** As much as San professes to hate all humans, she falls for Ashitaka very quickly, so are her declarations a SuspiciouslySpecificDenial wherein she still wishes they did accept her to some degree? And does she latch on to Ashitaka because as a nomad now, he's not like regular humans, and is possibly the only other human who might understand her?

* FandomRivalry: There tends to be a mild one between this and ''Anime/SpiritedAway'' over which holds the title for Miyazaki's MagnumOpus, although of course there are plenty of fans of both.
* HarsherInHindsight: In the English dub, Toki is voiced by Creator/JadaPinkettSmith, and it's a RunningGag that she finds her husband useless and she at one point jokes about replacing him, also flirting with Ashitaka when she sees how handsome he is. The joke loses a lot of its humour in light of her increasingly scandalous personal life, including separating from her husband and having an affair during that period.
* SugarWiki/RuleOfSeanConnery: Creator/GillianAnderson as Moro in the English dub seems to be the one thing nearly everyone unanimously agrees about.

* TearDryer: [[spoiler: The forest spirit destroys both Irontown and the entire wood, leaving nothing but wreckage even as his head is returned. Cue the beautiful music "Ashitaka and San" as new grass grows over the destroyed areas, and it's clear that everyone survived, with Ashitaka and San waking up next to each other to find a new world about to be built]].

* MagnificentBitch: Lady Eboshi, the ruler of Irontown is a woman with a [[NervesOfSteel backbone made of steel]]. Forging a mining community with nothing but her own will and strength, Eboshi made it a refuge for lepers, outcasts and the downtrodden, even buying the freedom of many women from brothels and giving them a new home, training them to work and fight. Coming into conflict with the gods of the forest and local warlords, Eboshi leads her people to fend them off and fight back, even luring out the Great Forest Spirit to destroy it, in hopes of reducing the forest animals to just normal beasts, claiming her trick to killing a god is to not fear it. Even after losing an arm to the bite of the decapitated wolf goddess Moro, Eboshi merely grins and reminds herself that a wolf's head still has a bite, being one of the most morally complex and strong-willed antagonists in a Creator/HayaoMiyazaki film.
