* [[Alternate Realm Boon]]: Played with: an HR manager dies and encounters a god-like being he dubs as Being X. Due to the protagonist's staunch atheism, Being X reincarnates the manager into another world going through a world war, as a girl named Tanya with a high magic aptitude born in a country simply known as the Empire. This country is surrounded by hostile neighbors and sorcery is involved in warfare, which Tanya first fights as a Warrant Officer; both her current powers and her knowledge and ruthlessness from her previous life proved vital for her survival.
* [[A Date with Rosie Palms]]: Lieutenant Weiss tells the 203rd they are being deployed and if they were planning on a one night stand, they'd have to make due with their right hand.▼
* [[Badass Boast]]: Eager to put some easy experience into his new unit against an enemy [[Mooks|antiquated army]], Tanya seeks the approval from von Rerugen thusly:

** Tanya's wing vs the Dacian vanguard.
▲* [[A Date with Rosie Palms]]: Lieutenant Weiss tells the 203rd they are being deployed and if they were planning on a one night stand, they'd have to make due with their right hand.
* [[Deicide]]:Tanya isn’t fond of Being X, and aspires to kill him.
* [[Entertainingly Wrong]]: Tanya is often wrong about things, and people are often wrong about things regarding Tanya. And it's basically always amusing. This is especially prevalent in the manga, which has less action than the anime, and less technical details than the Light Novel. And it
* [[Even the Rats Won't Touch It]]: The manga tells us that birds won't eat K-Brot.
* [[Exact Eavesdropping]]: Inverted in chapter 26 of the manga. The United Kingdom was confident that the Empire knew ''everything'' about their ''highly'' classified plan, based on the actions of the 203rd mage wing. During the operation in question United Kingdom hacked into Visha's Operation Orb. They stole an audio recording that was from part of an unimportant conversation.
Line 26 ⟶ 27:
* [[Finger Gun]]: While riding his bike in the empire, some kids 'shoot' at White Silver (Tanya) using brooms. Tanya 'shoots' back using his hands. Considering there was no scheming thought bubbles about PR [[Pet the Dog|he could have just been nice purely for it's own sake]].
* [[Friend or Foe]]: In the manga (chapter 16) the 203rd used decoys to trick one enemy nation to fire upon troops they were allied with.
* [[Functional Magic]]: The setting's magic combines ''Inherent Gift'' and ''Device Magic''. A person must be born with a rare magical potential to become a mage; however, a high magical aptitude is rarer. Modern magic uses technology such as Operation Orbs and Specters.
* [[Gone Horribly Right]]: Tanya proposed the formation of a special military unit to impress the higher ups and get promoted. They decided to make that military unit, and put him in charge of it, of course. He wasn't actually high enough rank to lead such a unit when he proposed it, so he got promoted so he could lead it.
* [[Got Volunteered]]:
Line 42 ⟶ 44:
* [[Masochist's Meal]]: Our army is secretly battling the common-wealth— a neutral country to see who has the worst food!!
* [[The Mind Is a Plaything of the Body]]: Averted. Tanya still identifies as a man. Not that he tells anyone.
* [[Out-of-Character Moment]]: After Tanya found out Dacia invaded the empire with a large yet anachronistic army, thereby giving him a chance to test his troops in real, yet harmless (on his end) combat, as well as boost his reputation by [[Curb Stomp Battle|demolishing]] a vastly larger yet vastly weaker foe, he was so happy that ''he thanked god''. The light novel explicitly points out that Tanya would never do this in his [[Nay Theist|default state of mind]].
* [[Insert Grenade Here]]: In episode 6, Tanya lands on a plane and tosses a stick grenade into the cockpit.
* [[Instant Runes]]: Some spells involve this. Other spells seem to not involve runes at all.
Line 50 ⟶ 52:
* [[Readings Are Off the Scale]]: The recording of Tanya had a mana level passing the maximum measurement.
* [[Reassigned to Antarctica]]: In episode 1, Tanya assigns a couple of soldiers he wasn't happy with to garrison a cramped pillbox not right up on the front lines.
* [[Shovel Strike]]:
** At one point in the manga Visha is seen armed with a shovel and later explains that her fire arm got damaged.
** In vol 2 of the LN Tanya became enamored with her military shovel leading to the current Shovel Strike page quote. Her unit also used them as weapons during a night time trench raid.
* [[Side Bet]]: In the Light Novel, 3 platoons of MPs were betting how many teams would pass Tanya's the first part of his exam into his unit. 3rd platoon bet that no teams would pass that day. The platoons were wagering "bottles". A couple of First Platoon members were wishing for the success of applicants not because they cared about people passing, but because they wanted to win the bet.
* [[Springtime for Hitler]]: Tanya says he could train a wing (47 subordinates) of elite soldiers [[Impossible Task|in a month]], with the expectation that implementing the cruelest non-lethal [[Spartan Way]] would cause a bunch of drop outs that Tanya could use as scapegoats. In the anime, not only does Tanya succeed, but not a single trainee dropped out because they were so scared of him. Even before that, he made a recruitment poster that was supposed to deter mages, but make it so the (at least supposedly) out of touch leadership wouldn't realize the recruitment poster Tanya made was to blame. Tanya received ''a lot'' of applications.
Line 55 ⟶ 60:
* [[Super Prototype]]: Tanya's Elinium Type 95 Operation Orb is the first multi-core orb. It can't be mass produced and admittedly it's full use is only accessible to Tanya due too a curse by god (without said curse it would be hazardous enough that likely only a skilled mage would be able to use it without it immediately blowing up, and even then they'd only be able to partially use it, and even then only in testing conditions). The model type 97 is based off it.
* [[They Just Don't Get It]]: Despite Tanya's efforts, the other imperial soldiers and officers regard the invading Dacian army, which Tanya has been tasked too delay till reinforcements can arrive, as a disastrous situation.

* [[Uriah Gambit]]:{{spoiler|In episode 1, Tanya assigns a couple of soldiers he wasn't happy with to be garrisoned in an exposed pillbox a little bit behind the front lines. As he expected, a large, immobile exposed pillbox makes an easy artillery target, and his men were killed.}}
* [[War Is Hell]]: Occasionally war is portrayed as at least a bit on the hellish side of things. Like Victoria's first combat experience. Or a mook [[Mook Horror Show|remembering his encounter with Tanya's wing]].
