History FanFic / BattleFantasiaProject

* AltumVidetur: Played with: on one hand, the names of the [[{{Nasuverse}} Assembly of the Eight Sacrament, the Burial Agency and the Black Keys]] were translated in Latin, with codenames and other items also having Latin names, to mimick the RealLife Catholic Church using Latin as their official language; on the other hand, most characters rarely bother using the Latin names unless they're forced (also mimicking the fact RealLife priests doing the same).

* EldritchAbomination: [[SailorMoon Chaos]] has been mentioned as being around, and [[{{Nasuverse}} the Aristoteles]] are slated to show up (in particular, Type Venus has been stated he'll appear, and Type Mercury, as in the Nasuverse, is already on Earth). Also, [[SamuraiJack Aku]] has made an appearance, and [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTVSpecials Megan Williams]] has contributed to [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Discord]]'s original defeat.

* HumanoidAbomination: The [[{{Nasuverse}} Dead Apostle Ancestors]] have showed up, with Enhance being a somewhat prominent characters.
* {{Kaiju}}: The Nightmare Factory has sicked them on Akiko's dreams and the actual Japan (where they had to face the [[WesternAnimation/MegasXLR Megas]]), and [[SamuraiJack Aku]] fought off the dream monsters in that size.
** [[{{Nasuverse}} Type Mercury and Type Venus]] are slated to show up.

** the {{Nasuverse}}, with ''Manga/FateKaleidLinerPrismaIllya'' and ''VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}}'' taking the lion share;

* NunTooHoly: The Catholic Church is even worse about this than in the {{Nasuverse}}: the reserve member of the Burial Agency is openly psychopathic, the number 4 and 3 are {{Lampshaded}} to basically be ''[[Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt Panty and Stocking]]'' ([[EvenEvilHasStandards to be fair, the other members of the Burial Agency consider them loose cannons]]), and UsefulNotes/ThePope elected in place of Benedict XVI is Constantin Vitalian from ''Suore Ninja'' (who openly admits to not believe into divine's providence).

* SeenItAll: The characters of ''Anime/{{Beyblade}}'' have this attitude due the presence of the Bit Beasts and all the weird shit that happen to them (finding out that Ming Ming was an actual MagicalGirl was only barely surprising). Particularly pronounced with Gianni Tornatore (whose family home is in the same square as the [[Manga/GunslingerGirl Social Welfare Agency]] and the [[{{Nasuverse}} Inquisition]], so [[JustifiedTrope he experiences even more weird things than other beybladers]]), the Majestics (who often visit Gianni's home), and Ming Ming (who is actually a ''[[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Puella Magi]]'', and you know what she sees on a daily basis).

** Joseph Ratzinger is a former [[{{Nasuverse}} Executor]], and, in an in-universe ShoutOut to ''Franchise/StarWars'', can still [[ShockAndAwe shoot lightnings from the hands]].

* GenreSavvy: The more experienced Magical Girls have become this:
** [[SailorMoon Sailor Venus]] knows how to do her work very well, and that being able to defend yourself in a meelee even when untransformed helps a lot;
** [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Mami Tomoe]] knows ''all'' the tricks of her particular variant of the Magical Girls;
** as soon as physically possible, [[ComicBook/{{WITCH}} the Oracle]] [[{{Defied}} defies]] the ThereAreNoTherapists trope.

* TheMasquerade: Deconstructed even more than in the original by the ''ComicBook/{{WITCH}}'' element: the mere knowledge of the [[VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}} Dead Apostle Ancestors]] [[EvilerThanThou would have been an effective deterrent against Phobos]] (and in fact the whole fourth saga is averted when Phobos remembers them and begs to be returned to his cell), the whole Ari affair is solved by getting him in contact with a psychiatrist ([[GenreSavvy what the Oracle would have done without the Veil stopping him]]), one of the potential allies the Guardians of Kandrakar were hidden from is friggin' [[spoiler: ''[[{{Badass}} Enhance]]'']], and the combination of the Veil with [[spoiler: Homura's temporal tampering in a previous timeline]] got Cornelia separated from her sister.

* OffScreenVillainDarkMatter: Explicitely {{Averted}} with the Nightmare Factory, as they put together their current force with a number of legitimate businesses, for which they're GenreSavvy enough to pay the taxes for them.

** Expressely {{Subverted}} with Enhance and Ortenrosse. The first, having been in the military special forces before becoming a vampire, is rather muscolar and knows how to fight hand-to-hand, [[GenreSavvy giving him a vantage over the other Ancestors that he's only too happy to use, as he'd lose badly if he were to fight them only magically]]. The second may be a mage, but, coming from ancient Greece of the Heroic Age, has the appropriate HeroicBuild and is a competent wrestler, and if Enhance were to attack him he'd hand him his ass with ease ([[GenreSavvy something they both know]]).

