We see Mitsuha warfare in her sleep. She calls out to Taki, asking him if he recollects.

Mitsuha wakes up. However it isn't always her virtually. It is Taki, who's freaked out to be in a women frame (although not above copping a feel on Mitsuha's breasts).

Going downstairs, apparently again to her regular self, Mitsuha eats with, Hitoha, who's their grandmother and guardian. Hitoha and Yotsuha be aware that Mitsuha have been performing bizarre the day before. They watch a broadcast that notes that a comet no longer visible for over one thousand years might be capable of be seen in the sky in a months time.

Mitsuha walks to school and meets up along with her buddies Katsuhiko and Sayaka. As they walk, they see a campaign speech with the aid of the nearby mayor, who's up for reelection. As she walks with the aid of, the man screams at Mitsuha to arise immediately. We realise that the mayor is absolutely Mitsuhas father, estranged from the relaxation of the circle of relatives for unknown reasons.

At school, Mitsuha flips via a notebook, and finds a word. It reads, "who are You?"

Later, Mitsuha learns that the day earlier than she had forgotten her school room and where her locker became. This statistics shocks and surprises her. Sayaka chalks it as much as pressure Mitsuha is below to carry out a Miko ritual for the own family shrine, some thing Mitsuha would not need to be reminded of. As the 3 walk domestic, they bemoan how small their city of Itomori is; there are not any restaurants, bookstores, or social scene.

Katsuhiko indicates they visit a café. The women scream out excited. In actuality, it's miles just a vending machine close by a park bench. Mitsuha is going home, leaving Sayaka with Katsuhiko. Sayaka asks him about his future plans. Katsuhiko says he's going to maximum in all likelihood simply live on the town like he always has after commencement.

Mitsuha, Yotsuha, and Hitoha practice the art of Kumihimo (braid making). Hitoha tells them the importance of what they may be creating.

The mayor meets with Katsuhiko's father, who is part of the neighborhood creation union, which will get the assist of his guys for the upcoming election. Katsuhiko is instructed through his father that he's going to paintings with them the following weekend to his annoyance.

The following night, Mitsuha and Yotsuha perform the ritual for his or her shrine with includes ritualized dancing and the introduction of Kuchikamizake; a sake in which someone chews rice into a paste and spits it back right into a bowl, allowing it to ferment into alcohol. Some of Mitsuhas classmates walk with the aid of the ritual and ridicule her, to her annoyance.

As they walk home Yotsuha tells her large sister not to take it so individually, but Mitsuha is losing persistence with her existence. "I hate this city!" she screams out. "I hate this lifestyles! Please make me a good-looking Tokyo boy in my next life!"

Day after today, Mitsuha wakes up but not as herself. She is in Taki's body. She is quite disturbed to be a boy and all that includes bodily. Finding out she has overslept, she quick receives dressed and heads out, unexpectedly struck that she is in the end taking walks around Tokyo. Mitsuha (as Taki) arrives to school hours overdue and is accosted by way of his buddies Shinta and Tsukasa, who be aware that Taki has been appearing weird as properly. They endorse going to a café, and Mitsuha conveniently concurs as there are none wherein she lives. Getting a call on Taki's cellphone, she realizes Taki has a process at a eating place and she is going to be late.

Mitsuha is going to paintings however being Taki is tougher than it looks. She is unprepared to work in a eating place, making mistakes all night. It subsequently comes to a head, whilst a person attempts to con the area free of charge meals. Mitsuha is beaten and while the man wants to pick a fight, Taki's older co-employee Ms. Okudera comes over and handles the state of affairs, although the man cuts her skirt with a field cutter out of spite.

Later, Okudera tells Taki that she accompanied the handbook to handle the situation although she needed she may want to have executed some thing more excessive to the person who became sincerely conning the eating place. Noticing the cut in Ms. Okuderas skirt, Mitsuha gives to restoration it. Ms. Okudera is charmed by this, pronouncing Takis has been changing currently, and she or he is charmed that he now has a feminine side.

Day after today, Taki is back to regular and knows not anything of yesterday. The group of workers he works with desires to know extra information along with his relationship with Ms. Okudera, but he has no idea what they may be speakme approximately. Ms. Okudera is available in and tells them all to have an amazing day, winking at Taki, which makes him blush.

By this point, Taki and Mitsuha understand their body switching dreams are without a doubt going on, and take steps to assist out every different if they transfer bodies. Writing notes to every different on their clever phones, and in notebooks, they every set floor rules so that they do not step on each others feet. Mitsuhas policies are greater concerned with etiquette, no longer having him taking showers as her (so hell see her bare) and different social cues. Taki gives her tips on his activity and tells her now not to blow all his tough earned cash on candies, which simplest makes him should take greater shifts on the restaurant.

In spite of seeking to play best, both cant assist but have a bit amusing at the others expense. Taki makes some human beings fall in love with Mitsuha at college while Mitsuha flirts with Ms. Okudera, giving Taki a real shot together with her. Both of them are furious with the others meddling, both noting that, I dont need a dating!

