Takamachi Nanoha is just your regular 9-year-old girl in Uminari City. But one day, she heard a mysterious voice in her head, while wearing a green ring on her hand....

A fanfic by Shadow Crystal Mage, it's a Lyrical Nanoha Mega Crossover with Superman the Animated Series and the rest of the DC Animated Universe, Negima, Sailor Moon, Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya, Cardcaptor Sakura, Gate Keepers, and a lot of other stuff.

Now has two companion pieces: Kinomoto Sakura of 2814 and FATE: Holy Grail War of 2814. As well as a one shot We Are The Gate Keepers We can only guess where these will end up going...

It also now has its own WIKI, under construction.

Tropes used in Takamachi Nanoha of 2814 include:

• Abnormal Ammo: Tactical atomic bullet.
• Arc Words: "All according to plan." It kinda gets annoying after a while, since no one ever really explains what the plan IS. But Archer, Caster-Hayate, Berserker and Chao Lingshen are all in on it... somehow...
• Actual Pacifist: Poor Sakura-chan.... Kaede had to calm her down after the whole Wolkenritter vs Everyone thing.
• Adaptational Badass: Tuxedo Kamen, Tomoyo
  • Syaoran. Through absolutely nothing more than simply still being alive in the face of Tomoyo's Love Makes You Yandere-level Crazy.
  • Although she only tolerates Syaoran because Syaoran is Sakura's one true love.
• Anything That Moves: Caster-Hayate according to Archer.
• Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: Nanoha did this to Precia, kinda.

"Precia Testarossa, you are under arrest for multiple counts of child abuse, negligence, and being a BAD MOTHER!" Green Lantern cried. "Oh, and the TSAB, the JSDF and Oa want to talk to you about reckless use of Lost Logia, destruction of public property and illegal research or something. And we'll probably give you medical attention somewhere along the way, because we're nice. But we'll be surly about it!"

• • And Fate tries to do it to Vita

"I am this girl's friend," Fate said softly, the way a blade on a velvet sheath is soft. "I am one who owes her my life, and my soul, and my freedom. TSAB temporary mage, Fate Testarossa. And by my authority, you are under arrest for assault, destruction of private property, vandalism, disturbance of the peace, and being a bloody nuisance. If you do not resist, you will be granted the chance to plead in you own defense." Fate's form shifted, becoming more belligerent. "Please resist."

• • And in the battle against the Book of Darkness:

It was Sakura who'd cast the spell, Rin's sister Sakura, floating above them all, clad in the black of the Noble Phantasm Armor of Darkest Night, a dark purple triangular glyph glowing beneath her. "Book of Darkness!" she cried. "For putting innocents in danger!"

"For threatening our world!" Eternal Sailor Moon cried.

"For making me miss my sitcoms!" the red-headed sword-wielding Ala Alba cried. There were several hisses of outrage from the Senshi. Sailor Mercury sighed.

• Attack Its Weak Point: The Invaders can be destroyed completely by attacking its core. However, finding the core by itself is no easy task.
• Ax Crazy: Tsukuyomi, of course. Just like dear old Dad.
• Badass:The cakes bakery goes to Tomoyo. I mean, she had Deathstroke, David Cain, Tatsumiya Mana, Deadshot, Tsukuyomi and Lady Shiva as her teachers and she has them on her payroll...
  • It had already been set up in the story, but just to drive home the point, she gets a whole chapter to herself...
  • And we think that this thing can't be ramped up again... goes Archer.
  • Evangeline should get a mention here. She already a grade A Badass in the canon, but during Mahora Raid, her Badasssery is amped Up to Eleven. Having her Power Limiter being amped up by Chao, and also catch a flu, she come close to killing Vita using Razor Floss. Yes, a physically 10 years old who got a flu come close to killing a magical berserker (albeit with inner restriction, admittedly).
• Badass Boast: Yue, of all people, gets one:

"I am the daughter of Philosophers. The world of wisdom and knowledge is mine. I am a student of Ariadne. We are the Maidens of War. I am a Magical Girl. We are they who fight for Truth, Love, and Justice. I am Ala Alba. We have saved the world. I am a Ministra Magi of the son of the Thousand Master, son of Arika Anarchia Entheofushia, the Last Prince of Ostia and Vespertatia, his Highness, the savior of Mundus Magicus! We are the reason why!... Hello. My name is Valkyrie Black. You attacked my teacher. Prepare to die. We fight!"

