[[caption-width-right:350:Pictured: One of the many instances of [[GenkiGirl Hibiki]] getting on [[{{Tsundere}} Chris's]] nerves.]]
Even in a series where Hot-Blooded {{Magical Girl Warrior}}s fighting {{Eldritch Abomination}}s with alchemical PoweredArmor fueled by ThePowerOfRock, some much-needed levity can be expected out of this!

* Episode 2:
** As Tsubasa is leading Hibiki to the base:
---> '''Tsubasa''': Smiles have no meaning where we're going.\\
''({{Beat}})''\\
Cue the next scene having the bureau celebrating Hibiki getting there.
** When Tsubasa calls Hibiki to the base again, she puts her in handcuffs, even if they probably aren't needed. There's also Hibiki's scream as she's riding the way-too-fast elevator again.
* Episode 3:
** Genjuro shows Hibiki a map with dots on it.
---> '''Genjuro''': Any opinions?\\
'''Hibiki''': ''[matter-of-factly]'' Hm, lots of dots.
** Ryouko very suggestivly bites Hibiki's ear, causing the latter to freak out. She then drops this gem:
---> '''Ryouko''': Virgins are all the same, huh? ''(with a sultry look'') I want to pop your cherry before anyone else.
** During lunch, Hibiki claims she's "cursed" right before getting a piece of food from two of her friends, smiling broadly as she eats.
* Genjuro dressed as Creator/BruceLee and [[Franchise/StreetFighter Akuma]] during episode 4's post credit TrainingMontage.
* Episode 5:
** The voice actors' very bad attempts at speaking English.
** Hibiki stumbling upon a ecchi picture in a magazine and tries to pass it off ([[AmbiguouslyLesbian while blushing up a storm]]) as picture being for males.
* Episode 6:
** Hibiki entering Tsubasa's room, and assuming she's been kidnapped, due to the utter messiness of said room. Then Tsubasa just appeared behind her out of nowhere... and her usual deadpan expression turn into extreme embarrassment.
** While Hibiki is putting away Tsubasa's underwear, Tsubasa admits she usually has Ogawa clean her room.
---> '''Hibiki''': Ehh? You let a guy clean your room!?\\
''({{Beat}})''\\
'''Tsubasa''':''[blushing furiously]'' You're right, that's a problem in a number of ways.
** Tsubasa's expression makes it clear that she's never before noticed anything untoward about that.
** Hibiki tries reaching out to Chris by telling her personal details, like her age, her birthday, her blood type, even that she's never had a boyfriend. But when it comes to her weight:
---> '''Hibiki:''' Uh...I'll tell you when we're better friends!
* A combination of a too-short shirt, and [[GoingCommando no underwear]] contributing to Chris giving Miku an eyeful in episode 8.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHW2iED_L6U Hibiki's attempts at a crane game]] in episode 9, where she lets out a rather goofy sounding HotBlooded yell and when she fails to get the prize, she says the machine is broken and wants to use her Symphogear to break it ''even more''.
* Hibiki's endless {{Glomp}}ing of a freshly {{Heel Face Turn}}ed Chris in episode 10 and Chris' [[{{Tsundere}} attempts to get her to stop]].
* In Episode 10, Ryoko is expositioning something, while Ogawa tried to interrupt, only to receive [[OffhandBackhand Offhand Backhand, Offhand Kick, etc]] every time he tried.
* Chris' Symphogear Ichaival, (and for that matter, all the Symphogears) [[NoConservationofEnergy can magically conjure up massive missiles]], but [[{{Stripperiffic}} can't conjure up enough material to cover her bust fully]], unlike Hibiki and Tsubasa's Symphogears which seem to manage that just fine.
* The secret to Genjuro's [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower strength]]: Eating, sleeping and watching movies.
-->'''Genjuro''': A TRUE MAN NEEDS NOTHING ELSE!!!
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Symphogear G]]
* Chris and Hibiki are on top of a train fighting Noise when Hibiki realizes that the train is about to go into a tunnel. Their screams of shock are priceless.
* Hibiki and Chris have finished their job transporting Solomon's Cane and hope that they can make it to Tsubasa's concert when Aoi says that a helicopter is on the way to take them there:
--> '''Hibiki:''' ''[Excited]'' Seriously?\\
''[Explosion at the Base they were just at with Noise appearing]''\\
'''Hibiki:''' Seriously?\\
'''Chris:''' Yeah, seriously!
* Ogawa is runing around the concert hall trying to help Tsubasa when he spots into Kirika and Shirabe running around. When he sees them and asks why they haven't evacuated, Kirika tells him that [[BlatantLies Shirabe needs to use the restroom]] when he says that he'll guide them away once they're done Kirika tells him ''[[RefugeInAudacity that Shirabe will do it right there!]]'' Once he leaves Kirika [[LampshadeHanging can't believe that he bought that]] and Shirabe [[ComicallySerious just says she would never go in a place like this.]]
* Chris's very MagicalGirl-equse transformation in episode three. Not to mention the lyrics of her song.
--> Rather than a greeting I'll give you my gattling. You're just trash that deserves a good trash burning. 1, 2, 3 You're an eyesore!
* Kirika and Shirabe are at the school festival to get information on relics and also enjoy the festivities (or at least that's what Kirika is doing). Their disguise so they aren't noticed by the wielders? They [[PaperThinDisguise just wear glasses]] ''[[PaperThinDisguise that are the same color as their gears]]''.
* [[ThoseTwoGirls Yumi, Andou and Shiori]] are participating in the school's singing competition as part of the school festival singing the opening to "[[ShowWithinTheShow DenkÅ Keiji Ban]]" [[note]]Lightning Detective Ban[[/note]] and are in costumes based on the show, [[EpicFail they get buzzed before]] ''[[EpicFail they are able to even start singing the chorus]]''.
* Hibiki's thoughts during the aquarium date in Episode 8 are fairly somber, but it's a little hard to take things seriously with the derpy ocean sunfish in the shot.
** And her reaction to Miku pressing a cold soda can against her face is just priceless.
* Genjuro randomly breaking into song during the training sequence in episode 9, with Chris playing the StraightMan the whole way through. And Chris completely sucking at the training despite being the most HotBlooded girl.
** Made even more hilarious when that song is "Ying Hung Gu Shi" [[labelnote:Cantonese]]Hero's Story[[/labelnote]], the main theme for Film/PoliceStory, originally sang by Creator/JackieChan, with Chris' comment in the background is basically saying "Won't we get into copyright infringement with this song?"
** The training montage itself. Tsubasa is in her own place, Hibiki is giving it her all, while Chris is...borderline keeping up and failing in almost all of it.
* In Episode 10, Hibiki is trying to convince Genjuro to let her out on the field so she can save Miku:
--> '''Hibiki:''' I'll bring back Miku even if I die!\\
'''Genjuro:''' You're not allowed to die!\\
'''Hibiki:''' Then I'll come back alive even if it kills me!\\
'''Genjuro:''' ''[Baffled and honestly can't say anything to reply to that.]''
* Ending montage. Tsubasa complains that Chris isn't calling her 'senpai' anymore, so Hibiki teases her... which led to Chris exploding and reminding her that she is Hibiki and Miku's senpai.
* Both [=OVAs=] in almost their entirety. Examples include:
** Genjuro gives Chris keys to her own apartment so she can have some privacy only for Chris to find out that he also gave Tsubasa, Hibiki and Miku keys to her apartment too.
** Shirabe looms over Kirika, waking her up and telling her she wants them to sleep together. Kirika's response? A very shocked [[VerbalTic "DEAAAAAATH!"]].
** Kirika and Shirabe are sleeping next to Maria because it's cold, resulting in both of them rubbing their cold feet against her because she's warm. Maria's reaction is simply golden.
** Chris is given a DVD for ''Film/{{Equilibrium}}'' by Genjuro as a reward for training. Her reaction to seeing the GunKata play is adorably hilarious.
** Miku looks over footage of her wearing Shenshou Jing and listens to how the song that she sung [[ShipTease shows what her feelings are for Hibiki]], making her almost die from embarrassment.

[[folder:Symphogear GX]]
* In Episode 1:
** Hibiki attempts to [[{{Glomp}} glomp]] Chris on their way to school, only for Chris to hit her with her bag before Hibiki makes contact. And to top it off, Chris has to remind Hibiki that she's still her senior.
** At the beginning, the girls are trying to save a space shuttle from hitting the Himalayas and Chris blows them "through" K2 with her missiles and Hibiki's help. The mission operator matter-of-factly announces that she's filling out the paperwork to list it as only the world's third-highest mountain from now on.
** A bit later Hibiki performs a suplex on a SPACE SHUTTLE!
** Later on that episode, Hibiki falls asleep in class ''again''. Even after two seasons, some things never change.
** Chris is not happy about the fact that Hbiki invited everyone to watch Tsubasa and Maria's concert at her place.
** When Hibiki and Chris are called to rescue people from a fire, Shirabe and Kirika offer to help, only to get turned down by Chris. Shirabe and Kirika are... not happy to say the least with the synchronized responses they have to being told to stay behind.
* Episode 3:
** Tsubasa reveals herself to be a TerribleArtist, drawing an Alkanoise as a poorly-drawn samurai guy. What's funnier is that [[Creator/NanaMizuki her voice actress]] shares this same trait and drew the same [[http://www.inahostudio.x0.com/symphogear/gimg/live2013_029.jpg picture]].
---> '''Chris''': There's avant garde and then there's ''this!'' Are you trying to change your career from "pop star" into "pop artist"!?
** Right before she transforms, Kirika is shown with a BadassArmfold and a ScarfOfAsskicking. However, if one looks closely, the "scarf" is actually just a banner for a shop. What does this mean? Kirika picked up a random shop banner and tied it around herself [[RuleOfCool just to look cool]].
** Right after a scene of Chris being depressed about having to be saved by Kirika and Shirabe... we cuts to [[ThoseTwoGirls Yumi, Andou and Shiori]] singing a musical number about ''beef stroganoff.'' MoodWhiplash? Probably. BigLippedAlligatorMoment? Maybe. Hilarious? ''Definitely''.
---> '''[[MetaGirl Yumi]]''': Beef Stroganoff: You know it from manga and anime!
** Miku notices that Hibiki is looking a lot more depressed than usual after the latter's encounter with Carol. As she interrogates further, she notes that Kirika and Shirabe were put in the hospital for "necessary tests". One GilliganCut later...
---> '''Kirika:''' ''[in a hospital gown reading a magazine]'' I'm bored to death!\\
'''Shirabe:''' ''[in a hospital gown eating food]'' Hospital food is so bland.
** Aoi and Sakuya just finished running some medical tests on Elfnein and reveal that there's nothing wrong with Elfnein...except for the fact that Elfnein has no apparent gender. To which everyone thinks:
---> '''Everyone''': She's unusual enough already!\\
'''Kirika:''': [[VerbalTic ...desu...]]
* Also in the MoodWhiplash department: Kirika offers a bottle of soy sauce at Professor Nastassja's grave in Episode 4. [[FreezeFrameBonus Sharp-eyed viewers may notice]] that, [[BlandNameProduct in place of the "Kikkoman" logo]], the label on the bottle reads ''[[Creator/KikukoInoue Kikuko]]man''.
