2--> '''--superslinger2007 (Internet persona)''''', YoutubePoop: superslinger2007 Edition FOUR!: Annotations Ahoy'' (June 8, 2008), [[AlterEgoActing though he may have described the fugitive user, too.]]
3
4(Uhh, please wave... like this (... [[https://safebooru.donmai.us/posts/1721038?tags=matoi_ryuuko+waving like t--]])[[labelnote:Image details (SAFE)]]Someone's fanart of Ryuko Matoi doing just that, from a safer site.[[/labelnote]]. [[AuthorAppeal Okay, thank you!]])
5
6He's a "fugitive", of course he's gonna do that. Let's [[DescribeTopicHere describe him here]].
7
8A self-proclaimed ([[ThenLetMeBeEvil maybe?]]) fugitive who should have died back in a lonely December, '''superslinger2007''' refers to either the real-life person known as the fugitive user, or the online Internet Persona with a Vader mask. The name stemmed from a Lego {{Franchise/BIONICLE}} minigame from the Game Boy Advance game "Quest for the Toa" and, due to lack of ideas, was a LineOfSightName.
9
10[[YourDaysAreNumbered His days were numbered]] in [[ArcWords both senses]] [[DoubleEntendre of the phrase]], leading to a [[NuclearOption nuclear self-detonation]]. Or he [[InstantHumiliationJustAddYouTube had his identity COMPROMISED]] in 2010 and went [[HeWhoFightsMonsters accidentally brutal]] ...[[BrutalHonesty ly honest]] two years later, leading to [[DrivenToSuicide "fatal decision" attempts]].
11
12In either case, [[CannotSpitItOut he couldn't say why]]. Okay, that ''is'' too depressing.
13
14-> ''For your own safety and the safety of others, please do not agitate superslinger2007.''
15
16This is gonna get long...
17
18The user (real name: Jack) is a random-mashup crossover editor who has an on-and-off thing against [[{{Paparazzi}} cameras]], as in the RealLife case of May 22, 2010 when he was COMPROMISED at a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otafest convention]]. However, he argued that being a candidist is arguably better than [[HalfLife being an Anticitizen as there is no law enforcement going after candidists that are not paparazzi-level]]. Then, he planned to get some [[NonIndicativeName payback]], and has since accepted the fact that '''''social media has evolved'''''. But... it's on-and-off.
19
20The [[AlterEgoActing Internet Persona (character)]] was mostly an [[CaptainErsatz Ersatz]] of Darth Vader around a private finalization back in late 2006-March 17, 2007 as a CostumeCopycat, and has since gotten an ExpansionPackPast-style DivergentCharacterEvolution with a MysteriousPast. A figurative [[EmpireWithADarkSecret Imperial With Many Dark Secrets]], he self-created six Psyche-Locks (the sixth being irregular and having the Empire emblem). An investigation was launched for yet another secret in 2010-2011. The persona's Vader mask still remained [[MorphicResonance in his virtual vector form]], after his yet-untold final physical death, and the persona believed [[PinkIsForSissies pink was a threatening color]].
21
22The persona was a living [[IncrediblyLamePun breathing]] [[NukeEm Nuclear]] TimeBomb who had gone highly mentally unstable due to March 17, 2007, the '''COMPROMISE''', and since, making him a rotating-train-of-thought version of a TalkativeLoon. The user? Prone to such rants, especially on Twitter.
23
24Since May 2011, the user and the persona are no longer on good terms with each other. On Sept. 21, 2011, the user has made effective '''Backlash''' rules, which attempt to use counter-prejudice against any agitation in the harshest way possible, as defense against bullies and as a well-too-hidden SourOutsideSadInside plea for help to the rest. In May-June 2012, the user became a "fugitive" of society itself, convinced that it is against him. According to the non-canon Op/Res 5, the Internet Persona was eventually deleted off of [=GLaDOS's=] systems and mailed away as a ball of energy for safekeeping.
25
26Despite this, Jack has made efforts to have certain... well, ''many'', local {{cosplay}}ers, especially some going as a certain HopeBringer character, write encouraging/motivational statements in some guidebooks, which since 2014 are [[InsistentTerminology called "mental stability papers"]]. And he continued to [[AuthorAppeal have the cosplayers wave at the camera]], similar to how in CODE RED, [[AsideGlance some characters winked at the camera.]]
27
28Overtime was first declared on the May 2013 fear/survival mission for Nov. 30, 2013, at which time the "fugitive" had reformed. Yet [[AndTheAdventureContinues it seemed there was still unfinished business]], and he may be falling into mild despair and anxiety once more... if not for a LastSecondEndingChoice final mission (the [5161814] unfinished business "no more delusion" thing). But faced with an automatic mission failure, a LoopholeAbuse was created: To avoid the aptly named "ExactTimeToFailure" result, the objectives were changed so that only '''one''' primary unfinished-business objective became required and the others became non-mandatory primaries. And then overtime was declared half a year later once more for [5161814] itself for Nov. 29, 2014, which ended with satisfactory to excellent results, leading to a final victory.
29
30Still, more laments appeared shortly thereafter in social media posts alongside a new codename: ''code51515''. Jack expected his reformed 2014-self to finally die off in May 2015 when he would have been an amalgamation of his personalities from each year of 2010-2014, including the delusionally-deathly-afraid part... and not being able to recognize anyone in front of him. Thankfully, code51515 was a success, despite a few [[TheOneThatGotAway runaway]] issues and it being the EndOfAnAge. Due to rising fears, no mission was undertaken for Nov. 2015.
31
32More outings, known as a ''Post-Demise Return'' (to initially tie into Op/Res), were undertaken between July and November 2016. The following season, where Jack hopes to make up ''...for Lost Opportunities'', began in March 2017 (for this season of outings, alleged runaways are treated with RestrainedRevenge or otherwise ForgivenButNotForgotten, and Hoobastank's "Just One" was chosen as a form of the IWantSong). This season ultimately lasted until October 2017, marking the unfortunate [[EndOfAnAge End of Another Age]] due to [[TheOneThatGotAway runaway situations and unfortunate circumstances]] that [[CreatorBreakdown caused too much anger to be viably healthy]].
33
34In a fictional [[AlternateUniverse alternate-reality]] {{Dramatization}}, seven people, known as The Opposition, want the "fugitive" dead. Furthermore, [5161814] came at a cost: For loopholing the mission objectives to avoid automatic failure, and [[TheOneThatGotAway letting someone get away from him]], Op/Res's status-quo had to be shaken up; something went wrong, and it paved the way for later plot developments. code51515's success was to reverse that. However, Op/Res was placed into an indefinite SeriesHiatus in March 2016 to the point of being {{cancelled}} the next month.
35
36However, on November 25, 2016, a [[http://superslinger2007.blogspot.ca/2016/11/teaser-poster.html new teaser poster]] was released on the ss07 blog, marked 2017 and featuring Madoka and Engineer in front of the destroyed Inhibitor 2. On this same blog, character renders of the ''Team Fortress 2'' and ''Madoka Magica'' characters (plus one of Op/Res's StarterVillain) then appeared from December 15-25. It was then made more explicit in [[https://twitter.com/superslinger07/status/811253167455236096 a tweet]] on Dec. 20, 2016 that a {{remake}} was in the works, which was [[https://twitter.com/superslinger07/status/813172927289921536 formally announced with another poster]] five days later on Christmas.
37
38In an attempt to let go of the past, only trope listings for the Opposition/Resurrection series remain.

44From 2007-2009, superslinger2007 created Flash-based mashups entitled ''WTPF?'', named after a Homestar Runner term. It lasted for six installments and eventually shifted into random video mashups entitled YouTubePoop: superslinger2007 Edition!, inspired [[CreatorBreakdown (even negatively)]] by other YTP mashup creators. These two series had their own cases of EarlyInstallmentWeirdness.
45
46On Christmas 2009, part 1 of a proposed series-crossover two-parter finale was released: ''WTPF? 7: terminal distortion''. Part 2 remains in DevelopmentHell to this day as the SequelGap builds on due to several hard drive formats, current worries about runaway cosplays, and growing out of the early random phase.

51In 2010, a mashup series was created: '''''CODE RED'''''. It was a partial YTP mashup series that depicted the ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' characters attempting to use mental inhibitor machines constructed by the Net Persona. They, commanded by [=GLaDOS=] in [[ActorAllusion a rather "Administrative" voice]], launch an investigation and attempt to solve a mystery that stemmed from the persona's old lifetime in 2007: a case file '''[=#SK09-HM10-07XX=]''', consisting of two music videos with an [[ElephantInTheLivingRoom out-in-the-open fictionally-controversial]] {{fanservice}} element.
52
53The mercs attempt to use the mental inhibitor machines for recon and info, only to pull up a lot of random footage and eventually summon a lot of other characters (some rather {{Unexpected|Character}} in the process, especially [[Manga/KOn a shy bassist who was traumatized]], [[DoppelgangerCrossover an influx of several characters]] voiced by Creator/MichelleRuff (as Jack's identity was COMPROMISED the year she was a guest at Otafest in May 2010), and... an influx of [[{{Music/Vocaloid}} synthesizer performer characters]], as well as many odd [[TrademarkFavoriteFood green-onion]]-shaped [[AnimateInanimateObject missiles]]. To this day, the music videos are continuously being reuploaded and mirrored by other users on a video site, despite its risky {{fanservice}} content.
54
55The finale, set on Jan. 2, 2011, was finally depicted in a web novel completed on Jan. 2, 2012. NovelizationFirst - Reader discretion is advised. [[http://coderedthewrittenadaptation.blogspot.com coderedthewrittenadaptation.blogspot.com]]

58In May 2011, superslinger2007 ran an experimental amateur documentary video log series referred to as the ill-fated "Payback vlogs" as a response to the COMPROMISE. In June 2012, this OldShame series was placed on TheShelfOfMovieLanguishment, [[TooGoodToLast cancelled]], [[OrphanedSeries orphaned]], and partially {{Creator Backlash}}ed due to Jack's [[HeWhoFightsMonsters horrifying (yet unintentional)]] BrutalHonesty behaviour within (and too many CriticalResearchFailure inaccuracies and HarsherInHindsight moments, especially in the unreleased episodes).
59
60Only the cosplay segments are accepted by Jack today, and many more were recorded for private personal purposes. This was done from May 19, 2013 to May 16-18 to October 4 and November 29, 2014, and to May 15-17 (plus May 21, July 11, and October 17), 2015, July 1-3 and November 5, 2016 (with September 10), plus March 12 and 14 to June 30-July 2, 2017.
61
62Reports indicate that private cosplay segments were also filmed at theatre screenings of ''Series/DoctorWho'': [[Recap/DoctorWho50thASTheDayOfTheDoctor "The Day of the Doctor"]] and ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagicaTheMovieRebellion'' in Nov.-Dec. 2013, and after screenings of ''Anime/DragonBallZBattleOfGods'' and ''Doctor Who'': [[Recap/DoctorWhoS34E1DeepBreath "Deep Breath"]] in August 2014.
63
64There are less-substantiated rumors of cosplay segment recordings at these theatre screenings: ''Franchise/LoveLive: The School Idol Movie'' on February 4, 2016 (Day 96 of a 243-day break), ''[[Anime/LoveLiveSunshine Aqours First Love Live ~Step! ZERO to ONE~]]'' on March 27, 2017, one of ''Manga/BlackButler: Book of the Atlantic'' on the {{Schedule Slip}}ped date of June 15, 2017 (Day 36 of a 50-day break), and ''Aqours 2nd Love Live Happy Party Train Tour'' on October 21, 2017 (Day 111 of an eternal break). Some unsubstantiated rumors indicate his presence at a library event on December 2.

68In February 2012, a successor of randomness to ''CODE RED'' began: ''inhibitor filler''. It became a new {{dramatization}} in May 2013 entitled ''Opposition/Resurrection'', at the cost of release frequency.
69
70Warning: ''Op/Res'' uses all sorts of ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' + ''Rebellion'' storyline spoilers. But it's not only the Holy Quintet and the RED and BLU "Codename Fortress" mercs who are around.

87[[folder:Opposition/Resurrection A]]
88
89* ATeamFiring: [=FemScout=] can't seem to hit any Opposition member with her pistols or Soda Popper. Averted in ep 6 using BloodlessCarnage.
90* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In a superslinger2007 / LF Productions mashup crossover, characters tend to be nicer than in their source material.
91* AdaptationalVillainy / AdaptationalJerkass: However, the Opposition Members, as well as the Hostiles, are said to hate the Fugitive so much, their personality went out of whack. Member #6 went through this so hard in Op/Res, she started shooting people into comas. See also Enemy Mine below.
92* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: Lambent Light was credited as a "stolen sword" instead of a rapier for sake of simplicity.
93* AllCGICartoon: As with ''inhibitor filler'', the Op/Res video episodes were made with MikuMikuDance, GarrysMod, and AdobeFlash.
94* {{Allegory}}: The Op/Res series may be very close to becoming one.
95* AlmostLethalWeapons: See Situational Sword below
96* AlterEgoActing: Type 3. Substantially different than superslinger2007 the Net Persona vs. Jack the renegade fugitive (later sunglasses NervousWreck), there is a third alter-ego "ButIPlayOneOnTV"-like personality: a delusional capital-letter-Fugitive who is able to recruit a few others to a cause, whose mind is stuck in the dark times, and whom seven people apparently want dead.
97* AlternateSelf: There is a second Homura from an AlternateTimeline popping around, and she wants to keep Madoka happy by keeping a formerly-suicidal man alive against the Opposition.
98* AnachronicOrder: Averted for the most part. However, the Christmas/Holiday shorts usually take place after the latest episode at the time, and then there are the inhibitor-footage-based flashbacks in episodes 3, 5, and 6.
99* AnachronismStew: Due to PresentDayPast, rotating interests, and callbacks to earlier ss07 mashups. For example:
100** The 80s-era ''[[Disney/WreckItRalph Fix-It Felix, Jr.]]'' machine in the 60s-era ''[=TF2=]'' locker room.
101** The Death Star II in the sky.
102** The events in episodes 2 and 3 (set in 2013) that were inspired by the dark times nearly 1 1/2 years before, or influenced by a [5161814] mission 5+ months after its setting, [[AccidentallyAccurate retroactively]] or otherwise.
103** [[Creator/YuuAsakawa Luka, voiced by a special guest,]] wearing the white scarf of a character from a show that debuted ''after'' May 2014.
104** In Op/Res 5, Engineer wears a vest, probably the Tools of the Trade, in a scene that takes place weeks before Expiration Date and the Love and War Update's real-life release date.
105** Sniper does an EyeAmWatchingYou taunt gesture in an Op/Res ep 5 flashback set on May 17, 2014, weeks before the Love and War Update introduced it in-game.
106* {{Angrish}}:
107** Engineer, just before collapsing as a result of seeing Sasha (not the gun) on the viewscreen in Op/Res 4's prologue.
108** Heavy just as he suffers a coma-inducing headshot in Op/Res 5.
109* AnimationLeadTime: See Present Day Past / Time Marches On below.
110* AntagonistTitle: Half.
111* AnthropicPrinciple: 7 people target an enigmatic Fugitive for death. Fugitive enlists mercenaries and magical girls for protection. Alleged hostiles also enter the fray.
112* AnyoneCanDie: Downplayed. They get incapacitated, arrested, or whatever. It's even more so, now that [[NothingIsTheSameAnymore the plot shakeups]] and [[CreatorBreakdown love/hate grudges]] are taking hold.
113* ApocalypticLog: A variant of this exists at the end of Op/Res 5. [[spoiler:An audio archive file marked "High priority" is a recording of the Fugitive's voice. It's a message intended for Engineer that tells of the Fugitive's deal with a devil and that this devil tries to run him through with a sword... on December 16, 2012, the day after he was (not) supposed to die.]]
114* AppliedPhlebotinum:
115** Electric zaps emitted from the slashed inhibitor in ep 2 drew the new teleport-invoking feature (''CODE RED'' finale epilogue) from the rebuilt inhibitor and synced with it and inhibitor #3. This led to time screw teleports, as well as the unfortunate drastic change in appearance for one character, and may be connected to all those cameo characters showing up.
116** A PowerNullifier effect, or whatever "dark powers of delusion", placed onto Sakura's wand to suppress the magical girls' transformations were removed when it was returned to its rightful owner.
117** Op/Res 8 reveals that a suppression field may be in place to keep [[spoiler:Kyoko]] in a coma despite how a [[spoiler:Soul Gem]] works.
118* AprilFoolsDay: On April 1, 2015, a modified version of [[spoiler:the Fugitive's recording about his deal with a devil]] from the end of Op/Res 5 was briefly posted on Dailymotion as a "confession".
119* ArcWords: "Something against us", based on an actual phrase used during the first two fatal decisions in 2012.
120* ArcadeSounds: Audio from the Fix-it-Felix Jr. machine in the RED spawnroom is heard in Op/Res 1 and 3. Soldier even tries to mimic the beeps and boops of the in-game music.
121* ArmorPiercingSlap: This event after the battle in Op/Res episode 3 was so prominent in the plot shakeups, a spoilery screenshot of this was even provided in the Otafest debriefings REDUX in June 2014, and it's repeatedly mentioned by the Fugitive in Op/Res 5. Unfortunately, that infamous May 14, 2012 newscast (see also Ripped from the Headlines below) and a missed [5161814] (2014) encounter ''both'' have something to do with it. Reunions on Nov. 29, 2014 and May 16, 2015 arrived too late to change this.
122* TheArtifact:
123** Kyubey is always seen with [[Manga/KOn Ritsu]] rather than the Holy Quintet girls. This element that kicked off Op/Res's predecessor, ''inhibitor filler'', may be justifiable because Kyubey may be constantly trying to convert Ritsu, or the fact that [[DoppelgangerCrossover nothing can stop characters who sound the same from meeting up]].
124** [[{{Music/Vocaloid}} Miku]] using green-onion-shaped missiles in her arsenal, even though by 2013 it's a throwaway relic from a pair of actual 2007-era Vocaloid music videos that inspired the CODE RED mashups.
125** Said missiles still [[{{Roboteching}} turn around in midair]] for a boost in speed due to an animation error in a CODE RED episode.
126* ArtisticLicenseGeography: In the ss07 series, the black voids seem to connect places together, including the places that serve as {{Real Place Background}}s.
127* ArtisticLicenseMedicine: In Op/Res 8, [[spoiler:Kyoko gets pulled by the arms even after getting a lot of bones broken from Strength's NoHoldsBarredBeatdown]]. However, [[spoiler:Sayaka had been sitting down beside Kyoko since the headshot, probably subtly using her HealingFactor on her fallen friend, and then uses a Medigun on her]]. Then again, knowing how Soul Gems ''[[WalkingSpoiler really work]]'' might soften the blow a bit.
128* ArtStyleDissonance / RogerRabbitEffect: There are a mix of cartoon-styled and anime-styled characters trying to fight other such characters and realistic-styled ones to the death.
129* AssholeVictim: In Op/Res 5, [[spoiler:one of the spacesuit-men falls to the power of the Manga/DeathNote.]]
130* AnAssKickingChristmas: Op/Res episode 3, set on Dec. 13-15, 2013, had Resurrection Movement teammates take on Opposition member #2. See also Did I Mention It's Christmas? and Soapland Christmas below.
131* AudibleSharpness: The Lambent Light sword in ep 1, Sayaka's swords in ep 2, and Stocking's swords in ep 5 and 6.
132* AuthorAppeal:
133** The first two episodes were influenced by the preparation and [[YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle apparent success]] of the May 2013 fear/survival mission before overtime was declared, while ep 3 was additionally influenced by November 2013's fear/survival overtime, given that one flashback features a multitude of cameo characters.
134** Tweets from fall 2013 hint at ''locked'' rotating interests, eventually leading to cameo characters in ep 3.
135** The Feb. 12 Twitter spree indicates:
136*** in ep 3, Engineer has a [[http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Mister_Bubbles Big Daddy doll thing]] in his pocket while meeting a [[Franchise/BioShock Little Sister]]
137*** a character from [[VideoGame/LightningReturnsFinalFantasyXIII a game released on Feb. 11, 2014]] with [[DoppelgangerCrossover the same voice actress]] as [[WesternAnimation/AdventureTime Flame Princess]] appears as a [[UnexpectedCharacter "security breach"]]. (Also, there was once a time where there were [[IdenticalStranger "two Serahs running around"]].) Confirmed to be Lumina. Also, Serah ''does'' make an appearance under less favourable conditions.
138** The very act of encountering two or more cosplayers as the same character over the years, even in the dark times (though not necessarily always at the same time) may have influenced the idea of Second-Homura.
139** [[DoppelgangerCrossover Characters with the same voice actors meet with each other]].
140** In the end, "[[JustifiedTitle Excessive rotations can prove dangerous]]" and can hinder the Resurrection Movement at some point in the future.
141* AuthorAvatar: In regards to the original Op/Res, the "man with short black hair and [...] sunglasses" in the CODE RED finale novel has a larger role. Here, however, is a heavily fictionalized version of this same man whose mind is still stuck in the dark times (circa 2012) and is almost killed by a nightmare mistress.
142* AuthorTract:
143** Op/Res was originally conceived in early 2013 based on delusional fears.
144** There was also [[HappilyFailedSuicide that "fatal decision" suicide thing]] going on, too.
145** We were promised plot shakeups because critical meetups expected at [5161814] went wrong. After Black Rock Shooter's defeat, we have Serah slapping Homura and the wrong Nagisa tackling Homura to show for it. But a catchup reunion happened during [5161814]: overtime, six months later, and more of them happened during code51515, six months after that...
146** Taken to the extreme with the reveal of the "candy cane sword" girl at the end of Op/Res 5.
147** The Metro Police from ''VideoGame/HalfLife2'''s Combine forces [[TonightSomeoneDies kidnap, or rather, arrest a few characters]] as TimePolice in Op/Res 6 and 7.
148
149[[/folder]]
150
151[[folder:Opposition/Resurrection B-D]]
152
153* BadFuture / BadPresent: The second-Homura's here to prevent one. She wants to keep the Fugitive alive because if he died, the nightmare mistress would harm everyone, as she learns by discovering the Fugitive's voice recording in Op/Res 6. See also What If? below.
154-> '''Fugitive:''' ''(recording)'' Society clearly has something against me, and it obviously wants me silenced, too.\
155'''Second-Homura:''' I'd... rather die.
156* TheBadGuysAreCops: The TimePolice being a possible remnant of Combine CP forces. Can be justified because their agenda is at odds with the Resurrection Movement's.
157* BagOfHolding:
158** Homura seems to be able to carry around an Aperture Sentry Turret, which is a lot larger than her shield, and hide it until necessary. She even returned Spy's Cloak and Dagger watch after reaching behind her shield in episode 2.
159** In ep 3, Second-Homura picked up the phone that prime!Homura dropped and put it away behind her own shield. It's assumed Second-Homura got her gun from behind her shield, too, as the Op/Res 3 teaser shows this onscreen.
160* BaitAndSwitchGunshot: In ep 3, Second-Homura shows up with a super-loud gunshot, shooting down Opposition member Black Rock Shooter and ending a MexicanStandoff between her and Resurrection teammate Heavy.
161* BasedOnAGreatBigLie: Op/Res is inspired by actual events (see Very Loosely Based on a True Story), but a huge part of it stems from a huge delusional fear that began in June 2012, escalated in December 2012 and early 2013, and was finally overcome on November 30, 2013. ''That doesn't mean there isn't [[TheResenter resentment]]'', although that could also be a great big lie because of how successful code51515 was.
162* BattleHarem: Played with. One half of the Resurrection Movement consists of magical girls, and [[LittleMissBadass they're in their mid-teens]]. But Madoka has played the role of post-fatal decision [[MoralityPet emotional support]] to the Fugitive they're protecting.
163* BerserkButton: The Fugitive commander has a few in the story:
164** [[WithUsOrAgainstUs "Runaway characters"]], or rather, those who don't plan on allying with the Resurrection Movement.
165** A blue candy cane-like sword. Op/Res 5 reveals that they are Stripes I and II that belong to Stocking, one of said runaways.
166* BewareTheNiceOnes:
167** Even the Opposition's TokenGoodTeammate, Black Rock Shooter, can hold her own in a skirmish. And then Serah shows up to berate the team after the battle, marking her as an apparent Hostile for a while.
168* {{BFG}}:
169** Black Rock Shooter (Opposition member #2) has one. She doesn't feel the need to use rapid fire, though. Engineer, however, believes it to be a "star-rocket" launcher due to the burn mark it made on the wall back then. (ep 2 and 3)
170** Maid Gunner would rather rest her giant rifle against the inhibitors' music box and tap the gun and, in effect, the box, to make an [=LhS=] play. (ep 2) She doesn't have it all the time, though. (ep 4 and 5 web novels)
171** In Op/Res 7, [[spoiler:Mami finally uses her Tiro Finale attack.]]
172* BigBad: Believed to be in possession of a stolen sword named [[LightNovel/SwordArtOnline Lambent Light]]. At least it's not Asuna we have to worry about.
173* TheBigGuy: [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 Heavy]] of the Codename Fortress mercs, but [[Disney/WreckItRalph Ralph]] still towers over him, as seen in an Op/Res 3 cameo.
174* BigSisterInstinct: In ep 2, Kyoko tried to attack Opposition member #2 after the latter incaps her close buddy Sayaka, but her spear got nerfed badly.
175* BilingualDialogue: As usual, English-speaking characters talk to Japanese-speakers.
176* BittersweetEnding: Op/Res 5. [[spoiler:Opposition Member #3 was defeated, but MissionControlIsOffItsMeds, [[ConvenientComa someone else gets headshot into a coma]], and [[TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil we learn about a new antagonist]].]]
177* BlackAndWhiteInsanity: Op/Res 5's title, "Apathy means hostility", implies this is a factor.
178* BlackDudeDiesFirst: Downplayed. The first two mercs in ''Op/Res'' proper to be [[DeusExitMachina written out via incapacitation]] are Pyro and Demoman, in that order. {{Justified}} because a flamethrower/Rainblower and explosives can finish off a human being in a very quick manner.
179* BleachedUnderpants:
180** A lot of stuff is toned down for Op/Res compared to CODE RED and previous mashups because of various MikuMikuDance community rules and general character admiration. For example, none of the main characters are killed, only defeated or incapacitated. Also, there doesn't seem to be much blood or swearing in Op/Res.
181** Taken to the extreme with Stocking. Her source material is decidedly less than appropriate, yet she's in a mashup crossover series that, like the CODE RED finale, is rated M (16+, [[http://www.fictionratings.com FictionRatings.com]]).
182* BloodlessCarnage: Zigzagged. When the Team Fortress 2 mercs get incapped, they are seen with visible wounds. In an episode 5 flashback, the Fugitive is depicted having left a trail of blood splatters and collapsed dead in a pool of blood. Blood is seen on Rena's hatchet and Scout's Flying Guillotine cleavers due to RuleOfPerception. However, no blood or wounds are seen on defeated Opposition members.
183* BlownAcrossTheRoom: The two Mecha-Engineers from hitting the demonic(?) force fielded inhibitor in ep 2, and both Scouts after being blasted by Black Rock Shooter in ep 3.
184* BookEnds: Ep 3 begins and ends with Madoka and other characters at ''VideoGame/CounterStrike Source'''s Office building, and Second-Homura watching clips from the inhibitor.
185* BoomHeadshot:
186** Spy uses his Ambassador on the spacesuit man who was harassing Kyoko in Op/Res 4, thus sending him away in a teleport.
187** An assassin takes down two of the Resurrection Movement characters with electric-rifle headshots in episode 5. A third headshot victim does get revived, though. Due to NonLethalKO, the characters still in comas are in [[ConvenientComa incapacitating comas]] '''[[DeusExitMachina for the rest of the story]]'''.
