3	''[[http://srwug-alpha-rp.livejournal.com/ Super Robot Wars Unlimited Generation Alpha]]'' is ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'' in RP form and a SpiritualSuccessor to ''Roleplay/SuperRobotWarsUnlimitedGeneration''.
4
5	Set in a post-apocalyptic Earth ruined by what is known as the Second Impact, which isn't just [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Eva-related]] this time, the characters are members of the White Chalice, a mysterious carrier that travels the Earth. Like its predecessor, a significant portion of the gameplay is in AIM Chat-based "missions": between 1 and 3 per week.
6
7	In November 2012, the game was moved to [[http://srwug-alpha-rp.dreamwidth.org/profile Dreamwidth]]. On March 1st 2014, the game reached its conclusion.
8	----
9	!!''Super Robot Wars Unlimited Generation Alpha'' provides examples of:
10	* AceCustom: Many characters have had unofficial upgrades to their units, giving them more umph. Among them are the [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Gundam Mk-II]] with hidden weapons, [[Manga/MObileSuitGundamSEEDAstray Astray Red Frame]] with a [[Anime/MobileSuitVictoryGundam beam rotor system]] (actually a [=BuCue=] head Lowe [[ContinuityNod bought in the animated Red Frame short]]), the Hyakku Shiki with [[Franchise/CodeGeass Slash Harkens]] and [[OriginalGeneration Desu Tsubomi and Erika]] with beam sabers, beam shields and Slash Harkens.
11	* AcePilot: Besides all the examples from various canons, Captain Smith was stated to be an unrivaled mech pilot and commander in the past. However, after Second Impact and the debacle with HALO, he's been reduced to a {{Cloudcuckoolander}} with brief flashes of competence.
12	* AchillesInHisTent: [[Anime/IdolmasterXenoglossia Haruka]] ends up spending a good month locked up in her room after Imber is taken away before deciding [[IJustWantToBeNormal that she just wants to go home]]. The other characters' reactions vary.
13	* AdaptationalBadass: [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam0080WarInThePocket Bernie Wiseman]] not only survived his canon death, but continued to fight and survive battles against alien invaders, time travelers and even gods. In fact, he is the one who delivered the finishing hit to the final boss of the game. All while using almost exclusively mass produced mobile suits (he received an AceCustom near the end of the game, though not a very powerful one), and without losing his mild-mannered, dorky personality.
14	* AdaptationExpansion:
15	** Since [[Franchise/{{Gundam}} G-Savior]]'s movie plot was wrapped up in its introduction, the rest of the canon for it is planned to be based off of the later Playstation 2 game.
16	** [[MysteriousWaif Luna]] from ''Anime/CasshernSins'', who had very little backstory in the series, is a very rare example of surviving peak pre-Second Impact technology. Though, who created her and why is still a matter of speculation among White Chalice members.
17	* AdaptationInducedPlotHole:
18	** [[Anime/ZoidsNewCentury Leena]] called the [[UnknownRival Tigers Team]] the '[[InSeriesNickname Fuzzy]] [[EmbarrassingNickname Pandas]]' when they fought. Too bad the nickname technically hasn't been invented yet, since [[MissingMainCharacter Bit]] invented it after their first battle, and Bit [[RealLifeWritesThePlot hasn't shown up in the game yet]].
19	** The rivalry between the Tigers Team and the Blitz Team, since the reason they started their losing streak was losing to the Blitz Team... the first time Bit piloted.
20	** The first chunk of the ''[[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Zeta Gundam]]'' plot goes on without any actual [=AEUG=] to go up against the Titans. Because of this, Kamille ends up joining Neo-Zeon.
21	* AerithAndBob: Charles, Micheal, Scott, Laura, George, Shirley, Patrick, Christine, Gregory, Frank, Roger, and a number of ordinary Japanese names... and Roux, Lockon, Char, Oenone, Gainer, Njall, Vlaska, Roads, Resnick, Hixar, Allelujah, Haman, Sayla, Samus, Tron, Chrono, Canon, Azrad and PRIME.
22	* AfterTheEnd: Between various backstories as well as Second Impact, the Earth is very much a mess. The colonies got off lighter, but still suffer from a lack of resources since getting them from Earth is now much more difficult.
23	* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Not ''all'' per se, but there is a long chain of unrequited crushes, consisting of [[Anime/IdolmasterXenoglossia Miki]], [[OriginalGeneration Werter, Alessandra]], and [[Manga/MobileSuitCrossboneGundam Kincaid]], with [[Anime/OvermanKingGainer Gainer]] additionally crushing on Alessandra on the side before he gave up. Played for comedy rather than drama.
24	* AllMythsAreTrue: Angra Mainyu? Check. Baphomet? Check. [[VisualNovel/{{Demonbane}} The Cthulhu Mythos]]? Check.
25	%%* AmusementPark: Fairy Park.
26	* ApocalypseHow:
27	** Second Impact was a particularly harsh Class 1.
28	** [=ASCENT=] ended with the crew averting a Class 5.
29	* AscendedExtra: Though the cast started out strong, drops reduced ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' down to just Kensuke. Who received a bit of his own character arc.
30	* AscendedMeme: "The One-man Shuffle Alliance". One player, seven characters, seven nationalities matching those of the main characters from ''[[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam G Gundam]]''. Was originally mentioned early on in the game, finally came to completion with [[OriginalGeneration Mad Kaine]].
31	%%** THAT Thread.
32	* AscendedToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: At the end of "Evolution's End", [[Manga/GetterRobo Ryouma, Hayato and Benkei]] end up going to "Getterhalla" to fight the Invaders for all eternity alongside [[Roleplay/SuperRobotWarsUnlimitedGeneration the Ryouma of the first UG game]].
33	* AttemptedRape: The ''Anime/MyOtome'' incident [[spoiler:with Arika, though it happened in [[VisualNovel/{{Demonbane}} Arkham]] and had [[Series/KamenRiderDouble Shotarou]] saving her instead. The crew deal out various forms of punishments to the would-be rapists.]]
34	* AwakeningTheSleepingGiant:
35	** When Haman is captured by Adventus, Char ends up rallying Neo-Zeon, vowing to take down Adventus if they don't return her. [[OhCrap The crew realizes they're on borrowed time now.]]
36	** Lucas realizes this is the case with the crew of the White Chalice: they had kidnapped their crew and now they're gunning for them.
37	* BackFromTheDead:
38	** Fusion, thought destroyed during the ''Franchise/{{Metroid}}[=/=][=PreDesu=]'' mission, returned as New Fusion during the ''Anime/IdolmasterXenoglossia[=/=][=PreDesu=]'' mission.
39	** [=HALO=]. It's AI refused to let anything stop it in its mission.
40	** When Seiren makes mention of a prophecy that DUNE would be killed by the actions of the Desu Tsubomi, Laura points out that DUNE might not be dead since he was apparently killed by the Endless machines.
