* ArchivePanic: Just the content designated official threadmarks alone is millions of words long. Adding in sidestories and apocrypha of varying degrees of canonicity, as well as informational posts, gets you over a million more.
** As of May 2023, the story runs to 12.6 million words in the archive threads (just canonical story posts) on QQ.

* CrackShip: This is probably the only work ever to have a relationship between Amaterasu and Fenrir.

** As of May 2022, the story runs to 12.6 million words in the archive threads (for just canonical story posts) on QQ.

* TastesLikeDiabetes: Multiple times, people have complained about their teeth rotting or needing to get their pancreas replaced in response to extremely adorable moments. Also, Victory did THIS [[https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/harry-and-the-shipgirls-a-hp-kancolle-snippet-collection.413375/post-30648040]] for the Dumbledore brothers.

* BaseBreakingCharacter: US Battleships Kentucky, Illinois, and Washington (BB-47) deliberately choosing to ignore opportunities to be summoned. And When they do (the first two by accident in the wake of Halifax's summoning, the latter when Draco Malfoy does a generic summoning ritual for "anyone willing"), they then reject the US Navy for the Coast Guard for the former two, and become the Malfoy Valet for the latter. Is this refusal to join justifiable reactions to the trauma of being being mistreated during their steel hull days, during times when either the concept of a navy at all is in the balance (Kentucky and Illinois spent almost 20 years rusting away after launch while the US Navy made proposal after proposal for conversations, only to scrap them once they had ICBM submarines), or to adhere to international treaties (after essentially a coin flip over Washington and West Virginia, Washington was subjected to weapons testing and sunk)? Or mean-spirited, selfish, and childish myopia where they deliberately choose to let innocent people die so that they can flip the US Navy the bird, punishing people that had nothing to do with the above mistreatment? The debate got so hot that [[OldShame the authors are hesitant to use them, and are irritated over criticism]].

* CompleteMonster: The Kamo Government was truly despicable. Between plans to weaponize [[PoweredByAForsakenChild Obscurials]], a plan to make sure no one was able to win the Second World War if Japan lost, and a bunker dedicated to attempting to resurrect several of Japan's Yokai in the hope of using them as weapons, there truly was no line that they would not cross.

** Sports Nundu! [[note]]During the Quidditch World Cup, an African who was attending had his own Nundu guarding his tent. Memes ensued, [[AscendedMeme and it was actually referenced in a canonical snippet.]]

* JustForFun/HolyShitQuotient: Let's just say upon finding that Harry, his classmates, and Fudo were trapped in a Sub-Unit-942 bunker that was full of ancient monsters that 942 had been trying to resurrect, pretty nearly all of the heavy hitters were called in, from the Potter Armory, to the shipgirls, to most of the Masamunes, to the First Oni Guard, to the JGSDF, to the relatives of the Yokai heirs. They refused to take any chances on letting these monsters survive.

* What do I get if I find the Mizuchi? [[note]]Kyoshu believes, for some reason, that if she finds a Mizuchi, she gets a prize.[[/note]]

* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome:
** The battle against [[BigBadWannabe Kuroshi]] is one, especially after she summons a Gashadokuro to fight for her. Even though it takes the combined efforts of [[ActionMom Nagato]], [[UsefulNotes/{{Onmyodo}} Haru]], [[AcePilot Ai]], and [[InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons Jin]] to take it down, [[BeyondTheImpossible traditionally]] this is impossible.
** Harry and Sirius, with some help from Kagotsuruhe, Juuchi, Tsukiakari, and Reivina, taking on 100 Dementors, in a battle that culminated with Harry casting a successful Patronus, followed by a Nukefuda that got boosted by Amaterasu herself, resulting in quite a few Dementors dying, and the rest being forced to run away.
** Followed by [[HolyBurnsEvil Cathy]] [[ItsPersonal tracking them down]] [[OneManArmy and defeating most of the survivors.]]
** Learning about the Kamo Government's "Screw the World" plan caused Emperor Heisei to bid Kotegiri to don the Oda Kimono, giving her freedom to hunt down and execute all of their remnants.

** During an emergency assembly of the Tokyo Magical Diet concerning the numbers of prefectures that have or are threatening to secede and join the Kyoto Diet, one Councilor Ito, a [[Series/YesMinister Jim Hacker politician]] and [[TokenGoodTeammate one of the last members of the Tokyo Diet]] that actually gave a damn about doing good for the people, gives a damning TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to the Diet, and when word comes in of developments that mean a civil war could be immenant, mid-speech he calls for a vote of no confidence and singlehandedly kills the Diet in favor of Kyoto.

* IronWoobie: Let's just say that both Norimune and Colombe have been forced to endure some seriously difficult lives.

* NightmareFuel: One [[https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/34363594/ omake]] speculates on the reaction Wanko and Revina might have to Death Eaters hurting Harry and/or Hoppou, complete with the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urV8MIcLDFk tune]] Revina would sing as she sauntered through Knockturn Alley.

** Louisiana's awakening. A grateful wizard used the Elixir of Life and his own magic and life force to bring shipgirls who were based on ships that only existed on paper to repay what he thought of as a debt he owed the shipgirls for saving his grandson's life. Well intentioned, and the man sacrificed his own life, but Louisiana awakened while still in the place where the others came into being, but after the man who brought her about had died. She spent ''months'' trapped in the sarcophagus that created her. In complete darkness. Alone. And aware the entire time before being rescued.
