Line 43:
* [[Maybe Ever After]]: The film ends with {{spoiler| Taki and Mitsuha reuniting and asking for each other's names,}} but whether they eventually become a couple is left a mystery. According to the novel for ''[[Weathering with You]]'', {{spoiler|there is a photo in Taki's grandmother's home of her grandson's wedding,}} and in that film proper {{spoiler|the grandmother is shown [https://www.reddit.com/r/Tenkinoko/comments/loec7w/i_dont_know_if_anyone_posted_it_already_i_was_re/ wearing on her wrist what looks like a Miyamizu braided cord], which implies that they did,}} but given the continuity conflicts between this film and that one, whether this is canon is left to the audience to decide.
* [[Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane]]: While there is no doubt as to the body swap being supernatural in nature, the comet Tiamat is more ambiguous. Specifically, {{spoiler|was it really just lottery-winning levels of bad luck that a fragment ejected from it landed exactly on the Miyamizu home like a cosmic precision-guided munition? Or is it really - following from speculation [[In-Universe]] in ''Another Side: Earthbound'' that the comet is an avatar of a [[God of Evil]] - a deliberate attack made by said god to avenge itself on the lineage of priestesses in service to the rival deity that defeated it previously?}}
* [[Missing Mom]]: Mitsuha and Yotsuha's mother Futaba died of illness six years prior to the start of the film, but still casts a shadow on the family, especially as [[The Lost Lenore]] to widowed Toshiki. Taki's mother, meanwhile, is nowhere to be seen, with only a vague allusion late in the novel as to him having to get used to living with the father. Nothing is done with this commonality.
* [[Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal]]: In ''Another Side: Earthbound'', Toshiki speculates in-universe that this is the reason why despite currently enshrining the celestial ''kami'' Shitori no Kami, the Miyamizu Shrine also has affinity with terrestrial ''kami'' like those enshrined by Izumo Taisha: the Miyamizu might have once worshipped a rebel against the celestials until a disaster befell Itomori sometime in the past, which was interpreted as their old ''kami'' failing them and led to their changing allegiance.
* [[Never Got to Say Goodbye]]: According to ''Another Side: Earthbound'', Toshiki was out looking for another doctor who could save Futaba and missed out on her last words, having to hear them secondhand from a nurse instead.
