** The apes are hostile to San (being human) and the wolves (presumably for adopting her) and throw branches at them whenever they interact. They also blame anything bad that happens on San saying SHE brought in bad things (due to her being human) despite the fact that she's been trying to help fight the humans.

Trope was cut/disambiguated due to cleanup


* ArcherArchetype: While a skilled swordsman, Ashitaka's truly badass feats are performed with his bow. He also proves himself perfectly capable of living alone in the wilderness without other people.

** When Ashitaka and Jiko-Bou are walking together, look at the background and you'll see carefully animated birds flying around the entire scene, an extreme level of detail that truly gives life to the world.

added a new trope!

Added DiffLines:

* GunpowderFantasy: The setting is based on the early modern period of Japan, where firearms and industry were becoming major factors in Japanese culture and beginning to displace older cultural and technological norms, and Lady Eboshi runs an extensive foundry operation in Irontown that most notably manufactures matchlock muskets. These are [[FirearmsAreRevolutionary a complete game-changer]] in the movie's HistoricalFantasy version of Japan: iron musket balls from her weapons mortally wound both the Boar God and Moro the Wolf God, and are light enough to be used effectively against attacking {{samurai}} by her militia.

* RelatedInTheAdaptation: A curious example; in the original Japanese recording Kaya is Ashitaka's betrothed, while in the English dub she's his little sister. Neil Gaiman, who wrote the English script, [[https://www.tor.com/2017/01/09/looking-back-at-princess-mononoke-after-20-years/ has no idea when the change came in.]]

Well, it's definitely not purple, that for sure. But the HD re-release did affect colors a lot


* TechnicolorEyes: At least in the restored, HD release. Despite the realistic design for human characters and the action taking place in Japan, both Ashitaka and San have purple-gray eyes (she also has greenish hair). Could be HandWaved in case of the prince, since he's Emishi (still highly unlikely), but not even the flimsiest excuse exists for San.

* NatureVersusTechnology: Part of the conflict: Lady Eboshi and Iron Town's industrialization and pollution damages the surrounding nature, which retaliates through various nature deities attacking the village. However, the movie also shows that technology empowers humans, and that the best way to live is by advancing in harmony with nature.
