| 12 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Kotaro Daigo (Japanese), Brandon Engman (English) |
| 13 | |
| 14 | The male protagonist of the film. He is a first year student at Tokyo Metropolitan Kozushima High School who lives on the island where it is based. He couldn't bear the stress of his expectations and ran away to Tokyo. He meets a girl named Hina, who has the power to manipulate the weather. Together they start a friendship that doesn't last long when things go out of control. |
| 15 | ---- |
| 16 | * AbusiveParents: Although not specifically stated in the film, poor Hodaka has a father who's of the physical and emotional variety. This is indicated by his positive review on the hamburger that Hina gives him as well the bandages on his face seen in the beginning. The light novel seems to deduce that his father was the culprit. Nothing much is said about what his mom’s like, although a scene of Hodaka writing a letter to his mother in the beginning of the manga implies that she may not be as abusive as her husband. The novelization also states that when Hodaka returned to Kozushima, his parents and his school gave him a warm, yet awkward welcome, hinting that Mr. and Mrs. Morishima might have [[TookALevelInKindness softened up]] during their son’s absence. |
| 17 | * ActionSurvivor: He is about as physically competent as someone you'd expect to be on the run from an abusive household. [[spoiler:He manages to save Hina’s life, but ends up flooding Tokyo nonetheless.]] |
| 18 | * AgeAppropriateAngst: He's 16 and rightfully upset about his seemingly dull island life and his parents. He also goes through a lot of angst when it comes to his relationship with Hina. |
| 19 | * AgeCut: The plot of the light novelization is about him as an 18-year-old reflecting on his sojourn in Tokyo. From this perspective, the book is a series of flashbacks of his 16-year-old self. |
| 20 | * AllOfTheOtherReindeer: The light novelization seems to paint Hodaka as an underachieving outcast and a country bumpkin who was disobedient to his family, his town and his school. When he returned, he did improve: his grades go up, he gains more friends in school and adults speak to him more often. In his own words however, Hodaka just sees them as “side-effects”. A possible interpretation based on the film alone is that he may have even been bullied by his schoolmates. |
| 21 | * AllThereInTheManual: The light novel expands on Hodaka’s character, actually creating [[FreudianExcuse legitimate motivation]] for his actions and a reason why he ran away from home, as opposed to the original film where he simply hated his home island life and randomly decided that after sixteen years of putting up with it, he would run away from it. To be precise, he was suffering from an [[AbusiveDad abusive father]] and [[AssimilationAcademy a school that was metaphorically chaining him down.]] The manga also gives a different answer, showing two panels of Hodaka’s home life: [[https://xy-06-j.mangapark.net/96/58/5d4af32795c32e6b11978569/25_232713_838_1205.jpeg one of him looking bored and distant as he sits on a bench that is surrounded by nature]] and another of him [[https://xy-06-j.mangapark.net/bc/2f/5d9d9800923ef73d0a37f2cb/46_597251_1114_1600.jpeg lying lifelessly underwater]], adding to his definition of “suffocating”. |
| 22 | * AlwaysSaveTheGirl: Hodaka’s strong dedication to Hina has him saving her life more than once. |
| 23 | * AntiHero: Based on WordOfGod, it would be Hina, not him, to fit the position of the true heroic figure. |
| 24 | * BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: His seemingly harmless remark about wanting clear weather on the night that he and Hina confess their feelings for each other snaps the climax into action. |
| 25 | * BerserkButton: He reacts very negatively to going back home and he is very frightened of the mere thought of it. |
| 26 | * BreakTheHaughty: Between his star-crossed romance with Hina and enduring all that he has to do to bring her back, this rather thoroughly applies to Hodaka. The same applies to his parents, if that’s how you see it. |
| 27 | * BrokenAce: Given his background and depending on how well he does at his high school on Kozushima, Hodaka may be this. |
| 28 | * BroodingBoyGentleGirl: The brooding boy and ByronicHero, with quite the emotional issues to carry, to Hina's gentle girl. |
| 29 | * BrutalHonesty: Tries to use this to make Kei loosen his grip on him when he needs to save Hina. It doesn't work, so he bites him instead. |
| 30 | * ByronicHero: Even when taking his backstory into account, Hodaka has a lot of emotional issues that could fill the Pacific Ocean. In typical byronic hero fashion, he's good-looking, passionate, rebellious, capable of deep love, and constantly defies social norms. |
| 31 | * CannotSpitItOut: He refuses to discuss what his life back home is like for understandable reasons. Subverted with Hina, but his answer (“Everything was suffocating, that town, my parents.”) is pretty vague to say the least. |
| 32 | * ChaoticGood: If the lawmen in the film are either LawfulEvil or LawfulNeutral at best, Hodaka perfectly fits that alignment, defying authority and using pragmatic, underhanded tactics but for a good reason in the end. See ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight and PragmaticHero. |
| 33 | * CharacterNarrator: About 75% of the light novel is told from Hodaka's first-person point of view. |
| 34 | * TheChewToy: He’s had enough experience to know how hard it is to stand up to others who are bigger and tougher than he is, including his dad. He does, however, fight back at one of the thugs that accosts Hina using a gun. |
| 35 | * ChronicHeroSyndrome: Saves Hina, a complete stranger from a duo of thugs, and [[spoiler:tries to save her again when she is being sacrificed.]] |
| 36 | * TheCynic: He thinks that his island home is nothing but a prison. |
| 37 | * CynicIdealistDuo: TheCynic to Hina's idealist, since he's more pessimistic and pragmatic than her. |
| 38 | * DarkAndTroubledPast / MysteriousPast: Though his life prior to the events of ''Weathering With You'' has yet be given too much detail, what we ''do'' know from the movie itself, the light novel and the manga confirms his childhood was ''not'' a happy one. |
| 39 | * DefrostingIceKing: According to the novelization, Hodaka now sees Kozushima in a different light after [[spoiler:he sacrifices Tokyo to the rain by rescuing Hina.]] |
| 40 | * {{Determinator}}: Does everything in his power to make sure Hina and Nagi are not busted by the cops. |
| 41 | * FamilyOfChoice: He sees Hina, Nagi, Keisuke and himself as a surrogate family over his own parents for obvious reasons. |
