Tropes common to the series: (WARNING: SPOILERS FOR SRW AND THE FANFIC ITSELF IN GENERAL BELOW!) - 0% Approval Rating - Glemmy Toto got this immediately after he tried to rape Haman.
- Absurdly Powerful Student Council - SRW High gets one in Episode 59 that is a fusion of the one from Ashford Academy and Jindai High.
- Academy of Adventure
- Akashic Records
- A Father to His Men - Bright Noah used to be a borderline jerkass. However, soon after Ryu Jose did a Heroic Sacrifice, he decided to become a better person and became this trope.
- Affectionate Parody - Of Super Robot Wars style plots
- Alternate Universe - Crossed with Alternate History. At first, the universe of the series was that of Super Robot Wars Alpha crossed with Super Robot Wars Z with a High School AU premise, but then we find out that The Edel Bernal from the original Super Robot Wars Z universe almost died after fighting ZEUTH, barely managed to escape to this fanfic universe in a dying state, and what was left of him was reconstituted by Fate to be his personal troubleshooter in cleaning up the events of the SRW High-verse Taichi and making sure nothing would interfere with his plans to build up the ultimate team of badasses to take any threat Fate, Irui Gan Eden or the Ide couldn't take on until they were ready. Before this, the history of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann was changed by Kamina defying Fate successfully, which had the ripple effect of Fate having The Edel Bernal deliberately changing history from how it unfolded in the universes parallel to the SRW High-verse.
- A.I. Is a Crapshoot - Completely and/or semi sentient AI's are regarded with severe distrust in this universe. Albeit somewhat justified, it is revealed the fear of AI's has been artificially inflated, and in one ironic instance, an AI turns on its creator because said creator wanted it to do evil, while the AI in question wanted to be good.
- And I Must Scream - Keiser Ephes and Gauron were subjected to fates that justify this trope, though the latter isn't even able to scream, but he wants to.
- Anti-Villain - Kackrinon Cacooler is probably the nicest Titan on the team, aside from being saddled with a case of Lawful Neutral that makes him side with a Lawful Evil organization, but mostly because Jerid Mesa, whom he considers a little brother, is on the same team. Otherwise, he's actually a somewhat decent human being when he's not a Punch Clock Villain.
- Apocalypse How - Earth went through Class 0-2 more than once during and before the Black History, with the threat of a Class 5 and 6 during the worst parts, and the universe as a whole during the Taichi nearly suffered an X-4, and up until the Anti-Spirals were confirmed dead, the constant threat of being part of an X-5 was a constant problem.
- Asshole Victim - Every Complete Monster becomes one sooner or later.
- Author Appeal - the concept of Irony, historical, game, anime, and literature references.
- Ax Crazy - Yazan Gable. That is all.
- Badass
- Back-to-Back Badasses - Kou Uraki and Anavel Gato got a chance at this in Episode 54.
- Badass Army - The EFA, UCC, ZAFT, MITHRIL, the Alpha Numbers, the Shura, and Londo Bell. The standing forces of the country of ORB are regarded as one.
- Badass Crew - The Dai-Gurren Brigade is the in universe Trope Codifer. Van traveled with one that consisted of half the cast from Super Robot Wars K. The Junk Guild and Serpent Tail have fairly respectable badass cred, and Shiro Amada led one alongside the good guys of MITHRIL. Sousuke Sagara and Ring Mao are the co-leaders of one in Episode 14.
- Badass Teacher - Many canon Super Robot Wars badasses are teachers, such as Sanger Zonvolt, Ramba Ral, Master Asia and Elzam von Branstein.
- Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass - Both Bernie Wiseman and Mashmyre Celloro can be surprisingly Badass when need be.
- Dare to Be Badass - The Dai Gurren Brigade doing this trope not only achieved all the awesome they did in canon, it also convinced Fate to do everything in its power to encourage the awesome of the Super Robot Wars cast!
- Determinator - Arado Balanga. Yazan Gable is a villainous example. The Pervert Force from Episode 14 are comedic examples.
