History Fanfic / HarryAndTheShipgirls

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: A plan to uncover the location Ancient Atlantic Gateway Princess's court resulted in her sending a series of images to the Ministry of Intelligence of her holding signs explaining that she has been playing the game of Intrigue since before most of their analysts were born. The final image? Porta, in a pair of sunglasses, with a black baseball cap backwards on her head, FlippingTheBird with both hands, while her forearms held up one last sign saying [[IShallTauntYou "GIT GUD, SCRUBS"]]. The Director of Intelligence gave the only proper response to that last one: A great big belly laugh.

* AnimateInanimateObject: Rose the Tea Set that was in possession of the Evans family for over a hundred years, gained awareness as a tsukumogami, and is able to project a human form that looks like a train conductor.

* AntiMagic: Shipgirls and the Abyssals are heavily resistant to magic, and those who spend a considerable amount of time near them tend to become so as well, most notably to the Obliviators' mind wipes.

* AsianFoxSpirit: The four-tailed kitsune Haru, who poses as a {{Miko}} taking care of a shrine dedicated to the departed sailors, but in reality guards Yokosuka Base from the supernatural. Her niece Natsumi is a one-tail and is Harry's pre-Hogwarts classmate. Later we meet Natsumi's parents and their friends Hoshi and Tsuki, the daughters of Tamamo-no-Mae.

* BadassBoast: "You want a fight, you termite-infested blue-belly?! Now you've got one, you up-gunned Damn-Yankee Garbage Scow! You've bought the whole fuckin' packet! I'm Kaylee Virginia [=McAmis=], daughter of Eric and Crystal [=McAmis=], granddaughter of James Aubrey Wilson [=McAmis=] and George Cecil Malone, and you ain't killin' me or mine, not today or any day! You hear me?! So come on, Kearsarge! Gimme your best shot! You wouldn't make a crotch-cricket in Alabama's petticoat, you hear me!?! WHOOO-EEEE! I'm a snappin' snarlin' she-wolf from outta the Tennessee Hills! Run, ya cow'rd if ya can!" The collected lines from a (probably canon) omake, shouted out as Kaylee charged an EldritchAbomination in a wooden dory with nothing but a few dozen revolvers.

* BalkanizeMe: Magical Japan's state. In the years following the Blood Week and the decapitation of the Tokyo Magical Diet, most of Magical Japan became decentralized as a matter of practical survival, and even if no-one actually seceded, many places have become de-facto mini-nations within the nation. And then Magical Kyoto, tired of Tokyo's continuous failure to deal with the on-going crisis, declared that they are re-organizing the magical government of Japan around themselves.

* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: a captured Ta-Class battleship bonds with her doctor after she suffers an emotional breakdown trying to understand the doctor’s kindness and altruism.

** The tsukumogami of Excalibur and her sheath, Avalon, inspire Nasu to write Fate/Stay Night.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Regina the Re-Class battleship is noted as being effectively Abyssal!Shinano, meaning most of the time she’s a [[GentleGiant sweet]] [[ShrinkingViolet gal.]] She outdoes her GenkiGirl counterpart Revina in sheer brutality and violence in combat however, literally tearing foes apart with her bare hands.

* BewareTheSillyOnes: British submarines (AKA the KNIGHTS OF THE UNDERSEA) spend the vast majority of their time in the story chewing the scenery, being goofy and in general making themselves impossible to ignore... but when they get serious, their ability to disappear is unparalleled.

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: This is the most charitable thing that can be said about Morrigan, as she saw a problem, enacted a solution with The Select, and doesn't see anything wrong with what she did. Other Pantheons vehemently disagree with her on this and her own pantheon has been forced to burn favors left and right, not to mention losing Champions to represent them to other pantheons who have cashed in on all the [=IOUs=], because of her.

* BoltOfDivineRetribution: {{Parodied}}. An Armored Carrier Princess in the Atlantic Ocean was giving Angband and her fleet some serious trouble. When Angband told her fleet to have faith that they would win for Porta, [[SmiteMeOMightySmiter Armored Carrier Princess dared Porta to strike her down.]] Meantime, Nagato, having just learned that Harry had been signed up for the Triwizard Tournament, threw a large steel ball that she normally used as a stress ball extremely hard from all the way in Yokosuka Naval Base...
** Also played straight in a side-story [[https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/harry-and-the-shipgirls-goblet-of-feels-pt-2.914187/post-74508668]]. [[spoiler: During Blood Week, the Abyssal 'Ivory Coast Demon' sets her sights on a church on St. Matthews, where a bishop of questionable piety (given the visibly pregnant nun at his side) warns her that God will strike her down if she sets foot on Holy Ground. A Ta-class scoffs at the idea, puts it to the test - and is promptly vapourised right out of her rigging by a classic bolt of divine wrath. The Demon herself is outraged at this, attempts to get her hands on the (equally-astonished) bishop 'responsible', and ''also'' gets the good news, but rather than a swift death via lightning, Big G decides that this smiting 'only' leaves her lamed by a bone-infection in her leg. Which never heals. Ten years later, Ivory Coast is still crippled by this injury, and [[UsefulNotes/HenryVIII has to drain her leg-sores of wastes so vile that the stench induces nausea in people two rooms away]].]]

* BrokenBird: Tatsuya Haneda, a BadassNormal who has been fighting an endless series of battles against supernatural foes since he was nine years old. By the time Harry interacts with him, he is distrustful of magic users outside of a small circle and so worn down that he might not be entirely stable.

* BrokenMasquerade: Not ''quite'' yet, but it is definitely getting there, especially with how the memory-altering spells normally used to enforce it are useless on shipgirls and anyone who spends enough time around one, and how the war is causing the ICW to need to pull manpower from the departments keeping things secret. [[spoiler:By the end of the second year the non-magical governments are informed and advised by concerned magical parties to prepare for the inevitable collapse of the Statute.]]
** During March of the fourth year the Masquerade finally collapses when a major magical incident is far too large and too viral to be covered up, leading to the non-magical governments 'in the know' to publicly inform their citizens that magic is real and lay out steps being taken to openly integrate magical and nonmagical populations. Notable among the rulers speaking in the aftermath of the Battle of Bathurst are the Emperor of Japan, Queen Elizabeth II, and the President of the United States.

* BullyingADragon: An [[https://yokai.fandom.com/wiki/Aka-Manto Aka Manto]] attempted to pull its usual trade on Hibiki. When Akatsuki checked the inside of the toilet stall afterwards, the aftermath of the beatdown left her rather grossed out.

-->Grabbing Hoppou and Rei with one hand, and Asuka and Seiko with the other, he pulled them into the van and slammed the door shut even as a nearby officer noticed and began running from the other side of the park. Moments later, Hoppou's voice drifted from the van, "Hoppou doesn't like meanies who want to hurt children."[[note]]While whatever Hoppou actually did has been left to the imagination, let's just say the man had to spend quite a period of time in the hospital before anyone could even think of moving him to prison.[[/note]]

* TheChosenOne: Brutally [[DeconstructedTrope deconstructed]] with The Select, whose ancestors were forcibly tasked by [[JerkassGods Morrigan]] to combat supernatural threats after the [[{{Masquerade}} Statute of Secrecy]] was enacted due to the magical world no longer doing so. The ones who show up are all [[ShellShockedVeteran emotional wrecks]] to some degree or another, or are borderline sociopaths, if not outright sociopaths due to the emotional toll this [[ForeverWar constant shadow war]] has taken on them.

* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: as payback for deliberately bailing on Nagato and forcing her to give the Talk to Harry alone, Goto, Richardson and Yonehara are confined to a room and given a “refresher” course on sexual education in the form of a powerpoint presentation... typed entirely in Comic Sans, using old HTML clip art illustrations, and presented by Kongou and Mikasa.

* DeathByAdaptation: The [[UsefulNotes/NorthKorea Kim Dynasty]] came to an abrupt end during Blood Week, not by the Abyssals, [[HoistByHisOwnPetard but by their own hand]]. Kim Jong-Il, [[InsaneTrollLogic believing South Korea was responsible for the Abyssals]], decided to nuke Seoul. [[EpicFail The nuke hit Pyongyang instead.]]

* DidYouJustRomanceCthulhu: Sirius Black romanced, and impregnated, a Forsaken Island Princess while he was escaping from Azkaban Island.

* DisproportionateRetribution: As per the original version of Medea's myth, Zeus tried to seduce her. Even though Medea refused his advances, Hera still tricked her into burning her children alive, just because Zeus had attempted to seduce her.

* DivineParentage: [[spoiler: King Arthur's Great-great-great-grandmother Bethany was the mortal incarnation of the Goddess Sul and is where he got his power from. His relics seem to have inherited his gifts. It's also the reason why [[BunnyEarsLawyer Prydwen]] was able to reserve those Hot Springs for 10 years; she's family.]]

* DrivenToSuicide: A Re-Class who lost her fleet at Scapa Flow decided to undertake a last "tour" visiting the places where her comrades sank, before going to Scapa Flow again and sink herself. Fortunately for her, her fallen comrades came back to life and the Scapa Flow herself materialized as an Installation to stop her.

* EnemyCivilWar: Most Abyssals barely tolerate each other and often fight each other for slights both real and perceived. The first big one came when many Abyssals took issue with Hoppou's very lenient stance on humans, resulting with two huge fleets nearly annihilating each other.