| 42 | * {{Foil}}: To Hina. Both are adolescents with a complicated family situation, who have also developed {{street smart}}s soon, given the difficulties they go through and the issues with authorities related, but while Hodaka is from a fairly wealthy family of {{control freak}}s, Hina is poor and has no parents at all; then, Hodaka is rather cynical, impulsive, and could't care the less about collectivity [[spoiler:if it means saving Hina from her HeroicSacrifice]], while Hina is an optimistic AllLovingHero, whose goal is to [[spoiler:sacrifice herself so that she can save others from catastrophic events caused by bad weather]]. |
| 43 | * FormerTeenRebel: Grows into one; at the time he finishes high school, he is a calmer young man who's on his way to find a job and go to University, living a more normal life. |
| 44 | * FourPhilosophyEnsemble: TheCynic; as described above, he's rather pessimistic and thinks of the island he comes from as a prison. Then, he's also more pragmatic than the more idealistic Hina when the situation calls for it, not being above using guns to menace enemies, though he also can be very HotBlooded, impulsive and irrational due to his rebellious nature. |
| 45 | * FourTemperamentEnsemble: Melancholic, since he's a brooding rebel and Byronic Hero looking for freedom, and, as explained above, he has [[TheCynic a pessimistic nature and feels oppressed by the life he lived]]. |
| 46 | * FreeFallRomance: Literally; the last part of the climax [[spoiler:has him and Hina falling down through the skies of Tokyo. It is also at this moment that he prevents Hina from a life of eternal isolation in the clouds.]] |
| 47 | * FreudianExcuse: Defied in the original film. Makoto Shinkai deliberately kept Hodaka’s reasons for running away completely vague so that it wouldn't be a dramatic focus point in the movie and the only explanation given, aside from visual clues like the bandages, is that he found it to be “suffocating”. Played straight in both literary adaptations. |
| 48 | ** The light novel gives him a terrible father that might have seen the error of his ways after he returned. |
| 49 | ** The manga somewhat suggests that he was lonely and bored. |
| 50 | * FriendlessBackground: Hodaka implies in the last chapter of the light novel that, prior to his escapade to Tokyo, he had little to no friends in school. |
| 51 | * HairTriggerTemper: He’s quirky, brash, pretty animated, very sensitive and he is often not very polite. During the climax, he snaps at all of the opposing forces (including Keisuke) for their efforts at trying to keep him and Hina apart. |
| 52 | * HatedHometown: As mentioned in the novelization, Hodaka feels this way towards Kozushima because of it’s stifling mindset that is killing him at a slow rate. He eventually sees his home in a more positive light during the three year timeskip in the end. |
| 53 | * TheHermit: Hodaka chooses to live alone in Tokyo with no one else for company. |
| 54 | * TheHero: ZigZagged. Hodaka is the male protagonist of the film and it happens to be his coming of age story. [[spoiler:Depending on your interpretation based on the film alone, however, he doesn’t seem to get better. Or does he?]] Makoto Shinkai, however, does not see him as this, and based on his description, the one fitting the trope would be Hina: |
| 55 | -->-- "If the definition of a hero is [[spoiler:a person who would save both his significant other and the world,]] the protagonist of this film, Hodaka, is not a hero..." |
| 56 | * HiddenDepths: Namely his entire backstory, among other details, which can be guessed at via visual clues, one of Makoto Shinkai’s trademarks. It’s also one of the main themes of the movie and what Hina brings out in him. |
| 57 | * HisHeartWillGoOn: A non-tragic example. [[spoiler: After graduating high school, Hodaka sets out on his own, with enough yen to get him his own apartment, without any friends or family, while facing potential trauma from not seeing or hearing from Hina since that fateful day. But he holds on to the hope of seeing her again and makes the most of his newfound freedom, savoring his ability to choose his own path without his abusive father controlling him, and makes a good life for himself in time. In the very end of the movie, he and Hina are happily reunited.]] |
| 58 | * HonorBeforeReason: Hodaka's love for Hina is so strong that he ends up [[spoiler:flooding Tokyo]] without giving a single thought on the consequences. |
| 59 | * HotBlooded: He's quite an impulsive hothead, and often irrational, brash and not above menacing enemies with guns. |
| 60 | * IJustWantToBeFree: One of his reasons for running away. He earns it after he graduates. |
| 61 | * IJustWantToBeNormal: As mentioned above, Hodaka is uncomfortable with the trappings of his station and his island home and wants to experience being a [[FreeRangeChildren city kid with no restraints]]. |
| 62 | * ImAManICantHelpIt: He doesn't act overtly perverted to be a DirtyKid, but he can't help but [[EatingTheEyeCandy stare]] at Natsumi's chest at feel times, something she mercilessly teases him for, to his embarrassment. |
| 63 | * ImpoverishedPatrician: Hodaka may come from a lower-upper class or upper-middle class family, but he ends up spending most of his money during his first few days in Tokyo. |
| 64 | * InvisibleParents: His father is only seen in a photograph, but his mother is TheGhost, being completely (and physically) out of the picture. As the novelization confirms that Hodaka was getting beaten up by his dad, some of Hodaka's scenes makes it appear that he is still suffering from the trauma of his father's punches. This is [[https://www.reddit.com/r/Tenkinoko/comments/igdj2i/hodakas_parents_from_the_final_chapter_of_the/ Averted in the final chapter of the manga where they appear at their son's trial.]] |
| 65 | * KindheartedCatLover: Befriends a black cat, whom he christens Ame. |
| 66 | * TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: When we first see Hodaka, he's positively giddy about the rain that pours down on the ferry he is traveling on. The novelization emphasizes that he was letting all of his emotions out. |
| 67 | * LaserGuidedKarma: A heroic version. Karma eventually catches up to Hodaka thanks to the police, but his life on both the island and the mainland improve for the better. |
| 68 | * LimitedWardrobe: While this is justifiable given his runaway status, Hodaka rarely wears a different outfit aside from his black and white shirts in almost every scene up to the morning of Hina’s disappearance. |
| 69 | * ManBitesMan: Does this to Keisuke who stops him while he's on the run to save Hina. |
| 70 | * MeaningfulName: Hodaka means “high sail” reflecting his decision to explore the world, while Morishima means “luxuriant island” which gives the audience a clue towards his background. |