- Four Star Badass - Kamille Bidan went from angsty naive kid to leader of his own army Londo Bell, and did it all by refusing to bow down to oppression, and instead decided to start kicking ass and taking names, and is now leads a huge portion of the resident SRW High badasses, and despite the fact he's just a Badass Normal, he's proven himself such an effective Big Good everyone who joins the team considers him their leader by default. The full story can be found in Episode 61.
- Handicapped Badass - Anavel Gato had a broken arm in Episode 54.
- Rated M for Manly - Ken, who not only kills a Mimetic Beast with his bare hands, but he also damned near kills The Edel Bernal!
- Retired Badass - Everyone from La Gias and the Black History qualify. In fact, anybody who had combat experience prior to enrolling or being employed qualifies.
- Sociopathic Hero - The Getter Robo characters are actually described as such.
- Specifically, The Edel Bernal is one in this universe, albeit as a Type V Anti-Hero. In fact, the cause he serves is good aka: saving the universe, but he often accomplishes this in the most sadistic, For the Evulz manner possible.
- Took a Level in Badass - After Master Asia kicked his ass, Baron Ashura decided to tap into his inner awesome and acquired Charles Atlas Superpower. Kamille Bidan's Character Development is basically this trope.
- World of Badass
- Bash Brothers - In this universe, Sanger Zonvolt and Wodan Ymir are a blood related example.
- Battle Couple - Arado and Seolla. In fact, it's fighting as a couple that makes them more deadly than when fighting seperately.
- Berserk Button - Several characters have these:
- DO NOT MESS WITH Steven Bowie's car. Also, it's wise not use Angel Omachi's real name if you don't want to piss her off.
- Most of the Titans, ironically enough, are only truly effective when these are pressed, as revealed in Episode 61, and even more ironically Jerid's is fueled by The Power of Love and Kackrinon's is fueled by a Big Brother Complex.
- At one point, Asuka had the brilliant idea to brutally insult Rei in front of her brother, Shinji. Shinji's response is to grab her, turn her around, give her a look that absolutely terrifies her, and tells her to shut up. This scares not only Asuka, but the entire class as well. Everyone else promptly suppresses the memory of the event.
- Big Brother Instinct - Ironically, this was one of Ginias Saharin's better qualities and his major Pet the Dog personality trait, until his Sanity Slippage began.
- Big Damn Heroes - Done by Londo Bell a LOT.
- Big Good - Kamille Bidan is the leader of Londo Bell. In a larger sense, Bright Noah serves this purpose for the whole school. Above him is Laker Randolph for the EFA, Maier V. Branstein for the UCC, the Alpha Numbers for the galaxy, and, ironically enough, The Akashic Records\Fate (with The Edel Bernal as his front man) FOR THE UNIVERSE!
- Book Dumb - Seolla once laments this about Arado.
- Bright Slap - Given by Bright himself to Vindel Mauser and General Oka in Episode 2. Jamil Neate gives Garrod the Falcon PAWWWNNNCHHH!!!! version of this in Episode 43.
- Ironically, Bright himself got two of these done to him before he became known for them.
- Brother-Sister Incest - Three cases so far involving Knight Valentine, Rom Stoll, and Kazuma Ardygun. In all of them, each of them have feelings for their sisters beyond that of family, and all three are aware of this and want to prevent themselves from acting on those feelings, and have even founded a support group to avert this trope, with varying degrees of success.
- As of Episode 60, it's revealed the girls formed their own support group, and they decided to defuse most of the focal points of this trope for the same reasons as their brothers.
- Bunny-Ears Lawyer - Klein Sandman and Gen Fudou are regarded as awesome yet very, very weird.
- Butt Monkey - The Titans in general, but specific examples include Yazan Gable. He got his ass kicked every other day, it seems.
- Canon Welding - This shall be attempted as best as possible.
- Char Clone - Played straight in that all of them, including the original, show up, but parodied in that Char is annoyed that his Quattro Bajina look is copied by Elzam.
- Charles Atlas Superpower - Baron Ashura, after he gets his ass kicked by Master Asia, acquires this.
- Chastity Couple - Kira Yamato and Lacus Clyne are almost entirely platonic in their relationship, by mutual choice.
- Clip Show - A few episodes read like this.
