"That 'Gate' completely flipped the script on everything we though was logical in our world. Nothing was always the aforementioned later on it opened, and null even so hasn't been the same since."

"Someone had to write about it you lot know? Put our feelings downward on paper, funny right? You lot'd think beingness a tank crewman is all explosions and saving the day. Fist bumping and blasting rock music as the enemy runs abroad from you lot."

"You lot couldn't be any further from the truth..."

"So here it is, all of information technology, everything from the beginning to the end. Whether or non you want to judge u.s.a. for who or what we are or what we did is upwards to you, I couldn't care less to be honest. I did my function, I protected my brothers and we laid down the armies of tyrants."

And then long equally we breathe life we hereby swear that we will protect yous to the all-time of our abilities, no foe has bested u.s.a. before and none volition now!

  • Chapter 15. Bozes' introduction has Elton giving her such an intimidating threat that she and her knights actually stand down, avoiding Itami'due south canon scenario of existence captured and tortured birthday. It helps when there's a tank scarred with dragon-sized hook marks and, also, literally completely covered in blood from the previous battle.

  • The marines are shown to be this style in comparison to the JSDF'south antics. Afterward killing around 120,000 enemy combatants in the Battle of Alnus Hill, they act as if information technology was a daily routine.

• Bottomless Magazines: Averted during the Siege of Italica, when four tanks have to fight off an ground forces of ten,000 bandits with minimal support. Get-go their main guns run dry, then the coaxial guns, and finally the crews' rifles and auto guns forcing them to fight hand to hand and utilise the tank's treads.
• Intermission Out the Museum Slice: Downplayed.
  • When they deploy to the Special Region, the USMC forces re-equip themselves with Vietnam war-era Remington 870 shotguns and M72 Law rocket launchers for taking out sword-wielding knights and Ogres, respectively. They besides use 1980s-era Stinger Anti Air missiles that are positively lethal to flying dragons.

• Brick Joke: In Chapter 23 the Horsemen tease Benitez for his relationship with Mamina, a warrior bunny, noting that combining hispanic and rabbit "breeding habits" may singlehandedly repopulate her species.

• Buffy Speak: Itami helps explicate to the Special Region locals about the tank's mechanics without going into modern terminology.

  Kincaid: We're non trying to break a rails or blow the engine.
  Rory: Blow?
  Itami: Uh, yes, what he means is the wagon volition intermission!

• Auto Fu: Or rather Tank Fu, where the tanks very frequently run over their enemies due to Zerg Rush tactics of an junior armed forcefulness.
  • Averted once below in Heroic BSoD, where Benitez risks the squad when he hesitates to run over several enemy troops due to the sheer cruelty of it.

  • Princess Piña and Bozes guess (more than or less correctly) when they run into Lieutenant Colonel Kane that the colorful decorations on his wearing apparel dejection must commemorate dauntless deeds in battle, and infer that he must exist a great warrior. They are a bit confused as to why his dominate Lieutenant Full general Hazama doesn't have as many.
• Chick Magnet: Just like Itami in the original. Kincaid has become an interest to both Kurokawa and Aurea.
• Cunning Linguist: Lelei, even more so than her canon analogue, where she manages to quickly selection up both Japanese and English language at the same time.
• Adjourn-Stomp Boxing: Fifty-fifty more so than canon, due to the inclusion of the Four Horsemen tank battalion.
• Combat Breakup: Here We Go Again's sister tank Cry Sum Moar gets stuck in a bog during the defence of Italica, requiring the HWGA and Emerson's Recon team to cover them from the oncoming horde of bandits.
  • Here Nosotros Become Once again experiences this equally they begin to run out of ammo during the battle. Subsequently exhausting their beat out supply for the primary gun, they switch to their coaxial mounts. Subsequently they run out of bullets for the M240Cs and the .50 cal, they exit the vehicle and fight off the marauders with various small arms and bits of mitt-to-hand combat.
• Contrived Coincidence: The just reason Jasper and the Charlie Company tanks have the limelight is due to a concluding-minute articulation exercise in Nippon.
  • The tankers openly lampshade that they accept no business being effectually Itami's group, as recon is a chore a tank is not well suited for. Nevertheless, they're stuck together (non that they listen the company) because the college-ups desire to encourage cooperation and retrieve that the groups work well together. This backfires when the tank breaks down in the heart of the fight with the Flame Dragon, resulting in others having to come to assist go the tank working again.
• Convenient Misfire: In Chapter nine, a bad beat out prevents Here We Go Again from finishing off the flame dragon. Truthful to realism, the tank crew had to get through a long tedious procedure to notice the crusade of the jam before fixing information technology (doing otherwise risks having the High-Explosive Anti-Tank round cook off in the breech, which would exist very, very bad). By the fourth dimension they figured out what's wrong, its already too late....
• Cool Large Sis: Kurokawa acts this way towards Jasper. It irritates him to no stop and he begins to call her "Mom".
• Cool vs. Crawly: M1A1 Abrams Tank vs. The Flame Dragon!
  • F35s vs. The Flame Dragon!