* Kirika attempts to {{glomp}} Shirabe in Episode 5, only for Shirabe to nonchalantly move out of the way and leave Kirika falling to the floor in a comedic fashion.
* In Episode 6, when [[ClothingDamage a naked Shirabe]] is shown on the SONG headquarters' screen following her fight with Micha, Maria angrily yells for the men to look away. Genjuro respectfully looks away and Sakuya seems to be straining not to look. ...And then [[AmbiguouslyLesbian Miku]] covers Hibiki's eyes as well.
--> '''Hibiki:''' W-Why me too?!\\
'''Miku:''' Sorry, I got caught in the moment!
* Episode 7 begins with a much-needed break from all the action as the girls take a vacation to the beach. Amidst the various shenanigans that occur, here are a few standout examples:
** Chris displaying an unhappy, "oh-no-not-again" face upon hearing that the Gear users are going to "train". It looks like she still hasn't forgotten [[CallBack the last time]] she was forced to undergo training. Hibiki, on the other hand, is absolutely pumped.
** Tsubasa taking something as simple as a volleyball game very seriously and calling it a "tough exercise".
** Elfnein preparing to serve a volleyball like a pro...and then [[EpicFail failing miserably]].
** How does the group decide who has to go get food from the local supermarket? A free-for-all RockPaperScissors match!
*** The most hilarious moment is when Tsubasa makes scissors with her thumb and index finger (which is actually a gun in Rock Paper Scissors terms).
** The MoodWhiplash that comes in the very beginning. Maria contemplates the events of the past, including her miserable state she was as a {{Heel}} in G. She certainly wanted a power to protect those she held dear. And that journey has led her... ''to the beach.'' What completes that scene are her attire and the pose she's in, both ''completely'' inappropriate to the initial mood: the most stylish (and daring) swimsuit of the six Symphogears, and a rather alluring ContrappostoPose.
* Episode 8:
** Kirika playing the vending machine lottery and getting bitter coffee, which she hates. Turns into a heartwarming moment when Shirabe swaps their cans, stating that she doesn't mind black coffee and then later, in contrast to that above tender moment, Shirabe and Kirika having a quarrel halfway through the episode. Lampshaded by Miku and Hibiki, who point out how rare it is for those two to fight.
** Also a quick moment from when Kirika and Shirabe activate their [[SuperMode IGNITE modules.]]
---> '''Kirika & Shirabe:''' ''Bakken!''\\
'''Kirika:''' ''[[VerbalTic ...desu!]]''
* Dr Ver's hamtastic return is both this and a moment of awesome for him at the end of episode 9, but what really sells it is Carol's "What the fuck" look on her face, showing just how out of left field it is.
* Episode 10:
** At the beginning of the episode, we get to see Kirika and Shirabe's reactions to Dr. Ver's return. It's priceless.
** Chris' "Red Hot Blaze" move during her fight against Leiur, which involves Chris using a ''sniper rifle'' as a melee weapon. Even Leiur is surprised!
* Episode 13's final battle:
** Kirika and Shirabe merge their Symphogears into a rather... [[FlyingSaucer familiar-looking form.]] Complete with [[https://youtu.be/qHK4YjgDV9s?t=1m32s an old-school 'alien' sound]] in the background!
** Hibiki describes a summer festival to Elfnein and quips that Maria's Airgetlam jingles whenever she gets excited. Maria refutes this claim by saying that the jingle would sound better from the Ame-no-Habakiri, to which everyone starts laughing. Tsubasa is clearly not pleased.
---> '''Tsubasa:''' "I now understand exactly what you all think of the Ame-no-Habakiri..."
** Later on, Shirabe and Kirika do summer homework and learn the hard way that their senpai Chris can slack off due to having good grades.
---> '''Chris:''' I may not look it, but I get pretty good grades.\\
'''Shirabe:''' No way!\\
'''Chris:''' *DeathGlare*
* In the GX OVA, the FIS Children are shown absolutely loving the prison food they are given.[[note]] The G OVA shows them barely being fed and them having to scrimp and save to buy food.[[/note]] So much that Maria thought of withholding information so they can continue eating them. A later short has Tsubasa mention how more well rounded the trio are. She meant their character but they took it as them getting fatter.
* The entirety of the third GX OVA, which focuses on Carol and the Autoscorers. Some highlights include:
** The Autoscorers' personalities being based on Carol's subconscious, meaning that their various character tics (such as their crazy facial expressions and poses) are things that Carol secretly wants to do.
** The skit about Garie's public displays of affection. It begins with Garie kissing both Lieur and Phara in order to awaken them and Carol having a very scandalized reaction and saying that Garie should tone down the PDA. Cheekily, [[{{Troll}} Garie]] replies that since their personalities are based on Carol's subconscious, then the PDA must've been Carol's idea to begin with. Carol immediately tells Garie to shut up.
** The skits involving Carol "relieving" Elfnein of her duties. As seen in the series, Carol can see what Elfnein sees and Carol's expression can only be described as [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe utter exasperation]] when she sees that Elfnein is busy cleaning her room before she departs in order to make the life of whoever might replace her easier. Then in order to speed up Elfnein's departure, Carol orders Lieur to chase Elfnein out but Lieur initially refuses because seeing Elfnein's [[EpicFail various trip-ups]] has her actually ''feeling sorry'' for the poor kid. Carol then tells Lieur that she doesn't remember installing a sympathy node into the Autoscorers.
* In the fourth OVA, Chris actually acts like a {{Troll}} in one of the skits where she asks Tsubasa what each of them would look like if they switched Symphogears. Chris has an ImagineSpot of Tsubasa wearing Ichaival (complete with Tsubasa yelling out "YASSAI MOSSAI!") and Chris holds back her laughter while Tsubasa [[LuminescentBlush blushes furiously]] out of sheer embarrassment. For that matter, Chris imagining herself wearing different Symphogears. She first imagines herself in Hibiki's Gungnir (complete with her yelling "Rice and more rice!", Hibiki's favorite food) before deciding that yellow isn't her color. Then she imagines herself in Shirabe's Shul Shagana (complete with "That's why you're a hypocrite") and Kirika's Igalima (while cheerfully yelling out "[[VerbalTic DESU! DESU!]] ''[[VerbalTic DESU!]]''). [[CheshireCatGrin Her subsequent expression]] scares both Kirika and Shirabe.
--> '''Shirabe''': W-What's with her?\\
'''Kirika''': I'm not liking the look she has on her face!
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Symphogear AXZ]]
* A minor detail in the opening, but in contrast to the otherwise more serious training shots of Tsubasa, Chris, Shirabe, Kirika, and Maria, Hibiki is shown partaking in her favorite pastime of practicing her kung-fu moves with Genjuro... [[RunningGag while watching action movies]].
* Episode 1:
** The beginning has Hibiki worrying about every student's worst nightmare: summer homework. Then, as Hibiki begs Miku to help her, Chris, Shirabe, and Kirika interrupt the moment by showing up in a helicopter. The girls then try to talk to each other over the sound of the helicopter, with Kirika's drowned-out dialogue is replaced by [[VerbalTic 'DESS DESS DESS']], before Chris gets fed up and throws her shoe at Hibiki. What makes this scene even better is that this is how the episode ''starts''. Instead of starting things off with an action-packed intro like the first three seasons, you get the girls acting as they always do. Our heroines, ladies and gentlemen.
** Hibiki reassuring Kirika and Shirabe that they are still contributing to SONG even though they can't always fight with their Gears would be a heartwarming moment...if it weren't for the fact that 1) all of them are naked and coming out of the shower, and 2) Hibiki is holding Kirika's hand as she says this, which elicits a jealous, vocalized [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/senkizesshousymphogear/images/2/2a/Symphogear_AXZ_Ep_1_16.jpg/ stare]] from Shirabe.
** When Aoi and Sakuya are being chased by a giant alchemical serpent, Genjuro tells them to escape, [[MemeticMutation even if it kills them]]. Sakuya points out the flawed logic of that order.
* The co-pilot of a plane, currently being chased by a legion of Noise, taking time to point out the girls on the runway (Kirika and Shirabe) are cute.
* Saint-Germain reawakening Tiki in Episode 3 has this amusing little exchange:
--> '''Tiki''': Saint-Germain? It's been four hundred years, but you haven't changed a bit!\\
'''Saint-Germain''': That's right. The times may change, but I do not.\\
'''Tiki''': So, you're still always going on about boring stuff like freeing mankind from the yoke of oppression?
* The brief montage of the girls returning to school in the same episode has one amusing moment of realism. Hibiki may have been looking awesome while kicking loads of ass on the other side of the world for the past couple of episodes, but at what cost? She didn't have enough time to finish her summer homework.
* Episode 4:
** Adam makes his on-screen debut in... and just randomly gets naked for it.
** And earlier in the episode, there is a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment, but Tiki first shows up she's reading a manga. Yes, an Autoscorer made by the BigBad to observe and record the motions of the planets...[[http://symphogear.wikia.com/wiki/File:Tiki_reading_manga.png is reading shoujo manga]]. The very idea is as ridiculous as it sounds.
* Cagliostro calling Maria, Shirabe, and Kirika "Team Neapolitan" (as in the ice cream) because of the respective colors of their hair. [[note]]To those who understand Japanese, the original joke proves to be even funnier as Cagliostro calls them "Sanshoku Dango", a sweet treat in Japan that is comprised of three mochi-like dumplings that come in assorted colors, [[https://www.bob-an.com/recipes/img/jpg_large/05610.jpg like so]].[[/note]]
* The group manages to find a possible countermeasure to the Philosopher's Stone through a scab of waste material from when Hibiki was merged with the Gungnir relic. For convenience's sake, Chris dubs it the "[[StealthInsult Fool's]] Stone", a name that eventually sticks. Hibiki is less than enthusiastic.
* The main website for ''AXZ'' has a section called "Keywords" which give details on important things in the show like what [=LiNKER=] is or giving details on the villains. Occasionally, however, there will be special "joke" keywords that are there for no real purpose other than simply for providing levity. Case in point, [[http://www.symphogear-axz.com/keywords/key19.php this keyword]], which roughly translates to:
--> ''The Standards of Cuteness''\\
\\
''There are people who like dogs, and people who like cats.''\\
''Everybody is unique.''
* Episode 6 has an unbelievable FreezeFrameBonus. A sign has the lyrics for [[Music/RickAstley Rick Astley's]] "[[JustForFun/{{Rickroll}} Never Gonna Give You Up]]". [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer No, we aren't making]] [[https://symphogear.fandom.com/wiki/AXZ_Episode_6#Trivia this up]].
* Episode 8:
** In the brief training scene, each of the girls [[CurbStompBattle get their respective asses handed to them]] by Genjuro. That's six girls equipped with armor imbued with the power of song who are able to go toe-to-toe with the likes of alien eldritch abominations, entire armies, automated dolls, and long-lived alchemists with supernatural powers...[[http://dai.ly/x5xffea?start=70 all taken down within the span of a little under two minutes]] by one man.