- Crapsack World - Earth during the Black History. The homeworlds of the Balmar and the Zuvorg turned into this after they fought a very long, bitter war, though they improved after becoming part of The Alpha Numbers. In fact, Earth before the Black History was kinda miserable for humanity, courtesy of the Beastmen.
- Crazy-Prepared - Project Aegis is basically a massive collection of fail safes just in case The Edel Bernal misses something. Sousuke and Heero Yuy are noted for this in the military hardware department.
- Colony Drop - Terrorists that included the Delaz Fleet tried to break the world, but it was narrowly averted.
- Cool Horse - Trombe makes an appearance.
- Cool Shades - Subverted for Char Aznable and Jamil Neate.
- Cool Teacher - Many of them are present, almost all of them being from the heroic cast members of the SRW universe.
- Conversational Troping - Done by The Edel Bernal on occasion, not to mention a few other characters, but he does it the most.
- Crowning Music of Awesome - "GONG" by JAM Project is used in universe by The Edel Bernal to screw over Keiser Ephes.
- Curb-Stomp Battle- What Sanger and Wodan gave everything Egret Fehu threw at them.
- Dangerously Genre Savvy - Ryusei pretty much (unintentionally, to Ingram Prisken's shock) figures out the plot to the first Super Robot Wars Original Generation game while explaining a game idea to Rai.
- Damaged Soul - The Edel Bernal looks like a God Mode Sue but he's a Damaged Soul who's only being kept alive by The Akashic Records in exchange for killing every Complete Monster he can find, and if he doesn't do it, The Akashic Records will yank away the power sustaining the remnants of his soul, leaving him to disappear from existence. He also has no guarantee he can recover from physical death anymore, so death is a very real fear for him.
- Death Is Cheap - Brutally averted for The Edel Bernal.
- Deconstruction - To make a High School AU possible, a lot of back story is invested into justifying it in universe, as opposed to simply having an Excuse Plot, and since most High School AU exist due to Excuse Plot, this story is a parody in the sense it goes out of it's way to justify the High School of the High School AU trope in universe.
- Deus ex Machina - The Edel Bernal is a walking embodiment of this due to being the avatar of the Akashic Records, and this is even the title of the two part Masoukishin Arc.
- Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu? - Rather, in Episode 29 did Sanger and Wodan destroy a Bergelmir ON FOOT?!
- Divide and Conquer - The Romafeller Foundation's plan to screw over the Sanc Kingdom amounted to this. To their credit, it partially suceeded.
- Dropped a Bridge on Him - Both Yuna AND his uncle had a GOUF dropped on them.
- Elaborate University High - It's described as being the size of a medium sized city, has a ton of facilities that most gigantic real world high school-college fusions wouldn't have justified, as it also doubles a massive cross cultural embassy and a secret training ground for the majority of the members of Project Aegis, and provides classes on LOTS of topics, though they specialize in engineering, cultural, and applied sciences which actually is to the benefit of Project Aegis.
- Elevator School
- Enemy Mine - Asakim Dowin has utter contempt for the Titans. Such much so, he sides with Londo Bell in Episode 30. The Titans themselves side with the good guys over the douchery of Lee Linjun and Schlan Opel.
- Mr. Fanservice: Jerimiah Gottwald and Treize Khusrenanda have a lot of female fan girls.
- Even Evil Has Standards - Asakim Dowin hates the Titans. The Titans draw the line at abusing children and despise Lee Linjun. The Edel Bernal is horrified at what the Radam do to get the Tekkaman to serve their cause.
- Evilly Affable - The Edel Bernal, who's totally evil and enjoys every minute of making people uncomfortable with it.
- Extranormal Institute - The entire point of SRW High, given its supposed to be a crosscultural embassy of sorts.
- Fate Worse than Death - What The Edel Bernal gave Gauron.
- Flame War - Actually requested it be done to him by the author himself if any episode was as bad as the original version of Episode 27
- Fish out of Water - Explicitly used to describe Folka Albark and Duke Fleed, though the latter gets over this quicker.
- Fix Fic - This series, although a High School AU, attempts to address some of the writing flaws found in some SRW games and mecha series
- invoked Fixer Sue - The Edel Bernal was turned into in universe. [[spoiler; Specifically, after his almost dead soul escaped the SRW Z universe, he was revived and tethered to Fate to be his personal troubleshooter in regards to cleaning up the Taichi and gave him an enforced Heel Face Turn.]]
