* CatchPhrase: For the Alliance, "You are not alone". The thread itself also has the unofficial motto '''''"[[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica INCUBATOR MUST DIE!!!]]"'''''

* ButtMonkey: OC Shinichi Haibara, living in the ''Edogawa'' Ward of Tokyo. Aside for the ''Manga/DetectiveConan''-themed mocking he gets for his name and getting his gang ''stolen'' by Kai, [[BullyingTheDragon his constant attempts at defeating Kai and getting back his gang]] have landed him in a lot of unnecessary trouble, including but not limited to being summarily thrown in the trash. He couldn't even manage to [[DealWithTheDevil sell his soul to the devil]], as [[ItMakesSenseInContext Minako exorcised the demon-summoning book he had just bought when she passed him]].

* AlternateUniverse: ''Anime/StrikeWitches'' and ''LightNovel/InfiniteStratos'' are here in spirit [[PragmaticAdaptation if not in canon]], with their characters and concepts uprooted from their original settings and replaced here in convenient places.
** To elaborate: ''Anime/StrikeWitches'' is more or less directly imported from the alternate 1940s setting it takes place in, with the Neuroi being among the numerous extradimensional invaders harassing Earth and the Striker Units being the military's attempts to subvert PoliceAreUseless via {{Magitek}}. ''LightNovel/InfiniteStratos'', likewise, covers life at a magic academy [[Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaStrikers where Nanoha is one of the top combat instructors]], with the IS units being Earth-produced devices reverse-engineered from Belkan and Mid-Childan tech.

* NoSell: High-level monsters and eldritch abominations can do this to all mundane weapons regardless of how much 'boom' they have due to the [[{{LightNovel/Slayers}} mazoku-like]] quality of having their true forms hidden away in the astral plane, where only magic can reach them and hurt them.

** [[LightNovel/InfiniteStratos Tabane Shinonono]] is mentioned as having invented this verse' version of the Infinite Stratos system and being the main creator of the SF-1 'Al'yans' (a SpaceFighter put together in record time from already existing technologies to work as stopgap while the technologies for something better were reverse-engineered from the TSAB ships).

Due the hurry it was put together from already existing technologies (the fuselage from the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikoyan-Gurevich_MiG-105 MiG-105]], the rockets created by Northrop Grumman based on the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_Martin_X-33 X-33]], electronics derived from a number of European designs, and as armament the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mauser_BK-27 BK-27]] (they couldn't find a way to put the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GAU-8_Avenger GAU-8]] on an internal mount as they wanted, and the BK-27 was the next best thing) and the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AS-16_Kickback Raduga Kh-15]]) by a team led by [[LightNovel/InfiniteStratos Tabane Shinonono]] (who also made it pilotable by normal people). It's a stopgap measure, phased out as soon as something better could be put together thanks to the TSAB technology made available;

** [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Mami Tomoe]] is the single most powerful ''Puella Magi'' ever (at least before Madoka) and [[HeartIsAnAwesomePower has a power that, once she got the hang of it, proved itself a]] GameBreaker, making her the single most lethal ''Puella Magi'' around (she's known as [[RedBaron Mami the Invincible]], and Sakura and Homura could barely believe their eyes when they saw another Magical Girl holding her own in single combat against her). She's also a StepfordSmiler so depressed she ''cannot go all out'' unless she [[spoiler: knows she cannon possibly survive the battle]]. She was also mentored by a pair of ''Puellae Magi'' she describes as formidable but also "one bad advice away from trying to destroy the world";

* NamesTheSame: The [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Incubators]] are all referred as either Kyubey or Qbey. The only exception is the one that follows [[Anime/BakutenShootBeyblade Ming-Ming]] around, who is referred as R-Bey and then as S-Bey (Ming Ming goes to the following letter every time it dies).

Removing ZCE for trope being cleaned up.


* SharedUniverse


* OriginalGeneration: Since the vast majority of all magical girls reside in Japan, a host of original characters (of [[SturgeonsLaw varying]] quality) has sprung up to fill out the international community. Few of these characters are involved with the core plot, save for Akiko and the Nightmare Factory.

Simple Staff has been disambiguated


** Not a MagicalGirl, but [[Manga/RanmaOneHalf Soun Tendo]] has no qualms using maiming moves or simple weapons like the SimpleStaff, the fork, the pepper spray, and the ''gun'' ([[LoopholeAbuse as a sporting or hunting implement, of course. If they have to use lethal force to defend themselves and happen to have the gun around, then too bad for the criminal]]). ''Then'' there are the advanced techniques. Soun was hired to teach Naru and Umino self-defense;

These examples of Surprisingly Realistic Outcome seem to violate at least one of these rules, which disqualifies them: No character reactions (characters get angry, don't forgive, don't change their personality instantly, etc.); Too fantastical (depends on the properties of magic, powers, sci-fi tech, monsters, etc.); Not surprising (a character was warned about the outcome, it's used to provide Karma or An Aesop, or it simply follows normal conventions for this genre or medium); Plot happens (the example only describes an event, but not why audiences would expect a different, unrealistic outcome); Not an outcome (a character just explains why something wouldn't work as expected); More of a Deconstruction (the event has major, lasting effects on the plot, make something more realistic, but not completely realistic, or a parody/fanwork applies realistic consequences to the events of a different work); or fits better under a different trope. See the trope's definition for more details. If you believe a removal was a mistake, please bring it up in the cleanup thread.


* CommieNazis: Done because one of the authors needed someone the guards at a Russian prison camp would be happy to shoot. [[LampshadeHanging The narration points out the sheer absurdity and that the guy is an idiot who can't tell the difference between a communist leader and the most infamous Neo Nazi of Russia]], and that [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome he's the most hated inmate at the prison camp]], [[EvenEvilHasStandards despised even by those who are hated by their fellow prisoners]].

* PoliceAreUseless: Played even more than in the original. On one hand, not only the police weapons are inefficient against most magical enemies, but [[AllThereInTheManual production notes specify that most Japanese police forces managed to alienate the magical girls]] due [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome their Real Life excessive conformism and despisal of young people who don't fully conform]] (and most magical girls qualify due naturally having hair of improbable or supposedly impossible colours). On the other hand, police forces in general can provide training and other support (and in fact Minako roped one of Tokyo's cops into giving the other Sailor Senshi some judo lessons), Tokyo Metropolitan Police and the police of Mitakihara are less prejudiced due their commanders and provide help, two of Tokyo's most prominent police officers are [[Anime/SailorMoon Minako Aino]] and someone implied being [[spoiler: ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'']], and the Italian ''Guardia di Finanza'' ([[IntimidatingRevenueService a military police force specialized in financial crimes]]) managed to damage the Nightmare Factory's operations by discovering they hadn't paid some taxes and ''collecting a large part of their liquid and solid assets'' (plus indirectly leaking the locations of their bases to any magical girl with a government connection).

* TookALevelInBadass: Done ''literally'' with the Sailor Senshi: after Galaxia, Minako forced her fellow Sailor Senshi to [[BoxingLessonsForSuperman take an extremely hard training]], resulting in them taking several levels. Played straight with Minako (as Galaxia's incident makes her finally [[WillfullyWeak stop holding back when her friends are around to see]]), Mamoru (whose actions in the anime are explained as realizing [[OvershadowedByAwesome how outmatched he was getting]] but ''still'' finding a way to be useful. He can also take down Sailor Star Fighter if she's not expecting it) and Michiru ([[KnifeNut who is noted as rather good with the knife even before Minako's training]]. [[InexplicablyAwesome Nobody knows why nor dares to ask her]]).