** Another blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment, but the title of the mixtape Genjuro brings out at the end of the clip above indicates that [[ContinuityNod it's the same song he and Hibiki sung]] during the training sequence back in ''G''. We only get glimpses of the girls' training afterwards, but it's very much implied that this song, in all of its hilarity, is once again playing in the background.
* Episode 9 reveals that Hibiki, Chris, and Kirika have one thing in common: [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/senkizesshousymphogear/images/c/c8/Symphogear_AXZ_Episode_9_17.png they're all very messy sleepers]].
* Though it's meant to be a very somber scene as Prelati is drinking in honor of her fallen comrade Cagliostro, there's just something funny about the fact that she's drinking ''milk'' out of a wine glass.
* This line from Genjuro when he and the rest of S.O.N.G. commence their operation to return Hibiki to normal.
--> '''Genjuro''': All right! Time to throw Hibiki a birthday party she'll never forget!
* Hibiki being possessed by the divine power in Episode 12 is rightfully serious...until the trucks of anti-[=LiNKER=] shoot her right in her giant jiggly ass.
* This translated line from Cagliostro, given no context:
--> '''Cagliostro''': Honestly, I'd rather ram this thing up the Lodgemaster's ass.
* The finale:
** Maria [[OutOfCharacterMoment makes Tsubasa squee like a schoolgirl]] by feeding her a delicious tomato at the celebratory feast.
---> '''Shirabe''': [[LampshadeHanging It's so good the surprise broke her character.]]
** Tsubasa is later seen washing dishes while stacking the dishes in a manner that would otherwise be impractical and impossible to replicate in real life. [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/senkizesshousymphogear/images/4/49/Symphogear_AXZ_Episode_13_45.png Chris can only look on in disbelief.]]

[[folder:Symphogear XV]]
'''Episode 1:'''
* Once the crew arrive at the designated drop-point, the chopper doors open and Hibiki gets utterly floored by the arctic cold, wondering out loud where the supposed "southern hemisphere summer" went. Chris aptly responds.
--> '''Chris''': It's the South ''Pole''. It's cold even in the summer.
* Hibiki is so happy she passed her music class she tries to hug her teacher, only for the teacher to nonchalantly dodge her.
* Just as Chris is about to shoot the Custodian in its only weak spot, Hibiki brings up that the former's birthday is coming, only for Chris to snap back that saying such things is a jinx.
'''Episode 2:'''
* Hibiki teases Chris about the cold weather and the warmth of the glove she and Miku bought for Chris' birthday present. Chris, as usual being HairTriggerTemper, whacks Hibiki's head with her bookbag.
'''Episode 3:'''
* A biker gang spots Millaarc and Elsa making a deal, so how does the villainous duo decide to deal with them in this situation? By summoning Alca-noise that chase after the gang by riding on ''segways''!
* When the contents of Elsa's briefcase are revealed to be bags of blood, Shirabe thinks it's ketchup and Kirika wonders why they wanted Barbecue sauce.
* Kirika tells Shirabe since the Alchemists are looking for blood, they should guard the hospitals and blood banks. Just as Shirabe says there's no way they would show up so openly, they notice that Millaarc is hovering the hospital right in front of them.
* What does Kirika say to Millaarc about her activities as the fight between them begin?
--> '''Kirika''': Your actions are illegal under some law whose name I can't remember!
'''Episode 4:'''
* Vanessa [[IHaveBoobsYouMustObey seducing Hibiki]] in order to distract the latter. Hibiki, despite being flustered and embarrassed, didn't even try to cover her eyes.
--> '''Vanessa:''' [[ISurrenderSuckers I surrender.]] I don't think we can beat you in a straight-up fight. ''[Starts walking forward while emphasizing her breasts]'' Let's come to an understanding.\\
'''[[AmbiguouslyLesbian Hibiki]]:''' ''[Blushing and waving her hands]'' I don't want to come to ''that'' kind of understanding!\\
'''Vanessa:''' ''[Unzips her jacket]''\\
'''Hibiki:''' ''[Puts her hands on her face to "cover" her eyes but she peeks through her fingers anyway while still blushing]''\\
'''Vanessa:''' Just kidding. ''[She proceeds to fire two missiles at Hibiki.]''
'''Episode 5:'''
* As S.O.N.G.is inspected and the Symphogear ponder what to do, Kirika says there's no way they can relax now, [[HypocriticalHumor while holding a travel magazine]].
--> '''Everyone Else:''' [[UnsoundEffect Jiiiiii.]]
'''Episode 7:'''
* Sakuya gives a high-pitched scream when he sees Garie and Leiur on the screen.
'''Episode 8:'''
* Kirika discovers the "cutting-edge alchemic art" of copypasta.
* The episode was followed by a commercial for the show's Blu-rays, as usual. Except this one goes above and beyond: it's narrated by Creator/YukaIguchi, in-character as Shem-Ha... in the style of a ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' episode preview. The sheer whiplash is amazing.
--> Next time on Symphogear XV: "More than "heiki hecchara", it's "'''[[YouWannaGetSued *BUZZ*]]''' head-cha-la"! Don't miss it!
** The real punchline comes in Iguchi's online radio show, where, ''immediately after'' playing the commercial, she blurts out the bleeped-out phrase.
'''Episode 10:'''
* In another outrageous MoodWhiplash, the somber, dramatic scene where the girls of Noble Red discover Shem-ha has resurrected and empowered them, at the price of robbing them of any chance of going back to being human quickly falls apart when Vanessa unleashes her new ability to... unfold her arm into a swiss army knife, complete with scissors, can opener, corkscrew and everything.
* During the fight between Vanessa and Hibiki, Vanessa lassos Hibiki with a tape measure [[FreezeFrameBonus Hibiki is a bit embarrassed about what her measurements happen to be.]]
* For a brief moment when Kirika is fighting Elsa, her voice cracks with an OhCrap tone that's rather funny to witness.
'''Episode 12:'''
* When Hibiki helps get Chris out of the way of Vanessa's attack, [[CovertPervert Hibiki]] is having a feel of Chris' chest.
'''[=OVA=] 1:'''
* Maria and Tsubasa are talking about what to get Chris for her birthday when Maria says that Tsubasa is unsuited to try to figure out what kind of clothing to get for Chris because Tsubasa is so uncoordinated that she doesn't even wear matching underwear most of the time. Tsubasa, [[LuminescentBlush embarrassed]], asks how Maria knows that.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Symphogear XDU]]
* During the ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'' collaboration, the Survey Corps stay in S.O.N.G. HQ. Tsubasa offers her room, but first has to clean it up. Eren then mentions how [[NeatFreak Levi]] would make them clean for hours if it was messy. Hibiki and Chris have an OhCrap moment, remembering that it was [[SacrificedBasicSkillForAwesomeTraining Tsubasa's room]]. Eventually, Levi's forcing Tsubasa to clean everything, while everyone else [[ScrewThisImOutOfHere backs out]].
* In the ''XDU'' collaboration with ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'', the other characters lampshade how Tsubasa and Fate [[TalkingToHimself sound]] [[Creator/NanaMizuki familiar]].
* The ''Series/MashinSentaiKiramager'' collaboration has some absolutely ''hilarious'' attacks. Kirika throws her scythe which transforms into the [[Main/CoolCar Mashin Mach]] and rams into the Noise, bumper car style. Shirabe's hair extensions act like ''helicopter blades'' akin to the Mashin Helico. And Tsubasa straight up throws her sword, which transforms into the Mashin Jetter ''mid toss''.
* The April Fools Event for 2021 made a chibi version of Shem-ha (with Miku's appearance) playable, complete with a hilarious chibi voice.

* Episode 2:
** As Tsubasa is leading Hibiki to the base:
---> '''Tsubasa''': Smiles have no meaning where we're going.\\
''({{Beat}})''\\
Cue the next scene having the bureau celebrating Hibiki getting there.
** When Tsubasa calls Hibiki to the base again, she puts her in handcuffs, even if they probably aren't needed. There's also Hibiki's scream as she's riding the way-too-fast elevator again.
* Episode 3:
** Genjuro shows Hibiki a map with dots on it.
---> '''Genjuro''': Any opinions?\\
'''Hibiki''': ''[matter-of-factly]'' Hm, lots of dots.
** Ryouko very suggestivly bites Hibiki's ear, causing the latter to freak out. She then drops this gem:
---> '''Ryouko''': Virgins are all the same, huh? ''(with a sultry look'') I want to pop your cherry before anyone else.
** During lunch, Hibiki claims she's "cursed" right before getting a piece of food from two of her friends, smiling broadly as she eats.
* Genjuro dressed as Creator/BruceLee and [[Franchise/StreetFighter Akuma]] during episode 4's post credit TrainingMontage.
* Episode 5:
** The voice actors' very bad attempts at speaking English.
** Hibiki stumbling upon a ecchi picture in a magazine and tries to pass it off ([[AmbiguouslyLesbian while blushing up a storm]]) as picture being for males.
* Episode 6:
** Hibiki entering Tsubasa's room, and assuming she's been kidnapped, due to the utter messiness of said room. Then Tsubasa just appeared behind her out of nowhere... and her usual deadpan expression turn into extreme embarrassment.
** While Hibiki is putting away Tsubasa's underwear, Tsubasa admits she usually has Ogawa clean her room.
---> '''Hibiki''': Ehh? You let a guy clean your room!?\\
''({{Beat}})''\\
'''Tsubasa''':''[blushing furiously]'' You're right, that's a problem in a number of ways.
** Tsubasa's expression makes it clear that she's never before noticed anything untoward about that.
** Hibiki tries reaching out to Chris by telling her personal details, like her age, her birthday, her blood type, even that she's never had a boyfriend. But when it comes to her weight:
---> '''Hibiki:''' Uh...I'll tell you when we're better friends!
* A combination of a too-short shirt, and [[GoingCommando no underwear]] contributing to Chris giving Miku an eyeful in episode 8.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHW2iED_L6U Hibiki's attempts at a crane game]] in episode 9, where she lets out a rather goofy sounding HotBlooded yell and when she fails to get the prize, she says the machine is broken and wants to use her Symphogear to break it ''even more''.
* Hibiki's endless {{Glomp}}ing of a freshly {{Heel Face Turn}}ed Chris in episode 10 and Chris' [[{{Tsundere}} attempts to get her to stop]].
* In Episode 10, Ryoko is expositioning something, while Ogawa tried to interrupt, only to receive [[OffhandBackhand Offhand Backhand, Offhand Kick, etc]] every time he tried.
* Chris' Symphogear Ichaival, (and for that matter, all the Symphogears) [[NoConservationofEnergy can magically conjure up massive missiles]], but [[{{Stripperiffic}} can't conjure up enough material to cover her bust fully]], unlike Hibiki and Tsubasa's Symphogears which seem to manage that just fine.
* The secret to Genjuro's [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower strength]]: Eating, sleeping and watching movies.
-->'''Genjuro''': A TRUE MAN NEEDS NOTHING ELSE!!!