- invoked Foe Yay - Master Asia has a lot of this from Baron Ashura. Yazan Gable had this with Arado Balanga in Episode 46.
- For Want of a Nail - Axis is destroyed by The Edel Bernal which sets the colonies economy back so far that the Principality of Zeon never forms, and it is until the Coordinators decide to emigrate to the colonies do things get better.
- Friends with Benefits - Selena Recital and Sleigh Presty have this arrangement.
- Fun with Acronyms - APS. (Anti Perversion Squad from Episode 14)
- Gambit Pileup
- Gambit Roulette
- Genre Savvy - Ryusei is noted for this.
- Goggles Do Nothing - Subverted for Basque Ohm. They hide disfiguring injury scars around his eye sockets.
- Gondor Calls for Aid - Used in Episode 30.
- Government Conspiracy - Project Aegis is a heroic version.
- Happily Married - Oliver Inoue to Marbet Fingerhut., and Andrew Waltfield and Aisha.
- Heel Face Turn - LOTS OF THEM!
- Heroic Sacrifice - Also lots of these.
- Hey, It's That Voice! - Basis of a lot of the jokes.
- High School AU
- Homage - Episode 49 is a semi-homage to Hell Girl.
- Hot Blooded - This is a series about people from mecha shows. Nuff said.
- Hot Springs Episode - Episode 14, which is an SRW flavored expansion of the one from Full Metal Panic Fumoffu.
- JAM Project - Exists in universe.
- I Have Many Names - The Edel Bernal has two aliases: Black Charisma (most commonly used) and Jiel (the human Edel's masochistic servant).
- I Need a Freaking Drink - Done by Kyosuke Nanbu and Tyutti Noorbuck in Episode 49.
- Info Dump - Somewhat justified, as the story wouldn't make as much sense without the details.
- In Spite of a Nail - Though many events Of Evangelion are blatantly averted, such as Second Impact, many of them wind up happening with the same end results regardless of the altered circumstances such as Asuka's mother going crazy after EVA unit 02 test.
- Intrepid Reporter - What Kai Shiden became after leaving the EFA, and compared to the miltiary, he rather enjoys this job.
- Improbable Age - Discussed and justified. Due to a massive series of bloodshed and conflict 50 years prior to the founding The Federation and the arrival of the Zentradi, the age limit on lots of things like the military, drinking, and sex was drastically lowered to compensate for the lowered population.
- Irony - This series is BUILT on this trope!
- I Want My Beloved to Be Happy - Latooni Subota, Mira Ackerman, and Flay Allister eventually decided to be willing to accept this trope. The first two almost think it word for word even.
- Japanese School Club - Many of the clubs at the school are based after this model.
- Jerkass - Most of the Titans to varying extents, with Basque Ohm standing out.
- Jerk Ass Woobie - By the same token, Basque has a rather horrifying back story he was beaten to near death by Spacenoids that explains his understandable hatred, though it doesn't excuse it.
- Just Friends - Despite Reese Greasewell wanting more, Selain Meneth wants the two of them to remain like this, despite the fact he gave up everything for her. However she has her reasons.
- Kick the Dog - Schlan Opel decided to verbally abuse the eight year old looking Irui. Even the Titans found that disgusting.
- However, the Titans themselves get to be complete assholes even by their usual standards when Ramsus and Dungel beat up Ellis Valentine and Leina Stoll for the express purpose of pissing off Rom Stoll and Knight Valentine. However, for their trouble, they do wind up getting beaten to near death as a result.
- Knight Templar - Laker Randolph, as revealed in Episode 55, though he does temper this with frequent self reminders he's using villain tactics to serve a good cause and has the moral fiber to realize the fact he's chosen to be as evil as the monsters and warmongers he opposes in his methods in order to secure universal peace.
- Lampshade Hanging - Many Super Robot Wars cliches are commented on.
- La Résistance - Haman Khan and Kamille Bidan each led one against the Titans during Jamitov's days as headmaster.