• • In one of the possible futures, Vivio gets one:

"Sacred Heart! Raging Heart! Bardiche! Reinforce! SET UP! Come at me, abominations! I am Vivio of the Justice League, last of the Green Lantern Corps! I am the Saint King! I am the Torchbearer! I am Ion, daughter of heroes! Look at me and know your doom! My counter-attack begins now!"

• Badass Cape: Tuxedo Kamen's cape, which can also function as a weapon.
• Badass Creed: Recently, Nanoha's transformation aria has taken a level in Badass:

"I am the one who has been given a mission. Under the contract, release these powers. The winds are in the sky, the stars are in the heavens, the light is in my hands and the power is in my heart! And I shall shed my light over dark evil, for the dark things cannot stand the light, the light of the Green Lantern! Raging Heart Emerald Excelion, Set Up!" pose* "Magical Girl Green Lantern, Zenryoku Zenkai! Ready for action!"

• • Plus there's the Wolkenritter's oath:

“In days of peace, in times of war, Protect our Queen forever more! The five Clouds stand, we are her Knights! To guard Hayate, our delight!”

• • And then there are the rest of the Lantern oaths. Apparently, while Larfleeze is still Agent Orange and the Indigo Tribe is still in charge of the Compassion part of the spectrum, the other four Corps are started by other anime characters rather than aliens, with oaths adjusted accordingly. And it is awesome. They are, in order:
    • The Red LanternCrimson Agency oath implied to include Negi Springfield in its ranks, if not as the founder!:

"With blood and rage of crimson red, Ripped from a corpse so freshly dead! Together with my hellish hate, none other shall share in my fate!"

• • • The Blue LanternAngel oath which is shaping up to have been founded by Kinomoto Sakura:

"In fearful day, when without light… With my heart full, my soul ignites! When all seems lost, and black as night, look to her star, for Hope burns bright…"

• • • The Star Sapphire Oath (unchanged but still badass) of which Tomoyo is a member:

"For hearts long lost and full of fright, For those alone in blackest night, Accept our ring and join our fight - Love conquers all - with violet light!"

• • • And the oath of the goddamned Sinestro Corps Order of Fate Testarossa!:

"In blackest day, in endless night… We turn our fears into our light! Let all who wish to do what's right… Join HER order, make tomorrow bright!"

• • • And now^[when?] the oath of the White Lanterns, who seem to have Tuxedo Kamen as a member going by the ring of the Earth King:

"The Brightest Day is on the rise The light shall soar as darkness flies. We guard all life from evil's blights. Destiny awaits! Shine, White Knights!"

• • Also the aria for Archer's Reality Marble, Unlimited Blade Works, which shared by at least three characters:
    • Archer And at some point, Berserker using Archer Class Card and infected Shamal using Book of Darkness

"I am the bone of my sword, steel is my body, and fire is my blood, I have created over a thousands blades! Unaware of loss, not aware of gain, withstood pain to create many weapons! I have no regrets, this the only path for hero! My whole life was... UNLIMITED BLADE WORKS!!"

• • • Kuro:

"I call the bone of your sword, soft is my body, calling the fire in your blood, I have created thousands of Lolicons! Unknown to thermodynamics, regardless of physics, I screw reality with my Freudian Blades, yet this flesh burns with unfulfilled desire! And thus I sublimate... UNLIMITED BLADE WORKS!!"

• • • Sakura Matou aka. Broken-Chan

"I am the core of my sword, strong is my body, magic is my blood, I wield over a thousand spells! Unknowing to despair, unyielding to surrender, I have withstood solitude in defiance of darkness! And yet these hands shall never cease learning.... And thus I create, my UNLIMITED BLADE WORKS!!"