** Anime/{{Mai-HiME}} and Anime/{{Mai-Otome}}

* AlternateUniverse: ''StrikeWitches'' and ''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: ''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}}. ''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.

** Piazza Sant'Uffizio (a square in Rome) is the site of [[Anime/{{Beyblade}} Gianni Tornatore]]'s home ([[SeenItAll with all the related weird shit]]), the main office of the Inquisition ([[{{Tsukihime}} Burial Agency]] included) and the main office of the [[Manga/GunslingerGirl Social Welfare Agency]] (with the creepy girls who live there and can jump from road level to Gianni's window).

** most [[{{Tsukihime}} Dead Apostle Ancestors]] greatly fear Enhance showing up. Also, most {{Nasuverse}} characters fear the ''[[IntimidatingRevenueService Guardia di Finanza]]'' due a series of ridiculous accidents that ended with them arresting and briefly detaining ''Arcueid, Nrvnqsr Chaos and Roa'' and the three never setting the record straight (Arcueid because she doesn't care, Chaos because he prefers the rumour of getting legitimately defeated by them to the embarrassing truth, and Roa because he ''was'' legitimately defeated by them);

* TheMasquerade: Deconstructed even more than in the original by the ''ComicBook/{{WITCH}}'' element: the mere knowledge of the [[{{Tsukihime}} Dead Apostle Ancestors]] [[EvilerThanThou would have been an effective deterrent against Phobos]] (and in fact the whole fourth saga is averted when Phobos remembers them and begs to be returned to his cell), the whole Ari affair is solved by getting him in contact with a psychiatrist ([[GenreSavvy what the Oracle would have done without the Veil stopping him]]), one of the potential allies the Guardians of Kandrakar were hidden from is friggin' [[spoiler: ''[[{{Badass}} Enhance]]'']], and the combination of the Veil with [[spoiler: Homura's temporal tampering in a previous timeline]] got Cornelia separated from her sister.

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

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

** ''RoninWarriors''

** RoninWarriors

** [[SailorMoon Sailor Venus]]: her fame means that few dares committing violent crimes in Tokyo for fear of her intervention, what survivors of the Dark Kingdom are still around have a nervous breakdown at the mere ''mention'' of her name, and for some reason the [[RanmaOneHalf Chinese Amazons]] are so scared of her that the People's Republic of China can keep them in line by showing them a ''picture'' of hers and threatening to sick her on them;

* BerserkButton: Do ''not'' mock [[PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Mami]] about her loneliness. Of the first group of five who did it, four died in less than a minute (one blown up by a [[NoKillLikeOverkill thermobaric ribbon]], one hit by a ''[[{{BFG}} Tiro Finale]]'', and the last two shot on their Soul Gems), and the fifth lives in the ''terror'' of Mami showing up to finish the job ''again'' and remember to bring all she needs to burn her and freeze her to death at the same time.

** [[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";

* ButNotTooForeign: [[PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Mami Tomoe]] has Italian ancestors, explaining her looks and penchant for GratuitousItalian.

** [[PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Mami Tomoe]]'s power is to create ribbons, saying nothing on what they are made of. As a result, she complemented her usual firearms made of ribbons with tear gas ribbons, high explosive ribbons and a [[spoiler: ''[[NukeEm nuke]] ribbon'']]. She also has no qualms to use the ''[[{{BFG}} Tiro Finale]]'' on [[TalkingIsAFreeAction enemies making a monologue]] [[SubvertedTrope and expecting her to stand there and listen]]. Homura and Kyouko take after her;

* ForWantOfANail: One in-universe caused by [[TheMasquerade the Veil]]: [[PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Mami]] was ''not'' supposed to be contracted as [[spoiler: she was in the run to become [[ComicBook/{{WITCH}} the Keeper of the Heart]], and more likely to become it due being a better leader than Will and Will being more psychologically resilient]], but Kyubey couldn't see it and did it. Because of this, Mami's parents died (without the contract they would have been saved by [[spoiler: the magic of the Heart of Kandrakar]]), Mami was in Mitakihara to influence the local ''Puellae Magi'', Kyubey's already damaged sanity suffered another hit, and [[spoiler: Will Vandom did not become a ''Puella Magi'' but went to Heatherfield and became a Guardian]].