| 71 | * NiceGuy: An odd example: despite starting off as not exactly polite and a rebellious hothead, after warming up to Hina after he rescues her, he becomes very kind and compassionate, and tries to help her with their newfound business. Of course, he'll also do his best to save her when she's sacrificing herself. |
| 72 | * NiceToTheWaiter: This is how he first meets Hina when she notices him and gives him a hamburger. |
| 73 | * NoSocialSkills: He’s shown to be shy and awkward, rather brash, and he even stares at Natsumi’s breasts at least three times, although he remains faultlessly polite in that case. The novelization reveals that he even became more sociable with his schoolmates prior to his return to Tokyo. |
| 74 | * NoodleIncident: If you're ''that'' desperate for an answer behind the bandages applied to his face in the beginning, see AllThereInTheManual and AbusiveParents above. |
| 75 | * PragmaticHero: He's not above menacing others with a gun when attacked, may they be thugs or policemen... Or also causing trouble to others to save Hina, for that matter. And, despite his impulsive nature, when fronted by police, he'll always find some kind of underhanded tactic as a way to escape, rather than facing the situation. |
| 76 | * RebelliousSpirit: He would rather live his own life than continue the life he feels forced to live. He does learn to express this and break away after saving Hina. |
| 77 | * RedOniBlueOni: Hodaka is the Red Oni to Hina's Blue Oni, as he's kind of a hothead and can be very reckless, while Hina, despite being the more cheerful of the duo by far, is also more laid-back and less impulsive. |
| 78 | * RuleOfSymbolism: He does not replace his bandages after arriving in Tokyo. This is metaphorical of Hodaka trying to free himself from his father’s control. |
| 79 | * TheRunaway: Due to the abuse he suffers at the hands of his father, among a myriad of other possible reasons, Hodaka runs away from Kozushima, which kick-starts the plot of the story. |
| 80 | * ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: Often breaks the law, but ultimately for a good reason: saving Hina. Though, initially, it must be said that his reasons were more self-serving, but this changes indeed after meeting the girl. |
| 81 | * SmallTownBoredom: A possible interpretation. One of Hodaka’s reasons for running away is that he was simply bored with his endlessly shallow (and neglected) lifestyle on Kozushima, which makes his case all the more similar to Mitsuha from ''Anime/YourName''. |
| 82 | * SpiritedYoungLady: A male example, as he's an upper-middle class 16 year-old boy who is also quite awkward, clumsy and very rebellious against the standards and society of his hometown. Becomes full-blown after meeting Hina. |
| 83 | * StartMyOwn: One of his reasons for running away. In the end, after three years have passed, he severs all ties to his parents for good and actually manages to make full use of his life such as attending a university, resuming his job at K&A Planning and finally, settling down with Hina (probably). |
| 84 | * StreetSmart: Becomes this by constantly using tactics to escape from the police. |
| 85 | * SupportingProtagonist: While most of the story is told through Hodaka’s eyes, the main focus is Hina’s role as a weather maiden and finding her purpose to use it. |
| 86 | * TookALevelInBadass: Starts off with a little more than angst, but grows into a courageous, assertive young man who defies authority and danger to do what his heart chooses. |
| 87 | %%* TrophyChild: Presumably, based on whatever his parents want for him. |
| 88 | * TroubledButCute: Hodaka is ultimately a NiceGuy, as well as a handsome fellow with lots and lots and ''lots'' of issues. |
| 89 | * UptownBoy: Hails from an upper-middle class family, but falls for the poor Hina Amano. |
| 90 | * WelcomeToTheBigCity: For a bunch of reasons concerning his troubled past, he set off to Tokyo on his own in order to escape his abusive father and strict school to live his own life as much as possible. To his dismay, he ends up facing one problem to the next. After a few days, he is unable to find a decent job until he joins forces with K&A Planning and ends up in a [=McDonalds=] where he meets Hina. |
| 91 | * WhiteSheep: Unlike his classmates, (as implied by their personalities in all versions of the story) he hates his home island life due to his AbusiveDad, the island's narrow-minded philosophy and the traumatic stress it's giving him. He falls hard for Hina, and wants to be with her, even if it means a life of financial struggles. After the three year time gap in the film's epilogue, he pursues a simple (or exciting) lifestyle as a university student in Tokyo, partly also because of Hina and if the ending is of any indication, he plans on spending the rest of his life with her. |
| 92 | * WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: His dad hits him, his school chains him down, his island’s stifling small-town mindset is slowly killing him, he has difficulty finding a job, his money doesn’t last long, no ID card, no friends to speak of, is involved with a girl with magical weather changing powers, is on the run from the police for possessing a gun that may or may not belong to them and ends up [[spoiler:flooding the capitol of Japan]] just to save the girl he loves. |

| 101 | The female protagonist of the film. She has the power of atmokinesis, which mostly involves bringing sunlight to the raining city of Tokyo. Because her mother died of a fatal illness, she and her brother Nagi have to fend for themselves. She meets Hodaka at the [=McDonalds=] where she works and soon befriends him. Their love affair doesn't last because of certain troubles regarding both the law and the price of her powers. |
| 102 | ---- |
| 103 | * ActionGirl: If you count her weather-changing powers as this. |
| 104 | * AllLovingHero: Hina sees the best in people and is kind and supportive to everyone; she's also selfless to a fault, outright [[spoiler:sacrificing herself for others]]. |
| 105 | * AmbiguouslyAbsentParent: Her father is never mentioned at all. |
| 106 | * AngerBornOfWorry: Towards Hodaka. See ComplainingAboutRescuesTheyDontLike below. |
| 107 | * BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: She gives Hodaka a hamburger, he saves her from a thug and the two start to develop a friendship toward each other. |
| 108 | * BreakTheCutie: But only on a certain scale once the climax starts to settle in. |
| 109 | * BroodingBoyGentleGirl: The cheerful, optimistic and supportive gentle girl to Hodaka's brooding boy. |
| 110 | * ComplainingAboutRescuesTheyDontLike: Does this in a {{Tsundere}} way towards Hodaka at first, when he saves her from a duo of thugs. The reason was that he did it with a gun in his hand, shooting the thug in front of him. |
