Except, [[spoiler:Erika decides to leave Ooarai and returns to Kuromorimine exactly after the winning ceremony. It is safe to say that the tournament Ooarai won under Erika's leadership would be the only trophy they have for the foreseeable future]].

* TheCoup: [[spoiler:One happens in St. Gloriana right before the finals. Led by Rurukiri (with Rosehip involuntarily tagging along), against the whole Tea Garden when she arrests Darjeeling for her increasingly depraved behavior.]]


Added DiffLines:

* Flanderization: Many characters have their behaviors and personalities ramped UpToEleven for hilarity.
** Erika is a haughty, overconfident JerkWithAHeartOfGold with an obsession of the Nishizumis and hamburgers.
** Darjeeling is now a PsychoLesbian interested in Erika.
** Nonna at one point becomes a full-blown lolicon obsessed with legally adopting ''then'' marrying Katyusha, with a little push from Darjeeling.


Added DiffLines:

* MadnessMantra: Sodoko is reduced to screaming nothing but "DISCIPLINE! DISCIPLINE! DISCIPLINE!" for a good portion of the series, after the sight of a chaotic three-way battle between Koume's Panther, Anzio's P40 and Oorai's team on school grounds breaks something in her psyche.
* PsychoLesbian: Played for laughs. Darjeeling is Flanderized to the point of becoming obsessed with ''carefully'' observing any moments of girl-on-girl action and teaching others the virtues of loving the fairer sex.


Added DiffLines:

** Saori trying convince Erika of superior hotpot dishes over the latter's favorite hamburgers.


Added DiffLines:

** Also when after the Pravda battle when Miho tells Erika that [[spoiler:Kuromorimine lost against St. Gloriana]].

* InSpiteOfANail: While the manga generally follows TheStationsOfTheCanon, some plot points stay the same in spite of Miho's absence.
** Miho ends up befriending the rest of Anglerfish Team around the time of the tournament drawing.
** Yukari comes up with the names for the teams after corresponding with Miho.



* {{Jerkass}}: Erika, like in canon. Much of the humor comes form how poorly she gets along with the rest of the team, particularly Saori and Yukari.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: While Maho always cared for Miho, in this doujin, she's able to be more open with her feelings.
* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: Miho loosens up a little while staying at Kuromorimine, especially after seeing the highly embarrassing video of Erika doing the Anglerfish Dance.


Added DiffLines:

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: When Yukari is asked why she's wearing the Family Mart uniform, she says "Because Sunkus no longer exists."


Added DiffLines:

* HonorBeforeReason: Erika realizes that the most sensible thing for Saunders to do after catching Yukari infiltrating their school would be to change their tactics, thereby rendering Yukari's information useless. Kay, however, refuses to do so, saying it would be "rude" to Sgt. Oddball.


Added DiffLines:

* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Lampshaded when Yukari wears a Family Mart uniform rather than a Sunkus uniform as part of her infiltration of Saunders. The translation notes explain that Family Mart acquired Sunkus in 2016, which is why the ProductPlacement for the latter ceased.


Added DiffLines:

** The tanks are often rendered as cartoonish blobs with cutesy faces and treads when viewed from Saori's perspective, as if to show how she can't tell them apart.
* ShoutOut: When Momo and Yuzu panic and deny that Oarai will be closed if they don't win the tournament, they both insist that this isn't some kind of anime like "[[Anime/LoveLiveSunshine Something Live Sunshine]]".


Added DiffLines:

* WhamLine: When Erika meets Miho at the tank café.
-->'''Erika''': I guess it's "former-vice commander," now. ''(aside)'' You got demoted after that, didn't you?\\
'''Miho''': Yeah, you're right. I'm the commander now.

''Erika Change'' is a ''Anime/GirlsUndPanzer'' 4koma doujin by Sutahiro.

After the incident in which Miho's decision to save a tank cost Kuromorimine the tournament, she announces her decision to transfer to Oarai. Maho, however, talks Miho out of the decision, but as a result of the arrangement she set up Erika ends up having to transfer in Miho's place.

!The doujin contains examples of:
*AmbiguouslyGay: Erika's strong loyalty toward Maho is ramped up into a lesbian crush in this fic. Assam proposes that "There is a 97% chance that she(Erika) is lesbian."
*BattleDiscretionShot: The entirety of the fighting in the practice match happens off-panel.
*BrutalHonesty: Yukari bluntly tells Erika that she would have preferred that Miho transfer to Oarai instead of her.
*ButtMonkey: Erika is often the victim of misfortune of one sort or another.
*CombatPragmatist: Erika proposes taking an observation point and shooting any tank that approaches, a tactic Yukari thinks of as honorless.
*CompressedAdaptation: Many scenes are cut out, such as Hana's encounter with her mother while in port,
*ContinuityNod: Hana says that St. Gloriana has one tank that's too strong, and Yukari argues that even Miho would have trouble with them, a reference to how Miho defeated three of St. Gloriana's tanks (with Hippo Team defeating another), but ultimately lost to the last remaining tank
*CurbStompBattle: Oarai vs. St. Gloriana. Unlike in canon, in which Oarai was able to defeat all but one of St. Gloriana's tanks before being taken out themselves, Oarai tries to stand against them at the ambush point, and gets wiped out.
*ForWantOfANail: What if Erika, not Miho, had transferred to Oarai?
*HypocriticalHumor: Erika protests the team getting creature comforts for their tank, but when Mako suggests buying a hamburger pillow, Erika suggests that they buy two.
*UsefulNotes/JapaneseHonorifics: For the most part, Erika doesn't use honorifics on her teammates, unlike Miho. The only exception is Hana, who Erika apparently respects enough to call "Hana-san."
*{{Jerkass}}: Erika, like in canon. Much of the humor comes form how poorly she gets along with the rest of the team, particularly Saori and Yukari.
*JumpedAtTheCall: Unlike Miho, Erika eagerly accepts the offer to do tankery at Oarai, even choosing tankery as her elective before it's even listed.
*RunningGag:
**Mako and Erika bonding over their love of hamburger.
**Whenever slapstick happens, the narration will point out that "X has been specially coated with carbon for safety."
*TrademarkFavoriteFood: Mako and Erika both love hamburger.
*WorthyOpponent: Averted. St. Gloriana apparently refuses to recognize Oarai as such due to its pitiful performance in the first battle.