Someday, Taki switches with Mitsuha on a weekend day. It turns out to be the day Mitsuha, Hitoha, and Yotsuha are touring to the circle of relatives shrine far into the forest. Whilst they stroll, Hitoha talks to them about the idea of a union; whether it is a braid they created, time itself, or even taking a drink, unions are made every day.

The 3 make it to the shrine and make an offering of the sake they made throughout the ritual.

Taki wakes up. Checking his smartphone, he notices a text from Ms. Okudera, saying she cant wait to fulfill him. Stressed, he assessments the notes in his phone, and realized that Mitsuha had set him up on a date with Ms. Okudera.15 mins from then. Taki quickly gets dressed and races out of his house, racing to fulfill her.

Meanwhile, Mitsuha receives geared up for her day, the usage of her braid to tie up her hair. She realizes Taki and Ms. Okudera are most probable on their date at that second. She seems into the reflect and sees that she is crying. She is surprised at the start however then realizes the truth; she wanted to have that date with Taki herself. Strive as she may additionally, she is starting to fall for a boy she has in no way met.

Taki meets up with Ms. Okudera and go to a pleasant, if steeply-priced restaurant. Even though they each percentage a mutual weigh down, Taki is worried and unsure how to act. His mind is elsewhere. At one factor, they take a look at a photo show, and Taki is taken by a set of shots that remind him of Mitsuhas metropolis. Ms. Okudera comes as much as him and pointedly states she have become greater drawn to him once he beginning performing peculiar, but he has changed again. He has turn out to be a person else. Later, Taki tries to extend the date but Ms. Okudera declines. She notes this is clear that Taki has a weigh down on a person else; that is why he's acting so extraordinary.

Taki, you make a decision, tries to name Mitsuha.

Again in Itomori, Mitsuha cuts her hair. She goes to the neighborhood town festival together with her friends. The comet finally will become visible, and in a area, Mitsuha stares in awe. She sees a part of the comet break off and fall. Her eyes widen

Lower back in Tokyo, Taki is sad whilst the call can't be connected. He desires they might switch once more, but after that night time, it by no means occurred once more.

Days skip, and Taki is going through the motions. He starts offevolved to comic strip Itomori from reminiscence, trying desperately to parent out in which she lives, with little good fortune. In the future, he makes a decision to leave the metropolis to discover the city and eventually meet Mitsuha. Tagging alongside are Ms. Okudera and Tsukasa, who are there for moral aid. They're curious and charmed with the aid of Takis thriller girl, whilst Taki should be coy approximately how he met her.

The trio travel many locations but no person is aware of the town Taki has drawn. About to surrender, Taki and his pals prevent at a nearby eating place. The owner recognizes the location as Itomori, but while Taki asks how a long way away it's miles, the proprietor goes silent for a second before explaining three years earlier than the metropolis turned into destroyed by way of a comet fragment, killing over 500 people.

Taki is taken to the outskirts of Itomori where he sees little left of the town. He tries to show his pals the notes Mitsuha left for him on his phone, handiest for them to disappear. He doesnt recognize what to assume.

The trio goes to a nearby library and sees the reviews about the tragedy and the list of the lifeless. Mitsuha, her sister, and her pals are a number of the dead. Taki is stunned and heartbroken; he is come what may related to a useless lady, who died three years in the past.

The 3 get a lodge room for the night. Tsukasa asks Ms. Okuderas opinion on Takis recent conduct and what he claims approximately Mitsuha. Ms. Okudera, at the same time as admitting it's miles all atypical, notes she always determined Taki to be exceptional, but he have become even a better character due to this female.

Later that night, Ms. Okudera and Taki talk. She notices a braid on Takis wrist. Taki says he were given a few years in the past, but he doesn't keep in mind who gave it to him or why, although he wears it frequently for suitable good fortune.

As he sleeps, Mitsuha calls out to him to recollect.

The next morning, Ms. Okudera wakes up to discover a be aware from Taki to inform them to move domestic with out him. He has to move someplace first.

Taki travels to Itomori, and reveals his way to the shrine of Mitsuhas family, nonetheless intact. He travels interior and reveals the sake Mitsuha and her sister left. Taki thinks if he liquids some of her sake, he could make one remaining connection and possibly store her.

Taki liquids some, but as he stands up, he trips and falls. As he does, he's taking a journey, and sees all of Mitsuha's life; her delivery, happiness along with her dad and mom, the birth of her sister, the contamination and loss of life of her mother, her fathers abandonment of the circle of relatives and his obligations, her grandmother worrying for them, and her death with the aid of the comet.

Taki wakes up in Mitsuha's body. He realizes he has one last risk. Seeing the tv, he realizes it's far the day of the comet, and the towns destruction. Trying to speak to Hitoha, Hitoha realizes that someone else inhabits her granddaughter, as she had a similar phenomenon show up to her while she was younger. Taki wonders if Mitsuhas own family line had these connections. Taki (as Mitsuha) tells Hitoha about the comet however is instructed no person will believe them.

