The scene feels like one of the most starkly autobiographical elements of The Boy and the Heron, depicting war and violence in 1943 Tokyo with dark visuals not seen before in Miyazaki's filmography.
Concern for Miyazaki's mother, like Mahito's, is depicted in the film, but while Mahito's mother dies in the scene, Miyazaki's mother lived long enough to witness his animation career.