- Loads and Loads of Characters
- Locked in a Freezer - Literally happens to Selene McGriff and Sven Cal Vaya, during which the main events of the Stargazer OVA play out much like the source.
- Locking MacGyver in the Store Cupboard - A really stupid criminal tried to hold Gadgeteer Genius Lowe Guele hostage in an electronics warehouse.
- Love Redeems - Several characters like Char Aznable and Haman Khan have had Heel Realization moments and subsequent Character Development as a result of this trope, and several others like Sven Cal Vaya and Iczer-2 have done Heel Face Turn's as a result of this trope.
- Memetic Badass - Sanger becomes one in universe.
- Morality Pet - Tsine Espio serves as one for Asakim Dowin.
- Motherly Scientist - Lemon Browning is the "they are like family" version to the W-Numbers. So much so at least two of her creations are not only willing to die for her, but also have a crush on her.
- My God, What Have I Done?: A reaction had by several characters, most notably Chronocle Asher after he realizes what he helped Katejina Loos turn into.
- Necessarily Evil Laker Randolph, because he works with The Edel Bernal, and even though he's a good guy, he's not averse to bloodshed (of Asshole Victims) to secure peace for the Earth Federation and the Alpha Numbers. However, as a counterbalance, he shows frequent disgust and horror at his partner's For the Evulz obsessions.
- Ninjas Versus Pirates - Lampshaded and Played for Laughs in the second episode.
- No Fourth Wall - Gilliam Yeager has visited OUR universe and is quite aware he lives in a fictional setup. The Edel Bernal even addresses the fourth wall and the audience (though not as of yet by name) a few times.
- Nuclear Weapons Taboo - As a result of the Antarctica Treaty.
- Obfuscating Stupidity: Laker Randolph has pretended to be an amiable dullard at times to hide the fact he's the co-leader of Project Aegis.
- Old Shame - Kira Yamato regards certain segments of his life as deplorable and the things he did at these times he is not very proud of.
- Only Sane Man - Ring Mao, like Kaname Chidori, is convinced Sousuke is a little crazy, but winds up getting used to it.
- Original Character - Aside from Banpresto Originals, this series will NEVER use an OC.
- Out Gambitted - the female Edel Bernal was running SRW High behind the scenes with an iron fist for quite awhile, but she overextended herself by actually hiring an honest man to be her stooge and it blew up in her face. That man? Bright Noah.
- Papa Wolf - DO NOT mess with Sanger Zonvolt's adopted daughter Irui. It won't end well.
- Pay Evil unto Evil - The point and title of Episode 35.
- Pet the Dog - Both the Titans and Asakim Dowin get moments to do this.
- Psychotic Smirk - Reese Greasewell has one expression like this so unsettling he got the moniker "Undead Man" as a result, which he tries to avoid around his Love Interest out of deference to her. He also sports a more conventional one at one point in Episode 16.
- Put on a Bus: The Fafner and Zoids casts after Episode 40.
- Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil - AND HOW! No less than four Attempted Rapes happen, and all four are averted and the perpetrator either given a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown, or, in one case, one guy gets killed in jail by his fellow inmates in a VERY Disproportionate Retribution fashion.
- Reasonable Authority Figure - Bright Noah serves as one for SRW High.
- Redemption Equals Death - Cuervo Sero thought he deserved this, despite his actions saving lives anyway.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni - Used to draw comparisons a few times.
- Refuge in Audacity - Most to all of the the crap The Edel Bernal does. EVERYTHING the Gurren Lagann cast does falls into this.
- Reincarnation - Crossed with Reset Button in regards to The Tree Of Life.
- Rescue Romance- Subverted for Reese Greasewell, as Selain doesn't feel the same way upon being rescued in Episode 16, though she is grateful for his efforts to defend her.
- Rule Of Cool - Fan of this.
- School For Scheming - Until Bright Noah took over.
- Well, actually, this is subverted and played with, because the evil scheming get replaced by a benevolent scheme that largely supplants the more negative variant, yet in its own way could be seen as no better, depending on your point of view, though it should be noted the more benevolent scheme is almost certainly the much lesser of the two evils.
