4What happens when you mix the fanservice antics from the heroines from the ''Anime/QueensBlade'' franchise (and also ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' and ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha'') with the DarkerAndEdgier plots of the ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'' franchise? While being in SuperDeformed?

6Enter ''Mobile Suit Blade''!
7
8This doujinshi, written by Website/{{Pixiv}} artist @mino (pronounced as "Amino") is basically a very weird recap of the first season of the ''Queen's Blade'' anime (the Rurou no Senshi one) while depicting the heroines as ''Franchise/SDGundam'' versions of themselves and mixing [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Saber]], [[Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha Nanoha Takamachi and Fate Testarossa]] to the fray. Each heroine is depicted as a different MS from a different series of the ''Gundam'' franchise:
9
10* Leina as the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Gundam Exia]].
11* Elina and Claudette as the Gundam Astraea and Astraea F respectively from the ''Manga/Gundam00Sidestories''.
12* Melona as the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Gundam Throne Drei]].
13* Airi as the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Gundam Deathscythe]].
14* Menace as the [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam Pharaoh Gundam]].
15* Tomoe as [[Toys/SDSengokudenMushaShichininShuHen Musha Gundam]].
16* Shizuka as the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam0083StardustMemory Gerbera Tetra]].
17* Nyx as the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny Infinite Justice Gundam]].
18* Ymir and her cousin Eilin as [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ Dreissens]].
19* Cattleya as a [[Anime/MobileSuitVictoryGundam Zoloat]] and her son Rana (oddly enough) as ''the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Wing Gundam Zero]]''.
20* Echidna as a [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam0083StardustMemory GM Quell]].
21* Irma as a [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Gundam Mk. II (with the Titans colors to match the color of her skin)]].
22* Aldra as the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Reborns Gundam]].
23* Nanael as the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack Nu-Gundam and her friend Hachiel as a Jagd Doga]].
24* Nowa as a [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam GM Light Armor]].
25* Alleyne as a [[Manga/GundamSentinel Nero Trainer]].
26* Alice (From the ''Queen's Gate'' novels) as the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Cherudim Gundam]].
27* Saber as [[Anime/SDGundamGaiden Knight Gundam]].
28* Nanoha Takamachi also as the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Wing Gundam Zero]].

30You can read it in the artist's [[http://www.pixiv.net/member.php?id=695818 Pixiv page]], (registration required and some art can be NSFW, but the doujinshi itself is relatively tame compared with the original series who is based of)[[note]]For the beginners, there's no sex scenes and very few {{Fanservice}} scenes, and no nudity, despise being a doujinshi.[[/note]]

34!!''Mobile Suit Blade'' provides examples of the following tropes:
35
36* AdaptationalVillainy[=/=]AdaptationalBadass: The ''whole'' doujin turns up many heroines and villains more heroic (or evil) than the original series they came from. The best examples are Leina and Melona: While in ''MS Blade'' she's more hot-blooded than her original role in the series, Melona, on the other hand, is more evil and creepier, to the grade she outright kills a [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam GM girl]] who tried to fight against her. (instead of Leina in the original TV series). Leina kicked Melona's ass with a combination of both [[FinishingMove Dragon Tail]] and [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Trans-Am]].
37* BloodierAndGorier: Taking into account this is a crossover between ''Anime/QueensBlade'' with a franchise infamous for this, this is expected. The odd part is the fact all the characters are supposed to be '''Machines''', but they can bleed human blood.
38* {{Crossover}}: It features characters from both ''Anime/QueensBlade'' and ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha'' (Also [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Saber]]) reinterpreted with Character Designs similar to that of ''Franchise/SDGundam''.
39* MythologyGag: Being based in ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'', this is almost mandatory: While fighting against Menace, Tomoe receives some extra power from the Empress of Hinomoto, in the same style [[Anime/AfterWarGundamX Tiffa Adill does while helping Garrod using the Satellite Cannon]].
40* NotEnoughToBury: This is the fate of the GM Girl who was killed by Melona in the very first chapter, since she melted her into a bloody mess. Leina buried her anyways.
41* OneWingedAngel: The Swamp Witch Trio has a tendency of using this when the things are going bad for them.
42* OutOfFocus: From the ''Queen's Blade'' franchise, only Risty, Melpha and the rest of the cast from ''Queen's Blade Rebellion'' doesn't appear here. The author planned to include Risty being depicted as a [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack Sazabi]] but maybe due to the fact [[Creator/YukoKaida Risty's VA]] voiced [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamUnicorn Marida Cruz]] and none of the MS she pilots during the original novel and the anime is red [[spoiler:(Other when the Banshee uses his [[SuperMode NT-D mode)]]]], maybe he decided for not including her anyways.
43* ShoutOut: A very odd shout-out happens in the last published episode of the doujinshi: When Claudette stops Elina when she tries to kill one of her maids, she summons the ''[[Anime/GreatMazinger Thunder Break]]'' rather than her default ''Raimei Shinkan''.
44* SuperDeformed: The Character Designs are based on [[Franchise/SDGundam one of the most popular Super-Deformed Mecha series]], after all.
45* SuperMode: Leina's [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Trans-Am]] and [[spoiler:Airi's Gunkiller mode]].
46* ThisIsUnforgivable: Melona says this after being defeated by Leina in the first chapter.