188** The assassin makes a few more takedowns in Op/Res episode 7. It's implied that a suppression field was put into play since [[spoiler:Kyoko's Soul Gem]] doesn't work how it's supposed to.
189* BreakingTheFourthWall: At the end of Op/Res 3, after shutting off a "people have something against me" recording on inhibitor #1, Second-Homura nods and grins at the camera, implying she might return to deal with [[BasedOnAGreatBigLie someone who may have something against the Fugitive, after all.]]
190* BrickJoke:
191** Ep 3: After the title sequence, we see a boarded-up broken window on Dec. 13, 2013. A flashback reveals that a Dalek exterminating a [[VideoGame/HalfLife2 Combine bomb]] caused the window to shatter weeks earlier, on Nov. 23, 2013.
192** Ep 3: One flashback features [[Manga/LuckyStar Konata]] holding a Death Note. Another flashback down the line features Konata and [[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya Haruhi]]. Another yet later on features Konata and [[Manga/FairyTail Lucy H]]. Then [[TalkingToHimself all three come together]] and meet up with [[Manga/DeathNote Misa]]... in order to return that Death Note to her.
193* BroadStrokes: In regards to the many characters pulled out of time, yet OOC portrayals were restrained as much as possible. See also Fish Out of Temporal Water.
194* BroughtDownToNormal: Sayaka, Madoka (!), and Homura are forced to de-transform by Op member #2's stolen wand. Sayaka became vulnerable to incapacitation because she can't use her HealingFactor; WordOfGod says untransformed magical girls can't use their powers.
195* TheBusCameBack: Miku, the CODE RED case file subject, returns in episodes 2 and 5 with more green onion missiles. However, two returning characters from CODE RED have become Opposition Members. Later, Scout returns from a lengthy incapacitation to work alongside Female Scout.
196* BusCrash: In Op/Res 5, the Fugitive reveals the fate of the Vader-masked Internet persona, who was last seen in the ''CODE RED'' finale. [[spoiler:When Inhibitor 2 was slashed and destroyed, his {{Brain Upload|ing}}ed soul was removed and placed into a glowing ball. [=GLaDOS=] discovered the soul and mailed it to a [[RealitySubtext blue-haired female angel of death]] for safekeeping.]] This fate summarizes the [[WhatCouldHaveBeen long-abandoned]] "One Step Beyond" YTP mashup.
197* CallBack: [[http://superslinger2007.jimdo.com/opres-long-list-tropes/ See here.]]
198* CallForward:
199** In ep 3, Scout, [=FemScout=], Medic and Spy are briefly seen in the holiday outfits or scarf they wear in "Exploding bauble mischief at Coldfront", which was released earlier.
200** [=FemScout=] is even seen with only her headset on (without her cap) while the Fugitive talks about a character "meeting someone who sounds exactly just like" them.
201** Medic's outfit in Op/Res 3 is the one seen throughout "Exploding bauble..." before he puts on a new outfit there.
202** In the blog post "[=ResMov=] file: December 24", Engineer is seen with [[https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Roboot a prosthetic left foot made of sentry parts]]. This implies that Engineer would suffer a leg injury between the published 1st half of episode 8 and the events of that blog post.
203* TheCameo: Very many, in fact. Most such characters are not referred to by name.
204* CannotSpitItOut:
205** Double subverted in Op/Res 3. The Fugitive, who [[MetaFic obviously]] doesn't have weapons of his own to defend himself, almost blurts out something, yet it causes a reaction anyway:
206--> '''Fugitive:''' "Just last year around [December 15], I was almost kil--"\
207'''Scout:''' "[[OhCrap Aw crap!]]"\
208'''Mami:''' "[[BilingualDialogue Eh?!]]"\
209'''Sayaka:''' "[[BigWhat What!?]]"\
210'''Madoka:''' "[[DoomMagnet That's awful!]]"\
211'''Homura:''' "[[SeenItAll I see...]]"\
212'''Fugitive:''' "Ugh. I don't wanna talk about it."
213** Eventually averted in episode 5. The Fugitive does declare that he "almost got killed a year before [Serah] slapped [Homura] in the face."
214* CanonDiscontinuity: ''Opposition/Resurrection'' is basically no longer canon now that there's a remake named ''Opposed!''.
215* CatSmile: Miku is still seen doing this, especially while [[AsideGlance winking]], in episode 3's flashbacks.
216* CerebusCallBack:
217** The star-shaped burn mark on the donation room wall in Op/Res 2, which was a ChekhovsGag during CODE RED (2010). The girl who shot that wall is now Opposition Member #2.
218** At the end of Op/Res 2, the Fugitive tells the team to "Go ahead, do whatever". But at the end of Op/Res 5, he's in a rage when he orders Madoka to "Go ahead. Do it!".
219* ChangeTheUncomfortableSubject: In ep 2, after trying to explain to a disgruntled [=FemScout=] why Rena goes "ImTakingHerHomeWithMe", the fugitive very abruptly reminds the team to take Rena down while she's distracted because [[DisproportionateRetribution "the Death Star's not gonna wait"]].
220* CharacterCheck: In Op/Res 5, Neru Akita gets so fed up with fighting Scout and [=FemScout=] that she throws her shotgun down and starts playing with a yellow smartphone.
221* ChekhovMIA: In Op/Res 8 chapter 3a, the blue-haired sharpshooter notices that an eighth member of the entourage, who wears a ponytail, is absent.
222* ChekhovsGun
223** The two-tone alarm ("BRRR-BEEP!") connected to the emergency alert on a [[RealitySubtext May 18, 2014 flashback]], the audio recording of the Fugitive talking about his deal with a devil, and the Kurisu flashback set on Nov. 29, 2014. Meant to be the ''VideoGame/HalfLife2 Episode Two'' silo alarm, as reused in the ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' Blood Brothers announcement (see also [[https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Blood_Brothers#Gallery this]])
224** The futuristic dagger in Spy's belongings, which seems to belong to [[Anime/DarkerThanBlack a black-haired man with a particular mask]].
225* ChekhovsGunman:
226** [[VisualNovel/SteinsGate Kurisu]] is first seen alongside Medic. She's later known as a "girl doctor/Frau Doktor", and the above two-tone alarm becomes connected to her.
227** [[Manga/AttackOnTitan Sasha]] (not the gun) is introduced by Heavy as his new friend after BRS went to the Opposition. Sasha is later involved in an incident regarding the alarm.
228** In Op/Res 6, both Kurisu and Sasha are injured by Stocking's swords, even though the latter has little to no effect on humans. At the end of Op/Res 7, [[spoiler:the Fugitive names the two characters as "anomalies"]], which strongly implies they ''both'' have connections, much like Miku's allies did in ''CODE RED''.
229* ChristmasEpisode:
230** "[[StuffBlowingUp Exploding bauble]] mischief at Coldfront" (Christmas short 2013), set nine days after Op/Res episode 3 [[AnachronicOrder but first released six months before the latter was.]]
231** "[[AddedAlliterativeAppeal An influx in the midst of a hectic holiday]]" (Holiday short 2014), set several weeks after Op/Res 6, but released just after Op/Res 4's web novel was.
232** "[=ResMov=] file: December 24" (2015), a blog post with eight images from footage taken nearly five weeks after the Resurrection Movement went into hiding.
233** "[=ResMov=] on Christmas 2016" (see the "Opposed!" folder)
234* ChunkySalsaRule: Subverted. Several characters sustain headshots in Op/Res 5, but they fall into comas for the rest of the series. [[spoiler:They can be revived with a Reanimator box.]]
235* {{Codename}}: The Fugitive uses these for subteams within the Resurrection Movement. He names the ''[=TF2=]'' mercs Codename Fortress and refers to the magical girls as the Holy Quintet, the latter presumably due to Mami's suggestion.
236* TheCoconutEffect: This is why Homura's {{Flash Step}}s and the striped katanas make noise or onomatopoeia in ''Op/Res''.
237* ColdSniper: The existence of a mystery assassin, who's been giving people comas through electric bullets, is caused by the plot shakeups that declared that a character would fall to a non-lethal headshot for the rest of the series.
238* CommLinks: In the form of walkie talkies, cell phones, and {{Shoe Phone}}s. Curiously, the Scouts use walkie talkies attached to their right hip despite wearing a headset.
239* CompleteTheQuoteTitle:
240** The 2nd StoryArc, "[[FelonyMisdemeanor ...Like It's a Bad Thing]]", based on the phrase "You say that like...", in reference to the May 2014 CreatorBreakdown and the resulting negatively-influenced plot shakeups.
241** The proposed 5th arc's title, "Nor Hell A Fear", is a pun on the "nor hell a ''fury''" quote.
242* CompositeCharacter: As the intro disclaimer stated, but the series is also [[VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory loosely based on actual events]].
243** Op/Res 2 and 3: Black Rock Shooter just might be the first of these in terms of SignificantDoubleCasting, as she somehow gets ahold of Sakura's wand as Opposition Member #2.
244** Op/Res 4: The team deals with someone who is described as a [[{{WesternAnimation/Reboot}} "nostalgia virus"]] and had the ability to send glowing red energy from her hands. Instead, it's [[TheBully resident troll cyberbully]] [[{{Music/Vocaloid}} Neru Akita]] they're dealing with, because [[AccidentallyCorrectWriting Neru happens to have this attack in the fangame Miku'n Pop]].
245** Op/Res 7 and 8: Yutaka, by means of having [[SplitPersonalityTakeover other characters zapped into her by the inhibitors]]. She essentially becomes the embodiment of voice soundalike Nia and unwillingly becomes Opposition Member #5 as a result.
246** A character may demonstrate actions/poses from an alternate incarnation, such as Spy wearing his bloodstained post-headshot suit from "Meet the Spy", Vanellope using a miniature cherry bomb as featured in ''VideoGame/DisneyInfinity'', Elsa putting her hands on her hips as seen in ''Series/OnceUponATime'', Madoka and Homura having traits of incarnations who are [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagicaTheMovieRebellion "too different"]], or Neru having the ability to throw fireballs from Miku'n Pop that happen to be reminiscent of a virus's fireballs.
247* TheConspiracy: There may be one surrounding The Opposition that's right up there with the old "something against me" beliefs, as foreshadowed by the arrival of two characters, and that Second-Homura watches an old testimony/real-life blog at the end of episode 3. Also, the Fugitive almost blurted out he was almost killed last year around the setting of Op/Res 3, set on Dec. 13-15, 2013 (so, one year before it), and then Asuna shows up with a "Missing [[RoyalRapier Lambent Light]]" poster with text reading the sword's been connected to a Dec. 16, 2012 homicide attempt. And then the team finds a recording where the Fugitive talks about the murder attempt on his life with a silver sword... by a devil/nightmare mistress he made a deal with four months beforehand.
248* ContainmentField:
249** Since before Op/Res, Inhibitor #2's been held together at [[ExplosiveOverclocking its critical state]] by the demonic(?) force field.
250** ...and in Op/Res 8, whatever suppression field the Opposition uses to make [[spoiler:Soul Gems]] not work properly.
251* ContinuityCavalcade: Op/Res is prone to these due to cameo appearances of characters, including those who haven't had significant roles since WTPF?, YTP ss07 Edition!, or ''CODE RED''.
252* ContinuityNod:
253** Several in the Christmas short, including the shot angles used for Sniper, and what some mercs (including Sniper, Spy, and Pyro) wear or carry in previous Christmas episodes, such as "Meanwhile at Coldfront" and "delayed minute holiday attempt".
254** A character gets a sudden onscreen introduction and gets thrown into a dangerous situation with a supporting role. From a SliceOfLife show by KyotoAnimation, the character is in a school club, and debuted in an ss07 series episode released in June, just after the ever-influential Otafest. But the character is not voiced by a guest there during the year in question. So, four years after ''CODE RED'' introduced [[Anime/KOn Mio Akiyama]], the character in ''Op/Res'' is [[{{Anime/Free}} Nagisa Hazuki]]. See RecycledScript below for something similar regarding ''CODE RED'' and ''Op/Res''.
255** Misa waves her hands in similar ways in Op/Res episodes 3 and 5.
256--> The waves happened to be similar to the ones she made five months ago toward a blue-haired girl who had returned her black notebook.
257** "Ballroom Blitz" segments appear each in episodes 3 and 5's flashback montages.
258* ContrivedCoincidence: [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 Medic and Heavy]] are well-known as best buds already. Medic recruits [[VisualNovel/SteinsGate Kurisu]], and Heavy befriends [[Manga/AttackOnTitan Sasha]] (not the gun). And then Kurisu and Sasha are deemed [[SignificantDoubleCasting anomalies]].
259* ConvenientComa: Several characters sustain [[BoomHeadshot headshots]] and fall into comas. Some of them are revived through use of the mercs' Reanimator devices, though.
260* ConvenientlyTimedAttackFromBehind:
261** In ep 2, Spy stuns Rena with a shallow, controlled slash InTheBack to allow Sayaka to finish the job.
262** In ep 7, [[spoiler:Homura borrows the Scouts' Back Scatter to use against Strength]]. At the end, [[spoiler:Mami's Tiro Finale couldn't be more convenient.]]
263* ConverseWithTheUnconscious: Sayaka to [[spoiler:Kyoko]] in Op/Res 8.
264* CorruptedData:
265** Inhibitor signal scrambles invoke a garbled-audio effect since ''CODE RED'', from the game Rom Check Fail. However, the scrambles have side effects due to the damage inflicted on inhibitor #2 (the slashed one).
266** A tipped-over Recycle Bin, seen in an Op/Res 3 flashback, was last used symbolically in the prelude (''inhibitor filler'' ep27) and has corrupted [[Manga/LuckyStar Yutaka]] at the time of Op/Res 4, as a bin did with Vanellope in the prelude. This is odd because Vanellope is the one from a video game, although Yutaka was also affected by the signal scrambles during the ''CODE RED'' finale.
267* CosmicDeadline: In Op/Res 7, Strength is relatively quickly defeated for the next Opposition Member to take her place, and then [[spoiler:Yutaka's appearance gets changed]]....
268* CouchGag: The logo's text is seen with different color outlines for each episode, while the slash behind it is pulsing red. The logo colors represent characters such as [[Anime/BlackRockShooter "Ms. Black Rock"]] and Homura, and Stocking and Soldier. This idea was not truly made in ep 1 but the logo is in red to arguably represent the blood spilled in the attacks on the RED mercs. For the {{Christmas Episode}}s, the text is in green. All colors had been planned out in August 2014 and, before ''Op/Res''[='=]s cancellation, were planned to represent the two leaders of each side for episode 12.
269* CreatorInJoke:
270** Characters wave at each other in greeting. Often depicted as waving at the camera through FourthWallPsych.
271** If cosplayer encounters lead to a situation where someone went as two different characters, the characters in question may appear in the same place. This is one reason why Haruhi has a cup of tea with Mami watching during an Op/Res 3 flashback.
272** In Op/Res 3, one of the flashbacks has the retroactive FreezeFrameBonus of Sasha (not the gun) holding a piece of paper with a crude drawing of a clock in red ink; this was the '''actual real-life''' fear/survival mission: overtime logo from 2013. Asuna and France are later sent papers with a modified version of this clock drawing, as used for [5161814]: overtime.
273** Black Gold Saw performs Lili's kicks in eps 3 and 7 because [[SignificantDoubleCasting a cosplayer went as these two characters in 2012-2013]].
274** Op/Res 4 includes snippets of songs from Jack's childhood, including some retroactively SuspiciouslyAproposMusic regarding the reason for the Opposition's existence.
275--> [[Creator/JohnLithgow Big kids scare the heck outta me...]]
276** Yutaka's ribbons and uniform are, at first, recolored to look like Coro (Cororon/Coron)'s human-form outfit from ''Bubble Symphony''. This is an old YTP ss07 Edition joke involving both Yutaka and Coro having pink GirlishPigtails.
277* CreatorProvincialism: Some of the inhibitor montages feature areas from around the city where certain "local gatherings" take place in Op/Res. Mami is even seen once at the Stampede in an Op/Res 3 flashback. This would have been clearer (MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext) had the inhibitor montages been in video form.
278* CreatorThumbprint:
279** As with the ss07 series, there are tendencies for unofficial {{Massive Multiplayer Crossover}}s, [[InspiredBy local cosplayer influence]], friendly {{Student and Master Team}}s (e.g. Miku and Sniper, Mami and Engineer, Kurisu and Medic), [[TheCameo various character cameos]], and said characters who [[AdaptationalHeroism are nicer]] in the crossovers.
280*** However, [[AdaptationalVillainy the inversion of that last bit]] is in play for Op/Res due to the Opposition and its SuddenSequelHeelSyndrome.
281** Starting with ''Op/Res'', characters have started to wave at the camera via FourthWallPsych, as that's a common occurrence in {{cosplay}} segment recordings, private or otherwise. This is lampshaded in one of [[Manga/DeathNote Light's]] cameos in the Op/Res 5 novel.
282* CriticalExistenceFailure: Characters are unimpaired until they receive a blow that at least either sends them onto their knees or banishes them.
283* CrucifiedHeroShot: Sayaka, Madoka, and Homura while getting de-transformed from their magical girl forms in episodes 2 and 3.
284* CrypticBackgroundReference: In ep 1, Sniper silently apologizes after Pyro gets incapped by Rena, and Kyoko chews Sniper out for that despite not knowing what's going on with them. A flashback in ep 2 taking place earlier that day had Rena discussing a plan with Rachel that would have the former "go up in flames" if there was no massive investigation. An episode 3 flashback finally has Rachel berate Pyro for even using a flamethrower.
285* CurbStompBattle: The battles in episodes 2 and 3 boil down to this.
286* CutenessProximity: In Op/Res 2, Madoka and Homura invoke this to distract Rena despite her being a psychopath. It works.
287* CynicismCatalyst: For the Fugitive, it's almost getting killed by the Opposition Leader. But this old version of the Fugitive and his portrayer [[AlterEgoActing got really mixed up]] anyway.
288* DarkerAndEdgier / DarkFic: Definitely darker than ''CODE RED'''s premise of eventually blowing up green onion missiles. The protagonists must now face off against humans.
289* ADayInTheLimelight: The Christmas short (2013) features Scout, Pyro, and Demoman. These three had been [[PutOnABus incapacitated]] half a year beforehand, but Scout had been seen in filler ep32 and made his return chronologically in Op/Res ep 3.
290* DeadFic: The original Op/Res, with the SeriesHiatus announced in March 2016 and then getting cancelled. It's comparable to being near-{{orphaned|Series}}.
291* DealWithTheDevil: As explained in Op/Res 5. [[spoiler:An audio recording has the Fugitive admit to making a deal with '''a''' devil, which would imply why MissionControlIsOffItsMeds. Still, [[BeautyIsBad that devil... nightmare mistress was a pretty girl]]... [[IJustWantToHaveFriends who happened to go over to him that day]].]]
292* DeathByIrony: [[spoiler:Another Resurrection Movement teammate]] is sent into a coma by a headshot in Op/Res 7. Described, in Op/Res 8, that it was "almost because of" [[spoiler:Kyoko's]] "decision to ditch the Resurrection Movement" that led to the coma-inducing headshot.
293* DecapitatedArmy: Killing the Fugitive means the Resurrection Movement fails. It's a good thing he's not out in the open.
294* {{Deconstruction}}: Partially. See Reality Ensues and I Just Want to Have Friends below.
295* DecoyGetaway: Spy with his Dead Ringer watch.
296** The first time was against an otherwise lethal electric [[YourHeadASplode explosive headshot]] in the ''inhibitor filler'' prelude.
297** The second was against Rena in Op/Res 2; he got away once Rena's blade hit, but before Scout's stolen Flying Guillotine was shoved into his (fake body's) chest.
298** The third was against the Time Police in Op/Res 6. He managed to outwit and defeat them with Soldier's grenades.
299* DefeatEqualsExplosion: Inverted. Opposition members get dragged into an imploding time-screw teleport upon defeat.
300* DefectorFromDecadence: The Anti-Fugitive Pact arc would have involved Mami splintering from the Resurrection Movement forming the Dissociates against both the former Movement and the Opposition.
301* DeflectorShields: Inhibitor #2's still got that demonic(?) force field that repels PercussiveMaintenance... [[BlownAcrossTheRoom and anyone trying]].
302* DenserAndWackier: Ep 2 became twice as long as ep 1 due to voice actress references. Ep 3 was overloaded with many more of these, including {{Creator InJoke}}s throughout its ''inhibitor filler''-style flashback sequence, as well as PresentDayPast moments ranging from April to Dec. 2013 including those stated in the Feb. 12, 2014 Twitter spree. See also Wacky Wayside Tribe.
303* {{Depower}} / HumanityEnsues: Implicitly, [[spoiler:Madoka]] started appearing in inhibitor filler and takes roles in Op/Res with the wisdom she gains at the end of her source material.
304* DerivativeDifferentiation: Op/Res originally followed the idea of seven antagonists whose focus is to head out one by one to defeat someone in revenge (which is why acknowledgment is given to Scott Pilgrim's author). Eventually it started to get DarkerAndEdgier and include more opposing character-groups, troubles among team members, and a doubtful Fugitive commander into the mess.
305* DestructionEqualsOffSwitch: Subverted. In terms of regulating reality, the slash damage on Inhibitor 2 makes it unable to regulate properly, forcing the other two machines to share the added load. However, Inhibitor 2 itself remains in operation, just protected by a force field to prevent repairs or normal use.
306* DeusExitMachina: Characters, starting with those wielding strong weaponry that can take out a single person in a matter of seconds, are being systematically eliminated by incapacitation. They are assumed to be dumped into Medic's care for months at a time, but he's been very busy synthesizing Medigun shields and teaching (and messing with) Kurisu over the months. Characters have also started falling into comas after suffering [[BoomHeadshot headshots]].
307* DidIMentionItsChristmas: Op/Res episode 3, set on Dec. 13-15, 2013. Despite scenes where some of the mercs wear Christmas / Smissmas stuff as in ss07's Christmas specials, the Fugitive has Scout and [=FemScout=] put their holiday stuff away and go back to their regular outfits before the battle against an Opposition member, and even then it's not obvious that it's [[ExposedToTheelements quite chilly]] at certain places. Mami and Madoka are also seen in a decorated mall at one point.
308* DigitizedSprites: A retro low-res effect is used on the time screw portal, the electric zap, and the inhibitor smoke during the {{Retraux}} flashback in Op/Res 3 of the previous episode's battle against Rena.
309* DimensionalTraveler
310** Anyone using the time screw teleports, willingly or unwillingly.
311** Soldier with his glitchy-teleporting Tux penguin.
312** Anyone using the [[WhiteVoidRoom black voids]] [[VoidBetweenTheWorlds Between the Worlds]] for travel between areas, including what was initially believed to be a variant of game-jumping.
313* DistaffCounterpart: Female Scout ("[=FemScout=]"), who replaces, and later works alongside, regular Scout.
314* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Non-sexual examples occur in episodes 4 and 5. There seems to be a lot of talk about the characters going to either an event or a weekend gathering... [[VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory Hmm...]]
315* DoomedByCanon: One of the blue-striped candy cane-like swords held by an antagonist must be acquired and given to Lisbeth for the Holiday short 2014.
316* DoppelgangerCrossover: This common occurrence in the ss07 series is conversed in Op/Res 3.
317-> '''Fugitive:''' [[ConversationalTroping Nothing's stopping you from meeting up with someone who sounds exactly just like you, apparently.]]
318* DownerBeginning:
319** Op/Res 3 begins with a clip from ''inhibitor filler'' ep 22 [[StealthPun "unclear and persistent dangers"]], where Homura breaks down pleading to the fugitive via inhibitor that he has people who care about him.
320** Op/Res 5 begins with two characters getting sent into comas by sustaining headshots at an [[RealPlaceBackground actual real-life location]].
321* {{Dramatization}}: Of a heavily fictionalized nature with "InspiredBy" elements, of the "lot of stuff was changed to make it less boring" kind. Unfortunately, reality is slowly leaking into Op/Res land.
322* TheDreaded: Opposition Member #7.
323* DroppedABridgeOnHim: At ''Op/Res''[='=]s cancellation, the mystery assassin had taken out Heavy, Sniper, [[spoiler:Soldier]], [[spoiler:Pyro]], [[spoiler:Demoman]], [[spoiler:Kyoko]], [[spoiler:BGS]], and [[spoiler:Medic]].
324* DualWielding:
325** In ep 2, Sayaka defeats Rena with her sword and Rena's cleaver in a manner suggesting HalfTheManHeUsedToBe.
326** In ep 6, Hostile member Stocking uses this to defend against a sudden attack by Opposition member Strength, and to strike against Ellis and Kurisu.
327* DudeLooksLikeALady: One of the new characters in Op/Res 3. This character is Nagisa Hazuki, the dude who tackles Homura and was introduced as part of the plot shakeups. This is due to [[CynicismCatalyst a critical meetup not occurring during [5161814],]] only for it to happen during overtime six months later.
328* DwindlingParty: One of the early ideas for Op/Res at first. As of episode 7's ending, there are only [[spoiler:three]] members left in the Codename Fortress division, not including [=FemScout=].
329* DynamicEntry: A time-screw causes Nagisa H. to (accidentally) tackle Homura in Op/Res 3.

332
333[[folder:Opposition/Resurrection E-G]]
334
335* EarlyBirdCameo:
336** [[Manga/LuckyStar Yutaka]] first appears in the Op/Res episode 4 novel before getting a main role in the novels for eps 7 and 8.
337** In ep 7 proper, there's a gasmasked officer with a hexagonal mask filter, as well as [[Franchise/KagerouProject an orange-haired idol who seems to be able to draw everyone to her attention]]. The latter's importance could not be established before Op/Res was cancelled.
338** [[Franchise/LoveLive A blue-haired girl with a red-and-blue ribbon and plaid skirt]] was put into a partial chapter released on Feb. 4, 2016 because of a local theatre screening that evening. That day was "Day 96" of a 243-day break that ran from Nov. 1, 2015-June 30, 2016. The girl was meant to appear in later chapters, likely taking place in Oct. 2015, before ''Op/Res'' got cancelled.
339* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness:
340** Op/Res had quick story events that were not as elaborate as the ones in following episodes.
341** The title logo had slightly off-parallel text before it was fixed for the Christmas short and ep 3 onward.
342** The fugitive's manner of speaking in Op/Res 1 and saying he "was willing to appreciate ''characters''" instead of "people" was due to this. The mention, however, is relayed as something he ([[AlterEgoActing or Jack]]) said "a long time ago". This script has been fixed in the remake.
343* EccentricMentor: This results in many a StudentAndMasterTeam.
344** Engineer to Mami, though they don't combine their MoreDakka tactics until Op/Res 4.
345** Medic. Though he's a mad scientist, he allows a particular someone else like Kurisu to use his Vaccinator, presumably due to its entry-level healing compared to the Ubercharge-inducing regular Medigun... after testing it on her. Medic's so crazy, he even tried to use the regular Medigun on Kurisu in Op/Res 4... but [[EvenEvilHasStandards cuts the Ubercharge off early after seeing her reaction]].
346* ElectronicTelepathy: As in ''CODE RED'', the mental inhibitors run on this when someone stands near one or taps or [[WrenchWhack hits it]] with a search query in mind, however (in)accurate the results may be.
347* ElegantGothicLolita:
348** Op/Res 3 and 5 feature Lumina and Misa... which speaks enough about what some of the eponymous "excessive rotations" may include.
349** Op/Res 5 and 6 introduce Stocking, a hostile runaway.
350* EnemyMine:
351** A villainous example. Seven characters, [[AdaptationalVillainy some of whom are actually protagonists in their source material]], work together because they hate the Fugitive so much they want him dead.
352** With the [5161814] loophole's aftereffects, more "fictional counterparts" who are part of a new antagonist group known as the Hostiles. These people (allegedly) want to literally remove the Fugitive from their lives and have been in the works since June 2014's announcement in the Otafest debriefings REDUX blogs.
