Line 46:
** Justice: What is "justice"? The abyssals think they are righting a great wrong that was not adequately punished previously, but are willing to commit what an objective observer would consider at least equally great, if not worse, wrongs to do so. Compared to what their still-unrepentant targets did, though, at what point is it "going too far"?
** Legacy: For Ayaka it is the problem of living up to the example of her bloodline and (believed to be) far more capable mother. Historical baggage also affects others, as all shipgirls are moulded by the accomplishments, experiences and failings of their past lives, and so too are the abyssals driven by the need to deal with their own unfinished business.
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: In Chapter Eight, Uileag is mentioned to be holding something tightly enough as to hurt. It's later revealed to be {{spoiler|a ring}}.
* [[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.

** Starting from Chapter Six, people asking Ayaka why she doesn't look like canon!Iowa becomes a [[Running Gag]].
** Chapter Seven mentions failed experiments producing plushies of crying penguins and clouds, referring to what happens in the game when you fail a development.
** In Chapter Eight, "you can rely on me more", a catchphrase of Ikazuchi from the game, is used.
** Also in Chapter Eight, a joke is made about Hitomi being a Natural Born. As related in the authors' notes, the authors had previously noted that [https://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=61372781 the redesigned Pacific version of Yorktown resembled Sayaka.]
* [[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.
* [[Out-of-Character is Serious Business]]: Even years after the Cometfall, Ayaka still finds strange that her once staunchly exclusive grandmother is willing to consider applicants to the shrine who aren't linked to the family either by blood or marriage.