Undeterred, Taki unearths Mitsuha's buddies Katsuhiko and Sayaka and inform them what will happen. Despite doubting what they had been advised, they consider her sufficient to help. They make a plan to knock out the towns electricity with explosives taken from Katsuhiko's father's creation employer. Sayaka then gets on the emergency broadcast station and inform every body to evacuate to the school, nicely out of the blast radius of the comet. But, they may want to persuade the mayor, Mitsuhas father, of the severity.

Taki is going to Mitsuha's father, however all of the guy can see is that his daughter has long gone insane and orders her to look a health practitioner. Enraged, Taki grabs him by means of the tie and screams, You son of a---however they each prevent. Who're you? Mitsuhas father asks, additionally in view that his daughter is not status before him. Despite the fact that, the caution falls on deaf ears. Taki, wondering his frame with Mitsuha inner is close to the Shrine, races up there to satisfy her.

Meanwhile, Mitsuha wakes up in Taki's frame inside the modern and sees the town destroyed. Does that mean I died? She asks.

Mitsuha remembers the day she went to Tokyo, hoping to fulfill Taki, wondering that despite the fact that they were technically strangers, if they have been to satisfy, they could know their connection. Via hazard she met him at the educate, though he did now not understand her (as their connection could best begin 3 years after her loss of life). Heartbroken, she leaves the train, however Taki senses some thing and calls out to her. She takes out her braid and flings it to him, asking him to recall her name. She become the only who gave him the braid and hence connected them together.

Taki and Mitsuha eventually are on the shrine, but can't see every different, being separated with the aid of time itself. But, all through the Magic Hour in a certain spot, they can subsequently see every other, and meet for the primary time. Taki returns her braid and she ties up her hair. Taki suggests they write every different names on their fingers so that they wont overlook. Taki writes his, however while she goes to write down her call, the relationship is broken.

Taki wakes up, back in his body, on the outskirts of the still destroyed Itomori. He can not consider why he came there, or the name of a woman that haunts him. He heads home to Tokyo.

Lower back within the beyond, Mitsuha, knowing what is going to happen enacts her plan with her friends. They blow up the power grid with explosives, switching on emergency power. Sayaka then tells the complete metropolis of wooded area fires in order to get humans to the college. Although a few take heed of the caution, not sufficient human beings do. Plus, the Mayor is trying to parent out who is sending out this fake caution. Finally, Sayaka is stuck and the caution is turned off. Katsuhiko tells Mitsuha that unless she is able to convince her father, the whole lot is lost.

Mitsuha starts to run, but turns into more and more despondent as she can not remember Takis name. She journeys and falls, looking at her hand. She sees that Taki, in place of writing his name, wrote i like YOU as an alternative. Shocked and in tears, she maintains to run, before reuniting along with her father in a building.

The comet fragment still hits the metropolis, destroying it.

5 years later...

Taki has graduated from high college and college, and is now seeking to input the paintings pressure as an architect. But, his passionate and idealistic views on preserving towns in case of disasters make him look foolish to interviewers, which lead him to get few if any offers.

Taki gets a name from Ms. Okudera, asking to meet up. They seize up, and she or he mentions they day they went to Itomori. Taki says he doesnt recall plenty of that day or why he was momentarily passionate about the metropolis. It turns out that reality has modified. Mitsuha become able to convince her father of the threat. That on pinnacle of her bold plan, led to the whole metropolis to be evacuated to a place out of doors of the blast radius. The metropolis became decimated, but no one died. Nonetheless, Taki has no concept of his connection to averting a tragedy or the lady he help keep.

As they element, Ms. Okudera tells Taki that she hopes he in the future unearths happiness. Taki notes the same, even though it has felt as though he has spent years attempting to find it, longing for something, or instead someone.

In a diner, he hears a pair bicker over wedding ceremony plans. We see it's miles Sayaka and Katsuhiko, who survived way to Taki and Mitsuha. Taki feels a short-term feeling of connection, but brushes it off as not anything.

Taki, now not understanding why completely, searches the streets every day for a lady whose hair is tied up with a specific braid.

At one factor, Taki and Mitsuha cross paths in the street, however dont look back, identifying their weird emotions are not anything.

Someday, eventually, they see every different on one-of-a-kind subways. Even though they may be not sure why, they feel a connection. After you have off, they scramble across the city, attempting to find every different. Taki sees a lady on the pinnacle of a staircase and passes her by using, as she walks down. Over again, they feel a stirring and nearly ignore it yet again. But, Taki can't take it anymore and calls out to the female. It's far Mitsuha. He asks if they have met earlier than. Mitsuha looks at him with tears in her eyes. She says that she feels the identical manner. Simultaneously, they ask, "can i ask you your call?"

We're left to infer they will recover their memories and finally be collectively, in love.
