"Someone had to write about information technology you know? Put our feelings down on paper, funny right? You'd think being a tank crewman is all explosions and saving the mean solar day. Fist bumping and blasting rock music as the enemy runs away from you."

"Yous couldn't be any farther from the truth..."

"Then here it is, all of it, everything from the beginning to the end. Whether or not you want to judge us for who or what we are or what we did is up to you lot, I couldn't care less to exist honest. I did my part, I protected my brothers and nosotros laid down the armies of tyrants."

  • Affiliate 15. Bozes' introduction has Elton giving her such an intimidating threat that she and her knights actually stand downward, fugitive Itami's canon scenario of being captured and tortured altogether. It helps when there's a tank scarred with dragon-sized claw marks and, also, literally completely covered in claret from the previous boxing.

  • The marines are shown to be this style in comparison to the JSDF'southward antics. Afterward killing around 120,000 enemy combatants in the Battle of Alnus Colina, they act equally if it was a daily routine.
    • This is at least partially explained by the Marines doing what they did before- namely, these are hardened veterens of the Afghanistan disharmonize, non the relatively untested JSDF..

  Kincaid: We're not trying to break a runway or blow the engine.

  Itami: Uh, yes, what he means is the wagon will break!

• Car Fu: Or rather Tank Fu, where the tanks very oftentimes run over their enemies due to Zerg Blitz tactics of an junior armed force.
  • Averted in one case below in Heroic BSoD, where Benitez risks the squad when he hesitates to run over several enemy troops due to the sheer cruelty of information technology.

  • Here Nosotros Become Once more experiences this as they begin to run out of ammo during the battle. After exhausting their shell supply for the main gun, they switch to their coaxial mounts. After they run out of bullets for the M240Cs and the .50 cal, they go out the vehicle and fight off the marauders with various pocket-sized artillery and bits of hand-to-manus combat.
• Contrived Coincidence: The but reason Jasper and the Charlie Company tanks have the limelight is due to a last-infinitesimal articulation do in Nihon.

This backfires when the tank breaks down in the heart of the fight with the Flame Dragon, resulting in others having to come to help get the tank working again.
• Convenient Misfire: In Chapter ix, a bad vanquish prevents Here We Go Again from finishing off the flame dragon. Truthful to realism, the tank crew had to go through a long tedious process to notice the crusade of the jam earlier fixing information technology (doing otherwise risks having the High-Explosive Anti-Tank circular cook off in the breech, which would be very, very bad). By the time they figured out what's wrong, its already as well belatedly....

• Cool vs. Crawly: M1A1 Abrams Tank vs. The Flame Dragon!
  • F35s vs. The Flame Dragon!

  • On the other end, Kincaid and the rest of the Horsemen (well, 1985 versions of them) accept appeared in The Boysof 85, which is written past a colleague of Shmack'southward.
• Cutting the Knot: The canon scene where Bozes captures Itami is completely averted past the crew of Here Nosotros Go Once again, pointing out that a) The tank they're riding on is nevertheless covered in claret from some of the ten thousand people they helped kill the dark before, b) the harm to the tank was from when they took on a Flame Dragon, and c) They take a tank.
• Deadpan Snarker: Pretty much most of the characters. Its an inherent trait of Marine Corps.
  • Surprisingly, Sgt. Kurokawa is given this trait too in this fic.

  Kincaid: And in that location you become putting the fearfulness of god into me.
  Kurokawa: Which ane, yours or Emroy?
  Kincaid: The one that doesn't take psychotic apostles running effectually.
  Kurokawa: Do the Crusades count?

  • Itami plays a much reduced part from the one he does in canon. That beingness said, he's still there and it'due south implied that some of the events in canon are however happening with him offscreen.
  • Zorzal is a secondary antagonist at all-time, and Tyuule gets but a few brief mentions. Zorzal's death at his sister's easily in the final chapter means that his and Tyuule's schemes never happen in this version of the story.

• Easy Logistics: Averted. The coiffure of Hither Nosotros Go Again is aghast at the thought of a tank being sent out for recon, due to the fact that one of the main reasons tanks go in platoons is to minimize breakdowns and cover each other should 1 become disabled or pinned down. After the fiasco with the flame dragon, control finally learns its lesson and deploys all iv tanks WITH the M88 Recovery Vehicle for good measure during the Italica mission, but still insists afterwords that the crew of Here We Go Once more would continue to deploy with Itami'southward team at the latter's behest.
• Elites Are More than Glamorous: Special forces get their fair fleck of recognition in the story with Helm Recker (Navy SEALs) and Emerson (MARSOC). The JSDF SFG commandos are quite deadly likewise.
  • Somewhat averted in passing regarding the tanks themselves- the The states tanks taken through the Gate are grooming tanks, which weren't supposed to see combat. Front line tanks would have been more than constructive since they're amend repaired and equipped, but the point is basically moot.

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

Information technology was just because of the effective defence force past Princess Pina and the combined USA/JSDF forces that this was thwarted.

• Politically Incorrect Hero: When it comes to humor, very footling is off-limits for the Marines (the few things that are are very Serious Business), and they are happy to express mirth at the expense of themselves, eachother, their Japanese allies, the Special Region, and anyone and anybody else. Ho Yay, Due north-Give-and-take Privileges, Asian Speekee Engrish / Japanese Ranguage, and Insult of Endearment abound.
• Poor Communication Kills:
  • While bankroll up from the flame dragon in Chapter 9, the tank encounters a Convenient Misfire and Wilkes tells the crew that the but manner to gear up it is to end and brainstorm unloading the main gun. Benitez mishears information technology as an immediate command to stop and does so, giving the dragon fourth dimension to close the distance.
