History FanFic / JusticeSocietyOfJapan

* DracoInLeatherPants: Gendo Ikari is a hell of a lot nicer than he is in canon, treating his son with a surprising amount of respect, and even going so far as to secure the funding for the team to form in the first place! [[spoiler:But he's still planning Instrumentality.]]

* FiveManBand
** TheHero: [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Simon]]
** TheLancer: [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII Lightning]]
** TheSmartguy: [[VideoGame/{{Xenoblade}} Shulk]] is this in terms of intelligence, [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Shinji]] is this in terms of awkwardness.
** TheChick: Girlborg/Shirley

* MarySue: According to WordOfGod, many of the story's OCs are meant to reconstruct and deconstruct several CommonMarySueTraits.
** Hope is a DeliberatelyCuteChild who makes up her backstory as she goes along, filling in the blanks with heaping gobs of SpecialSnowflakeSyndrome.
** Electra Pendragon is allegedly a KidFromTheFuture (implied to be the result of improbable FoeYayShipping) who acts like a TautologicalTemplar. But unlike an archetypal JerkSue, she doesn't get away with it.
** Ino is a [[Franchise/KingdomHearts Keybarer]] with [[AmnesiacHero Amnesia]] and mysterious AntiMagic powers. Thing is, she also has [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterograde_amnesia Anterograde Amnesia]], so she has trouble forming new memories as well as recalling old ones.
** [[spoiler: And then of course we have [[FanFic/MyImmortal Ebony Raven Way]] and [[FanFic/ChristianHumberReloaded Bladevash]]. WordOfGod says that Edrobot's trying to rebuild these infamous characters into workable villains.]]

* StylisticSuck: Lawers and Orderlies: Sensational Victims Unit. A {{Mockbuster}} of LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnit featuring over-the-top acting, an ObviouslyEvil villain named Ivan McNasty, and a plot that's very obviously RippedFromTheHeadlines.

An in-progress story written by Edrobot for Camp NaNoWriMo 2013. A crossover between the DCU and all kinds of Anime and Video Games, including GurrenLagann, FinalFantasyXIII, VideoGame/{{Xenoblade}}, CodeGeass, FateStayNight, NeonGenesisEvangelion, Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica, and Fullmetal Alchemist.

** Also, [[CodeGeass Shirley Fenette]] is one of the main heroes, and Shinji is a bit less of a wimp.
** In Parallel Works #1 [[spoiler:[[{{Hamtaro}} Laura and Hamtaro]]]].

** [[OnePiece Nico Robin]] is the curator at the museum in the first chapter, and [[OnePiece Sir Crocodile]] is also mentioned in passing.
** [[{{Medabots}} Samantha and The Screws]] appear in the first chapter, though they aren't mentioned by name.
** [[Franchise/{{Batman}} Harvey Bullock]], TheQuestion, JohnConstantine, [[FrankensteinAgentOfSHADE Frankenstein]], [[MahouSenseiNegima Negi Springfield]], [[Manga/DeathNote L]], and {{Phelous}} appear in "Channel 52" segments, while CaptainHarlock, [[CoyoteRagtimeShow Mister]] and [[OnePiece Monkey D. Luffy]] get brief mentions.
** [[{{Megatokyo}} Masamichi Sonoda]] makes a brief appearance in the second chapter to [[KickedUpstairs demote Lighting to paperwork duty]].

* ChekhovsGunman: Dr. Calvin Summers and the [[CodeGeass The Ashford Student Council]] appear briefly in the first chapter, only to play a much larger role later.

* ClosetGeek: WordOfGod says that Milly is a huge fan of GaoGaiGar.

** The Black Knights know about [[AdamStrange Zeta Beams]]; Zero travels to his base via one, and Kallen notes that the Guren's claw can shoot any kind of radiation, including Zeta Beams.

* {{Fangirl}}: Hope is one of these for [[TigerAndBunny Wild Tiger]].

** TheHero: [[GurrenLagann Simon]]
** TheLancer: [[FinalFantasyXIII Lightning]]
** TheSmartguy: [[VideoGame/{{Xenoblade}} Shulk]] is this in terms of intelligence, [[NeonGenesisEvangelion Shinji]] is this in terms of awkwardness.

** The most dramatic change in canon has to be Shulk from VideoGame/{{Xenoblade}}, who in this continuity is an archaeologist employed by the [[FateStayNight Mages Association]].

* KentBrockmanNews: Features ''Channel 52'' backup segments, including including [[DoctorWho The Doctor]] as the station's foreign correspondent.

** Ino is a [[KingdomHearts Keybarer]] with [[AmnesiacHero Amnesia]] and mysterious AntiMagic powers. Thing is, she also has [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterograde_amnesia Anterograde Amnesia]], so she has trouble forming new memories as well as recalling old ones.
** [[spoiler: And then of course we have [[MyImmortal Ebony Raven Way]] and [[FanFic/ChristianHumberReloaded Bladevash]]. WordOfGod says that Edrobot's trying to rebuild these infamous characters into workable villains.]]

* NamesTheSame: OriginalCharacter Hope and the Hope from FinalFantasyXIII. Falls under OneSteveLimit though, as the FinalFantasyXIII Hope is not a main character.

* OneSteveLimit: Aside from the aformentioned "Hope" issue, [[NeonGenesisEvangelion Gendo Ikari]] and [[Anime/ParanoiaAgent Detective Ikari]] aren't the same person. [[spoiler: But they are brothers-in-law; Detective Ikari is Yui Ikari's brother, making him Shinji's uncle.]]

