11	Considering this is a story based on both VideoGame/MetalGear ''and'' [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Evangelion]] there are bound to be ''tons'' of spoilers before. '''''You have been warned.'''''

14	!!This story includes the following tropes:
15
16	* AnArmAndALeg: Happens during the Battle for Humanity when Raiden shows up and [[spoiler: cuts off Gendo's arm to prevent him from starting Third Impact.]]
17	* AxesAtSchool: [[spoiler:Shinji brings Misato's gun to school to execute Asuka and Rei and then shoot up the rest of the class before killing himself. He ultimately doesn't go through with it (thanks to Big Boss), except in the [[ForWantOfANail alternate ending]].]]
18	* BabiesEverAfter: [[spoiler: Shinji and Rei have a daughter named Aya Yui Ikari fourteen years after The Battle For Humanity. A few other characters also end up having children.]]
19	* BigBad: Keel Lorenz, and to a lesser extent, Gendo Ikari.

25	* BurnBabyBurn: Big Boss ignites [[spoiler: Zero's hideout after killing him.]]
26	* BuryYourGays: Done very blatantly with [[spoiler: Kaworu]], as he's literaly the first character to die in the fic, in the very first chapter of the story. Not to mention, it happens literally out of nowhere, along with AssPull/ DeusExMachina to accompany it. Although it's a bit complicated due to [[spoiler: Kaworu's [[DiscountLesbians Discount Homosexual]] status]]. %%move to GayGuyDiesFirst when that's launched
27	** It doesn't help that the author also stated in the very first chapter, Vamp will be permanetly dead in this version...
28	* CallingTheOldManOut: Let's see... It's Shinji with a ton more confidence, and killer moves. So yeah, this was inevitable.
29	* CleanCut: Subverted when [[spoiler: Raiden cuts off Gendo's arm]]. It's mentioned that it was cut off rather ''[[ThatsGottaHurt crudely]]''.
30	* ContinuityNod: Plenty, two that come to mind are Snake's bandanna giving him infinite ammo, and [[spoiler: Asuka's eye getting injured, while she screams, "I'll kill you...I'll kill you...I'll kill you...I'll kill you...I'll kill you...I'll kill you...I'll kill you all".]]
31	* CurbStompBattle: Anytime [[spoiler: Metal Gear Ray takes on an Angel or EVA, and whenever Asuka gets into a fight with Shinji. Also happens when Asuka takes on two Metal Gear Rays at once in her advanced Evangelion Unit.]]

33	%%* {{Determinator}}: Asuka. Dear God, '''''ASUKA'''''!

37	* DroppedABridgeOnHim:
38	** [[spoiler: Kaworu Nagisa, who is killed early on after Metal Gear Ray drops an N2 mine on him.]]
39	** Johnny gets it even worse, with his death being nonchalantly mentioned in the timeline, and that's about it.

46	* FearfulSymmetry: Shinji and [[spoiler: Asuka, when they fight hand to hand during their FinalBattle.]]
47	* FlawExploitation: The Patriots knew that [[spoiler: Seele was listening to them, so Big Boss had Otacon and Mei Ling send out false information, causing Seele to bomb the wrong location.]]
48	* FirstNameBasis: Rei always calls Shinji by his [[LastNameBasis last name]], Ikari. However, she uses this trope to her advantage, calling him "Shinji" when she's needs to get his attention. She later starts calling him by his first name when the two become more [[RelationshipUpgrade friendly around each other]].

59	* InstantExpert: Shinji learns the Close Quarters Combat unrealistically fast.

75	** Ritsuko, upon finding out that General Hayter ''is'' Big Boss, and that Naomi is a Patriots mole.
76	** Everyone working for NERV in the Alternate Endings [[spoiler: when they realize that they can's stop Third Impact.]]
77	* OlderThanTheyLook: Averted with Snake. Unlike in VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4GunsOfThePatriots, here he isn't suffering from advanced aging. [[spoiler: Played straight at the end however, despite being only fourteen years since The Battle For Humanity, Snake looks quite old, a lot like his [=MGS4=] counterpart.]] This is especially true in contrast to Meryl, who still looks quite young, despite being in her forties.
78	* OrWasItADream: When Shinji [[spoiler: wakes up from his coma, he discovers the locket his mother gave him during his dream in his hands.]]
79	* OutGambitted: [[spoiler: The Patriots are constantly one step ahead of Seele. That's not to say that Seele doesn't have a few surprises of their own, though.]]