| 111 | * CueTheSun: Thanks to her magical weather-bending powers, the sun will come out. |
| 112 | * CynicIdealistDuo: The idealist to Hodaka's cynic, since she's by far more optimistic than him, supporting and comforting the guy. However, she's also a {{Woobie}} to an extent, and life definitely wasn't fair to her at all. |
| 113 | * {{Deuteragonist}}: Depending on your interpretation. Hina is the focal character the story revolves around, but part of the story is also dedicated to showing Hodaka's struggle against social hierarchy. |
| 114 | * TheDrifter: She often travels around the city looking for part-time jobs, but eventually moves on. |
| 115 | * DisappearedDad: It is not specified if her father is deceased or divorced and the closest we get to learning about him from the earliest draft of the story is that he simply isn’t there, implying the latter. |
| 116 | * DontSplitUsUp: Hina refuses to accept this trope, should the law catch up with her and her brother. |
| 117 | * FaceDeathWithDignity: She almost sacrifices herself, but thanks to Hodaka, she survives. |
| 118 | * {{Foil}}: To Hodaka's father, who most likely sees Hodaka as a possession, while she sees him as a person. Hodaka himself probably sees this as well. |
| 119 | ** She's one to Hodaka as well. Both are adolescents with a complicated family situation, who have also developed {{street smart}}s soon, given the difficulties they go through and the issues with authorities related, but while Hodaka is from a fairly wealthy family of {{control freak}}s, Hina is poor and has no parents at all; then, Hodaka is rather cynical, impulsive, and could't care the less about collectivity [[spoiler:if it means saving Hina from her HeroicSacrifice]], while Hina is an optimistic AllLovingHero, whose goal is to [[spoiler:sacrifice herself so that she can save others from catastrophic events caused by bad weather]]. |
| 120 | * FourPhilosophyEnsemble: The optimist; despite all she went - and still goes - through, she's a self-sacrificing, never loses her kindness and idealism, and still carries on despite everything. |
| 121 | * FourTemperamentEnsemble: An eclectic - mostly sanguine, with phlegmatic traits - overall; while cheerful, outgoing, optimistic and friendly, not only she's very accommodating, but she also has a calming influence on others, especially Hodaka, and as life didn't come easy at all to her, she also matured pretty soon. |
| 122 | * FreeFallRomance: Literally; [[spoiler:she and Hodaka fall through the skies of Tokyo in the final climax.]] |
| 123 | * FriendToAllChildren: Shown with her attitude towards Suga's daughter; at some point, she and Hodaka help other children using their website. She is also very friendly with Nagi. |
| 124 | * GenkiGirl: {{Downplayed}} actually, she's optimistic, cheerful and quite energetic, but understandably she's something of a {{Woobie}} due to what happened to her and what she still goes through. She pushes through regardless, though. |
| 125 | * GoodIsNotDumb: She's extremely kind and with an immensely good heart, yet it's definitely shown she's also clever and knows how to handle very difficult situations. Fitting as she had to grow up soon. |
| 126 | * GoodIsNotSoft: She has proven to be this when her powers cause deadly side effects to others, such as causing huge waves of water and creating bolts of lightning at will. However, she just uses her powers to make others live a happy and peaceful life. |
| 127 | * TheHeroine: The movie is as much her story as Hodaka’s, and according to WordOfGod, if the definition of a hero is [[spoiler:a person who would save both his significant other and the world]], then she would be the one fitting the true status as TheHero. |
| 128 | * HumanSacrifice: Hina’s intended fate. She is willing to sacrifice herself to bring balance to the weather, just minutes before Hodaka comes to her rescue. |
| 129 | * IdealHero: Where Hodaka is more of a PragmaticHero, being reckless, not above causing trouble to save Hina or menacing lawmen and enemies with a gun, and constantly using underhanded tactics to escape, Hina is an example of IncorruptiblePurePureness, who just wants to sacrifice herself for humanity. Yes, she may have lied, but that was to have the possibility to work and have enough money to support her little brother, and she's suddenly disgusted at using ruthless tactics like threatening others with guns. |
| 130 | * IncorruptiblePurePureness: She's a heroic, kind-hearted and selfless girl who just wants to do what's right and sacrifice herself for others. |
| 131 | * InnocentBlueEyes: They match her being very sweet and good-natured along with being the LoveInterest and heroine of the story. |
| 132 | * IntergenerationalFriendship: With Suga and his daughter Moka. |
| 133 | * IWillWaitForYou: It's pretty clear she was waiting for Hodaka to come back in the epilogue, and she's as adorably happy as a child at that moment. |
| 134 | * KillItWithWater: If she abuses her powers, her body turns into liquid. |
| 135 | * KnightOfCerebus: An indirect, and non-villainous example. But her presence and role as a weather maiden in the film makes several serious conflicts and even adds more drama to the film. |
| 136 | * LaserGuidedKarma: PlayedForDrama. Towards the ending, Hina has been abusing her power to the point her body turns to liquid and she has to become a sacrifice for the weather gods. Hodaka saves her, but the weather gods are not mocked: in the aftermath of the climax, she loses her powers, Tokyo is doomed to sink and she has go back to finding a normal job. |
| 137 | * MagicalGirl: She has the power to bring on the sun and clear the rainy skies. |
| 138 | * MeaningfulName: Hina means “sun greens”, reflecting the sun’s healthy effects in the environment, while Amano means “sky field”, which serves as a foreshadowing as to where she’s heading. |
| 139 | * MeetCute: Hina can be seen looking back at Hodaka when she gives him the Big Mac. |
| 140 | * MinorLivingAlone: With her brother due to her mother’s death and father’s absence. |
| 141 | * MissingMom: Her mother died a year before the events of the film. |
| 142 | * NiceGirl: There is nothing dislikable about her. Not only she's a FriendToAllChildren and a girl with a heart of gold who sees the best in people, but she's also selfless even to a fault. |
| 143 | * OnlySaneWoman: Actually, if you think of it, she fits here, lacking any of the quirks of the other characters - Hodaka being an impulsive rebel, Keisuke being a gruff smoker and drinker, Natsumi being a talkative, teasing gadfly who DrivesLikeCrazy and her brother being a mischievous KidANova. Her young age sometimes ''does'' show, though. |
| 144 | * ThePollyanna: Hina's more half-and-half. On one half, she is very sweet and cheerful, while on the other half, she's a {{Woobie}}. |
