History Fanfic / TheMiserySenshiNeoZeroDoubleBlitzkriegDebacle

%%* SeeYouInHell: Said so frequently by Yoriko that it's practically a catchphrase.

* AdaptationalJerkass: Beavis and Butt-head are, in their own series, crude at best but too brainless to contemplate actual harm (in fact, they're more likely to hurt ''themselves''). In this story, they've been elevated to violent rapists obsessed with capturing Quinn.

* SeeYouInHell: Said so frequently by Yoriko that it's practically a CatchPhrase.

%%* TheDragon: Yoriko to Dr. Vander Helffen.

%%* GroinAttack: One of Daria and Ami's favorite tactics in this story.

* OfficeLady: The narrative refers to Yoriko as an "office lady" when she first appears. However, it is very quickly apparent that she is much more than that, and is in fact the leader of the NIRAA.

* ArtisticLicenseHistory: The fanfic makes numerous hilarious and obvious mistakes when attempting to document Japanese history and discuss its culture. For example, it presents Emperor Hirohito as a good man who was bullied into a militarist regime by his generals when there is a lot more evidence that the Emperor suggested/endorsed a lot of Japan’s fascist policies.

* OfficeLady: Yoriko initially poses as one to get the Mitsubishi Neo-Zero prototype for NIRAA. Also, she appears to be one for NIRAA, though Guerin seems to think that ''any'' woman in a suit is an OL regardless of their actual function in an organization.

* ObligatorySwearing: Every character in the fanfic swears. For example, Usagi's mother wakes her daughter by yelling "Usagi, you lazy bastard!"

* NoEndorHolocaust: The nuclear bomb is [[spoiler: disposed of by feeding it to a shark. This should do lasting damage to the ocean, but the author assured us it was harmless. Was the shark made of lead?]]
* ObligatorySwearing: ''Everyone'' swears now whether they should or not. For example, Usagi's mother wakes her daughter by yelling "Usagi, you lazy bastard!"

* AsLongAsItSoundsForeign: The non-American, non-canonical cast members have very awkward names. "Amazana Yoriko" is the chief offender, as even the author admits he simply took a non-Japanese word and tried to make it "sound" Japanese. Dr. Helmut Vander Helffen is supposed to be of German nobility and a German-born Nazi, but he possesses a name that is a strange mash of a German given name and a badly constructed Dutch surname, suggesting that a similar approach was taken with him as well.

* WordSaladTitle: The title does describe the story, but in a rather obscure and confusing way.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: The MadScientist dies because he literally ''drops'' his latest immortality pill which is needed to stay alive. Cue a rip-off of ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade.''

* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: Makoto Kino's backstory is retconned from her parents dying in a normal plane crash in canon to her parents being shot down by Russian terrorists.

* ThatRemindsMeOfASong: The Neo-Zero has a CD player (in a military jet? Wha...?), and Yoriko likes to play various songs (which we get the lyrics of) during combat. Weirdly, despite being an immortal Japanese radical, she only ever listens to American alternative rock.

* TyopOnTheCover: The original version of the story misspelled Daria's name in the title of the story. This was corrected in the 2010 update.

* AsLongAsItSoundsForeign: The non-American, non-canonical cast members have very awkward names. "Amazana Yoriko" is the chief offender, as even the author admits he simply took a non-Japanese word and tried to make it "sound" Japanese. Dr. Helmut Vander Helffen is supposed to be of German nobility and a German-born Nazi, but he possesses a name that is a strange mash of a German given name and a badly constructed Dutch surname, suggesting Guerin took a similar approach to this character as well.

* TheDragon: Yoriko to Dr. Vander Helffen.
* GratuitousJapanese: Characters regularly shout "BANZAI!" Sailor suits are called "seifuku" or sometimes "seirafuku", depending on what the author feels like (note that the latter should actually be ''two'' words). And yes, what gets kept and what doesn't is apparently at random.
* GratuitousNinja: NIRAA has spies... NINJA spies. There is absolutely no difference between a "ninja spy" and the other normal spies we see in the story, but son of a gun, one pops up just so the story can work ninjas into its big soup of random Japanese culture.
* GroinAttack: One of Daria and Ami's favorite tactics in this story.

* HistoricalVillainUpgrade: Hideki Tojo is played as a proud Nazi ally who was desperate for the conquest of the world, whereas the real Tojo went through a HeelFaceTurn after the War and issued a formal apology for Japan’s actions (something the author ignores).