• Badass Normal: Tuxedo Kamen. He didn't have the ability to fly but he still managed to give Signum a headache. Arguably, Tomoyo-chan and her bodyguard squad.
  • Most definitely Cassandra Cain Doe. A non-magical human whose only power is having gone through Training from Hell, and she beats the hell out of Vita.
• Berserk Button: Do not remind Sailor Pluto that Pluto is no longer a planet...
  • Thou shall not mess with Sakura, for Tomoyo is Lawful Evil and knows Shinmei-Ryu...
  • Don't mess with Vita's hat- Wait, this is getting old....
    • Don't mess with Hayate, or Wolkenritter will challenge Physical Gods and WIN.
• Big Brother Mentor: Superman to Nanoha.
• Blatant Lies: "It's partial amnesia. Emphasis on partial."
  • Also, Negi claiming to know nothing about who stole 3-A's underwear; overlaps with Suspiciously Specific Denial.
• Breaking the Fourth Wall: So many times, the characters actually want it to be fixed.
• Busman's Holiday: Superman laments that this happens to him whenever he takes a vacation somewhere other than Smallville. Batman refuses to believe that the 'vacation curse' is real, while taking a vacation in Japan and making it a Busman's Holiday on purpose.
  • Of course Batman just planned on beating up petty criminals, to someone who deals with the likes of The Joker that's a vacation. Of course, he then ends up involved in the Holy Grail War, proving that You Can't Fight Fate
• By the Power of Grayskull: Mind you, Nanoha doesn't need to do this, but she is so ingrained with the Magical Girl bit that she does so anyway.
• The Cameo: More than you can possibly imagine. Some later pan out into full on crossovers, some just appear for a couple lines to say hi. It isn't even limited to anime, or even to narrative storytelling. Even astronauts from the Discovery channel The World Is Just Awesome spot show up briefly.
• Catch Phrase: mainly in the authors notes ,but some characters say it at some point: "TV Tropes, dattebayo!"
  • Also, Larfleeze's "Mine!" keeps coming up.
• The Cavalry / Big Damn Heroes: Several times. First, is when Nanoha facing Darkseid's invasion of Uminari, when she realizes she's not alone.
  • When Nanoha got attacked by the Wolkenritter, Ring-chan called for help. It's responded to by Ala Alba, Illya and Miyu, Sailor Senshi, Sakura and Superman. In subversion, this actually makes the situation worse, since this is giving the Wolkenritter exactly what they want - a lot people with magical power to drain - and their teamwork isn't that great, resulting in Negi and Eternal Sailor Moon getting drained.
  • When the Wolkenritter attacked Sakura, Vita is goaded by Tomoyo into saying "You and What Army?", and Tomoyo's Bodyguard Squad (along with Deathstroke, Deadshot, David Cain, and Lady Shiva!) pulls this.
  • When Usagi got cornered by Vita, she manages to buy time with ice cream (It Makes Sense in Context) and Sailor Jupiter is finally able to pull this.
• Calling Your Attacks: Done religiously by everyone, and spoofed on at least one occasion with Tuxedo Mask.

Tuxedo Kamen: Manhole Cover!

• Chainsaw Good: One of Yuuno's ring constructs is a rain of chainsaws. One of Nanoha's ring constructs is Bruce-kun, a large shark with chainsaws for teeth.
• Church Militant: Arguably Tomoyo, the founder of Sakura-ism.
  • The Wolkenritter are also very fanatical when it comes to Hayate.
• Combining Mecha: The heroes response against Godzilla-shaped Invader. All because Green Lantern-chan psyche is already conditioned that Godzilla is unbeatable. Bonus point for taking Evangelion shape.
• Comes Great Responsibility: ...and paperwork. Granted, it becomes a plot point at certain moments.
• Cool Versus Awesome: From the FATE: Holy Grail War of 2814 sidestory, Kuro's Unlimited Blade Works versus Servant Assassin Winter Knight's Zombie Tyrannosaurus Rex Noble Phantasm.
• The Corruption: Downloading Kotomine's Heart of Pure Evil (TM) into the Book of Darkness after it was damaged by Asuna seems to have some adverse impacts on the Wolkenritter.
• Covert Pervert: Fate. So very much.
• Crack Fic: Gee, where to begin....
  • At this point though, the fic started to take itself more seriously. The author actually laments at the fact that most people in net still categorize it as Crack Fic.
    • Somehow, it manages to be a serious crack fic. Without actually reading the stroy, it's hard to understand.
• Crazy Prepared: By law, all Japanese schools must have an 'infiltrated by the forces of evil' drill in addition to standard fire drills. It comes in handy more often than it should.
• Darker and Edgier/Lighter and Softer: Paradoxically, both at once. Intersecting with Fate/stay night and Gate Keepers makes the Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A's plotline grimmer, but the Fate plotline is made much lighter from crossing over with more idealistic series like Lyrical Nanoha, Negima, and the Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya continuity.
• Death Is Cheap: Referenced:

"I am going to die a virgin," Tuxedo Kamen said, then added conscientiously, "Again."