| 145 | * PluckyGirl: Even though [[TheWoobie you can't help feeling sorry for what she went through]], she still remains optimistic, cheerful and supportive. |
| 146 | * PromotedToParent: Becomes this after her mom dies. With no mention of her father or any other relatives to speak of, Hina has to take care of her little brother so that they can keep on living. |
| 147 | * RedOniBlueOni: Despite being the more cheerful of the duo by far, she's the Blue Oni to Hodaka's Red Oni, being more laid-back and less impulsive, while Hodaka is kind of a hothead and can be very reckless. |
| 148 | * TheRunaway: With the law on their tails, Hina, along with Nagi and Hodaka, decides to escape the law to avoid a seemingly miserable life in a foster home. Not to mention the fact that she doesn’t want to risk getting separated from her brother. |
| 149 | * StreetSmart: Seems to know her way around after shifting from job to job. |
| 150 | * TaremeEyes: She has large eyes which have this form along with being InnocentBlueEyes, fitting her sweet and kind-hearted nature. |
| 151 | * TragicKeepsake: Her mother’s pendant. |
| 152 | * {{Tsundere}}: Surprisingly, but she's still a type B, although a very {{downplayed}} example. She's immensely nice and kind-hearted, but her young age and embarrassement whenever her possible crush on Hodaka is mentioned show up at times. |
| 153 | * WeatherManipulation: They don’t call her the 100% Sunshine Girl for nothing. |

| 164 | * AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Utterly averted. Nagi is very nice to Hina and gets along well with Hodaka, even giving him advice on what to buy for Hina. He can be quite brash, especially after Hodaka has him wearing a ''teru teru bōzu'' costume, but the movie makes it clear that that's not necessarily a bad thing. |
| 165 | * ChickMagnet: A lot of girls around his age find him cute. |
| 166 | * CompositeCharacter: A pre-production example. Originally, Hina was supposed to have two sisters. Nagi is a gender-flipped combination of the two. |
| 167 | * {{Determinator}} / WholesomeCrossdresser: After Hodaka is arrested and his sister is waiting to be devoured by the weather gods, Nagi makes a concerted effort to help bring her back by swapping clothes with one of his girlfriends. |
| 168 | * DisappearedDad: It is not specified if his father is deceased or divorced and the closest we get to learning about him from the earliest draft of the story is that he simply isn’t there, implying the latter. |
| 169 | * DontSplitUsUp: He runs away along with Hodaka and his sister so that he and Hina can stay together. |
| 170 | * {{Kidanova}}: He is very young, yet he's already something of a casanova. [[spoiler:He actually manages to escape the police by having an ex-girlfriend switch clothes with him.]] |
| 171 | %%* TheLancer: To Hodaka. |
| 172 | * LovableJock: He's a charming, athletic and attractive kid, very popular among the opposite sex, and a NiceGuy as well. |
| 173 | * MeaningfulName: Nagi means “calm”, which reflects his personality as a whole. |
| 174 | * MinorLivingAlone: With his sister due to his mother’s death and father’s absence. |
| 175 | * MissingMom: His mother died a year before the events of the film. |
| 176 | * NiceGuy: Very friendly and caring toward his friends and sister. He even helped Hodaka find a birthday present for Hina during the soccer scene. |
| 177 | * TheRunaway: He tries to escape the law along with his sister and Hodaka. |
| 178 | * ShipperOnDeck: Supports Hodaka and Hina’s relationship all the way. |
| 179 | * TagalongKid: Justified. After Takai and his forces figure out that he and his sister are living all by themselves, Nagi becomes a positive third wheel in Hodaka and Hina's escape from the law. |
| 180 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Subverted. He is last seen in the flesh [[spoiler:tackling the old cop so Hodaka can make his way to the rooftop shrine to rescue Hina]], and a later photo shows him with Keisuke's family, but whether or not he reunites with Hina is open to interpretation. |
| 181 | * WiseBeyondTheirYears: One of the reasons that separates him from being a little brother stereotype. He is very mature and he helps Hodaka with some ideas on what to buy for Hina. |

| 187 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ShunOguri (Japanese), Creator/LeePace (English) |
| 188 | |
| 189 | A man who saves Hodaka from falling off the ferry to Tokyo. He runs K&A Planning, which does ghostwriting for tabloids. |
| 190 | ---- |
| 191 | * TheAlcoholic: He has Hodaka buy him a beer at their first encounter, and alcohol is rarely far from his lips. Natsumi often calls him out on it. |
| 192 | * AllThereInTheManual: He is developed further in both the manga and the light novelization. |
| 193 | * BaitTheDog: He first appears as a nice guy after saving Hodaka from falling overboard, but then he mooches off of him. This is later downplayed as he never does anything indecent. |
| 194 | * BrutalHonesty: He does not make light of the fact that Hina is beyond saving once he reaches Hodaka in the abandoned building. Hodaka proves him wrong. |
| 195 | * CharacterDevelopment: He is initially interested in only making money off of his tabloids, but at the end, he is so moved by Hodaka’s desire to save Hina that he immediately gives him enough money to find a place for them to stay. |
| 196 | * CommonalityConnection: He too ran away to Tokyo when he was about Hodaka's age and it's implied that he did it for the same reason: He and his father never got along. [[spoiler:He also lost the woman he loved and so he sympathizes with Hodaka's wish to save Hina.]] |
| 197 | * ContrivedCoincidence: For some nutty reason, he just so happens to be on the same ferry that Hodaka is on. Which leads to the former saving the latter's life. |
| 198 | * DrowningMySorrows: One of the reasons he drinks. |
| 199 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: After we are introduced to Hodaka, he shows up out of nowhere and saves him from going overboard. This makes it clear that he does actually care for other people. This is ZigZagged as he mooches off of Hodaka, but later on he's seen as supportive towards him. |
| 200 | * FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The foolish to his brother’s responsible. |
| 201 | * FourPhilosophyEnsemble: The apathetic, since he's often aloof and generally has a rather neutral, sleazy attitude. |
| 202 | * FourTemperamentEnsemble: Phlegmatic type 2 very probably, since he easily appears to be pretty laid-back and levelheaded, especially compared to Hodaka. Then, it becomes evident that he still carries sorrows on his shoulders... And after all Hodaka is a boy, while Kei is an adult. |
