** Jwa Ji-Eun is Tsubasa's, being how Tsubasa would have turned out if she was made into an avenger rather than protector, raised with nobody in her life but Fudou, and then left to boil in that kind of environment for years.

** Kir Cheslav Voronin is Kirika's, both of them have issues with their own self-worth, but while Kirika's is just a flat out lack of value in her own self-worth, Voronin's is that his entire sense of self-worth is tied up in his skills and abilities as a sniper.

Samantha Acamporra is Hibiki's, being what Hibiki would become if the events Hibiki has gone through would cause her to [[TookALevelInCynic abandon the idealism she has about the world]].

* ContinuityNod: Chris is shown to be a fan of [[ShowWithinAShow The Amazing☆Singing Hood!]], the title song happening to be a song that she sung one of the AXZ [[OriginalVideoAnimation OVAs]], even being shown in one of the Omakes to been in the Supernatural Forums with her username being a reference to the show.

* ShadowArchetype: The White Noise Unit are this to the Adaptors:

* MythologyGag: Maria, [[spoiler: while looking at a clone of Chris,]] says that her hair looks "floofy" when it is down, a description given by some fans to the alternate universe version of Chris shown in the "BAYONET CHARGE" XDU Event.

* TheUnmasquedWorld: [[spoiler: One of the first things that the Four Horsemen does is reveal/leak the identities of the Adaptors, all of the classified information on relics to the world, and information on the different government involvement and connections in recent events that have occurred over the past couple of years, causing massive PR issues overall.]]

* BrickJoke:During a hospital visit with a victim of a Horsemen attack, Hibiki realizes that Chris acts a lot like a {{Tsundere}} and wants to use this to tease her. Later, while Chris is congratulating Miku for achieving Amalgam, Hibiki teases her about worrying about them by actually calling her a Tsundere.

* ShadowArchetype: Samantha Acamporra is this to Hibiki, being what Hibiki would become if the events Hibiki has gone through would cause her to [[TookALevelInCynic abandon the idealism she has about the world]].

* BattleCouple: Since Miku is now both a Symphogear adaptor and has hooked up with Hibiki, the two are basically now this. Similarly, Shirabe and Kirika have also gone official in the fic and likewise constitute an example.
* BigWhat: Chris and Maria's reaction to [[spoiler: Qiao Cai introducing herself as the new Symphogear Wielder from China.]]

* EliteMooks: The Automen, androids built partially from reverse-engineered Autoscorer parts, are these to the Staples. They are slightly tougher to take down and have weaponry (either gamma-ray lasers or rapid-fire coilguns) actually capable of hurting the Adaptors in their transformed state. Ironically, their robotic nature makes them psychologically easier for the adaptors to fight then the Staples.

** White Noise refers to a steady background sound that can help mask otherwise distracting noises. The [[QuirkyMinibossSquad White Noise Squad]] use a implant known as the Apegear to poach the phonic gain generated by the adaptors songs and ensure they can take on the adaptors on an almost even footing.

** [=DoubleTheFun=], a member of the Supernatural Forums wants to ship all of the wielders with one another. In fact, their reaction to [[spoiler: Hibiki's confession of her love for Miku is to celebrate wildly.]]

* WhyAreYouLookingAtMeLikeThat: The wielders are trying to figure out how to get Miku to activate her [[SuperMode Amalgam]] when Maria says out loud that maybe her need to protect someone might get it to work. Tsubasa agrees but is wonders who would work, after a moment of thinking everyone turns to Hibiki.

** The identities of the wielders being revealed cause major issues for Chris, Maria, Kirika, and Shirabe due to the actions that they took prior to their HeelFaceTurn.

*** One of the forum members is named [[KamenRider555 Kamen rider 555]].

* Chapter 18: Chris talks with Professor Makoto about staying grounded in spite of all of the big changes in her life. She’s careful not to mention what the Horsemen think is happening to her. After Chris leaves, we get this line from the Professor showing that he knows more about what's going on then it appears:
--> '''Professor Makoto:''' Thank you. [[spoiler: Whether sapien or [[DeityOfHumanOrigin sumphonia]], I’m sure you’ll remain human to the end.]]

Distortions is a ''Anime/SenkiZesshouSymphogear'' fanfiction that [[ContinuationFic takes place after]] the events of ''XV''.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Despite all of the experiments that the science wing of the Four Horsemen have done, which includes kidnapping receptor children to test a gene-engineered bio-weapon dedicated to wiping out Finé's descendants or cloning brain-dead versions of all of the Adaptors, they refuse to give the go-ahead to an idea to create [[DesignerBabies test tube babies]] using the Adaptors' DNA.

* LateArrivalSpoiler: As a continuation of Symphogear, many of the major twists and events of previous seasons, like Chris' involvement with Finé and her HeelFaceTurn, Maria, Shirabe, and Kirika's involvement with F.I.S. before joining S.O.N.G., Miku being [[DemonicPossession possessed by Shem-Ha]], are mentioned without much thought.

* MysteriousWatcher: [[spoiler: The Pale Man, an individual who has been watching the events. Strangely only the Adaptors and Elfnein have been able to recognize him, anyone else, even those who he has talked to directly, only seem to recall how pale his skin happens to be.]]

* ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming: The villainous group call themselves The Four Horsemen and they name different parts of their organisation around elements of The Literature/BookOfRevelation, it is unclear in-universe if using the name is meant to be symbolic of their goals.

* ShipperOnDeck: The maids of Tsubasa are trying their hardest to get her and Maria together.
