White Devil of the Moon: Difference between revisions

Line 11:

* [[Added Alliterative Appeal]]: Chapter 12, "Strike, Scapegoat, Sacrifice"

* [[A Handful for An Eye]]: Ami throws a handful of magically created ice crystals into the face of a youma to distract it long enough to transform.

* [[Alternate Universe]]: Nanoha got injured at 16, not 12 like in canon. This is an author-induced change invoked partially to reduce the squick factor in the [[May December Romance|Nanoha/Mamoru]] pairing and partially to assist with the problem of two middle-school students living on their own and not attending school (High school being optional in Japan).

* [[Anger Born of Worry]]: Fate scolds Nanoha for overexerting herself again, telling her how much she's worried about her.

* [[Anvil On Head]]: Mercury fires a Shabon Spray Freezing into a cloud, creating the largest hailstone in history, {{spoiler|which lands on top of Zoicite.}}

Line 24:

* [[Bleed Em and Weep]]: Fate, {{spoiler|after killing Precia}}.

* [[Blood From the Mouth]]: Precia, who is dying from her radiation poisoning.

* [[Blood Splattered Wedding Dress]]: Miyuki's bridesmaid's gown, after the fight breaks out. The actual bride's dress did not end up like that (or at least not as severely), as Shinobu wasn't participating in the fight.

* [[Blood-Splattered Wedding Dress]]: Miyuki's bridesmaid's gown, after the fight breaks out. The actual bride's dress did not end up like that (or at least not as severely), as Shinobu wasn't participating in the fight.

* [[Bouquet Toss]]: Minako would have caught it, if she hadn't immediately rushed to Nanoha's side after her collapse.

* [[Boxed Crook]]: The Sailor Senshi, having assaulted Fate and Arf in their attempts to reach out to Nanoha, get the same treatment as some of Nanoha's [[Heel Face Turn|former]] [[Defeat Means Friendship|enemies]] did, avoiding formal punishment by means of community service.

Line 52:

* [[Early Bird Cameo]]: {{spoiler|Alicia's first best friend on Earth? Hotaru Tomoe.}}

* [[Everyone Can See It|Everyone Could See It]]: {{spoiler|Apparently pretty much all of Nanoha and Fate's friends had a betting pool going on when they'd hook up for several years.}}

* [[Finger Twitching Revival]]: {{spoiler|Alicia, revealing that stolen life energy can be used to revive her.}}

* [[Finger-Twitching Revival]]: {{spoiler|Alicia, revealing that stolen life energy can be used to revive her.}}

* [[For Want of a Nail]]: According to the prologue, it seems the whole reason that 'Princess Serenity' was reborn as Nanoha rather than Usagi (who does exist, just not as anyone significant) was because Queen Serenity flubbed the reincarnation spell due to her injuries.

* [[Flanderization]]: Luna's character has been stripped down to almost nothing. See the entry for [[Disco Dan]]; that's more or less ''her entire purpose'' in the story.

* [[Game Breaking Injury]]: One of the factors about Nanoha that makes Fate keep rebuffing Luna. After Nanoha kills Jadeite, she faints. Shamal then orders Nanoha not to use ''any'' magic for the foreseeable future.

* [[Get a Hold of Yourself Man]]: When Nanoha goes all worrywart about Princess Serenity's memories affecting her psyche, {{spoiler|Fate decides to [[First Kiss|make her]] [[Relationship Upgrade|feelings known.]]}}

* [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!]]: When Nanoha goes all worrywart about Princess Serenity's memories affecting her psyche, {{spoiler|Fate decides to [[First Kiss|make her]] [[Relationship Upgrade|feelings known.]]}}

* [[Heel Realization]]: {{spoiler|Precia, in her dying moments, realizes that she should have treated Fate as a daughter and used her remaining time to set things right}}

Line 73:

** Justified in that it's actually a Senshi training simulator in disguise and Nanoha is already a veteran [[Magical Girl]].

