''TBA''

* ContinuityNod:
** The first chapter establishes that Gipsy Danger was taken down not long before, which was shown in the first Jaeger fight in the movie.
** In chapter 8 Soarin gives Spitfire [[spoiler:who is also in hospital, just like Rainbow back then,]] [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E16ReadItAndWeep a Daring Do book.]]

* HeroKiller: Switchback is this to Romeo Blue.
* HumanityIsAdvanced: in terms of materials sciences, weapons, energy production, and the neuroscience (basically, everything that is part of Jaeger technology), mankind is well in advance of anything Ponykind has to offer. The energy projections for Midsummer Night's nuclear reactor are initially laughed off by pony scientists as "Fanciful." [[spoiler: This starts to change once the ponies gain access to the wreckage of Brawler Yukon and start reverse-engineering the technology... but not as much as one would think, as their science isn't advanced enough to create some of the more well-known Jaeger weapons, like energy weapons or plasma casters.]]

* PropheticNames: In chapter 7, the random name generator assigns the newly-arrived Kaiju the name Rasputin. It turns out to be ridiculously tough, even for Kaiju.
* RammingAlwaysWorks: In chapter 7 [[spoiler:Spitfire crashes her zeppelin into Rasputin, finally fatally wounding it.]]

* WhamEpisode: Chapter 8 has a battle against Rasputin, which shrugs off everything [[spoiler:until ''Lucky Seven'' kamikazes the creature, killing it. In the process of fighting the Kaiju, the Dimension-hopping device is completely destroyed, meaning that there's no way home for Michael and Shane that they know of. Midsummer Night is also so badly damaged that under normal circumstances, the thing would be scrapped, leading Michael and Shane to decide to share Jaeger technology with the Ponies so that they can fight back. Then Luan reveals that they have the remains of the very first Jaeger, Brawler Yukon, and have been studying it in secret for the last three months.]]

* BizarreAlienBiology: In chapter 16 a griffon has altitude sickness from going down to fifty metres above sea level from his usual of four, five kilometers.

[[folder:Chapters 1-8]]
* AnArmAndALeg: In chapter 8 we learn [[spoiler:Spitfire lost a leg and wing crashing her zeppelin into Rasputin.]]
* ArrogantKungFuGuy: Misty Fly thinks she's better than anyone else. It doesn't help that she's an ex-Wonderbolt, which means her body can indeed cash the cheques her ego is writing.
* BerserkButton:
** Lightning Dust's is getting her character slighted. Even if it is justified.
** Rainbow Dash's is being called a bastard.
* BigDamnHeroes: Switchback is tearing Manehattan a new one in the first chapter. Then suddenly, Midsummer Night comes out of the ocean...
* ContinuityNod:
** The first chapter establishes that Gipsy Danger was taken down not long before, which was shown in the first Jaeger fight in the movie.
** In chapter 8 Soarin gives Spitfire [[spoiler:who is also in hospital, just like Rainbow back then,]] [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E16ReadItAndWeep a Daring Do book.]]
** '... what looked like a poster which advertised [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E19PuttingYourHoofDown a seminar being run by a creature he could only describe as a minotaur that could’ve been Rambo’s personal trainer.']]

** In chapter 3, Michael asks that if Twilight is third in her class in atomic physics, why the first two aren't there, since Midsummer Night's reactor is the most important and powerful version of the technology on the planet. Twilight brushes it off and says that they're occupied. [[spoiler: It's a hint that Equestria is scavenging the remains of Brawler Yukon.]]

* GreetingGestureConfusion: Michael offers a handshake to Twilight Sparkle, who just stares at his hand confused until he awkwardly puts it down.

** Just the same as any other conventional weapons against Kaijuu. The Equestrian airship ''Lucky Seven'' fires a full barrage of rockets at the second Kaiju to try and kill it, and at worst they annoyed it. At best they gave its skin a nice matte finish.

* PropheticNames: In chapter 7, the random name generator assigns the newly-arrived Kaiju the name Rasputin. It turns out to be ridiculously tough even for Kaiju.

%%** Twilight tries to take some data from the harddrives of Midsummer Night. Shane's response is not one of "Ha ha, harmless misunderstanding," he tries to ''shoot'' her. And it's very clear that he would have, had she both not come clean with what she was doing at literally the last second, and another Kaiju not come out of the water. Even Luna, later on, says she understands why they nearly did that.

* BizarreAlienBiology: In chapter 16 a griffon has altitude sickness from going down to fifty metres above sea level from his usual of four, five kilometres.

* ConflictingLoyalty: In chapter 20 Lightning Dust and Twilight meet and neither have forgotten nor forgiven. Rainbow isn't sure who she would support if the two came to blows.

