* CurseOfBabel: [[{{Precursors}} The Custodians]] inflicted this on mankind over 5000 years ago, and caused humanity to lose its original language that they shared with each other and the Custodians. The goal of Season one's BigBad, Fine, is to try and destroy the Curse, which she states is anchored on the moon, believing they did so to intentionally screw over humanity and believed one of them, Enki, her lover, did it specifically to abandon her. [[spoiler: Turns out her attempts at doing so actually screwed over humanity by XV, the fifth season. The Curse of Babel is not a mystical curse, but actually a computer program from the Supercomputer, Marduk, that was inflicted on Mankind from the moon, like she said. However, there was a really good reason for this. This is because the Custodians had a traitor, Shem-ha the Great Surgeon, who attempted to turn Humanity into Monstrous slaves for herself to try and raise an army to destroy the others. After she failed, she converted herself into words and etched herself into humanity's DNA via the original language. To counter this, the Curse of Babel was created to suppress the original language so that she would never rise again. Unfortunately, due to Fine's attempt to Blow up the moon, uncovering the Lunar Ruins of Marduk, and then in Season 2, when Maria Sung Apple, a Piece of the original language to give humanity a chance to connect for a brief moment to save the world from the rampaging Nephilim, jumpstarted her resurrection into the mortal plain.

Neither is what you call athletic and Nastassja, despite knowing how to fire a gun, is terminally ill. By contrast, their elite fighters are Maria, Kirika, and Shirabe -- a trio of young, physically-trained women capable of wearing a Symphogear, i.e., a music-fueled PoweredArmor (three of these things' {{Finishing Attack}}s can destroy a big chunk of the moon).

* OffModel: Episode 3 has a walk scene that looks animated in UsefulNotes/AdobeFlash. The animation studio working on ''LightNovel/BodaciousSpacePirates'' in the same season (especially when Mouretsu Pirates has so much CG scenes in them), plus having the OP single delivered post-haste and a budget slash might explain these animation issues.[[note]]It was fixed for the Blu Ray release[[/note]]

* SuperSpecialMove: There are plenty of ways the girls can access stronger versions of their pre-existing moves.
** The Symphogear wielders can, of course, improve their own moves. Shirabe's Gamma Style Infinite Firewheels has her throw two spinning buzzsaws from her twin-tails gear. She can split the compartments in two to up the number to four and, thus, launch her Reverse Gamma Style: Reckless Swastika Finish move.
** Some of the gears can be further fueled by mythology-related conditions. Tsubasa's Moonlit Wind Ring's Fiery Blades are already a more potent version of her Wind Ring's Fiery Blades, but when fueled by the moon, you can only pray to dodge it. This is signaled by how the spinning blades of the normal version go from burning in an orange fire to a much hotter blue fire.
** Adding new modes to their Symphogears is the most common method. For instance, Hibiki's Spear Thrusting Strike goes from simply being an overpowered punch (normal gear) to a piercing beam able to shatter a Moon fragment (Burning X-Drive gear). Similarly, Maria's SERE†NADE (a slashing move from her elbow) gets boosted in her Ignite Module gear, so it can be effective against Autoscorers who have proven impervious to normal attacks.
** Sometimes, the reason is a combination of reasons. Chris's MEGA DETH FUGA is a fairly standard attack that shoots a couple of missiles at the enemy. Her MEGA DETH PARTY is a barrage of missiles that, in turn, has MEGA DETH QUARTET as an upgrade. When in her normal gear, the missiles get bigger than Chris herself but need more time to charge. When in her Ignite Module gear, there's no loading period and it adds lots of supplementary fire.

* {{Symbolism}}: The series is an (overly literal and very unsubtle) allegory for the power of music to transcend borders and unite the world. In Japanese, the Symphogear wielders are named ''sōsha'' (meaning musicians) and they harmonize with their relics to sing songs that repel discordant "Noise" created as weapons to divide humanity into feuding nation-states due to the moon's curse and the confusion of tongues it generates.
