This Was His True Form | |
| Napping Princess / int_1183175e | comment |
This Was His True Form: A variant. Ancien finally appears as her true self, Kokone's mother, just before she's about to die, as Kokone realizes that the Heartland stories had never been about herself, but her mother, all along, and the visuals of her dream change accordingly. | |

Goggles Do Nothing | |
| Napping Princess / int_12de0775 | comment |
Goggles Do Nothing: In her pirate outfit, Ancien has a pair of goggles. When she climbs to the outside of a towering Enginehead, she actually discards them (and her pirate hat), despite it seeming like the situation would make the goggles useful. | |

Royals Who Actually Do Something: Princess Ancien is obviously proactive. Her father is distant for most of the movie, but at least steps in when he finally realizes what has been going on. | |

Police Are Useless | |
| Napping Princess / int_59907e4f | comment |
Police Are Useless: A justified example. Early in the story, you have a senior member of a respected company claiming corporate espionage against a down on his luck guy who doesn't have much of a defense and his young daughter who seems to be obstructing justice. As the plot unfolds and the events become more ambiguous, the police develop more doubt and wonder why the executive is treating them like his personal henchmen. In the end, the police still don't get to do much, but it's simply because the hero already had all of the pieces they needed to resolve things beforehand. | |

Protagonist-Centered Morality | |
| Napping Princess / int_89434320 | comment |
Protagonist-Centered Morality: Consciously averted. Exactly the goal of the antagonist and what Kokone's father has done is not known right away, but Kokone refuses to believe that her family has done anything wrong. Later on, she steals the villain's briefcase, but only because her own stuffed animal was attached to it and she had no choice. When the protagonists realize they're low on money, it occurs to them that there is probably money in the briefcase, but decide using it would be stealing, and Kokone hands over the briefcase at the next opportunity. | |

Keep the Reward | |
| Napping Princess / int_a8476736 | comment |
Keep the Reward: Kokone's father Momotaro likes to do extra work on his jobs, like transforming an old vehicle into a self-driving one during a job to fix a tire, but refuses to be paid extra for it (although he will take food instead of money). This annoys Kokone and is one of the reasons they seem to be in some level of Perpetual Poverty. | |

Or Was It a Dream? | |
| Napping Princess / int_ac36578e | comment |
Or Was It a Dream?: It's left a bit ambiguous. Early on, having the motorcycle fly in Kokone's dreams appears to be how they reached Osaka, before Morio realizes that the vehicle has self-driving technology. At the same time, Morio and Kokone definitely shared the dream, which is unusual on its own (although only people aware of the stories are ever implied to have actually joined the dream, so it may just be a coincidence due to them knowing the details). | |

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: A recurring question (for the characters as much as the audience) starting when Kokone realizes she recognizes Watanabe from her dreams despite having never met him in real life. Most of the events are given a possible mundane explanation, and one is later confirmed, but most things are left ambiguous and how Morio and Kokone's father experienced the same dream as Kokone is never explained. | |

Corrupt Corporate Executive | |
| Napping Princess / int_cbe687ab | comment |
Corrupt Corporate Executive: The main antagonist, Watanabe, is a senior member of Sajima Motors, and uses his power to influence the police and ultimately intends to make a hostile takeover of the company. In general, he does keep to legal means, however, and even wants the procession at the Olympic Games to go over well just as much as everyone else (even if that's just because it would be bad for him if someone was injured). His counterpart in Heartland is much worse, making sure the princess stays imprisoned, keeping the country in danger, and ultimately wants to watch everything burn when his plans are foiled. | |

School Uniforms are the New Black: Kokone wears her uniform throughout most of the movie despite it mostly taking place after her summer break starts. Justified in that she is tired and falls asleep immediately after school, and once she wakes up is forced to hide and spends essentially the rest of the story on the run. | |