** Morgaine Le Fey brings Mordred along with her, like in {{WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague}}, but Mordred is completely different.

** SuperYoungTeam is mentioned to have fought [[Webcomic/AxeCop The Ten Ben Matanga]] recently.
** At one point, C.C. cosplays as FinalFantasyVI's Terra.
** Hope compares an alleged "Puppy in Woodchipper" incident to a scene from [[{{Fargo}} that movie in Minnesota]].
** Detective Ikari accuses Detective Maniwa of watching too much "[[LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnit Special Victims Unit]]".
*** Later on, a Channel 52 sequence shows off a scene from "[[BlandNameProduct Lawyers and Orderlies: Sensational Victims Unit]]". The discrepency is eventually retconned by revealing that the latter show is a [[TheMockbuster Mockbuster]] produced by Uwe [[Creator/EdWood Wood]].

** Amazingly Powerful Girlborg's name is a combination of PowerGirl and the awkward naming scheme that the members of SuperYoungTeam use. Justified in that she originally wanted to join said team.
** In addition, her costume is a combination of Power Girl's costume and [[GaoGaiGar Cyborg Guy's]] cyborg body.
** Purple Pruposeless becomes a [[AtopTheFourthWall grey lantern]].
** Garungun claims that he read about the [[{{Queen}} Princes of the Universe]] in the [[SuperPaperMario Dark Prognosticus]]. Which WordOfGod says is fictional, even in-universe.

* TranslationConventions: Everyone is assumed to be speaking Japanese translated into english unless stated otherwise. One of the authors notes explains that Edrobot didn't refer to a police station as a Koban because few Americans know what that word means.

* TokenEvilTeammate: Not in the story itself, but one Channel 52 segment implies that [[{{Homestuck}} Vriska Serket]] is a member of the Teen Titans, so presumably she's one of these.
* UnexpectedCharacter: The "Justice Substitutes of Japan" omake features a number of characters who would make zero sense appearing in the story otherwise, such as [[AngelBeats T.K.]], [[StreetFighter Dan Hibiki]] and [[Anime/MegaManNTWarrior Commander Beef]]. They fight equally obscure/rediculous antagonists including [[DoomPatrol Purple Purposeless]], [[DragonBallZ Mr. Satan]], [[VideoGame/DisgaeaDimension2 Garungun]], and [[spoiler:[[ComicBook/TheSandman Destruction]]]].

* TheUnintelligible: One channel 52 segment features The Doctor wearing a filtration mask, [[TeamFortress2 The Pyro]], and GrantMorrison, all equally incomprehensible (even though Morrison isn't even wearing a mask).

* WestCoastTeam: Though not officially affiliated with the JusticeSocietyOfAmerica, the JSJ was made with this trope in mind.
* WorldWarII: Downplayed, at least compared to the JSA. The team was originally conceived in the aftermath of WWII as a way of getting around Japan's ban on armed forces, though the team was never actually created.

** [[Franchise/{{Batman}} Harvey Bullock]], TheQuestion, JohnConstantine, [[FrankensteinAgentOfSHADE Frankenstein]], [[MahouSenseiNegima Negi Springfield]], [[DeathNote L]], and {{Phelous}} appear in "Channel 52" segments, while CaptainHarlock, [[CoyoteRagtimeShow Mister]] and [[OnePiece Monkey D. Luffy]] get brief mentions.

** [[spoiler:Astute readers might notice that [[OriginalCharacter Hope]] is a FullmetalAlchemist-style Homunculus who has severely-weakened versions of the powers of seven other homunculi, including the manga version of Pride and the 2003 anime version of Sloth.]]

** Morgaine Le Fey brings Mordred along with her, like in [[WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague]], but Mordred is completely different.

* UnexpectedCharacter: The "Justice Substitutes of Japan" omake features a number of characters who would make zero sense appearing in the story otherwise, such as [[AngelBeats T.K.]], [[StreetFighter Dan Hibiki]] and [[Anime/MegaManNTWarrior Commander Beef]].

* EldrichAbomination: [[spoiler: Whatever the hell Mr. Nobody saw when he tried to possess Shirley.]]

[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/907421 It can be read on AO3]] and [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/9641089/1/Justice-Society-of-Japan Fanfiction.net]]

** SuperYoungTeam is mentioned to have fought [[AxeCop The Ten Ben Matanga]] recently.

* RunningGag: Every "cover" apparently says "Not a dream! Not an imaginary story!", and only rarely do they accurately depict what happens in the chapter.

*** Later, Detective Ikari accused Detective Maniwa of watching too much "[[LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnit Special Victims Unit]]".

An in-progress story written by Edrobot for Camp NaNoWriMo 2013. A crossover between the DCU and all kinds of Anime and Video Games, including GurrenLagann, FinalFantasyXIII, XenobladeChronicles, CodeGeass, FateStayNight, NeonGenesisEvangelion, Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica, and Fullmetal Alchemist.

** TheSmartguy: [[XenobladeChronicles Shulk]] is this in terms of intelligence, [[NeonGenesisEvangelion Shinji]] is this in terms of awkwardness.

** The most dramatic change in canon has to be Shulk from {{Xenoblade}}, who in this continuity is an archaeologist employed by the [[FateStayNight Mages Association]].

* SwissArmyWeapon: [[{{Xenoblade}} The Monado]]. It's a [[{{BFS}} BF]] LaserSword that's also a scanner, can project anti-magic shields, and has a connection to the [[SuperSpeed Speed Force]].