41	* BadassBoast: In "War in the Pacific", [[Manga/GetterRobo Ryouma]] catches Saotome's Metal Beast Dragon Machine in the middle of a Change, telling him "Can't pull of a Change without looking at the controls?"
42	* BadFuture: The end-of-game WellIntentionedExtremist group Kairos Aspida, along with Ayame Jin, comes from one where there was never any HALO or White Chalice in the first place.
43	* BeachEpisode: In [[Anime/LagrangeTheFlowerOfRinne Kamogawa]]. Many shenanigans ensued.
44	* BewareTheNiceOnes: Has become an official policy on the White Chalice in regards to [[Anime/CasshernSins Casshern]] after a few very close shaves with his [[UnstoppableRage Berserk]] [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Mode.]] This is done by him being under 24-hour surveillance by Dan, a [[MacGuffin restraining bolt]] managed by Ayame, and it being strictly forbidden to do anything towards him that may be construed as a threat, which is sometimes used as {{schmuck bait}}. Because of this, every time he goes Berserk in a mission (just about every one so far), he instantly becomes a [[HeroicBSOD yellow unit]].
45	* BigDamnHeroes: The Broken Wings mission ends with [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED ZAFT]] taking advantage of the Federation's FaceHeelTurn on the Chalice crew to wipe them out.
46	%%** The return of Jeremy and [=DR RGNK=] was this.
47	* BookEnds:
48	** The first application submitted was for Sanger, just like in ''[[Roleplay/SuperRobotWarsUnlimitedGeneration Unlimited Generation.]]''
49	** Mission 20, [=DESCENT=], was the first major Adventus mission. Mission 73, [=ASCENT=], was the final mission of the Adventus storyline.
50	** Mission 1 and 100 both involved ''Anime/IdolmasterXenoglossia''.
51	* BreakTheHaughty: Several people had conspired to make [[Anime/StrikeWitches Perrine]] nicer, or at least make her life miserable. This eventually fell through [[WhatTheHellHero when other people called them out]] on targeting Perrine just because she doesn't actively try to please everyone.
52	* BreatherEpisode:
53	** After reaching Fairy Park and dealing with one attempt at stealing the Rainbow Jewel, the White Chalice's crew was able to take a break for a week and just relax there.
54	** A second trip was made to the park following a number of DownerEnding incidents.
55	* BrickJoke: At one point Captain Smith once warned Ayame about [[VideoGame/XCom Lobstermen and flying submarines]]. Months later, during the Record of the Atlantis War intro, some of the mook machines ''did'' resemble Lobstermen, [[OhCrap much to Smith's panic]].
56	* BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu: Typically any wins against the [[Anime/FafnerInTheAzureDeadAggressor Festum]] are less than graceful and may even require a HeroicSacrifice. Prelude's End, the mission wrapping up the [[VisualNovel/{{Demonbane}} Kishin Taido]] plot took the cake though, with Hadou and Azrad both dying in the end from over-exertion against Liber Legis.
57	* BroughtDownToNormal: A few characters who have had cross-canon upgrades to their mecha tend to get knocked down a few pegs. Amongst them is [[OriginalGeneration Christine]], who used the barrier system used by Adventus on her machine until [[OriginalGeneration Mad]] blew it up after Julia saved her, and [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Patrick]], who had a GN Drive [T] installed on [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam the Super Gundam]], only for the "GN Super Gundam" to get sliced up by a bunch of aces.
58	* TheBusCameBack:
59	** A few months after [[PutOnABus the Getter Team left to fight the Dinosaur Empire]], they finally came back, mission complete and the Tower finally repaired.
60	** The same happened for [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ Roux]], who had left the team following the final fight with the Shifters before coming back to aid the space-bound Chalice members.
61	** In the same vein, [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Simon and Kamina]] finally rejoin the crew nearly a year after they last got off.
62	** BusCrash: The Dinosaur Empire and Emperor Gore is said to have been killed offscreen.
63	* ButtMonkey: [[Anime/MartianSuccessorNadesico Akito]]. While it was {{Handwave}}d that he'd been on the ship, the in-game explanation that Tsukasa had squirreled him away for so long until the second in-game Invader attack lead to most of the crew thinking that he had ''just joined''.
64	* CanonDiscontinuity: The ''Anime/MyOtome'' AttemptedRape incident is rarely, if ever mentioned, especially since the series was dropped halfway through.
65	%%* CatchAFallingStar: [[Anime/FafnerInTheAzureDeadAggressor Kazuki]] ends up doing this to a falling Series/KamenRiderFourze.
66	* CanonImmigrant: There are a few mechs, introduced and planned, that never made it into the original stories they're from, such as the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Perfect Zeong]] and the [[Anime/MartianSuccessorNadesico Exabyte]].
67	* CanonWelding:
68	** [[VideoGame/MetalWolfChaos Michael Wilson Jr.]] being the president of [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam Neo America]].
69	** [[Anime/OvermanKingGainer Cynthia Lane]] joined [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Neo Zeon]] after becoming close friends with Haman Karn and Mineva Zabi, as well as due to her [[HorribleJudgeOfCharacter idolization of Char Aznable]].
70	* ChekhovsGun:
71	** The KillSat that appeared in the ''Anime/IdolmasterXenoglossia[=/=][[OriginalGeneration [=PreDesu=]]]'' mission. It reappeared as a asteroid-buster super laser in the ''VisualNovel/{{Demonbane}}[=/=]Scales of Balance'' mission before making a brief cameo in the Demonbane prologue finale suffering a [[FatalFlaw seemingly insignificant but crippling defect]] when Liber Legis was summoned, then reappearing in the ''Anime/IdolmasterXenoglossia[=/=]Roar That Shaped Fate'' mission, where said defect triggered a chain reaction that made it destroy itself.
72	** Adventus's combat AIs. What was originally just a way for Adventus to throw more mechs into battles when they lacked the men to pilot them went on to be used by [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Scirroco]] to create a [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Mobile Doll]] army to shore up the Titan's numbers after [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam0083StardustMemory Gato]] nuked them.
73	** In the Technica finale, the real [=MarKus=] is revealed due to the fact that the original had his mouth covered by his bandanna when the fake one had it over his head, due to the real Markus getting ill by [[Series/KamenRiderDouble the Virus Dopant]].
74	* ChekhovsGunman: Because the ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsDestiny'' plot didn't start until more than a year after the RP began, Josh and later Rim were initially just along for the ride while everyone else's canons proceeded.
75	* ColonyDrop: Attempted by the Titans on the Anaheim facilities on the moon. Through some difficulty, the pilots were able to activate enough of the colony's thrusters to redirect it... and along the way [[OriginalCharacter Roads]] kicked one of his [[MonsterOfTheWeek Id Beasts]] into it.