• Deliberately Cute Child: Tomoyo. And she is good at it.
• Delicious Distraction: Ice cream is really tasty. Too tasty perhaps.
  • And not just to the customer.
• Department of Redundancy Department: Tomoyo is one of the few employers available to ninjas, and in fact is listed between every other option.
• Doorstopper: The Green Lantern standard codebook describing common situations that a lantern might encounter in the field has at least 77,348 entries in it. Nanoha appears to have memorized it.
• Dragged Into Drag: After 3-A learns that Green Lantern thinks that Negi is a girl, they start stealing his clothing and replacing them with girl's outfits.
• The Dreaded: Nanoha apparently becomes this in the future. Tomoyo is already this, if Kuro's reaction to meeting her in Unequally Rational and Emotional is anything to go by. And especially Evangeline. Nanoha herself is so terrified of Evangeline that merely hearing her name causes her to have Heroic BSOD.

...I don't want to die, I don't want to die, I don't want to die...

• Drowning My Sorrows: Sailor Pluto really hasn't taken the demotion of Pluto to a Dwarf Planet well. And it's treated as comedy. When they got her off the bottle, she became a Lady of War to compensate.
• Empathic Weapon: Special mention to Ring-chan, the first and only Power Ring who developed his/her own consciousness among all the Corps' Power Ring. It seems to have issues with Raging Heart...
• Erotic Eating: Vita eating ice cream for the first time is rather disturbingly sexual.
• Everything's Better with Chocolate: Chocolate Overkill Omnicides. Poor Vita....
• Foe Yay: Signum/Yuuno, Signum/Tuxedo Kamen, and Signum/Fate. Parodied in an omake in which Fate finding evidence of Signum's fight with Tuxedo Kamen is treated like an affair.
• Freud Was Right: Vita with ice cream. Vita with.... AARRRRGHHH!!! DAMN YOU INTERNET!!!
• Fridge Logic: Used in-universe. The heroes deduce how long the villains have been on earth via exploring the Fridge Logic of a reference to This Very Wiki. If they found that particular page, it means that they've found the site and been on it for a while, which means that they've been surfing the internet, which means they've been here long enough to have plenty of free time... GET BACK TO WORK, GIRLS!
• Frickin' Laser Beams: Lex-Blaster 500.
• Future Badass: Archer, of course, in more ways than usual. He somehow seems to have about three dozen more IQ points than Shiro, apart from anything else. He frequently expresses astonishment at how much of a useless idiot he was back then.
  • The Caster of Fate/Zero, Hayate Yagami. Sakura's symbiosis with Reinforce handily shows how powerful the Book of Darkness is, but Kotomine's dark copy of Hayate demonstrates exactly how absurdly powerful one can get when one can combine the powers of Negi, Nanoha, Archer, the Sailor Senshi, and many others.
• Genre Savvy: Batman decides not to "visit" Mahora Academy because the universe said not to.
  • Additionally, everybody knows how often ninjas end up dealing with tentacle monsters. This one zigzags between this and Wrong Genre Savvy.
  • As of Chapter 25 Ilya has this in spades.
• Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today?: Alisa in chapter 26. Even the Book of Darkness doesn't believe her.
  • Later on in the same chapter, Fate attempts this in her internal monologue. She certainly did not watch any of Chrono's girl-on-girl porn!
• Heroic Willpower: One of Berserker's Noble Phantasm is Oath Against All Evil, that enables him to control his servant class power and mind. Anyone who familiar with Fate/stay night knows how destructive and uncontrollable Berserker class is.
• Horrifying the Horror: The reaction of 99% of Arkham to Joker's Family Christmas.
• I Regret Nothing: Chamo, after looking up the skirts of the Magical Girl Association.
• It Runs in The Family: Turns out The Joker's homicidal mania and tendency to sexualize his obsession with nemeses are heritable, even if his particular idiosyncrasies aren't.
• Kidanova: Negi, who has finally gotten Genre Savvy about it and begun to use it to his advantage.

