Lyrical Nanoha/Shout-Out: Difference between revisions

** While this is less of a blatant one than the previous one, maybe you should give Zest Grangeitz a look. Now imagine what happens when you give '''[[Badass|Sanger Zonvolt, The Sword That Smites Evil!]]''' brown hair... see what I mean?

** SRW has started giving ''Nanoha'' [[Shout-Out|Shout Outs]] back - in SRWZ, the Balgora Glory's attacks suspiciously resemble Nanoha's.

* Many of the attacks and techniques in the series are homages to mecha series, notably ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam]]'' and ''[[GaoGaiGar]]''. And especially Subaru, who can be considered a moe compact-sized ''[[GaoGaiGar]]''. Her [[Transformation Sequence]] included the tornado and G Stone reveal from ''[[GaoGaiGar]]'''s Final Fusion. She also has [[GaoGaiGar]]'s [[Rocket Punch|Broken Phantom]] and Protect Shade and [[Super Robot Wars|Alteisen]]'s Revolving Stake.

* In fact, ''several'' of the characters are schoolgirl-shaped versions of various mecha. Nanoha herself is such an expy of the original RX78-2 that she appropriated its nickname "The White Devil", which is now more associated with her than with the mecha in some circles. Standard powerup curve makes her resemble later gundams of the UC timeline as she levels up. Nanoha uses ''funnels'' during the third series, making the resemblance even more pronounced.