| 203 | * FreudianExcuse: Keisuke may be a bit of a jerk, but since his wife died and his parents favored his brother more than him, can you really blame him if he wants to take it out on somebody? |
| 204 | * GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: While confronting Hodaka in the derelict building, he tries to talk Hodaka down into surrendering, which could be seen as an EpicFail after everything Hodaka did to get there. This statement earns him [[DeathGlare a well deserved glare from Hodaka]] and prompts Hodaka to [[CallingTheOldManOut call him out for maintaining such a calm attitude amidst his girlfriend going missing]]. |
| 205 | * GrumpyOldMan: Not actually ''old'', but the other main characters are all between childhood and young age under 25, while he's in his 40s, and he's rather gruff. That said, [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold he's quite kind and genuinely caring underneath his grumpy attitude]]. |
| 206 | * HeroOfAnotherStory: Has a similar backstory with Hodaka’s, but with tragic results. |
| 207 | * IntergenerationalFriendship: With Hodaka and Hina. |
| 208 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: {{Downplayed}}. He may be kinda gruff and sleazy towards others, even Hodaka, but he's ultimately quite kind, cares deeply for his daughter Moka, allows Natsumi to live with him, and cares for Hodaka and Hina later on. It doesn't take until Hodaka tries to rescue Hina for him to sympathize with his actions. |
| 209 | * TheLostLenore: His wife. |
| 210 | * TheMourningAfter: He still misses his wife. |
| 211 | * OnlyInItForTheMoney: He pays a lot of lip service to the myths he writes about and is only focused on obtaining the profits. Despite [[spoiler:Tokyo flooding]] in the end, he actually succeeds in expanding his business. |
| 212 | * ParentalSubstitute: Hodaka has a much better relationship with Keisuke than his own father. It's pretty apparent that Hodaka sees him this way, even if he is a bit of an asshole at times. |
| 213 | * PermaStubble: His facial hair never seems to leave him. |
| 214 | * PrecisionFStrike: He gets to be the film's main source of profanity. |
| 215 | * TheRunaway: See other tropes above and below. His backstory is basically an adult mirror of Hodaka’s. |
| 216 | * SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: The Savvy Guy to Natsumi's Energetic Girl. He's a cynical realist, while she's always cheerful and positive. |
| 217 | * ShipperOnDeck: He has full support of Hodaka and Hina's relationship as a couple. |
| 218 | * SmokingIsNotCool: One of his character flaws. He even tries to kick the habit in order to get Moka back. |
| 219 | * TragicKeepsake: His wife’s ring. |
| 220 | * TheUnfavorite: It is also implied that he ran away because he was an anti WellDoneSonGuy who was tired of living under the shadow of his more successful older brother [[spoiler:(Natsumi’s father)]] and the expectations his parents had for him. |
| 221 | * UptownGuy: Comes from a family of legislators who fell in love with a city girl. |
| 222 | * WhiteSheep: Also like Hodaka, he was rebellious against his parents' and society's expectations for him. |

| 229 | |
| 230 | A recent graduate who works for Keisuke while trying to find employment. [[spoiler:Is really his niece.]] |
| 231 | ---- |
| 232 | * AbortedArc: She spends some moments in the film looking for a real job away from K&A Planning. Whether or not she got one or chose to stay with K&A after the time skip can only be guessed. |
| 233 | * BadassDriver: She's very fast on a scooter, which comes in handy when helping Hodaka escape from the police forces. |
| 234 | * BareMidriffsAreFeminine: She often wears shirts that expose her belly, accentuating her sexy, feminine figure. |
| 235 | * BuxomBeautyStandard: She has a very well-endowed bust, which both Hodaka and [[MaleGaze the camera]] fixate on. |
| 236 | * CommonalityConnection: [[spoiler: It's later revealed that like Hodaka and Keisuke, she too has daddy issues and has left her father to live with her uncle, determined to get manage her life by herself, which is implied to be why she related to Hodaka's status as TheRunaway.]] |
| 237 | * CoolBigSis: She acts like a cool and supportive older figure to Hodaka, and later to Hina. |
| 238 | * DeadpanSnarker: Natsumi is arguably the most sarcastic character in the film and has a somewhat mischievous sense of humor. |
| 239 | * DrivesLikeCrazy: On her scooter, though it's {{justified}} since she's there to help Hodaka escape from the police. |
| 240 | * {{Fangirl}}: In contrast to Keisuke, she's actually a fan of urban legends and gets invested in their stories. |
| 241 | * FourPhilosophyEnsemble: The realist, surprisingly. Despite her optimism and generally playful attitude, she's actually very capable of being levelheaded, and is the one looking out for facts through her job. |
| 242 | * FourTemperamentEnsemble: Sanguine; she's very outgoing, cheerful, friendly, kind and helpful, as well as flirty and teasing. |
| 243 | * TheGadfly: She's shown to have a somewhat mischievous sense of humor, telling Hodaka twice she guessed he was staring at her breasts. That said, she's one of the most kind-hearted characters in the movie. |
| 244 | * GenkiGirl: In addition to being somewhat immature at times, she's very cheerful and energetic. |
| 245 | * LasciviousBeautyMark: She has a mole underneath her left eye, and is an attractive and pretty flirtatious young woman who likes to act as TheTease and TheGadfly, intentionally flustering other characters often by joking around (as seen with Hodaka when she guesses he was staring at her breasts). |
| 246 | * MotorMouth: Tends to run her mouth off when stressed. |
| 247 | * MsFanservice: The camera focuses on her breasts and cleavage quite a bit, and she often wears fairly revealing clothes. |
| 248 | * {{Nephewism}}: [[spoiler:Keisuke is actually her uncle, and not her girlfriend like Hodaka initially assumed. She went to live with in after an argument with her father caused her to run from home.]] |
| 249 | * NiceGirl: She is very sweet, accommodating, selfless, and helpful towards Hodaka, and for most of the time she's also sympathetic with Kei despite his gruff antics. |
| 250 | * RebelliousSpirit: Also like Hodaka, she too was dissatisfied with her high-class upbringing and decided to live with [[spoiler:her uncle]]. Overlaps with RebelliousPrincess. |
| 251 | * SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: The Energetic girl to Keisuke's Savvy Guy. She's always cheerful and positive, while he's a cynical realist. |
| 252 | * TheTease: She seems to be fond of making others feel flustered, as seen in her interactions with Hodaka about her boobs joke, and with Hina about her possibly having a thing for Hodaka. She always does it in a benevolent way, though. |
