History Anime / OriginSpiritsOfThePast

* BlackAndGrayMorality: At first the entire point of the film seems to be an {{Anvilicious}} GreenAesop; however, it also kind of appears to be a {{Deconstruction}} of one as well. Ragna is a seemingly anti-environmental ruthless empire, but the altered "eco-system" of the Earth is a sentient, animalistic, mass-murdering, force of literal nature that demands that its protectors be turned into trees.
* BoringInvincibleHero: [[spoiler:Agito with superpowers finds literally nothing that can actually threaten him.]]

* High-Heel–Face Turn: [[spoiler:Jessica decides she has had enough of Shunack after she learns of his true colors and helps fight off E.S.T.O.C. to help Agito rescue Toola]].

* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:Jessica and the Ragna Army turn on Shunack ''en masse'' after she learns of his true colors and helps fight off E.S.T.O.C. to help Agito rescue Toola]].

!!This movie povides examples of:

* DangerouslyShortSkirt: Until she joins Shunack in Ragna, Toola wears nothing but her short hospital gown was wearing in the medical facility wear she was in suspended animation. Minka's family gives her something wear over it but her short skirt is still visible.
* {{Determinator}}: Agito, he'll get Toola back no matter how far he has to go or how long it takes. Shunack as well, he wants to correct his past mistakes, and he'll do whatever it takes and let ''nobody'' get in his way.

* EtTuBrute: Jessica's reaction to Shunack when [[spoiler:he reveals his motives]].

* {{Fanservice}}: There's a descent amount: Toola in her short, tight hospital gown, Agito's revealing top and muscles after he's enhanced. Also Minka sleeps naked, or at least topless.

* MysticalWhiteHair: [[spoiler:Agito]], though it's not much of a spoiler, since his hair is showed white in the advertisements for the movie... and is also ''the Japanese title''. [[spoiler:''Gin-iro no Kami no Agito'', lit. "[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Silver-haired Agito]]". Subtle.]]
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Toola, when she realizes [[spoiler:Agito sacrificed himself to save her because of her actions in help Shunack gain control of E.S.T.O.C.]], Shunack likely felt this trope too when awoke and saw what had become of the world [[spoiler: because of his impatience in the plant experiment that cause it go wrong]].

* OfficialCouple: Agito and Toola become this.
* OneManArmy: Anyone, who was touched by the Forest. [[spoiler:Agito doesn't seem to have problem with jumping great heights and singlehandedly destroying tanks. Literally singlehandedly, when he slices a tank in half with one hand]].

* RomanticismVersusEnlightenment: The Forest and Ragna, though which side is which is debatable. On the one hand there's the whole nature vs. science thing, on the other Ragna and especially Shunack are obsessed with the past while the Forest is a genetically engineered HiveMind of plants (possibly a biotech [[{{Transhuman}} Posthuman]]) that brought down the old order.

* WhamLine: How [[spoiler:Shunack's deception]] is revealed.

-->'''Jessica''': Come back! So we ''finally'' see your true colors.

* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Shunack does this to Jessica at the end of the film.

-->'''Shunack''': As though there were anything you could do to stop me. ''[he and Toola walk through the portal]'' We'll not meet again. ''[the door closes]]''

* EtTuBrute: Jessica's reaction to Shunack when [[spoiler:he reveals his true colors]].

* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:Jessica and her troops turn on Shunack ''en masse'' after she learns of his true colors and helps fight off E.S.T.O.C. to help Agito rescue Toola]].

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Toola, when she realizes [[spoiler:Agito sacrificed himself to save her because of her actions in help Shunack gain control of estoc.]], Shunack likely felt this trope too when awoke and saw what had become of the world [[spoiler: because of his impatience in the plant experiment that cause it go wrong]].

* ShesGotLegs: Toola

* WhiteHairBlackHeart: Shunack

* TheDeterminator: Agito, he'll get Toola back no matter how far he has to go or how long it takes. Shunack as well, he wants to correct his past mistakes, and he'll do whatever it takes and let ''nobody'' get in his way.

* TheDulceaEffect: Classic example with Agito and Toola.

* BadassGrandpa: Only shown in one scene, but one of three enhanced founders of the Neutral City.

* OneManArmy: Anyone, who was touched by the Forest. [[spoiler:Agito doesn't seem to have problem with jumping great hights and singlehandly destroying tanks. Literally singlehandedly, when he slices a tank in half with one hand]].

* PlantPerson: Enhanced humans.

* TronLines: The entryway to the [[spoiler:volcano that contains E.S.T.O.C.]] lights up with these in response to Tula's raban.

* PlantPerson: Again, enhanced humans.

* BadassGrandpa: Only shown in one scene, but one of three enhanced funders of the Neutral City.

Ragna is a seemingly anti environmental ruthless empire, however the altered "eco-system" of the Earth is a sentient, animalistic, mass murdering, force of literal nature that demands that its protectors be turned into trees.

* DetonationMoon
* FastballSpecial: A comical variation - after Agito gets enhanced, his inaugural battle on behalf of the forest begins with a Druid unceremoniously kicking him off a mile-high cliff and into the midst of Ragna soldiers siphoning water. He immediately recovers with his CrowningMomentOfAwesome.

* GoombaSpringboard: Agito is the victim of a rather humiliating one when he [[spoiler: fights Shunack. Shunack sends him timbling and relieves him of his love interest in one easy movement, with a smug look on his face.]]

* LandmarkingTheHiddenBase: E.S.T.O.C. is inside a mountain. It takes up the entire thing.
* LostSuperweapon: Much of the plot involves the search for an old-world device intended to reclaim the world from the feral forest. It turns out to be [[spoiler: a walking volcano cannon, which is as ridiculous as it sounds. The precursors obviously played a lot of Dwarf Fortress.]]
* {{Metamorphosis}}: Enhanced humans eventually turn into trees.
* {{Mindscrew}}: So many parts of the movie and its world produce more questions than answers -- [[FlatWhat flat whats]] abound.

* OneManArmy: Anyone, who was touched by the Forest. [[spoiler:Agito doesn't seem to have problem with jumping great hights and singlehandly destroying tanks.]]
** [[spoiler:Literally singlehandedly, when he slices a tank in half with one hand]].

* TheEmpire: Everything about Ragna ''screams'' this trope, from their blood red armor to their HumongousMecha to their heavily industrialized, military society. [[spoiler:However, they're far from AlwaysChaoticEvil. For the most part, they're generally decent people trying to live independently from the Forest, which is easy enough to see as a monstrous, tyrannical entity.]]
** The general obnoxiousness of the forest and anviliciousness of the message has a lot of people RootingForTheEmpire.

** ArtisticLicensePhysics: At the end of the volcano scene mentioned above, Agito jumps off the side of the mountain with Toola and both of them fall a good thousand feet. The landing actually kicks up a plume of dirt. Both are totally fine. Now, even if Agito is [[spoiler:a silver-haired superman]] Toola is just a normal human and the sudden stop should have snapped her neck.