76	* CombiningMecha: Beyond the Manga/GetterRobo line and the various [[Series/PowerRangersRPM RPM-type Megazords]], Dita's Dread unit has the ability to combine with just about anyone in lieu of a lack of Hibiki. So far, she's combined with [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam the Gundam Mk-II]], [[Anime/MartianSuccessorNadesico Akito's Aestivalis]], [[Anime/ZoidsNewCentury Leena's Dibison]], [[OriginalGeneration Julia's old Corona, Nanohana's Desu Tsubomi]] and even [[VideoGame/CosmicBreak Lily Rain herself.]] This is also somewhat of a MythologyGag with the original ''Unlimited Generation'' when [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Gurren Lagann]] would occasionally combine with other mechs, due to the similarities between Pexis and Spiral power.
77	* CoolShip: White Chalice, the players' base of operations. A carrier capable of underwater and space travel, it comes complete with its own {{Cloudcuckoolander}} {{NPC}} captain.
78	* CompositeCharacter: [[Manga/GetterRobo Gou]] is a mashup between his [[TheStoic Armageddon]] and [[HotBlooded Shin vs. Neo]] counterparts, with the second personality having come about due to amnesia.
79	* CounterpartCombatCoordination: During the Tarnished Factory mission, the party other than [[OriginalGeneration Vlaska and MarKus]] and [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsDestiny Josh]] gets separated and forced to fight a series of duels with the Ruina generals:
80	** [[Anime/LagrangeTheFlowerOfRinne Muginami]] fights Ignis, both of them fire-wieldiers.
81	** [[OriginalGeneration Werter]] fights Contagio, in a battle of scientists. In contrast to Contagio's plague-based powers, Werter beats him with his Vaccine attack.
82	** [[{{Anime/Mazinkaiser}} Kouji]] fights Aquila in a duel between the most honorable good guy and bad guy, which is also a fight between a StoneWall and a FragileSpeedster.
83	** [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Tieria]] and [[VideoGame/ArmoredCore Castellan]], whose robots use beams almost exclusively, fight Umbra, whose unit absorbs beams.
84	%%* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Captain Smith]] of all people, at least a limited degree. It remains to be seen just how much of his old self remains.
85	* DarkerAndEdgier: A strange case. On one hand, between the post-apocalyptic setting and bad guys causing a lot of civilian casualties, this was clearly the intention. On the other hand, a lot of character interaction is silly or comedic, and several of the canons are ridiculously over-the-top and optimistic.
86	* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: At the end of mission 75, [[VideoGame/CosmicBreak Lily Rain's]] Pepens distract Kisrill so everyone else can flee to safety. [[HeroicSacrifice She kills them.]]
87	* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Happens frequently due to various original and pre-existing canons, but it usually also involves assistance from something that typically isn't available to the characters at all times (like Getter Shin Dragon, which was used to help finish off the Invaders) or exploiting some weakness of the godlike entity in question (like banishing them from Earth, as is what happened with Baphomet, Somnium, and Perfectio).
88	* DeathFromAbove: [[VideoGame/MetalWolfChaos Michael]] pulls this off by having [[Manga/GetterRobo Ryouma]] take up Neo Getter-2, taking him into near-low orbit, then ''throw him to Earth''. [[Manga/MobileSuitGundamSEEDAstray Lowe]] thinks it's the greatest thing ever and [[OriginalGeneration Werter]] (who came up with the idea in the first place) isn't sure should he be awed or terrified.
89	* DeathWorld: For various otherworldly invaders. In spite of or possibly ''because'' of Second Impact, Earth's wound up becoming the kind of place where hostile aliens and gods go to get their asses handed to them, if not be killed outright. Even the [[Anime/FafnerInTheAzureDeadAggressor Festum]], who were active on the planet for more than three decades, didn't accomplish much other than devastate Japan (and the populace just relocated elsewhere).
90	* DeconstructionCrossover: In the same way as in the videogames, characters with canons [[SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism that have differing moods]] and conflicts go through this:
91	** [[Anime/StrikeWitches Lynette]] [[ShrinkingViolet Bishop]] deals with killing human beings more than Neuroi, which gradually changes her psyche.
92	** [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Kensuke]] [[IJustWantToBeSpecial Aida]] learns that being an EVA pilot actually sucks ass. Not that his canon wouldn't do the same to him were he presented the chance in the past.
93	** [[Anime/CasshernSins Casshern]] had to be given a [[DeusExMachina restraining bolt]] due to his [[UnstoppableRage Berserk]] [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Mode]]. It's extremely painful for him, but he doesn't care, because he feels like [[TheAtoner deserves it]]. What's worse is that it gives him nightmares about what he did to Luna, resulting in an almost daily MyGodWhatHaveIDone moment.
94	* DiscOneFinalBoss: Adventus served as this, being noted and built up as a big threat in the RP's profile and fought multiple times over the first year, before ultimately being defeated for good during ASCENT.
95	* DistaffCounterpart: The [[Literature/InfiniteStratos IS competition]] can be seen as one for the [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam Gundam Fight]]. Both are tournaments run by the Neo countries, and each primarily has combatants of one gender with [[TheSmurfettePrinciple a few exceptions]].
96	* DownerEnding: Though ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'' is usually all about averting bad events in canons, if a less-than-happy ending is necessary for the narrative to continue, it'll still play out.
97	** Mission 68, "Red Giant". That mission's main characters didn't come out of that in one piece.
98	** Any mission where the [[Anime/FafnerInTheAzureDeadAggressor Festum]] are involved has a high chance to be this, especially mission 13, "A Goodbye That Came Too Soon" (includes most depressing moments of ''Anime/MartianSuccessorNadesico'' for that extra kick in the teeth) and 24, "Right of Left".
99	* EarlyBirdCameo: [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ Judau and Roux]], who join halfway through ''[[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Zeta Gundam]]'''s storyline.
100	* EnemyMine: The only reason that [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Celestial Being]] is working with the White Chalice -after several skirmishes in the backstory- is that Veda determined the ship and its crew would play a part in eliminating war.
101	* ExpansionPackWorld: A justified case. The setting of the world was intentionally left as vague as possible aside from a few specific features (such as electromagnetic storms in the debris field surrounding the Earth). As more canons are introduced, they establish facts about the Earth Sphere, such as the existence of two moons.
102	%%* FastballSpecial: Used by [[Series/KamenRiderDouble Kamen Rider W]] and [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam0080WarInThePocket Gundam Alex]]. [[DiscussedTrope Discussed]], as Philip [[SawItInAMovieOnce read it in a comic book]], but Shoutaro pointed [[ThisIsReality that this isn't a comic book]]. And appropriately enough, [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam0083StardustMemory Gato]] [[SubvertedTrope was able to resist it with little difficulty.]]
103	* {{Foreshadowing}}:
104	** [[Series/KamenRiderDecade Tsukasa]] talking about having ''nine'' different sets of Form Ride cards, not noticing one of the cards he tried using was for [[Series/KamenRiderDouble Double]].