"Oh, crap," [Chisame] whispered. "He's hit puberty! We're all doomed!"

• Lady of War: Several. Signum, Lady Shiva who manages to knock-out Zafira in hand-to-hand combat and looks incredibly cool while doing it, Sailor Pluto who combined this with Drunken Master, and Tomoyo, although maybe too young for this trope, but manages to keep her calm and her mysterious, saintly smile (c) even when attacking the Wolkenritter and trying to rip Vita a new one.
• Lampshade Hanging: All over the place. In recent chapters, almost literally. The lampshade hanging itself is, at one point, lampshaded.
  • Literal lampshades have started showing up, as of chapter 14, and maybe earlier.
• Little Miss Badass: Nanoha, Fate, Illya, Kuro Illya, Miyu, Vita, but the queen is Tomoyo.
• Love Makes You Crazy: Tomoyo, but it's Crazy Awesome.
• Love Makes You Evil: Tomoyo, and the Wolkenritter.
• Mega Crossover
• Mood Whiplash/ Description Cut: Done in this chapter of FATE: Holy Grail War of 2814. First we got Emiyas shoved into life threatening situation, then it shows Death doing random things such as doing a Sudoku puzzle. It was a foreshadowing to shows that, no, nobody is going to die
• Mutually Exclusive Magic: By Word of God, a person can only use one type of magic. Either Magecraft (Fate/stay night), Mid-Childan/Belkan Magic (Nanoha), or Wizardry (Negima). The only exception to this is Sakura who, being bonded to the Tome of the Night Sky, can use everythign that's been downloaded into it, including Servants' Noble Phantasms, and all three types of magic. She's basically described as a "Broken Game Character".
• My Death Is Just the Beginning: Archer had his Heroic Sacrifice planned out since a few hours after summoning, and planned for what happened next rather well.
• Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Stabbing the magic-collecting Artifact of Doom with an Anti-Magic sword turns out to be a really, really bad idea.
  • Though it seems that someone was arranging for that to happen.
  • Nanoha also angsts that she didn't do good enough job of fighting the Wolkenritter and causing her support to get targeted by them, until Superman tells her to take it easy.
• No Fourth Wall: Chapter 8 is a particularly egregious (*sip*) example.
• Oblivious Younger Sibling: Nanoha has yet to realize that her sister Miyuki's relationship with their brother is not sisterly, despite having walked past a three-way make-out session between Miyuki, Kyouya, and Shinobu, and seeing Naked Apron Miyuki coming out of Kyouya's room in the morning (Given that Miyuki is biologically Kyouya's cousin, not his sister, it's not as naughty as it seems, but still). This is mainly due to Nanoha being too tired or too preoccupied due to work-related issues to pay close attention to what's going on at home.
• Oh, No, Not Again: Several
  • When Nanoha hears a mysterious voice in her head, she knows that it means trouble. It's just about evolved into a Running Gag.
  • The Sailor Senshi always panic whenever they hear that there's new a Magical Girl, thinking they're going to die. Again.
• Only Sane Man: Yuuno, most of the time. Superman the rest.
• Orgasmically Delicious: Vita and Chocolate Overkill Omnicides.
• Panty Thief: Negi of all people, with Yuuno and Kotaro enlisted as help, in order to get back at the girls of his class for them treating him as - and dressing him as - a girl. Ayaka faints when she realizes that her little shota was personally handling her underwear.
• Prophetic Dreams: Shown several times during the series, regarding a horrible scenario where Sailor Pluto had to sacrifice herself. It was Kinomoto Sakura's dream. Probably induced by Spectre/Alicia Testarossa.
• Power Creep, Power Seep: The Wolkenritter's defenses have been fairly obviously gimped somewhat to allow certain people to actually fight them who certainly couldn't ordinarily.
• Purple Prose: How Vita sees Hayate.
  • Tomoyo is also prone to this, in her Church Militant mode.