* CelebrityResemblance: Did you ever notice that Quinn looks like Renee O'Connor, the actress who played Gabrielle on ''Series/XenaWarriorPrincess''? Guerin has. And he shares that knowledge with his readers. ''Frequently.''
* ComplexityAddiction: Akbar’s sect have decided to blow up Lawndale using a plane going from Tokyo to Berlin… as opposed to, oh I don’t know, a plane from the Islamic States to Lawndale.

* ArtisticLicenseReligion: The author keeps referring to the religion practiced by the Hikawa Shrine (which is incidentally misnamed as the Sendai Hill Shrine constantly) as “Buddhism”. As any Sailor Moon nut can tell you, Rei is a ''Shinto'' priestess. She invokes the wrong gods and sometimes seems to be replicating Buddhist rituals, as well as just doing things the author made up that are very out of place with the behavior of a Shinto priestess.

* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: Makoto Kino's backstory is retconned from her parents dying in a normal plane crash in canon to being shot down by Russian terrorists.

* RetCon: Makoto Kino's backstory is retconned from her parents dying in a normal plane crash to being shot down by Russian terrorists. This serves ''no relevance'' to the story at large.

* ArtisticLicenseMilitary: The author tries to assure his readers that all the planes are fact-checked against a series of information sheets, but some of the more important bits slip through. Like how [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_9_of_the_Japanese_Constitution Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution]] ''doesn't mean Japanese planes have to let civilian craft be destroyed by Soviets.''

** The NIRAA’s scheme for world domination is to use nukes they store at American airbases in Japan. Yeah.

The fanfic received a similarly massive MST led by Matt Blackwell, and can currently be found [[http://members.tripod.com/pink_boy/Guide_Misery.html here.]] The original fanfic in all its archived glory can be found [[http://web.archive.org/web/20101220171116/http://outpost-daria.com/fanfic/the_misery_senshi_neo-zero_double_blitzkrieg_debacle.html here]], in its final revision conducted in 2010. The revision contains minor edits and an apology as to the potential insensitivity of the Islamic Terror subplot.

* DramaticReading: One exists that can be found [[https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLw2kNZr8Zzg6Kk4gGDJsyRrvp86XJ0PCa here]]. Compared to the above mentioned MST, it focuses more on the author’s bad attempts at writing about Sailor Moon and Japanese culture in its critique.

* ArtisticLicenseHistory: The author makes numerous hilarious and obvious mistakes when attempting to document Japanese history and discuss its culture. This is particularly funny considering the author felt the need to dedicate a significant portion of his fanfic to presenting himself as an expert on it. Most damningly is that he presents Emperor Hirohito as a good man who was bullied into a militarist regime by his generals, when there is a lot more evidence that the Emperor suggested/endorsed a lot of Japan’s fascist policies.

First published in 1998, Peter Guerin's infamous {{Crossover}} between popular teenage {{Dramedy}} series ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}'' and similarly popular children's action series ''Anime/SailorMoon'' is difficult to explain succinctly. The plot opens with the titular character of ''Daria'' being drafted by departing Sailor Mercury Ami Mizuno to take her place on the team. Before she even knows it, Daria finds herself in Japan, struggling to adjust to being a (temporary) Sailor Senshi.

Before she even knows it, Daria finds herself in Japan, struggling with being a Sailor Senshi.

Meanwhile, there are ''three'' major terrorist organizations worldwide all independently executing their plans to TakeOverTheWorld. First off, the nationalistic Japanese terrorist group NIRAA led by ex-Nazi Dr. Helmut Vander Helffen and his companion Amazana Yoriko seek to depose the reconstructed post-war government of Japan via stealing a single prototype fighter jet (the Neo Zero of the title). Next up, the Lawndale Militia, a right-wing American para-military group seeks to control Lawndale, Texas, during their huge football game with Highland, Texas. Said high school football game also attracts the attention of Akbaar El-Salaam, an Islamic fundamentalist who seeks to hijack a passenger plane and crash it into the Lawndale High stadium during the game. Said football game also allows for WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButthead to join in on the fun.

While all that is going on, there's also a superhero called the Solar Warrior who runs around doing things that eventually have relevance to the story.

Where do we begin?

Said football game also allows for WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButthead to join in on the fun, except instead of being amusing losers as in their show, they are violent rapists in this story.

Oh, and there's some superhero named the Solar Warrior who runs around doing things that eventually have relevance to the story.