* [[Kneel Before Frodo]]: The four Senshi kneel before Nanoha, prompting Hayate to take a picture before reminding them that when their monarch is in uniform, they must bow rather than kneel.

* [[Last Name Basis]]: Used among the Senshi to indicate that rather than being [[Nakama]], they would not voluntarily associate with one another. Hayate also calls Mars "Hino-san".

* [[Last-Name Basis]]: Used among the Senshi to indicate that rather than being [[Nakama]], they would not voluntarily associate with one another. Hayate also calls Mars "Hino-san".

* [[Love Ruins the Realm]]: As Nanoha points out, the Dark Kingdom invasion is only one possible negative outcome of Serenity's trips to Earth and affair with Endymion.

* [[Loving a Shadow]]: Nanoha wonders if Mamoru is doing this with her.

Line 95:

** Also, {{spoiler|after Miyuki is interrogated by Beryl}}, she says to her face that Nanoha has no interest in Endymion at all, and is perfectly happy with Fate. And that if Beryl hadn't ordered the attack on the wedding, Nanoha wouldn't have even gotten involved. Beryl goes into a combination of [[BSOD]] and denial mode.

* [[Mythology Gag]]: Nanoha notices that the bodyguard of a family friend bears a close resemblance to Fate, referencing said bodyguard's existence in [[Triangle Heart 3]]. At least some wedding guests thought they ''were'' siblings.

* [[Out of Character Moment]]: Some see Nanoha's [[Calling the Old Man Out|Calling The Old Woman Out]] as this, not necessarily because of her arguments (Nanoha is considerably more responsible than Usagi or Serenity), but because throughout, Nanoha is completely blunt and holds nothing back. Others suggest that her emotional state at the time influenced it.

* [[Out-of-Character Moment]]: Some see Nanoha's [[Calling the Old Man Out|Calling The Old Woman Out]] as this, not necessarily because of her arguments (Nanoha is considerably more responsible than Usagi or Serenity), but because throughout, Nanoha is completely blunt and holds nothing back. Others suggest that her emotional state at the time influenced it.

** Numerous other examples as well for many characters, to the point of being [[In Name Only]] in some examples. For instance, when you consider that even ''[[Complete Monster|Quattro]]'' couldn't provoke Nanoha into using lethal force in the main series, her vaporizing Jadeite without so much as batting an eye can't be anything ''but'' this.

*** It should be noted that Nanoha had already rescued Vivio by the time she blasted Quattro. Jadeite was still a major threat to not only Nanoha's entire family but dozens of innocents when she blasted him. Additionally she was still injured and likely knew she would only get one shot against what was basically an unknown opponent, it's no wonder she hit him with everything she had.

Line 102:

** If you go over the opening chapters and look at what each party is saying to the other from only one perspective at a time, it's more understandable as to ''why'' said poor communication turned out so disastrously. As Fate said, "It doesn't matter what is true, but what the person ''believes'' to be true."

* [[Post Mortem One Liner]]: "Was there anybody ''else'' who had a reason why these two should not be wed?"

* [[Power Creep Power Seep]]: Naturally, there has to be a bit of power level balancing to be done with this sort of crossover, given the two different magics at work. Gets sort of ridiculous in chapter 6, however, where Jupiter is said to have knocked out two TSAB [[Mooks]] with her ''bare hands''.

* [[Power Creep, Power Seep]]: Naturally, there has to be a bit of power level balancing to be done with this sort of crossover, given the two different magics at work. Gets sort of ridiculous in chapter 6, however, where Jupiter is said to have knocked out two TSAB [[Mooks]] with her ''bare hands''.

** Possibly justified – Jupiter is the only one of the Inners with any kind of formal martial arts training, and the average TSAB mook is a [[Squishy Wizard]] due to the TSAB putting more focus on magical combat than hand-to-hand. When Makoto trains with Zafira, who ''is'' extremely skilled, she gets her ass kicked several times before she manages to win even a single spar.

