* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The God Warrior wreckage Nausicaa climbs through at the very beginning has a cockpit inside its head with buttons and joysticks. No mention of any God Warriors having human pilots rather than being living creatures made of genetically engineered flesh grown over a mechanical endoskeleton is ever made again.

No mention of any God Warriors having human pilots rather than being living creatures made of genetically engineered flesh grown over a mechanical endoskeleton is ever made again. This is probably all to the good, given that if the manned versions had the same weapons loadout as the autonomous units, the pilot would be sitting right on top of a nuclear shaped charge, not to mention underneath a pair of high-powered X-ray emitters. Given Miyazaki's fondness for historical airplanes, it's not hard to imagine him picturing the Me-163 Comet while working on that one.

Three video game adaptations of ''Nausicaä'' were released for the UsefulNotes/{{MSX}}; two were top-down shooters but where Nausicaä does negotiations with human villages to prevent war and drops stun bombs (NOT regular bombs) on Ohmus as a strict self-defense measure. They were, however, mediocre in their gameplay, and flopped. As a result, not counting ''Anime/FutureBoyConan'' videogame adaptations, no further games based on Studio Ghibli works were produced (not that it kept the studio from doing the art direction for other games, like ''VideoGame/MagicPengel'' for the [[UsefulNotes/PlayStation PS2]], among others). A very common UrbanLegend has it that those games greatly offended Miyazaki, based on the wrong assumption that the games openly subverted the message of his film. Interviews following ''VideoGame/NiNoKuni''[='=]s release, and an actual look on those rare games by Website/HardcoreGaming101, debunked these rumors, with Studio Ghibli even being open to a ''Castle in the Sky'' adaptation.

** In the first scenes of both the manga and the anime, Nausicaä salvages the eye shell of an ohm to replace the Valley gunship's window. The gunship is also the last working one that the Valley has, stored in a hangar along with the salvaged remains of the others from centuries ago.

* ScrewDestiny: When Nausicaä finally makes it into the Crypt of Shuwa, she meets its Heart and learns [[spoiler:it's actually a bio-computer program that created the Sea Of Corruption after the Seven Days Of Fire and has been providing a steady drip of information to mankind's remnants to make the Forest spread, and will eventually resurrect the old mankind (to the detriment of the current) once the environment has been purified]]. Nausicaä does not take this well and [[spoiler:orders Ohma to destroy the Crypt, probably dooming humanity to extinction in the process, given that the forest is still there and still expanding, so the world is still slowly changing into one the poison adapted humans can't survive in]].

Added DiffLines:

* HealItWithNature: The ''ohmu'', essentially giant bugs the size of freight trains, are seen as representatives and guardians of nature. In the climax of the film, Nausicaa is trying to stop a herd of stampeeding ''ohmu'' by revealing to them that an infant ''ohmu'' that Tolmekia had abducted was alive and safe. But the ''ohmu'', blind with rage, collide with her and send her flying. She is seen lying on the ground, apparently dead. But the rage of the ''ohmu'' subsides, and they turn their attention to Nausicaa, and golden tendrils extend from their mandibles, radiating with energy. They repair Nausicaa's injuries, and she revives.

* ArtificialLimbs: Kushana hints at this when taking off some of her armor and shows there's no limb under it. Later, she appears ''sans'' armor, except for that arm and both legs, implying that her lower portions may be artificial as well.

* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: Implied with Kushana. She remarks that "Whatever lucky man becomes my husband shall see far worse than that." and her legs are artificial cybernetics, probably implying that her lower half was eaten by a bug.