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Symphogear G]]
* Chris and Hibiki are on top of a train fighting Noise when Hibiki realizes that the train is about to go into a tunnel. Their screams of shock are priceless.
* Hibiki and Chris have finished their job transporting Solomon's Cane and hope that they can make it to Tsubasa's concert when Aoi says that a helicopter is on the way to take them there:
--> '''Hibiki:''' ''[Excited]'' Seriously?\\
''[Explosion at the Base they were just at with Noise appearing]''\\
'''Hibiki:''' Seriously?\\
'''Chris:''' Yeah, seriously!
* Ogawa is runing around the concert hall trying to help Tsubasa when he spots into Kirika and Shirabe running around. When he sees them and asks why they haven't evacuated, Kirika tells him that [[BlatantLies Shirabe needs to use the restroom]] when he says that he'll guide them away once they're done Kirika tells him ''[[RefugeInAudacity that Shirabe will do it right there!]]'' Once he leaves Kirika [[LampshadeHanging can't believe that he bought that]] and Shirabe [[ComicallySerious just says she would never go in a place like this.]]
* Chris's very MagicalGirl-equse transformation in episode three. Not to mention the lyrics of her song.
--> Rather than a greeting I'll give you my gattling. You're just trash that deserves a good trash burning. 1, 2, 3 You're an eyesore!
* Kirika and Shirabe are at the school festival to get information on relics and also enjoy the festivities (or at least that's what Kirika is doing). Their disguise so they aren't noticed by the wielders? They [[PaperThinDisguise just wear glasses]] ''[[PaperThinDisguise that are the same color as their gears]]''.
* [[ThoseTwoGirls Yumi, Andou and Shiori]] are participating in the school's singing competition as part of the school festival singing the opening to "[[ShowWithinTheShow DenkÅ Keiji Ban]]" [[note]]Lightning Detective Ban[[/note]] and are in costumes based on the show, [[EpicFail they get buzzed before]] ''[[EpicFail they are able to even start singing the chorus]]''.
* Hibiki's thoughts during the aquarium date in Episode 8 are fairly somber, but it's a little hard to take things seriously with the derpy ocean sunfish in the shot.
** And her reaction to Miku pressing a cold soda can against her face is just priceless.
* Genjuro randomly breaking into song during the training sequence in episode 9, with Chris playing the StraightMan the whole way through. And Chris completely sucking at the training despite being the most HotBlooded girl.
** Made even more hilarious when that song is "Ying Hung Gu Shi" [[labelnote:Cantonese]]Hero's Story[[/labelnote]], the main theme for Film/PoliceStory, originally sang by Creator/JackieChan, with Chris' comment in the background is basically saying "Won't we get into copyright infringement with this song?"
** The training montage itself. Tsubasa is in her own place, Hibiki is giving it her all, while Chris is...borderline keeping up and failing in almost all of it.
* In Episode 10, Hibiki is trying to convince Genjuro to let her out on the field so she can save Miku:
--> '''Hibiki:''' I'll bring back Miku even if I die!\\
'''Genjuro:''' You're not allowed to die!\\
'''Hibiki:''' Then I'll come back alive even if it kills me!\\
'''Genjuro:''' ''[Baffled and honestly can't say anything to reply to that.]''
* Ending montage. Tsubasa complains that Chris isn't calling her 'senpai' anymore, so Hibiki teases her... which led to Chris exploding and reminding her that she is Hibiki and Miku's senpai.
* Both [=OVAs=] in almost their entirety. Examples include:
** Genjuro gives Chris keys to her own apartment so she can have some privacy only for Chris to find out that he also gave Tsubasa, Hibiki and Miku keys to her apartment too.
** Shirabe looms over Kirika, waking her up and telling her she wants them to sleep together. Kirika's response? A very shocked [[VerbalTic "DEAAAAAATH!"]].
** Kirika and Shirabe are sleeping next to Maria because it's cold, resulting in both of them rubbing their cold feet against her because she's warm. Maria's reaction is simply golden.
** Chris is given a DVD for ''Film/{{Equilibrium}}'' by Genjuro as a reward for training. Her reaction to seeing the GunKata play is adorably hilarious.
** Miku looks over footage of her wearing Shenshou Jing and listens to how the song that she sung [[ShipTease shows what her feelings are for Hibiki]], making her almost die from embarrassment.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Symphogear GX]]
* In Episode 1:
** Hibiki attempts to [[{{Glomp}} glomp]] Chris on their way to school, only for Chris to hit her with her bag before Hibiki makes contact. And to top it off, Chris has to remind Hibiki that she's still her senior.
** At the beginning, the girls are trying to save a space shuttle from hitting the Himalayas and Chris blows them "through" K2 with her missiles and Hibiki's help. The mission operator matter-of-factly announces that she's filling out the paperwork to list it as only the world's third-highest mountain from now on.
** A bit later Hibiki performs a suplex on a SPACE SHUTTLE!
** Later on that episode, Hibiki falls asleep in class ''again''. Even after two seasons, some things never change.
** Chris is not happy about the fact that Hbiki invited everyone to watch Tsubasa and Maria's concert at her place.
** When Hibiki and Chris are called to rescue people from a fire, Shirabe and Kirika offer to help, only to get turned down by Chris. Shirabe and Kirika are... not happy to say the least with the synchronized responses they have to being told to stay behind.
* Episode 3:
** Tsubasa reveals herself to be a TerribleArtist, drawing an Alkanoise as a poorly-drawn samurai guy. What's funnier is that [[Creator/NanaMizuki her voice actress]] shares this same trait and drew the same [[http://www.inahostudio.x0.com/symphogear/gimg/live2013_029.jpg picture]].
---> '''Chris''': There's avant garde and then there's ''this!'' Are you trying to change your career from "pop star" into "pop artist"!?
** Right before she transforms, Kirika is shown with a BadassArmfold and a ScarfOfAsskicking. However, if one looks closely, the "scarf" is actually just a banner for a shop. What does this mean? Kirika picked up a random shop banner and tied it around herself [[RuleOfCool just to look cool]].
** Right after a scene of Chris being depressed about having to be saved by Kirika and Shirabe... we cuts to [[ThoseTwoGirls Yumi, Andou and Shiori]] singing a musical number about ''beef stroganoff.'' MoodWhiplash? Probably. BigLippedAlligatorMoment? Maybe. Hilarious? ''Definitely''.
---> '''[[MetaGirl Yumi]]''': Beef Stroganoff: You know it from manga and anime!
** Miku notices that Hibiki is looking a lot more depressed than usual after the latter's encounter with Carol. As she interrogates further, she notes that Kirika and Shirabe were put in the hospital for "necessary tests". One GilliganCut later...
---> '''Kirika:''' ''[in a hospital gown reading a magazine]'' I'm bored to death!\\
'''Shirabe:''' ''[in a hospital gown eating food]'' Hospital food is so bland.
** Aoi and Sakuya just finished running some medical tests on Elfnein and reveal that there's nothing wrong with Elfnein...except for the fact that Elfnein has no apparent gender. To which everyone thinks:
---> '''Everyone''': She's unusual enough already!\\
'''Kirika:''': [[VerbalTic ...desu...]]
* Also in the MoodWhiplash department: Kirika offers a bottle of soy sauce at Professor Nastassja's grave in Episode 4. [[FreezeFrameBonus Sharp-eyed viewers may notice]] that, [[BlandNameProduct in place of the "Kikkoman" logo]], the label on the bottle reads ''[[Creator/KikukoInoue Kikuko]]man''.
* Kirika attempts to {{glomp}} Shirabe in Episode 5, only for Shirabe to nonchalantly move out of the way and leave Kirika falling to the floor in a comedic fashion.
* In Episode 6, when [[ClothingDamage a naked Shirabe]] is shown on the SONG headquarters' screen following her fight with Micha, Maria angrily yells for the men to look away. Genjuro respectfully looks away and Sakuya seems to be straining not to look. ...And then [[AmbiguouslyLesbian Miku]] covers Hibiki's eyes as well.
--> '''Hibiki:''' W-Why me too?!\\
'''Miku:''' Sorry, I got caught in the moment!
* Episode 7 begins with a much-needed break from all the action as the girls take a vacation to the beach. Amidst the various shenanigans that occur, here are a few standout examples:
** Chris displaying an unhappy, "oh-no-not-again" face upon hearing that the Gear users are going to "train". It looks like she still hasn't forgotten [[CallBack the last time]] she was forced to undergo training. Hibiki, on the other hand, is absolutely pumped.
** Tsubasa taking something as simple as a volleyball game very seriously and calling it a "tough exercise".
** Elfnein preparing to serve a volleyball like a pro...and then [[EpicFail failing miserably]].
** How does the group decide who has to go get food from the local supermarket? A free-for-all RockPaperScissors match!
*** The most hilarious moment is when Tsubasa makes scissors with her thumb and index finger (which is actually a gun in Rock Paper Scissors terms).
** The MoodWhiplash that comes in the very beginning. Maria contemplates the events of the past, including her miserable state she was as a {{Heel}} in G. She certainly wanted a power to protect those she held dear. And that journey has led her... ''to the beach.'' What completes that scene are her attire and the pose she's in, both ''completely'' inappropriate to the initial mood: the most stylish (and daring) swimsuit of the six Symphogears, and a rather alluring ContrappostoPose.
* Episode 8:
** Kirika playing the vending machine lottery and getting bitter coffee, which she hates. Turns into a heartwarming moment when Shirabe swaps their cans, stating that she doesn't mind black coffee and then later, in contrast to that above tender moment, Shirabe and Kirika having a quarrel halfway through the episode. Lampshaded by Miku and Hibiki, who point out how rare it is for those two to fight.
** Also a quick moment from when Kirika and Shirabe activate their [[SuperMode IGNITE modules.]]
---> '''Kirika & Shirabe:''' ''Bakken!''\\
'''Kirika:''' ''[[VerbalTic ...desu!]]''
* Dr Ver's hamtastic return is both this and a moment of awesome for him at the end of episode 9, but what really sells it is Carol's "What the fuck" look on her face, showing just how out of left field it is.
* Episode 10:
** At the beginning of the episode, we get to see Kirika and Shirabe's reactions to Dr. Ver's return. It's priceless.
** Chris' "Red Hot Blaze" move during her fight against Leiur, which involves Chris using a ''sniper rifle'' as a melee weapon. Even Leiur is surprised!
* Episode 13's final battle:
** Kirika and Shirabe merge their Symphogears into a rather... [[FlyingSaucer familiar-looking form.]] Complete with [[https://youtu.be/qHK4YjgDV9s?t=1m32s an old-school 'alien' sound]] in the background!
** Hibiki describes a summer festival to Elfnein and quips that Maria's Airgetlam jingles whenever she gets excited. Maria refutes this claim by saying that the jingle would sound better from the Ame-no-Habakiri, to which everyone starts laughing. Tsubasa is clearly not pleased.
---> '''Tsubasa:''' "I now understand exactly what you all think of the Ame-no-Habakiri..."
** Later on, Shirabe and Kirika do summer homework and learn the hard way that their senpai Chris can slack off due to having good grades.