"For the foul heresy of attempting to harm the gloriousness that is the great and beautiful Sakura-chan," Tomoyo said breezily, her saintly, mysterious smile © never leaving her face, "I levy the judgment of the church upon you, strangers. By Sakura-chan's boundless mercy and generosity, I give you one final chance to turn away from this evil path you tread and embrace the light of goodness that is Sakura-chan! Bow down to her divine beauty, and you will be forgiven this heinous atrocity, for all things are loved in the nice, soft, squishy, developing bosom of Sakura-chan's infinite heart. Persist, however, and there is no place you can hide from my Vengeance, no hole too deep, no shadow so dark that I cannot find you to exact a thousand times over the harm you would wrought upon this most blessed Sakura-chan! Persist and know that from this day forth the Specter of death hangs above you, and that nothing will spare you from my most unholy Wrath."

• • And here's the author's opinion of this trope in action, courtesy of Ch. 13 Author's Notes:

"I have come to the conclusion I'm too good a writer to be able to write Purple Prose. On the upside, it means I'm too good to write anything as horrible as Twilight. On the down side, it means I'm too good to write anything as marketable as Twilight. It was an actual labor to write it. I had to read SO many bad fics to even try to get it down. I couldn't stop laughing at how stupid it all was. Anyone who can do this and KEEP doing it for more than a thousand pages has... well, not talent, but some kind of anti-talent. Purple prose is HARD! Though I have also discovered, to my horror, that I have my own personal brand of Purple Prose. I need to lie down..."

• Red and Black and Evil All Over: The Corruption turned Wolkenritter Knight Armour into red and black version.
• Rule of Cool
• Rule of Funny
• Secret Identity: Everyone. Chrono now has a Secret Identity as 'Tempus' and the Wolkenritter recently took to wearing masks so that they couldn't be traced to Hayate. The entirety of Ala Alba ends up with codenames and masks of varying quality.
• Serial Escalation: Okay, let's try to make a list....
  • How many references to pop-culture can the author insert?
  • How crazy can Tomoyo be in her dedication to Sakura?
  • How many items can Signum take to her bath?
  • How perverted can Vita's experience with ice cream be?
  • How insane can Nanoha's constructs be?
  • What kind of craziness can Archer pull with his Tracing?
    • A meta-example: This story now has its own Wiki. HOW much bigger can it get?
• Shout-Out: During her second fight with Vita, Green Lantern-chan uses shark construct "Bruce", American Godzilla, Giant Marshmallow Man ("Who you gonna call?"), and the Supertrain Megazord, much to Vita's chagrin.
  • Fate's dream sequence in chapter 14. That is all that really needs to be said.
    • to be more specific, her dream is a parody of Setsuna's Cosmo Entelekhia scene, will elements of the introduction of the original Mary Sue, FLCL and Midori Days.
  • Negi's triumphant return to manhood boyhood, and the girls' reaction, is a wonderful Shout-Out to the famous "Suit Up" scene from How I Met Your Mother.
  • From Fate:

"Yes," Saber said coldly. She considered it dispassionately, then decided it wouldn't soil her honor to insult him in the harshest way she knew how. "You Frenchman! Ni! Ni!"

• • Tomoyo's Bodyguard Squad seems to consist entirely of female ninja named after Naruto girls.
  • Some of Berserker's abilities was based on Lancelot's
• Show Within a Show: Trope Tan Organization the TV.
• The Snark Knight: Archer. Lampshaded by Lancer.
  • At one point, he even introduces himself as Mister Sarcastic.
• Sneezing: Happens a lot.
• Stable Time Loop: The most probable explanation for why the universe isn't imploding when Archer teaches Shiro the finer points of his technique, as Archer worries. Archer gets up to a lot of this, going out of his way to make sure certain events happen, leaving it unclear if they would have happened the way he remembers if he hadn't interfered. The threesome with Rin and Saber, though, was totally worth risking the stability of space-time.
  • Additionally, it's implied that Future Hayate was the Servant Caster of the Fourth Grail War, and is responsible for the damage to the Tome of the Night Sky by sealing the Grail's corruption into it and turning it into the Book of Darkness.
    • It turns out that Future Hayate and Archer, based on their own "past" knowledge, developed a Gambit Roulette to manipulate the outcomes of the 4th and 5th Holy Grail Wars, before they died and were summoned to the past as Heroic Spirits.
  • People keep getting mail from Chao Lingshen. It's entirely possible that she knew what to send and when to send it because she already knew what had been received and when.
• Stalker with a Crush: Gentleman, forget the lovely and womanly Tomoyo in CCS Canon. She takes the concept and turns it to impossible heights.
• Suspiciously Specific Denial: Negi's "reaction" to 3-A discovering their underwear has been stolen (by him) zigzags between this and Blatant Lies
• The Tape Knew You Would Say That: Chao and Chibi-Usa left behind some time-release emails that are astonishing in their predictive ability.
  • And Archer does it with a video letter that was recorded shortly after his summoning and delivered shortly after his 'death'. Since his past self was there when the video was played, he knows exactly what everyone's reaction will be.
• To Win Without Fighting: Though she hasn't gotten the Grail yet, Saber has been declared the winner of the Holy Grail war on the grounds that she is the only person involved who actually wants it.
  • And now she can't get it, with the Grail being destroyed to stop Kotomine Kirei from unleashing Ultimate Evil to the world.
• Transformation Is a Free Action: Subverted. Nanoha tends to wait for transformation to complete, but her partners (especially Fate) don't. Not that it helps them.
• Training from Hell: Evangeline to Nanoha. And Nanoha picked up that habit and hit Yuuno with it.
  • Kilowog's Green Lantern training was implied to be like this toward new recruits, but Nanoha surprisingly happily accept her training, much to the chagrin of her colleagues.
    • It should be noted that while Killowog's was fine, Evangeline's absolutely terrified her at first. (And maybe not just at first. Nanoha only uses -sama for two people. The other one is Superman.)
• Tara Strong: Voices Ring-chan. Yes, a voice actor in a text only medium.