** [[PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Mami Tomoe]] knows ''all'' the tricks of her particular variant of the Magical Girls;

** [[PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Mami Tomoe]] uses meaningful (and sometimes [[{{Pun}} punny]]) [[CallingYourAttacks names for her attacks]]. For example: the Nastro Nobel (Italian for "Nobel Ribbon") is named after the inventor of dynamite and [[StuffBlowingUp explodes]], the Pianto del Rivoltoso ("Tears of the Rioter") is a blanket name for ''tear gas''-based attacks (the first time she uses it it's mentioned she has at least two variants, and choose the more toxic one for the occasion), and [[spoiler: Nella Fermi is named after the daughter of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enrico_Fermi Enrico Fermi]], [[NuclearOption one of the fathers of the atomic bomb]] and is a ''literal '''magical nuke''''']];

** PrettySammy

** In the meantime, several snippets set during the current arc help to balance this out a bit, especially the ones featuring the Kampfers and PrettySammy. Turns out that weaponized love and happiness is Super Effective against creatures made of nightmare fuel, and the Kampfers introduce a healthy dose of comedy, especially through [[GenderBender Natsuru's]] "[[PlayedForLaughs nightmare]]" of [[http://forums.spacebattles.com/showpost.php?p=5791226&postcount=4146 becoming a pregnant housewife]] at some point in his future.

* TookALevelInBadass: The Senshi are pegged somewhere in between their anime incarnations and their "love and justice-powered eldritch abomination" manga versions, while Tuxedo Mask has been dubbed Batman!Mamoru for his awesome usage of the StealthHiBye. [[PrettySammy Sammy]] is also slated to get a power-up from Tsunami to make her powers more suited for fighting evil, while Ayeka and Ryoko have inherited powers vaguely similar to those that their TenchiMuyo counterparts possess.

* NunTooHoly: The Catholic Church is even worse about this than in the {{Nasuverse}}: the reserve member of the Burial Agency is openly psychopathic, the number 4 and 3 are {{Lampshaded}} to basically be ''[[Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt Panty and Stocking]]'' ([[EvenEvilHasStandards to be fair, the other members of the Burial Agency consider them loose cannons]]), and ThePope elected in place of Benedict XVI is Constantin Vitalian from ''Suore Ninja'' (who openly admits to not believe into divine's providence).

One night in 2006, a call goes out to NHK and the Tokyo police, giving notice of a suicide jumper from the then-incomplete Tokyo Sky Tower. Ordinarily, this wouldn't be ''too'' unusual, except for one small detail: Akiko Yamaguchi, the suicide jumper, is a MagicalGirl. She has fought a long, lonely war against {{Cult}}s, a CircusOfFear, and the embodiments of fear itself for years and has reached her breaking point. She transforms on live television and takes the plunge. But before she becomes a wet crimson smear on the pavement, a black-clad angel swoops in to save her - [[LyricalNanoha Fate Testarossa]], with Nanoha Takamachi flying in shortly after.

* BroadStrokes: The general concepts of various series such as ''FateKaleidLinerPrismaIllya'' or ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' are used, but not the full continuity baggage.

** FateKaleidLinerPrismaIllya

** ''LyricalNanoha''

** the {{Nasuverse}}, with ''FateKaleidLinerPrismaIllya'' and ''VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}}'' taking the lion share;

** To elaborate: ''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}}. ''InfiniteStratos'', likewise, covers life at a magic academy [[NanohaStrikerS 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.

* LateToTheTragedy: [[FutariWaPrettyCure Honoka and Nagisa]] were busy with diplomacy business on behalf of the Dusk Zone in some of the local sub-dimensions when TheReveal happened. They came home to find the newspapers raving about Akiko and other magical girl sightings.

-->'''Julia:''' "[[LetMeGetThisStraight Let's see if I got it]]. You're telling us your sister became a magical girl after making a contract with an alien and lives in a computer half the time?"
-->'''Gianni:''' "[[BluntYes Yes]]."
-->'''Julia:''' "Ok, we've experienced weirder things."
** The Hales: Cornelia is a Guardian of Kandrakar and has attended a convention of her fans, Elizabeth is [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTVSpecials Megan Williams]] in disguise, and Harold is a bank director who [[NoodleIncident has seen too much strange things from customers, robbers and coworkers]] to get surprised when the other two spring their secrets on them.

* ForWantOfANail: One in-universe caused by [[TheMasquerade the Veil]]: [[PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Mami]] was ''not'' supposed to be contracted as [[spoiler: she was in the run to become [[ComicBook/{{WITCH}} the Keeper of the Heart]], and more likely to become it due being a better leader than Will and Will being more psychologically resilient]], but Kyubey couldn't see it and did it. Because of this, Mami's parents died (without the contact they would have been saved by [[spoiler: the magic of the Heart of Kandrakar]]), Mami was in Mitakihara to influence the local ''Puellae Magi'', Kyubey's already damaged sanity suffered another hit, and [[spoiler: Will Vandom would have become a ''Puella Magi'' and likely never arrived in Heatherfield]].

