History Anime / Revisions

* MultiEthnicName: Gai and Lu's last name is foreign-sounding, and it implies that they may be of partial German ancestry. Also, their foreign-sounding first name makes it more mysterious.

* TheHero: Daisuke is TheProtagonist and Gai is TheLeader, so who is TheHero? [[spoiler:Funnily enough, Keisaku. It turns out that he was the one AHRV foresaw being the most important person in the Shibuya Drift and thus selected to be the first one to man a string puppet, with Daisuke only being considered a backup. He's also shown being able to keep the team together, defusing the fights between Daisuke and Gai ,and his death really hit all of them hard. The finale also explains that Nicholas tried to kill Daisuke several times in the past but Keisaku's remaining consciousness always prevented him from carrying it out. When he tries to kill Daisuke outside the confides of time, it is Keisaku who helps the others to reach out to Daisuke to help him get home and when Nicholas tries to take over Keisaku's body again, he nonchalantly shuts him up, explaining that since they're now connected, Keisaku can just do the same to Nicholas. Coupled with the fact that he was the only one who remained close friends with Daisuke in the seven years that followed the kidnapping, Keisaku is almost like a GuardianAngel to Daisuke.]]

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Milo has pink hair, while Mukyu has mint green hair. This helps making them stand out from the people of the past.

* ProphecyTwist: Nicholas reveals one as a WhamLine - [[spoiler:AHRV predicted ''Keisaku'' would become the most important person when Shibuya was transported in time, and that Daisuke was merely considered a backup. Daisuke becoming the first pilot threw their predictions off the rails.]]

* {{Hypocrite}}: The Revisions in spades. [[spoiler:They are more than happy to play the victim card because they suffer from a plague, but show no remorse for kidnapping and liquefying other people, even taking sadistic glee in killing the relatives of those that oppose them right in front of them. Also, when Daisuke offers to use Time Travel to try and fix the plague that caused the Revisions to become what they are, Nicholas rejects the proposal, because it would get rid of the Revisions as they are now, in a dominant position of power.]]

** The Revisions prove, time and time again, that they only care about their own survival at the expense of others. [[spoiler:They will go to great lengths to preserve their current selves, despite offers by others to try and fix their situation via Time Travel.]]

* TimeyWimeyBall: Milo's instructions to the kids in 2010 rely on a StableTimeLoop, but Shibuya being pulled out of its normal spacetime did not affect the past of the future. [[spoiler: Shibuya returning to normal spacetime with a cure for the pandemic is ''definitely'' not . Nicholas' power leads to changes to 2010 manifesting in 2017 in SanDimasTime, probably due to him having a perspective in both time periods - when child Daisuke is supposed to be killed in 2010, his friends suddenly remember his death - and then when adult Daisuke saves him, their memories flip back and they don't know why they remembered him dead. When Milo is stranded in 2010, she avoids any paradoxes by living down TheSlowPath and not contacting the students until 2017.]] Appropriately, in the quantum crystal, time looks more like a ball of yarn than a line.

Daisuke Doujima is a second-year high school student who, as a child, was kidnapped. Daisuke, along with his friends Gai, Luu, Marimari, and Keisaku, get wrapped up in the mysterious phenomenon known as the "Shibuya Drift." The central area of Shibuya rises up and is transported at least 300 years in the "future." What awaits them is a vast wasteland and forest dotted with ruins. There, they will work with the future people "revisions" to operate giant mechanical monsters. Daisuke meets a girl named Milo, who has the same name as the person who kidnapped Daisuke. Milo informs Daisuke that he's the only one who can operate the "doll weapon String Puppet" and protect Shibuya. Daisuke and his friends must take back the present by fighting the future in a town of isolation, against an unknown enemy.

Also, when Daisuke offers to use Time Travel to try and fix the plague that caused the Revisions to become what they are, Nicholas rejects the proposal, because it would get rid of the Revisions as they are now, in a dominant position of power.]]
* IdiotHero: Daisuke is practically a Deconstruction. He may have good intentions, but his recklessness and childishness make him a liability to his friends.

* InstantExpert: Because they were made specifically for them, Daisuke, Gai and Lu all manage to control the String Puppets very easily.

* OnlySaneMan: Keisaku is usually the one keeping Daisuke's rashness and Gai's realism under control.

* SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong: This is what AHRV, which Milo works for, is doing against the revisions, who want to change it for their own needs.
* SplitPersonalityMerge: [[spoiler: Nicholas' merge with Keisaku has the unintended consequence of Nicholas also able to manipulate the main body.]]

* TeamPrimaDonna: Daisuke's childishness and self-centered attitude doesn't make him popular with the rest of SDS. When the people were cheering for the team, he scowled at the fact that they wern't cheering for ''him'' specifically. He even ruins his birthday party by throwing a fit when told that Gai was made the leader of the team (although, if Daisuke were as GenreSavvy as he believes himself to be, [[RedIsHeroic then Gai's red suit]] [[RookieRedRanger should have been a dead giveaway...]])
* TheyCalledMeMad: After spending years being ignored, Daisuke becomes all giddy when there's an actual danger and he can play hero.
* WasOnceAMan: [[spoiler: The monstrous Civilians are humans who were horribly mutated by the pandemic that almost exterminated humanity 350 years prior.]]

Coupled with the fact that he was the only one who remained friends with Daisuke in the seven years that followed the kidnapping, Keisaku is almost like a GuardianAngel to Daisuke.]]

* BloodKnight: In the first episode, Daisuke is so obsessed with the idea of protective everyone that he will violently assault people at any excuse, including [[DisproportionateRetribution beating up a cyclist who bumped into Lu and didn't appologise]], despite Lu's objections. Heck, he even broke a complete stranger's ribs after seeing him talking with Marimari and all the poor guy did was ask her for directions!

* TeamPrimaDonna: Daisuke's childishness and self-centered attitude doesn't make him popular with the rest of SDS. He even ruins his birthday party by throwing a fit when told that Gai is the leader (although, if Daisuke were as GenreSavvy as he believes himself to be, [[RedIsHeroic then Gai's red suit]] [[SuperSentai should have been a dead giveaway...]]