** In chapter 12 the brothers are escorted by [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls Flash Sentry.]] Also, a simulated battle is run against Trespasser, AKA the very first Kaijuu through the breach.
** In chapter 16 Pinkie persuades [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E18MaudPie Maud]] to join her in enlisting at the Jaeger Academy.
* DidntNeedThoseAnyway: In chapter 17 the Kaiju codenamed Bile is more or less a glorified Kaiju Blue dispenser, shedding extremities with far greater ease than all other Kaiju that have come before.

* RantInducingSlight:
** In chapter 9 Spitfire starts out already sullen, but Rainbow Dash trying to express concern appears to be what pushes her over the edge.
** In chapter 18 Misty Fly gives Pinkie a NotAGame rebuke after their spar culminates in the latter hitting her with a party cannon.

Administrivia/NeedsABetterDescription

* RealityEnsues: Initially, when making offers for Jaegers of their own, the Griffins insist on everything being done by themselves, including having trainers sent from Equestria to their territories. This gets shot down quickly, as the only people who can teach pilots how to operate a Jaeger are pilots themselves, and it would take far more time and effort than both sides have to start a Jaeger program from scratch without Equestrian aid.

* RealityEnsues:
** Twilight tries to take some data from the harddrives of Midsummer Night. Shane's response is not one of "Ha ha, harmless misunderstanding," he tries to ''shoot'' her. And it's very clear that he would have, had she both not come clean with what she was doing at literally the last second, and another Kaiju not come out of the water. Even Luna, later on, says she understands why they nearly did that.
** Despite his anger at being kept in the dark [[spoiler: about the remains of Brawler Yukon]] and not really trusting the ponies at all, Shane does agree to work with Equestria [[spoiler: building their own Jaegers]] since it's the only thing that will keep both sides alive.

** "Sometimes I think you worry too much princess, sometimes I think you just need to [[Disney/{{Frozen}} let it go. Quite a popular phrase I hear."]]

* StrayShotsStrikeNothing: An aversion in one of the tales of Midsummer Night's Kaiju battles, in that the National Guard was firing at a Kaiju, and not only did they ''not'' help in the battle, they actively hurt, as one of their missed rounds hit Midsummer Night in the lower spine. This crippled the Jaeger and turned what would have been a CurbStompBattle into a far more drawn-out affair.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: In chapter 3, Michael asks that if Twilight is third in her class in atomic physics, why the first two aren't there, since Midsummer Night's reactor is the most important and powerful version of the technology on the planet. Twilight brushes it off and says that they're occupied. [[spoiler: It's a hint that Equestria is scavenging the remains of Brawler Yukon.]]
** [[spoiler: Pinkie proclaims that she'd love to pilot a Jaeger. Guess who finds herself in the cockpit once Equestria starts its own program?]]

* HumanityIsAdvanced: in terms of materials sciences, weapons, energy production, and the neuroscience (basically, everything that is part of Jaeger technology), mankind is well in advance of anything Ponykind has to offer. The energy projections for Midsummer Night's nuclear reactor are initially laughed off by pony scientists as "Fanciful." [[spoiler: This starts to change once the ponies gain access to the wreckage of Brawler Yukon and start reverse-engineering the technology.]]

* ZombieAdvocate: In chapter 15 Fluttershy thinks everyone is being undeservedly hostile towards the Kaiju.

** In chapter 12 the brothers are escorted by [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls Flash Sentry.]] Also, a simulated battle is run against Trespasser.

* GunsAreWorthless: just the same as any other conventional weapons against Kaijuu. The Equestrian airship ''Lucky Seven'' fires a full barrage of rockets at the second Kaiju to try and kill it, and at worst they annoyed it. At best they gave its skin a nice matte finish.

* RealityEnsues: Twilight tries to take some data from the harddrives of Midsummer Night. Shane's response is not one of "Ha ha, harmless misunderstanding," he tries to ''shoot'' her.

** “Sometimes I think you worry too much princess, sometimes I think you just need to [[Disney/{{Frozen}} let it go. Quite a popular phrase I hear.”]]

--> '''Snow Blind''': "What are you?"
-->'''[[spoiler: Brawler Yukon AI]]''': ''[[spoiler:"...Brawler Yukon. Mark 1 Jaeger prototype]]''.

* FantasticRacism: In chapter 9 Big Mac mentally bemoans pegasi as lazy. In chapter 13 Misty Fly returns the favour by calling Applejack a "mud pony".

* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Thresher bares less resemblance to the Man-In-Suit designs of the other Kaiju and instead resembles a giant centipede.

--> “Offensive strategy.” Michael explained. “We’re going to [[spoiler:hit the breach.]]”

* RequiredSecondaryPowers: Equestria's technology level isn't high enough to put the principles behind energy weapons into practice.