** MasakazuKatsura was enrolled by Minako to [[WhoWouldWantToWatchUs draw a manga about Star Reverie]]. He mentioned that Minako owed him a favour due [[NoodleIncident that time she barged in his home and nearly tortured him]] when she mistook him making the [[Manga/DNA2 Mega Playboy]] ThePornomancer as an oblique reference to her ability to bring people in love with her own presence and believed he could see the future as the justification for her asking him and not Creator/NaokoTakeuchi or Creator/GoNagai.

** the [[GunslingerGirl Section 2 of the Social Welfare Agency]]. Members of the Five Republics who believe in the child assassins' existance are easily identified due the sheer terror for any little girl, and at their trial the Mafia bosses that were arrested by their first action ''demanded life in prison'' for fear of the ''thing'' (they never saw the girl) that killed their bodyguards.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: The implications of the existance of the [[GunslingerGirl Social Welfare Agency]] and their child assassins aren't skirted over, but they choose only girls who would otherwise die and are beyond the DespairEventHorizon and take offence to anyone alleging Section 2 exists to recover the costs of developing the protesis and hypnotic conditioning that make it possible.

** ''Anime/GunslingerGirl''

* ThePrankster: [[SailorMoon Minako]]. Her presents in particular tend to include some kind of joke (like giving Sailor Pluto a [[DoctorWho TARDIS toy]]), even if they tend to backfire whenever Usagi's involved (for example, Usagi actually appreciated and put to use the ''giant hamster wheel'').

** {{Justified}} with the Invaders' attack on North Korea ''after'' the Veil's deactivation: the North Korean regime used a magical artifact to create a [[ContainmentField bounded field]] that prevent any non-Korean from entering, and until two of the anchor points (Kim Jong-il and the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomb_of_King_Tongmyong Tomb of King Tongmyong]]) are neutralized during their final attack (Kim [[BodyguardBetrayal killed by his own secret police]] and the tomb shelled by the USS ''Iowa'') the only ones who can pass are Magical Girls and Executors from South Korea and two members of the Burial Agency who have managed to ignore the bounded field's effects [[ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve because they believed that, as agents of God, they should be able to do just that]].

** Joseph Ratzinger is a former [[{{Nasuverse}} Executor]], and, in an in-universe ShoutOut to ''StarWars'', can still [[ShockAndAwe shoot lightnings from the hands]].

** [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Sunset Shimmer]], stuck in the human world, at some point decided to acquire the same fighting abilities as {{Batman}}. We haven't seen her in action yet, but given that [[TheAce her special talent is having exceptional success at whatever she does]]...

** A number of the more GenreSavvy Magical Girls have modeled their hand-to-hand abilities after the {{Batman}} of the earliest stories to some degree, with the one going the farthest being [[SailorMoon Tuxedo Kamen]] (who has the same abilities and pairs them with an attitude modeled on Creator/AdamWest's Series/{{Batman}} to survive against the absurdly strong enemies he faces) and [[MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Sunset Shimmer]] (who decided to emulate Batman's combat abilities and [[TheAce has the special talent at succeeding and exceeding her goals]]);

* MythologyGag: [[Manga/SailorMoon Minako]] is both a cop and an idol, and her songs as an idol are Sailor Venus' image songs from the original anime (''Route Venus'', ''Setsunakute Ii'', ''Anata no Yume wo Mita wa'' and ''Ai no Megami no'') and Minako's knowns songs from the live action (''Romance'', ''Koko ni Iru'', ''C'Est la Vie'', ''Katagoshi ni Kinsei'', ''Kiss!2 Bang!2'', ''Happy Time, Happy Life'' and ''Sayonara ~ Sweet Days''). The first four are also noted to have originally been written and sung for the in-universe ''Sailor V'' and ''Sailor Moon'' anime series.

** Creator/NaokoTakeuchi is mentioned as the artist of the [[WhoWouldWantToWatchUs in-universe manga series about the Sailor Senshi]].

** [[MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Sunset Shimmer]] operates as a {{Superhero}} in Heatherfield. {{Justified}} because, in-universe, if she had enough time ''she'' would have cast herself as a villain in an adaptation while being an hero in the real world.

** The centaurs living in the Lands of Myth are peaceful and nice. One day, the White Dragon of the Anglo-Saxons tried to make them his minions, [[NothingIsScarier and has disappeared ever since]].

** The planet of [[WesternAnimation/WinxClub Magix]] had exactly one: ''[[ManipulativeBitch Darcy]]'' (who, thankfully for her patients, was professional enough to not take advantage of this, going so far to use a combo of disguises and ''geasa'' to prevent herself from knowing her patients' identity and her patients from finding out ''who'' their therapist was). One of her patients was ''Musa''.
