Weathering with You - Movie Quotes

Memorable Quotes

Who cares if we don't see the sun shine ever again? I want you more than any blue sky. The weather can go crazy.

— Hodaka Morishima

Context:

Hodaka says this to Hina in the spirit world above the clouds as he rescues her from her sacrificial fate. He is convincing her to return with him, knowing that doing so will cause the endless rain to resume, but choosing her life over everything else.

Meaning:

This is the film's defining quote, encapsulating its core theme. It is Hodaka's ultimate rejection of the idea that Hina must be sacrificed for the 'greater good.' He declares that his personal connection with her is more valuable than a perfect world, a radical and deeply romantic statement of defiance against fate and societal expectations.

Dear God, if you exist, please don't take anything more, and don't give anything more.

— Hodaka Morishima

Context:

Hodaka thinks this to himself during a happy, quiet moment in a hotel room with Hina and her brother Nagi, where they are hiding from the police and the storm. They are celebrating their successful business and enjoying a temporary sense of normalcy and family.

Meaning:

This quote reflects a moment of perfect, fleeting happiness and the deep-seated fear of losing it. Having finally found a makeshift family with Hina and Nagi, Hodaka is overwhelmed with contentment and prays not for more good fortune, but for the preservation of what he has, showing his deep appreciation for this fragile moment of peace.

On that day, we did change the world.

— Hodaka Morishima

Context:

This is part of Hodaka's closing narration, three years after the main events. He has returned to a permanently flooded Tokyo and is about to reunite with Hina. He reflects on their journey and the outcome of their decision, concluding that their choice was deliberate and meaningful.

Meaning:

This is Hodaka's final realization at the end of the film. He refutes the idea that the world was always this way and that their actions didn't matter. He takes ownership of his choice, acknowledging that his decision to save Hina had immense, world-altering consequences. It's a statement of acceptance and responsibility for the world he chose to create with her.