105	** During the ''[=iDOLMaster=]/[=PreDesu=]'' mission, New Fusion mentions that the Endless Desu aren't fighting at their full capacity. Hana, however, thinks she's talking about the fight at Fairy Park.
106	** At the end of ASCENT, Char makes mention of [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ "Project Puru"]].
107	** Again from Char, though this one was unintentional (at least, it was in-character). During 'Gain Over,' Char said he wasn't going to let the world freeze [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack yet.]]
108	%%** [[Anime/OvermanKingGainer The Rushrod's]] time stop powers failing to work on [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsJudgment Calvina and Tohya's]] machines.
109	* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: Predictably for the genre, happens quite often. However of note is [[Anime/IdolmasterXenoglossia one example]] when trying to do this actually made the situation ''worse''.
110	%%* GiantRobotHandsSaveLives: The aforementioned CatchAFallingStar was like this. Kazuki does make Fourze's landing soft enough, though.
111	* GoneHorriblyRight: Project [=HALO=]. The machine was designed to destroy anything space colony-sized or larger and it detected ''Earth''. When it was threatened to lose power, it just kept rerouting power to charge up its [[EarthShatteringKaboom Colony Buster laser]]. Its AI refused to let anything stop it from its mission, going so far as to take control of its ''pilot'' to prevent him from having second thoughts, which was what happened to Captain Smith.
112	* GoneHorriblyWrong: HALO's original use could be considered this. Though it did successfully destroy the meteor heading towards Earth, the backlash from the shot and the various fragments still rained down on Earth, causing almost as much damage as would have happened had it been intact when it hit.
113	* {{Gorn}}: Despite being a mecha game, there has been quite a few missions involving this.
114	** ''The Rabbit Hole'', the opening mission for [[OriginalGeneration Unbirthday]], involved [[CuteAndPsycho ALICE]] [[HollywoodHacking hijacking]] the automated security systems of [[MegaCorp IDS]], and using them to mow down its employees.
115	** Any time [[Anime/CasshernSins Casshern]] goes berserk while fighting organic enemies. The finale for [[OriginalGeneration In The Footsteps Of Father]], ''A New Path,'' definitely comes to mind.
116	* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: [[Anime/FafnerInTheAzureDeadAggressor Canon Memphis]]. From working with the [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Titans]], to helping the White Chalice chase down [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam0083StardustMemory Anavel Gato]], to leaving the Chalice after deciding her duty was fulfilled, to helping them stop a [[OriginalGeneration Lodestone]] [[ColonyDrop Elemental]], to fighting Kazuki and Kou during the Adventus prison break event, to taking part in a squad led by [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Graham Aker]] that first fought against the Chalice pilotes before calling a truce to deal with the Trinities ans the [[OriginalGeneration Asgard Squadron]].
117	* HeroicBSOD: [[Anime/IdolmasterXenoglossia Haruka]] suffers a two month long one to the point where, when she's returned home, she trips on the ground and stays there.
118	* HeroicSacrifice: Typically happens on more serious missions to some degree or another, and some Support Defense actions simply have one character take a hit for another. The starting months of 2013 ended up being ''fraught'' with them however, with multiple characters dying or making similarly big sacrifices for everyone.
119	* HoldingBackThePhlebotinum: The Endless Desu were under strict lockdown due to how powerful they are, only to be used should the Rainbow Jewel's safety be truly threatened.
120	* HopeSpot:
121	** The Tempestas arrives, paralyzing the other Idolmasters and giving the Chalice crew a chance to rescue Imber. New Fusion arrives and shoots it down, not wanting to let allies of the [=PreDesu=]s have their way.
122	** In the ''VideoGame/CosmicBreak'' finale, [[OriginalCharacter Kyoku's]] able to pull the bomb out of Lily Rain EVE's body... but it ends up returning back to her. Lily ends up performing a HeroicSacrifice in the end.
123	** The ''Anime/CasshernSins'' and ''VideoGame/MegaManClassic'' mission "The Past Rises Before My Eyes" ends with one of these. Despite the fact that Luna had just delivered her KickTheDog moment to [[MauveShirt Dune]] leaving the mission participants either speechless or angry, the general consensus amongst them was that she was still their best hope at ending [[ThePlague the Ruin]] and that it would be very, ''very'' bad if [[TemptingFate she ended up in the wrong hands]]. Cue 'Break Man' kidnapping her.
124	* InfiniteSupplies: Averted. The crew suffered from a lack of food and parts from late October into early December. When Van asks what the hell happened to the supplies they got from Fanelia, it's {{Handwave}}d that the Chalice wasn't properly resupplied prior to the attack on the kingdom. It was not until crossing into Federation territory and bargaining for supplies from a base in Africa that things were brought back up to speed.
125	* InsistentTerminology: The similarities between the [[OriginalGeneration Percolatii]] and [[Series/KamenRiderKabuto Worms]] are prominent enough that time was set aside during the first encounter with the former to insist [[BlatantLies they were completely different.]]
126	%%** Happens again with [[Anime/PrettyCure Project Pre Destiny]].
127	* InSpiteOfANail: Despite the AEUG not actually existing at the start of the game (though Karaba did), that did not stop the group from forming a ways into the [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Zeta Gundam]] plot, being made up of numerous Federation officers who were sacked when the Mobile Doll system was introduced either because they weren't needed to pilot any more, objected to the system on moral grounds, or in the case of [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Patrick Colasaur]], [[TallPoppySyndrome because he kept beating them in simulations and making the system look bad]].
128	* JapanTakesOverTheWorld: A decent-sized chunk of the survivors of the Festum's rampage through Japan settled in America. Though to be fair that's no hard task since the continents (or whats left of them) have no central government, don't house any of the remaining world superpowers, and have an ocean between them and the Federation and Britannia.
129	* JokeCharacter: Many units in the game are ridiculed for one reason or another, including Zakus, Julia's original Corona unit and the Neo Getter Robo.
130	* JustFollowingOrders: ''[[Anime/FafnerInTheAzureDeadAggressor Canon]]''. Mainly because she feels indebted to the Federation for taking her in after Dublin's destruction at the hands of the Festum. Also an issue with other, non-Titans members of the Federation who are all too willing to help the Chalice if a more villainous group shows up.
131	* JustFriends:
132	** [[Anime/IdolmasterXenoglossia Haruka]] learns this the hard way when [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsL Ichitaka]] mentions that he thought of her as a great friend [[KickTheDog after having Imber stolen from her.]] To be fair, Haruka also made the mistake of confronting him in the middle of the night and Ichitaka just ''assumed'' everything was okay. Both Ichitaka and Haruka call each other out on this a little later: Haruka for not telling Ichitaka what was going on in the first place and Ichitaka for being blind to Haruka's feelings.
