Line 6:
The second series, ''Farewell to Arms'' follows Yumeko as she lives in hiding in the United States, recovering from the events of ''Next Generation'', while dealing with living in a new country and trying to stay off of Genom's radar.
 
After this, is ''Three Knights'', an [[Intercontinuity Crossover]] between Next Generation, [[The Bubblegum Zone (Fanfic)|The Bubblegum Zone]] and ''Bubblegum Avatar'' as three fifth-sabers must join together to thwart the plans of Largo and some great evil.
 
Fourth, is ''Half Moon''. The OMS is stolen by unknown perpetrators, while Yumeko finds an abandoned girl on the streets of Megatokyo, who appears to be suffering from amnesia.
Line 28:
* [[Cold-Blooded Torture]]: In ''Half Moon'', Yumeko is subjected to torture playing on her hydrophobia.
* [[Determinator]]: Yumeko recovers, and goes on to compete in the Olympic Games.
* [[Disappeared Dad]]: Not only has Yumeko never met her father, she doesn't know who he is. Though that's ''[[Rape Asas Backstory|for good reason]].''
* [[Does Not Like Men]]: Yumeko. Oh, where to start? First there's the fact her dad is a rapist. Plus the fact that she's been a [[Lust Object]] "since [she] grew tits," and of course inheriting Priss' attitude and good looks doesn't help there. ''Plus'' the fact that {{spoiler|Masahiro, who she grudgingly admits she had a crush on before the stories began, slept with Michiko and promptly dumped her afterwards}}. On top of ''that'', {{spoiler|she's been [[Attempted Rape|almost raped]] several times over the course of the stories}}. There are only a handful of guys she learns to trust even a little: Greg, Bert (both of them), and Craig.
* [[Doorstopper]]: It's not small, consisting of three main stories, and a number of smaller side-stories.
* [[Earn Your Happy Ending]]: Yumeko goes through hell, but the series still has an overall positive tone.
* [[Ethical Slut]]: Xania.
* [[Expanded Universe]]: Yumeko joins Bert Van Vliet of ''[[The Bubblegum Zone (Fanfic)|The Bubblegum Zone]]'' and Craig A. Reed of ''Bubblegum Avatar'' in the [[Intercontinuity Crossover]] fic ''Three Knights''. Yumeko also meets Meg of ''Yours Truly 2032'' in a separate side story.
* [[Expository Hairstyle Change]] Yumeko's always kept her hair at shoulder-length, but after ''Three Knights'' decides to grow it out. By ''Half Moon'' it's down to the middle of her back. Also, Nene has a bob in the stories as opposed to the long hair she had in the OVA.
* [[Fan Verse]]: Others have tried to write fics set in the Next Gen universe.
Line 45:
* [[Lust Object]]: Yumeko. Masahiro sees her as the ultimate conquest, in large part due to her still being a virgin.
* [[Making a Spectacle of Yourself]]: Xania is almost ALWAYS seen wearing John Lennon-style shades with pink-tinted lenses.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Priss gave Yumeko her name (which literally translates to "child of dreams") due to having constant dreams about her before she was born. Also alluding to the fact that she really should never have come to be (Priss means this only in the kindest way), but [[Rape Asas Backstory|certain circumstances]] made it happen anyway.
* [[Messy Hair]]: Xania. Such a trademark that the first time Yumeko saw her with it in a more normal style (and wearing no shades), she didn't recognize her.
* [[Multicolored Hair]]: Michiko's hair is predominantly black with several small blond streaks, and in elementary school was often referred to as the "[[Skunk Stripe|skunk-haired girl]]."
Line 51:
* [[Original Flavour]]: One of the best examples in BGC fandom.
* [[Point of View|First Person fic]]
* [[Put Onon a Bus]]: An interesting example, in that it's the protagonist who's put on a bus for her own protection, and the story follows her.
* [[Quest for Identity]]: Pretty much the driving force behind the beginning of ''Half Moon'' regarding Emi. {{spoiler|Which [[No Good Deed Goes Unpunished|REALLY]] [[Cold-Blooded Torture|screws Yumeko]] [[Attempted Rape|every way around]].}}
* [[Rape Asas Backstory]]: Priss was raped shortly after coming home from her first tour, which is how she [[Child Byby Rape|got pregnant with Yumeko]].
* [[Robot Girl]]: {{spoiler|Emi}}
* [[Scars Are Forever]]: Yumeko's body tells the story of her first year as a Knight Saber all too well.