353* EnemyRisingBehind: Occurs quickly near the end of ep 2 as the just-uncloaked Spy shallowly slashes Rena's back.
354* EnergyBow: Madoka's weapon. In ep 2, she even confidently tries to use it against the Death Star II, as if she were, [[LateArrivalSpoiler well...]]
355* EpisodeZeroTheBeginning: ''inhibitor filler'' episodes 26-30 have been rereleased as the "episode 0" prelude.
356* EstablishingCharacterMoment:
357** Occurs with the first two Opposition members as soon as they are introduced onscreen. Member #1 (Rena) is [[{{Flanderization}} way more evil than she's supposed to be]], and member #2 (BRS) is [[TokenGoodTeammate a bit more lenient than she's supposed to be]].
358** At the end of ep 3, Serah slaps Homura. That's [[RealLifeWritesThePlot a sign of hostility toward the protagonist team]] right there. Also, former cyberbully leader Neru Akita returns, leading the memetic spacesuit protesters. Looks like Neru's back to being a troll cyberbully leading troll cyberbullies.
359** Strength's power is established when she pounds Ellis nearly to death in ep 6.
360* EstablishingSeriesMoment: A mental inhibitor machine is irreparably slashed, the CODE RED mercenaries are slowly being incapacitated, and an unseen BigBad with a stolen sword may be behind all this. In fact, the Opposition members we see use weaponry that doesn't belong to them. There's the threat of being forcefully zapped and teleported out at any time or untransformed, leading to several characters showing up to try to help and take the battles away from the inhibitor rooms.
361* EvenEvilHasStandards: In Op/Res 4, Medic turns off his Ubercharge from Kurisu after she clutches her chest.
362* EverybodyCallsHimBarkeep: Only the Codename Fortress mercs are referred to as Scout, Engineer, Spy, etc. [[MetaFic even by a fugitive who would know most of their real names.]]
363* EvilCostumeSwitch: Downplayed by association. Yutaka is zapped by the inhibitors and unwittingly becomes Opposition Member #5, along with a PaletteSwap that [[ActorAllusion turns her clothing colors into those of Nia's]].
364* EvilOnlyHasToWinOnce: The commanding Fugitive, marked for death by the Opposition, is unarmed and keeps himself hidden away for this reason.
365* EvilPlan: The Opposition wants the fugitive dead and its members will incapacitate anyone in their way.
366* EvolvingCredits:
367** To avoid TrailersAlwaysSpoil and follow the idea of the ''Scott Pilgrim'' color rereleases' back covers, the opening showed split-second appearances of each Opposition member ''after'' they are introduced, where the numbers 1-7 appear onscreen. Defeated members are put into silhouette. This went unfinished when Op/Res became web novels.
368** After Spy loses his PDA to Sniper during a feigned death against Rena in ep 2, ep 3's opening shows Spy with his Ambassador revolver.
369** Coincidentally, after Homura cosplayers were met with during [5161814], since ep 3, Homura does not fade away before the Fugitive appears in the opening. Instead, the Fugitive appears behind Madoka and Homura.
370** Scout would've gained a place in the titles alongside [=FemScout=] in Op/Res 4.
371* ExplainExplainOhCrap: In Op/Res 6, the Fugitive has this moment when Madoka begins to freak out during one of his debriefings about how Stocking's swords are effective against angels, demons, and ghosts.
372* ExplosiveOverclocking: Inhibitor #2 has emitted a glowing slash across its monitor, and an everlasting smoke plume off the top of the machine. It has even let off electric bolts that led to weirder and weirder things. The inhibitor still hasn't blown up even at such a critical state, because the demonic(?) force field preventing [[PercussiveMaintenance repairs]] is also [[ContainmentField holding the inhibitor together]].
373* ExposedToTheElements
374** [=FemScout=] wears only a scarf with her regular shirt and skirt as her compulsory holiday outfit in the Op/Res Christmas short and episode 3 [[SerendipityWritesThePlot because her body shape clips through everything else]].
375** Black Rock Shooter in Op/Res ep 3, although this is {{downplayed|Trope}} as the places she visits are not snow-covered.
376** Same episode: Nagisa Hazuki; downplayed once again in a place that's not snow-covered. Lampshaded a few times such as in the Op/Res 4 web novel:
377-> He was in the same outfit with the green headdress he wore [in Op/Res 3], though didn't find himself shivering in it this time.
378* ExtraStrengthMasquerade: An Op/Res 5 flashback has Asuna getting her outfit and sword in the mail and then proceeding to [[RealitySubtext host a panel at an event]] where she retells what happened [[LightNovel/SwordArtOnline in two virtual-reality MMORPGs]] from her perspective. But she lies about the years they took place ''and nobody questions it.'' Yet, since the event could very well be [[VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory a certain "local gathering"]] in an alternate universe, no one would question someone going as an anime character who's retelling her experiences.
379* EyeAmWatchingYou:
380** Neru, Opposition Member #3, is introduced doing this gesture in Op/Res 3... which was released [[AccidentallyAccurate coincidentally]] just before Sniper gets this taunt in ''Team Fortress 2''.
381** Sniper anachronistically does this gesture during a flashback in Op/Res 5 (set a month before the Love and War Update's release).
382* FaceHeelTurn
383** In ep 2, Sayaka almost completes one into a PsychoPartyMember before Opposition member #2 depowers and incapacitates her. ...This pretty much foreshadowed that the Opposition is not fighting alongside characters who went Hostile, [[FridgeBrilliance and Sayaka almost did go hostile.]]
384** Said Opposition member is Black Rock Shooter. She used to help the mercs during the ''CODE RED'' finale. Do NOT tell Heavy about her; he's not gonna like the fact that she turned.
385** Facebook posts discovered on March 6, 2015 led Jack to the decision to turn several characters against the Resurrection Movement in planned episodes, including [[spoiler:Elsa and Kyoko]]. Well, at least they won't join [[TheDreaded the Opposition]]. Conversely, he promised that Mami, Homura, and Black Gold Saw [[ExactWords would not defect to the Opposition or turn Hostile]], either.
386* FacePalm:
387** In Op/Res 2, Sayaka apparently can't stand distracted-Rena's cutesy taking-things-home personality.
388** In Op/Res 4, Mami also facepalms when a nostalgic childhood song plays on the inhibitors.
389* FacelessGoons:
390** The spacesuit-wearing protesters in Op/Res 3 and 4.
391** The Time Police officers in later episodes.
392* {{Fainting}}: Homura passes out from NeverTheSelvesShallMeet-induced exhaustion near the end of Op/Res 3.
393* FakeShemp / StockFootage: : A staple for the ss07 mashups is using voice lines from existing source material. Op/Res is no exception.
394* FakingTheDead / FauxDeath:
395** Spy with his Dead Ringer watch. See Decoy Getaway above.
396** Scout is implied, during Op/Res 4's prologue, to have gone back to wearing his Aperture potato helmet and arm wrap from the time he was first incapacitated.
397* FaustianRebellion: The Fugitive, the commander of the Resurrection Movement, given the reveal that [[spoiler:a nightmare mistress tried to kill him after he made a deal with her]]. He has no weapons of his own, though he is a persuasive [[MysteriousEmployer Mysterious Recruiter]].
398* FirstLawOfResurrection: Not quite through the YTP Theory of Death from early mashups, but Scout does return some time after becoming incapacitated in the Op/Res prelude. Later, Pyro and Demoman get incapacitated a second time and are soon relegated to medical duty for safety reasons.
399* FishOutOfTemporalWater: A staple of the superslinger2007 series. In general, the characters seem to have been ripped out of time; they were likely pulled from their own series' respective time periods, albeit using BroadStrokes mentalities. This may explain in-universe why some characters still wear their school uniforms or magical girl outfits as if they were ripped from midseries or mid-''Rebellion''. Being pulled out of time may also explain why the ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' mercs from the mid-60s remain fit for duty during and after ''CODE RED'', although there is still a game-jumping variation involved.
400* FlareGun: Pyro is heard firing the Detonator towards the sky in episode 1 (and in a recording heard in ep 3), while thinking he's sending the Balloonicorn off with a bubble stream to get help.
401* {{Flashback}}:
402** Episodes 3, 5, and 6 have the inhibitor's flashback "archive" HowWeGotHere sequences.
403** In ep 3, second-Homura has a brief flashback to a winter cityscape with a trail of blood. The flashback's events are elaborated on in episode 5.
404--> How could you...? ''(echoing)''
405** During the battle, there is a flashback to when Heavy and Black Rock Shooter saw Miku herself after they worked together in the CODE RED finale.
406** Second-Homura has more flashbacks in eps 5 and 6 that reveal her backstory of how she came to be [[spoiler:a separate being]].
407* FlashbackEcho:
408** Type 2: In ep 3. Why shouldn't the team tell Heavy about Ms. Black Rock again? Because they both remember the time they used to work together when Miku revealed herself in the ''CODE RED'' finale.
409** Type 4:
410*** Also in ep 3: Lumina pulls up an audio recording on the inhibitors of the fugitive claiming that society had something against him (This is a '''real-life''' suicide-propaganda blog from 2012!) and triggers the second-Homura's aforementioned brief flashback to the Fugitive's suicide in 2012A, which is revisited in ep 5.
411*** In ep 5, the second-Homura gets another flashback to 2012B, when Asuna found out her sword got stolen after presenting a panel.
412*** In ep 6, the second-Homura finds the Fugitive's confession about his deal with a devil and flashes back to when he was murdered and when she attacked Lisbeth, got caught by a TimePolice officer, and later prevented the murder without attacking Lisbeth.
413** Type 5: In ep 5 (novel), the second-Homura sees Engineer's witness interview with the Combine Metropolice and flashes back to when she alerted the authorities about a certain man's suicide in 2012B. The authorities happened to bring in the Metropolice.
414* FlashbackEffects:
415** Minecraft's portal sound ([[FlashbackBackBack due to its eerie echo]]) and a wavy screen are used to begin episode 3's flashback sequence.
416** Second-Homura's brief flashback memory with the trail of blood also has an echoed audio effect.
417* FlashbackWithTheOtherDarrin: In episode 3, there is a flashback to the time Heavy and Black Rock Shooter helped destroy the green onion missiles so that Miku can reveal herself during ''CODE RED''. However, the 3D model used for Black Rock Shooter is the new one used for Op/Res rather than the original one used for ''CODE RED''.
418* FlashStep: Homura can whoosh away with a turn of her shield. It appears to be more effective and less noisy compared to other teleportation methods. But the real reason is a LateArrivalSpoiler.
419** Second-Homura can use this too... [[MundaneUtility and starts by putting some of Heavy's chocolate in front of Kyoko.]]
420* ForegoneConclusion: Even though Engineer gets sent into a coma when an assassin headshots him in episode 5, he is alive and well after the events of episode 6 because of his appearance in the Holiday short 2014.
421* {{Foreshadowing}}:
422** In ep 2, characters like Chariot and Maid Gunner show up... Then their originating series' namesake character, Black Rock Shooter, is revealed to be an Opposition member.
423** At the end of ep 2, The Fugitive tells the team, "Do not tell Heavy about [[SuddenSequelHeelSyndrome Ms. Black Rock [Shooter[=]=]]]". In ep 3, Heavy became involved anyway.
424** Ep 2 had Homura remembering a blood-spotted snow-covered city area. Ep 3's flashbacks have some characters meet up at an outdoor fountain. In ep 5, this is revealed to be [[spoiler:the same fountain the Fugitive [[DrivenToSuicide bled to death]] at during an AlternateTimeline]].
425** In ep 3 proper, The Fugitive mentions he was "almost [killed]" around December 15, 2012. Then Asuna and Kirito's "Missing Lambent Light" poster states that the sword is connected to a December 16, 2012 homicide attempt. Lambent Light's original blacksmith, Lisbeth, is also mentioned on the poster, and with [[Creator/SarahWilliams her dub actress also voicing Sayaka]], Lisbeth was bound to make an appearance, starting with the Holiday short 2014.
426** Also in ep 3, cameo appearances made by [[IdenticalStranger chaotic doppelganger]] [[VideoGame/LightningReturnsFinalFantasyXIII Lumina]] and [[ActorAllusion Japanese sound-alike]] [[Manga/KOn Tsumugi]] foreshadow the arrival of [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII Serah]] herself. Tsumugi [[VoicesAreMental did speak in Serah's voice]] in the CODE RED finale, though.
427** Misa first-handedly sees some spacesuit-wearing protesters in Op/Res ep 3's ending. This is alluded to later at the end of ep 5 when [[spoiler:she and Light get to use a Death Note on one of them]]. Admittedly an example of ThrowTheDogABone, given what happened with Misa during ep 5.
428** At the end of ep 3, Second-Homura is listening to an audio recording where The Fugitive claims there is a breather from people with something against him.[[note]]From a '''real-life''' "fatal decision" blog, where Jack was under the paranoid belief that people had something against him.[[/note]] This hints that there will be characters who may have something against him, as promised by the plot shakeups.
429** At the end of ep 4, the Fugitive [[BerserkButton getting angry about]] the "candy cane sword" foreshadows the end of ep 5.
430** Ep 6:
431--> Mami began to worry that [the Fugitive] might take his anger out on her next... but when?
432** Ep 7, which may be HarsherInHindsight due to the Anti-Fugitive Pact:
433--> "Please don't fight with Mami," begged Madoka. "It'll be a lot safer for everyone."
434* FourIsDeath: Op/Res episode 6 takes place on December ''4'', 2014, a day that actual grudges and mood swings happened. See RealLifeWritesThePlot below.
435* FourthWallPsych: Inverted. Op/Res 3 turns the idea of "having cosplay characters wave at the camera" around by having a character notice someone who is waving at them, first with Mako toward Engineer, and then with Misa toward Konata's group.
436* FreezeFrameBonus:
437** The opening quickly lists the words [[ArcWords "unverified, allied, nameless, distant, misaligned, feared, unknown"]] as the Opposition member numbers are shown.
438** Slenderman being teleported around, Homura smiling to herself (ep 1)
439** Homura later clenching her fist (ep 2, 3)
440** candy cane striped-jars of Jarate (Xmas)
441** the Vaccinator medigun in the background, and [[ContinuityNod a Sandvich]] and a Sapper wrapped with the same wrapping paper (Xmas, ep 3).
442** Ellis walks behind Miku and Sniper, and [Sasha (not the gun) is seen holding a piece of paper with [[CreatorInJoke a hand-drawn clock]] on it.... (ep 3 flashbacks)
443** The Lambent Light illustration was apparently done by Asuna herself, as there is a signature with a little heart located right by the hilt. (ep 3, ep 5)
444* FriendlySniper
445** Sniper returns from CODE RED along with his "princess".
446** Arguably the maid with the big gun (she's named Maid Gunner) who's forcefully teleported away before she can do anything.
447* FriendlyTarget: Resurrection Movement
448* FullNameBasis: The Fugitive calls Mami Tomoe by her full name because Jack finds it uncomfortable to say Mami's given name by itself.
449* FunnyBackgroundEvent:
450** In a flashback during Op/Res 3, Ellis walks by Miku and Sniper.
451** Near the end of that episode, a Dalek passes by near the inhibitor-watching group.
452** Some Op/Res novels continued to have random characters standing around in the background. The novels point these out in the text.
453* GainaxEnding: Plans are in the works to make the Op/Res ending really screwy or at least have TrippyFinaleSyndrome, according to Twitter laments made during preparation for 2015's '''code51515''' convention outing. This may instead transfer into the remake.
454* GameplayAndStoryIntegration:
455** Ep 1 and 2: Flying Guillotine cleavers, a type of [=TF2=] weapon, are pulled from hammerspace.
456** For ep 2, [=FemScout=] uses a Shortstop after drinking Bonk because the Lugermorph, as seen in filler ep30, cannot be used alongside Bonk.
457** There appears to be a voluntary ban on four item sets that now produce a [[http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Calling_card calling card tombstone]]. The items, including Scout's Shortstop, are buried in a 2Fort courtyard with the tombstones as markers. This implied a ForbiddenChekhovsGun, though.
458* GameplayAndStorySegregation:
459** In ep 2, Spy is heard picking up some ammo offscreen while using the Dead Ringer cloak. This allowed him to extend his invisibility time by a few seconds, and used to apply to ''[=TF2=]'' before July 2, 2015.
460** In episodes 2 and 6, Spy is implied to have both his Cloak and Dagger and Dead Ringer watches at the same time.
461** In the Christmas shorts, like the ones before Op/Res's, the mercs are seen wearing items in ways impossible in-game. They may be seen with four cosmetic items at a time, when the game allows up to three.
462** Op/Res 3 flashbacks: MONOCULUS does not have the ghostly translucent form that he has if he was actually summoned by a spell at Helltower.
463** Op/Res 3: Scout performs the taunt for the Sandman/Atomizer and the one for other bats while holding a singular weapon type (the Maneuver Gear blades from ''Attack on Titan''). Then again, in ''CODE RED'', he did send Neru flying across her room with his regular bat and not the Sandman.
464** Op/Res 6: As a CallBack to ''CODE RED'', Scout hits a baseball at someone with his regular aluminum bat.
465* GasMaskMooks: The TimePolice in Op/Res, who may be a Combine CP remnant from the CODE RED finale novel's epilogue.
466* GenreThrowback: A SNES cover of the ''Tekken 5 DR'' theme this series uses would have been featured in the video version of Op/Res episode 4, an episode that deals with NostalgiaFilter.
467* TheGhost: Downplayed. The nightmare mistress mentioned in episode 5 (who almost murders the man who becomes the Fugitive in an episode 6 flashback) is seen by both Homuras, but neither can discern her appearance clearly. The only detail they can see properly is a black frilly dress.
468* GirlWithPsychoWeapon: The first two Opposition members, offset by the fact that the second one also has Sakura's wand. Opposition Member #3 also brings her ImprobableAimingSkills shotgun from the ''CODE RED'' days.
469* TheGlassesGottaGo:
470** Invoked inversion in ep 2; the team does this so Homura can help distract Rena with cuteness.
471** Engineer also gives Mami a pair of (likely) PurelyAestheticGlasses.
472* TheGlomp:
473** {{Enforced}} but {{downplayed|trope}} in ep 3. Medic messes with his spells, and Kurisu is forced to leap over and wrap her arms around his leg. She doesn't like it.
474--> '''Kurisu:''' How did I get stuck doing this with you?!
475** Played straight later in the episode, but the teleport that brought in [[{{Anime/Free}} Nagisa Hazuki]] turns it into an accidental DeadlyLunge against Homura.
476* GoThroughMe: Quiet variation. In ep 2, when Madoka becomes de-transformed from the magical girl form she's been in for a long time, Homura whooshes in to get herself de-transformed as well.
477* TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil:
478** From episodes 4-7, the Resurrection Movement, the Hostiles, and the Opposition.
479** Episode 8 would have had a proposed alignment involving a split Resurrection Movement.
480
481[[/folder]]
482
483[[folder:Opposition/Resurrection H-N]]
484
485* HairDecorations:
486** The Holy Quintet girls wearing their decorations are a given; Sayaka changes her hairclips to an "ff" shape when transforming.
487** Lumina wears a replica of Amu Hinamori's X-shaped hairpin. Both characters share [[Creator/KanaeIto the same Japanese voice actress]], which is not reflected in Op/Res 3 otherwise. It was planned for Lumina to wear [[WesternAnimation/TheLegoMovie a blocky unicorn/kitty-shaped]] hairpin before ''Op/Res'' got cancelled.
488** Yutaka's hair ribbons go into asymmetrical colors to [[DoppelgangerCrossover represent the two characters whose personalities she acquires]] as a result of mental inhibitor interference.
489* {{Hammerspace}}: In eps 1 and 2, infinitely spawning Flying Guillotine cleavers seem to be pulled from behind the back.
490* HandWave: Flimsy story explanations include:
491** Ep 1: A medkit is seen beside Pyro because the gash on Pyro's arm, from being incapped by Rena, has disappeared by the time Sniper calls Kyoko.
492** Ep 2: "But I don't know why [Rena] hasn't taken out any more of us this past month."
493** Ep 3: The Fugitive mentions "speaker upgrades" in a flashback to explain why the audio quality on the {{Shoe Phone}}s improved in episode 2. He is also overheard by Konata stating that "Until Ms. Black Rock attacks us," the team is "free to go wherever--".
494** Ep 6: The Fugitive tells the team that they are free to go wherever they want again, but they must report any trouble.
495* HanlonsRazor: Completely averted as far as the Fugitive character is concerned. Even episode 5's title, "Apathy means hostility", seems to indicate that escapee character fictional counterparts must be treated as [[{{Demonization}} very antagonistic or detrimental to the team]]. On the other hand, it's played straight in real life, several people were "blissfully unaware of the fugitive's presence"... but Jack just doesn't want to agree.
496* HarmlessFreezing: Used to slow down Strength in Op/Res 6 and 7.
497* HatePlague / ThePowerOfHate: In regards to the Opposition and maybe the Hostiles, who are believed to have something against the Fugitive and want him dead.
498* HeWhoMustNotBeSeen:
499** The Fugitive, Op/Res opening sequence notwithstanding. Averted in the remake.
500** Averted with Neru Akita. She loses her tendency to hide herself in ''CODE RED'' as she is revealed to be an Opposition Member in Op/Res 3.
501* HealingFactor:
502** Op/Res 2: Sayaka waves her fingers at her shoulder after Rena throws her cleaver into it.
503** Op/Res 6: Sayaka tries this with [[spoiler:Soldier]] but it doesn't work.
504* HeelFaceDoorSlam: Inverted into a Face Heel Door Slam in Op/Res 7: [[spoiler:Kyoko is convinced there's no point in helping the Resurrection Movement anymore, but gets attacked by the Opposition and sent into a coma before she can attack the team.]]
505* HeelFaceTurn: Because Jack caught up with the two critical [5161814] runaways in code51515, [[spoiler:the Hostiles]] may get epiphanies and turn good. The first signs of this were in ep 7.
506* HeelRealization:
507** In ep 2, Rena gets this upon her defeat, just before she's forcefully teleported "back where she came from".
508--> ''"How did everything get so messed up and weird?"''
509** In ep 3, Black Rock Shooter seemingly gets one enough to be able to {{Suddenly Voice|d}} a response to Heavy's prompt of "Who are you, spy?".
510** In ep 5, Neru gets one when Miku decides not to let one of her green onion missiles blow her up.
511** In ep 7, [[spoiler:even the quiet Strength manages to say something.]]
512* HellishPupils: In eps 1 and 2, Rena constantly had these as a result of her {{Flanderization}} as a well known psychopath in the superslinger2007 series.
513* HeroSecretService: The Resurrection Movement, a group of voluntary peacekeeping bodyguards... which consists of [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 mercenaries]] and [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica magical girls]].
514* HistoryRepeats: The Anti-Fugitive Pact arc would've been this by default due to the Dissociates being compared to a rebooted Opposition.
515* HitchhikerHeroes: Was planned with the appearances of Asuna and the cameos of Yuki and Tsukasa's entourage from CODE RED.
516* {{Hologram}}: The Reanimator devices, assigned to Engineer and Soldier, project their silhouettes.
517* HowWeGotHere:
518** In ep 3, Second-Homura uses the inhibitors to open footage of events from April to December 2013 before we see the team finally take on Opposition Member #2.
519** In ep 5, the team opens a flashback sequence on the inhibitors, set on May 16-18, 2014, in order to look for signs of any candy cane-like swords. The sequence ends with the attack on Sniper and Heavy, which served as the main event in chapter 1.
520** Downplayed in ep 6: The rapid footage montage here generally focuses on a local midway in July 2014 and the events at The Castle on Nov. 29, 2014. This is said to be the last of such montages.
521* IJustWantToHaveFriends / IJustWantToBeSpecial: Deconstructed in regards to the Fugitive and [[spoiler:his deal with a devil]] that led him to become the Resurrection Movement's unseen commander... as well as [[spoiler:make him prone to bouts of anger]]. Recent tweets hint at splinter factions of the RM.
522* ImTakingHerHomeWithMe: Rena's weakness to cute people is exploited as a distraction in ep 2.
523* AnIceSuit: The Op/Res web novels refer to Elsa's outfit as "a flowing crystalline light blue dress".
524* IfYouKillHimYouWillBeJustLikeHim: Played with in ep 2. Sayaka defeats Rena without hesitation, but starts to go psycho anyway.
525* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: The episode titles relate to negative paranoid delusional thoughts and beliefs, and were conceived as far back as 2013 with revisions since then. They would have led to a puzzle.
526* ImmediateSequel:
527** Played straight with ep 5. The prologue takes place on May 17, 2014, one day after ep 4's ending ([[RippedFromTheHeadlines 8:15 am on May 16, 2014]]). The actual events of the episode begin one day further ahead, on the night of May 18.
528** Subverted with ep 6. Its prologue takes place right after ep 5 but there are time skips to [[RealitySubtext October 4]], then to November and December.
529* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: In episodes 1 and 2, Rena couldn't seem to hit most people with Scout's cleavers, though Female Scout did just go into CaffeineBulletTime with some Bonk.
530* ImprobableAimingSkills: Neru Akita's shotgun, last seen in ''CODE RED''. This weapon owned by the third Opposition Member is "really... accurate-- like she's cheating".
531-> Notes from ''CODE RED: the written adaptation'': Neru seemed to have outfitted her shotgun with such a program [an aimbot] because she wanted to show off as an elitist.
532* InconvenientSummons:
533** Slenderman makes his cameo in Op/Res ep 1 in a Time Screw teleport, leading Homura to "poof away" and presumably help him get back.
534** For ep 2, inversions occur. The two maids are forcefully removed from the inhibitor room, and several characters are heard or seen trying to help, but are sent away by the slashed inhibitor's time screws.
535* InspiredBy: Local influence from 2012 to 2016, the time of Op/Res's cancellation. So much so, that reality is slowly leaking into Op/Res land. Plans were made to downplay connections in later episodes due to mental trauma.
536* InstantMysteryJustDeleteScene: In Op/Res 8, the team looks up footage of Yutaka from 2012 (three years before the destroyed Inhibitor 2 gave her two {{Split Personalit|y}}ies). However, they cannot access the second of two surviving clips they find.
537* InTheBack: Proves to be Strength's only weak point.
538* InvoluntaryShapeshifter: Vanellope, while she's outside of her game, is usually forced to switch between three teenage forms and her [[PintSizedKid regular chibi look]]. Becomes downplayed near the end of episode 2, but it happens again in episode 4's web novel.
539* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Two sassy girls, Vanellope and Kyoko, eventually meet in ep 2 in a scene where AdaptationalHeroism makes them friendly to each other. The latter quickly remembers the former has teleport glitch abilities at that moment, probably from spending so much time at the arcades besides DDR-ing.
540* JerkassBall: Due to proposed plot shakeups caused by the events of [5161814].
541** Serah becomes uncharacteristically angry in Op/Res 3, even going so far as to slap Homura in the face and accuse the team of being very horrible.
542** The Hostiles are said to hate the Fugitive so much, they want to remove him from their lives, even if only one of the three has proper weaponry.
543* TheJuggernaut: Strength, Opposition Member #4, is a small one, but just enough to remind Ellis (and Scout) of a Tank.
544* JustEatGilligan: In-universe, the Fugitive is under the impression that 7 people want him dead. Incapacitations in the Resurrection Movement could have been avoided if PoorCommunicationKills was defied and the supposed Opposition could just recognize the fugitive instead of planning to kill him and justifying this delusional fear, thereby forcing the Fugitive to recruit the Resurrection Movement in the first place and then eventually go mad. Of course, this is a what-if story we are talking about here, albeit exaggerated due to {{Creator Breakdown}}s at Op/Res's inception/establishment.
