Due to the complexity and huge content of the comic version, it is difficult to fit into a two-hour movie, and the film's adaptation script has not yet been decided. Under time constraints, Miyazaki had to decide to enter the painting stage first. In the absence of a script, the construction of the film is completed directly through the storyboard (or sub-shot). The story of the final movie "Nausicaä" is taken from the first half of the first and second volumes of the manga version. The important character "earth ghost" in the comic did not appear in the movie version due to space limitations. The villain in the movie is therefore replaced by Kushana from Torumekia, but Kushana in the comics is not a villain. Nausicaa is located in the Valley of the Wind, which is an ancient ally with Torumekia.