| 253 | * UptownGirl: She's the daughter of a government official or politician. |
| 254 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: {{Subverted|Trope}}. Natsumi helps Hodaka reach the shrine, but she is not seen or mentioned again after Hodaka returns to Tokyo in the epilogue, though it's implied she was arrested with helping Hodaka like the others. She is, however, seen in a photograph alongside Nagi, Keisuke and [[spoiler:her cousin.]] |
| 255 | * WhiteSheep: She is in the same boat as Hodaka and [[spoiler:her uncle:]] a rebel of society. |
| 256 | * WomanChild: {{Downplayed|Trope}} as she's still very young, being in her first twenties, but she comes across as somewhat lazy and immature at times. |

| 287 | |
| 288 | A police investigator who’s hot on the trail of our three young runaways. |
| 289 | ---- |
| 290 | * TheBadGuyWins: In the span of one day, he actually succeeds in arresting Hodaka, but the boy escapes and an exciting chase scene to the shrine ensues. After Hodaka prevents Hina’s sacrifice, he arrests Hodaka again, for good this time and ships him back to his home island while he has Suga, Hina and the others thrown in jail. The closest thing he gets to a comeuppance is Suga punching him in the face. |
| 291 | * DelinquentHair: Inverted. He has a big [[FiftiesHair 1950s pompadour]], a hairstyle heavily associated with GreaserDelinquents and JapaneseDelinquents in numerous anime and manga, but is a police detective, albeit, [[JerkAss an unfriendly one.]] |
| 292 | * TheDragon: To the higher ups in the Tokyo Police Department and possibly even Hodaka’s parents, who have given him the task of bringing their son home. What’s worse about this plausible connection is that he may or may not be aware of how physically abusive Hodaka’s father is. |
| 293 | * TheHeavy: While Hodaka’s parents and the weather gods could be seen as the bigger threat as a whole, he is the main antagonistic character and the one most visibly trying to get in the way of Hodaka, Hina and Nagi’s happiness. |
| 294 | * InspectorJavert: He suspects Hodaka of owning a gun that may or may not belong to his cohort Shibata and becomes more and more aware that Hina and Nagi are living alone. After putting two and two together, Takai becomes obsessed with catching Hodaka, Hina and Nagi. Also, he is in some ways a policeman, so this fits. |
| 295 | * {{Jerkass}}: He may be doing his own job but there's nothing likable about him as he's antagonistic and abusive towards Hodaka without taking the time to listen to his reasons regarding Hina's disappearance after he apprehends him. |
| 296 | * KnightOfCerebus: As bad as the nightclub thug was, it is Takai's appearance that kicks the human opposition to our protagonists into high gear. |
| 297 | * LackOfEmpathy: Has no regards to Hodaka's feelings and treats him as an annoyance, disregarding his obvious emotional distress. Even when a fellow cop suggests that the first order of business should be getting Hodaka a psychiatrist, he brushes it off. |
| 298 | * LawfulEvil: He serves as an antagonist to the three runaways simply because he is doing his job. |
| 299 | * LeanAndMean: He’s very thin and a massive Jerkass, but not entirely. |
| 300 | * NoSympathy: His goal is to catch Hodaka for his crimes and put Hina and Nagi into foster care, and in doing this, he makes no attempt to offer comfort or reassurance or understand why they do what they do. The same goes for almost everyone on his payroll. This does bites him in the ass, as his questionable handling of the situation pushes Hodaka to run off. |
| 301 | * ShippingTorpedo: Indirect and subverted. He has no intention of destroying Hodaka and Hina's relationship, but his actions come off as so. He does succeed…for about three years until the two are reunited. |
| 302 | * VillainousBreakdown: When it's clear that Hodaka won’t come quietly without getting Hina back, he tries to shoot the poor boy. |
| 303 | * VillainyFreeVillain: About the worst thing about Takai is his LackOfEmpathy towards Hodaka's clear distress. Outside of that, he never actually crosses any moral line, even with him pretty firmly portrayed as the "bad cop." |
| 304 | * WouldHurtAChild: Pulls a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown on Hodaka before he is ambushed by Suga. Not to mention trying to shoot the boy during the climax when he's trying to run up the building to save Hina. |
| 305 | * YankTheDogsChain: Just when it looks as though Hodaka, Hina and Nagi are going to escape the law for good, Hina disappears, he arrests Hodaka for stealing Shibata's gun and it’s all a huge chase scene from here. |

| 315 | * EyesAlwaysShut: He rarely shows his eyes, but he still can move around just fine. |
| 316 | * GoodCopBadCop: Compared to his younger partner Takai, Yasui is a much kinder person. He never really go out of his way to hurt anyone in his pursuit of Hodaka, at least attempting to understand what motivates Hodaka to do what he did, and treats his interrogation with Keisuke much better than how Takai treated Hodaka. Of course, he still pulled a gun on Hodaka along with the other officers in the climax, but to be fair, Hodaka was pulling a gun on ''them'', too, and while Takai is getting itchy to fire the first shot, Yasui instead desperately tries to talk Hodaka down peacefully and keeps his gun down. |
| 317 | * InspectorJavert: Suspects Hodaka of stealing Shibata’s gun. Downplayed as he comes off has much more reasonable and sympathetic than Takai. |
| 318 | * OhCrap: When Nagi attacks him in drag. |
| 319 | * PunchClockVillain: Not really a villain, but he tries to apprehend Hodaka, Hina and Nagi because it’s his job. He actually comes off as a pretty decent guy and doesn't treat Hodaka and company any more badly than the job requires. |
| 320 | * SatelliteCharacter: He’s only seen in a few scenes, most of which involve him hovering around Takai. |

| 414 | * EvilCounterpart: Mr. Morishima is one to Keisuke Suga. |
| 415 | * FantasyForbiddingFather: Mr. Morishima is implied to be one. |
| 416 | * FreudianExcuse: Can you really hate them if they were simply doing what they believed was best for Hodaka? |
| 417 | * TheGhost: Without physically appearing in the film, their prescience is still felt within some of Hodaka's scenes. |
| 418 | * GreaterScopeVillain / SmallRoleBigImpact: Without any screentime, they are basically responsible for all the bad things that happened to Hodaka on the island as well as the cause of him running away. |
| 419 | * InvisibleParents: Mr. Morishima averts this trope, appearing in the photographs that Takai gives to Hina, but his wife plays this straight in the film and novelization. |
| 420 | ** Averted in the manga, as pictured above. |