545* KatanasAreJustBetter: Stocking's twin striped-katanas, known as Stripes I and II. They were believed to be "candy cane swords" in Op/Res 4 and 5. One of them is in Sayaka's possession as of Op/Res 6.
546* KickChick / SheFu: In ep 3, there's interventionary character Black Gold Saw, who may have learned those moves from Lili (from ''Tekken''). The interventionary character was not in league with Opposition member Black Rock Shooter despite being from the same series, and is guaranteed not to become an Opposition member or turn hostile, according to the Otafest debriefings REDUX in June 2014.
547* KnightInSourArmor: Homura, who reluctantly accepted the Fugitive's plan in ep 2 to put those glasses on so she and Madoka can distract Rena.
548* KungFoley:
549** Noticeably "whacky" sounds are used in Op/Res 3.
550** Subverted later; when the WhamEpisode moment happens, that slap to the face sounds realistic...
551* LabcoatOfScienceAndMedicine: Medic, Kurisu, and Rintaro.
552* LaughingMad:
553** Rena in ep 2, of course being the ever-{{Flanderiz|ation}}ed psycho she is.
554** Sayaka after defeating this psychopath herself.
555* LeaningOnTheFourthWall:
556** Ep 1: Kyoko saying "You take what you got and figure out how to get something out of it" mirrors the FakeShemp usage of existing lines from source material.
557** Ep 2: The Fugitive refers to "''CODE RED''" as if it were a codename of the 2010-2011 missions rather than the name of the series.
558** Ep 3: A version of Homura that looks different from the one from the regular timeline is seen onscreen in the opening moments. She says the following before [[FlashStep whooshing off]]:
559-->'''Second-Homura:''' I don't care if no one understands.
560** The Resurrection Movement had to wait a long time before they could fight Black Rock Shooter. Episode 3, where it happens, has this after the title card:
561-->'''Heavy:''' Sometimes you must wait in cold anticipation for your enemy.
562** Holiday short 2014 has Vanellope saying this to Soldier, who is dancing with Freddy Fazbear's crew:
563-->'''Vanellope:''' Don't get any ideas, buddy!
564* {{Leitmotif}}: Themes for one series are commonly used for unrelated matters among the mashup crossovers.
565** Aside from returning BGM themes from the time of ''CODE RED'' and ''inhibitor filler'', such as Verdi's "Dies irae", and "There She Is" from ''Portal 2'' for random character meetups...
566** When the Fugitive issues commands, "Almost at Fifty Percent" from ''Portal 2'' is heard, and [[OrphanedSeries that is all we can say about it.]]
567** There is one from "Dead Before Dawn" (''[=L4D2=]''). In Op/Res, it was used for Kurisu's first cameo, and reused for Sasha (not the gun)'s formal introduction.
568** Another "Dead Before Dawn" theme is used when Kurisu is onscreen at the end of both holiday special videos.
569** There is a suspenseful leitmotif from ''Mega Man X2'' used in Op/Res for the stolen Lambent Light sword.
570* LightningCanDoAnything: Inhibitors' electric zaps, comparable to mini lightning strikes, cause time screw teleports.
571* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Even with the initially 14-member Resurrection Movement and the 7-member Opposition, others have shown up to try to assist the team. Now that someone not part of the team can be zapped out at any time, [[AuthorAppeal characters started showing up for the purpose of just showing up]] (MidseasonReplacement details vary). And then, [[ActorAllusion the +involvement thing strikes again]] (see Recycled Script below) as entourages of newly reintroduced characters arrive on the scene.
572* MagneticPlotDevice: Lambent Light, the rapier owned by Asuna, which has been stolen by the Opposition around the time of the homicide attempt. The Resurrection Movement was formed in response.
573* MadScientist:
574** [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 Medic.]]
575** [[VisualNovel/SteinsGate Rintaro Okabe/"Hououin Kyouma"]] has been thrown into the fray, as well.
576* MadeOfExplodium:
577** Miku's [[LateArrivalSpoiler green onion missiles]] in eps 2 and 5.
578** Vanellope's cherry bomb in ep 4, inspired by the ones she uses in ''VideoGame/DisneyInfinity'', which in turn are inspired by those in her originating movie.
579** The [[VideoGame/MarioKart blue shell]] that Engineer uses in ep 5.
580* MagicAIsMagicA: The end of Op/Res 5 shows that Death Notes still work in Op/Res land, where people usually get incapacitated if they receive an otherwise fatal blow.
581* MagicWand: "It's not supposed to do that." [[Manga/CardcaptorSakura Sakura's Sealing Wand]] appears to have been corrupted by a PowerNullifier effect just by being in a Opposition Member's possession. In Op/Res episodes 2 and 3, it was able to detransform the Holy Quintet magical girls by suppressing their magic.
582* MagicalGirl / MagicalGirlWarrior:
583** [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Five of them]] form part of the Resurrection Movement.
584** [[HigurashiNoNakuKoroNi Magical girl!Rika]] appears in a cameo, but gets zapped away before she can properly attack.
585** Even the Opposition gets a dark-gothic-take magical girl in the form of Black Rock Shooter herself. However, she's in false possession of a clashing bright pink [[Manga/CardcaptorSakura Sealing Wand]] that, despite being corrupted, retains its look.
586* MaliciousMisnaming:
587** Rena is always called a psychopath by the Fugitive due to {{Flanderization}} in the ss07 series.
588** As of episode 6 and the Holiday short 2014, the Codename Fortress mercs keep calling Strength a [[VideoGame/Left4Dead Tank]].
589** There was one more in the works before Op/Res's cancellation that was centered around the Anti-Fugitive Pact.
590* TheManBehindTheMonsters: Opposition Member #3, Neru Akita, is the humanoid behind her death-threat-spewing FacelessGoons.
591* ManipulativeEditing: As per the norm in the ss07 series, existing audio lines are rearranged, even if it means having to borrow them from soundalike characters. Even the web novels were written meticulously in terms of character lines, because existing lines must be used.
592* MassiveMultiplayerCrossover: Characters from multitudes of various series are drawn into a conflict.
593* MauveShirt: The Time Police officer with yellow glowing lenses on his gasmask, who was apparently second-in-command to Asahina in Op/Res. Last seen collapsed on the floor after helping some people teleport into Nova Prospekt to rescue other people.
594* {{Meganekko}}:
595** In Op/Res, Mami gets some glasses out of Engineer's Mini-Dispenser. This may be a holdover from real-life encounters, though there's no word on whether they're PurelyAestheticGlasses in Mami's case.
596** Fujii, the RobotMaid.
597* {{Meido}}:
598** Ep 1 features a cameo by a [[RidiculouslyHumanRobots Ridiculously Human]] RobotMaid named Fujii, from a poorly-received MMD-based show. She appears again in episodes 3 and 4 and the Holiday short 2014.
599** In ep 2, Rena, now Opposition Member #1, is seen again in this outfit.
600** Maid Gunner and Tsuruya, [[ThoseTwoGuys those two maids]], also return with [[RealitySubtext new LhSs]] in episodes 2 and 4.
601* MeleeATrois: Strength and Stocking's brief clash in Op/Res 6 implies that the Opposition and the Hostiles have very different ways of trying to end the Resurrection Movement.
602* MemeticPsychopath: Rena was already deemed a psychopath in the ss07 series, and this is taken further by making her [[StarterVillain the first Opposition Member]].
603* MentorOccupationalHazard
604** Subverted with Engineer due to his Reanimator.
605** Played straight with [[spoiler:Medic]].
606* MetaFic: Variation. This is apparently based on actual delusions from 2012-2013 and a large part of it was inspired by the local Otafest convention, even from those years' dark times. Plans are being made to create more distance for mental-trauma reasons, though events in 2015 did not help matters.
607** Lumina even pulls up a '''real-life''' "[[DrivenToSuicide fatal decision]]" audio blog clip in ep 3, and a short vlog/distress message made on May 14, 2014 was reused for Op/Res 4.
608** A WhatIf situation regarding the Fugitive's fatal decision was depicted as an AlternateUniverse event in episode 5.
609* MetaphoricallyTrue: The Fugitive outright tells the team there are 7 people wanting him dead; they shall be called the Opposition. With Op/Res 2's 2nd edition adding some hesitancy in the Fugitive's speech (although it could be he's looking out the window at the sky himself), and the way in Op/Res 3 he almost hid the fact he was almost killed in Dec. 2012, the Fugitive seems to have more things to hide.
610* MexicanStandoff: An implied variation in Op/Res ep 3 between Heavy and Black Rock Shooter, who both have their guns at the ready, against each other. Second-Homura [[BaitAndSwitchGunshot whooshes in with a super-loud gunshot]] and takes out Black Rock Shooter.
611* MildlyMilitary: The Resurrection Movement, despite mostly consisting of mercenaries with military-grade weapons.
612* MissingTrailerScene: The teaser for episode 3, made in Dec. 2013, has a scene specifically made for it, to serve as an introduction to [[MyFutureSelfAndMe a second Homura]]. However, there were similar camera angles and poses for the Homura of this timeline in the episode's conclusion.
613* MissionControl: Fugitive.
614** However, he almost blurted out that he "was almost [killed]" around Dec. 15, 2012 and [[CannotSpitItOut quickly declares he "[doesn't] want to talk about it"]], implying [[MissionControlIsOffItsMeds he doesn't want the Resurrection Movement to know]] what exactly happened during the homicide attempt that was mentioned on Asuna's poster.
615* MissionControlIsOffItsMeds: The Fugitive first loses it at the end of Op/Res 5. At the end of Op/Res 7, [[spoiler:he slips briefly into a dark mood swing once more]]. See also Berserk Button above.
616* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: [[InvertedTrope An inversion of this trope]] focused on the Resurrection Movement was in the works and still may be now that ''Opposed!'' is being made.
617* ModestyShorts: Sayaka appears to have black shorts under her skirt while seen breakdancing in an Op/Res 3 flashback.
618* {{Mooks}}:
619** A group of [[VideoGame/MoonbaseAlpha spacesuit-wearing protesters]], led by Opposition member #3, which turn out to be more of a GoldfishPoopGang that throws around death threats because of their "aeiou" verbal tics.
620** The TimePolice, consisting of the [[VideoGame/HalfLife2 Combine's Civil Protection officers]], would be EliteMooks compared to the spacesuit men, but are still easily taken out by anyone.
621* MookLieutenant: The gasmasked Time Police officer with glowing yellow lenses.
622* MoreDakka:
623** If there was a way to concentrate this using only a pistol... ''and'' time-stopping powers, episode 3 first shows how. ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill, after all. It's like when Kyubey was riddled with bullet holes.
624** Despite running parallels to Engineer's "more gun" advice as far back as ''inhibitor filler'' ep 2, Mami doesn't get to summon a cloud of muskets until the end of Op/Res 4 alongside Engineer's Sentry Gun.
625** Mami does it again in episodes 5 and 6, and even [[TeethClenchedTeamwork lets Homura fire off a few]] for some reason in the former. [[spoiler:She eventually uses a Tiro Finale in Op/Res 7.]]
626* MorphicResonance: Happens to Yutaka when the inhibitors zap her hair and clothes.
627* MrExposition: The Fugitive himself in both Op/Res and the Opposed! remake.
628* [[MysteriousEmployer Mysterious Recruiter]]: The fugitive, who has gotten together several mercenaries and magical girls to protect him from a group of seven who want him dead. However, he appears in the opening title sequence as a Lego caricature.
629* MyFutureSelfAndMe: Homura Akemi has an alternate BadFuture version of herself known as Second-Homura in the Op/Res web novels ([[RealitySubtext stemming from a [5161814] (May 2014) cosplay segment]]) and nicknamed [[VideoGame/TimeAndEternity Towa]] in the ''Opposed!'' remake. It is even conversed with some RealitySubtext, given what Op/Res was inspired by in the first place.
630-> '''Fugitive:''' I'm open to the idea of [[DistaffCounterpart there being someone dressed up]] in [[{{Cosplay}} the same exact outfit as you are]], but for there to be actually ''two'' of '''you''' at the same time, that's kinda, well...
631* MyGreatestFailure: In flashbacks that were moved to ep 6 due to pacing, the girl who would become second-Homura witnessed the Fugitive's death. She called the authorities, but then saw him get murdered with a stolen sword the next day. So she attacked the blacksmith who made the sword in another timeline, causing said authorities to attack second-Homura and change her appearance. So she waited it out, left the blacksmith alone, and stopped the murder in her own way. Granted, it's to keep Madoka happy that the Fugitive is alive, because Homura and the second-Homura are both concerned about his well-being.
632* MyGreatestSecondChance: And now the would-be murderer has organized the Opposition, so the second-Homura seems to be devoted to the Fugitive in stopping this threat, even if it wipes her from the Op/Res timeline.
633* MythologyGag:
634** The Fugitive says "Go ahead, do whatever" at the end of Op/Res 2.
635** There have been a multitude of characters waving, especially in the NOV 30 2013 flashback in Op/Res 3.
636** The old dark-times idea of "two [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII Serahs]] running around" was played with in Op/Res 3. Lumina makes an appearance, given that she's an IdenticalStranger. Later, Serah herself appears under less favourable circumstances.
637** Black Rock Shooter, Second-Homura, and Sasha (not the gun) are seen saluting to the camera in some way or another.
638** During Op/Res 5 (the web novel)'s flashback montage, Squid Girl introduces herself while "Gonna Make You Sweat" plays during the clip. This refers to the ''inhibitor filler'' episode "august 4 total corruption" and, by extension, the respective cosplayer implied.
639** and [[OrphanedSeries that is all we can say about it]].
640* NameOrderConfusion: Western order (given-name then family-name) is used here. This even goes for ''VisualNovel/SteinsGate'' characters, despite its dub sticking with Japanese name order. In that case, a FirstNameBasis may be used. Exceptions:
641** The Black Rock Shooter 2012 anime composer's name (Hideharu Mori) was credited in Japanese order before November 2014 due to [[ChristmasRushed rushed production]] for Op/Res 2 and 3. The correction was finally released alongside Op/Res 3's own 2nd Edition.
642** The nickname "Hououin Kyouma" is kept as such due to the dub and a specific autograph from [5161814]: overtime.
643* NamesTheSame:
644** Mercilessly {{invoked|Trope}} in episode 3's flashback sequence, [[AnachronismStew anachronistically]]. ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' may have its own MONOCULUS character, but Fang is in a group ''also'' named Monoculus in ''VideoGame/LightningReturnsFinalFantasyXIII''. [[InspiredBy Fang's cameo was because she was a cosplay character sighted in May 2013]] ''and'' during [5161814] in May 2014.
645** {{Invoked|Trope}} again in the same episode. Heavy has a friend named Sasha. And not just the gun, because there's a [[Manga/AttackOnTitan titan-fighting girl also named Sasha known for eating potatoes]]. However, this became an AbortedArc in ''Op/Res'' with Heavy being shot into a coma.
646** In regards to the [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Holy Quintet girls]] being main characters in Op/Res, the wrong Nagisa shows up. In Op/Res 3, we get a [[{{Anime/Free}} dude from a swim club]] instead of Mami's Rebellion partner.
647* TheNamesake:
648** Ep 1: Engie and Madoka are referred to as part of a Resurrection Movement. The name is brought up again in ep 3.
649** Ep 2: The team is told that Rena is Opposition member #1 and that The Opposition consists of people who want the fugitive dead.
650* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Invoked.
651** The Opposition, seven people who want someone dead. Named as such by the Fugitive.
652-->'''Fugitive:''' There really are seven people who want me dead. They shall be known as The Opposition.
653** The so-called Fugitive himself, a man at the other end of the comm lines who has something to hide. He is not referred to as such by anyone, though.
654** The Hostiles are even name-dropped by the Fugitive himself in ep 6.
655* NamesToTrustImmediately: Resurrection Movement, the other invoked example, a life-protecting group for a Fugitive who tried to commit suicide before.
656* NarrowedItDownToTheGuyIRecognize: Variation. Several particular characters show up as either Opposition Members or other cameo characters. And with Jack's promise in 2014 that NothingIsTheSameAnymore, especially after the real-life [5161814] mission and Serah slapping Homura in the face after the battle, '''[[OOCIsSeriousBusiness this does not look good at all]]'''.
657* {{Nerf}}:
658** In ep 2, Kyoko's VariableLengthChain spear essentially became glued shut when she needed it the most. This comes back to bite her in ep 5.
659** Not outright stated, but Mami prefers to summon muskets instead of using her more versatile ribbon powers in Op/Res.
660* NeverLiveItDown
661** Second-Homura witnessed the Fugitive's attempted (successful) suicide in one timeline, compelling her to take out the Opposition before the Fugitive actually dies in this timeline.
662** After Op/Res ep 3's battle, [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII Serah Farron]] slapping [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Homura]]. ...Without her gloves on. This reveal even got a screenshot in the Otafest debriefings REDUX in June 2014 because it was inspired by [[RewindReplayRepeat that infamous May 14, 2012 newscast]]. The events of [5161814]: overtime and code51515 would've reduced the severity of this negative influence.
663** Ms. Farron and two other characters are called "hostiles" by the Fugitive. They are [[CreatorBreakdown based on a biased ideology]] of allowing some people become TheOneThatGotAway in a manner of CantGetAwayWithNuthin in May 2014. Jack finally resolved this issue during code51515 with a few lucky meetups; this had yet to affect the story before it was cancelled and remade.
664* NeverTheSelvesShallMeet:
665** Downplayed. Early on in ep 3, Homura begins to have a headache after locking eyes with her temporal doppelganger. At the end of the episode, Homura passes out from seeing her again. Admittedly, she did just get glomp-tackled to the ground by accident.
666** This no longer affects Homura by Op/Res 5. [[MyFutureSelfAndMe She and her doppelganger]] spin around back to back during her TransformationSequence.
667* NobodyCanDie / NonLethalKO: Characters, Resurrection Movement and Opposition alike, have been incapacitated or defeated by life-threatening attacks, including a DualWielding slash to the chest in ep 2, a {{BFG}} blast in eps 2 and 3, a [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill super-loud gunshot]] in ep 3, and [[BoomHeadshot headshots]] starting with episode 5. Defeated Opposition members are then banished "back where [they] came from" by a time screw teleport.
668** There is only one real death in Op/Res, and it's [[spoiler:one of the spacesuit-wearing protesters]] at the end of Op/Res 5 because [[spoiler:someone used a Death Note on him]].
669* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Strength puts Ellis through this in Op/Res 6, and [[spoiler:Kyoko]] in Op/Res 7.
670* NonIndicativeName: There are blue and white-striped katanas that were called "candy cane swords" all because Pyro likely saw them as blue candy canes under his Pyrovision.
671* NonStandardCharacterDesign:
672** [[VideoGame/LightningReturnsFinalFantasyXIII Lumina]] in ep 3 compared to the other anime-styled or cartoon-styled characters. [[SerendipityWritesThePlot There is no available anime-styled 3D model of this character]], so she appears [[UncannyValley a bit too realistic]] compared to the other characters. Measures have been taken to mitigate any odd tendencies by continuing to use smooth motions, and avoiding moments where she's perfectly still for too long.
673** The Fugitive, as seen in the opening, appears to be a Lego caricature. This will be changed for the 2017 remake, ''Opposed!''.
674** Some characters have been shifted ''into'' an anime-style look for Op/Res. Aside from Vanellope's involuntary teenage forms, there are characters from the ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII'' trilogy.
675* NoPronunciationGuide: Averted in the Op/Res web novels for [[Franchise/KagerouProject Ené]], whose name is given an accent over the second E, just like with the series name "{{Franchise/Pokemon}}".
676* NostalgiaFilter:
677** Op/Res ep 4 is named "Echoes of forbidden nostalgic entities". Neru and her mooks use the Fugitive's childhood and otherwise nostalgic stuff from the 1990s to early 2000s against the Resurrection Movement, who think all that stuff are obstacles in their way. It ranges from ''VideoGame/SuperMarioKart'' to a bunch of children's songs featured in ''[[Creator/TreehouseTV Ants in Your Pants]]'', and the ''VideoGame/HalfLife'' test chamber to the ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'' Bob-Omb Battlefield. ...and [[Creator/TreehouseTV Tansy's flower from the old days]]. There wasn't enough for only one episode, let alone the web novel; a {{recut}} video edition of Op/Res 4 with more nostalgic infections was once considered.
678** Op/Res episode 5 contains more nostalgic infections, including fights taking place in some ''Pokemon'' towns, [[Manga/SailorMoon Chibiusa]] not speaking like herself, and [[spoiler:Anime/DiGiCharat herself making a cameo]].
679* NotHerself:
680** Yutaka, who is zapped by the mental inhibitors and causes her to have a SplitPersonality ([[PaletteSwap with matching hair and clothes]]) containing those of [[DoppelgangerCrossover two characters who sound like her]]. This continued in Op/Res 8.
681** There have been enough clues on social media in mid-2015 just before the code51515 outings to declare that Opposition Member #6 has been subject to this trope. However, said outings led to a positive outcome in regard to that influence. This will be finally shown in the remake.
682* NotSoDifferent: The splinter faction Dissociates were compared to the Opposition, and their leaders were to have swords that don't exactly belong to them: the Opposition has the stolen Lambent Light rapier, while the Dissociates' originator was to have found the Net Persona's old lightsaber.
683* NothingIsTheSameAnymore: The status quo has changed for episodes starting with Op/Res episode 3.
684* NovelizationFirst:
685** Since episode 4, Op/Res was made in text form on the superslinger2007 Jimdo website, much like the ''CODE RED'' mashups' finale in its dedicated Blogger site. This is due to technical difficulties including ''VideoGame/GarrysMod'' load times, the [5161814]: overtime mission on November 29, 2014, university work, and as a way to try to alleviate [[CreatorBreakdown love/hate grudges and loss of faith Jack had of people]] throughout 2015.
686** Before its cancellation, ''Op/Res''[='=]s finale was planned to be in an audio or visual form, yet it would likely have been private due to personal concerns.

689-----------> '''''[[TrappedInVillainy She's out to kill me.]]'''''
690
691[[folder:Opposition/Resurrection O-R]]
692
693* OOCIsSeriousBusiness:
694** Zigzagged with Black Rock Shooter. In ep 2, she attacked the team before casually saluting them, and then attacked them again in ep 3.
695** As soon as the battle in episode 3 concluded, Serah Farron slaps Homura in the face in her first Op/Res appearance. However, the character with her, Nagisa Hazuki, isn't OOC enough, though his presence is still due to the 2014 plot shakeups. The [5161814]: overtime reunion came six months too late to change this.
696* ObfuscatingStupidity: In ep 2, Homura does this to act how [[LateArrivalSpoiler her former "Moemura" self]] would have acted in order to distract Rena. She even waits on Madoka's personal nod to pull her Aperture turret from her shield.
697* ObstructiveCodeOfConduct: A flashback in episode 6 explains why the Second-Homura looks different than the Homura of this timeline.
698* OffscreenTeleportation:
699** Spy fakes a death in Op/Res 2 during his brief invisibility time with the Dead Ringer ([[GameplayAndStoryIntegration picking up some ammo offscreen]] to extend this time) and makes it back to the inhibitor room within the course of a few seconds.
700** Used in Op/Res 7 chapter 8, especially with Strength's sudden appearance. This was because time-screw teleports, which [[https://twitter.com/superslinger07/status/653180746987778049 "sound too much like DeLoreans"]], had to be avoided in that chapter due to its release in Oct. 2015.
701* OminousLatinChanting: Verdi's Dies irae, a staple for "a devastating mental instability event" in the ss07 series since 2010, is heard during the [[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya Yuki]] and [[Webcomic/AxisPowersHetalia Italy]] cameo flashback in Op/Res 3.
702* OminousVisualGlitch: In addition to corruption via inhibitors, Vanellope causes the whole scene around her to pixelate when she glitches.
703* OnceMoreWithClarity: "Discovering a secret meeting", a preview released on Nov. 14, 2015, was written with this trope in mind. However, ''Op/Res''[='=]s cancellation prevented its episode from being made.
704* OnceASeason: Someone receives a wrapped-up Sapper from Spy every ChristmasEpisode.
705* TheOneGuy: Nagisa Hazuki, a swimmer dude, is named one of the Hostiles, whose other two members are female.
706* OneMarioLimit: Having the five ''MadokaMagica'' girls would imply that their SixthRanger would appear... However, [[{{Anime/Free}} Nagisa Hazuki]], the wrong Nagisa, shows up first in Op/Res 3, and [[spoiler:Nagisa Momoe joins in Op/Res 7 only ''after'' one of the five girls is sent into a coma.]]
707* OneSteveLimit
708** As in ''CODE RED'', there is only one version of each of the characters, especially the ''Team Fortress 2'' mercs across both RED and BLU. Also, even though there are multiple cosplayers of a given character as encountered in real life, there is only one each of that character. After all, it's implied things would be very messed up "for there to be actually ''two'' of" someone at the same time in the mashup story.
709** Averted for the two Mecha-Engineers, Second-Homura, and the Scout/[=FemScout=] pair.
710* TheOneThatGotAway / MissedHimByThatMuch: Due to a pessimistic CantGetAwayWithNuthin mentality while making the ''Op/Res'' episodes, the Hostiles, a secondary group of three characters who initially oppose the team, had been written in solely based on this justification. However, there were catchup encounters in Nov. 2014 for [5161814]: overtime and in May 2015 during code51515.
711* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: Whoever's in control of the slashed inhibitor really wants only the Resurrection Movement members to fight the current Opposition member. If a battle takes place in the inhibitor room, anyone else may be zapped and forcibly teleported away at any time.
712* OnlyOneMeAllowedRightNow: Averted with Homura. Unlike her originating series, she does run into a temporal doppelganger in Op/Res.
713* OrcusOnHisThrone: The Opposition Leader is implied to be this, just watching a giant viewscreen and lazily flipping the stolen Lambent Light sword around.
714* OutOfCharacterMoment: Near the end of Op/Res 3, Serah slaps Homura in the face. This is the moment that brands Serah an apparent Hostile for the next few episodes.
715* OutOfFocus:
716** Medic was barely seen at the end of ep 1 before he "returns" in ep 2.
717** Spy has also become Out of Focus lately. Justified, as in ep 2, Homura returned [[http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Cloak_and_Dagger his Cloak and Dagger watch]] that allows him to be invisible indefinitely.
718* OverclockingAttack: The Ubercharge from Medic's regular Medigun is implied to be just as heart-pounding as it is in the source material. This means normal humans like Kurisu can't take it.
719* OverdrawnAtTheBloodBank: Due to a non-comedic DevelopmentGag, a flashback implies the fugitive slowly bled to death among the snow, to the spot where Madoka and Homura witness him dead in a pool of blood in an AlternateTimeline. This was featured in Op/Res 5.
720* PaintingTheMedium:
721** The names of cameo characters are often left unsaid in the rapid montages of inhibitor footage and in the Op/Res 6 prologue. Only their clothes and hairstyles are described. This is {{justified|Trope}}: the video equivalents of these episodes would've done the same thing and just showed a lot of characters waving at the camera, in order to emulate the actual private recordings.
722** When the Fugitive goes into a rage or TranquilFury, some of his speech is put into BoldInflation.
723* PaletteSwap: Used in conjunction with MorphicResonance, SplitPersonalityTakeover, ActorAllusion, and NotHerself. The mental inhibitors zap Yutaka, causing her personality to change, and her hair and clothes to match.
724* ParadoxPerson: Second-Homura, being a temporal duplicate brought by Time Police intervention. She first appears in Op/Res 3.
725* PayEvilUntoEvil:
726** Through the ss07 series in general, this was the mentality of putting the Death Star II in Earth orbit since 2008's mashups.
727** The Fugitive is not exactly morally sound, either. He calls some people Hostiles even when there's a cheerful guy among their group, and [[spoiler:allows a "RevengeByProxy" situation to happen to Elsa]].
