Why do you think Porco Rosso is cursed to look like a pig? According to, he cursed himself due to disillusion of humanity. Miyazaki said that Porco once intended to marry Gina, but then World War I broke out, and Gina was living on an island which was Austrian territory. He became a bounty hunter, assuming the name “Porco Rosso”.
He quit the IFA since he saw fascism on the rise, and he wanted to fly following his own will. If you are asking for why the character is designed as a pig, but not a tanuki or whatever, it is simply because Miyazaki has some strange affection towards pigs. It seems that he finally overcame his self-hatred. This time, he won, and he did not “make another girl unhappy”. He became a pig because he was disillusioned with humanity, but Fio’s innocence made him feel that “there is still some hope for humans”, as Porco said. This fictional aircraft was based on the real-life Macchi M. Started by Josh and finished by Jeremy, this plane is called the Savoia S.