133	** Hit big time with "World Without Lies": [[Anime/OvermanKingGainer Gainer]] friendzones Alessandra (who already friendzoned him earlier, as she harbors a crush on [[Manga/MobileSuitCrossboneGundam Kincaid]], who's already taken himself) and in return gets friendzoned by Hoshi (who isn't ready to go that far). As well, Seiren reveals her feelings for Laura (the OriginalCharacter one), only for Laura (who as before, is already in a relationship) to shoot her down.
134	** [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Kamille]] is hit with this a bit after the entire ship points out his relationship with [[OriginalCharacter Sora]] was dangerous to ''her''. To the point where a [[Series/KamenRiderDenO Kintaros]]-possessed [[Franchise/LyricalNanoha Nanoha]] tries to toss Kamille off the ship to get it through his thick skull.
135	** "Gain Over" once again confirms the friendzoning between Gainer and Alessandra, as Alessandra tells him that she doesn't ''like'' guys who wear glasses that way. Granted, it was to help free Gainer out of the possession of the Overdevil, but it was something [[Anime/{{Mazinkaiser}} Kouji]] wasn't expecting when something like this is happening.
136	** Before Alessandra leaves, Werter finally expresses his feelings to Alessandra. She reveals that she just loves everyone as friends. It's not certain if she just doesn't want to fall in love with anyone else or she's that thick-skullled.
137	* KarmaHoudini: Thanks to the invasion of [[Anime/MyOtome Windbloome]], [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam Marie Louise]]'s deception over being kidnapped actually goes unpunished. Though it is {{lampshaded}} when George realizes someone like Domon couldn't have girlish handwriting or know much French.
138	* KilledOffForReal: [[Anime/FafnerInTheAzureDeadAggressor Ryo Masaoka, Shouko Hazama]], [[OriginalGeneration Frank Symes]], and [[VisualNovel/{{Demonbane}} Azrad and Hadou Kouzou]]. All [[DyingMomentOfAwesome went out in a blaze of glory]].
139	* TheLastDance: [[Anime/FafnerInTheAzureDeadAggressor Ryo Masaoka's]] final mission. With his efforts to stave off the assimilation syndrome finally being rendered moot, he chose to battle the Festum once last time to help the inhabitants of the L-Boat flee even though it was just hastening his death.
140	* LavaIsBoilingKoolAid: Played around with during the [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Magma Diver]] mission. EVA Unit 04 had special equipment that protected it and Series/KamenRiderFourze's costume could withstand the heat and pressure and he used the Water Switch to cool things down somewhat. When [[Anime/FafnerInTheAzureDeadAggressor Kazuki and the Mark Elf]] needed to save them though, the machine's lack of protection still nearly got it melted before Kazuki eventually got them out.
141	* LegacyCharacter: [[Anime/FafnerInTheAzureDeadAggressor Kazuki]] becomes this for the late Ryo, able to pilot a Fafner significantly safer than the TSX because of Ryo's sacrifices.
142	* LoopholeAbuse:
143	** Invoked unknowingly by the players when fighting [[VisualNovel/{{Demonbane}} Raal Rovdy]]. On foot, Rovdy was able to beat around Azrad=Aeon with little difficulty since magic duels are stated to not take into account things like the size and strength, and logic is not a factor in determining a battle's outcome. However, the opposite was true too, thus even with all of his immense power, the combined powers of the protagonists was enough to force him to retreat after being seriously injured.
144	** [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam Chibodee]] pretty much used this to fight back against the [[VideoGame/MetalWolfChaos invading Neo-America army]] in [[Series/PowerRangersRPM Corinth]]. Since the IS organization doesn't see Richard Hawk's presidency as legit, Chibodee sees it as a good reason to fight back.
145	** Applied concerning the Witches and the RPM Rangers: though Britannia had effectively disbanded them, they were still part of the Chalice crew and ended up still fighting Tenaya and the Neuroi.
146	* LiteralMinded: [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Hixar]] wants to know the hottest (re: most attractive) woman on the Chalice. [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Setsuna]], however, sets out to know who the hottest (re: highest temperature) woman on the Chalice, leaving many of the girls there absolutely confused.
147	* MoodWhiplash: [[DownerEnding The Red Giant mission]] occurred a day after the Hammer To Fall one, and the day after that, [[AttemptedRape THAT thread]] happened. Soon after that, Devon's and Cheng's wedding occured. Then following ''that'' was DOWNFALL.
148	%%* MoreDakka: Played straight with a lot of machines, like Cheng's Behemoth and its upgrades and Leena's various Zoids as well. Then subverted when Hana tries it before and during the ''Anime/{{Vandread}}'' season one finale, only to have others tell her it doesn't suit her and she ends up dumping her payload and destroying it to save Chrono.
149	* MostCommonSuperpower: Not many women are mentioned to have this, though Alessandra was quite displeased when Sora didn't [[IncrediblyLamePun stack up]] to her fellow Irgelion Julia.
150	* MultipleChoicePast: Although it's yet to be brought up in the game, the wiki entry for [[TheMedic Maxene Trendy]] comments that most of the accounts people have for her prior to joining the Chalice are contradictory and don't match up.
151	* MythologyGag:
152	** In the ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Gundam 00F]][=/=]Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam'' mission "We Are Ourselves", Patrick ends up telling Ribbons off by shooting the monitors with the Super Gundam's vulcans, a nod to how Ribbons was killed at the end of the ''Gundam 00'' story in the first UG game.
153	** Silentium, the overvillains from the original ''Roleplay/SuperRobotWarsUnlimitedGeneration'', are mentioned in passing during the mission "Declarations" by the Inspectors as being driven to nearly the point of extinction by them and the Guests.
154	** During [[Manga/GetterRobo Evolution's End]], when everyone entered "Getterhalla", the Ryouma that met them there was the one from the original ''Unlimited Generation''.
155	** During [[VisualNovel/{{Demonbane}} Strange Aeons]], the heroes receive assistance from an infinitely large army of "Demon Banes", heroes who fight for justice, including characters from the original ''Unlimited Generation'', deceased characters from both games, and entirely new faces on top of that.
156	* NoHeroToHisValet: The [[Franchise/CodeGeass Britannian Empire]]. For the most part it's a lot less screwed up than the only other superpower on Earth, the Federation and a lot less villainous than it was in the canon due to it being a composite between the Geass and ''Anime/StrikeWitches'' versions of the nation. Even the racism and social darwinism are not as prominent, seeing as how the [[MultinationalTeam 501st]] is led by a Japanese woman and the country is on good terms with the Fuso Empire, which has the largest concentration of survivors from the Festum's attack on Japan. On the other hand, Britannia has policies just as harsh in Area 11 as it did in the anime, with the populace there still hating the empire.
157	* NoodleIncident: [[Series/KamenRiderDouble Shoutaro]] had [[WikiWalk Philip]] look up information on [[Anime/MartianSuccessorNadesico Yurika Misumaru]] including the keyword "''costumes''". Philip refused to repeat the search or tell Shoutaro the results.
