Line 41:
* [[Asian Gal with White Guy]]: Japanese American Ayaka and Irish American Uileag. He also previously had a crush on and failed date with his Japanese senior at work. It's left ambiguous whether he has a type, though, or it's just proximity considering that his besties, in the apparent absence of additional [[Race Lift]] from canon, are also Japanese.
* [[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!"
* [[Beauty Is Never Tarnished]]: Averted; shipgirls get wounded, even to bloody and limb-losing extents. {{spoiler|Ayaka gets a scar going diagonally across her face as a result of the events of Chapter 36.}}
* [[Being Human Sucks]]: Various Summoned/Manifested shipgirls feel that growing more attuned to humanity, which makes them vulnerable to emotional foibles and suffer longer, is not worth it.
* [[Big Eater]]: Shipgirls regularly eat several times the amount normal humans do, although not to the full hundreds or thousands that their crews would have consumed previously.
Line 75 ⟶ 76:
** Chapter 34 takes the perspective of Shizuka Minami, the admiral in charge of Yokosuka's shipgirl flotilla, following the events of the previous two chapters.
** Chapter 35 is a three-in-one, starting with the heads of the various countries' shipgirl forces having a conference on the events of 32 and 33, then a discussion between Ichiyo and a director of BERND, before ending with an attack by abyssal leaders.
* [[Death by Disfigurement]]: In the original universe, {{spoiler|Ayaka succumbs to damage that includes a facial scar.}}
* [[Death Notification]]: {{spoiler|Chapter 38 ends on the door-knocking just before one is delivered. In the bad ending depicted in Chapter 39, it was played straight, but in the alternate universe starting from 40, it is "only" telling of Ayaka's severe injury.}}
* [[Death Seeker]]: As of Chapter 39, {{spoiler|Uileag spent some time as this after Ayaka's death.}}
Line 129 ⟶ 131:
** The American version of the summoning speech, as shown in Chapter 22, combines and adapts the Day of Infamy speech, Declaration of Independence, and Gettysburg Address.
** As introduced in Chapter 33 and confirmed in the relevant art, the way {{spoiler|a sinking shipgirl disintegrates into [[Cherry Blossoms]] and [[Disappears Into Light]]}} is based on ''[[Your Lie in April]]''.
** In Chapter 36, a character close to the protagonist makes a [[Heroic Sacrifice]] while saying "It's my turn now. I hope you don't mind" and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4rtcJnRd6s Nightglow] is playing. {{spoiler|Himeko}} from ''[[Honkai Impact 3rd]]'' or {{Yamashiro}} here?
** In Chapter 37, some of {{spoiler|the last words of Uileag to Ayaka in this bad ending}} mirror what Kousei says to Kaori, also from ''[[Your Lie in April]]''.
* [[Horror Hunger]]: Early on after realising her true nature, Ayaka grapples with a newfound unrelenting desire for semen as the most effective source of manpower and mana, which she desperately holds at bay with doubled prayer and ritual. She comes to learn that it's a common issue across all shipgirls courtesy of their sort of [[Enemy Within]], one that most of them happily indulge. That at least some of the few fellow resisters use the consumption of blood as a kind of second-best mystical nicotine replacement therapy doesn't allay her fears. She eventually lets herself go after marrying Uileag, though the boyfriend-turned-husband is understandably concerned about her enthusiasm.
