Weathering with You: Difference between revisions

*[[Abusive Parents]]: While the film doesn't outright say so, the bandages on Hodaka's face when running away from home at the start, combined with his extremely negative reaction to the idea of just going back, imply this. Beyond the physical, emotional abuse or at least neglect is also implied by the way he calls a humble Big Mac that most people would find unremarkable the best meal he'd ever had in his life.

*[[The Alcoholic]]: Keisuke is a heavy drinker and outright has part of his office set aside as a well-stocked bar. Natsumi frequently scolds him for it. It is implied he drinks to cope with {{spoiler| the death of his wife Asuka in a traffic accident.}}

*[[Always Save the Girl]]: At the climax, Hodaka decides he's not going to accept Hina {{spoiler| being sacrificed to restore normal weather to Tokyo and rescues her from the clouds, telling her to pray for herself instead. She does so and they are returned to Earth, but the rain also comes back. Three years later, much of Tokyo is flooded.}}

*[[Bait and Switch]]:

*[[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.}}

*[[Ironic Echo]]: Early on, Hina catches Hodaka looking at her chest and angrily asks where he's looking at. Later in the film, {{spoiler| after the backlash from her power has started to turn her body translucent green, she willingly opens her bathrobe and asks him again, this time sadly.}}

*[[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.}}

*[[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. 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.

*[[Remember the New Guy?]]: Hodaka and co. take a sky clearing job for an old woman commemorating the one-year anniversary of her husband's death who is soon revealed to have a connection to ''[[Your Name]]'', namely that she is {{spoiler| Taki's grandmother. Taki having a living grandmother or a grandfather}} who was alive for the majority of that film was not mentioned at all previously. What makes this more egregious is that {{spoiler| Mitsuha's grandmother}} was an important supporting character who had multiple interactions with {{spoiler| Taki}}, so the presence of {{spoiler| Taki's grandmother}} previously would hardly have been a ''non sequitur.''

*[[Snow Means Death]]: As bad as the constant heavy rain is, it isn't until snow starts falling in summer that things rapidly race to their nadir.

*[[Theme and Variations Soundtrack]]: A number of tracks are rearrangements of "Grand Escape", "Is There Still Anything Love Can Do" or "We'll Be Alright".
