Mama! Sosuke.

Ponyo!

You don’t have to swim.

I don’t know why we’re here.

So this is Sosuke. How do you do?

Are you Ponyo’s mother? Yes.

You brought my daughter safely here.

Shh! Thank you.

Sosuke, Ponyo opened a magic well, because she wants very much to be human, to become a real girl.

She needs you to accept and love her as she truly is.

You know that Ponyo was a fish, don’t you?

Mmhm.

And you know her as a human.

Your drop of blood did that. Oh, that’s it!

I cut my thumb. Then Ponyo licked it and made it better.

So that’s how she changed into a human.

Could you love her if she moved between two worlds?

Mmhm. I love all the Ponyos.

It’s a big responsibility, but I really love her.

Ooh!

Ponyo, come here, please.

Ponyo, Sosuke has promised to accept you as you are.

To become human, you must choose to abandon magic.

Can you do that? Mmhm.

Kiss the bubble, child, when you return to land, and Ponyo will become a girl, growing up just like you.

I accept, Ponyo.

Thank you very much, Ponyo’s mother.

Everyone, the balance of nature is restored.

Life begins again.

I’m so proud!

My Sosuke.

Good luck, Lisa. Thank you.

I’ll take care of her.

There you are! Are you all right?

Wait, let me get your wheelchairs!

Don’t bother, Shimasan. We like to walk.

Life begins again.

This is yours, I believe.

Thank you. Try to remember me kindly.

If you will. May I?

Take care of Ponyo.

It’s your father!

Koichi! Hi!

Over here!

Ah! Lisa and Sosuke!

Ahoy!

Look, Ponyo, there’s my dad’s ship!