---> '''Chris:''' I may not look it, but I get pretty good grades.\\
'''Shirabe:''' No way!\\
'''Chris:''' *DeathGlare*
* In the GX OVA, the FIS Children are shown absolutely loving the prison food they are given.[[note]] The G OVA shows them barely being fed and them having to scrimp and save to buy food.[[/note]] So much that Maria thought of withholding information so they can continue eating them. A later short has Tsubasa mention how more well rounded the trio are. She meant their character but they took it as them getting fatter.
* The entirety of the third GX OVA, which focuses on Carol and the Autoscorers. Some highlights include:
** The Autoscorers' personalities being based on Carol's subconscious, meaning that their various character tics (such as their crazy facial expressions and poses) are things that Carol secretly wants to do.
** The skit about Garie's public displays of affection. It begins with Garie kissing both Lieur and Phara in order to awaken them and Carol having a very scandalized reaction and saying that Garie should tone down the PDA. Cheekily, [[{{Troll}} Garie]] replies that since their personalities are based on Carol's subconscious, then the PDA must've been Carol's idea to begin with. Carol immediately tells Garie to shut up.
** The skits involving Carol "relieving" Elfnein of her duties. As seen in the series, Carol can see what Elfnein sees and Carol's expression can only be described as [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe utter exasperation]] when she sees that Elfnein is busy cleaning her room before she departs in order to make the life of whoever might replace her easier. Then in order to speed up Elfnein's departure, Carol orders Lieur to chase Elfnein out but Lieur initially refuses because seeing Elfnein's [[EpicFail various trip-ups]] has her actually ''feeling sorry'' for the poor kid. Carol then tells Lieur that she doesn't remember installing a sympathy node into the Autoscorers.
* In the fourth OVA, Chris actually acts like a {{Troll}} in one of the skits where she asks Tsubasa what each of them would look like if they switched Symphogears. Chris has an ImagineSpot of Tsubasa wearing Ichaival (complete with Tsubasa yelling out "YASSAI MOSSAI!") and Chris holds back her laughter while Tsubasa [[LuminescentBlush blushes furiously]] out of sheer embarrassment. For that matter, Chris imagining herself wearing different Symphogears. She first imagines herself in Hibiki's Gungnir (complete with her yelling "Rice and more rice!", Hibiki's favorite food) before deciding that yellow isn't her color. Then she imagines herself in Shirabe's Shul Shagana (complete with "That's why you're a hypocrite") and Kirika's Igalima (while cheerfully yelling out "[[VerbalTic DESU! DESU!]] ''[[VerbalTic DESU!]]''). [[CheshireCatGrin Her subsequent expression]] scares both Kirika and Shirabe.
--> '''Shirabe''': W-What's with her?\\
'''Kirika''': I'm not liking the look she has on her face!
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Symphogear AXZ]]
* A minor detail in the opening, but in contrast to the otherwise more serious training shots of Tsubasa, Chris, Shirabe, Kirika, and Maria, Hibiki is shown partaking in her favorite pastime of practicing her kung-fu moves with Genjuro... [[RunningGag while watching action movies]].
* Episode 1:
** The beginning has Hibiki worrying about every student's worst nightmare: summer homework. Then, as Hibiki begs Miku to help her, Chris, Shirabe, and Kirika interrupt the moment by showing up in a helicopter. The girls then try to talk to each other over the sound of the helicopter, with Kirika's drowned-out dialogue is replaced by [[VerbalTic 'DESS DESS DESS']], before Chris gets fed up and throws her shoe at Hibiki. What makes this scene even better is that this is how the episode ''starts''. Instead of starting things off with an action-packed intro like the first three seasons, you get the girls acting as they always do. Our heroines, ladies and gentlemen.
** Hibiki reassuring Kirika and Shirabe that they are still contributing to SONG even though they can't always fight with their Gears would be a heartwarming moment...if it weren't for the fact that 1) all of them are naked and coming out of the shower, and 2) Hibiki is holding Kirika's hand as she says this, which elicits a jealous, vocalized [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/senkizesshousymphogear/images/2/2a/Symphogear_AXZ_Ep_1_16.jpg/ stare]] from Shirabe.
** When Aoi and Sakuya are being chased by a giant alchemical serpent, Genjuro tells them to escape, [[MemeticMutation even if it kills them]]. Sakuya points out the flawed logic of that order.
* The co-pilot of a plane, currently being chased by a legion of Noise, taking time to point out the girls on the runway (Kirika and Shirabe) are cute.
* Saint-Germain reawakening Tiki in Episode 3 has this amusing little exchange:
--> '''Tiki''': Saint-Germain? It's been four hundred years, but you haven't changed a bit!\\
'''Saint-Germain''': That's right. The times may change, but I do not.\\
'''Tiki''': So, you're still always going on about boring stuff like freeing mankind from the yoke of oppression?
* The brief montage of the girls returning to school in the same episode has one amusing moment of realism. Hibiki may have been looking awesome while kicking loads of ass on the other side of the world for the past couple of episodes, but at what cost? She didn't have enough time to finish her summer homework.
* Episode 4:
** Adam makes his on-screen debut in... and just randomly gets naked for it.
** And earlier in the episode, there is a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment, but Tiki first shows up she's reading a manga. Yes, an Autoscorer made by the BigBad to observe and record the motions of the planets...[[http://symphogear.wikia.com/wiki/File:Tiki_reading_manga.png is reading shoujo manga]]. The very idea is as ridiculous as it sounds.
* Cagliostro calling Maria, Shirabe, and Kirika "Team Neapolitan" (as in the ice cream) because of the respective colors of their hair. [[note]]To those who understand Japanese, the original joke proves to be even funnier as Cagliostro calls them "Sanshoku Dango", a sweet treat in Japan that is comprised of three mochi-like dumplings that come in assorted colors, [[https://www.bob-an.com/recipes/img/jpg_large/05610.jpg like so]].[[/note]]
* The group manages to find a possible countermeasure to the Philosopher's Stone through a scab of waste material from when Hibiki was merged with the Gungnir relic. For convenience's sake, Chris dubs it the "[[StealthInsult Fool's]] Stone", a name that eventually sticks. Hibiki is less than enthusiastic.
* The main website for ''AXZ'' has a section called "Keywords" which give details on important things in the show like what [=LiNKER=] is or giving details on the villains. Occasionally, however, there will be special "joke" keywords that are there for no real purpose other than simply for providing levity. Case in point, [[http://www.symphogear-axz.com/keywords/key19.php this keyword]], which roughly translates to:
--> ''The Standards of Cuteness''\\
\\
''There are people who like dogs, and people who like cats.''\\
''Everybody is unique.''
* Episode 6 has an unbelievable FreezeFrameBonus. A sign has the lyrics for [[Music/RickAstley Rick Astley's]] "[[JustForFun/{{Rickroll}} Never Gonna Give You Up]]". [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer No, we aren't making]] [[https://symphogear.fandom.com/wiki/AXZ_Episode_6#Trivia this up]].
* Episode 8:
** In the brief training scene, each of the girls [[CurbStompBattle get their respective asses handed to them]] by Genjuro. That's six girls equipped with armor imbued with the power of song who are able to go toe-to-toe with the likes of alien eldritch abominations, entire armies, automated dolls, and long-lived alchemists with supernatural powers...[[http://dai.ly/x5xffea?start=70 all taken down within the span of a little under two minutes]] by one man.
** Another blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment, but the title of the mixtape Genjuro brings out at the end of the clip above indicates that [[ContinuityNod it's the same song he and Hibiki sung]] during the training sequence back in ''G''. We only get glimpses of the girls' training afterwards, but it's very much implied that this song, in all of its hilarity, is once again playing in the background.
* Episode 9 reveals that Hibiki, Chris, and Kirika have one thing in common: [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/senkizesshousymphogear/images/c/c8/Symphogear_AXZ_Episode_9_17.png they're all very messy sleepers]].
* Though it's meant to be a very somber scene as Prelati is drinking in honor of her fallen comrade Cagliostro, there's just something funny about the fact that she's drinking ''milk'' out of a wine glass.
* This line from Genjuro when he and the rest of S.O.N.G. commence their operation to return Hibiki to normal.
--> '''Genjuro''': All right! Time to throw Hibiki a birthday party she'll never forget!
* Hibiki being possessed by the divine power in Episode 12 is rightfully serious...until the trucks of anti-[=LiNKER=] shoot her right in her giant jiggly ass.
* This translated line from Cagliostro, given no context:
--> '''Cagliostro''': Honestly, I'd rather ram this thing up the Lodgemaster's ass.
* The finale:
** Maria [[OutOfCharacterMoment makes Tsubasa squee like a schoolgirl]] by feeding her a delicious tomato at the celebratory feast.
---> '''Shirabe''': [[LampshadeHanging It's so good the surprise broke her character.]]
** Tsubasa is later seen washing dishes while stacking the dishes in a manner that would otherwise be impractical and impossible to replicate in real life. [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/senkizesshousymphogear/images/4/49/Symphogear_AXZ_Episode_13_45.png Chris can only look on in disbelief.]]

[[folder:Symphogear XV]]
'''Episode 1:'''
* Once the crew arrive at the designated drop-point, the chopper doors open and Hibiki gets utterly floored by the arctic cold, wondering out loud where the supposed "southern hemisphere summer" went. Chris aptly responds.
--> '''Chris''': It's the South ''Pole''. It's cold even in the summer.
* Hibiki is so happy she passed her music class she tries to hug her teacher, only for the teacher to nonchalantly dodge her.
* Just as Chris is about to shoot the Custodian in its only weak spot, Hibiki brings up that the former's birthday is coming, only for Chris to snap back that saying such things is a jinx.
'''Episode 2:'''
* Hibiki teases Chris about the cold weather and the warmth of the glove she and Miku bought for Chris' birthday present. Chris, as usual being HairTriggerTemper, whacks Hibiki's head with her bookbag.
'''Episode 3:'''
* A biker gang spots Millaarc and Elsa making a deal, so how does the villainous duo decide to deal with them in this situation? By summoning Alca-noise that chase after the gang by riding on ''segways''!
* When the contents of Elsa's briefcase are revealed to be bags of blood, Shirabe thinks it's ketchup and Kirika wonders why they wanted Barbecue sauce.
* Kirika tells Shirabe since the Alchemists are looking for blood, they should guard the hospitals and blood banks. Just as Shirabe says there's no way they would show up so openly, they notice that Millaarc is hovering the hospital right in front of them.
* What does Kirika say to Millaarc about her activities as the fight between them begin?
--> '''Kirika''': Your actions are illegal under some law whose name I can't remember!
'''Episode 4:'''
* Vanessa [[IHaveBoobsYouMustObey seducing Hibiki]] in order to distract the latter. Hibiki, despite being flustered and embarrassed, didn't even try to cover her eyes.