728* PlotDetour: The Resurrection Movement starts to battle the Opposition, a group of seven who wants their Fugitive leader dead. But then the Fugitive completely loses his mind over a group of apparent Hostiles. Compounded with dwindling numbers and getting ambushed by Time Police, the team members [[spoiler:split into two factions prepared to fight each other if need be]].
729* PlotMandatedFriendshipFailure: The Anti-Fugitive Pact would've invoked this. This is mostly due to actual events that wound up cancelling Op/Res instead.
730* ThePlotReaper: Downplayed. See Deus Exit Machina above.
731* PlotRelevantAgeUp: Subverted. Even though Vanellope appeared as a teenager in inhibitor filler ep27, Op/Res episodes 1, 2, 4, and 5 show/describe her in her regular age and height, among InvoluntaryShapeshifting.
732* PlotTriggeringDeath: For the second-Homura from a BadFuture, finding the man, who later becomes the Fugitive, lying dead in a pool of blood sets her on a destined path to prevent his death no matter what. There's a bit of TimeyWimeyBall, as the man's death is eventually prevented or at least postponed.
733* PointOfDivergence: Assuming Op/Res is an alternate reality:
734** Despite the proceeding and success of the 2013 fear/survival mission, the fugitive's delusions about people wanting him dead came true in April 2013. (This is fiction. Cosplayers encountered were actually deemed awesome in 2013 and beyond. Didn't stop him from running like hell, though.)
735** Despite final victories in 2014's [5161814] mission + overtime and in 2015's code51515, "fictional counterparts" are said to become hostile to the Resurrection Movement. Episode 5 is even named [[WithUsOrAgainstUs "Apathy means hostility"]]. (This is fiction. Rationality says some people previously encountered were "blissfully unaware of a fugitive's presence". Still, Jack has to learn (and relearn) to let go.)
736* PoliceAreUseless: Some of the officers look like the Combine Metropolice from ''VideoGame/HalfLife 2''. They invite Engineer for a witness interview in episode 5, wear gasmasks, and are later revealed to be the TimePolice. Since episode 6, these officers aim to arrest some innocent people.
737* PortentOfDoom / BadMoonRising (PlanetSpaceship): The Death Star II is back in the sky for the first two episodes, signalling a month-long RaceAgainstTheClock before it decides to blow up the Earth. Again. Of course, like in the mashups of old, it eventually makes [[TotalEclipseOfThePlot its own kind of solar eclipse]]. The... psychopath'''''s''''' are defeated in episode 2 or banished in an episode 3 flashback, prompting the Death Star to leave Earth orbit.
738* {{Portmantitle}} / PortmanteauSeriesNickname: Op/Res from '''Op'''position/'''Res'''urrection.
739* PostScriptSeason: Takes place after ''CODE RED'', which was itself post-script.
740* PowerGlows: Whatever was used to slash inhibitor #2 must have been sufficiently strong, leaving an everlasting glow on it.
741* PowerNullifier: Used effectively by the Opposition on the Holy Quintet magical girls so far.
742** Sakura's Sealing Wand during the time it was in the hands of Black Rock Shooter. In ep 2, Sayaka is forced to de-transform just as she goes psychopathic, but then Madoka (!) and Homura also get hit by the wand.
743** As of ep 8, the mystery assassin's headshots are implied to induce a suppression field that puts targets into comas. [[spoiler:Kyoko]] is affected even though Soul Gem mechanics would suggest otherwise.
744* PrecisionFStrike: Neru, censored, with her synthetic "CODE RED" voice, in Op/Res 5. [[RealitySubtext Based on an actual encounter with an angry drunk guy]] who, judging by the Fugitive's comments later on, sat in a shopping cart as he did so.
745* PresentDayPast / TimeMarchesOn: Long production times for an Op/Res episode leads to this. Episode 3 has a flashback sequence depicting events from April to December 2013, yet its setting of Dec. 13-15, 2013 continued to be influenced because of [5161814] in 2014. This is also expected to affect future episodes, what with post-[5161814] resentment against alleged [[TheOneThatGotAway runaways]], some AccidentallyAccurate {{Actor Allusion}}s, and an ever-increasing backlog of rotating interests. Moreover, influential situations such as two [=VAs=] arriving for '''[5161814]: overtime''' also led to potentially anachronistic cameos.
746* ThePrettyGuysAreStronger: Within the [=ResMov=], the younger and cuter Madoka Magica girls tend to outpace the older and gruffer Team Fortress mercs.
747* ProfessionalKiller: [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 Nine of them]] were recruited as the rest of the Resurrection Movement after taking on the CODE RED missions. Scout was substituted by a DistaffCounterpart until he returned for duty alongside her.
748* PromotionToOpeningTitles:
749** Because Scout was incapped in ''inhibitor filler'' ep30, Female Scout appears alongside Engineer and Spy in the opening to Op/Res on the very first episode.
750** Scout himself gets repromoted to Op/Res 4's titles, alongside [=FemScout=]... if Op/Res 4 was a video episode.
751* ProtagonistCenteredMorality: A "fugitive" who 7 people (supposedly) want dead is on the side of who may be the good guys around here, and, for starters, we all know how exaggeratingly bad Rena was portrayed in the ss07 series so far.
752* ProtectionMission: The team had to "Keep [Rena] away from the inhibitors!" in ep 2, which may imply some importance.
753* {{Protectorate}}: The Op/Res Fugitive, though he's beginning to show signs of ambiguous morality.
754* PunchedAcrossTheRoom: Strength does this to Ellis.
755* PunnyName: The portmanteau name Op/Res plays on "OPFOR" or "opposing force"... or "''opposition'' force". Also implied: the word "oppress" as in "The team's being '''oppress'''ed by the Opposition".
756* RadioVoice:
757** An audio filter is present only in ep 1. The notable absence of this in ep 2 was {{Hand Wave}}d in ep 3 due to "speaker upgrades".
758** Zigzagged during Tsumugi's phone call in ep 3. Only the [=DeLorean-like=] time screw sound is muffled (coming from behind a wall).
759* [[RageAgainstTheAuthor Rage Against the]] AuthorAvatar: The series was conceived upon this due to delusions about how Jack thought certain people wanted him dead at the time.
760* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: The Resurrection Movement.
761* RealLifeWritesThePlot:
762** As always, cosplay characters who got to wave at the camera or do whatever influenced their fictional counterparts.
763** Something went completely wrong during the [5161814] mission: encounters with certain people in the same room were not fully completed. Objectives, boiled down to "Complete all mandatory objectives or it's automatic failure; every other {{cosplay}}er is either non-mandatory or semi-primary", were suddenly changed as a LoopholeAbuse so that [[MustMakeAmends only one primary]] was required, leading to a shake-up of the status quo for Op/Res episodes beginning with episode 5. These certain people, admittedly, were also not met in 2010, either, making this a BookEnds situation, but it's not helping at all, as this is a meta-example of ForWantOfANail.
764** Characters affected could become Opposition members at worst, or [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness hostile]] to the Resurrection Movement at best.
765** Events occurring since December 4, 2014, five days after the [5161814]: overtime mission, have influenced Op/Res 6, which is set in early December 2014.
766** code51515's lucky vigilance would have influenced unmade Op/Res episodes. Plans were being made to increase the "fiction" in "fictionalized {{dramatization}}".
767* RealPlaceBackground:
768** Some areas at the Calgary Stampede were purposely filmed for inhibitor flashbacks in ep 3.
769** An actual outdoor platform at the University of Calgary can be seen behind Kyoko, which was also in ep 3 and named the "platform of infamy" in Op/Res 5's web novel. Filming locations are only named in the credits.
770** Also in Op/Res 5, Homura stands in front of a classroom marked "ST 132", while Madoka is in front of a larger room marked "140". The classroom [=ST132=] at a local university is notable for being the room where Jack's identity was COMPROMISED on May 22, 2010.
771** [[https://twitter.com/superslinger07/status/468242481830957056 Twitter posts like this one]] claim that more backgrounds were filmed on dates such as May 18, 2014 (the last day of [5161814]). Posts about a changed status-quo for Op/Res followed over a month later, leading to the eventual use of those real-life areas as the setting for the attack in Op/Res 5 chapter 1.
772** More backgrounds were filmed in December 2014-May 2015 and maybe more since then, further supporting the implication that reality is leaking into Op/Res land.
773* RealityEnsues:
774** Ep 2: Homura hurts her eyes from wearing her glasses and looking at the solar Death Star II eclipse, causing her to stay out of confronting Opposition Member #2. The Death Star II, being smaller than Earth's moon and not fully spherical, would still let sunlight past its frame.
775** Ep 3 flashback: Sniper is downed after trying [[NotTheFallThatKillsYou a high-jump Halloween spell]]... from a high ledge. This does him in for the episode.
776** Ep 3: Someone is under the impression that NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished after the battle against Black Rock Shooter.
777* RealitySubtext:
778** Jack's affinity for a local convention, mixed in with regular rotating interests, leads to random cameos by characters such as [[TheSlenderManMythos Slenderman]], Film/IronMan, [[MightyMorphinPowerRangers Green Ranger]], and a [[VideoGame/BioShock2 Little Sister]], similar to CODE RED, not to mention giving ''so much screentime'' to Homura and Mami that [[SerendipityWritesThePlot they end up running out of their own lines]] and have to speak in other characters' voices.
779** Some events can be described as influenced reenactments. These include BRS's salute in ep 2 and Second-Homura's salute in ep 3, and the way Misa waves to Konata's group in ep 3, for instance. These stem from personal cosplay sightings and filmed cosplay segments in an old ill-fated series and as subsequent private recordings.
780** Slenderman's cameo was actually due to a newscast about 2013's Calgary Expo parade. Reports indicate during the May 2013 fear/survival mission, Jack profusely apologized to another Slenderman cosplayer after showing him the cameo in slow motion.
781** The idea of a second Homura was considered even before ''Rebellion'' had local screenings. Encountering two or more cosplayers going as the same character over the years may have influenced the idea of having "two of the same character" in Op/Res, and then there's the nature of Homura's powers.
782** Engineer shaking hands with a ''VideoGame/BioShock2'' Little Sister was influenced. The "write encouraging stuff" sanity-challenge invoked in 2013-2014, which capped off in 2015, always led to Jack shaking the hands of only those cosplayers in question. The Little Sister uses one hand instead of both to avoid video-masking laziness difficulties.
783** The Fugitive states he actually thought Juvia was Sayaka. Based on actual thoughts, as confirmed in the Otafest debriefings REDUX (June 2014).
784** The interventionary character's actions in ep 3 have subtext. It's connected to a cosplayer seen in the infamous May 14, 2012 newscast, and encountered in 2012-2013. This translated into one character from one series (Black Gold Saw) having SheFu somersault kicks usually performed by a different character in a different series (Lili from ''Tekken''). Unfortunately, she became a runaway that Jack gave up on, and BGS [[spoiler:was eliminated by the Opposition]].
785** Serah's ArmorPiercingSlap at the end of ep 3 also has subtext. She has been mainly [[CompositeCharacter inspired by the actions of two cosplayers]] met throughout the years (including their former status as [5161814] runaways and the conflict-resolving meetups during [5161814]: overtime and code51515). Serah is also connected to the infamous May 14, 2012 newscast, which explains why she doesn't have gloves in her Op/Res appearance.
786** Op/Res 4: Engineer falling to his knees on March 24, 2014, after seeing footage of Sasha (not the gun) on the inhibitors, mirrors a real-life Twitter incident on March 24, 2014 at 7:21 pm MDT. Let's just say [[SignificantDoubleCasting Sasha was at an event from months prior to the incident and had a candy cane on her]], and someone or something decided to unexpectedly share that moment.
787** In a written cameo, WesternAnimation/ScaryGodmother sees [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Madoka]] walking alongside the [[Series/DoctorWho 11th Doctor]]. This refers to Scary Godmother's voice actress who visited on Nov. 29, 2013 (the date of the real-life fear/survival mission: overtime), as well as the cosplay objectives on that day in regards to the surrounding theatre screenings of ''The Day of the Doctor'' and ''Madoka: Rebellion''.
788** [[{{Music/Vocaloid}} Luka]] appears with two characters who may match the descriptions of the characters [[Manga/DeathNote Light Yagami]] and [[Webcomic/AxisPowersHetalia Holy Roman Empire]]. Jin Kazama and Bad Box Art Mega Man also appear. All represent voice actors who were guests in May 2014. They even watch a newscast on TV at exactly 8:15 AM on May 16, 2014.
789** Op/Res 5's prologue, taking place on May 17, 2014, was deliberately based on actual events (encounters with Mami and Homura cosplayers and a Tumblr photo of those cosplayers snapped by someone else) and had to be revised a few times.
790** Engineer uses a [[VideoGame/MarioKart blue shell]]. This was inspired by an actual cosplayer with an RC vehicle decorated as a Blue Shell encountered during the dark times.
791** The group of unnamed girls showing up, as well as Asuna and France's appearances, during the events on October 4 in Op/Res 6 are due to cosplay encounters and announcements.
792* RealityWarper: The mental inhibitors, which regulate reality and keep a database. Since Inhibitor 2 was damaged, time screw teleports and other strange events become more rampant. If that wasn't enough, [[LightNovel/SwordArtOnline a one-handed rapier]] and [[Manga/CardcaptorSakura a particular wand]] fall into the wrong hands and used to do something they're kinda not supposed to do, and several multitudes of characters show up to "go ahead, do whatever". The Opposition really should've thought twice before breaking that local-reality-machine.
793* RecruitTeenagersWithAttitude: Alongside nine or ten mercs.
794* RecycledScript:
795** In a video released around the time of an Otafest event, a character portrayed by a voice actress guest gets some screentime in a short video. This refers to either [[Creator/MichelleRuff Yuki]] in the May 2010 update (''CODE RED'') and "Disturbance Over A Leak" (2010), or [[Creator/CheramiLeigh Asuna]] in the ''Op/Res'' episode 4 preview clip (2014).
796** Character influxes regarding Asuna and [[Creator/JMichaelTatum France]] may also be treated in the same manner as it was with Yuki all those years ago. However, this means Lucy Heartfilia must speak in English[[note]]unlike in Op/Res 3[[/note]], and Rintaro Okabe ("Hououin Kyouma") may have to confront Medic. The latter two actually were cosplay character encounters in [5161814] (May 2014), only for an event of LifeImitatesArt to influence this next part:
797** '''As confirmed in a [[https://twitter.com/superslinger07/status/546553397873106944 Dec. 20, 2014 tweet]]''': Characters who almost have the same voice suddenly get a whole lot of screentime. From shows of which Jack had the covers signed at Otafest, the characters arrive on the scene and begin to interact with the mashup series' protagonists. So, four years (in-story) after ''CODE RED'' introduced [[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya Yuki Nagato]], [[Manga/LuckyStar Tsukasa Hiiragi]], and their eventual travelling entourage, ''Op/Res'' will have [[LightNovel/SwordArtOnline Asuna Yuuki]] bring in [[Webcomic/AxisPowersHetalia France (Francis Bonnefoy)]] because they've been ''[[RealitySubtext cordially invited]]'' to [[InspiredBy another weekend gathering]], and [[VisualNovel/SteinsGate Rintaro Okabe/"Hououin Kyouma" brings in Suzuha Amane]] for help in confronting Kurisu Makise. Also, [[Manga/FairyTail Lucy Heartfilia]] changes her voice to English and brings in [[{{Anime/Free}} Rei Ryugazaki]] [[SerendipityWritesThePlot if he gets a jacket and shoes on]]. See ContinuityNod above for something similar regarding ''CODE RED'' and ''Op/Res''.
798** As a proposed idea, the above information, as well as Luka putting on items that are replicas of those from Creator/YuuAsakawa's other characters, seems similar to when a bunch of Creator/MichelleRuff's characters showed up in CODE RED. Then again, the [5161814] final mission arguably served as book ends in respect to "special guests in shows that [Jack] did know" (SmallReferencePools), at least before overtime happened.
799** Asuna and France receiving their "5:16" clock-sketch papers for [5161814]: overtime has been reworked into the Op/Res 6 prologue (web novel).
800** [[http://superslinger2007.deviantart.com/art/OTPT2-Okarin-points-out-the-correct-room-498896911 This MMD image on ss07's DeviantArt account]] was reworked into a footage flashback set on Nov. 28, 2014 in Op/Res 6.
801* RedEyesTakeWarning: The unnamed "[[Franchise/KagerouProject girl with orange hair tied into a side ponytail]]" first described in Op/Res 7 does this in the "Discovering a secret meeting" preview.
802* RedHerring: A freaking tank? [[https://twitter.com/superslinger07/status/546155711793610752 This tweet]] implied the ''Left4Dead'' zombie, and Scout even notes the presence of a tank while on the computer in the Holiday short 2014. But Op/Res episode 6 (novel) states that [[Franchise/BlackRockShooter Strength]], Opposition Member #4 with big mechanical arms, reminds Ellis of a Tank.
803* ReferenceOverdosed: Many characters from various shows, movies, and video games get cameos. This goes UpToEleven with the flashback sequences in Op/Res episodes 3 and 5.
804* RenegadeSplinterFaction: The Dissociates in what could've been the Anti-Fugitive Pact arc.
805* TheResolutionWillNotBeTelevised: Op/Res's finale would have most likely been in text form.
806* RestrainingBolt: In regards to Op/Res 5, Homura is normally restricted to going back to the day she went out of that hospital in ''Madoka Magica'', which is assumed in the Op/Res 5 novel to be on March 16, 2011 due to ''Madoka Magica''[='=]s original airdates and the part in Op/Res that says Homura would have to repeat the past 1 1/2 years. However, a mishap with the inhibitor makes Homura unable to go back further than November '''[[ArcNumber 17]]''', 2012, nearly one month before the Fugitive's fatal decision. This essentially locks Homura to the Fugitive's cause, much to her disdain.
807* ResurrectedForAJob: That's just how these mashup crossovers work anyway.
808* ReTool:
809** This is ''CODE RED'' with magical girls joining the mercs, the looming threat of seven people who want an enigmatic fugitive dead, and with [[MissionControlIsOffItsMeds said fugitive on the verge of madness]]. Despite this, sequences in a few episodes are similar to CODE RED or an extended ''inhibitor filler'' montage episode, mainly inspired by cosplay character encounters.
810** Another retool was in the works for inevitable plot shifts in the stories set in 2015.
811* {{Retraux}}:
812** During episode 3's flashbacks, depicting the previous episode's battle, there is a shot of Iron Man as he appeared in ''VideoGame/CaptainAmericaAndTheAvengers'' getting teleported away by a time screw portal, followed by another shot of Sayaka, Madoka, and Homura as they appear in ''VideoGame/GriefSyndrome'' (with Homura's added glasses; ItMakesSenseInContext for Op/Res 2), alongside [=FemScout=] (edited ''VideoGame/TeamFortressArcade'' sprites) and Rena. These shots were (re)created using retro (some [[DigitizedSprites simulated-digitized]]) video game sprites, along with inaccuracies regarding weaponry, poses, and appearances compared to modern media (due to limited sprite availability). This was later made into [[http://superslinger2007.deviantart.com/art/FLASH-Op-Res-ep-2-Rena-battle-scene-16-bit-style-501059280 a Flash diorama]] during a 12-days holiday session in 2014. In it, the characters can be clicked, and they perform actions inspired by the battle in Op/Res 2.
813** In a holiday special, Neru is seen in a VideoGame/SimTower world where Santa rides by with his sleigh and reindeer.
814* TheReveal
815** Ep 1: The BigBad has possession of the Lambent Light sword, and the Death Star II is back in the sky (as expected since a psychopath is around).
816** Ep 2: Opposition member #2 was revealed to be Black Rock Shooter, a former ally from the ''CODE RED'' missions. And then a labcoat girl known as Kurisu shows up.
817** Ep 3: Iron Man is the second of three characters zapped away during the previous episode's battle against Rena. It takes chaotic doppelganger Lumina to reveal that fugitive delusions against "society" are an actuality in Op/Res. Some characters have seemingly placed themselves at odds with some Resurrection Movement members. Asuna is missing her Lambent Light rapier. Finally, the Fugitive knows that Homura would become too different, and so does Homura herself.
818** Ep 4: Luka and friends invite some of the team to watch [[RippedFromTheHeadlines an actual real-life news broadcast]] at exactly 8:15 AM on May 16, 2014, meaning that [[VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory reality may actually play a big part]] in this fictionalized dramatization.
819** Ep 5: A new antagonist is revealed. Based on her abilities with blue-striped swords, it's no wonder she's called [[spoiler:Stocking Anarchy]].
820** Ep 8: Mami and Homura learn where the Time Police's coastline map leads: [[spoiler:Nova Prospekt]].
821* RevengeByProxy: As Op/Res 6 shows, [[spoiler:if you vaguely agree to an offer to join the Resurrection Movement and later choose not to, be prepared to see your sister get kidnapped by the Time Police]]. Counts as a BewilderingPunishment.
822* RippedFromTheHeadlines: Downplayed. Op/Res credits influence to several "relevant newscasts". The credits for the Op/Res 5 web novel go on to thank two news anchors for presenting the May 2012 and May 2014 newscasts.
823** The [[RewindReplayRepeat infamous May 14, 2012 newscast]] had a major effect on the series and has been credited for it. For one thing, it justifies why Serah doesn't have her usual gloves on. ("That damn newscast" will affect future episodes, all because Jack has one of the only surviving copies. The video was taken offline, as part of website redesigns and the news channel's [=YouTube=] account getting emptied (bringing to mind the trope, KeepCirculatingTheTapes).)
824*** However, the events of [5161814]: overtime and code51515 are slated to reduce the negativity and severity of this influential incident.
825** April 26, 2013 had newscasts about that year's Calgary Expo parade as well as a Madoka cosplayer interview at said expo. This led to Madoka's increased screentime in Op/Res 3, albeit slightly. It didn't make Madoka try on glasses, but it did make Slenderman get his mandatory Op/Res 1 cameo.
826** May 16, 2014's newscast wasn't as captivating as the one two years prior, but Op/Res episodes 4 and 5 imply that Luka, Light, and Holy Rome show Engineer and friends this very newscast on TV. (Jack also has a copy of this one [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes just in case.]])
827** May 14, 2015's newscast, listed in the credits for episode 7 and the preview "Discovering a secret meeting", may have something to do with one of the unnamed cameo characters featured in it. (Jack also has copies of this one [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes just in case.]])
828* RisingConflict: First, the Resurrection Movement was a loose group of voluntary bodyguards. They are set to defend against the Opposition, seven people who want a Fugitive dead. Next, one of the Opposition members attempts to use {{Mooks}} of her own, and then come a new group of potential antagonists that the Fugitive has disdain against, followed by the TimePolice out to arrest a few innocent people.
829* RobotMe: The two Mecha-Engineers, debuting in a filler short, play a role other than just getting BlownAcrossTheRoom in ep 2. In ep 3's flashbacks, they are seen repairing Inhibitor #3, which sustained damage from an electric rifle shot during the prelude, and can be seen in a background cameo when the fugitive talks about there being two people in the same outfit.
830* RomanAClef / LifeEmbellished: Op/Res is a fictionalized dramatization containing fictionalized accounts of various characters based on paranoid delusions and encounters, from the dark times (circa 2012) and beyond.
831* RoyalRapier:
832** Sayaka has cutlasses she can summon at will.
833** Lambent Light, Asuna's light greenish-blue {{weapon of choice}}, was stolen by the Opposition Leader.
834* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Elsa invokes this in Op/Res ep 7 by actively icing up the TimePolice's outfits.
835* RuleOfDrama: Seems to be in great effect, as the Resurrection Movement later deals with a new group of potential people of interest as well as the Opposition, and consider the commands of [[MissionControlIsOffItsMeds a Fugitive who's been acting strangely]].
836* RuleOfThree: The TimePolice seem to put themselves in groups of three.
837* RuleOfSeven: The Opposition consists of seven people who want the Fugitive dead.
838
839[[/folder]]
840
841[[folder:Opposition/Resurrection S]]
842
843* SacrificialLamb:
844** Scout is incapacitated in the prelude's ''inhibitor filler'' episode 30 (but recovers), followed by Pyro and Demoman in Op/Res 1.
845** [[spoiler:[[VideoGame/KantaiCollection Yuudachi]]]] is arrest-kidnapped by the Time Police in the middle of Op/Res 7, which serves to [[spoiler:convince the Fugitive that the Time Police is a threat, even though the Fugitive probably set her up himself]].
846* SacrificialLion:
847** Sniper and Heavy in Op/Res 5, after they received more "onscreen" time in the previous two episodes.
848** {{Zigzagged|Trope}} with Engineer, who had a Reanimator box ever since ep 3. But the Reanimator was stolen by Stocking in ep 5. In ep 6, the team recovers the Reanimator during a fight with Stocking and revives Engineer.
849** [[spoiler:Kyoko]] in Op/Res 7 after opposing the Resurrection Movement due to conflicting ideals.
850* SatelliteCharacter: The fugitive, acting as MissionControl
851* SavedByCanon: Characters who appear in the Holiday short 2014 must survive the events of Op/Res 5 and 6. This definitely includes Engineer.
852* SavedForTheSequel:
853** Someone shot inhibitor #3 and tried to kill Spy in the prelude, but Spy [[FakingTheDead escaped]]. This someone then ends up sending several more characters into comas throughout episodes 5-7.
854** Several reveals happened at the end of Op/Res 3, such as a few new hostiles, the Lambent Light's current fate, and the fact that there are two of the same character around. [[NeverLiveItDown Many a mention has been made]] of one of the Hostiles slapping Homura in the face.
855* SceneryGorn: One of the first things seen in the prelude and episode 1 (in the opening) is a mental inhibitor machine from CODE RED with a big glowing slash across its screen, an everlasting plume of smoke, and an ominous hum.
856* ScheduleSlip
857** Ep 2 takes place on May 19-20, 2013, right after Otafest. It was originally released on Sept. 7.
858** Ep 3 takes place on December 13-15, 2013. It was ChristmasRushed in an ultimately futile attempt to complete it before the [5161814] mission. Having slowed back down again, ep 2, announced for spring 2014, was originally released on June 14, 2014, one week before summer.
859** Ep 4, set on May 14-16, 2014, just before Otafest, was to begin production right afterwards if not for a general hiatus on June 20-24, 2014. And then August 2014 came and went without any progress. It was turned into a web novel and was released in two halves in Nov. and Dec. 2014.
860** The 2014 holiday short was meant to be done by Christmas and then by New Year's, but family events and technical difficulties happened. This is even pointed out by [[Music/BonJovi the song clip]] (CoveredUp) at the beginning.
861** Ep 5 takes place after ep 4, from May 18 to a few days afterwards.
862** As of January 2016, the novel chapter releases seemed like they were dialed back to every four weeks. It was subverted with episode 8 chapter 3a's release, though it's shorter than either of its preceding two chapters. Each segment of chapter 3 was likewise released every 1-2 weeks.
863* SchoolUniformsAreTheNewBlack: In ep 1, Sayaka was the only one of the magical girls to first be seen in her uniform before Madoka and Homura got depowered and seen in their uniforms in ep 2. In ep 3, Kyoko is in a uniform of her own, due to ''Rebellion'''s influence, and Mami also chose to de-transform of her own free will.
864* SchrodingersGun: For example, we don't even see who's in possession of the stolen Lambent Light sword yet, but we find out who's ''not'', or who the remaining Opposition members are... exactly.
865* ScreensAreCameras: The inhibitors have embedded-camera systems within the viewscreens.
866* SecondLawOfMetafictionalThermodynamics: This trope causes bad things to happen to the Resurrection Movement.
867** Ep 2: Sayaka was not supposed to be blasted by the new Opposition member, and Madoka and Homura were not supposed to be depowered. This was because Jack was verbally attacked in August 2013 by someone who was intoxicated.
