[[WMG:Fujimoto is [[YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries Mako Tsunami.]]]]
He and the ocean have resolved their differences and got a ton of kids. Also, prolonged exposure to the sea reveals that Mako's hair is actually red.
* Freaky fish kids, even.
* Although he seems to have become an amphibian (judging from his ability to be in the air as long as he stays damp), which is really not fair. Freaky frog guy?

[[WMG:Granmamare is [[TheLittleMermaid Ariel]] when she becomes queen of the sea.]]
[[GenerationXerox Well, it explains how accepting she is of her daughter wanting to be human.]]
*And she moved to Japan?
** All the way from ''Atlantic''a? And Fujimoto is her second husband?
** TheLittleMermaid was a long time ago, and WeAreAsMayflies. Mermaids live at least three times longer than humans.

[[WMG: Granmamare is Ariel's daughter, Melody, from the ContestedSequel to Disney/TheLittleMermaid.]]

[[WMG:Fujimoto is [[TwentyThousandLeaguesUnderTheSea Captain Nemo]]. ]]
He [[HesJustHiding was just hiding.]] Who would have guessed?

He hates humans, he builds tons of cool steampunk technology, and he has vaults from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries…

[[WMG: Fujimoto is a descendant of [[HowlsMovingCastle Howl and Sophie]]. ]]
Their children lived in Japan and either intermarried or used Japanese names to fit in.

[[WMG: Lisa is [[TopGear The/a Stig]]. ]]
Black and white outfit, DrivesLikeCrazy yet skillfully and thinks nothing of it, and finds an opposites-attract love with a guy who loves ''boats.''


[[WMG: Lisa is [[MyNeighborTotoro Satsuki]]. ]]
She seems to accept the whole "fish-turned-into-a-girl" thing quickly. Clearly she's had experience with cute supernatural occurrences. Plus [[ShoutOut there's a totoro on her fridge.]]
* Also, the boy Satsuki becomes friends with grows up to be Souske's father. The hat Souske wears is the one he wore in "Totoro".

[[WMG: Lisa is a grown-up [[KikisDeliveryService Kiki.]]]]
* Nonsense, the senior citizen with the huge bow is a grown-up Kiki.


[[WMG: Fujimoto is an [[AlternateUniverse AU]] Taro Urashima.]]
Think about it. Both are/were humans who somehow lived underwater for a time, met a beautiful water spirit, and fell in love. The original Taro left to go home; Fujimoto stayed underwater and lived forever thanks to the YearInsideHourOutside.

[[WMG: Ponyo is actually Sosuke's new younger sister]]
Think about it. Heck, the last few scenes near the end (that involved an ovum-like vessel for Lisa and the seniors to breathe in , no less!) appeared to be a extremely subtle metaphor for a pregnency. The love between Ponyo and Sosuke can be easily taken as a platonic, sibling love as well. Why else would they include a scene where a new mother explains breast milk?

[[WMG: The whole thing was a XanatosGambit on the part of Granmamare to have Ponyo become human]]
The Goddess knew that humanity and nature (via the sea) needed to come back together, and saw that Ponyo would be a way. So she stuck Ponyo and her sisters with her overprotective, but adorably {{Cloudcuckoolander}} husband, who would remain distracted by his "work" to give Ponyo the freedom to be curious and ''just'' rebellious enough to go off on her own. Ponyo started coming into her greatest power at the most curious and "innocent" time of life to be able to create a close bond with a human child. It was pretty much a given by that point. (Seriously, does ''anyone'' think Fujimoto really could have gotten away with getting rid of humanity and restarting life from the sea? He can't even fix a stuck door.)

[[WMG: Ponyo can use [[GurrenLagann Spiral Energy]]]]
She willed herself to grow hands and feet and eventually become human, like Boota. Her magic seems to be directly tied to her willpower, though she's still to young to know how to use it effectively.

[[WMG: Lisa is actually Sousuke's stepmother, not mother]]
On a slightly more believable note than the above entries, Sousuke never actually calls Lisa 'mother'. He always calls her 'Lisa'. When Sousuke and Ponyo are on their toy boat and meet up with the couple with the baby, the father says that Sousuke is 'Lisa's boy'. In the original Japanese, he uses the word 'otoko', which literally means 'boy child', ''not'' 'musuko', which means 'son'. But Sousuke ''does'' refer to Kouichi as his father, leading to the belief that Lisa is actually Sousuke's stepmother.

[[WMG: Everything after Sousuke and Ponyo leave the house is a SecretTestOfCharacter]]
Granmammare and Fujimoto set up a BatmanGambit to tire out Ponyo reverting her to "gold fish" form if Sousuke had abandoned Ponyo, say to look for his mother, then the disaster would have happened as well as Ponyo turning into sea foam. He didn't, so all they need is a verbal conformation that Sousuke accepted Ponyo the way she is/was/will-be.

[[WMG: Lisa is a grown-up [[SpiritedAway Chihiro.]]]]
While she doesn't remember her experiences in Yubaba's bathhouse, she probably subconsciously retains a fair amount of it. That's the reason she's so quick to believe Sousuke's explanation about who Ponyo is- subconsciously she remembers that she's seen much stranger things before. Her love of Haku, a river spirit, changed into a general love of the water- hence the reason she married a sailor and lives so close to the sea.

[[WMG: Granmamare is [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphitrite Amphitrite]] and Fujimoto is [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poseidon Poseidon]].[[CaptainObviousAesop Or...yeah]].]]
*Alternatively, [[http://www.theoi.com/Protogenos/Thalassa.html Thalassa]] and [[http://www.theoi.com/Protogenos/Pontos.html Pontus]]. Thalassa being the sea itself, and both spawning [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin fish]].
