* AnAesop: Shiro's sombre and humanistic plea to the world while in orbit has the message that all humans share the same world and need to respect it and all its inhabitants in a more mature way. Hey, that's also the message of the movie!

* NearRapeExperience: In what may be the film's most shocking scene, Shiro momentarily becomes lustful of Riquinni and nearly rapes her, but he stops himself when he notices the terror in her eyes. (She knocks him out by [[TapOnTheHead smashing an urn on his head]].) The next morning, when Shiro tries to apologize, Riquinni instead [[ExtremeDoormat begs Shiro to forgive]] ''[[ExtremeDoormat her]]'' [[ExtremeDoormat for defending herself!]] It seems these scenes were done to hammer the point home that Shiro was ([[LoveRedeems until then]]) [[ItsAllAboutMe still a self-absorbed asshole]], who ultimately just wanted to take advantage of her. Given how we see him being shocked by her apology and the positive changes in his behaviour (both towards [[AbsenceMakesTheHeartGoYonder Riquini]] and his work) that follow, the scenes were hardly meant as just a pure BigLippedAlligatorMoment, but more of AnAesop.

Cool Guns has been disambiguated.

* CoolGuns: The silenced pistol of the assassin sent to kill Shiro. Not only is it silent but in order to load every shot the user must lean the gun backwards (so the gun will open by itself, ejecting the spent cartridge) and then lean the gun forward again (so the action will go back to its firing position). Its apparent case of AwesomeButImpractical is offset by the fact the assassin is [[TheDeterminator absurdly dogged in his chase.]]

* TheFundamentalist: Riquinni is fervently religious and spends most of her time proselytizing, and Shiro first meets her while she's delivering pamphlets on the street. Though he patronizes her in order to get close to her, he never quite becomes a believer, though her dedication and earnestness lead him to help her eventually, and even better himself.

On second examination, no one member was really YMO's frontman per say, given the band's nature as a supergroup.

* LoveRedeems: More of a downplayed, nuanced example. A key turning point in Shiro's ongoing character development is when he realizes he's gone from an idealistic kid to an apathetic and rather sleazy-minded young man. He started to take Riquinni's friendship with him for granted and failed to acknowledge she seems to prefer him more as a platonic friend. This leads to growing tension between them and culminates in an ugly moment of awful behaviour by Shiro, something he regrets immediately. After Riquinni doesn't want to bring up said moment, despite his honest attempts at apologizing, he realizes just how unfair he's been to her and what his attitudes to women were like. He does love her, but he was a selfish young man trying to mimic the bravado of others. He becomes a more caring and kinder person afterward, something Riquinni herself notices. While the ending of the story is unclear whether the two of them will ever meet again in the future, Shiro's experiences with Riquinni still led him to reexamine his life and become a better person. The Shiro speaking from orbit at the end is definitely a changed and more considerate person than the one from earlier in the story. Despite seeming more passive and stagnant from the outside, Riquinni also seems a bit different by the end, as Shiro's talk about the Space Force and humans going to space gave her new hope for humanity.

** AlternateTechline: Much of the mid-20th century style technology is functionally believable, but its design philosophy is often subtly different to how we'd do things in the real world of the same era. One example out of many: The cathode ray tubes of televisions are entirely circular, with all television's shown with circular screens.

Added DiffLines:
* GreyAndGreyMorality: Omnipresent. Given the slice-of-life and down-to-earth approach of the story, neither the societies nor the individual characters shown can be said to be unambiguously good or evil. Honneamise is threatened militarily by the Republic, but Honneamise has an often ineffectual and corrupt government, as well as socio-economic issues with poverty and unequal treatment of men and women (likely the same in other countries as well). Shiro and Riquinni ellicit a lot of sympathy, but both of them have their issues. Shiro is more of an AntiHero for much of the story, trying to hide his disappointment at not fulfilling his childhood dreams under bravado, until he gradually becomes more mellow, caring and considerate. Riquinni is a very kind person, but also a bit naive at times and something of a PrinciplesZealot when it comes to her pacifistic faith. Both of them have their moments of hypocrisy as well. They're not bad people at heart, but they do have their issues, to say the least. The [[spoiler:symbolic "history of the world" montage]] that appears near the end of the film also highlights that the humans of this world are as equally fallible and noble as the humans of our world. Even a milestone as wonderful as the first manned flight into space was beset by an accompanying crisis and fighting that left people dead. [[spoiler:Shiro's sombre adress from orbit to the planet below, pleading for a more peaceful coexistence, comes across as full of humility and very humanist in its spirit.]]
