Line 22:
** What Mitsuha was trying to write on Taki's palm in canon is a mystery. Here, it's clear that Ayaka was writing her name.
** The swapping takes place over multiple months here, as opposed to the roughly one of canon.
** Tying in ''[[The Garden of Words]]'', it is eventually revealed that the local versions of Yukari and Takao got married.
** Tying in ''[[Weathering with You]]'' is the presence of Taki/Uileag's grandmother.
** From ''[[Voices of a Distant Star]]'', {{spoiler|Naganami is actually Mikako born a generation early.}}
* [[An Arm and a Leg]]:
** Chapter Two briefly mentions missing limbs among the injuries inflicted by the first abyssal attacks.
Line 162 ⟶ 165:
* [[No Conservation of Energy]]: Shipgirls may be [[Big Eater]]s, but they don't need to eat the hundreds to thousands of men's worth of food that their ship selves' crews would have needed in order to function properly.
* [[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.
* [[Normal Fish in a Tiny Pond]]: This is used to put the abyssal threat into perspective and illustrate why the shipgirls are needed. By naval standards, a PT boat is no match for a "true" warship, being reliant on ambush tactics and numbers to prevail. Compared to humans, an abyssal PT Imp mounts heavy weapons that will tear a tree in two, never mind a man, will resist anything less, is wrapped up in an [[Enfant Terrible]]-sized package with the speed and agility of a car, and is still deployed in numbers more like infantry than ships. The second-weakest abyssal type, destroyers, all carry multiple artillery cannons and need direct hits from equivalent weapons to sink, and things only get worse for the [[Puny Earthlings]] from there. The same applies to the shipgirls opposing them; it is said in-universe that even a destroyer would easily overpower any wannabe sexual predator no matter what fancy grappling tricks might be employed, and an old battleship like Yamashiro can still pull a train or plow unstoppably through a crowd.
* [[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.
* [[The Oathbreaker]]: {{spoiler|The abyssals consider themselves this. Halsey made a promise that they couldn't fulfil, and now they're going to set things right, whatever it takes.}}
