Line 20:
* [[Anyone Can Die]]: Dead major characters include {{spoiler|Takanami, Yamashiro and Ayaka herself.}}
* [[As the Good Book Says...]]: In Chapter Three, “What profit you if you save the whole world and lose your soul?!” is asked of Uileag.
* [[Atomic F-Bomb]]: Combined with [[Cluster F-Bomb]] and [[Punctuated! For! Emphasis!]], Uileag shouts in Chapter 39 that all the medals he gained were not "WORTH A DAMN! FUCKING! [[Country Matters|CUNT]]! THING!"
* [[Bloodier and Gorier]]: Canon has almost exclusively [[Clothing Damage]], very occasional blood or injury, and only abyssals suffer [[Body Horror]]. Here, however, [[Reality Ensues]] is in play regarding the effects of high-powered naval artillery and antiship bombs, and similar to ''[[Freezing]]'', [[Clothing Damage]] is not about titillation, but comes with gore, even maiming and ''[[Terminator]]''-style degloving down to the endoskeleton.
* [[The Cavalry]]: Chapter Five detours from Ayaka's POV to show the members of Amalgam Five "Gonzalez" responding to an abyssal attack.
* [[Code Emergency]]:
** In Chapter Five, the spectre of a Case Jötunn - hostile magic user - comes up but doesn't come to pass. This [[Chekhov's Gun]] doesn't get fired until Chapter 32.
** Chapter 19 brings up Case Thorsub - overwhelming air attack - which becomes an issue in Chapter 36.
** Chapter 36 also introduces Case Exarch for inter-universal attackers.
* [[Continuation]]: While there are some small changes because of the different setting, what came before is mostly adherent to what was depicted in ''[[Your Name]]''.
* [[Continuity Porn]]: There are many, many [[Call Back]]s to canon. The authors [[Shown Their Work]] on knowledge of canon, but it can be confusing to those coming in from the other fandom.
Line 54 ⟶ 59:
* [[Mama Bear]]: In Chapter Two, Uileag's mother erupts in a fierce enough motherly anger as to frighten the war-hardened senior NCO father.
* [[Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane]]: In Chapter Four, {{spoiler|Nijimi}} wonders if the wisdom she had was entirely mundane or actually of magical origin.
* [[Mythology Gag]]: In Chapter Five, Washington projects an icon of her scout plane followed by two holographic banners of her guns when entering Artillery Spotting mode, similar to in the game.
* [[Non-Fatal Explosions]]: In Chapter One, {{spoiler|Uileag gets caught in an abyssal bombing that briefly knocks him out, but he is still able-bodied enough after he regains consciousness that he can lead multiple rescue expeditions. It takes a second bombing, which has him [[Blown Across the Room]], to inflict internal injuries that lead to a month-long coma.}} One Corpsman remarks on his luck.
* [[Offscreen Moment of Awesome]]:
