* CounterpartComparison:
** The other selves of this anime easily get compared to the Huntsman and Huntresses of ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'', especially since both shows are only a year apart (the anime shows that is, as the concept of Black★Rock Shooter already existed since 2008, way before ''RWBY''). The two shows feature {{Action Girl}}s who wear color-coded clothes, and wield large weapons that can shift to several forms. At least in the opening sequence of this 2012 anime, the other selves have their own unique logos, much like the characters of ''RWBY'' have theirs. Oh, and the similarities are even obvious when one compares the protagonists of both shows and any other characters with similarities. Black★Rock Shooter and Ruby Rose wear hooded jackets that have contrasting colors (black-blue for B★RS and black-red for Ruby), they use high-caliber guns too (a cannon and Gatling gun for B★RS and a sniper rifle for Ruby) and said guns can transform into melee weapons (a large sword versus a scythe). The list does not end there though, as both series have characters that wield scythes (Dead Master and Ruby), sword and shield (Chariot and Pyrrha with Jaune), and [[PowerFist gloves]] that also act as firearms (Strength and Yang).
** Even though Black★Rock Shooter came first, comparisons with ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' were perhaps inevitable. The original OVA already had comparisons made to the ''VideoGame/{{Persona}}'' ''[[VideoGame/{{Persona 4}} series]]'', which are further amplified here.
%%** Yuu even asks Mato [[spoiler: to say Black★Rock Shooter isn't her]].
** Kagari is voiced by Creator/EriKitamura, who also voiced Sayaka in ''Madoka Magica''. Like Sayaka [[spoiler: she has relationship issues, questionable mental stability, and an alternate persona associated with wheels]]. Amusingly, she ends up more like [[spoiler: Mami Tomoe from the same series -- Chariot, Kagari's other self who [[TrailersAlwaysLie appears prominently in the promotional material]], gets her head cut off in Episode 2.]] It helps that Kagari and Chariot resemble [[spoiler:Mami]] in other ways, such as theme colours and having issues with friends and loneliness.
** And [[HilariousInHindsight over a year later]], Yuu's voice actor Creator/KanaAsumi would play a character in ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagicaTheMovieRebellion''.

* MoralEventHorizon: For both Professor Gibson and White★Rock Shooter. The manga adaptation presents how the apocalypse came to be. Professor Gibson drew White★Rock Shooter away from her clones after she calls them "delicious" by instinct. Of course, White★Rock Shooter is confused by this and asks what she did wrong but never got an answer. Feeling guilty, she returns home to the Apostles and postpones any plans of exterminating mankind... all for the sake of making up and asking forgiveness from Professor Gibson. One day, she returns to the lab and no longer finds the clones. Just before she can relay her message of living peacefully with the humans, Professor Gibson shoots her with specialized bullets, wounding her. Then he arms a nuclear grenade to blow both of them for his plan of safeguarding the clones. Being an alien, White★Rock Shooter naturally [[NoSell survives]] the explosion, and with her fit of rage and despair, she commands SAHA the command of "Destroy All Humans".

** The 3 motorbike segments in New York can easily become this if you don't get the hang of things. And there are Records which require a NoDamageRun for all three segments. There's no way to upgrade the speed or parameters of the bike, and no methods to recover HP, making the sections look like separate mini-games. And while you have 1000 HP, each hit will actually take a significant amount of damage (50 from smaller Armaments up to 100 from the larger ones). At most, you can only take up to 20 hits. This might sound easy on paper but it actually isn't. The driving sections are long and the highways are filled with Armaments, most of which will deal a hundred damage later near the end of the tracks.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: The booklet from the special edition of the game contains a timeline listing the events prior to the game. However, there is a chronology issue with the event on March 1, 2040, where it initially records Professor Gibson informing UEF about the B★RS project. From the lore of the game, this event should take precedence before any other plot points in the same year, but it conflicts with the event dated on February 2040 where the UEF formally accepts Gibson and his project to their cause. (In simpler terms, the UEF appears to have joined forces with Gibson ''before'' he revealed humanity's Secret Weapon.) The event recorded on March is then corrected to January 3 in the later revisions.
