Line 58:
* [[Death Seeker]]: As of Chapter 39, {{spoiler|Uileag spent some time as this after Ayaka's death.}}
* [[Disappears Into Light]]: As introduced in Chapter 33, {{spoiler|a sinking shipgirl starts glowing and disintegrates into [[Cherry Blossoms]].}} The attached art states it to be a [[Homage]] to ''[[Your Lie in April]]''.
* [[Dissonant Serenity]]: In Chapter 12, "chilling calm" are the words used to describe Yorktown chewing out Willie D for a big screwup. Hammann's mannerisms while hoping that [[Deadly Euphemism|"the problem sorts itself out"]] are also called "utterly matter-of-fact" and "chilling".
* [[Distant Finale]]: Chapter 39 takes place nine years after 38.
* [[Downer Ending]]: The bad ending depicted in Chapter 39 by way of inverting [[Only the Leads Get a Happy Ending]]. {{spoiler|Humanity has won the war, but at the cost of 500 million dead. Ayaka dies. Even nine years later, both her family and Uileag are still suffering the effects of her loss.}}
Line 86:
* [[Fusion Fic]]: This world sees the events of an [[Alternate Universe]] ''[[Your Name]]'' happen in the backstory and it progresses into the abyssal attacks and returning shipgirls of ''[[Kantai Collection]]''.
* [[Godzilla Threshold]]: After the initial abyssal attacks on China out of the Yellow Sea penetrated deeply enough inland to do damage to Beijing, fatally wounding none less than the then-president, the dying man told the PLA to do whatever it took to defend the people. They turned to the [[Nuclear Option]] and succeeded. The idea of a LAMP RUB<ref>As in to summon a [[wikipedia:AIR-2 Genie|Genie]]</ref> comes up a few times later as a kind of [[Black Comedy]] [[Running Gag]], only to be used for real in Chapter 36. {{spoiler|With a massive abyssal air attack underway that a human armada has been forced to retreat from, the PLARF CO is brought to the realization that nukes are the only way to drive off the attackers before they sink the armada and turn their attention to Chinese cities once again.}}
* [[Gory Discretion Shot]]: What exactly happened to a would-be mugger in Chapter 40 is left ambiguous. Uileag only notices some kind of distant mess and red stains around Ayaka's mouth.
* [[He Who Fights Monsters]]: The abyssals want to genocide Japan to avenge the 30 million dead and war crimes. Bad enough. They also want to exterminate the USA for failing to exterminate Japan the last time, and see any other country that fought in World War II but is now helping Japan as [[Les Collaborateurs]] who must also be destroyed unless it does a [[Heel Face Turn]] (from their perspective) and turns against Japan.
* [[Heroic Safe Mode]]: Ayaka spends most of Chapter 40 in one following the events of the preceding chapters. {{spoiler|Naganami has been in one the whole time she's been around, at least until Chapter 33 when a fresh source of trauma springs a [[Tomato Surprise]] and causes her to regain her original personality, but also pushes her into [[Heroic BSOD]] instead.}}
* [[History Repeats]]:
** Once again, an attack on Pearl Harbor is begun with a command to climb a mountain.
Line 151 ⟶ 153:
** In Chapter 41, {{spoiler|Ayaka is passed a set of tassels from now-sunken Yamashiro's spares.}}
* [[Translation Convention]]: Various bilingual or multilingual characters exist, including all shipgirls, and their use of non-English languages is mostly rendered as English in curly brackets instead of quotes.
* [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future]]:
** Practical holograms and [[Holographic Interface]]s are mentioned at various points.
** It is said that 4Ks are now common, with 8Ks taking their old place.
* [[Uncanny Valley]]:
** Most Summoned/Manifested shipgirls are inhumanly mechanical and precise in their motions, to the discomfort of observant humans. Also inverted in that they find Natural Borns too human.
