All There in the Manual | |
The Boy and the Beast / int_17ce80aa | comment |
All There in the Manual: The novelization, also written by Hosoda, explains a few details not revealed in the movie, including the reason why Ren’s parents divorced. According to Ren’s perspective, his uncle (from his mother’s side of the family) disapproved of Ren’s mother’s marriage to Ren’s father, so he showed up at their apartment sometime before the events of the movie with a lawyer and forced them to separate. “It probably had something to do with the fact that I was ‘the only boy in the family and the precious future head of the house,’� Ren states. | |

Sheath Strike: The main form of combat in the Beast realm. Many men and boys carry katana, but the Lord has forbidden everyone from drawing them, so swordfights are nonlethal affairs with the scabbard covering the blade. | |

The Boy and the Beast / int_27a42ebc | comment |
Spiritual Successor: Like Hosoda's previous film Wolf Children, it has a main character who has contact with both the human world and a non-human one and feels conflicted between both. Ren even resembles Ame in appearance when he grows older and, interestingly, Yuki too in the sense that he initially prefers the non-human world as a child but ultimately chooses to stay in the human world and attend school after maturing and befriending someone there. | |

Parental Abandonment: Ren/Kyuta's mother died before the events of the story, while his father divorced her some time before her death. It turns out Ren's father wasn't informed of what had happened to Ren's mother until after his son had already disappeared into JÅ«tengai and spent years searching for him even after the police had given up. They reconnect at the end. | |

Not Drawn to Scale | |
The Boy and the Beast / int_37ea4a73 | comment |
Not Drawn to Scale: Kumatetsu doesn't have a consistent body type. Sometimes, he has a body of a chubby and buff young adult, other times he has a body of a pro wrestler, and sometimes he has a body of a skinny fit man. Part of this has to do with the fact that the movie takes place over several years, as well as the fact that his body shape changes as he releases more power, but still. | |

Bittersweet Ending: Ichirouhiko is reunited with his adoptive family, and will presumably make peace with his origins. Kyuta/Ren decides to leave the magical realm for good and Kumatetsu willingly turned himself into a sword to save his surrogate son. Even so, the two will always be together, as Kumatetsu now lives inside of Kyuta as a God, plus Kyuta/Ren now has his relationships with his father and Kaede, so he won't be alone. | |

All of the Other Reindeer: When Kyuta first arrives in the beast world, many of the residents, especially Tatara, Ichirohiko and Jirohiko, initially consider him a social doormat due to him being from the human world. A line from some of the delinquent girls implies that Kaede is a social doormat, or at least, no one from her class likes talking to her. But along came Kyuta, who scared the delinquents out of their minds and rescued Kaede. | |

Heroic Sacrifice: Attempted by Kyuta at the end of the film. His final option to fight a berserk Ichirouhiko was to open his own void, absorbing Ichirouhiko’s darkness in the process. He would then stab himself. However... Kumatetsu, barely able to walk, demands the Lord transfer the position of Lord to him now, as well as give up his right to reincarnate as a god, so Kumatetsu instead can reincarnate himself as an artefact spirit in the form of a sword to save Kyuta from the berserk Ichirouhiko. He succeeds not only saving Kyuta's life but sparing Ichirouhiko's as well. | |

His two children, Jiroumaru (red) and Ichirouhiko (blue) contrast each other like this as well. May also apply to Tatara and Hyakushubou, who would be red and blue respectively. | |

Recycled Premise | |
The Boy and the Beast / int_a6fa41b | comment |
Recycled Premise: A child accidentally discovers a parallel magical world where the ruler of said world lets them stay, despite everyone hating humans. They work and live there for a while and eventually face the dilemma of returning to the normal human world. Someone close to them gives them a small band to wear in order to make sure they remember who they are. That doesn't sound anything like Spirited Away, nope not at all. There are differences between the movies but you have to admit, they are similar. | |

Irony | |
The Boy and the Beast / int_c335b9ec | comment |
Irony: When he first enters the beast world, an overwhelmed Ren runs about on fours in a panic. It doesn't get anymore ironic than a human boy running about on all fours like a critter, whilst in a world full of anthropomorphic animals on two legs. | |

You Are Not Alone | |
The Boy and the Beast / int_d44ea142 | comment |
You Are Not Alone: When Kyuta is almost overwhelmed by the void after rejecting both his biological father and Kumatetsu, Kaede gives him a Cooldown Hug and reassures him that other people (including her) share his feelings of rage, loss, and resentment. Ultimately, this is a major difference between Kyuta and Ichirouhiko, as the latter never had anyone to share his feelings with. | |

You Are Number 6: The reason Kyuta got his nickname was because he was nine years old at the time (and refused to tell Kumatetsu his real one). When he turns 17 Kumatetsu jokes that now he should be called "Jyuunanata". | |