158	* NotQuiteDead: In some cases, characters who were presumed dead (usually by HeroicSacrifice) later turn out to be alive and return to the game. This includes:
159	** [[OriginalGeneration Devon and Laura Ericks]].
160	** [[Anime/IdolmasterXenoglossia Haruka, Miki and other Idolmasters]].
161	** [[VideoGame/CosmicBreak Lily Rain EVE]], who returns as Lily Rain EVE Theta.
162	** [[OriginalGeneration Gregory]] is a (possible) subversion: it's never sure if the one who returned is really him or a Percolatis with his memories, and he ends up performing a HeroicSacrifice for real later that had the benefit of completely destroying his body, making it impossible for anyone to find out if he'd been the real one or just an imitation.
163	* NotTooDeadToSaveTheDay: During the grand finale, all deceased characters (aside from Char, who may or may not be dead) from the Chalice got a very brief cameo, helping Captain Smith and Dan contain the Primeval Force.
164	* OffTheRails: The first encounter with DJ RGNK. What was steadily leading to a DownerEnding turned into a victory when Fate started singing and other people joined in, [[GameMaster Zappa]] deciding to let anyone else, even those not on the mission, join in the singing. Though this wasn't planned, it nevertheless forced RGNK to retreat.
165	* OhCrap:
166	** [[OriginalGeneration Nadia]] publicly declaring White Chalice's alliance with [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 the Celestial Being]].
167	** [[Anime/FafnerInTheAzureDeadAggressor Festum]] showing up on a up-to-that-point easy ''Anime/MartianSuccessorNadesico'' mission. The lunar colony didn't make it.
168	** An antagonist example for a change: the [[VideoGame/MetalWolfChaos Shark Gun]] debuting on a ''Franchise/CodeGeass'' mission.
169	** [[Manga/GetterRobo Ryouma]] showing up in the Black Getter and massacring Invaders that had absorbed humans into it.
170	** Char Aznable rallying Neo-Zeon in an attempt to get back Haman Karn when Adventus kidnaps her.
171	** [[VisualNovel/{{Demonbane}} Liber Legis]]'s awakening. When something makes Festum retreat and Shin Dragon take notice, you ''know'' it's a massive threat.
172	* OneSteveLimit:
173	** Averted with [[Series/PowerRangersRPM Flynn McAllistair]] and [[OriginalGeneration Flynn O'Shea]]. This also the reason why [[OriginalGeneration Nanohana]] is referred to as "Hana": to separate her from [[Franchise/LyricalNanoha Nanoha]].
174	** On the robot side of thing, the [[Anime/IdolmasterXenoglossia Epimetheus and Prometheus machines]] and Epimetheus and Prometheus from [[OriginalGeneration Scales of Balance.]]
175	** With ''Literature/InfiniteStratos'' joining the cast, the game's roster includes two [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Chars]] and [[OriginalGeneration Lauras]].
176	** Ironically, both of the characters from one of the earlier aversions, [[Anime/TheVisionOfEscaflowne Van Fanel]] and [[Anime/ZoidsChaoticCentury Van Flyheight]], both dropped around the same time.
177	** The earliest aversion was [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsDestiny Joshua Radcliffe]] and [[TabletopGame/BlissStage Joshua]] [[OriginalGeneration Preston]]. However, Josh Preston was dropped very early into the RP. However, nearly a year later and [[VideoGame/ArmoredCore Joshua O'Brien]] gets added to the mix as well.
178	* OriginalGeneration: A lot of examples, including [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration that one]]. All of them come with their own plot and bad guys. Except for [[TheMedic Loraine.]
179	* PerspectiveFlip: The solution to running the ''Anime/{{Vandread}}'' plot with someone playing Dita but no Hibiki. Similarly, [[OriginalGeneration Still Not Safe]] was conceived as a play-by-post RPG with an array of player-characters who didn't make the jump, resulting in the plot focusing on Devon, Laura, and Frank.
180	* ThePlague: [[Anime/CasshernSins The Ruin.]] Because the game universe was already a CrapsackWorld without a lethal plague killing humans and rusting robots (which would suck in a mecha series), the Ruin was changed into a GrayGoo like plague that feeds on minerals found in both organic tissue and almost all metallic alloys used in robotics, but with extreme sensitivity to moisture, keeping it confined to the former southwestern United States, where an international quarantine is strictly enforced.
181	* PlotlineDeath: Despite there being a [[Anime/StrikeWitches healer]] handy, there was no way to save [[Anime/TheVisionOfEscaflowne Balgus]].
182	* PostScriptSeason: [[Series/KamenRiderRyuki Shinji and Ren]], unlike [[Series/KamenRiderDecade Tsukasa]], [[Series/KamenRiderDecade Shoutarou, Philip, Terui]] and [[Series/KamenRiderFourze Gentarou]], come from the end of their series.
183	%%** Technically, [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Sayla]] as well.
184	%%** The same with [[Series/BigBadBeetleborgs Jo]].
185	%%** And [[Anime/TheBigO Roger Smith]].
186	* PowerCopying: Beyond [[VideoGame/MegaMan the original trope namer]], both [[Series/KamenRiderDecade Tsukasa]] and [[Franchise/{{Metroid}} Samus]] do this as well. To a lesser extent, many of the modified units are like this, swiping weapons from other units.
187	* PowerOfLove:
188	** [[Series/KamenRiderFourze Gentarou]] invokes this to not only defeat Super Galaxy King, but make sure Nadeshiko lives!
189	** [[Anime/OvermanKingGainer Gainer]] pulls this off during World Without Lies, calling out his love for [[Franchise/KamenRider Ho]][[OriginalCharacter shi]]. Other characters follow suit in a corresponding log.
190	* PrisonBreak: As a distraction for the [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration Divine Crusaders]]' own StormingTheCastle, the Chalice crew attack an island prison to rescue their friends.
191	* PublicDomainCharacter: Grunt machines, with the permission of players involved, can be and have been featured in prominently in OriginalGeneration canons. These include the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Gelgoog, Gyan]], [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Leo]], [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration Gespenst]], and a [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack Jeagan]]. This also counts for opponents as well, as many foes take up lesser-known [=MSV=]s
192	* PuzzleBoss: The two Oxygen Elementals fought in the second Scales of Balance mission. Being able to completely corrode a mech in mere seconds and kill anyone outside of one, the pilots eventually resorted to depressurizing the colony to suck one out, while [[OriginalGeneration Herb and Werter]] lit the other on fire after trapping it in a force field so it wouldn't ignite the rest of the colony's air as well.
193	%%* QuirkyMinibossSquad: Adventus's generals. Repeated again with the four Inspectors under the (as of late March) unseen Wendelo. Averted with Kairos Aspida's leaders though, who have various places in the group's heirarchy.
194	* RasputinianDeath: Project HALO in spades. Destroying its head, tearing open its leg and chest, smashing two [[Manga/GetterRobo Getter drills]] through its chest, and blowing off one of its arms and part of its torso barely inconvenienced it at all. Even Lans activating its self-destruct system and blowing out its cockpit, reactor, and most of the rest of its torso only delayed its colony buster a few moments. It took a concentrated effort by numerous Chalice members to finally take it down.