Setsuna blinked. "Why does your ring sound like a boy as voice[d] by Tara Strong?" she said.

• Token Evil Teammate: Haruna Saotome, even more than in Negima. She laughs evilly more than ever, still considers everything in terms of how it will help her take over the world, and, most tellingly, has a tech person called "The Calculator", rather than "Oracle". Its actually Chisame and not Noah Cuttler, but given that she's named after him, and not the former Batgirl...
  • Not only that, but Haruna's codename is Kira Death Note Paru-sama. The characters even lampshade how Obviously Evil she is.
  • Also, Tomoyo.
  • For Team Fate, Kuro.
• Trial by Friendly Fire: Chrono Tempus tries to do this against Vita, who was being held by Sailor Pluto. It didn't work.
• Tropes Will Ruin Your Life: The author admits that he's not only using TV Tropes heavily, but is trying to get on as many trope pages as possible. It has also ruined the life of several of the characters.
  • All the Tropes Will Ruin Your Vocabulary: perhaps one of the first examples of a media in which the characters have more or less begun to suffer this, although how much of that is the result of the author suffering from it is debatable.
• Unusual Euphemism: The Wolkenritter use the terms "honest-to-Hayate", "Hayate damned" and "Hayate damn it" when they swear.
• Villain Override: Heroic version; One of Berserker's Noble Phantasm, Knight of Justice, enables him to control magical devices and even Green Lantern ring without user's permission.
• We Could Have Avoided All This: Before giving his Linker Core to the Wolkenritter, Archer explains that, yes, all the enemies they faced before would have gladly given their own Linker Cores without resistance if they can act more diplomatically and explain everything before resorting to violence.
• What Happened to the Mouse?: Twenty chapters later and no sign of Sinestro. Green Lantern-chan still remembers him, though.
• Workaholic: Nanoha.
• You and What Army?: Vita falls victim to this after Tomoyo invoked this trope at her, after she got the response wrong and Tomoyo explained how things are supposed to be done. Later, they used it against the Sailor Senshi and Super Young Team team-up, and it's Shy Crazy Lolita Canary Sailor Jupiter who fell victim.
• You Can Talk: Everyone's reaction to Cassandra talking during the Wolkenritter attack on Mahora.
• You Don't Want to Die a Virgin, Do You?: Suzuka attempts this with Alisa when they get pulled into a barrier by the Book of Darkness. Alisa doesn't go for it.
• You Just Told Me: Averted. After finding that her artifact can read Sailor Moon's mind when looking for 'Serenity', Nodoka deliberately skips the first few pages, knowing that among the first entries will be something on the order of 'Good thing she doesn't know my real name is XXXXX'.
• You Will Not Evade Me: Signum pulls this against Syaoran. It's pretty much the only reason the Wolkenritter didn't end up empty-handed.
• Your Head Asplode: What the Disclaimer likes to warn us may happen.
