* DudleyDoRightStopsToHelp: A recurring theme is how Empress [[ChronicHeroSyndrome wants to help everyone she can]], no matter the cost. Even though she's on a race against time to destroy Artemis' Orbital Elevator before its completion, she constantly stops to assist others in need; on multiple occasions this leads to herself or Black Trike getting damaged, which results in further detours while they track down the materials needed for repairs. As a result, [[spoiler:they fail to reach the Orbital Elevator in time and Lunatic is able to begin an OrbitalBombardment that kills many of the people she spent all that time saving in the first place]].

This needs a proper synopsis at some point, but I'm in spoiler avoidance mode right now, so I'm just copy-pasting things with minimal edits and hoping my memory retention is still as garbage as its been lately.

!!Provides examples of:
[[folder: ''Black★★Rock Shooter: Dawn Fall'']]
* TwoDVisualsThreeDEffects: More than the other two anime. With characters flip-flopping between both mediums on a regular basis; while vehicles, mecha and effects are shown in 3D only.
* AGodAmI: [[spoiler:Lunatic prides herself as one, with the end of the series being a final battle against her as she unleashes swaths of enemies and meteors to wipe out all land-dwelling life and start humanity again.]]
* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: Compared to the other animated versions of B★RS, Empress seems to have a DarkAndTroubledPast that also ropes in Dead Master and Strength and may have something to do with their hostility towards her.
* AdaptationalHeroism: While Dead Master and Strength are ''still'' at odds with Empress at the start of the series, [[spoiler:this is the first time they willingly teamed up with her against a much greater threat, albeit [[EnemyMine not for altruistic reasons]]]]. It is later revealed in flashbacks that [[spoiler:both Dead Master and Strength were already on Empress' side even before the Institution's invasion began and [[HeelFaceRevolvingDoor their initial hostility towards her]] is actually the result of their minds being messed up after [[DownerBegining their disastrous first confrontation against the]] BigBad]], playing this trope straight.
* AdaptationalJerkass: Strength is more of {{Jerkass}} in this continuity: she has a personal beef with Empress (mainly due to believing that all of her pain and suffering is all Empress' fault) [[spoiler: and later acts like an AloofAlly towards her in later episodes]], whereas the previous animated versions of their relationship are either nonexistent (OVA) or mostly just seeing each other as obstacles [[spoiler:and the ''real'' Strength outright being friends with B★RS' counterpart (TV anime)]]. This later zig-zagged, as Episode 5 reveals that [[spoiler:Strength has a SplitPersonality: she acts like a violent, mean-spirited, and sharp-tongued {{Ladette}} with her Gigantic Arms on and her personality suddenly shifts into that of a wimpy NiceGirl if they're taken off]].
* AdaptationalSkimpiness:
** B★RS does not have her signature BadassLongcoat this time around.
** Dead Master wears a sleeveless gray skin-tight bodysuit and a short cape instead of an ElegantGothicLolita dress.
** Strength switches her signature sleeveless hoodie for a more tattered clothing.
* AdaptationalSpeciesChange: Empress, Dead Master, and Strength, who were originally [[ADarkerMe Other Selves]] in the OVA and TV Anime, are {{Cyborg}}s here.
* AfterTheEnd: The series takes place in a ''Film/MadMax''-inspired wasteland, one that seems to be toxic to most humans.
* AIIsACrapshoot: Artemis was supposed to help humanity through Elysion's automated workforce, but ended up betraying humanity and becoming the story's primary antagonist.
* ArtificialHuman: Empress is reimagined as a genetically engineered {{Cyborg}} with regenerative abilities in this series, with heavy implications that both Strength and Dead Master are the same.
* TheBadGuyWins: [[spoiler:Heavily implied in the finale that Lunatic wound up winning and killing most life living on the land.]]
* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: Empress destroys both Lunatic and the space elevator but [[HeroicSacrifice seemingly lost her life in the process]] as a result of [[DangerousForbiddenTechnique removing her limiters]]. Earth is spared as a result, but only due to Artemis postponing her plans for at least 200 years despite [[TheBadGuyWins wiping out 70% of humanity]]. Dead Master, Strength, and Colonel David perished while battling the Institition, and Isana is finished off by a meteorite. However, Empress' death [[DeathIsCheap doesn't stick]], as the rest of the cast (as well as the child clones of Dead Master and Strength) saw her resurfacing again 50 years later to gun down Artemis' forces on the Moon.]]
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: The daughter of Colonel, Charlotte become this thanks to the Institute. [[spoiler:It took a beating from Empress, a {{Deprogram}}ming attempt from Monica, and a ''lot'' of convincing from Colonel to undo the brainwashing.]]
* ConvenientlyAnOrphan: [[spoiler:Empress, Dead Master, and Strength were nameless orphans who lived together in Lighthouse No. 8.]]
* CoolBike: After all previous adaptations barring ''[[VideoGame/BlackRockShooter The Game]]'' left out Black★Rock Shooter's motorcycle, in comes ''Dawn Fall'', where all three of huke's characters have them.
* CoolStarship: [[spoiler:The Black Trike is rebuilt as one in the DistantFinale.]]
* DistantFinale: [[spoiler:The second half of the final episode skips ahead 50 years.]]
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:Realizing they have a common enemy in the Educational Institution, Dead Master and Strength put aside their animosity against Empress to help take them down. [[IOweYouMyLife It helps that Empress saved them from certain death at the Institute's hands]].]]
* KillAllHumans: The Educational Institution's ultimate goal, sparing a few young girls to become the bride of one of their generals, Smiley. They particularly take umbrage against Empress, Dead Master and Strength and attack them whenever they show up, any other casualties being a bonus. [[spoiler:Lunatic engages in this mainly as a stepping stone to her real goal which is to cultivate a new humanity that can adapt to other planets.]]
* OlderThanTheyLook: [[spoiler:Even after 50 years, Charlotte and Miya still have their same youthful appearances. This is mainly due to them being pseudo-Hemitheos Units.]]
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Colonel's real name -- David -- is rarely, if ever, mentioned by the other characters.
* PrecisionFStrike:
** Strength tends to drop F-bombs and other profanities more often, something that her OVA and TV anime counterparts would never do.
** Even the ''Black Trike'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MU__rRgjzrM drops an F-bomb]].
* PuttingTheBandBackTogether: The first five episodes detail [[spoiler: Empress' rowdy reunion with the other two orphans from Lighthouse No. 8: Dead Master and Strength]].
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Series-exclusive character Monica is dressed only slightly less skimpily than the main trio.
* ThemeMusicPowerUp: [[spoiler: In the final scene, the series' theme song plays as humanity launches their counterattack against Artemis along with Dead Master, Strength, and Empress.]]