868** Eps 3-5: Something went wrong during the "no more delusion" [5161814] mission, resulting in a LoopholeAbuse ([[https://twitter.com/superslinger07/status/468121066544447489 Twitter post]]) and a subsequent change in status-quo for Op/Res. All resentment is being channeled into turning some "fictional counterparts" hostile. For example, after the battle in episode 3, Serah was not supposed to slap Homura, '''and''' some guy named Nagisa Hazuki was not supposed to show up, but a real-life TheOneThatGotAway situation happened after a previous encounter during the dark times... Two reunions, one during [5161814]: overtime and the other during code51515, occurred way too late to change anything.
869** Ep 5: Several characters going into comas from brutal but non-lethal [[BoomHeadshot headshots]] is also an example of this, as promised by the shakeups and the Otafest debriefings REDUX.
870** Ep 6: Someone in the story is [[TonightSomeoneDies about to get arrested]] and taken into custody, all because of angry mood swings on Dec. 4 that happened after [5161814]: overtime led to a victory. It seems the Combine officers from ''VideoGame/HalfLife2'', acting as TimePolice in the ss07 mashups, may be involved sooner than expected.
871** Ep 8: Favorably lucky encounters leading to multiple resolutions with May 2014's runaways during code51515 (May 2015) were expected to have positive effects on the story at around this point before Op/Res got cancelled. However, the events spanning the nine months after May 2015 lead to a planned story arc with an Anti-Fugitive Pact.
872* SelfGuardingPhlebotinum: Whoever slashed Inhibitor 2 has turned it into this, adding a demonic(?) force field that repulses all {{Wrench Whack}}s.
873* SelfInsertFic: Technically a heavily fictionalized version of a delusional "fugitive of society" torn out of "June-Dec. 2012 and April-May 2013" etc, but still. "Just as not everybody loves and adores a person in real life, they're not all going to love and adore them in a fanfic, either."
874* SensibleHeroesSkimpyVillains:
875** Black Rock Shooter may have been the only revealed Opposition member to qualify for this due to apparent SuddenSequelHeelSyndrome.
876** But then Serah Farron, a character gone hostile with a less revealing, but still {{Stripperific}}, form-fitting outfit showed up.
877* SequelEscalation: As the episodes' lengths increased from ep 1 to 3, the situations the Resurrection Movement find themselves in get more crazy and risky as more enemies are revealed, especially the group of spacesuit protesters. Also, more [[TheReveal reveals]] came crashing in at the end of Op/Res 3 compared to Op/Res 2.
878* SequelHook:
879** Ep 2 had [[Anime/BlackRockShooter Opposition member #2]] on the loose with a corrupted [[Manga/CardcaptorSakura magic wand]], Medic finally returning after an absence, and [[SteinsGate a labcoat-wearing girl]] holding a Vaccinator medigun.
880** Ep 3 had an interventionary character from the same origin as Opposition member #2 assisting the Resurrection Movement, two characters who seemingly acted hostile towards Homura, a particular [[Manga/AttackOnTitan titan-fighter]] being announced as Heavy's new friend, and [[LightNovel/SwordArtOnline two sword-RPG warriors]] showing up with a missing-rapier poster.
881** Ep 4 has Luka showing Engineer a newscast on TV [[RealitySubtext at exactly 8:15 AM on May 16, 2014.]] It's about the weekend gathering the team's going to, and it just may be the same event that real-life Jack has an affinity for.
882** Ep 5 ends with the reveal of the hostile group's own leader, who [[RealitySubtext the Fugitive was very angry at]]. Because she can transform her [[ZettaiRyouiki thigh-high socks]] into her striped katanas, it's no wonder this character is known as [[Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt Stocking Anarchy]].
883** Ep 6: Anna is kidnapped by the TimePolice because the Fugitive prevented Mami and Homura from helping Elsa fight. Also, an orange-haired woman is seen with a Time Police officer.
884** Ep 7: [[spoiler:Medic falls to a headshot coma, and Yutaka is forced to look and sound like a more familiar character....]]
885* SerendipityWritesThePlot: Available models in, or ported to, MMD or [=GMod=], as well as accessibility to clips, can influence cameos and storylines, {{Nerf}} down magical weaponry, or affect a character's appearance in the mashups.
886** In a SchoolUniformsAreTheNewBlack example, Kyoko remained in her magical girl costume in two episodes due to this. ''Official'' images for a school uniform Kyoko appeared on the ''Madoka Magica: Rebellion'' site in fall 2013, which led to Kyoko getting stuck in a school uniform for Op/Res ep 3. As of December 2014, a model of Kyoko in her regular clothes would have been used for the video versions of Op/Res 4-7.
887** Kyoko's spear got nerfed (it'd be too complicated to make or animate a segmented version). Similarly, [[FirstInstallmentWins Mami uses a lot of musket rifles]] instead of snagging opponents with her ribbon powers.
888** Second-Homura's right upper arm sleeve appears to have a deep cut in it. The model was split through and stuck together unevenly due to a modeling error. This was explained in another one of her "origins" flashbacks in Op/Res 6, which was originally intended for Op/Res 3.
889** Strength can't use her giant hands as FingerFirearms because they're jammed (it would have been much simpler to animate her pounding her opponent for a video episode).
890** Yutaka's and [[spoiler:Nagisa M]]'s appearances in Op/Res are due to MMD model availability or lack thereof.
891* SeriesHiatus:
892** From Sept. 2013-June 14, 2014 between the initial releases of episodes 2 and 3. A teaser for Op/Res 3 was released in Dec. 2013, the first preview (the first few minutes) was released in March 2014, a special [5161814] preview was made in May 2014.
893** There was a general hiatus from June 20-24, 2014 due to family business. It was extended until November 2014, when Op/Res continued in web novel form.
894** The original Op/Res effectively became {{Cancelled}} with another hiatus in March 2016 because of too many overwhelming ideas. It actually ''was'' cancelled the following month... only for the remake ''Opposed!'' to be announced eight months later.
895* SetSwordsToStun:
896** In ep 2, Rena is left in one piece after being slashed with a sword and her own hatchet at the same time.
897** Any time the TimePolice officers ([=HL2=] Metropolice) are defeated.
898** At the end of ep 7, [[spoiler:Spy's backstab on Strength]].
899* ShoePhone:
900** Spy used a comm device embedded in his Disguise Kit PDA since ''CODE RED''. The Disguise Kit was last held by Sniper after Spy accidentally left it behind while feigning a death against Rena in Op/Res 2.
901** Engineer has another on his Build PDA since the CR finale epilogue. He sometimes loaned it out to Sniper or Medic before more of the mercs started to use hat-mounted headsets.
902** Aversion: Proper walkie-talkies are in fact used by [=FemScout=] and Mami. Similarly, Madoka, Homura, and Kyoko have special-use cell phones, though they all seem to run on the same comm system as the [=PDAs=] and the proper walkie-talkies. The mercs have slowly begun to use hat-mounted headsets as of ep 3.
903* ShooOutTheClowns: Ep 2: The two maids are the first to be teleported away by the inhibitor before Rena's arrival.
904* ShoutOut: [[http://superslinger2007.jimdo.com/opres-long-list-tropes/ See here.]]
905* ShownTheirWork:
906** ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica''[='=]s WordOfGod says [[http://wiki.puella-magi.net/Tweets#New_Background_Information untransformed girls can't use their powers except by using a Soul Gem]]. Thus, Sayaka couldn't throw her weapon in Op/Res 2; she had to use one sprouting from her Soul Gem, just like [[http://wiki.puella-magi.net/File:Kyouko_lance.jpg Kyoko did that time]] and eventually does in Op/Res 5... forgetting that her spear was {{nerf}}ed in this world.
907** Second-Homura takes her finger off her gun's trigger at the end of Op/Res 3.
908* SicklyGreenGlow: The force field's glow surrounding inhibitor #2, only visible when a direct impact is made. Spy's special skull knife, as seen in the Christmas short 2013, even has this tinge.
909* SignatureItemClue:
910** Variation: The [[LightNovel/SwordArtOnline Lambent Light sword]] somehow ended up with the Opposition leader.
911** Another variation: [[Manga/CardcaptorSakura Sakura's wand]] got corrupted at some point in 2013 and fell into Black Rock Shooter's hands.
912** Black Gold Saw appears to perform Lili's "Delayed Sundial" somersault kick in Op/Res 3, and then another scissor-kick move in Op/Res 7.
913* SignificantDoubleCasting: In a meta sense, but it would be spoiler''geddon'' to reveal examples.
914** Clues on the ss07 blog after [5161814], Op/Res 3's credit of a "Tumblr [post] that broke my mind", BRS's apparent loss of her TokenGoodTeammate behavior, as well as the timing of ''right after BRS's defeat'', strongly imply that Serah Farron and Nagisa Hazuki, two newly so-called "hostile" runaways, may be involved in meta-multiple casting in terms of {{cosplay}}. Keep in mind BRS had Sakura's wand, too.
915*** The events of [5161814]: overtime would've reduced these characters' hostility toward the team.
916** As a far-less-extreme example, the Otafest debriefings REDUX also strongly imply there's a case, very minor in comparison, for Haruhi and Mami as well. These two characters were in the same flashback in Op/Res 3 in a CreatorInJoke homage.
917** There were at least two more in the works before the original Op/Res's cancellation. They still may be in place for the ''Opposed!'' remake.
918* SignificantReferenceDate:
919** December 15th, a recurring date, was to be the date of The Fugitive (Jack)'s [[HappilyFailedSuicide Happily Averted]] fatal decision in 2012.
920** Op/Res episode 3 and the second local screening for ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagicaTheMovieRebellion'' take place on this date in 2013; The Fugitive even mentions, "For the second time now, I've seen what you become".
921** "The fatal temporal inflection point", a preview of an Op/Res 5 flashback, was released on ''December 15'', 2014 in text form. It depicts Second-Homura's trail-of-blood flashback in further detail and confirming that the Fugitive had been DrivenToSuicide in an AlternateTimeline.
922** "Discovering a secret meeting" takes place on November 14, 2015 and serves as proxy to a mission/outing that Jack decided to skip due to rising fears at the time. It was also the same event where videographers filmed, and publicly posted footage of, a group of people in alleged marching band outfits. (They're actually [[VideoGame/LoveLiveSchoolIdolFestival cafe maid outfits]], but no one told him that.)
923* SilentAntagonist: Black Rock Shooter and Miss Strength in Op/Res, until their defeats.
924* SingleStrokeBattle: The battle in ep 2 pretty much boils down to this if not for Sayaka's HealingFactor and Spy holding back his own backstab.
925* SinisterGeometry: The mental inhibitors, which have handled random events and [[RealityWarper reality]] since before ''CODE RED''.
926* SituationalSword: Stocking's swords are said to only hurt supernatural/spiritual beings a lot more than they hurt humans. They are said to be dangerous to the magical girls, but they do injure Kurisu and Sasha, who are humans, due to them being anomaly characters.
927* SloganYellingMegaphoneGuy minus the megaphone: The spacesuit-wearing protester leader in ep 3.
928* SmallGirlBigGun
929** Opposition Member #2, Black Rock Shooter
930** Kurisu while using Medic's Vaccinator, an unofficial example of a girl with a big ''[[HealingShiv healing]]'' gun. Justified because Medic is OneHeadTaller.
931* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Averted. [=FemScout=] may be the only female merc among Codename Fortress, but the mercs are working with magical girls and, as it turns out, [[StudentAndMasterTeam are looking over other girls, too.]]
932** Also inverted; see The One Guy above.
933* SnowMeansCold: Subverted due to necessity: lack of availability of a snow-covered version of a [=TF2=] map, or in regards to technical difficulties.
934* SnowMeansDeath: The fugitive was DrivenToSuicide on December 15th, 2012 in an AlternateTimeline. Otherwise he would have been murdered with the stolen Lambent Light sword the next day in another timeline.
935* SoaplandChristmas:
936** Op/Res ep 3, set on Dec. 13-15, 2013, gets dramatic near the end because it has been affected by the plot shakeup proposed after the conclusion of the original [5161814] mission.
937** The holiday short 2014. Turns out a message was left on the inhibitors saying "she demands my sacrifice", and the inhibitors delayed the footage of everything that happened Dec. 25, 2014 until Jan. 1, 2015.
938* SomeKindOfForceField: A demonic(?) force field was placed around Inhibitor 2 by the Opposition to stop anyone from trying to WrenchWhack it.
939* SourSupporter:
940** Homura, possibly hinted at in [[https://twitter.com/superslinger07/status/412105461869985793 this in-universe tweet]]. Despite not agreeing with all of the Fugitive's ideas, she wants Madoka to be happy, and in order for that to happen, the Fugitive must be kept alive. At the end of ep 3, The Fugitive declares that [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagicaTheMovieRebellion Homura will eventually become too different]]. Homura is even aware of this, and asserts that even ''he'' should not like what she becomes.
941** Sayaka circa Op/Res ep 3, wondering why The Fugitive doesn't fight; the latter has no weapons of his own.
942* SpecialEditionTitle:
943** Ep 2's title has the second Death Star looming behind it because it's about to blow up an entire planet because of one psychopath named Rena. The Op/Res logo at the end of the credits doesn't feature the Death Star, as it's already left orbit.
944** The intro for the ChristmasEpisode uses snow backgrounds like in previous ss07 holiday-themed idents.
945** For ep 4, the theme music would have been rescored into an SNES style.
946* SpellMyNameWithAnS
947** Actually was an issue while listing the ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'' cameo characters' names in ep 3's credits.
948** [[Manga/FairyTail Juvia]], a cameo character in Op/Res 3, is credited with the dub's spelling of her last name ("Loxar") because an encountered cosplayer pronounced it like that on November 30, 2013.
949** [[Franchise/KagerouProject Ené]] is a minor example. It's not "en-ee" or "een"; her name was marked with an acute-accent E in the Op/Res web novels, akin to "{{Franchise/Pokemon}}", due to [[NoPronunciationGuide Japanese pronunciation]].
950** There was one more in the works, also due to Japanese pronunciation and English spelling issues. Judging by one of the "[=ResMov=] on Christmas 2016" pictures, this may finally appear in the remake, ''Opposed!''.
951* SplitPersonality: In Op/Res 7-8, [[spoiler:Yutaka is zapped by the inhibitors twice and has a total of two similar-sounding characters' personalities added into her.]]
952* SpotTheImposter:
953** Not a major focus in Op/Res 3, but the Fugitive states he received an update over the comm from Second-Homura, thinking it was prime!Homura.
954** In Op/Res 5, both Homuras appeared at the same time in front of the Fugitive, who even asks if a teammate brought a friend who's still [[{{Cosplay}} dressed up]] as Homura after the latest gathering. The initial idea was that only the audience could tell which Homura was which, but not the characters in the story itself.
955* SpotlightStealingCrossover: Unofficial. It seems the ''Madoka Magica'' characters may have more of a focus in Op/Res. This is {{justified}} due to technical difficulties in working with ''Garry's Mod'' to show the ''Team Fortress 2'' characters.
956* StarterVillain: Rena, being a psychopath who the Net Persona's grudge [[TimeTravelTenseTrouble will target many years in the past]]. The fugitive thought it was [[HigurashiNoNakuKoroNi her regular group]] who wanted them dead, but she's member #1 of the Opposition, the new villains at the time.
957* StartsWithASuicide: Both in real-life and in-universe.
958** Real life: Op/Res went into development shortly after the "fatal decision" propaganda of late 2012, where Jack's HappilyFailedSuicide was barely averted by outside intervention.
959** In-universe: For the second-Homura, seeing the man who would become the Fugitive lay dead in a pool of blood made her determined to both keep Madoka happy and prevent the man's death.
960* StealthPun:
961** Just had to put labcoat girl ''[[SteinsGate Kurisu]]'' in a ''Chris''tmas episode, did you?
962** At the end of episode 3, Heavy, who owns [[ICallItVera a minigun named Sasha]], has made [[Manga/AttackOnTitan a new friend also named Sasha]] (NamesTheSame)
963** The soundtrack, [[UnexpectedCharacter "You're Not Supposed to Be Here"]], from ''VideoGame/HalfLife2'', is used prominently in Op/Res 3, especially when [[VideoGame/LightningReturnsFinalFantasyXIII Lumina]] arrives to make her UnexpectedCharacter cameo.
964* SticksToTheBack: Kurisu wears the canteen of Medic's Vaccinator medigun on her back. {{Justified}} because the backpacks of other Mediguns are too huge for her.
965* StockSubtitle: The word "resurrection" is at least in the title.
966* StopTrick: Occurs in Garry's Mod / Source engine machinima scenes.
967* StoryArc
968** The Untimely Invasion (2013-14, ''inhibitor filler'' prelude and episodes 1-3)
969** [[FelonyMisdemeanor ...Like It's a Bad Thing]] (2014-15, episodes 4-6). It is a CompleteTheQuoteTitle; see above.
970** [[CreatorBreakdown Destructive Tendencies]] (2015-16, episodes 7-8)
971** [[DefectorFromDecadence Anti-Fugitive Pact/Fugitive War]] (''cancelled'', episodes 8-10)
972** [[TheDreaded Nor Hell A Fear]] (''cancelled'', episodes 11-12). A pun-based CompleteTheQuoteTitle.
973* StraightForTheCommander: Neither the Opposition or the Resurrection Movement is able to target their opponent's leader directly, so they're taking out the members on the other team in order to flush out the leader. Depending on the side, they aim to either kill the Fugitive or stop the Opposition's terror.
974* StrictlyFormula: Op/Res episodes have been stated as going by this sequence: Setting, randomness, conflict, [[SequelHook twist]].
975* StuffBlowingUp: See Made of Explodium above
976* StylisticSuck:
977** The [=GMod=] scenes appear to be one step up from mere "comic strips". They are animated with very rough stop motion or just tilting characters' heads side to side. This is due to various technical difficulties and stylistic choices that prevent [=Team Fortress 2=] from being used by itself for Op/Res.
978** Even the novels are written in such a way that would be reproducible in [=GMod=] and MMD, with simple Flash effects where needed, on a computer with said technical difficulties.
979* SuddenSequelHeelSyndrome / OutOfCharacterAlert:
980** Opposition Member #2, Black Rock Shooter, who was once an ally of the CODE RED subject Miku. This is [[ConversationalTroping conversed]]:
981-->'''Fugitive:''' Team, she didn't show any signs of hostility during "CODE RED".
982** Opposition Member #6, the assassin who's been shooting down people left and right, '''and it would've been a real doozy.'''
983* SuddenVideoGameMoment: See Retraux above
984* SuggestedBy: The idea of seven people wanting a particular man dead, but appearing one at a time, is essentially what ''ComicBook/ScottPilgrim'' did, judging by the "Acknowledgment to the works of Bryan Lee O'Malley".
985* SupermanStaysOutOfGotham: Enforced, but to a limited extent. If a battle happens inside the inhibitor room, the broken Inhibitor 2 zaps out anyone who's not part of the two major teams.
986* SuperStrength: Miss Strength, Opposition Member #4 herself.
987* SurroundedByIdiots: Neru, Opposition Member #3, toward the spacesuit-wearing protesters she recruited.
988* SuspiciouslyAproposMusic: The song Misa's boombox plays in Op/Res ep 3 may be more than just a mere blatant shout out to ''Scott Pilgrim'', given the idea of "runaways" who don't take sides appearing in Op/Res and the original idea of delusions and fear that inspired its creation.
989-->You crack the whip\
990Shape-shift and trick\
991The past again
992* SwipeYourBladeOff: Happens with the Lambent Light during the homicide flashback in Op/Res 6.
993* SyntheticVoiceActor:
994** The astronaut-suited protesters from ''VideoGame/MoonbaseAlpha'' speak in their distinct Dectalk voice(s) in ep 3.
995** Neru is said to have reverted to her ''CODE RED'' voice (a higher-pitched Microsoft Anna) during her tenure.

997[[/folder]]
998
999[[folder:Opposition/Resurrection T-Z]]
1000
1001* TalkingToHimself:
1002** Ep 2 flashback: [[Creator/SarahWilliams Peacock to Sayaka]] and [[Creator/MelaLee Rena to Rachel]].
1003** Ep 3 flashbacks: Mion and Shion under the solar Death Star eclipse, and later [[Creator/LaurenLanda Squigly and Kyoko]] in the same room.
1004** Ep 3: [[Creator/WendeeLee Konata, Haruhi]], [[Creator/AyaHirano Lucy H. and Misa]]. (Split between English and Japanese in this episode, though all four characters have the same Japanese actress.)
1005** Ep 4 preview and web novel: [[Creator/CristinaValenzuela Mio and Homura]].
1006** Holiday 2014: [[Creator/JMichaelTatum Okabe to France]], and Lisbeth to Sayaka. However, only one of each character pair is heard.
1007** Ep 7 novel: [[Creator/HyndenWalch Yutaka to Princess Bubblegum]].
1008** [=ResMov=] file: Dec. 24: Two young women can be barely seen in security footage at one of the Coldfront bases, apparently discussing a sword that went missing for years. One of them has orange hair and a white dress....
1009* TastesLikeFriendship: Op/Res episodes 3-5 imply that Sasha became friends with Heavy because [[ContinuityNod the latter has a lot of food with him, including Sandviches]].
1010* TheTeaser: Since episode 2, there is a scene before the opening titles. The prologue chapters in the web novels emulate this, as the series and episode title appears in chapter 1 of each novel.
1011* TestedOnHumans: Medic had canonically used his first mediguns (e.g. Quick-Fix) on Heavy this way in "Meet the Medic". As such, in ''Op/Res'' 3's flashbacks, he tests the Vaccinator and a Halloween spell... on Kurisu, with blatant disregard for her safety, before allowing her to use the former for the team. In Op/Res 4, Medic tests a heart-pounding invincibility Ubercharge on her, again with complete disregard [[EvenEvilHasStandards until he realized what he's doing]].
1012* ThemeSongReveal:
1013** For both Sayaka's almost ''witch-like'' condition, and Opposition member #2, though [[{{Music/Vocaloid}} the latter's own theme song]] is not used because she's not heroic, at least until she's defeated in Op/Res 3.
1014** The BRS OVA track "Opening" is heard before interventionary character Black Gold Saw appears, as she was the [[AllThereInTheManual unnamed opponent]] fighting BRS back in that 2009 OVA, too.
1015* ThemeTuneCameo / MusicalNod: Among the ''Left 4 Dead 2'' drum sequence in Op/Res ep 2, parts from "Turret Wife Serenade" and "Faster Than A Speeding Bullet" can be heard.
1016* ThisCannotBe: An unofficial protagonist-teammate version when Heavy finds out BRS is on the other team this time (in Op/Res 3). Then again, Heavy isn't all that heroic to begin with.
1017* ThisMeansWar: Newly-revealed Opposition member #2 suppresses Sayaka's magic and one-shots her. Kyoko unleashes her BigSisterInstinct and tries to use her VariableLengthChain spear to attack the Opposition member... ''[[SerendipityWritesThePlot It fails]] '''[[{{Nerf}} miserably]]''''', subverting this trope when Kyoko is left standing there, wondering why her spear isn't working.
1018-> '''Kyoko:''' [[ThisCannotBe What is this?!]]
1019* ThisIsAWorkOfFiction:
1020** The prelude and episode 1 began with "This series is a {{dramatization}} of actual events" before it was corrected in ep 2 to "a fictionalized dramatization". It also has the following statement, which had been updated since episode 5 to reflect events at the time:
1021--> While this series is loosely based on events from June-Dec. 2012, April-May 2013, and May-Dec. 2014, any similarities to other events are coincidental.
1022** Because ep 3 contains a flashback sequence depicting interpretations of events from April-Dec. 2013 and a post-battle scene affected by plot shakeups, this part goes on to state that "It is not meant to be an accurate retelling." This had been kept in later episodes.
1023** The Christmas short uses the standard "work of fiction" text, as it is an original story not based on actual events, delusions, or the ''ComicBook/ScottPilgrim'' WholePlotReference.
1024** Episodes 3-7 and the first two Christmas shorts add a new separate disclaimer stating that ideas expressed "do not reflect the views of Jack Y. after November 30, 2013" due to a delusion that since ended. "[That local convention and the people there] are really awesome", after all. This has been changed to "after May 17, 2015" in episode 7 and, due to unfortunate events, removed in episode 8.
1025* [[ThoseTwoGuys Those Two]] [[{{Meido}} "Maids"]]: Maid Gunner and Tsuruya who appear in Op/Res 2. They return in Op/Res 4, joined by the RobotMaid named Fujii.
1026* ThrowTheDogABone: In Op/Res 5, Misa gets zapped away by the malfunctioning inhibitors before she can use her Shinigami Eyes on Neru Akita. To be fair, none of the Opposition Members are supposed to die, and Misa isn't part of either major side, anyway. But later, [[spoiler:Misa and Light get to use a Death Note on one of the spacesuit-wearing protesters, even if they had to mess with his helmet first.]]
1027* TimeCompressionMontage: The rapid-footage montages viewed on the inhibitors in episodes 3, 5, and 6.
1028* TimeSkip: Usually occurs between the prelude and each episode.
1029** The biggest so far is from ep 2 (May 20, 2013) to ep 3 (Dec. 13, 2013) at just over 200 days, flashbacks notwithstanding.
1030** The skip from the end of ep 3 (Dec. 15, 2013) to the main events of ep 4 (May 14, 2014) comes second with 150 days.
1031** After that, the skip from the end of ep 4 (May 16, 2014) to the main events of ep 5 (May 18, 2014) won't be very long.
1032** More of these happen from ep 5 (May 20, 2014) to [[RealitySubtext October 4]], November 25, November 30, and finally the beginning of episode 6's story (December 2014) and may lead to another flashback sequence.
1033** Several occur throughout Op/Res ep 7.
1034* TimePolice: Heavily implied to be a remnant of the Civil Protection officers from ''VideoGame/HalfLife2''. They are seen getting thwarted by certain characters in the Holiday short 2014 and are properly introduced as antagonists in Op/Res 6.
1035-> '''Flashback, episode 5 novel:''' The gasmask men seemed like they originated from a dystopian city and were armed with what looked like neo-futuristic electric batons.
1036* TimeyWimeyBall / OurTimeTravelIsDifferent: Unlike her originating series, Homura does run into an alternate self in Op/Res. Due to the intervention of a Combine CP officer, the temporal doppelganger was thrown into an alternate timeline where prime!Homura meets Mio Akiyama during ''inhibitor filler'' episode 1.
1037* TitleIn: Not counting the inhibitor-footage timestamps, dates are shown onscreen throughout the episodes, and have been added in to the prelude versions of the ''inhibitor filler'' episodes. Sometimes, they appear before the scene fades in.
1038* TitleThemeDrop: The ''Left 4 Dead'' theme, as used in ss07's ''CODE RED'' mashup series, appears in Op/Res 3 when the flashback to Heavy, BRS, and Miku is shown.
1039* TokenGoodTeammate: In ep 2, Opposition member #2 incaps Sayaka but doesn't blast anyone else with her big gun, including a glitchy racer girl right in front of her? And then... [[MythologyGag she salutes to the camera?]] However, this no longer applies in ep 3, and this is attributed to the CynicismCatalyst-inspired plot shakeups.
1040* TonightSomeoneDies: [[https://twitter.com/superslinger07/status/542183381945962497 A tweet]] on Dec. 8, 2014 implies that the [[VideoGame/HalfLife2 Combine Metropolice]] would arrest a character in an episode of Op/Res. Such arrest-kidnappings did happen in Op/Res 6.
1041* TotalEclipseOfThePlot: As in the old mashups, once the Death Star causes its own kind of solar eclipse, it may be too late. In Op/Res 2, though, the psychopath'''''s''''' were defeated just in time.