• Cutting the Knot: The canon scene where Bozes captures Itami is completely averted by the crew of Here Nosotros Go Again, pointing out that a) The tank they're riding on is even so covered in claret from some of the ten 1000 people they helped impale the dark earlier, b) the damage to the tank was from when they took on a Flame Dragon, and c) They accept a tank.
• Deadpan Snarker: Pretty much near of the characters. Its an inherent trait of Marine Corps.
  • Surprisingly, Sgt. Kurokawa is given this trait as well in this fic.

  Kincaid: And there you go putting the fear of god into me.
  Kurokawa: Which one, yours or Emroy?
  Kincaid: The one that doesn't have psychotic apostles running around.
  Kurokawa: Do the Crusades count?

• Death by Adaptation: Zorzal is killed by Pina when he attempts to kill her out of spite.

• Deconstructed Character Archetype: Rory. She'south shown as exactly how creepy and/or terrifying a demigoddess who looks like a little girl and gets "excited" at the thought of boxing would be. At best, to the Tankers, she's an annoyance. To Emerson and several others, she'due south a major threat.
• Deflector Shields: Myuute Luna Sires. While she does appear in Gate with such an ability, she gets a considerably badass upgrade here where in addition to stopping a few bullets, she tin can negate several shut range M18A1 Claymore detonations.

• Demoted to Extra: Tuka receives little attending compared to the source material.
  • Itami plays a much reduced office from the one he does in canon. That being said, he'south still in that location and it'south unsaid that some of the events in canon are still happening with him offscreen.
  • Zorzal is a secondary antagonist at best, and Tyuule gets only a few brief mentions. Zorzal's death at his sis's hands in the concluding chapter means that his and Tyuule'southward schemes never happen in this version of the story.
• Deuteragonist: Aside from Jasper and Itami, Lieutenant William Van Hauser has the virtually amount of page fourth dimension for a not-tank Marine in the whole story thus far.
• Distinguishing Marker: After the encounter with the flame dragon, Here We Go Again has large dragon-claw scars scratched along the turret. This allows everyone who sees the tank to know the crew are the infamous "Dragon Fighters".
• Double Standard: Aldritch calls out Itami and his men for getting too shut to the locals, even though his men (specifically Kincaid) are guilty of the same affair.
• The Dreaded: Rory becomes this to the tankers of 2nd Battalion when information technology becomes clear she is enamoured with their death-dealing machines and their crew. So much, that Colonel Kane secretly assigns a MARSOC fireteam to assess her threat level and deal with her if necessary, against the cognition of the JSDF.
  • The combined US/Japanese Spec Ops teams that are sent through the Gate in advance of the main strength. They quickly become the stuff of nightmares among the Imperial soldiers, who telephone call them 'the Green-eyed Ghosts' subsequently their nighttime-vision goggles.

