Symphogear: Difference between revisions

* [[Decoy Protagonist]]: The promotional videos show the four girls have a prominent role in the series. At the end of the first episode however, it shows that {{spoiler|Kanade}} died halfway through the episode.

* [[Description Cut]]

Cue the next scene having the bureau celebrating Hibiki getting there. }}

* [[Disco Tech]]: Symphogears and relics are activated and run on "phonic energy", that comes from singing.

* [[High-Pressure Blood]]: Any meaningful impact will release a humongous burst of blood, as seen for example when Hibiki gets hit in the first episode.

* [[Hot-Blooded]]: Kanade, Genjurou and his alumn Hibiki. Watch a man teach martial arts to a girl with lines like "Your fists ought to fly like hammers that hit the thunder of the bolt that strucks you!" and the girl respond "I didn't understand a word of that, but I'll try!". Same gal who yells battlecries while playing an arcade ''crane game''.

'''Hibiki''': [[Big Word Shout|SYYYYMMPHOOOGEEAARRRRRRR!]] }}

* [[Hot Chick with a Sword]]: Tsubasa

* [[The Men in Black]]: The government agency handling the Symphogears actively keep their existance from the public eye, as they are considered a strategic resource. But their tactics are pretty nice and polite, like making witnesses sign Nondisclosure agreements.

* [[Meta Guy|Meta Girl]]: Yumi, one of [[Those Two Guys]], keeps pointing out how things play out like in an Anime, beginning by calling Hibiki out for behaving like a cartoon character in the second episode.

* [[Mistaken for Cheating]]: In what might be considered a [[Contrived Coincidence]], Miku caught Hibiki visiting the just-recently-waking-up-from-comatose Tsubasa, when Hibiki said that she needs to go somewhere else and can't go shopping with Miku. [[It Got Worse|Then things get worse.]]

* [[Monumental Battle]]: The fight in episode 10 takes place around the Tokyo Tower.

** {{spoiler|Tsubasa does the same thing when fighting against Chris as a way to make up for the loss of Kanade.}}

* [[Romantic Two-Girl Friendship]]: Hibiki and Miku behave more like a couple than as friends. For starters, they sleep together.

* [[Rule of Cool]]: ''Singing'' while fighting energy creatures in your mystical power armour.

* [[Scenery Porn]] and [[Scenery Gorn]]: On both sides of the spectrum, and can change at any moment. Transitioning from a vibrant laser-show concert that ended with a sunset to a battle-stricken concert under that same sun is animated very beautifully.

* [[Tokyo Is the Center of the Universe]]: Japan as a whole consists of the Research Facility underneath the school, at least {{spoiler|three}} Valkyries in {{spoiler|two locations}}, and (potentially) two weapons, one of them being [[BFS]] Durandal. Doesn't look like Japan will hand over Durandal to the EU, what with Episode 5's revelation that {{spoiler|Hibiki can use it as part of her song}}.

* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: She may activate her Symphogear fine, but Hibiki has the fighting skills of the average middle schooler until she gets training from Genjurou.

* [[Took a Level In Jerkass]]: Tsubasa after {{spoiler|Kanade's}} death.

* [[Tower of Babel]]: {{spoiler|The tower Phine built to reach Him is obviously supposed to be it, despite being unnamed within the show. But since she mentions the [[Curse of Babel]] too, it's obvious.}}
