!The fanfic contains examples of:
*AuthorVocabularyCalendar: On several occasions, when Character A responds to something Character B said to them, B will be described as A's "interlocutor." It's especially noticeable considering the author's poor command of the English language.
*DarkFic: Since no one dies, let alone gets murdered, in ''Anime/GirlsUndPanzer'', it's only natural that this is DarkerAndEdgier than canon.
*DeathFic: The fic begins with Miho's murder and explores the consequences of it.
*DownerEnding: Not only is Miho murdered, but [[spoiler:Erika is tortured, Oarai enters a brief war with Kuromorimine that results in many deaths, most of those involved with Erika's torture get 10-20 years in prison, Yukari is hanged for Miho's murder, Oarai shuts down, Anzu goes insane and Arisa apparently murders Naomi.]] It's not especially surprising because of the Tragedy genre.
*{{Fauxshadow}}: The early chapters appear to imply that Erika is Miho's murderer. In addition to her canonical {{Jerkass}} personality and hostility toward Miho, she's suspiciously late to return on the night of Miho's death, and clashes with Miho's friends at the funeral. However, the real culprit is [[spoiler:Yukari, of all people]].
*FromBadToWorse: Miho being murdered is bad enough, but it quickly escalates to torturing an apparent culprit, [[spoiler:a tank attack on Oarai meant to rescue said culprit, the true killer coming forward, and various characters being imprisoned or even executed for their crimes]].
*IfICantHaveYou: [[spoiler:Yukari's]] motive for murdering Miho is due to Miho choosing [[spoiler:to fall in love with Erika]] instead.
*InterrogatedForNothing: [[spoiler:Erika]] is brutally tortured in order to force her to confess to killing Miho, but she was not actually guilty.
*JerkassFacade: Erika was publicly hostile to Miho [[spoiler:to help conceal the fact that they were in a romantic relationship]].
*MoodWhiplash: Shiho's apparent death is followed by Caesar and Carpaccio having sex. To quote one review:
-->miho's mom died\\
...(10 seconds later)\\
... hot lesbian sex...\\
congratulations you just threw me off course
*ObligatorySwearing: The characters swear like sailors, often with very little provocation.
*PlotTriggeringDeath: Miho is murdered at the start of the fic.
*SecretRelationship: Miho had one with [[spoiler:Erika, from Kuromorimine]]. The relationship had to be kept secret, less because of social disapproval of same-sex relationships, but because of fears that one party might leak information to the other's school.
*ShoutOut:Two of the investigators are named Haruka and Michiru, after [[Anime/SailorMoon Sailors Uranus and Neptune]].
*SpitTake: Katyusha spits out her tea after being informed of Miho's death.
*SpoilerTitle: Chapter 12's title, "[[spoiler:Unrequited Love]]" spoils the motive of Miho's killer.
*TheStoolPigeon: [[spoiler:Kinuyo]] sells out the other members of the plot to [[spoiler:kidnap and torture Erika]] and gets the lightest sentence.
*WhamLine:
**Chapter 11 has [[spoiler:Yukari]] insist that [[spoiler:Erika]] is not Miho's killer, before saying "It was me!"
**Chapter 12 has a similar exchange when it's revealed that Miho had a secret relationship.
-->'''Hana''': One moment! Who is it that Miho loved in secret?\\
'''[[spoiler:Erika]]''': Me!
*WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue: The last chapter shows what the surviving cast members are up to. Some of them are trying to move on with their lives, others are in prison for kidnapping and torturing Erika, and [[spoiler:Yukari]] was convicted of Miho's murder and executed.
*YouAreInCommandNow: After the commanders of Oarai's former opponents [[spoiler:are arrested for their roles in the torture plot]], their deputies take over their teams.
