Line 21:
** A’isha, a Roman soldier introduced in the anime.
** Kyrie Kuon, a character exclusive to the PSP [[Visual Novel]].
* [[And Man Grew Proud]]: The degree to which Helvetian and Roman mythologies are true is unclear [[Epileptic Trees|and contested]], but share similarities in that both accounts are embellished recollections of [[The End of the World
* [[Apocalypse How]]: Class I: several relics from the past civilization remain, but much of the world is uninhabitable save small regions. However, the consequences of the war might lead to a {{spoiler|Class IV; with the ocean receding and the surface succumbing to desertification, despite the war with "Them" having ended centuries ago}}.
* [[Arson, Murder, and Lifesaving]]: By the end of the series, it's probably a good thing for the girls that they know [[Everything's Better
* [[Aside Glance]]: Kureha does this twice in the first OVA.
* [[A Truce While We Gawk]]: Both the Helvetican and Roman armies temporarily halt their advances when Kanata {{spoiler|plays Amazing Grace in the midst of the battlefield}}.
* [[Baker's Dozen]]: There are two bonus DVD-only episodes.
* [[Batman in My Basement]]: The crew decides to hide {{spoiler|Aisha}} to avoid wrecking the peace talks.
* [[Big Creepy
* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: {{spoiler|Rio's timely arrival allows her to enforce the peace treaty between the Helvetian and Roman at the end of episode twelve, preventing an all-out war from breaking out}}.
* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: Aisha's lines are in German, and the lyrics of ''Servante de Feu'' are in French.
Line 53:
** The Marine: [[Only Sane Employee|Kureha]], gunner.
* [[Cosy Catastrophe]]: While the rest of the world has fallen into disrepair, small regions (like Seize) remain habitable, with its residents going about their everyday lives as usual.
* [[Crap Saccharine World]]: On the first glance, this is [[K-On
{{quote| ''Beauty, Grimness, Pain, Happiness... It is up to you how to deal with them.''}}
* [[Crazy Enough to Work]]: Should the [[Epic Hail]] fail, {{spoiler|[[Amazing Freaking Grace]] }} might prove to be successful.
Line 72:
* [[Dream Melody]]: [[Amazing Freaking Grace]] is immediately recognizable by Rio, Kanata, and even A’isha. It is part of the Takemikazuchi's OS and carries symbolic importance for all of them.
* [[Drives Like Crazy]]: Klaus's reckless sidecar driving leaves Kanata in tears in the first episode.
* [[Due to
* [[Dysfunction Junction]]: The girls suffer the gamut of hang-ups from minor confidence issues {{spoiler|(Kanata)}} to really ugly stuff {{spoiler|(Filicia's post-traumatic stress disorder, Noël's guilt over her part in the Invisible Reaper plague)}}.
* [[Earth All Along]]: In episode 13, Rio receives a map of the world and points out to Kanata that Helvetia is {{spoiler|not in Europe but in Japan all along.}}
Line 146:
* [[Potty Emergency]]: Kanata suffers through this throughout most of Episode eight, except it elevates to [[Potty Failure]].
* [[The Power of Rock]]: Subverted in that while [[Amazing Freaking Grace]] did stall the two armies from fighting for a short time, it takes {{spoiler|Rio and her peace treaty}} to actually stop them.
* [[Putting
* [[Real Place Background]]: [http://infinitemirai.wordpress.com/2012/02/25/cuenca-spain-home-of-sora-no-woto/ Seize is Cuenca, Spain], with some structures and outdoor locations from the close-by village of Alarcón.
* [[Reckless Gun Usage]]: In the finale, the soldiers toss helmets into the air upon learning that they didn’t have to fight. The celebration seems well, or at least until loaded rifles begin appearing up in the air with those helmets.
Line 164:
* [[Soundtrack Dissonance]]: An intense tank battle is set to to the slow, melancholic ''Servante de Feu''.
* [[Something About a Rose]]: A prop used by Filicia during a fake Calvados deal gone bad put on to scare off the more violent central Mafia edging into Seize.
* [[Spell My Name
** Filicia, rather than Felicia or Phylicia
** Noël, rather than Noel, Noelle or Noeru
Line 189:
* [[Theme Tune Cameo]]: Rio [[Hollywood Tone Deaf|"sings"]] the opening theme while drunk.
* [[Title Drop]]: In the first episode, and several times later, usually referring to Amazing Grace.
* [[Title
* [[To Be Lawful or Good]]: Duty vs. morality. {{spoiler|Morality triumphs.}}
* [[Translation Convention]]: Based on the written texts that appear, Helvetian is French. Some text appears to be Japanese kanji, which only the priesthood seem able to read. Strangely, one of the lanterns in episode seven has English writing on it and some signs in Seize are written in Spanish.
Line 204:
* [[Women Drivers]]: While most of the females are competent drivers, Kanata's tendency to take her eyes off the road when driving [[Hilarity Ensues|results in chaos]].
* [[X Meets Y]]: Viewers feel that So Ra No Wo To can be described as a combination of several shows, not limited to:
** ''[[K-On!]]!'' meets ''[[Strike Witches]]''
** ''[[K-On!]]!'' meets ''[[All Quiet
** ''[[
** ''[[
* [[Yodel Land]]: The entire series take place here, complete with snowy mountains. {{spoiler|Despite the location being Japan}}, the town, buildings and countryside are actually based on the Spanish town of Cuenca, right down to [[Aluminum Christmas Trees|the odd rock pillars and the house on the edge of a cliff]].