--> '''Vanessa:''' [[ISurrenderSuckers I surrender.]] I don't think we can beat you in a straight-up fight. ''[Starts walking forward while emphasizing her breasts]'' Let's come to an understanding.\\
'''[[AmbiguouslyLesbian Hibiki]]:''' ''[Blushing and waving her hands]'' I don't want to come to ''that'' kind of understanding!\\
'''Vanessa:''' ''[Unzips her jacket]''\\
'''Hibiki:''' ''[Puts her hands on her face to "cover" her eyes but she peeks through her fingers anyway while still blushing]''\\
'''Vanessa:''' Just kidding. ''[She proceeds to fire two missiles at Hibiki.]''
'''Episode 5:'''
* As S.O.N.G.is inspected and the Symphogear ponder what to do, Kirika says there's no way they can relax now, [[HypocriticalHumor while holding a travel magazine]].
--> '''Everyone Else:''' [[UnsoundEffect Jiiiiii.]]
'''Episode 7:'''
* Sakuya gives a high-pitched scream when he sees Garie and Leiur on the screen.
'''Episode 8:'''
* Kirika discovers the "cutting-edge alchemic art" of copypasta.
* The episode was followed by a commercial for the show's Blu-rays, as usual. Except this one goes above and beyond: it's narrated by Creator/YukaIguchi, in-character as Shem-Ha... in the style of a ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' episode preview. The sheer whiplash is amazing.
--> Next time on Symphogear XV: "More than "heiki hecchara", it's "'''[[YouWannaGetSued *BUZZ*]]''' head-cha-la"! Don't miss it!
** The real punchline comes in Iguchi's online radio show, where, ''immediately after'' playing the commercial, she blurts out the bleeped-out phrase.
'''Episode 10:'''
* In another outrageous MoodWhiplash, the somber, dramatic scene where the girls of Noble Red discover Shem-ha has resurrected and empowered them, at the price of robbing them of any chance of going back to being human quickly falls apart when Vanessa unleashes her new ability to... unfold her arm into a swiss army knife, complete with scissors, can opener, corkscrew and everything.
* During the fight between Vanessa and Hibiki, Vanessa lassos Hibiki with a tape measure [[FreezeFrameBonus Hibiki is a bit embarrassed about what her measurements happen to be.]]
* For a brief moment when Kirika is fighting Elsa, her voice cracks with an OhCrap tone that's rather funny to witness.
'''Episode 12:'''
* When Hibiki helps get Chris out of the way of Vanessa's attack, [[CovertPervert Hibiki]] is having a feel of Chris' chest.
'''[=OVA=] 1:'''
* Maria and Tsubasa are talking about what to get Chris for her birthday when Maria says that Tsubasa is unsuited to try to figure out what kind of clothing to get for Chris because Tsubasa is so uncoordinated that she doesn't even wear matching underwear most of the time. Tsubasa, [[LuminescentBlush embarrassed]], asks how Maria knows that.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Symphogear XDU]]
* During the ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'' collaboration, the Survey Corps stay in S.O.N.G. HQ. Tsubasa offers her room, but first has to clean it up. Eren then mentions how [[NeatFreak Levi]] would make them clean for hours if it was messy. Hibiki and Chris have an OhCrap moment, remembering that it was [[SacrificedBasicSkillForAwesomeTraining Tsubasa's room]]. Eventually, Levi's forcing Tsubasa to clean everything, while everyone else [[ScrewThisImOutOfHere backs out]].
* In the ''XDU'' collaboration with ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'', the other characters lampshade how Tsubasa and Fate [[TalkingToHimself sound]] [[Creator/NanaMizuki familiar]].
* The ''Series/MashinSentaiKiramager'' collaboration has some absolutely ''hilarious'' attacks. Kirika throws her scythe which transforms into the [[Main/CoolCar Mashin Mach]] and rams into the Noise, bumper car style. Shirabe's hair extensions act like ''helicopter blades'' akin to the Mashin Helico. And Tsubasa straight up throws her sword, which transforms into the Mashin Jetter ''mid toss''.
* The April Fools Event for 2021 made a chibi version of Shem-ha (with Miku's appearance) playable, complete with a hilarious chibi voice.

* Episode 2:
** As Tsubasa is leading Hibiki to the base:
---> '''Tsubasa''': Smiles have no meaning where we're going.\\
''({{Beat}})''\\
Cue the next scene having the bureau celebrating Hibiki getting there.
** When Tsubasa calls Hibiki to the base again, she puts her in handcuffs, even if they probably aren't needed. There's also Hibiki's scream as she's riding the way-too-fast elevator again.
* Episode 3:
** Genjuro shows Hibiki a map with dots on it.
---> '''Genjuro''': Any opinions?\\
'''Hibiki''': ''[matter-of-factly]'' Hm, lots of dots.
** Ryouko very suggestivly bites Hibiki's ear, causing the latter to freak out. She then drops this gem:
---> '''Ryouko''': Virgins are all the same, huh? ''(with a sultry look'') I want to pop your cherry before anyone else.
** During lunch, Hibiki claims she's "cursed" right before getting a piece of food from two of her friends, smiling broadly as she eats.
* Genjuro dressed as Creator/BruceLee and [[Franchise/StreetFighter Akuma]] during episode 4's post credit TrainingMontage.
* Episode 5:
** The voice actors' very bad attempts at speaking English.
** Hibiki stumbling upon a ecchi picture in a magazine and tries to pass it off ([[AmbiguouslyLesbian while blushing up a storm]]) as picture being for males.
* Episode 6:
** Hibiki entering Tsubasa's room, and assuming she's been kidnapped, due to the utter messiness of said room. Then Tsubasa just appeared behind her out of nowhere... and her usual deadpan expression turn into extreme embarrassment.
** While Hibiki is putting away Tsubasa's underwear, Tsubasa admits she usually has Ogawa clean her room.
---> '''Hibiki''': Ehh? You let a guy clean your room!?\\
''({{Beat}})''\\
'''Tsubasa''':''[blushing furiously]'' You're right, that's a problem in a number of ways.
** Tsubasa's expression makes it clear that she's never before noticed anything untoward about that.
** Hibiki tries reaching out to Chris by telling her personal details, like her age, her birthday, her blood type, even that she's never had a boyfriend. But when it comes to her weight:
---> '''Hibiki:''' Uh...I'll tell you when we're better friends!
* A combination of a too-short shirt, and [[GoingCommando no underwear]] contributing to Chris giving Miku an eyeful in episode 8.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHW2iED_L6U Hibiki's attempts at a crane game]] in episode 9, where she lets out a rather goofy sounding HotBlooded yell and when she fails to get the prize, she says the machine is broken and wants to use her Symphogear to break it ''even more''.
* Hibiki's endless {{Glomp}}ing of a freshly {{Heel Face Turn}}ed Chris in episode 10 and Chris' [[{{Tsundere}} attempts to get her to stop]].
* In Episode 10, Ryoko is expositioning something, while Ogawa tried to interrupt, only to receive [[OffhandBackhand Offhand Backhand, Offhand Kick, etc]] every time he tried.
* Chris' Symphogear Ichaival, (and for that matter, all the Symphogears) [[NoConservationofEnergy can magically conjure up massive missiles]], but [[{{Stripperiffic}} can't conjure up enough material to cover her bust fully]], unlike Hibiki and Tsubasa's Symphogears which seem to manage that just fine.
* The secret to Genjuro's [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower strength]]: Eating, sleeping and watching movies.
-->'''Genjuro''': A TRUE MAN NEEDS NOTHING ELSE!!!
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Symphogear G]]
* Chris and Hibiki are on top of a train fighting Noise when Hibiki realizes that the train is about to go into a tunnel. Their screams of shock are priceless.
* Hibiki and Chris have finished their job transporting Solomon's Cane and hope that they can make it to Tsubasa's concert when Aoi says that a helicopter is on the way to take them there:
--> '''Hibiki:''' ''[Excited]'' Seriously?\\
''[Explosion at the Base they were just at with Noise appearing]''\\
'''Hibiki:''' Seriously?\\
'''Chris:''' Yeah, seriously!
* Ogawa is runing around the concert hall trying to help Tsubasa when he spots into Kirika and Shirabe running around. When he sees them and asks why they haven't evacuated, Kirika tells him that [[BlatantLies Shirabe needs to use the restroom]] when he says that he'll guide them away once they're done Kirika tells him ''[[RefugeInAudacity that Shirabe will do it right there!]]'' Once he leaves Kirika [[LampshadeHanging can't believe that he bought that]] and Shirabe [[ComicallySerious just says she would never go in a place like this.]]
* Chris's very MagicalGirl-equse transformation in episode three. Not to mention the lyrics of her song.
--> Rather than a greeting I'll give you my gattling. You're just trash that deserves a good trash burning. 1, 2, 3 You're an eyesore!
* Kirika and Shirabe are at the school festival to get information on relics and also enjoy the festivities (or at least that's what Kirika is doing). Their disguise so they aren't noticed by the wielders? They [[PaperThinDisguise just wear glasses]] ''[[PaperThinDisguise that are the same color as their gears]]''.
* [[ThoseTwoGirls Yumi, Andou and Shiori]] are participating in the school's singing competition as part of the school festival singing the opening to "[[ShowWithinTheShow DenkÅ Keiji Ban]]" [[note]]Lightning Detective Ban[[/note]] and are in costumes based on the show, [[EpicFail they get buzzed before]] ''[[EpicFail they are able to even start singing the chorus]]''.
* Hibiki's thoughts during the aquarium date in Episode 8 are fairly somber, but it's a little hard to take things seriously with the derpy ocean sunfish in the shot.
** And her reaction to Miku pressing a cold soda can against her face is just priceless.
* Genjuro randomly breaking into song during the training sequence in episode 9, with Chris playing the StraightMan the whole way through. And Chris completely sucking at the training despite being the most HotBlooded girl.
** Made even more hilarious when that song is "Ying Hung Gu Shi" [[labelnote:Cantonese]]Hero's Story[[/labelnote]], the main theme for Film/PoliceStory, originally sang by Creator/JackieChan, with Chris' comment in the background is basically saying "Won't we get into copyright infringement with this song?"
** The training montage itself. Tsubasa is in her own place, Hibiki is giving it her all, while Chris is...borderline keeping up and failing in almost all of it.
* In Episode 10, Hibiki is trying to convince Genjuro to let her out on the field so she can save Miku:
--> '''Hibiki:''' I'll bring back Miku even if I die!\\
'''Genjuro:''' You're not allowed to die!\\
'''Hibiki:''' Then I'll come back alive even if it kills me!\\
'''Genjuro:''' ''[Baffled and honestly can't say anything to reply to that.]''
* Ending montage. Tsubasa complains that Chris isn't calling her 'senpai' anymore, so Hibiki teases her... which led to Chris exploding and reminding her that she is Hibiki and Miku's senpai.
* Both [=OVAs=] in almost their entirety. Examples include:
** Genjuro gives Chris keys to her own apartment so she can have some privacy only for Chris to find out that he also gave Tsubasa, Hibiki and Miku keys to her apartment too.
** Shirabe looms over Kirika, waking her up and telling her she wants them to sleep together. Kirika's response? A very shocked [[VerbalTic "DEAAAAAATH!"]].
** Kirika and Shirabe are sleeping next to Maria because it's cold, resulting in both of them rubbing their cold feet against her because she's warm. Maria's reaction is simply golden.
