=== ''Battle Fantasia Project'' provides examples of: ===

** To elaborate: ''[[Strike Witches]]'' is more or less directly imported from the alternate 1940s setting it takes place in, with the Neuroi being among the numerous extradimensional invaders harassing Earth and the Striker Units being the military's attempts to subvert [[Police Are Useless]] via [[Magitek]]. ''[[Infinite Stratos]]'', likewise, covers life at a magic academy [[Nanoha Striker S|where Nanoha is one of the top combat instructors]], with the IS units being Earth-produced devices reverse-engineered from Belkan and Mid-Childan tech.

* [[A Tragedy of Impulsiveness]]: Lindy ''told'' them not to charge into uncharted enemy territory. {{spoiler|Didn't she Nanoha and Signum? Akiko faced these guys for ''four years'' and it results in her attempting to commit suicide? Did you ''really'' think you could wipe them out in one hit?}}

* [[Car Fu]]: Akiko [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|resorts to this]] in a prequel Snip, using a cement truck and a tank of gasoline to kill a monster which is resistant to her magic. [http://forums.spacebattles.com/showpost.php?p=5731326&postcount=1614 Observe.]

* [[Catch Phrase]]: For the Alliance, "You are not alone". The thread itself also has the unofficial motto '''''"[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica|INCUBATOR MUST DIE!!!]]"'''''

* [[Dream Within a Dream]]: The method by which the Nightmare Factory trick Signum into basically revealing everything she knows about the [[Lyrical Nanoha]] crew.

* [[Driven to Suicide]]: Akiko right at the start. She gets better.

* [[Enemy Without]]: The Nightmare Factory makes a point of manufacturing these things as part of their modus operandi, but only one has any real plot significance. Unfortunately, that enemy is {{spoiler|Dark Nanoha}}. ''[[Oh Crap|Both of them]]''.

* [[Hannibal Lecture]]: One of the tools favoured by the Nightmare Factory.

** The Factory's success rate with this tactic tends to vary depending on how at peace their target is with themselves. The Senshi and [[Black Rock Shooter|Team Black Rock]], having faced their fears many times before, can [[No Sell]] them and turn the tables on their attackers with no problem. Nanoha on the other hand...

* [[Immune to Bullets]]: Double subverted. Small arms can work against mooks, but [[Monster of the Week|Monsters Of The Week]] need tank-killing or anti-structural munitions - a bad idea in [[Urban Warfare]] - while top-tier enemies and [[Eldritch Abomination|Eldritch Abominations]] require magic to hurt them at all.

** Two of the [[Sailor Moon|Outer Senshi]] go to America to help a suspected Magical Girl... Well... Just look at what trope this is listed under.

* [[Magical Girl]]: OF COURSE!

* [[Mega Crossover]]: Far too many series to list them all exhaustively, but for a quick sample of some of the core series:

** [[Black Rock Shooter]] (OVA and using elements from a [[Recursive Fanfiction|fanmade]] [[Tabletop Game]])

** [[Lyrical Nanoha]]

** [[Pretty Cure]]

** [[Pretty Sammy]]

** [[Ronin Warriors]]

** [[Sailor Nothing]]

* [[Multinational Team]]

* [[Shared Universe]]

* [[Stealth Hi Bye]]: Gamlain's take on [[Sailor Moon|Tuxedo Mask]] is fond of using this trick.

** Also played straight in the case of Strength and the rest of the [[Black Rock Shooter]] girls, though, who've already dealt with most of their issues in advance and can completely [[No Sell]] the Nightmare Factory's attempts to [[Hannibal Lecture]] them.

* [[The Unmasqued World]]: The premise.

* [[Weak but Skilled]]: The Nightmare Factory is no match for high-powered girls like Nanoha and Signum in terms of pure firepower, but they manage to make themselves a threat by using psychological warfare and weaponized [[High Octane Nightmare Fuel]]. Akiko herself, having missed quite a few powerups due to her familiar's early passing, has also had to fight in... unorthodox manners.
