Takamachi Nanoha of 2814: Difference between revisions

Line 16:

* [[Anything That Moves]]: Caster-Hayate according to Archer.

* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: Nanoha did this to Precia, kinda.

{{quote| "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 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

{{quote| "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:

{{quote| 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!"}}

{{quote| "For threatening our world!" Eternal Sailor Moon cried.}}

{{quote|"For threatening our world!" Eternal Sailor Moon cried.}}

{{quote| "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.}}

{{quote|"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. {{spoiler|Just like [[The Joker|dear old Dad]].}}

Line 32:

** 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 {{spoiler|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]]: ''[[Badass Bookworm|Yue]]'', [[Beware the Nice Ones|of all people,]] gets one:

{{quote| "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 [[Warrior Prince|Last Prince of Ostia and Vespertatia, his Highness, the savior of Mundus Magicus]]! We are the reason why!... [[The Princess Bride (film)|Hello. My name is Valkyrie Black. You attacked my teacher. Prepare to die.]] We fight!"}}

{{quote|"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 [[Warrior Prince|Last Prince of Ostia and Vespertatia, his Highness, the savior of Mundus Magicus]]! We are the reason why!... [[The Princess Bride (film)|Hello. My name is Valkyrie Black. You attacked my teacher. Prepare to die.]] We fight!"}}

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

{{quote| "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!"}}

{{quote|"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:

{{quote| "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!"~~ ~~

{{quote|"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*~~ ~~

*pose*

"Magical Girl Green Lantern, Zenryoku Zenkai! Ready for action!" }}

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

{{quote| “In days of peace, in times of war,~~ ~~

{{quote|“In days of peace, in times of war,

Protect our Queen forever more!~~ ~~

Protect our Queen forever more!

The five Clouds stand, we are her Knights!~~ ~~

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 <s>Red Lantern</s>Crimson Agency oath {{spoiler|implied to include '''Negi Springfield''' in its ranks, if not as the founder!}}:

{{quote| "With blood and rage of crimson red, ~~ ~~

{{quote|"With blood and rage of crimson red,

Ripped from a corpse so freshly dead!~~ ~~

Ripped from a corpse so freshly dead!

Together with my hellish hate,~~ ~~

Together with my hellish hate,

none other shall share in my fate!" }}

*** The Blue <s>Lantern</s>Angel oath {{spoiler|which is shaping up to have been founded by '''[[Cardcaptor Sakura|Kinomoto Sakura]]}}''':

{{quote| "In fearful day, when without light… ~~ ~~

{{quote|"In fearful day, when without light…

With my heart full, my soul ignites!~~ ~~

With my heart full, my soul ignites!

When all seems lost, and black as night,~~ ~~

When all seems lost, and black as night,

look to her star, for Hope burns bright…" }}

*** The Star Sapphire Oath (unchanged but still badass) {{spoiler|of which Tomoyo is a member}}:

{{quote| "For hearts long lost and full of fright,~~ ~~

{{quote|"For hearts long lost and full of fright,

For those alone in blackest night,~~ ~~

For those alone in blackest night,

Accept our ring and join our fight -~~ ~~

Accept our ring and join our fight -

Love conquers all - with violet light!" }}

*** And the oath of the <s>goddamned Sinestro Corps</s> Order of Fate {{spoiler|Testarossa!}}:

{{quote| "In blackest day, in endless night…~~ ~~

{{quote|"In blackest day, in endless night…

We turn our fears into our light!~~ ~~

We turn our fears into our light!

Let all who wish to do what's right…~~ ~~

Let all who wish to do what's right…

Join HER order, make tomorrow bright!" }}

*** And now the oath of the White Lanterns{{spoiler|, who seem to have Tuxedo Kamen as a member going by the ring of the Earth King}}:

{{quote| "The Brightest Day is on the rise~~ ~~

{{quote|"The Brightest Day is on the rise

The light shall soar as darkness flies.~~ ~~

The light shall soar as darkness flies.

We guard all life from evil's blights.~~ ~~

We guard all life from evil's blights.

Destiny awaits! Shine, White Knights!" }}

** Also the aria for Archer's [[Rewriting Reality|Reality Marble]], [[Hyperspace Arsenal|Unlimited]] [[Field of Blades|Blade]] [[Storm of Blades|Works]], which shared by at least ''three'' characters:

*** Archer {{spoiler|And at some point, Berserker using Archer Class Card and infected Shamal using Book of Darkness}}

{{quote| "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!!"}}

{{quote|"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:

{{quote| [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|"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!!"]] }}

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

{{quote| "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!!"}}

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, {{spoiler|Tomoyo-chan}} and {{spoiler|her [[Naruto|bodyguard squad]].}}

Line 107:

** 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.

* [[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 {{spoiler|Tomoyo, the founder of Sakura-ism.}}

Line 122:

* [[Darker and Edgier]]/[[Lighter and Softer]]: Paradoxically, both at once. Intersecting with ''[[Fate/stay night|Fate Stay Night]]'' and [[Gate Keepers]] makes the ''[[Nanoha As]]'' 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.

{{quote| "I am going to die a virgin," Tuxedo Kamen said, then added conscientiously, "[[Oh, No, Not Again|Again]]."}}

{{quote|"I am going to die a virgin," Tuxedo Kamen said, then added conscientiously, "[[Oh, No, Not Again|Again]]."}}

* [[Deliberately Cute Child]]: {{spoiler|Tomoyo. And she is good at it.}}

* [[Delicious Distraction]]: Ice cream is really tasty. Too tasty perhaps.

Line 130:

* [[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]].

{{quote| ''[[Madness Mantra|...I don't want to die, I don't want to die, I don't want to die...]]''}}

{{quote|''[[Madness Mantra|...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...

Line 151:

* [[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.

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

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

* [[Lady of War]]: Several. Signum, Lady Shiva {{spoiler|who manages to knock-out Zafira in hand-to-hand combat and looks incredibly cool while doing it}}, Sailor Pluto {{spoiler|who combined this with ''[[Drunken Master]]''}}, and {{spoiler|Tomoyo}}, although maybe too young for this trope, but manages to keep her {{spoiler|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 [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6095074/11/Takamachi_Nanoha_of_2814 chapters], almost literally. The lampshade hanging ''itself'' is, at one point, lampshaded.

Line 177:

* [[Purple Prose]]: How Vita sees ''Hayate''.

** Tomoyo is also prone to this, in her [[Church Militant]] mode.

{{quote| "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:

{{quote| "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 [[Take That|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 [[Sturgeon's Law|bad fics]] to even try to get it down. I [[Narm|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 ''[[Giftedly Bad|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]]

Line 197:

** Negi's triumphant return to <s>manhood</s> boyhood, and the girls' reaction, is a wonderful [[Shout-Out]] to the famous "Suit Up" scene from [[How I Met Your Mother]].

** From Fate:

{{quote| "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. [[Monty Python and The Holy Grail|"You Frenchman! Ni! Ni!"]]}}

{{quote|"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. [[Monty Python and The Holy Grail|"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 {{spoiler|[[Fate/Zero|Lancelot's]]}}

Line 219:

*** 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 [[Japanese Honorifics|-sama]] for two people. The other one is '''Superman'''.)

* [[Tara Strong]]: Voices Ring-chan. Yes, a voice actor in a text only medium.

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

{{quote|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 [[Batman|"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 [[Death Note|Kira Death Note]] Paru-sama. The characters even lampshade how [[Obviously Evil]] she is.