| 421 | * {{Jerkass}}: Mr. Morishima regards Hodaka as a possession and a WellDoneSonGuy to be controlled, makes an abusive father and is apparently very strict with his family. It doesn’t take until Hodaka runs off on them to [[JerkassRealization make him realize what he had done]]. |
| 422 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Every time they're referenced prior the climax, simply reinforces the notion that they could never make Hodaka happy. But given how concerned they were in the final half of the story, it's very likely that they did care for Hodaka after all. |
| 423 | * KickTheDog: They weren't very nice with Hodaka before he made the decision to run away. |
| 424 | * LaserGuidedKarma: For reasons that can only be speculated at, Mr. Morishima was (presumably) an abusive tyrant who made life a living hell for Hodaka. His actions end up driving Hodaka away and result in him meeting Hina in Tokyo, leaving him and his wife under a cloud of worry. |
| 425 | * MeaningfulName: Morishima means “luxuriant island”, and given the way they dress among other hidden details, they could be upper-middle class. |
| 426 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: It can be interpreted that they finally realized that their actions drove Hodaka away and they enlisted Takai's help to bring him back home. The looks on their faces during Hodaka's trial in the manga are of concern and worry. |
| 427 | * NoNameGiven: They are referred to by Hodaka as “his parents”, while their surnames are pretty obvious. |
| 428 | * ParentsAsPeople: Given what we know about them, they do love Hodaka, but their actions means they neglect Hodaka’s emotional health in favor of their own goals (as is often the case with most parents in fiction). It can also be assumed that Mr. Morishima does feel horrible when he finds out his son ran away. |
| 429 | * TookALevelInKindness: The novelization and the manga imply that they had a change of heart after Hodaka came back. |
| 430 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: In some ways, Mr. and Mrs. Morishima are also responsible for the foundering of Tokyo. After all, it was their actions that lead to Hodaka running away and meeting Hina. |
| 431 | * UselessBystanderParent: Mrs. Morishima could very well be one since Hodaka made no mention of her hitting him. His letter to her in the manga could also count. |
| 432 | * WhyCouldntYouBeDifferent: A possible interpretation of Mr. Morishima’s cruel treatment of Hodaka. |
| 433 | * WouldHurtAChild: Hodaka explains in the novelization that the reason why he wanted to go after the light was because his father slapped him across the face off-screen. |

| 436 | [[folder:Taki Tachibana and Mitsuha Miyamizu]] |
| 437 | !!Taki Tachibana and Mitsuha Miyamizu |
| 438 | ->'''Taki voiced by:''' Ryunosuke Kamiki (Japanese), Creator/MichaelSinterniklaas (English)\ |
| 439 | '''Mitsuha voiced by:''' Mone Kamishiraishi (Japanese), Creator/StephanieSheh (English) |
| 440 | |
| 441 | The protagonists of Makoto Shinkai's previous work, ''Anime/YourName''. Taki makes an appearance visiting his grandmother, coincides with Hodaka and Hina's visit. Mitsuha on the other hand appears as a saleswoman selling a ring to Hodaka while he is finding a gift for Hina. |
| 442 | ---- |
| 443 | * AlliterativeName: '''T'''aki '''T'''achibana and '''M'''itsuha '''M'''iyamizu |
| 444 | * AllThereInTheManual: The light novel reveals that they got married during the three-year time skip. |
| 445 | * TheCameo: Both of them appear briefly interacting with Hodaka and helping to improve his relationship with Hina. |
| 446 | * CommonalityConnection: Mitsuha’s backstory is most likely similar to that of Hodaka’s and Suga’s. |
| 447 | * EarnYourHappyEnding: Mitsuha comes from a troubled family where her father neglected her for most of her childhood after her mother passed away. [[spoiler:She also has her hometown destroyed by a comet, in which she died in one timeline, and was separated from her soulmate for eight years. By the time of the epilogue of this movie, she and Taki are married, finally giving Mitsuha some degree of happiness for once in her life.]] |
| 448 | * HeroOfAnotherStory: Said story being ''Anime/YourName'', of course. |
| 449 | * ImportantHairAccessory: Mitsuha still wears her red ribbon from her childhood, which represents the RedStringOfFate between her and Taki. |
| 450 | * OfficialCouple: As confirmed by Shikai during an interview, both Taki and Mitsuha are married by the time of the epilogue of this movie. In the novelization of the movie, Taki's grandmother has a wedding photo of him and his bride. |
| 451 | * OneDegreeOfSeparation: Unknown to Hodaka (but not to the audience), the grandson of one of his clients and the saleswoman he bought a ring from know each other (though judging by the timeline, they have yet to reunite). |
| 452 | * OutOfTheFryingPan: [[spoiler:Mitsuha had to alter time in order to survive the destruction of her village nearly a decade ago, only to encounter another disaster at her new home in Tokyo in the form of a three year long flood.]] |

| 455 | [[folder:The Weather Gods]] |
| 456 | !!The Weather Gods |
| 457 | |
| 458 | The omnipresent gods who control the weather based on the principles of HumanSacrifice. |
| 459 | ---- |
| 460 | * BigBad: Of Hina’s side of the story. Given their hierarchy, they might as well could be the real villains of the movie. |
| 461 | * EldritchAbomination: [[spoiler:They punish Hodaka, Hina and the citizens of Tokyo with a never ending rainfall. It's implied through dialogue that the whole world's being punished for Hodaka'a actions, just that Tokyo is suffering the worst of it.]] |
| 462 | * GaiasVengeance: A possible interpretation of their post-movie agenda. Both Tokyo and a few other regions of Japan are shown with biblical levels of water or neverending downpour, implying they've punished the Earth, or at least Japan, due to Hodaka's actions. |
| 463 | * TheGhost: They are only depicted on the walls of the priest's temple. |
| 464 | * GreaterScopeVillain: Without so much as making a physical appearance, they are practically responsible for all of the bad things that happen to Hina in the story. |
| 465 | * JerkassGods: They require HumanSacrifice, so it comes with the territory. Them punishing an entire country, if not the whole world, to gradually be flooded for one person's actions also counts. |
| 466 | * LaserGuidedKarma: They are in control of this troupe by punishing the people of Tokyo, [[HitlerAteSugar and possibly the rest of the world if not Japan]], for not allowing Hodaka to let Hina’s sacrifice proceed as planned. |
| 467 | * OurGodsAreDifferent: These gods are in control of bringing balance to the weather, which can only work if a weather maiden (i.e. Hina) is sacrificed. |
