Line 22:
* [[The Blank]]: Jets that use the COFFIN system typically have no outwardly-visible cockpit.
* [[Brain Uploading]]: Sublimation is the process of uploading a human consciousness into the Electrosphere. {{spoiler|Known successes include Abyssal Dision and Cynthia Fitzgerald.}}
* [[Call a Rabbit a Smeerp]] : The [[Title Drop|Electrosphere]] is Strangereal's version of our Internet (well, at least of its futuristic counterpart, anyway).
* [[The Chessmaster]]: {{spoiler|Park}}. This shouldn't come as ''too'' much of a surprise, though, considering how fishy he acts in general and the fact that [[Trailers Always Spoil|he's playing chess of all things in the Japanese intro video]], but other than the dead giveaways, it's supposed to be revealed slowly.
** More than that is Dision himself. {{spoiler|Not only he tried engineering you to join GR, he's also the head of Ouroboros, assisted Park with his scheme to usurp control of UPEO, offs his own company's CEO, and basically grooming Rena to be the perfect [[Tyke Bomb]].}}
Line 28:
* [[Continuity Cameo]]: Before being really popular in [[Ace Combat 5 The Unsung War]], Kei Nagase makes an appearance as a member of Ouroboros in a news broadcast. You need to take a particular route (specifically, Neucom/Fiona route) to view it though.
* [[Cut Song]]: The Japanese version does not use the Briefing theme specifically composed for this game. Only the US version does, which is probably the only good thing about the otherwise Macekred edition.
* [[Cutting Off the Branches]]: Subverted, as Namco never confirmed which ending (if any) was canon. After jumping from 2040 back to 2004 in ''[[Ace Combat 04 Shattered Skies]]'' (and even to 1995 in ''[[Ace Combat Zero]]''), the series took the [[The Slow Path]] back, slowly approaching the ''Electrosphere'' times... and then, just before running out of options and making a canon sequel to ''AC3'' (the [[Ace Combat Xi|most recent Strangereal game]] was set in 2020), Namco instead relaunched the series on Earth with ''[[Ace Combat: Assault Horizon]]''.
* [[Dead All Along]]: {{spoiler|Abyssal Dision. Shortly before her death, Yoko Inoue copied Human!Dision's consciousness into the Electrosphere, creating the self-aware AI!Dision, the first ever human to be Sublimed. Before she realized it, however, she and Human!Dision were killed by a bomb and their laboratory destroyed along with their research.}}
* [[The Dog Bites Back]]: Cynthia, having been fed up by Dision's propaganda, abject lack of respect for her and his doting on Rena, decides to do this.