1042* ATragedyOfImpulsiveness:
1043** In ep 2, Sayaka takes out Rena and then goes psycho, which leads to her own defeat.
1044** In ep 3, [=FemScout=] fires at and taunts BRS, while Scout also taunts her. Both get blasted with her {{BFG}} as a result.
1045* TransformationIsAFreeAction: Kyoko's transformation in Op/Res 4 made the spacesuit-wearing protester wonder why he had to wait. The web novel uses this, even though a proposed video version would contain an homage-filled TransformationSequence at that point.
1046* TransformationSequence:
1047** Sayaka gets a short one in Op/Res ep 2. See Shout Out above.
1048** Had Op/Res stayed in full-motion video form, the magical girls would've gotten opportunities to perform homage poses to their own transformations in the two movies[[note]]Sayaka (again), Kyoko, Mami[[/note]], the PSP game[[note]]Madoka, Homura[[/note]] and ''Rebellion''[[note]]all five[[/note]].
1049* TrappedInAnotherWorld: Only on certain days when the episodes take place. With the many {{Time Skip}}s between episodes and flashbacks, the Fugitive still lets the characters go wherever they want as long as the Opposition isn't keeping them in their sights.
1050* TrashTheSet: After the last time this trope happened in CODE RED with inhibitor 1 [[ItsGoingDown blowing up]] from Miku's cuteness (and getting rebuilt), Inhibitor 2 was next seen with a glowing slash across its screen, potentially foreshadowing the inevitable destruction of another old-style inhibitor.
1051* TroubledBackstoryFlashback: For the second-Homura. Ep 3 contains a brief shot of a winter cityscape with a trail of dripped blood in the snow. Ep 5 elaborates on this moment, where the Fugitive [[DrivenToSuicide committed a fatal decision]]. Ep 6 contains the homicide attempt mentioned on Asuna's poster, when the Fugitive was killed by the Opposition in an alternate timeline.
1052* TwentyMinutesIntoThePast: Later episodes take place months before their release date. Admittedly, this makes it tough since Jack is now going around trying to forgive people.
1053* UnexpectedCharacter: Several appear in background cameos (FunnyBackgroundEvent) or, at most, become supporting "security breach" characters.
1054* UniformityException: One TimePolice officer introduced in Op/Res ep 7 chapter 5 has glowing yellow lenses and a hexagonal respirator. Meant to look like an Elite Shock Unit officer from a Garry's Mod pack.
1055* {{Unperson}}: The Fugitive's in-person form, at least according to Baymax's files in Op/Res 7. On the other hand, according to the "Discovering a secret meeting" preview, [[spoiler:Mami has already put two and two together as to who the Fugitive's in-person form is]].
1056* UnreliableExpositor: The fugitive. Like he said in inhibitor filler ep28:
1057-> "It helps that some of you don't have 7 people who'd want you dead."
1058* UnrevealAngle: The flashbacks to the Fugitive's suicide as well as the nightmare mistress's homicide attempt are treated this way. The Fugitive is given a physical form in Opposed! instead.
1059* UnusualEuphemism: At Jack's discretion, the spacesuit-wearing protesters use words such as "bogget".
1060* UpdatedRerelease:
1061** Ep 2 was originally rushed out in Sept. 2013 due to the hiatus and university work. Ep 2 2nd Edition, a version with edits and some rerecorded Fugitive lines, was released alongside ep 3.
1062** Episodes 1 and 3 were re-released a few days after their initial release to fix minor (sort of) issues with the credits. Episode 1 was released again months after its release to make its credits list consistent with then-upcoming episode 2 and further episodes.
1063** Episode 3 was re-released a month after its initial release to fix further (minor) problems with subtitles, animation, and credits. This was the last release to avoid further CapcomSequelStagnation. Further updates to ep 2 and 3 that fix more issues, including a NameOrderConfusion credit and [[OffModel misaligned MMD compositing]], were released on November 19, 2014 in time for the Op/Res 4 novel's release.
1064* VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory: It's a fictionalized dramatization of actual events, but these events are ''heavily'' fictionalized, and all people are represented by existing fictional counterparts (except in the Fugitive's case). However, the amount of anachronistic absurdity, similar to ''CODE RED'', offsets the real-life places and allusions to mere gatherings where a bunch of characters meet up. Even still, Op/Res 5's prologue was deliberately based on actual events on May 17, 2014.
1065* VillainByProxyFallacy: In Op/Res ep 6, [[spoiler:just because Elsa decided not to join the Resurrection Movement after the Fugitive persuaded her to, he decided to prevent Mami and Homura from taking action and let Elsa's sister Anna get kidnapped by the Time Police]].
1066* VillainousRescue:
1067** In ep 2, Black Rock Shooter defeats a turning-psycho Sayaka so the Resurrection Movement wouldn't have to... by ''[[KickThemWhileTheyAreDown incapacitating]]'' her... and no one else. She tries to detransform Kyoko but decides against it and goes for Madoka and Homura.
1068** In ep 7, [[spoiler:Charlotte erupts into her worm form to wipe out ten Time Police officers at once. This is subverted as she demorphs into Nagisa M.]]
1069* VillainsActHeroesReact: As denoted by in-universe tweets about Op/Res ep 3 [[https://twitter.com/superslinger07/status/380059130443997184 here]] and [[https://twitter.com/superslinger07/status/412104851149971456 here]].
1070* VillainyFreeVillain: Serah and Nagisa H. of the Hostiles, just for [[AuthorTract being based]] on [[TheOneThatGotAway runaways]] and being seemingly allied with Stocking, a striped-katana girl who attacked some team members.
1071* VirtualSoundtrack: Lines from songs are used in some web novels much like they were in the ''CODE RED'' finale novel.
1072* VisualPun:
1073** In episode 3, a June 8 2013 flashback has [[VideoGame/Left4Dead2 survivor Nick]] with a LamePunReaction to the two characters in front of him. They are [[spoiler:[[Manga/AttackOnTitan Mikasa]] and [[Manga/LuckyStar Tsukasa]]]]. [-[[DontExplainTheJoke "Oh baby,]] when you [[{{Music/Shakira}} talk like that...]]"-]
1074** In an August 4, 2013 flashback in the same episode, [[spoiler:[[Disney/WreckItRalph Vanellope]] has some vanilla ice cream and accidentally summons a character named [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII Vanille]]]]...
1075* VocalMinority: In-universe, Op/Res features a group of astronaut-costumed (space-suited) protesters who have their own ideas of wanting a Fugitive dead.
1076* TheVoice: The fugitive, talking to the Resurrection Movement via various comm devices. However, he appears in the Op/Res title sequence as a Lego caricature, and is assumed to be the dark-red gasmasked man in the Opposed! remake's announcement poster.
1077* VoicesAreMental: Variation. A character will tend to speak in another character's voice, usually without any switcheroos involved, and ''only'' if both characters are voiced by the same actress.
1078** [[Creator/KaoriMizuhashi Mami]] usually borrows [[VisualNovel/KoiToSenkyoToChocolate Mifuyu]]'s lines.
1079** The doppelganger known as Second-[[Creator/CristinaValenzuela Homura]] generally speaks in [[VideoGame/TimeAndEternity Towa]]'s voice.
1080* VoidBetweenTheWorlds: The black void itself. The donation room from CODE RED (with the star-shaped burn mark inside) has a door in the middle of nowhere. Otherwise, characters walking the void can find themselves at places such as [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 the Teufort bases]], [[VideoGame/CounterStrike Office Building 52375]], or that [[RealPlaceBackground "platform of infamy"]] that exists in real life.
1081* WackyWaysideTribe:
1082** Random inhibitor-filler style situations are in ep 3's flashback sequence. Medic is seen using "spells" as depicted in the Halloween 2013 outtakes. Kurisu is thrown into odd situations and Medic summons a "security breach" character himself just by [[MadScientist being crazy]]. See also Denser and Wackier above.
1083** Then the Hostiles, as first seen in Op/Res 3, show up to distract the team from focusing their efforts on the Opposition.
1084* WarpWhistle / RandomTeleportation: BLU Soldier uses a glitchy Tux to land in random places.
1085* WavingSignsAround: Starting in Op/Res 3, the spacesuit-wearing protester leader was the first one with a sign reading "OPPOSITION KILL HIM ALREADY". Other groups have held other death-threat signs in Op/Res 4.
1086* WeAREStrugglingTogether:
1087** In Op/Res 5, Homura believes that there may be [[RealitySubtext a rift between the people at the inhibitors]], including the Fugitive, Elsa, and Homura herself. This does come into play in Op/Res 6 and was part of the basis behind the Anti-Fugitive Pact arc.
1088** In Op/Res 7, Kyoko is convinced by [[spoiler:Annie]] that there's no point helping the team anymore.
1089* WeHardlyKnewYe:
1090** In Op/Res 6, [[{{Manga/Nisekoi}} Chitoge]] gets kidnapped by the TimePolice. (In real life, it's because [[CreatorBreakdown SOMEBODY didn't do a proper meetup in real life.]] Thank goodness code51515 happened, but it's already too late.) [[spoiler:She gets freed.]]
1091** In Op/Res 7, [[VideoGame/KantaiCollection Yuudachi]]]] is also kidnapped. However, this allows the Fugitive to realize that the Time Police are a threat, probably because he set up the plan himself and made Madoka go through with it. [[spoiler:She gets freed.]]
1092* WeNeedADistraction: The girls use Rena's tendency to react to cute things in ep 2 for "a chance to take that psychopath ''down''."
1093* WeakTurretGun: In ep 2, the Portal turret [[FlashStep whoosh-deployed]] by Homura is just kicked away by Rena before it can fire. Arguably part of the distraction.
1094->'''Turret:''' Why...?
1095* WebcomicTime: Is in effect despite the series taking place on certain days.
1096* WebSerialNovel: Op/Res has become a web novel series, much like the CODE RED finale was, due to technical difficulties related to VideoGame/GarrysMod startup times and disk space and memory issues. It began with 2014's episode 4. The difference is there is no separate blog site dedicated to the Op/Res novels.
1097* WeirdnessMagnet: The inhibitor machines were meant to regulate things such as random events and character cameo influxes. However, one of them was damaged, leaving it with a [[PowerGlows glowing slash]] and a perpetual smoke trail pumping out from it. This means randomness is frequent due to the inhibitor's [[ObligatoryJoke compromised]] structural integrity.
1098* WhamEpisode:
1099** Ep 2. Anime/BlackRockShooter, a CODE RED ally, is now Opposition member #2. She uses a particular wand corrupted by a PowerNullifier effect (stated as the "dark powers of delusion") to forcefully de-transform some magical girls, but [[TokenGoodTeammate otherwise still seems nice]] and [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext is just as confused as we are]]. And then a labcoat girl named Kurisu shows up.
1100** Ep 3: The Reveals come crashing in when Serah comes in slapping Homura in the face. We find out who the BigBad ''isn't'', and just who is looking for the stolen sword.
1101** Ep 5: The owner of the candy cane swords is revealed, and the team finds out a bit of the Fugitive's past in their own ways.
1102** Ep 6: [[spoiler:The Fugitive orders Mami and Homura to avoid helping Elsa fight the Time Police, forcing them to watch as Anna gets kidnapped.]]
1103** Ep 7: [[spoiler:Kyoko is shot into a coma, and so is Black Gold Saw, the interventionary member who last helped the team in ep 3.... as well as a bunch of Codename Fortress mercs. Then Yutaka gets corrupted again.]]
1104* WhamLine / WhamShot:
1105** Ep 2: Kurisu suddenly shows up holding a Vaccinator. She is waiting beside Medic.
1106** Ep 3: Serah Farron [[ArmorPiercingSlap slaps]] Homura in the face. This is prominent enough to get a screenshot in the Otafest debriefings REDUX in June 2014 because of a situation related metaphorically to five "lights in the darkness".
1107** Ep 3: Asuna and Kirito show up with a "Missing: Lambent Light" poster, which means they can't be the Big Bad/Opposition leader.
1108** Ep 7: "All the sons of bitches really expect us to do is play the game." (Annie) and "Why is it that you fight?" (Yutaka acting as Nia)
1109* WhatCouldHaveBeen: In the case of the original Op/Res:
1110** A lot of ideas were made for episode 3 but had to be put into future episodes due to pacing and generally being too busy with the [5161814] mission. Certain {{Troubled Backstory Flashback}}s in ep 3 would have enforced WeWereYourTeam and have pushed suspension of disbelief a bit too far. Downer flashbacks were moved to episodes 5 and 6 for pacing and DevelopmentHell issues. And episode 3's flashback sequence would have been even longer and had [[Creator/MaiNakahara Rena]] inexplicably speaking in Japanese and say [[ActorAllusion a line in Juvia's voice]]; the latter character does appear in the flashbacks due to [[InspiredBy an introductory cosplay encounter]].
1111** Certain four-legged characters would otherwise have appeared in episode 5's flashback sequence due to cosplay encounters. They are ExiledFromContinuity for personal reasons.
1112** Everything originally planned after episode 8 chapter 5, which may or may not show up in the remake.
1113* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Due to quickly rotating interests and the original Op/Res's cancellation, several characters of the random-cameo or hostile-runaway variety wound up missing in later episodes.
1114* WhatIf:
1115** Addressed in flashbacks to explain Second-Homura's existence. The first thing that's shown is a trail of blood in a snowy city during an AlternateTimeline. (Op/Res 5 and "The fatal temporal inflection point")
1116** A tweet lists two "what if?" {{Alternate Timeline}}s [[https://twitter.com/superslinger07/status/523716135506968576 here]].
1117* WhereTheHellIsSpringfield: The setting of Op/Res leaned very close to this with the addition of a real-life "platform of infamy" and rooms like [[RealitySubtext ST 132 and 140]], the former of which was stated to be at a local university during the 2010 COMPROMISE. Otherwise, the VoidBetweenTheWorlds still exists to link the inhibitor room to the donation room, the [=RED/BLU=] bases, and other locations.
1118* WhichMe:
1119** Averted in episode 2. [=FemScout=] was the only Scout active and was referred to as "Scout" by the Fugitive.
1120** Defied since episode 3, now that regular Scout's back. In an episode 3 flashback, Heavy gives the names Scout and [=FemScout=], and the Fugitive follows along.
1121** Because two different Nagisas exist in the original Op/Res story, Mami suggests her old nickname of Bebe for magical-girl [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagicaTheMovieRebellion Nagisa Momoe]] to differentiate her from [[{{Anime/Free}} swimmer-boy Nagisa Hazuki]].
1122** The Fugitive asks Second-Homura to make a nickname for herself, but she declines. This may not be the case in the remake.
1123* WhiteVoidRoom: Black voids, although Madoka's customary white void from ''inhibitor filler'' is seen in the flashback with Yuki Nagato and Italy.
1124* WholePlotReference:
1125** "Seven people wanting [[AlterEgoActing an enigmatic fugitive]] dead", but appearing one at a time, runs some parallels to ''ComicBook/ScottPilgrim''. Enforced with an acknowledgment to Bryan Lee O'Malley in the credits, like the one at the end of ''TheTerminator''.
1126** An "alternate parallel reality" where fictional counterparts are trying to fight each other to the death? Sounds like the namesake series of Opposition Member #2, ''Anime/BlackRockShooter''. Also evidenced by the existences of [[spoiler:Opposition Members #4 and #7]], as well as [[spoiler:that interventionary character from Op/Res episode 3]].
1127* TheWorfEffect
1128** The mental inhibitor machines have proven resistant to all manner of {{Wrench Whack}}s and gunfire, but one sustains a glowing slash by [[NarrowedItDownToTheGuyIRecognize a stolen sword from elsewhere]] like a knife through butter, and even [[SelfGuardingPhlebotinum becomes self-defensive]] from any and all further [[PercussiveMaintenance repair attempts]].
1129** ''[[TheSlendermanMythos Slenderman]]'' was thrown around by time screw teleports.
1130** Rena incapacitating ''Pyro'' implies she's pretty much more terrifying than the masked being. Later, Stocking also manages to one-up him.
1131** Magical girls could be de-transformed by power suppression; someone got a hold of ''[[CardcaptorSakura Sakura's]] Sealing Wand'' after it had demonic(?) AppliedPhlebotinum smeared on it.
1132** Serah slapping Homura in the face. [[NeverLiveItDown The Fugitive's not gonna let that one go]].
1133* WorldOfChaos: Downplayed. The ss07 series' reality is held together by three inhibitor machines in a [[WhiteVoidRoom black void]], one of which has sustained major damage, leading to various character influxes and time-screw teleports. At least TheCity with the big stage in ''CODE RED'' isn't involved.
1134* WriteWhoYouKnow: ...Or met and had wave at the camera at some point in time, except feature heavily fictionalized counterparts with InspiredBy allusions, based on the dark times and beyond.
1135* WrittenSoundEffect: Heavily used in the Op/Res web novels, like in the CODE RED novel before it.
1136* XDaysSince: This ''Team Fortress 2'' decal is seen inside the hospital in Op/Res 1 and 3.
1137* YearOutsideHourInside: In Op/Res 8, [[spoiler:Nova Prospekt is inside an isolation field that causes this]].
1138* YouDontLookLikeYou:
1139** Yutaka in Op/Res 7, who had her appearance forcibly shifted to have Coro's clothes from ''Bubble Symphony''. She then ends up with blonde hair paired with asymmetrical black and red ribbons, and later light yellow and blue hair with her uniform changed into pink with red ribbons and beige-gold trim... [[DoppelgangerCrossover Wait a minute.]]
1140** [[spoiler:Nagisa Momoe]] in Op/Res 7, who seems to wear a disjointed combination of both her civilian and magical outfits [[SerendipityWritesThePlot due to lack of accurate available MMD models.]]
1141* YouKeepUsingThatWord: Whether it's due to misunderstandings about the Franchise/DisneyPrincess thing or the FridgeBrilliance of the Fugitive becoming slowly unhinged, he keeps calling Elsa, a queen, "Her Highness" instead of "Majesty". This '''will''' be fixed in Opposed!.
1142[[/folder]]
1143
1144[[folder:Op/Res trivia]]
1145* AccidentallyCorrectWriting: Parts of the Op/Res story, before its remake, ended up being parallel to these:
1146** The five magical girls are all loosely on the same side, something that was official in ''Madoka Magica: Rebellion'', released in Japan in October 2013.
1147** Soldier doesn't successfully grenade-uppercut himself when he taunts with the War on Smissmas Battle Socks on, as seen as a FunnyBackgroundEvent in a Christmas short released December 2013. In GameplayAndStorySegregation, his regular grenades were not visible before [=TF2's=] January 23, 2014 patch, despite visible shadows on the stockings.
1148** Sayaka was in her uniform for the majority of the episodes and the Op/Res 3 flashbacks. During [5161814], nearly a year after Op/Res 1's release, a Sayaka cosplayer in her uniform waved at the camera before another cosplayer in the magical girl outfit also got this chance. Such real-life encounters influence Op/Res and the like.
1149** Episode 3, taking place on December 13-15, 2013, has Serah Farron slapping Homura in the face. It's retroactive [[CreatorBreakdown (albeit negative)]] influence from [5161814] in May 2014, even though it was only meant to be inspired by May-Nov 2013's lack of proper encounters. However, lucky vigilance during [5161814]: overtime and code51515 (Nov 2014-May 2015) (and the 2017 outings for Opposed!) lessened the severity of this choice.
1150** Early in Op/Res development, Neru Akita, Opposition Member #3, was planned to throw fireballs wielded by a certain virus character from a childhood show. Come the fangame Miku'n Pop, and Neru's attack is a swarm of fireballs.
1151** Certain characters made their cameos, but around Op/Res 3's June 2014 release, character roles were found to have known [=VAs=], in KillLaKill (Mako / Madoka, Azusa, Squid Girl, etc. as well as Mami / Satsuki Kiryuin) and [=TF2's=] "Expiration Date" (Sasha / Ms. Pauling). Miss Pauling's promotion to main cast in Op/Res's remake, Opposed!, as well as Sasha's presence in said remake, implies they will talk to each other.
1152** Op/Res 4's prologue features "a woman in a black tracksuit with her hood down [...] with neon pink and blue streaks in her hair". It was released in Nov. 2014, the same month [5161814]: overtime happened, during which a Wyldstyle cosplayer was finally filmed for private reasons. This would've ensured a cameo in Op/Res had it not been remade.
1153* ActorAllusion: Way too many to list. Some include [[Creator/KaoriMizuhashi Mami sometimes speaking in Mifuyu's voice]][[note]]The sole reason why Mami remains speaking Japanese unlike the rest of the magical girls.[[/note]], [[Creator/YokoHikasa Mio Akiyama]] singing to some Survey Corps (Scout Regiment) members, [[Creator/LaurenLanda Squigly and Annie being with Kyoko]], Lumina wearing [[Creator/KanaeIto Amu's X-shaped pin]] but saying lines from [[WesternAnimation/AdventureTime Flame Princess]], a [[Creator/CristinaValenzuela Homura]] doppelganger (second-Homura) speaking in the voice of [[VideoGame/TimeAndEternity Towa]] (a second-personality), [[Creator/WendeeLee Konata]] rounding up a few people to give [[Creator/AyaHirano Misa]]'s Death Note back to her, [[Creator/CheramiLeigh Asuna being with Suzuha Amane]] while [[Creator/JMichaelTatum Rintaro Okabe is walking around with France]], and [[Creator/SarahWilliams Lisbeth looking at a sword that Sayaka wants her to analyze]]...
1154** Ep 7: [[Manga/LuckyStar Yutaka]] is zapped by the destroyed inhibitor and [[WesternAnimation/TheBatman gets her hair turned blonde and her hair ribbons turned black and red]]. Yutaka soon runs into [[WesternAnimation/AdventureTime Princess Bubblegum]]. Furthermore, [[spoiler:Charlotte/Nagisa M.]] and [[Franchise/KagerouProject Ené]] were hinted to have connections to [[Creator/KanaAsumi Strength]], and [[spoiler:Yutaka is corrupted to look more like Nia.]]
1155** Ep 8: [[Creator/MichelleRuff Yuki and Tsukasa]]'s entourage returns in chapter 3a, but [[NoNameGiven neither them or any of the present members are referred to by name]]. Some include [[{{Manga/Bleach}} a stern-looking woman]] who admires [[Anime/DiGiCharat a dice-wearing rabbit-girl]] and [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog an anthropomorphic peach-colored rabbit]].
1156-> '''Sayaka:''' [[HereWeGoAgain Seriously?]] That's [[DoppelgangerCrossover a heck of a coincidence]], don't you think?
1157* AuthorPhobia: The fact that a "fear/survival mission" existed in real life implies there could be certain cosplay characters written in with this justification. However, there is also a new "[[TheResenter resentment]]" justification for missed encounters that were mostly resolved later.
1158* ChristmasRushed:
1159** The 2013 Christmas short.
1160** Episode 3 "Excessive rotations can prove dangerous" had a lot of stuff [[WhatCouldHaveBeen cut out]] due to a futile attempt to complete it before [5161814].
1161** Op/Res 7's concluding chapter was rushed overnight for an Oct. 17, 2015 release due to an event that day.
1162** Downplayed with Op/Res 8 Chapter 3a. It was released in a shorter form because of its unnamed cameo of a blue-haired girl with a blue vest, a plaid skirt and a red-and-blue ribbon. Said character is in [[Franchise/LoveLive an anime]] with a movie that had a local screening on Feb. 4, 2016, aka "day 96" of a 243-day break. Chapter 3a was later merged with the rest of Chapter 3's pages.
1163* CreatorBreakdown:
1164** A real-life delusional belief about people having "something against me" after a botched "fatal decision" attempt in Dec. 2012 led to the creation of Op/Res itself. In this fictionalized dramatization, this delusion holds true in a different form.
1165** The "GameChanger" outcome of the third ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' film was hinted at in Op/Res episode 3.
1166--> '''Fugitive:''' For the second time now, I've seen what you become. '''You're gonna be too different, and I don't think any of the others will like it.'''\
1167'''Homura:''' No. ''Neither should you.''
1168** There were critical runaways during the [5161814] mission, so a LoopholeAbuse was created there to avoid automatic failure. All resentment was channeled into a shaking-up of the Op/Res status-quo where three characters get branded Hostiles by the commanding Fugitive in the StoryArc "[[FelonyMisdemeanor ...Like It's a Bad Thing]]".
1169** A character suffers a [[BoomHeadshot headshot]] and thrown into a [[ConvenientComa coma]] '''for the [[DeusExitMachina rest of the story]]''', according to the Otafest debriefings REDUX in June 2014. Then more characters are taken out the same way.
1170** The ending of episode 5, as well the entirety of episode 6, had to be rewritten during development in accordance to how November 2014's [5161814]: overtime mission played out. The mission caused Jack to have love/hate grudges against certain people. See also Why Fandom Can't Have Nice Things below.
1171** Events on December 4, 2014 led to ideas that there was another runaway whom Jack has since given up on. This ended up reintroducing the Combine Metropolice as Time Police to the storyline, as well as their commander who last had a minor role at the end of the ''CODE RED'' novel. The latter is expected to be revealed in Op/Res 8.
1172** Mami's allegiance with the Resurrection Movement is being contested. This is because birthday-week fatal decision propaganda (June 22-26, 2015) got mixed in with the fact that someone removed a birthday tweet to him that week, as well as an incident in late August 2015.
1173** This whole trope led to Op/Res's indefinite SeriesHiatus in March 2016 and {{Cancellation}} in April.
1174* CreatorRecovery: Cosplayer encounter influence works the other way around, too. A '''''positive''''' outcome usually leads to characters getting a cameo or a bit of increased screentime. This goes ''especially'' if amends and positive-declarations were made during or after [5161814], or if Jack is actually allowed to '''[[{{Forgiveness}} forgive]]''' them during or after code51515.
1175** On October 4, 2014, Jack met up with Mami and Homura cosplayers that he had met in May 2014... and of course had them do the usual. This happened again at [5161814]: overtime and code51515. As a result, their fictional counterparts are guaranteed not to become Opposition Members, be in league with the Opposition, or turn Hostile as long as the Opposition is still active, according to an Otafest debriefings REDUX update. ''However, as stated above, Mami's allegiance was being contested'' at the time of Op/Res's cancellation. It's strongly hinted that the Fugitive War arc would've involved TakingAThirdOption where Mami forms her own group.
1176** With the help of luck and vigilance, [5161814]: overtime and code51515 had some long-awaited reunion meetups that may reduce the severity of resentment toward certain characters, since the people in question were considered runaways during [5161814]. The Hostiles, inspired by said runaways, may get epiphanies as a result; in Op/Res 7, Nagisa H. declared he doesn't want to run away anymore.
1177* DevelopmentHell:
1178** The video versions of episodes 2 through 3 of Op/Res were extremely delayed. leading to Heavy's "Cold anticipation" statement.
1179** Op/Res 4 was made into a web novel instead. It marked the first of such, but even the web novels started getting delays before getting cancelled altogether.
1180* ExiledFromContinuity:
1181** The bread monsters as well as the conflict against Gray in ''Team Fortress 2'''s "Expiration Date" and webcomic series will not appear in ''Opposition/Resurrection''. However, Op/Res's remake, ''Opposed!'', will contain Miss Pauling.
1182** By default, due to SerendipityWritesThePlot, any character without an accessible 3D character model in MikuMikuDance or VideoGame/GarrysMod (or any 2004-07 Source-engine game). However, character accessories, such as [[VisualNovel/KoiToSenkyoToChocolate Satsuki Shinonome]]'s red hair bell strings in Luka's hair, may be allowed, as long as the accessory can be roughly made into a model.
1183** Certain four-legged characters will not appear due to personal reasons, despite cosplay encounters in May 2014.
1184* HeyItsThatSound: The time-screw teleports sound just like [[Film/BackToTheFuture a time-travelling DeLorean]]. The teleports even have three quick bright flashes upon entry.