• Earn Your Happy Catastrophe: Kincaid retires from service and pursues higher, while his friends and crewmates are off living their lives peacefully as Japan and the United states of america reform the Saderan Empire.
• Like shooting fish in a barrel Logistics: Averted. The crew of Hither We Go Again is balked at the thought of a tank being sent out for recon, due to the fact that i of the main reasons tanks go in platoons is to minimize breakdowns and embrace each other should one get disabled or pinned downwardly. After the fiasco with the flame dragon, command finally learns its lesson and deploys all four tanks WITH the M88 Recovery Vehicle for good mensurate during the Italica mission, but still insists afterwords that the crew of Here We Go Again would continue to deploy with Itami'southward team at the latter'due south behest.
• Elites Are More than Glamorous: Special forces get their off-white scrap of recognition in the story with Helm Recker (Navy SEALs) and Emerson (MARSOC). The JSDF SFG commandos are quite deadly besides.
  • Somewhat averted in passing regarding the tanks themselves- the U.s. tanks taken through the Gate are training tanks, which weren't supposed to see gainsay. Front end line tanks would take been more effective since they're better repaired and equipped, just the point is basically moot.
• Ensign Newbie: Lt. Aldritch feels this way after seeing Kincaid'due south, Wilkes', and Elton's decorations, which outnumbers his own.
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Bessara may exist a ruthless crime lord who's willing to betray anyone if he can profit from it just he truly loves his wife and daughter and treats the staff at his estate well.

• Everyone Has Standards: While on Liberty in in Tokyo, Shino decides to take Wilkes, Kincaid, and Mari to a "maid cafe" to mess with the Marines. Wilkes is uncomfortable to say the the least, but then is Kincaid, despite him beingness an anime nerd who's into maids.

But this was something else. And, for the start time in his life, the gunner was starting to seriously reconsider his choice in hobbies.

• Evil vs. Evil: Zorzal reveals the real reason Italica was attacked past bandits was considering they were paid off past the crown to acquit a scorched world entrada, removing Italica (a major economic hub) from the potential influence of their enemies. So the Empire paid bandits who would rape, murder, and burn anything in their path to destroy one of their own cities. It was only because of the effective defense force by Princess Pina and the combined U.s.a./JSDF forces that this was thwarted.
• Famed in Story: The crew of Here Nosotros Get Again are known throughout the Special Region as 'The Dragon Fighters'. Their tank is as well easily recognizable due to the scars in the armor from the dragon attack.

This unfortunately gets him in trouble later when he'due south in a Dearest Triangle between Aurea and Mari and doesn't have the guts to tell ane of them that he wants end their relationship and pursue the other.
• Fix Fic: As with virtually Gate fan fiction, the JSDF goes on a joint expedition into the Gate with elements of the USMC's third Marine Expeditionary Unit of measurement in an 'advisory' role.

  • Before the Battle of Italica, Itami suggests the tanks move up closer towards the skirmish line in order to cover that sector, without whatever infantry support.

  • In terms of experience, the entire platoon is this with the exception of Here We Get Once again's coiffure, the only veterans of the bunch.
  • The JSDF every bit a whole fall under this as well. Being constitutionally prohibited from deploying in any kind of combat or gainsay-related roles across Japanese soil (the Japanese authorities has alleged the Special Region to be Japanese territory), they lack the institutional experience of their American allies. Even their veteran NCOs take never seen gainsay, nor served with anyone who has, equally Sergeant Major Kurata points out.
• "Not So Dissimilar" Remark: While discussing the war in the Special Region with Jasper'south father, the Marines wonder why the enemy soldiers go on fighting the obviously superior Allied forces.

• 1 Steve Limit: Averted with Colonel Kane, commander of the USMC forces at Alnus, and Lady Kaine the head maid of the Formal mansion.
• Otaku: Jasper and Benitez are the rare specimens of Marines who are anime and manga fans, much to Itami and Kurata'south please, but to their young man crewmates chagrin.

This is because if it died from the Here We Become Once more's tank rounds, the Tuka arc with Yao would never happen, though not that it would affair in the finish equally the flame dragon ends upward getting killed off-screen anyhow.
• Politically Incorrect Hero: When it comes to humour, very little is off-limits for the Marines (the few things that are are very Serious Business), and they are happy to laugh at the expense of themselves, eachother, their Japanese allies, the Special Region, and anyone and everyone else. Ho Yay, N-Discussion Privileges, Asian Speekee Engrish / Japanese Ranguage, and Insult of Endearment abound.
• Poor Communication Kills:
  • While backing up from the flame dragon in Chapter 9, the tank encounters a Convenient Misfire and Wilkes tells the crew that the only manner to set up it is to stop and begin unloading the principal gun. Benitez mishears it as an immediate command to end and does then, giving the dragon time to shut the distance.

• Shut Up, Hannibal!: Rory gives an crawly one to a Japanese nationalist senator in front of the entire Diet.
