* PerfectionIsStatic: This is the big issue for Adam Weishaupt. He was created by the Custodians as a prototype for humanity. But they discarded him because he was deemed "too perfect" and thus couldn't grow or improve.

Trope name is Sci Fi Writers Have No Sense Of Scale, not any of its subpages. Discussion here.


* SciFiWritersHave/NoSenseOfEnergy: Dr. Ver exclaims that the energy released by Nephilim's heart that will vaporize the earth exceeds 1 trillion joules. This is roughly equivalent of 1 kiloton of TNT, or a third of the energy released in the Halifax Explosion of 1917. Of course, he does have a few screws loose so his thinking could be off...

** The FIS's lack of ethical restraint also contributes to creating another EvilCounterpart, though not one to any of the living heroines: in addition to wielding a [[DarkIsEvil black version]] of Kanade's Gear, [[TheDragon Maria]] is essentially what Kanade could have become [[ForWantOfANail if the government organization that took her in hadn't been as genuinely dedicated to her well-being]] as the 2nd Division.

* ForWantOfANail: In XDU, one story event has Miku travelling to an alternate universe to confront a Hibiki who grew cold and distant when her Miku moved away shortly after the [=ZweiWing=] tragedy, thus not giving Hibiki the confidence to resist the taunting she would be put through. This is doubly so because this attitude was somehow affecting the main Hibiki in the process.



* TheMultiverse: The main idea behind the special events of the ''XDU'' game that introduce cards for Gear users [[spoiler: who either died or lost their powers in the canon timeline, i.e. Kanade, Miku, and presumably Serena]]. Through the use of a special relic, the girls are able to travel to parallel worlds that are based on [[ForWantOfANail events that occurred differently]]. To date, here are the current events:

** Explained in full detail in XV: [[spoiler:When the Custodians used to keep an eye on earth, Their language and Humanity's language were once the same, and some of them, despite supposedly being above humans, became a part of human affairs quite frequently, with Enki and season one BigBad Finé having been lovers. The closeness between Humans and custodians is the reason for the advancements they made back then before the Custodians had to leave and place the Curse of Balal on the planet, lest Shem-ha turn Humanity into her slave beasts to eventually build an army big enough to destroy the other Custodians.]]

* FemalesAreMoreInnocent: Whenever the Gears go up against a female antagonist, said foe will at least have a sympathetic backstory to explain their actions, if not pull either a HeelFaceTurn or RedemptionEqualsDeath. By contrast, all of the male antagonists in the series (Dr. Ver, Adam Weishaupt, and Fudou Kanzanari) are shown to be irredeemably evil for one reason or another. [[spoiler:Only the FinalBoss of the series, Shem-Ha, is both female and lacking in a sympathetic motive or reason for her actions, but she is ultimately convinced to stand down by Hibiki]].

* ProbabilityPileup: Once ''GX'' reveals the existence of other kinds of Noise, each following season pops a new variant. The normal Noise were made by ancient humans who still had access to some Custodian technology. The Alca Noise are created with Alchemy, Karma Noise are from a parallel world, and Musha Noise are normal Noise that absorbed Muramasa fragments. They are all indestructible until the wielders get their symphogears upgraded.