195	* RealLifeWritesThePlot: As was the case with the original RP, when players drop for whatever reason [[AbortedArc so do their plots]].
196	* RememberTheNewGuy: A variant, at any rate. Some of the characters are presented having previous knowledge of other people from before the game started, such as [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsDestiny Josh]] having become friends with both [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsJudgment Calvina and Tohya]] on separate occasions.
197	* ReplacementScrappy: An in-universe case. The second [[Anime/FafnerInTheAzureDeadAggressor Fafner pilot]] the White Chalice meets is Canon Memphis, a Federation soldier and a stark contrast to the late Ryo Masaoka in nearly every way, being much more cold and distant. Unsurprisingly, Canon gets on a lot of people's nerves, especially those who had been close to Ryo.
198	* ResetButton: The Rainbow Jewel's powers don't apply to everything, but it does undo any damage done to surroundings caused by battles against the enemies of the [=PreDESUs=].
199	* RunningGag: [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Patrick's]] inability to keep a unit after about two sorties. So far, he's wrecked his Enact and the [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Super Gundam]]. It's only a matter of time before [[Anime/MobileSuitUnicornGundam the Delta Gundam]] is next.
200	* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Following the prison break and the deaths of Jeremy and Dr. RGNK, the Titans and the Federation have ended up pulling out of their alliance with Adventus.
201	* ShoutOut:
202	** Quicksilver, from Still Not Safe's canon, seems to look at the [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 Scout's]] lines.
203	** ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' gets several: [[Anime/OvermanKingGainer Adette's]] custom paintjob [[Franchise/CodeGeass Knightmare Frame]] is called Knightmare Moon, [[ThePowerOfRock DR RGNK]] used a remixed MLP song to control the emotions of White Chalice pilots, [[Anime/OvermanKingGainer Cynthia]] once mentioned that she was now 20% cooler and [[OriginalGeneration Alessandra]] once commented that King Gainer having two Overskills meant that "The Overskills have been doubled!"
204	** When a bomb goes off during "Colliding War Zones", [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Kamille]] utters "[[VideoGame/ZeroWing They set us up, the bomb...]]"
205	** During the Onigamusha Battleship mission:
206	*** When Solomon caught sight of [[Series/KamenRiderDenO DenLiner]] and questions if they trademarked their time travel tech, [[Series/KamenRiderDecade DiEnd]] mentions that [[Film/BackToTheFuture1 "Where they go, they don't need trademarks"]].
207	*** When [=DiEnd=] betrays the team, [[Series/PowerRangersRPM Scott]] bemoans of his [[Series/{{Firefly}} sudden, but inevitable betrayal]].
208	*** And of course, when the big bad of the [[Series/KamenRiderHibiki Hibiki world]] shows up, all mentions of GiantEnemyCrab and [[AttackItsWeakPoint what to do to beat it]] goes flying like crazy.
209	** Not spoke of by the characters, but one of the damages inflicted on enemy Getter Robo Gs involved [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim a tomahawk to the knee]].
210	** During "And Thus Comes The R", [[Anime/CasshernSins Dio]] dropped a [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure steamroller]] on top of Casshern. {{Lampshaded}} in the debriefing.
211	* ShowWithinAShow: The original exploits of the [[Manga/GetterRobo Getter team]] were made into a [[{{Bowdlerise}} heavily butchered]], LighterAndSofter version called Starvengers, which is a bit of a BerserkButton for Ryouma and Hayato. Similarly, the various ''Franchise/KamenRider'' shows are stated to have been a documentaries rather than fictional toku shows.
212	* SneezeCut: Reoccurring, when a player catches their character being mentioned in another (usually more light-hearted) thread.
213	* SoleSurvivor:
214	** The only survivor of the Metroid attack on a mine is a puppy. Whom Tsukasa takes up and gives to the dog-phobia-stricken [[Series/KamenRiderRyuki Ren]].
215	** [[Series/PowerRangersRPM Corinth]]'s people thought that they were the last surviving humans on Earth after [[AIIsACrapshoot Venjix nuked the hell out of Sri Lanka]], leading them to be quite surprised when the Chalice arrived.
216	* SoundtrackDissonance: [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam0080WarInThePocket Chris]] gunning down the Kampfer after linking the gleefully inappropriate War in the Pocket theme song.
217	* SpeakIllOfTheDead: The first genuine KickTheDog moment the [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Titans]] get is besmirching [[Anime/FafnerInTheAzureDeadAggressor Ryo's]] name and Tatsumiya Island all in the same breath. It was quite the BerserkButton for quite a few pilots.
218	* SpellMyNameWithAnS:
219	** Despite the official English spelling being [[Anime/ZoidsNewCentury "Leena Toros"]], her player preferred the Japanese spelling of "Rinon". Why? a) because it sounds more interesting, and b) because you see it onscreen in one episode, in English, even in the edited version. Parodied by [[GameMaster Zappa]] in her intro mission, by "misspelling" it and having to correct his spelling of the name.
220	** Justified with [[OriginalGeneration MarKus]], whose capital letter comes from a typo on his birth certificate.
221	** The player of [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Heero Yuy]] prefers the spelling "Hiiro" instead.
222	* SparedByTheAdaptation: So far [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam0080WarInThePocket Bernie Wiseman]] and [[Series/KamenRiderFourze Nadeshiko Misaki]] have been spared from their canon deaths.
223	* SpiritualSuccessor: To ''Roleplay/SuperRobotWarsUnlimitedGeneration'', with many of its players and game masters returning. Also got its own in the form of ''Battle Moon Wars Zero'', a short-lived LJRP with a fantasy-like setting.
224	* StableTimeLoop: Aside from Demonbane's, the Kairos Aspida plot wound up involving one. Turns out the Primeval Force's very existence hinged on a one such loop, and defeating it in the game's "present" also ensured it would never come about in the future and send the Second Impact-causing asteroid back in time in the first place.
225	* StealthPun: The first ''TabletopGame/BlissStage'' mission is called "First Action", referring to a term from the game it came from but also the fact it's the first mission in the whole RP.
226	* TakingYouWithMe:
227	** New Fusion uses a powerful KillSat to try to obliterate the [=PreDesu=] and others with them.
228	** This was what Canon was told to do, attempting to use the FENRIR system to obliterate herself, the Chalice crew and Tatsumiya Island.
229	* ATasteOfPower:
230	** Nanohana and Eri got to use the Endless [=PreDesu=] machines during the combat log of Broken Wings, after their initial machines had been pushed to the breaking point.
231	** In a later log, [=MarKus=] also [[AscendedFanboy got to become a Kamen Rider]], using the [[Series/KamenRiderBlade Leangle]] deck to help fend off Undead, [[Series/KamenRiderRyuki Mirror Monsters]], and [[VideoGame/MetroidPrime Fission Metroids]].
