Line 163:
* [[A Rare Sentence]]: "A rare '''statement'''" are the words RDML Abel uses in Chapter 10 regarding China providing fire support in aid of Japanese forces.
* [[Reality Ensues]]:
** A small town in the middle of nowhere with less than a percentage point of its country's population just isn't going to be missed by the world at large, no matter how exotic the cause of its disappearance or affected the former inhabitants are.
** Some of the difficulty conventional forces have combating abyssals arises from the fact that normal antiship weapons aren't meant to hit human-sized targets whose [[Super Toughness]] means direct hits are needed.
** Ayaka has had less than two months of admittedly intensive training by the time of her first mission and no prior experience with fighting. She takes quite badly the suffering of what would have been serious wounds for a normal human.
** Averting [[Rock Beats Laser]], anti-abyssal guerillas are not having a good time; unlike normal human invaders, even the weakest PT Imp is [[Immune to Bullets]] and retaliates with heavy weapons that will tear a tree in half, never mind a man. Anything that does work, the abyssals have the numbers to push through, and their not having a civilian populace to be [[Slave to PR]] to means that they have no rules of engagement forcing them to play nice with humanity.
** William D Porter being a clumsy, fratricidal [[The Jinx]] is not [[Played for Laughs]] like in most other ''[[Kantai Collection]]'' stories, but instead results in her being [[The Millstone]], [[The Friend Nobody Likes]], and developing suicidal ideation from the guilt of her repeated wrongs however accidental.
** People don't universally react to an [[Inhumanly Beautiful Race]] with attraction or desire. Some have [[Uncanny Valley]] reactions.
** [[A Man Is Always Eager]]? No. When Ayaka turns out to be an [[Insatiable Newlyweds|Insatiable Newlywed]] whose newfound postmarital hunger drives her into [[Making Love in All the Wrong Places]], Uileag is more than a little disturbed and reluctant.
* [[Recap Episode]]: A large part of Chapter Four is dedicated to covering the events of ''Your Name'' as Ayaka regains her memories of them in-universe.
* [[Running Gag]]:
** Ayaka being described as a giant beanstalk.
** [[X-COM (Video Game)|"CLOSE RANGE?"]] (Allcaps mandatory)
** People expecting the canonical depiction of Iowa.
* [[Sacrificial Lion]]: {{spoiler|Takanami}} is a major occupant of Naganami's orbit, spends several scenes together with her, and is the first shipgirl to sink a decently large number of chapters in.
* [[Snow Means Death]]: In Chapter 37, it is snowing as {{spoiler|Ayaka has a premortem conversation with Uileag.}}
