Rescue Romance: Happens repeatedly throughout the story. Minato becomes interested in Hinako after she saves him from drowning as a child, Hinako becomes interested in Minato after he saves her from a fire, and Yoko becomes interested in Wasabi after his words "save" her by encouraging her to be herself.

 Ride Your Wave / int_1f6854a4
comment
Tragic Intangibility: A huge part of the plot is that since Minato can only appear in watery reflections, he can't do anything a real boyfriend can. So when Hinako needs someone to help her up when she falls or wants someone to hug her, he can't do anything for her. Hinako refuses to admit this bothers her, but Minato wants better for her and begins to doubt if he's helping her move on.

"Do It Yourself" Theme Tune: The film's theme song, "Brand New Story", is performed by Generations from Exile Tribe. Ryota Katayose, one of the group's lead singers, is the voice of Minato. This carries over to the English version, which is sung by Hinako and Minato's voice actors.

Bittersweet Ending: Hinako and Yoko are saved from the fire thanks to Minato. The ones responsible were arrested. A year later, both Yoko and Wasabi are dating with the latter being more confident. The couple are still close friends with Hinako, who has received her CPR certificate and is now a lifeguard. However, Hinako is no longer able to communicate with Minato's spirit like she once was able to and is still in mourning. That being said, she's still "riding her own wave".

Returning the Handkerchief: Ultimately subverted. When they first meet, Hinako lends Wasabi a towel to dry himself off with. Although Wasabi develops a crush on her, Hinako ends up with Minato instead, Wasabi's attempts to romantically return the towel after Minato's death end in failure, and he eventually ends up in a relationship with Yoko.

Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: A downplayed version. Minato has always taken care of himself and Yoko when they were younger and their parents even stated Yoko should be more like him. From Yoko's part, she did skip school but apparently stopped before Minato's death and was more impulsive than him at times.

Forgotten First Meeting: Two examples. Early in the film, Wasabi accidentally sprays himself and a passing Hinako while practicing with the firehose. She lends him her towel and asks for directions before going home. Even when she starts dating Minato and gets to know Wasabi as his friend, she doesn't realize that he was the firefighter from that incident until he brings it up. More dramatically, Hinako was the one who saved Minato from drowning when they were children, but doesn't realize until she sees a picture and recognizes the turtle on his swimsuit. It's strongly implied that he did recognize her, though.

Shout-Out: Images of Lu and the merpuppy can both be seen at points; the former appearing on an image at the fire station, and the latter appearing on a t-shirt as well as some other merchandise.

Unintentional Final Message
 Ride Your Wave / int_cce55b6a
comment
Unintentional Final Message: Hinako receives two of these from Minato. When she finally manages to unlock his phone, she finds the text message he was in the middle of composing when he died - he'd just completed the complicated surfing trick he was practicing, and was looking forward to seeing her "ride her own wave." Seeing this inspires Hinako pull herself out of her depression and decide to start training as a lifeguard. At the end of the movie, Hinako happens to be near the same Christmas date location that she'd once visited with Minato. While she is standing outside, the loudspeaker begins to play prerecorded message to her from Minato, causing her to break down into tears. It turns out that Minato recorded it almost a year ago, planning to take her to that location again as a date.

No Antagonist: There's no Big Bad in the movie. The only ones closest to this are just irresponsible young men who break rules but aren't outright villainous.

O.O.C. Is Serious Business: The usually stoic and straight faced Yoko is crying into Hinako's lap when they're both surrounded by flames.

Too Good for This Sinful Earth: Minato is selfless, caring, and capable. After his death, when Yoko and Wasabi drop off his belongings to Hinako, Wasabi starts sobbing about him, expressing his shock at how someone as reliable as Minato could die so soon.

Intangibility: It's shown that even when Hinako physically enters the water, Minato's ghost still can't touch her - he just phases through her hands or turns into bubbles.