232	* ThemeMusicPowerUp: As expected of a ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'' game, players often link appropriate music when their characters do something awesome.
233	* ThereAreNoTherapists: Averted: [[Series/KamenRiderDecade Tsukasa]] seems to have taken up this role.
234	* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill:
235	** [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam0080WarInThePocket Kampfer]] is closing in to take out the Alex. What does Chris do? Pump enough lead into the suit's cockpit to carve it out and liquefy the pilot.
236	** Similarly, the joint assault that killed Metroid Prime was enough to completely annihilate every trace of its body... [[SubvertedTrope save for]] [[FromASingleCell a single tentacle that'd previously been hacked off]].
237	* ThisIsUnforgivable: Not a lot of people were happy finding Shouko's grave desecrated. Thankfully, it seems like cooler heads prevailed here.
238	* ThreateningShark: For the most part inverted. Because of the infamous "Shark Gun" from ''VideoGame/MetalWolfChaos'', sharks are typically used in a heroic fashion when they're shown. Naturally, Richard Hawk's EvilCounterpart weapon to the Shark Gun fired dolphins.
239	* TheTokyoFireBall: Due to the [[Anime/FafnerInTheAzureDeadAggressor Festum going to town on the country even before Second Impact]] and then [[FromBadToWorse everything that followed]], Japan is pretty much ''gone''. Aside from a select handful of important locals, such as [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Tokyo-3]], the whole country is a no-mans land.
240	* TravelingAtTheSpeedOfPlot: The White Chalice is pretty shameless about this, to the point it only took one week to travel from the Moon to Mars... and at one point took several weeks to travel from Florida to Africa.
241	* UnderTheMistletoe: Haman invokes this when she arrives. [[HilarityEnsues Hilarity]] [[RelationshipUpgrade (and a couple of upgraded relationships)]] [[HilarityEnsues Ensues]].
242	* UnknownRival: In spite of [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Jerid]] harboring a grudge against Kamille and voicing it, during the Zeta Gundam missions Kamille's been more concerned with other enemies, leaving Jerid to just get his ass handed to him by other people.
243	* VaguenessIsComing: Series/KamenRiderAmazon appears in "Endless Play" to aid the heroes and only warns them that Decade "is not friend".
244	* VillainousBreakdown: In the ''Project [=PreDestiny=][=/=]Franchise/{{Metroid}}'' introduction mission, Sasodina snaps after [[Anime/GalaxyAngel Forte]] kills Kobra and Nanohana kills Kumojack. Both Nanohana and Eri are shocked by her breakdown.
245	* VillainTeamUp:
246	** One born out of necessity, as was revealed in the Getter Robo intro. With much of the Earth saturated with Getter Rays, the Dinosaur Empire had no choice but to be assimilated by the [[EldritchAbomination Invaders]] to continue to fight to reclaim the Earth. Cue Mechasauruses becoming full-blown BodyHorror.
247	** A number of villainous groups such as [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing OZ]] and [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam the Titans]] have allied themselves with Adventus. The Zeta Gundam mission in space shows Jerid leading a group of Advent units in Titans colors.
248	* WalkingDisasterArea: Most places the White Chalice visits have a tendency to end up as a smoking pile of ruin, or at least get attacked by one enemy or another and suffer significant damage and casualties. This did not escape the characters' attention as they [[{{Lampshade}} mention it themselves]].
249	%%* WartimeWedding: In the loosest sense of the term concerning the marriage of Devon and Cheng.
250	* WelcomeBackTraitor: The crew easily welcomes Cheng back with open arms after it's revealed that he was BrainwashedAndCrazy, with the exception of [[VideoGame/ArmoredCore Alexi]], who planned to ventilate his head before whacking him with the gun and saying they're back to square one.
251	%%** [[OriginalGeneration Laura]] gets this treatment as well.
252	* WellIntentionedExtremist: The original villain Adventus seems to be this, a faction dedicated to stopping wars and conflict by any means necessary. They also [[EvilLuddite hate all giant robots]], blaming them for the Second Impact. [[{{Hypocrite}} Which doesn't stop them from using mecha themselves]].
253	* WhatTheHellHero:
254	** Despite many characters being on the side of good, a number of them have pulled questionable moves that's earned them a few of these comments. Most of them have been aimed at [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Kamille]].
255	** [[WesternAnimation/MegasXLR Coop]] gets this when he first appears, and promptly tosses out [[OriginalGeneration Nano]][[MagicalGirlWarrior hana's]] mech to take its spot. Possibly doubles as TakeThatMe, as Nanohana and Coop are roleplayed by the same player.
256	** Ayame practically scolds Sora for not telling the correct people immediately about Seiren's condition.
257	** During ''To The Wandering, Blooming Flowers,'' [[OriginalGeneration Mongrel]] [[TogetherInDeath incinerated]] [[Anime/CasshernSins Dio and Leda]] just after Dio died due to the Ruin, and Leda- who was unarmed and posed no threat at the time- was left in tears, leaning over him, mourning his death. The sheer KickTheDog of it all left several other mission participants disgusted, and it shows in the post-mission threads.
258	* WholePlotReference: Miki Hoshii was one of the few [[VideoGame/TheIdolmaster Idolmaster]] characters who did not make the transition to ''Anime/IdolmasterXenoglossia'', so her character development and behavior is mainly drawn from the original game while retooling it for the setting.
259	* WhoWouldWantToWatchUs: Subverted in varying ways. It's explained in-universe that the ''Franchise/KamenRider'' franchise was non-fiction, with all the shows just being documentaries filmed after the events and actually quite successful. ''Manga/GetterRobo'' also got a similar treatment, albeit as the [[{{Bowdlerise}} heavily edited]] "Starvengers", a show which is a BerserkButton for Ryouma and Hayato.
260	* TheWorfEffect:
261	** DOWNFALL ends up doing this to the entire ''Franchise/KamenRider'' cast, having Kamen Riders Blade, Accel, Fourze and half of Double captured and Decade suffering from memory loss from pushing himself too far.
262	** The mission "It's Safe Now" does this for both [[Anime/{{Vandread}} Super Vandread]], which was comprised of [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam the Zeta Gundam, the Super Gundam]] and the G-Savior and the [[OriginalGeneration Desu Ellen]], the ace unit of the Desu squad.
263	* WhamEpisode:
264	** The mission Broken Wings marked the sudden downturn to the Chalice's improved relationship with the Federation, coupled with Adventus joining forces with the Federation.
265	** "Colliding War Zones": [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Blex]] is revealed to be a Percolati, effectively destroying Karaba's credibility, Solomon is completely obliterated by [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam0083StardustMemory the GP-02's nuke]] and Scirocco arrives at the end armed with [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Mobile Dolls]].
266	** "First Contact": The first appearance of the [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration Inspectors]].
267