** Done ''extremely'' weirdly. [[Word of God]] says the Senshi are badasses for holding off the Dark Kingdom for a year by themselves and their power levels are roughly equivalent to A-rank mages by the Bureau's reckoning, which is a significant boost over their usual performance. In practice, however, they fight with no more competence than they showed in the anime -- arguably ''less'' of it -- and struggle to defeat enemies that A-rank mages should be able to steamroll. For instance, one of Precia's [[Mecha Mooks]] (which they have no reason to hold back against) takes the entire team to bring down ''after'' analyzing it for weak points.

Line 139:

* [[The Unmasqued World]]: {{spoiler|The truth of the wedding attack is public as there are too many witnesses and photos of the Senshi, and Nanoha's family are now being hounded by lots of interested people.}}

* [[Unskilled but Strong]]: The Sailor Senshi, partly due to not operating under the same rules of engagement as the Bureau and partly due to not having much experience, are currently roughly equivalent to A rank, but have the potential to fight at AAA rank level.

* [[Villain Ball]]: If Beryl wasn't so determined to kill Nanoha, it's ''highly'' likely that Nanoha and Fate would still be suspicious of the Sailor Senshi. [[Nice Job Fixing It Villain|Way to go, Beryl...]]

* [[Villain Ball]]: If Beryl wasn't so determined to kill Nanoha, it's ''highly'' likely that Nanoha and Fate would still be suspicious of the Sailor Senshi. [[Nice Job Fixing It, Villain|Way to go, Beryl...]]

** {{spoiler|Precia's method of drawing energy at a hospital is arguably too blatant and serves to draw the attention of the TSAB fairly quickly, resulting in Alicia ending up in Bureau custody}}.

* [[We Could Have Avoided All This]]: A common theme in [[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha (Anime)|MGLN's first]] [[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha As (Anime)|two seasons]], and in full force here. Venus even quotes the trope title in Chapter 5.

* [[Wedding Smashers]]: Jadeite tries to attack Nanoha at her brother's wedding. ''[[Crazy Prepared|Big]]'' [[Curb Stomp Battle|mistake]].

* [[What the Hell Hero]]: Mercury and Venus call out Mars and Jupiter for their attacks on Fate, noting that, among other things, it makes them harder for Nanoha to trust.

* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Mercury and Venus call out Mars and Jupiter for their attacks on Fate, noting that, among other things, it makes them harder for Nanoha to trust.

* [[Wild Card|Wild Cards]]: {{spoiler|[[Evil Matriarch|Precia]] and [[Mad ~~Scientists~~ Beautiful Daughter|Alicia Testarossa]]. There is a [[Melee a Trois]] between Sailor Mars, [[Evil Versus Evil|Precia Testarossa, and Zoicite]].}}

* [[Wild Card|Wild Cards]]: {{spoiler|[[Evil Matriarch|Precia]] and [[Mad Scientist's Beautiful Daughter|Alicia Testarossa]]. There is a [[Melee a Trois]] between Sailor Mars, [[Evil Versus Evil|Precia Testarossa, and Zoicite]].}}

* [[Wrong Genre Savvy]]: Luna takes one look at Fate's barrier jacket -- black color scheme, metal gauntlets, ominous-looking cape, etc etc -- and immediately decides that Fate's a [[Dark Magical Girl]]. She's right about that part at least, but because of her belief that [[Dark Is Evil]] ([[Justified Trope|True]] in [[Sailor Moon]], FALSE in [[Lyrical Nanoha]]), she makes an immediate jump from [[Dark Magical Girl]] to [[Evil Counterpart|Dark Senshi]].

* [[Wrong Name Outburst]]: Mamoru addresses Nanoha as Serenity. Given that Nanoha was talking about [[I Hate Past Me|how much she disapproved of the decisions she made in her previous life]] at the time, it didn't go over well.
