|[[Cosmic Horror Story]] when it shows the full scale of the weather gods that have been talked about across most of the runtime. Forget the overgrown winged lizards you might think of when you hear the word "dragon"; these things stretch across the the sky, being so huge that buildings are small beneath them and humans too tiny to be seen. [[Kaiju]] fight around and through buildings; one of these, while not quite big enough to be a full-scale [[Cosmic Entity]], could flatten an entire skyline just by landing. Hodaka is briefly sucked into and through one, and it shows no humanly-recognisable sign of noticing, if it even noticed at all, much less communicating with him. What agendas, drives or motivations they might have are never made known. Even when Tokyo is flooded after Hina is brought back to Earth, it's not possible to tell whether this is a malicious smiting of lesser beings for defiance or merely an autonomic, impersonal natural law kicking in. One can clearly understand why these things were worshipped and offered [[Human Sacrifice]]s.}}

* [[Real Place Background]]: Hodaka's island home is apparently Kozushima. Various places all around Tokyo also feature; the derelict Yoyogi Kaikan Building central to the plot is near Yoyogi Station, or at least it was before it was demolished in real life. The nearest train station to Hina's home is Tabata Station, with the South Exit and path therefrom clearly shown. Keisuke stays near Kagurazaka Station. The first sky clearing job takes place in Odaiba, while the one for the fireworks festival takes place on the Sky Deck of Roppongi Hills Mori Tower. Parts of Kabuki-cho in Shinjuku and Ikebukuro in Toshima are also prominently featured.

* [[Reality Ensues]]:
