History Anime / TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteelNorthernWar

* ForegoneConclusion: Seeing as how the anime is an interquel between the events of ''Cold Steel II'' and ''Cold Steel III'', and that the latter revealed the conclusion of the war near the beginning of the game, it's clear that [[spoiler:North Ambria will become a part of the Erebonian Empire and Rean will lose his control of his [[SuperMode Spirit Unification]] thanks to this war.]] [[spoiler:As if to hammer the point home, Jayna is shown to be stockpiling archaisms; archaisms attacking civilians was what caused Rean to go berserk.]]

Not long before, the Northern Jaegers, spooked by reports of an [[HumongousMecha unknown Soldat]] that [[OneManArmy single-handedly repelled Calvardian forces]] in Erebonian-occupied Crossbell, send Instructor Lavian Winslet, granddaughter of North Ambria's hero-turned-traitor Vlad, and her team to Erebonia to infiltrate the nation and collect information of Erebonia's [[HeroAntagonist national hero]] and his secret weapon before his presence threatens all of North Ambria and its inevitable war with TheEmpire.

''The Legend Of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel - Northern War'' [[{{Interquel}} takes place between]] the events of ''Cold Steel II'' and ''Cold Steel III'' and depicts the events of the Northern War between Erebonia and North Ambria. The first episode aired on January 8, 2023 with ''Website/{{Crunchyroll}}'' simulcasting the show.

* TheWorfBarrage: Calvardian tanks and gunships concentrate their fire on Valimar, who shrugs it all off and Rean returns the favor by destroying the tanks and gunships all in one go.

* OneManArmy: Ream piloting Valimar is basically this on a battlefield, with his flight capabilities and strengthened combat experiences from fighting in the civil war against comparably skilled pilots and machines, particularly [[TheRival Crow]], making him unmatched when facing off against the under-equipped tanks and airplanes neighbouring countries posses. The fact that the Empire is the only one capable of producing [[MiniMecha Soldats]] (disregarding Oroborous and their machinations) means the surrounding countries simply don't have anything capable of realistically defeating such a powerful machine with a skilled pilot behind it.

* TheDreaded: Rean and Valimar in this anime end up becoming this in the eyes of Calvard and North Ambria, which is why the Northern Jaegers send Lavian and her team to collect intel on him. His almost [[OneManArmy single-handedly pushing back the republic's forces in Crossbell]] have lead to them being concerned that, if the Empire decides to expand and convert North Abria as well, nothing the struggling country can scrape together would be capable of stopping him -- and given the feats Rean has pulled off in Valimar up to that point, ''they're right''.

The Principality of North Ambria is considered in Zemuria as the least developed country due to the [[ApocalypseHow Salt Pale Incident]] that struck the land in the year S. 1178. For its citizens to survive, many have joined a group that will do anything for money called the "Northern Jaegers", said to be the largest jaeger group in the continent. The Northern Jaegers have done a lot of dirty deeds in their name to send money to its citizens back home to help out in rebuilding the nation.

One such deed was during the CivilWar that happened in Erebonia on December 23, S. 1204 where the market town of Celdic was burned to the ground by the Northern Jaegers, under the orders of Duke Helmut Albarea of the Noble Alliance. When the Reformists ultimately won against the Noble Alliance, the government demanded accountability for what had happened at Celdic. While negotiations were happening between Erebonia and the North Ambria Parliament, the latter was seized by the Northern Jaegers on July 5, S. 1205 and claimed that they [[NeverMyFault should not be held accountable]] for what had happened at Celdic.

It is at this time that the Northern Jaegers send Instructor Lavian Winslet, granddaughter of North Ambria's former hero turned traitor Vlad, and her team to Erebonia to infiltrate the nation and collect information of Erebonia's [[HeroAntagonist national hero]] [[HumongousMecha and his secret weapon]] before his presence threatens all of North Ambria and its inevitable war with TheEmpire.

* ActionGirl: It's a ''Trails Series''; this trope was going to happen with Lavian Winslet being the second female protagonist of the series after [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsInTheSky Estelle Bright]], who is also a part of the Northern Jaegers.
* AChildShallLeadThem: Lavian leads her team into the empire to spy on Erebonia's national hero and bring back any intel they have on him.
* DivingSave: While Lavian's falling with a monster chasing after her, Rean dives to save her in his arms.
* ForegoneConclusion: Seeing as the anime is an interquel between the events of ''Cold Steel II'' and ''Cold Steel III'' and that ''Cold Steel III'' reveals the conclusion of the war early in the game, it's clear that [[spoiler:North Ambria will become a part of the Erebonian Empire and Rean will lose his control of his [[SuperMode Spirit Unification]] thanks to this war.]]

* HeroAntagonist: Rean, the protagonist of the ''Cold Steel'' saga, is an antagonist in the anime due to viewing the events from North Ambria's side.
* HumongousMecha: Various Drakkhen soldats appear in the anime as well as Valimar, the empire's secret weapon.
* ImprobableAge: At 15 years old, Lavian is already an instructor for the Northern Jaegers.
* OneHitPolykill: Rean inside Valimar is capable of destroying three Calvardian gun ships in one slash with his Zemurian tachi.