* EntertaininglyWrong: The [=MACUSA=] government. They believe that when the Statute falls, the end result will be the magical and non-magical worlds going to war against each other.
** They also believe that once the Abyssals have been defeated, humanity will turn against the Shipgirls due to how unnatural they are.

* EurekaMoment: After the boys & Lockhart have been thrown into The Chamber Of Secrets by Peeves and are dealing with a horde of Inferi, Lockhart prevents Neville from using a fire spell against them on the quite sensible grounds that it will either consume all the available oxygen and suffocate them, or catch some sewer gas and blow them all up. An exasperated Neville moans that they can't keep using Banishing Charms to fling them into walls partly for fear of bringing the roof down on them and partly because broken bones won't slow them down, which gives Lockhart the idea of using the deboning spell from earlier to immobilise them.

* ExactWords: Azkaban is holding to her agreement with Magical Britain to the letter of the agreement she has with them. At the same time, she is also holding ''them'' accountable to that agreement to the letter as well, meaning that she is not considering Sirius' acquittal valid. He was placed in her Maximum Security wing, so he is ''hers'' to do with as she pleases for the rest of his life, period.

* {{Expy}}: A handful of the Re-class battleships in the story have ended up being characterized as Abyssal versions of [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic the Mane Six.]] Most prominent are Revina and Regina, who imitate Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy, respectively.
** As of the Battle of Saint Kitts, Regina can also be one for [[Anime/DragonBallSuperBroly Broly]]. She is normally extremely gentle, but if she is truly angered, she becomes death incarnate to her enemies.

** The name alone makes it blatantly obvious who [[Literature/CiaphasCain Commodore Chiaphasas]] of Porta‘s fleet is based on.

* FanNickname: Ofuda made by Natsumi, which are painted by a brush that has unicorn hair on it are very effective against [[HolyBurnsEvil anything evil or created by evil]] are called by people in the threads Nuke-fuda due to how bright the light they produce is.

* FantasticGhetto: A few that are mentioned:

--->"Ah…" Tears spilled out and leaked from under her glasses thick frames when Shimazu returned the loving embrace. "Yes. I'm finally back, and I shall visit once more as soon as I am allowed."

* FunWithAcronyms: The Kyoto Ministry had fun naming the exams for students while Mahoutokoro was under Abyssal occupation. The year-end exams for students were called the Intentionally Selective Elective and Knowledge Aptitude Initiative, or [[TrappedInAnotherWorld I.S.E.K.A.I.]], while the aptitude tests at the end of the seventh year were called the Selected Elective Initiation of Nasty Exam Notoriety, or [[{{Seinen}} S.E.I.N.E.N.]].

* GeniusLoci: The spirits of Hogwarts, the Forbidden Forest, and the Great Lake, who during their meeting also discuss the spirit of Azkaban.
** Later on, more location spirits are awakened, including the spirit of the Port of Halifax which in turn causes the battlefield of Verdun which has been sealed away to begin to awaken.

* GlowingEyes: Harry's eyes glow when he uses onmyodo.

* GracefulLoser: Crabbe, after Neville beats him at Texas Hold Em (Four Of A Kind Jacks beats Full House) with Chocolate as the betting material. After all, it's not like he paid for any of it; Draco did.
** KnowWhenToFoldEm: Goyle saw what was about to happen coming and folded beforehand.

* GroundShatteringLanding: In trying to get underneath Harry as he was struggling with his jinxed broom, Hamakaze jumping down off the bleachers and onto the Quiddich pitch ''craters'' the ground beneath her, the impact tremor so powerful that it disrupts Quirrelmort's concentration and spell.

* HalfHumanHybrid: Lily Potter (née Evans) was an Unawakened natural-born Shipgirl. As a result, Harry himself is half-shipgirl, allowing him a very limited use of shipgirl equipment, as well as able to see and feel Shipgirls, Abyssals, and other spiritual and/or supernatural beings.

* HappilyAdopted: Harry and Hoppou.

* HoldTheLine: The Battle of St.Brendan's Isle, where the island residents sortied against the abyssal force in outdated pre-WWI ships, including a Torpedo Boat (who summoned herself in the heat of battle) to hold until the Shipgirls arrive.