1185* MeaningfulReleaseDate:
1186** "The fatal temporal inflection point" preview (Dec. 15, 2014) featuring Second-Homura's flashback to when she saw the Fugitive post-suicide on Dec. 15, 2012. The latter date was going to have an attempted yet restrained [[DrivenToSuicide fatal decision]] that was barely averted by outside intervention just days before.
1187** The episode 6 web novel (May 29, 2015) for yet unexplained reasons.
1188** Ep 7's last chapter was rushed out (Oct. 17, 2015) due to a local outing that happened that day.
1189** "Discovering a secret meeting" preview (Nov. 14, 2015) featuring an unproduced short Mami-focused scene at The Castle (from Op/Res 6) on Nov. 14, 2015 at 7 pm.
1190** Ep 8 Chapter 3a was released on Feb. 4, 2016, aka "day 96" of a 243-day break. It had an unnamed cameo of a blue-haired girl with a blue vest, a plaid skirt and a red-and-blue ribbon. Said character is in [[Franchise/LoveLive an anime movie]] that had a local screening that evening.
1191** Ep 8 Chapter 3c features an added cameo from Chitoge Kirisaki due to her appearance as a Mystery Mushroom costume in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioMaker'' in mid-February 2016. These parts were later merged into a single chapter.
1192* WhyFandomCantHaveNiceThings: Someone who will not be named here went back on an agreement (and essentially broke a promise) in late 2014. This contributed to the negative shakeups affecting Op/Res episode 5. Through a since-diminished love/hate grudge with that person, it also resulted in a new plot shakeup in episode 6. There, [[{{Disney/Frozen}} Elsa]] found herself watching [[spoiler:the Fugitive convince Mami and Homura to stop helping her fight off the Time Police. In effect, he [[RevengeByProxy refused to help Elsa save Anna from getting kidnapped]]]].
1193* WriterRevolt: The plot shakeups that:
1194** Caused [[NeverLiveItDown Serah to slap Homura in the face]] in Op/Res episode 3,
1195** Forced the rewriting of Op/Res episodes 5 and 6 because of the events of [5161814] and its overtime extension,
1196** Led to the events of Op/Res ep 7 and the first half of ep 8 because of an angry depressive bout (code51515 would have brought some light back into the story before Op/Res got cancelled),
1197** Inspired the Fugitive War ("Anti-Fugitive Pact") story arc.
1198[[/folder]]
1199
1200[[folder:Op/Res YMMV]]
1201* DiscreditedMeme: "Sandstorm" answers used in an "ask a stupid question" mentality are exaggerated in episode 4, especially due to the presence of the spacesuit-wearing protesters.
1202* HilariousInHindsight: Lucy and Asuna make cameos in Op/Res 3. It has been reported that these two as well as Okabe were sighted in [5161814] as [[InspiredBy cosplay character encounters]]. And then their dub actors Creator/CheramiLeigh and Creator/JMichaelTatum showed up for [5161814]: overtime, which is just as influential to Op/Res as other outings similar to [5161814].
1203* LikeYouWouldReallyDoIt: Engineer is sent into a coma via headshot at the end of Op/Res 5. The next episode, he's revived with the Reanimator he'd been carrying since before then. However, the Holiday short 2014 makes this a ForegoneConclusion.

1208----
1209
1210
1211[[folder:Opposed! (the remake)]]
1212Most of the tropes in the original Op/Res still apply in the remake.
1213
1214* AdaptationNameChange: Downplayed. Homura's temporal doppelganger from a BadFuture is referred to as Towa, but it's just a nickname.
1215* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Characters appear earlier than they do in Op/Res because of 2017-era influences.
1216** [[LightNovel/SwordArtOnline Lisbeth]], Sayaka's voice-alike friend, appears in episode 1 of the Opposed! remake, owing to an April 28, 2017 encounter and her memetic demand for more screentime. In Op/Res, she only first appeared in a flashback in episode 5 and then in a Christmas special set before episode 7.
1217** Compared to the appearance of someone strongly hinted to be [[Franchise/LoveLive Umi]] in Op/Res episode 8, her fellow friend and groupmate who [[ActorAllusion apparently has a connection to Homura]] appears in Opposed! episode 1.
1218** Charlotte ("Bebe") first appears in Opposed! episode 1 but didn't show up in Op/Res until episode 7.
1219* AdaptationalVillainy / AdaptationalJerkass: The Opposition Members are said to hate the Fugitive so much, their personality went out of whack.
1220* AppropriatedAppellation: In contrast to real life, the Fugitive claims society's been calling him by that word in Opposed!, so he tried to make it an example of NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast.
1221* TheArtifact: There are some from the original Op/Res series (and the CODE RED mashups):
1222** Op/Res's original ThisIsAWorkOfFiction notice, "This series is a fictionalized {{dramatization}} of [[VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory actual events]]".
1223** Opposition Member #5 will remain the same character ([[spoiler:Yutaka with split personalities injected into her head via inhibitor]]), even though MMD character models of various characters have been located since 2013 [[spoiler:including the character it should have been in the first place]].
1224** A big ''Team Fortress 2'' update in October 2017... will not change Pyro and Demoman's status as {{Sacrificial Lamb}}s to the Opposition in the ''Opposed!'' remake, even though the update would fittingly bring 2017-era influence (and new gear for Pyro) into said remake.
1225* AuthorAppeal: 2017-era influences and interests affect which characters appear and [[DependingOnTheWriter how they act]] in this remake.
1226* AudioPlay: "An audiovisual drama", so ''Opposed!'' is an audio drama with visuals.
1227* BasedOnAGreatBigLie: Even more so than the original Op/Res! Extreme levels of real-life paranoia in 2017 led to Opposed! having "New Story" episodes and new factions of fictional characters that potentially want the Fugitive, and everyone protecting him, dead.
1228* BloodlessCarnage: Zigzagged in general.
1229** The aversions all involve RuleOfPerception. Otherwise, we don't know if Rena's hatchet or Scout's Flying Guillotine cleavers hit someone, if Spy faked a death and got away clean, or if the Fugitive's alternate-timeline suicide succeeded.
1230** Otherwise, it is {{enforced|Trope}} by MMD community rules that must have content toned down to prevent 18+ material from being made. Virtually no blood is seen on any characters, especially those who are rendered with that program and composited (and thus cannot be sprayed with blood). This is to offset the frequent gunplay.
1231* BossInMookClothing: Literally with Opposed!'s version of the Fugitive, commander of the Resurrection Movement. He's shown wearing a gasmasked outfit that's essentially a dark red Time Police/Civil Protection uniform.
1232* BossSubtitles: An audio-drama style version of this is considered.
1233* BroadStrokes: The events of at least the ''CODE RED: the written adaptation'' finale are being treated as such, and the original events of ''Op/Res'' are being tweaked with a 2017-era mentality.
1234* CanonDiscontinuity: Not only does ''Opposed!'' remake the continuity of the original mashup series it's based off of, it also axes the entirety of its lead-in series, ''inhibitor filler'', save for its premiere episode, "this can't be happening", and a few ideas like Mami using "[[MoreDakka more gun]]" from ''i.f.'' ep 2 and being Engineer's protege.
1235* CerebusRetcon: Some characters' poses and quotes that were originally PlayedForLaughs in source material will be reused in ''Opposed!'' in more serious contexts.
1236* ChekhovMIA: See Present Absence.
1237* ChristmasEpisode:
1238** The blog post "[=ResMov=] on Christmas 2016", complete with ''Op/Res''[='=]s OnceASeason thing of Spy giving a wrapped-up Sapper to someone. It's LooseCanon, so whether the post is in ''Opposed!'' continuity or original ''Op/Res'' continuity is unclear.
1239** A single picture of a vibrantly-colored Combine officer at [[VideoGame/CounterStrike Office Building 52375]] was posted to Twitter on Christmas 2017. The officer also had one of Spy's wrapped-up Sappers, and Homura could be seen hiding behind the tree.
1240* CoincidentalBroadcast: Episode 1 begins on December 16, 2012, the day of the homicide attempt. And the radio news is talking about it during the prologue.
1241* CompressedAdaptation: Zigzagged. In the remake, the main plot has been shortened into eight episodes from the original Op/Res's planned twelve, but there are some New Story {{filler}} episodes that take place between some of the main-plot episodes.
1242* ContinuityReboot: Ignores the events of inhibitor filler and aims to remake Op/Res with 2017-era influences and mentalities.
1243* DarkerAndEdgier: ''Opposed!'' has more characters wanting the Fugitive dead and more unarmed civilians caught in perilous situations compared to the original ''Op/Res''.
1244* DarkIsNotEvil: In Opposed!, the Fugitive's new outfit is a black and dark red gasmasked uniform that makes him look like one of the sinister TimePolice mooks, but ProtagonistCenteredMorality puts him on the side of the Resurrection Movement.
1245* DefaultToGood: The phenomenon of characters [[AdaptationalHeroism being nicer than in source material]] should make this happen. At least that's what the Fugitive hopes, if these people haven't already sided with the [=ResMov=]'s many enemies.
1246* DefectorFromDecadence / DividedWeFall: The Anti-Fugitive/Dissociates arc is planned for ''Opposed!''.
1247* DontMakeMeDestroyYou: In a future episode, the Fugitive really, ''really'' does not want [[spoiler:Nico]] to make him send [[MightMakesRight his armed protectors]] after her and [[VisualNovel/SuperDanganRonpa2 her new friend]]. [[{{Flanderization}} Guess that heartbeat song from the former's movie really got to him]], and to the character involved, [[StealthPun there is no escape]].
1248--> Knowing [[NoodleIncident your last run-in with us]], I can't have you [[WeAreNotGoingThroughThatAgain making us think you're always up to something]] like [[{{Flanderization}} being a f... runaway]], okay?
1249* DoppelgangerCrossover: Being a ss07 mashup, characters voiced by the same people will meet up. Some of them form the ActorAllusion entourages.
1250* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Invoked in ''Opposed!'' in its own way:
1251** The Fugitive's voice as he first speaks to the team is kept in a soft tone, much like it was for ''Op/Res'' episode 1.
1252* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep / OnlyKnownByTheirNickname:
1253** The mercenaries from ''Team Fortress 2''.
1254** The Lost Fugitive. No one's called him by his real name in months, soon to be ''years''.
1255* ExcitedShowTitle: That exclamation mark is part of the title, emphasis optional.
1256* ExcitedTitleTwoPartEpisodeName: Downplayed. Each episode has a two-word title spoken out loud, followed by a CouchGag where some Morse Code spells out a hidden alternate title.
1257* {{Filler}}: Although Opposed! has been [[AdaptationDistillation shortened]] into eight planned episodes that serve as a retelling of the main story of Op/Res, some extra ones, called "New Story" episodes, are planned to showcase varying rotating-interest influences in ADayInTheLimeLight, or to serve as {{Breather Episode}}s between tense series moments.
1258* FollowTheLeader:
1259** InUniverse, characters begin to form some voice-alike groups of their own after seeing those led by Yuki and Tsukasa, Asuna, and France. These new groups are mostly "aspirant entourages".
1260* FromBadToWorse: It's bad enough that one of the mental inhibitor machines was irreparably damaged, but if the machines start increasingly teleporting in more and more innocent civilians who can't defend themselves against armed enemies...
1261* GoryDiscretionShot: Characters often shoot guns at offscreen opponents due to MMD usage rules. There were already some instances in the original Op/Res.
1262* HellIsThatNoise: The harsher signal scrambles coming from the mental inhibitor machines, when [[YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry the Fugitive gets really angry]], are even more screechy than regular scrambles.
1263* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: Two words in each episode title; one or both of the words has an "ən" sound, like in the words "Opposition" or "Resurrection".
1264* IdolSinger: They have a role in ''Opposed!'' as idol informants, which is more a higher-up KnowledgeBroker than TheInformant due to how popular they are in-universe in their hometowns and such.
1265* IntroOnlyPointOfView: A new prologue has been added to Opposed! episode 1 that takes place just after the homicide attempt.
1266* JerkassBall: Gets tossed around a lot more compared to Op/Res.
1267* LegendaryInTheSequel: A certain entourage formed in 2010's ''CODE RED'' will inspire some characters to [[FollowTheLeader make their own entourages]].
1268* MaliciousMisnaming / NicknamingTheEnemy:
1269** The Fugitive refers to each of the seven Opposition Members by a NameToRunAwayFromReallyFast in the remake, to enforce the idea that these are people who want him dead and must be subdued.
1270** He even starts to use "runaways" for characters who have doubts about joining the only remaining "good" force who's proven themselves against the worst fears imaginable.
1271* MilestoneCelebration: If not for OldShame, ''Opposed!'' is being made for superslinger2007's 10th anniversary relaunch as [=LostFugitive=] Productions.
1272* NamesTheSame:
1273** [[{{Anime/Free}} Nagisa Hazuki]] and [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagicaTheMovieRebellion Nagisa Momoe]] will return in this remake.
1274** The [=ResMov=] will not find any ''VideoGame/FireEmblem'' characters at all in the new faction called Blazing Swords. [[spoiler:One of the faction members in ''Opposed!'' has a lightsaber, which has been noted to be a sword of fire from a Jawa's perspective in an official Star Wars book; plus, another word for "glowing" was required]].
1275** Because TheVoice in the original Op/Res was referred to so much as "The Fugitive" and there had been unrelated Harrison Ford movies in recent years, the Opposed! character's being formally renamed to "The Lost Fugitive". LF Productions, short for "[=LostFugitive=] Productions", is the result of this. That said, the Lost Fugitive will still refer to himself as simply a Fugitive in Opposed!.
1276* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast:
1277** Invoked by the [Lost] Fugitive in the Opposed! remake, who uses (or was given) one himself.
1278** Said Fugitive refers to every Opposition Member by a "The Person" nickname.
1279* NeckLift: In the blog post "[=ResMov=] on Christmas 2016", Kyoko does this to a particular ElegantGothicLolita in "Mann Manor" picture 1, although the character receiving the neck lift might actually be TooKinkyToTorture.
1280--> Kyoko, that's not what people mean by "[[VisualPun hanging]] a [[Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt stocking]] near the fireplace".
1281* TheNewAdventures: It's named "the new Opposition/Resurrection", although this is a '''remake''' (with 2017-era influences) rather than a sequel. However, the remake does aim to go beyond where ''Op/Res'' was CutShort.
1282* NoPronunciationGuide: Concerns about Japanese pronunciation for certain character names will be in the remake.
1283* NotInFrontOfTheKid: Due to [[spoiler:Nico]]'s small stature, even the Lost Fugitive realizes he'd rather [[CurseCutShort cut his own curse short]] when he's reminding her that [[NeverLiveItDown his whole team sees her as a runaway]].
1284* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: It's a superslinger2007 / LF Productions mashup crossover, where characters are generally nicer than in their source material... but if some characters end up [[JerkassBall acting really vicious]], then there's a reason why the [[RealityWarper part of reality]] around them makes them act like that.
1285* {{Portmanteau}}: "[=ResMov=]" for the '''Res'''urrection '''Mov'''ement, according to the Dec. 2016 character renders which were released just before the remake was announced.
1286* PresentAbsence: The radio news in Opposed! episode 1 hints early on at [[spoiler:a prominent group in the community that's missing one of its members]]. Judging by known Op/Res material up to its cancellation, it's [[spoiler:Yuki and Tsukasa's entourage]].
1287* PresentDayPast: 2016- and 2017-era influences will appear in this remake.
1288** In the blog post "[=ResMov=] on Christmas 2016", "Coldfront base" picture 3 has "[[TheCameo a possible informant]]" standing at the entrance, wearing what appears to be a dark blue blazer and a light blue skirt. From that distance, the details are unclear.
1289** Characters who exist in 2013, like [[Anime/KantaiCollection Mutsuki, Hiryuu, and Yuudachi]], might show up looking for entourage members as long as they get dubbed by 2017 and onward.
1290** In episode 1, instead of Homura seeing Slenderman's cameo like in ''Op/Res'', she will see a different random character that the time-screw teleports warp in. The character already existed in 2013 but was dubbed three years later by [[Creator/CristinaValenzuela someone who voiced Mio Akiyama and Homura Akemi]]. A teaser concept picture can be seen [[https://twitter.com/superslinger07/status/827980158300672000 here]].
1291** Pyro will have some new gear from October 2017. [[spoiler:Too bad he didn't bring it when he actually needs it.]]
1292* RandomEncounter: Expect one ''immediately'' if a character comes by and sets off the inhibitor's safety devices, or if the damaged local-reality-machine decides to [[InconvenientSummons teleport someone in]] and cause that set-off.
1293-->'''WARNING: Security breach detected.''' ''Exposure to rotations may be hazardous.''
1294* RantInducingSlight: One happens in episode 1 due to 2017-era influence, and of course the Fugitive's the one who ain't happy. It gets {{Sound Effect Bleep}}ed in the final cut, though.
1295* RealityEnsues: If the local reality machines decide to teleport in unarmed civilians, especially students who attend school in their source series and haven't received any form of {{Adaptational Badass}}ery, they're gonna need all the defense they can get. Especially since there's a bunch of [[VideoGame/HalfLife2 creepy gray gasmasks]] who have made their own warrants for these civilians' detention.
1296* RealPlaceBackground: Averted in the remake. [[spoiler:Unless a New Story episode teased on social media on November 5, 2017, featuring Lucy and Nico, proves true.]]
1297* ReCut: There are plans for Opposed!'s finale to be released in two versions, with one of them being a DirectorsCut with exclusive content.
1298* RedIsViolent: Most of the Resurrection Movement wears red and gravitate toward forceful action, including the Fugitive, Kyoko, and the majority of the Codename Fortress merc division.
1299* ReimaginingTheArtifact:
1300** Episode 1: [[spoiler:Pyro and Demoman didn't think to bring their weapons, even though Pyro would retroactively receive new gear in 2017-era influence. That's why they still get incapacitated by a psychopathic "freak" with a cleaver.]]
1301** The phrase "[[WithUsOrAgainstUs No one runs away and lives]]" will be given new context in ''Opposed!''.
1302** Opposition Member #5 is still the same character between ''Op/Res'' and ''Opposed!''. There will be reasons for this as well as why [[spoiler:Yutaka actually believes she ''is'' Nia]] in the original ''Op/Res''.
1303* TheRemake: Of ''Opposition/Resurrection''.
1304* RememberTheNewGuy:
1305** Miss Pauling, a ''Team Fortress 2'' character not appearing in ''CODE RED'', is featured on the announcement poster for ''Opposed!'', which retells ''Op/Res''. Then again, she did appear in [=TF2's=] comics before "Expiration Date" was made.
1306** Episode 1 implies that [[spoiler:the Fugitive already knows the ''Madoka Magica'' girls]]. This is noted because ''inhibitor filler'', which led up to the original ''Op/Res'', is now CanonDiscontinuity in the ss07 mashups; said shorts included [[spoiler:Madoka and Homura trying to talk the fugitive out of his fatal decision attempt]].
1307* {{Retcon}}: One of the first details revealed is that mental inhibitor #2 is destroyed on Dec. 16, 2012 instead of Jan. 1, 2013.
1308* ScheduleSlip:
1309** ''Opposed!'' episode 1:
1310*** Delayed past April 26, 2017, the date of the Opposition's first onscreen attack in the original Op/Res series.
1311*** Delayed again past May 16, 2017, the Op/Res episode 1 anniversary date.
1312*** Was announced for June before its ReleaseDateChange.
1313*** Announced dates for August 2017/summer 2017 and fall 2017 have also since passed with no release.
1314*** The first two posters for the series stated a release year of 2017. Episode 1 had not debuted as of January 2018.
1315* SecondEpisodeIntroduction: Homura's BadFuture self, who appears in the Opposed! announcement poster as an otherwise AdvertisedExtra. There are plans for her to get increased screentime in the remake.
1316* SecondLawOfMetafictionalThermodynamics: This trope still causes bad things to happen to the Resurrection Movement.
1317** The plot of episode 6, a New Story episode, is heavily based on a major real-life misunderstanding that caused a spike in paranoia and was never properly resolved. It was originally set for episode 3 before a decision was made to delay this plot and swap it with a focus on [[EveryoneMeetsEveryone character entourage building]]; see Too Soon in Opposed! trivia below.
1318** The creation of two new factions in July 2017 during development are "Tears of Joy" and "Blazing Swords" that will show up late in Opposed!. They build upon existing or already-planned ideas for Op/Res, but it's the second faction whose members ([[TokenGoodTeammate save for one]]) will attack the Resurrection Movement. The first faction will do their best to avoid disappointing the team who rescued them.
1319** A third new faction was created nearly two months later in development named "Flaring Meteors" whose members also attack those around them... except it's a form of subconscious [[TheCorruption corruptive]] {{brainwash|ed And Crazy}}ing where they have [[AndIMustScream no control over their sudden viciousness]]. This means unlike the Swords, the Meteors don't willingly choose to claw out their friends per se.
1320* SecretIdentityVocalShift: Variant case that finally gets demonstrated in an audiovisual form. Though Neru Akita no longer goes silent onscreen, she hates her real Japanese-accented voice and all the "This chick doesn't deserve to make fun of jerks like us" implications that come with it.
1321* SerendipityWritesThePlot: Or rather the format. Opposed! will use still images because a particular screen video recorder could not be acquired at the time; also, video would take longer to edit due to technical difficulties that shifted Op/Res into text form. It's essentially an audio drama with the nuances that come with it, such as added narration, but it's half reliant on the visuals, too.
1322* SeriesGoal: The [=ResMov=] must fix the destroyed mental inhibitor machine to stop reality from going berserk around them. And in order to do that, the team must defeat the Opposition to triumph over the Fugitive's attempted killer and shut down their force field around the inhibitor.
1323* SirNotAppearingInThisTrailer: It's a FirstEpisodeSpoiler that will not be listed yet.
1324* SoundEffectBleep: Enforced due to MMD community rules to go for a lower rating. This unfortunately does mean that characters like Stocking have to be bleeped or interrupted with inhibitor signal scrambles, in order to offset the liberal use of mostly {{bloodless|Carnage}} gun violence in Opposed!.
1325* SpeaksInShoutouts: In Opposed!, the Fugitive will start [[WaxingLyrical quoting songs]] and other things from time to time.
1326* SuggestedBy: Opposed! will have an "Acknowledgment to the works of Bryan Lee O'Malley and Stuart Humphryes". Not only is this remake inspired by ''ComicBook/ScottPilgrim'' like the original Op/Res was, it's also inspired by ''WebVideo/TheTenDoctors'' by Babelcolour.
1327* SyntheticVoiceActor:
1328** The classic voice once used for the Vader-masked Net Persona returns as the mental inhibitor systems in Opposed!. It is the 10th anniversary of the [[OldShame really old and embarrassing]] YT account, after all.
1329** The Music/{{Vocaloid}} characters still have roles here, like they did in Op/Res.
1330** Neru Akita will still use her synthetic voice (higher-pitched MS Anna) as in CODE RED.
1331* TearsOfJoy: It's the name of one of the new factions in the ''Opposed!'' remake. How this will play out is not yet revealed, but it's heavily implied there's RealitySubtext behind the choice of name.
1332* TheyCallHimSword: The characters in the Blazing Swords faction when referred to as a whole.
1333* TwentyMinutesIntoThePast: Takes place in 2013-2016, the same (planned) timeframe as ''Op/Res''. But that doesn't mean [[PresentDayPast everything has to belong in that timeframe]].
1334* VerbedTitle: Uses one.
1335* VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory: This "fictionalized dramatization of actual events" is still heavily so. All characters are fictional counterparts inspired by true events, yet nothing takes place in any actual real-life settings. [[spoiler:Except for that scene with Lucy and Nico in a New Story episode, which does take place in a real location.]]
1336* VoicesAreMental: Several "vocally-overridden" characters, those who speak and behave like other voice-alikes, are planned due to lack of character models.
1337* VoidBetweenTheWorlds: Still exists in the remake. A planned OpeningMonologue for an episode would give context to the void.

1341* ActorAllusion:
1342** In the ss07 blog's character renders from Dec. 2016, Homura's temporal doppelganger is shown in [[Creator/CristinaValenzuela Towa]]'s victory pose from ''VideoGame/TimeAndEternity''. She even calls herself Towa in the Opposed! remake.
1343* AccidentallyCorrectWriting:
1344** Yuudachi appeared in Op/Res only because Jack expected a cosplay meetup but couldn't find one in 2015 (which is why she was bait for the Time Police to put into custody). In the Opposed! remake, due to local influence/research in July 2017, this "Poi" girl will likely follow Yuki and Tsukasa, Asuna, and France in getting an entourage of her own, in the form of Creator/LeahClark's characters.
1345** On the ''Opposed!'' announcement poster released Christmas 2016, Scout is depicted in a GoodOldFisticuffs stance (source: winning a Rock Paper Scissors round in ''Team Fortress 2'') even though he and his DistaffCounterpart would always use a baseball bat as a melee attack. Come the Yeti Punch taunt in October 2017, and Scout can actually throw a punch at his opponent.
1346** During early prep for ''Opposed!'', the mercs would use [=PDAs=] that all look like Engineer's or specialized cell phones to keep track of who's the target for their contracts. Then in October 2017, the Contracker is revealed as ''Team Fortress 2''[='=]s official PDA contract device in lieu of a stationary drawer. That said, this device will not appear in ''Opposed!''.
1347* DevelopmentHell / TroubledProduction: Since the announcement poster, Opposed! episode 1 has taken over a year to make, mainly because a paranoid troubled man trying to use MethodActing to portray a paranoid troubled fugitive led to complications in real life.
1348* RealitySubtext:
1349** For a character entourage to be promoted from aspirant to full-fledged, not only must they have at least four members (as established back in CODE RED), but their voice actor must have made a local visit.
1350** No one's called the Lost Fugitive by his real name in months, soon to be ''years''....
1351** An image on social media posted on November 5, 2017 shows [[spoiler:Lucy and Nico at a real-life location, with a newspaper held in front reading "Deja vu". The text with the image said that a slapfight happened a year ago on the day it was posted, so there must be inspiration from real life for this scene to happen in Opposed!, if it does]].
1352* ReleaseDateChange: The public release of Opposed! episode 1 has been delayed multiple times and put on TheShelfOfMovieLanguishment due to [[CreatorBreakdown losses of self-confidence]], constant {{Trouble Entendre}}s including "throwing [things] off", and to release it closer to episode 2. Even in 2017, it just wouldn't be released even if it was finished.
1353* TooSoon:
1354** The content of Opposed! episode 3 was moved into episode 6, essentially delaying what happens in it until later; it drew influences from a very unfortunate misunderstanding in spring 2017 that was never properly resolved. As a result, the events of episode 6, which centered on characters coming together and forming entourages, were swapped back into episode 3.
1355** The ''Opposed!'' series as a whole was delayed partially due to this.
1356** The Fugitive's backstory surrounding [[spoiler:suicide and death in general]] is also a factor in this remake's delay; a VisualNovel released in fall 2017 that is "not suitable for children or those who are easily disturbed" has since gained popularity....
1357* UnCanceled: ''Op/Res'' by association.
1358* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
1359** The Fugitive's first moment of extreme anger in ''Opposed!'' became overdubbed with [[SoundEffectBleep loudly screeching signal scrambles]] in the final cut.
1360** Opposed!'s first episode would've been finished by Sept. or Oct. 2017 had a CreatorBreakdown not happened.
1361** The plot of what is now episode 6 was originally in episode 3; see Too Soon above.
1362** Of all the [[PresentDayPast 2017-era influences]] that do make it into this crossover, a character from a 2017 VisualNovel would've replaced Rena as Opposition Member #1 if ''Op/Res'' had begun its roots in the year 2017 instead of 2012-13. Let's say that someone else has already been assigned their intended role in ''Opposed!'', and leave it at that.