** Chris is given a DVD for ''Film/{{Equilibrium}}'' by Genjuro as a reward for training. Her reaction to seeing the GunKata play is adorably hilarious.
** Miku looks over footage of her wearing Shenshou Jing and listens to how the song that she sung [[ShipTease shows what her feelings are for Hibiki]], making her almost die from embarrassment.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Symphogear GX]]
* In Episode 1:
** Hibiki attempts to [[{{Glomp}} glomp]] Chris on their way to school, only for Chris to hit her with her bag before Hibiki makes contact. And to top it off, Chris has to remind Hibiki that she's still her senior.
** At the beginning, the girls are trying to save a space shuttle from hitting the Himalayas and Chris blows them "through" K2 with her missiles and Hibiki's help. The mission operator matter-of-factly announces that she's filling out the paperwork to list it as only the world's third-highest mountain from now on.
** A bit later Hibiki performs a suplex on a SPACE SHUTTLE!
** Later on that episode, Hibiki falls asleep in class ''again''. Even after two seasons, some things never change.
** Chris is not happy about the fact that Hbiki invited everyone to watch Tsubasa and Maria's concert at her place.
** When Hibiki and Chris are called to rescue people from a fire, Shirabe and Kirika offer to help, only to get turned down by Chris. Shirabe and Kirika are... not happy to say the least with the synchronized responses they have to being told to stay behind.
* Episode 3:
** Tsubasa reveals herself to be a TerribleArtist, drawing an Alkanoise as a poorly-drawn samurai guy. What's funnier is that [[Creator/NanaMizuki her voice actress]] shares this same trait and drew the same [[http://www.inahostudio.x0.com/symphogear/gimg/live2013_029.jpg picture]].
---> '''Chris''': There's avant garde and then there's ''this!'' Are you trying to change your career from "pop star" into "pop artist"!?
** Right before she transforms, Kirika is shown with a BadassArmfold and a ScarfOfAsskicking. However, if one looks closely, the "scarf" is actually just a banner for a shop. What does this mean? Kirika picked up a random shop banner and tied it around herself [[RuleOfCool just to look cool]].
** Right after a scene of Chris being depressed about having to be saved by Kirika and Shirabe... we cuts to [[ThoseTwoGirls Yumi, Andou and Shiori]] singing a musical number about ''beef stroganoff.'' MoodWhiplash? Probably. BigLippedAlligatorMoment? Maybe. Hilarious? ''Definitely''.
---> '''[[MetaGirl Yumi]]''': Beef Stroganoff: You know it from manga and anime!
** Miku notices that Hibiki is looking a lot more depressed than usual after the latter's encounter with Carol. As she interrogates further, she notes that Kirika and Shirabe were put in the hospital for "necessary tests". One GilliganCut later...
---> '''Kirika:''' ''[in a hospital gown reading a magazine]'' I'm bored to death!\\
'''Shirabe:''' ''[in a hospital gown eating food]'' Hospital food is so bland.
** Aoi and Sakuya just finished running some medical tests on Elfnein and reveal that there's nothing wrong with Elfnein...except for the fact that Elfnein has no apparent gender. To which everyone thinks:
---> '''Everyone''': She's unusual enough already!\\
'''Kirika:''': [[VerbalTic ...desu...]]
* Also in the MoodWhiplash department: Kirika offers a bottle of soy sauce at Professor Nastassja's grave in Episode 4. [[FreezeFrameBonus Sharp-eyed viewers may notice]] that, [[BlandNameProduct in place of the "Kikkoman" logo]], the label on the bottle reads ''[[Creator/KikukoInoue Kikuko]]man''.
* Kirika attempts to {{glomp}} Shirabe in Episode 5, only for Shirabe to nonchalantly move out of the way and leave Kirika falling to the floor in a comedic fashion.
* In Episode 6, when [[ClothingDamage a naked Shirabe]] is shown on the SONG headquarters' screen following her fight with Micha, Maria angrily yells for the men to look away. Genjuro respectfully looks away and Sakuya seems to be straining not to look. ...And then [[AmbiguouslyLesbian Miku]] covers Hibiki's eyes as well.
--> '''Hibiki:''' W-Why me too?!\\
'''Miku:''' Sorry, I got caught in the moment!
* Episode 7 begins with a much-needed break from all the action as the girls take a vacation to the beach. Amidst the various shenanigans that occur, here are a few standout examples:
** Chris displaying an unhappy, "oh-no-not-again" face upon hearing that the Gear users are going to "train". It looks like she still hasn't forgotten [[CallBack the last time]] she was forced to undergo training. Hibiki, on the other hand, is absolutely pumped.
** Tsubasa taking something as simple as a volleyball game very seriously and calling it a "tough exercise".
** Elfnein preparing to serve a volleyball like a pro...and then [[EpicFail failing miserably]].
** How does the group decide who has to go get food from the local supermarket? A free-for-all RockPaperScissors match!
*** The most hilarious moment is when Tsubasa makes scissors with her thumb and index finger (which is actually a gun in Rock Paper Scissors terms).
** The MoodWhiplash that comes in the very beginning. Maria contemplates the events of the past, including her miserable state she was as a {{Heel}} in G. She certainly wanted a power to protect those she held dear. And that journey has led her... ''to the beach.'' What completes that scene are her attire and the pose she's in, both ''completely'' inappropriate to the initial mood: the most stylish (and daring) swimsuit of the six Symphogears, and a rather alluring ContrappostoPose.
* Episode 8:
** Kirika playing the vending machine lottery and getting bitter coffee, which she hates. Turns into a heartwarming moment when Shirabe swaps their cans, stating that she doesn't mind black coffee and then later, in contrast to that above tender moment, Shirabe and Kirika having a quarrel halfway through the episode. Lampshaded by Miku and Hibiki, who point out how rare it is for those two to fight.
** Also a quick moment from when Kirika and Shirabe activate their [[SuperMode IGNITE modules.]]
---> '''Kirika & Shirabe:''' ''Bakken!''\\
'''Kirika:''' ''[[VerbalTic ...desu!]]''
* Dr Ver's hamtastic return is both this and a moment of awesome for him at the end of episode 9, but what really sells it is Carol's "What the fuck" look on her face, showing just how out of left field it is.
* Episode 10:
** At the beginning of the episode, we get to see Kirika and Shirabe's reactions to Dr. Ver's return. It's priceless.
** Chris' "Red Hot Blaze" move during her fight against Leiur, which involves Chris using a ''sniper rifle'' as a melee weapon. Even Leiur is surprised!
* Episode 13's final battle:
** Kirika and Shirabe merge their Symphogears into a rather... [[FlyingSaucer familiar-looking form.]] Complete with [[https://youtu.be/qHK4YjgDV9s?t=1m32s an old-school 'alien' sound]] in the background!
** Hibiki describes a summer festival to Elfnein and quips that Maria's Airgetlam jingles whenever she gets excited. Maria refutes this claim by saying that the jingle would sound better from the Ame-no-Habakiri, to which everyone starts laughing. Tsubasa is clearly not pleased.
---> '''Tsubasa:''' "I now understand exactly what you all think of the Ame-no-Habakiri..."
** Later on, Shirabe and Kirika do summer homework and learn the hard way that their senpai Chris can slack off due to having good grades.
---> '''Chris:''' I may not look it, but I get pretty good grades.\\
'''Shirabe:''' No way!\\
'''Chris:''' *DeathGlare*
* In the GX OVA, the FIS Children are shown absolutely loving the prison food they are given.[[note]] The G OVA shows them barely being fed and them having to scrimp and save to buy food.[[/note]] So much that Maria thought of withholding information so they can continue eating them. A later short has Tsubasa mention how more well rounded the trio are. She meant their character but they took it as them getting fatter.
* The entirety of the third GX OVA, which focuses on Carol and the Autoscorers. Some highlights include:
** The Autoscorers' personalities being based on Carol's subconscious, meaning that their various character tics (such as their crazy facial expressions and poses) are things that Carol secretly wants to do.
** The skit about Garie's public displays of affection. It begins with Garie kissing both Lieur and Phara in order to awaken them and Carol having a very scandalized reaction and saying that Garie should tone down the PDA. Cheekily, [[{{Troll}} Garie]] replies that since their personalities are based on Carol's subconscious, then the PDA must've been Carol's idea to begin with. Carol immediately tells Garie to shut up.
** The skits involving Carol "relieving" Elfnein of her duties. As seen in the series, Carol can see what Elfnein sees and Carol's expression can only be described as [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe utter exasperation]] when she sees that Elfnein is busy cleaning her room before she departs in order to make the life of whoever might replace her easier. Then in order to speed up Elfnein's departure, Carol orders Lieur to chase Elfnein out but Lieur initially refuses because seeing Elfnein's [[EpicFail various trip-ups]] has her actually ''feeling sorry'' for the poor kid. Carol then tells Lieur that she doesn't remember installing a sympathy node into the Autoscorers.
* In the fourth OVA, Chris actually acts like a {{Troll}} in one of the skits where she asks Tsubasa what each of them would look like if they switched Symphogears. Chris has an ImagineSpot of Tsubasa wearing Ichaival (complete with Tsubasa yelling out "YASSAI MOSSAI!") and Chris holds back her laughter while Tsubasa [[LuminescentBlush blushes furiously]] out of sheer embarrassment. For that matter, Chris imagining herself wearing different Symphogears. She first imagines herself in Hibiki's Gungnir (complete with her yelling "Rice and more rice!", Hibiki's favorite food) before deciding that yellow isn't her color. Then she imagines herself in Shirabe's Shul Shagana (complete with "That's why you're a hypocrite") and Kirika's Igalima (while cheerfully yelling out "[[VerbalTic DESU! DESU!]] ''[[VerbalTic DESU!]]''). [[CheshireCatGrin Her subsequent expression]] scares both Kirika and Shirabe.
--> '''Shirabe''': W-What's with her?\\
'''Kirika''': I'm not liking the look she has on her face!
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Symphogear AXZ]]
* A minor detail in the opening, but in contrast to the otherwise more serious training shots of Tsubasa, Chris, Shirabe, Kirika, and Maria, Hibiki is shown partaking in her favorite pastime of practicing her kung-fu moves with Genjuro... [[RunningGag while watching action movies]].
* Episode 1:
** The beginning has Hibiki worrying about every student's worst nightmare: summer homework. Then, as Hibiki begs Miku to help her, Chris, Shirabe, and Kirika interrupt the moment by showing up in a helicopter. The girls then try to talk to each other over the sound of the helicopter, with Kirika's drowned-out dialogue is replaced by [[VerbalTic 'DESS DESS DESS']], before Chris gets fed up and throws her shoe at Hibiki. What makes this scene even better is that this is how the episode ''starts''. Instead of starting things off with an action-packed intro like the first three seasons, you get the girls acting as they always do. Our heroines, ladies and gentlemen.
