* {{Woobie}}: Sayuri

* FridgeBrilliance: Suppose that Sayuri had never told Takuya about her dream of a white airplane while they were at the train station. This dream was [[spoiler: actually a vision of the future, where Hiroki flew the plane to save her from the tower's projections into her brain.]] Then he wouldn't have brought her to see the Velaciela and then the three of them would never have made a promise in the first place.

* InferredHolocaust: The film ends on an apparently happy note: [[spoiler:Sayuri is awake, the Tower is destroyed and its effect ended, and the Velaciela makes it safely back to Honshu.]] Furthermore, the peaceful HowWeGotHere opening with an adult Hiroki saying that [[spoiler:Ezo used to be foreign territory before the war]] very strongly implies that not only did they [[spoiler:manage to land properly, but also that World War Three eventually ended peacefully without going nuclear.]] That said... [[spoiler: at a minimum, most of Hokkaido just got wiped out because the two leads were wasting time having a touching moment instead of launching the missile, including possibly Okabe's family. Furthermore, even if World War Three ended in peace, we don't know how many lives did end up getting lost before that happened.]]

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: The violin solo, especially during the 'making contact' scene in the hospital.

* FridgeHorror: The film ends in an apparently happy note. But... [[spoiler: at a minimum, most of Hokkaido just got wiped out because the two leads were wasting time having a touching moment instead of launching the missile, including possibly Okabe's family. Even if they get back from the parallel universe, it's going to be interesting landing a plane with apparently no landing gear. And let's not forget, WorldWarThree just got declared...]]
