Project Arashi: Difference between revisions

 

== Kuro Arashi: The Black Storm ==

* [[All There in the Manual]]: As of about chapter 20, certain things can only be fully understood by reading the related side-stories, such as why Seno suddenly got a ninja follower before Mahorafest and what Yuuna was doing in a Halo costume at the festival, and later leading a special forces team in the battle

* [[Anyone Can Die]]: Invoked way back in chapter 4 with the result of the duel between Seno and Motoko, then later when Sabashii greased the bald-headed mage teacher, and most recently when {{spoiler|1=Amalla Su and the King of MolMol bit it}}

* [[Massive Multiplayer Crossover]]: ''[[Love Hina]]'' is the base series. Got it. ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' was directly crossed in. Well, it was also made by Akamatsu and there are references abundant, so that's okay. Now ''[[Halo]]''. ...Wait, what?

* [[Misfit Mobilization Moment]]: Initially, even after 'awakening' as heroes, the tenants of Hinata were simply a bunch of guys and girls living in a traditional-style Japanese apartment. Then came one fight with a bunch of mages who sorely underestimated them, and [[Badass Crew|The Kuro Crew]] was born

* [[Oh Crap There Are Fanfics of Us]]: Used as a one-off sight gag between Seno and Motoko in chapter eight

* [[Person of Mass Destruction]]: The Kuro crew is best described as a <s>tactical</s> nuke

** Keitaro has voiced that he shipped Seno/Motoko from the beginning.

** Tsuruko and Seno's parents also shipped Seno/Motoko, for much longer than Keitaro did.

* [[Sliding Scale of Fourth Wall Hardness]]: Every single point on the scale has been abused by various characters, with Seno, Sabashii, and Hiroyuki being the main perpetrators. [[Medium Awareness]] tends to be the default setting

* [[The Stations of the Canon]]: Given the Pararakelse arc from [[Love Hina]], and the Mahora Festival from [[Mahou Sensei Negima]], certain plot points from both series are hit...by a wrecking ball

* [[Set Right What Once Went Wrong]]: In order to give humanity a fighting chance against the Covenant, Chao, once she's jumped back in time to barely save her ''own'' life, comes to the conclusion that magic must become 'real' to allow it to be militarized as a weapon against which the Covenant have no defense

* [[Tragic Keepsake]]: The [[Hand Cannon|M6D Magnum]] given to Chao by Akira Miyazaki, that has cropped up at least once in every other appearance she's put in anywhere in the series. It was given to her for protection, given that the Covenant had boarded the MAC station, minutes before the entire squad was killed by boarders and Chao herself nearly died. She has kept it lovingly maintained and uses it ever since

 

 

* [[Homosexual Reproduction]]: Akio traces his ancestry back to [[Schoolgirl Lesbians|Setsuna and Konoka]], who had a minimum of two male children to carry on the Sakurazaki and Konoe family names, respectively. It was [[Hand Wave|HandWaved]] away that it was done through a combination of science and magic

* [[It's Personal]]: Or at least it seems that way to ODST Alpha Company commander Weeks, judging by what he said right before all the ODSTs landed

* [[Kill It With Fire]]: Lampshaded by Akio, who determined that if zombies or the Flood were loose in their base, then a flamethrower was a good answer. Later averted when the flamethrower does absolutely nothing to Evangeline's ice wall

* [[Lock and Load Montage]]: Half of the prologue consists of this, complete with requisite Wall of Weapons, and punctuated at the end with a [[Dramatic Gun Cock]]

* [[Sealed Badass in A Can]]: As revealed in the brief sojourn to the magic world, ''all four'' of the major powers are lead by major players from the previous era, to include ''two'' Chosen Heroes

* [[Sealed Evil in A Can]]: As far as ''most'' of the UNSC and even the Office of Naval Intelligence is aware, Colonel McDowell is just a very successful officer in command of an ODST division that has an almost-perfect mission record. What they don't know, on the other hand...

* [[Sinister Silhouettes]]: In the first chapter, Alysia is briefed on a mission by her commanding officer, whose voice reveals that she's female and speaks with a European accent, but otherwise anything relating to her is not revealed, as her office is kept in darkness save for the glow of a holotank. It later turns out that said commander is Evangeline fricken McDowell

* [[The Squad]]: Well gee, the entire storyline only ''focuses'' on these guys.

* [[Unfortunate Implications]]: Directly invoked by Cheryl in chapter 8. To be fair, the implications were actually rather tame

* [[Unwitting Pawn]]: The UNSC ''and'' the Covenant, all pawns in Evangeline's Gambit to take out the Office of Naval Intelligence

* [[Xanatos Gambit]]: Of course, the first thought goes directly to Chao, whose actions in the past, including her efforts to reveal magic to the world, and the construction of numerous and potent anti-Covenant weapon systems, were all intended to be used to fight the war she finds herself in. But the true first prize goes to Evangeline. She is playing all sides against the middle. If the Covenant beats the UNSC, then ONI is destroyed, and the vast majority of mages will survive in the Magic World, which cannot be found at all by the Covenant and is protected from the Halo effect. If the UNSC defeats the Covenant, well, she's got plans for that one, too...
