* [[Easy Logistics]]: Subverted. The Fleet of Fog's interdiction of sea and air transport routes is adversely effecting Japan's economy, being an island nation reliant on trade (a repeat of what happened in [[WWII]]). Other nations are also stated to be affected; the one nation that seems to be doing all right despite the Fog is the United States, as it's one of the few nations that are completely self-sufficient.
* [[Game Breaker]]: In-universe, the weapons, armor and shielding of the Fleet of Fog fall right into this trope. Humanity's combined fleets couldn't put a dent in them 17 years ago.
** Before the Fog showed up, it was the introduction of Supercavitation technology for torpedoes. This made torpedoes capable of going more than 300 knots the standard of naval warfare. Ironically, in the real world, supercavitating torpedoes aren't yet gamebreakers, as their high speed is achieved at the expense of target tracking ability (the Shkval is an unguided torp) and range -
* [[Humans Are Special|Humans Are a Special Kind of]] [[Magnificent Bastard|Bastard]]: {{spoiler|Yamato}} is keenly aware the only reason the Fleet of Fog is dominating the world's oceans is because of their [[Game Breaker]] [[Wave Motion Gun]], and the moment humanity catches up, which will eventually happen, human tactics and strategy with equal weapons will mean the Fleet of Fog is ''screwed.''
