{{tropelist}}
* [[A-Team Firing]]: Normal weapons have difficulty hitting abyssals if not equipped with hypertech either of their own or to take targeting data from shipgirls. How much is due to the simple reality of conventional antiship weapons not being made to hit human-sized targets and how much is due to exotic factors is debated in-universe.
* [[Adaptational Badass]]: Shipgirls have, beyond the physical superhumanity inherent to their being warships, [[Teleport Spam]], full spellcasting, and [[More Dakka]] for cruiser-and-above units. They fight abyssal encounters that are larger than in canon, to say nothing of Demons that now {{spoiler|can Step, have [[Anti-Magic]], destroyers with barrages and cruisers with [[Beehive Barrier]]s,}} or the leadership {{spoiler|who as [[Evil Counterpart]]s have the same supernal magic.}}
* [[Aerith and Bob]]: Most Natural Borns retain their original names, which are normal-for-their-culture ones like Alice or Ayaka. This is contrasted against the Summoned/Manifested who use their ship names rather than bothering to adopt human ones, and many of said names are things not normally used as names.
* [[Arc Words]]:
Line 27 ⟶ 28:
** One of the main differences is a transplant to America with the leads being a NYC Irish American boy and a rural Japanese American girl.
** What Mitsuha was trying to write on Taki's palm in canon is a mystery. Here, it's clear that Ayaka was writing her name.
** The swapping takes place over multiple months here, as opposed to the roughly one of canon.
* [[An Arm and a Leg]]: Chapter Two briefly mentions missing limbs among the injuries inflicted by the first abyssal attacks.
* [[Anyone Can Die]]: Dead major characters include {{spoiler|Takanami, Yamashiro and Ayaka herself, the last at least in a bad ending that ends at Chapter 39 but is switched away from in Chapter 40.}}
Line 116 ⟶ 118:
** Chapter 33 has "''osaki ni shitsureishimasu''", a common Japanese expression of apology for leaving early, being the last words of {{spoiler|Takanami.}}
** Chapter 37 has {{spoiler|Ayaka repeatedly apologising for (what she thinks is) her imminent death.}}
* [[Soundtrack Dissonance]]:
** Chapter 15 has an in-universe montage video of Choukai violently going to town on abyssals that has been set to Offenbach's Can Can.
** In Chapter 31, the abyssal supreme commander makes a genocidal speech while the BGM is the heroic theme of ''[[The Avengers (2012 film)|The Avengers]]''.
* [[Statuesque Stunner]]: Ayaka is a towering 6'8", appropriate considering how her original ship self was among the longest of its generation. Saratoga is roughly as tall/long both then and now, such that Ayaka fits into one of her spare outfits.
* [[Steel Ear Drums]]: In Chapter Three, Ayaka wonders how her eardrums are still intact after firing naval artillery.