** Hibiki reassuring Kirika and Shirabe that they are still contributing to SONG even though they can't always fight with their Gears would be a heartwarming moment...if it weren't for the fact that 1) all of them are naked and coming out of the shower, and 2) Hibiki is holding Kirika's hand as she says this, which elicits a jealous, vocalized [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/senkizesshousymphogear/images/2/2a/Symphogear_AXZ_Ep_1_16.jpg/ stare]] from Shirabe.
** When Aoi and Sakuya are being chased by a giant alchemical serpent, Genjuro tells them to escape, [[MemeticMutation even if it kills them]]. Sakuya points out the flawed logic of that order.
* The co-pilot of a plane, currently being chased by a legion of Noise, taking time to point out the girls on the runway (Kirika and Shirabe) are cute.
* Saint-Germain reawakening Tiki in Episode 3 has this amusing little exchange:
--> '''Tiki''': Saint-Germain? It's been four hundred years, but you haven't changed a bit!\\
'''Saint-Germain''': That's right. The times may change, but I do not.\\
'''Tiki''': So, you're still always going on about boring stuff like freeing mankind from the yoke of oppression?
* The brief montage of the girls returning to school in the same episode has one amusing moment of realism. Hibiki may have been looking awesome while kicking loads of ass on the other side of the world for the past couple of episodes, but at what cost? She didn't have enough time to finish her summer homework.
* Episode 4:
** Adam makes his on-screen debut in... and just randomly gets naked for it.
** And earlier in the episode, there is a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment, but Tiki first shows up she's reading a manga. Yes, an Autoscorer made by the BigBad to observe and record the motions of the planets...[[http://symphogear.wikia.com/wiki/File:Tiki_reading_manga.png is reading shoujo manga]]. The very idea is as ridiculous as it sounds.
* Cagliostro calling Maria, Shirabe, and Kirika "Team Neapolitan" (as in the ice cream) because of the respective colors of their hair. [[note]]To those who understand Japanese, the original joke proves to be even funnier as Cagliostro calls them "Sanshoku Dango", a sweet treat in Japan that is comprised of three mochi-like dumplings that come in assorted colors, [[https://www.bob-an.com/recipes/img/jpg_large/05610.jpg like so]].[[/note]]
* The group manages to find a possible countermeasure to the Philosopher's Stone through a scab of waste material from when Hibiki was merged with the Gungnir relic. For convenience's sake, Chris dubs it the "[[StealthInsult Fool's]] Stone", a name that eventually sticks. Hibiki is less than enthusiastic.
* The main website for ''AXZ'' has a section called "Keywords" which give details on important things in the show like what [=LiNKER=] is or giving details on the villains. Occasionally, however, there will be special "joke" keywords that are there for no real purpose other than simply for providing levity. Case in point, [[http://www.symphogear-axz.com/keywords/key19.php this keyword]], which roughly translates to:
--> ''The Standards of Cuteness''\\
\\
''There are people who like dogs, and people who like cats.''\\
''Everybody is unique.''
* Episode 6 has an unbelievable FreezeFrameBonus. A sign has the lyrics for [[Music/RickAstley Rick Astley's]] "[[JustForFun/{{Rickroll}} Never Gonna Give You Up]]". [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer No, we aren't making]] [[https://symphogear.fandom.com/wiki/AXZ_Episode_6#Trivia this up]].
* Episode 8:
** In the brief training scene, each of the girls [[CurbStompBattle get their respective asses handed to them]] by Genjuro. That's six girls equipped with armor imbued with the power of song who are able to go toe-to-toe with the likes of alien eldritch abominations, entire armies, automated dolls, and long-lived alchemists with supernatural powers...[[http://dai.ly/x5xffea?start=70 all taken down within the span of a little under two minutes]] by one man.
** Another blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment, but the title of the mixtape Genjuro brings out at the end of the clip above indicates that [[ContinuityNod it's the same song he and Hibiki sung]] during the training sequence back in ''G''. We only get glimpses of the girls' training afterwards, but it's very much implied that this song, in all of its hilarity, is once again playing in the background.
* Episode 9 reveals that Hibiki, Chris, and Kirika have one thing in common: [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/senkizesshousymphogear/images/c/c8/Symphogear_AXZ_Episode_9_17.png they're all very messy sleepers]].
* Though it's meant to be a very somber scene as Prelati is drinking in honor of her fallen comrade Cagliostro, there's just something funny about the fact that she's drinking ''milk'' out of a wine glass.
* This line from Genjuro when he and the rest of S.O.N.G. commence their operation to return Hibiki to normal.
--> '''Genjuro''': All right! Time to throw Hibiki a birthday party she'll never forget!
* Hibiki being possessed by the divine power in Episode 12 is rightfully serious...until the trucks of anti-[=LiNKER=] shoot her right in her giant jiggly ass.
* This translated line from Cagliostro, given no context:
--> '''Cagliostro''': Honestly, I'd rather ram this thing up the Lodgemaster's ass.
* The finale:
** Maria [[OutOfCharacterMoment makes Tsubasa squee like a schoolgirl]] by feeding her a delicious tomato at the celebratory feast.
---> '''Shirabe''': [[LampshadeHanging It's so good the surprise broke her character.]]
** Tsubasa is later seen washing dishes while stacking the dishes in a manner that would otherwise be impractical and impossible to replicate in real life. [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/senkizesshousymphogear/images/4/49/Symphogear_AXZ_Episode_13_45.png Chris can only look on in disbelief.]]

[[folder:Symphogear XV]]
'''Episode 1:'''
* Once the crew arrive at the designated drop-point, the chopper doors open and Hibiki gets utterly floored by the arctic cold, wondering out loud where the supposed "southern hemisphere summer" went. Chris aptly responds.
--> '''Chris''': It's the South ''Pole''. It's cold even in the summer.
* Hibiki is so happy she passed her music class she tries to hug her teacher, only for the teacher to nonchalantly dodge her.
* Just as Chris is about to shoot the Custodian in its only weak spot, Hibiki brings up that the former's birthday is coming, only for Chris to snap back that saying such things is a jinx.
'''Episode 2:'''
* Hibiki teases Chris about the cold weather and the warmth of the glove she and Miku bought for Chris' birthday present. Chris, as usual being HairTriggerTemper, whacks Hibiki's head with her bookbag.
'''Episode 3:'''
* A biker gang spots Millaarc and Elsa making a deal, so how does the villainous duo decide to deal with them in this situation? By summoning Alca-noise that chase after the gang by riding on ''segways''!
* When the contents of Elsa's briefcase are revealed to be bags of blood, Shirabe thinks it's ketchup and Kirika wonders why they wanted Barbecue sauce.
* Kirika tells Shirabe since the Alchemists are looking for blood, they should guard the hospitals and blood banks. Just as Shirabe says there's no way they would show up so openly, they notice that Millaarc is hovering the hospital right in front of them.
* What does Kirika say to Millaarc about her activities as the fight between them begin?
--> '''Kirika''': Your actions are illegal under some law whose name I can't remember!
'''Episode 4:'''
* Vanessa [[IHaveBoobsYouMustObey seducing Hibiki]] in order to distract the latter. Hibiki, despite being flustered and embarrassed, didn't even try to cover her eyes.
--> '''Vanessa:''' [[ISurrenderSuckers I surrender.]] I don't think we can beat you in a straight-up fight. ''[Starts walking forward while emphasizing her breasts]'' Let's come to an understanding.\\
'''[[AmbiguouslyLesbian Hibiki]]:''' ''[Blushing and waving her hands]'' I don't want to come to ''that'' kind of understanding!\\
'''Vanessa:''' ''[Unzips her jacket]''\\
'''Hibiki:''' ''[Puts her hands on her face to "cover" her eyes but she peeks through her fingers anyway while still blushing]''\\
'''Vanessa:''' Just kidding. ''[She proceeds to fire two missiles at Hibiki.]''
'''Episode 5:'''
* As S.O.N.G.is inspected and the Symphogear ponder what to do, Kirika says there's no way they can relax now, [[HypocriticalHumor while holding a travel magazine]].
--> '''Everyone Else:''' [[UnsoundEffect Jiiiiii.]]
'''Episode 7:'''
* Sakuya gives a high-pitched scream when he sees Garie and Leiur on the screen.
'''Episode 8:'''
* Kirika discovers the "cutting-edge alchemic art" of copypasta.
* The episode was followed by a commercial for the show's Blu-rays, as usual. Except this one goes above and beyond: it's narrated by Creator/YukaIguchi, in-character as Shem-Ha... in the style of a ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' episode preview. The sheer whiplash is amazing.
--> Next time on Symphogear XV: "More than "heiki hecchara", it's "'''[[YouWannaGetSued *BUZZ*]]''' head-cha-la"! Don't miss it!
** The real punchline comes in Iguchi's online radio show, where, ''immediately after'' playing the commercial, she blurts out the bleeped-out phrase.
'''Episode 10:'''
* In another outrageous MoodWhiplash, the somber, dramatic scene where the girls of Noble Red discover Shem-ha has resurrected and empowered them, at the price of robbing them of any chance of going back to being human quickly falls apart when Vanessa unleashes her new ability to... unfold her arm into a swiss army knife, complete with scissors, can opener, corkscrew and everything.
* During the fight between Vanessa and Hibiki, Vanessa lassos Hibiki with a tape measure [[FreezeFrameBonus Hibiki is a bit embarrassed about what her measurements happen to be.]]
* For a brief moment when Kirika is fighting Elsa, her voice cracks with an OhCrap tone that's rather funny to witness.
'''Episode 12:'''
* When Hibiki helps get Chris out of the way of Vanessa's attack, [[CovertPervert Hibiki]] is having a feel of Chris' chest.
'''[=OVA=] 1:'''
* Maria and Tsubasa are talking about what to get Chris for her birthday when Maria says that Tsubasa is unsuited to try to figure out what kind of clothing to get for Chris because Tsubasa is so uncoordinated that she doesn't even wear matching underwear most of the time. Tsubasa, [[LuminescentBlush embarrassed]], asks how Maria knows that.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Symphogear XDU]]
* During the ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'' collaboration, the Survey Corps stay in S.O.N.G. HQ. Tsubasa offers her room, but first has to clean it up. Eren then mentions how [[NeatFreak Levi]] would make them clean for hours if it was messy. Hibiki and Chris have an OhCrap moment, remembering that it was [[SacrificedBasicSkillForAwesomeTraining Tsubasa's room]]. Eventually, Levi's forcing Tsubasa to clean everything, while everyone else [[ScrewThisImOutOfHere backs out]].
* In the ''XDU'' collaboration with ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'', the other characters lampshade how Tsubasa and Fate [[TalkingToHimself sound]] [[Creator/NanaMizuki familiar]].
* The ''Series/MashinSentaiKiramager'' collaboration has some absolutely ''hilarious'' attacks. Kirika throws her scythe which transforms into the [[Main/CoolCar Mashin Mach]] and rams into the Noise, bumper car style. Shirabe's hair extensions act like ''helicopter blades'' akin to the Mashin Helico. And Tsubasa straight up throws her sword, which transforms into the Mashin Jetter ''mid toss''.
* The April Fools Event for 2021 made a chibi version of Shem-ha (with Miku's appearance) playable, complete with a hilarious chibi voice.