- Serial Escalation- How many series can be shoved into one universe? Who will The Edel Bernal kill off next in an overly sadistic manner? How much more crazy is Milly Ashford going to drive Bright Noah?
- Serious Business - Yuuki Jaggar and Andrew Waltfield are VERY serious about their tea and coffee respectively.
- Sexy Discretion Shot - Done intentionally in a few episodes, and even lampshaded at least once.
- She Is Not My Girlfriend - Yzak Joule and Shiho Hanhenfuss keep claiming to anyone who will listen they are not a couple or have any feelings for each other aside from disdain. No one believes them.
- Shout Out - Lots of them.
- Spurned Into Suicide - Reccoa Londe was over Char Aznable's rejection of her in Episode 41.
- Superhero School - It's secretly the Project Aegis training ground for the heroes of SRW just in case The Edel Bernal cannot fulfill Fate's will and prevent another war like the Taichi.
- Student Council President - Milly Ashford is one for the Cultural Activities commitee and Treize Khusrenada is one for OZ (the rich kids club).
- Taking You with Me: How the A.I. 1 Core decides to settle things with Eldy Mitte after she kills its human friend Albero Est.
- Thanatos Gambit - Shiva Volkruss and Luozuol had one going to screw over La Gias and allow Volkruss to keep reviving even after his body was destroyed. This was thwarted when Shu Shirakawa decides to Take a Third Option and exploits a loophole.
- Teacher/Student Romance - Between Char Aznable and Haman Khan.
- The Alliance - The Alpha Numbers.
- The Atoner - Quite a few, with Gilbert Durandal being a notable example.
- The Federation - Benevolent version, though not without it's problems.
- The Long List - Used in Episode 30.
- "The Reason You Suck" Speech - Done to Lubikka Hakkener by The Edel Bernal, who basically tells him he's a moron for leaving behind so many angry people in his days of bloodshed, and that as a consequence, he's going to kill him for his Genre Blindness.
- The Scrappy - Lee Linjun, as noted in universe.
- The World Is Always Doomed - Averted like you wouldn't believe.
- Those Two Guys - Mashmyre Celloro and Gyunei Guss have this dynamic in Episode 14.
- Title Drop - Done a lot, usually to emphasize the theme of the episode or episode segment.
- Token Evil Teammate - The Edel Bernal even refers to himself as one for the good guys in Episode 49.
- Tranquil Fury - If Kyosuke Nanbu is in this state, and you are the reason why.......basically......run.
- Unwanted Harem - Athrun Zala even gets very annoyed by it. Thankfully, it eventually falls apart, which is fine by him, as he loves Cagalli.
- Ultimate Universe - Up to Eleven.
- Utopia Justifies the Means: Laker Randolph wants to safeguard the universe so those who want peace can live lives of innocence. As for those who want to screw with that, he's prepared to Pay Evil unto Evil.
- Wacky College - Given its students and faculty are from Super Robot Wars, this should not be a surprise.
- Villain Protagonist - The Edel Bernal, albeit an alternate universe aspect of the original.
- We Could Have Avoided All This - Done numerous times to avert disaster, but the most obvious one is when Earth is wise enough to realize their army is for crap when the Zentradi arrive, hence they let them search for the Protoculture on the SDF-1 unmolested, and this prudence pays off when the impressed Zentradi, who have started to learn about human culture, decide humanity isn't that bad and ally with them, thus averting the entire conflict from Macross.
- Why Won't You Die? - Actually said more or less by TEB when he realizes his attempts to kill Khamen Khamen just don't take in Episode 57.
- Wife-Basher Basher - Judau Ashta saw Glemmy Toto try to rape Haman Khan. His response was a very, very angry No-Holds-Barred Beatdown of the highest order.
- Wife Husbandry - Subverted. Ken did not intend for Lou Roux to fall for him when he took her in as a child, and did his best to avert this, but they wound up with feelings for each other anyway, and both are resisting acting on those feelings so far by mutual choice. Also has some Mentor Ship undertones.
- Xanatos Gambit
- Your Approval Fills Me with Shame - Used as part of a Hannibal Lecture to induce Master Asia to do a Heel Face Turn in Episode 64.
- You're Insane! - Bright Noah is convinced Milly Ashford is a total lunatic.