* HolyBurnsEvil: [[spoiler:Ever since Shiromizu (a very young river snake[=/=]dragon goddess) beat up Voldemort, the latter had to constantly feed on more victims to stay alive. And it is hinted that Harry also transfers some of the purification effect of his ofuda through their connection.]]
** The Dementors learn this the hard way, three times. The third time is very notable as Harry's supercharged ofuda, drawing on Amaterasu's power, [[spoiler:destroyed more than a hundred and scared the rest off. Then to add further insult to injury, the surviving Dementors run into Catherine, the tsukumogami of the Sword of St. Catherine, Jeanne D'Arc's sword, who uses her faith in God to decimate the survivors and release the souls they consumed.]] All told, only about two dozen Dementors at most, out of hundreds, survived.
** It gets even better. Because [[GeniusLoci Azkaban]] had connected herself to the Dementors when she sensed Catherine, she was hurt as a direct result.

* HuntingTheMostDangerousGame: Walden [=MacNair=] was guilty of this.
** UnderestimatingBadassery: The guy had spaces on his trophy wall for the heads of Nagato and Hoppou, either of which would have turned his attempts to hunt them into TheHunterBecomesTheHunted.

* ItsAllAboutMe: Harry though that Horcrux Riddle was so full of himself that he was practically a chunni.

* LifeDrinker: Horcuxes only last as long as the one's natural lifespan, and to get around it Voldermort put a spell on his followers' Dark Marks that when said followers get killed, their remaining lifespan will be transferred to him, potentially giving thousands of extra years just from the casualties in the First War. [[spoiler: Then Harry happened, connecting them, and their First Year encounter made the boy's divine magic consume the accumulated extra years and redirect it towards the summoning of the paper ships.]]

* MagicIsAMonsterMagnet: Concentrations of negative energy, such as the sites of large massacres, attract Abyssals.

* MamaBear: If you try harming one of [=DesDiv6=], Tenryuu will give you a closer view of her sword than you would ever want, as both a Re-class (who she cut in half) and a Light Cruiser Water Princess (who ended up impaled to the hilt) can attest.

* {{Masquerade}}: That is in process of unraveling due to the Abyssal War, and the vast majority of magicals are in blatant denial, while a small minority are preparing for heads to roll once it Statue of Secrecy finally collapses.

* MayflyDecemberFriendship: Nagato doesn't like to think about the possibility of outliving her son Harry.
** This is one of the things that tsukumogami have to deal with as their mortal owners and friends will inevitably die. A notable example of this is Colombe du Chasteler who starts as the 'oldest daughter' of Jean-Francois, and has to come to terms at the funerals of her Papa, stepmother, brothers, sisters, nephews, nieces, grandnephews, grandnieces and eventually a pair of great-grandnephews while not outwardly aging.
* MayflyDecemberRomance: In the same vein, Haru warns Natsumi that this is inevitable if she decides to pursue Harry.

* MightMakesRight: Fenrir Greyback the werewolf believes in this, and takes advantage of the collapsing [[{{Masquerade}} Statute of Secrecy]] to attack and turn people more openly as an act of superiority, going as far as to attempt an attack on a brother of a natural-born shipgirl just to make a point.

* MixAndMatchCritters: Prinz Eugen adopted (or got adopted by) a Tanzelwurm she named Matilda, a large cat with a lower body of a serpent. The wizards who initially tried (and failed) to cover it up, decided that it was ultimately not worth angering a shipgirl any further and cut their losses.

* MuggingTheMonster: over the years, several of Japan's less pleasant yokai have tried to prey on kanmusu, or family members like Jane Richardson and Harry Nagato-Potter. It has ''never'' ended well for the yokai.

* MundaneSolution: While everybody else discussed how to find info on Nicholas Flamel, the lack of progress on that front and how apparently the wizards had hidden it, Niyodo simply looked him up on the internet.

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Killing Quirrel put Harry into this state for weeks, until Haruna convinced him to let it all out.

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Diarymort chose to curse Malfoy to still be aware of the world before having the basilisk paralyze him. As a result, the Malfoys will have nothing to do with him now.

* ObstructiveBureaucrat: The reason why Shiromizu decided to hide on the Shipgirl naval base instead of going to the magical authorities to request protection. They might have killed her on the spot for not being on her designated reservation, might have simply sent her back, and in the ''unlikely'' case they might have listened, the actual bureaucracy would take too long.

* OhCrap: Japan is briefly driven into a panic when a massive Abyssal fleet, numbering in the dozens and containing multiple Princesses and Demons, is discovered to be closing in on the Kushiro naval base. [[spoiler:It’s the surviving members of Hoppou’s old fleet, coming to surrender to the humans so they can be with their mother again.]]

* TheOldGods: The primordial entity known only as Wolf Mother originally gave some humans the ability to assume a lupine form. Even after she spent an unknown amount of time sealed away, with her gift twisted into a curse, she is still powerful enough that just bumping into the likes of Odin tends to make him have a [[BringMyBrownPants brown trousers moment]].
** China has Fox-Sibling, primordial deity of foxes, who threatens to awaken while China is going through the messy province of deciding who receives the Mandate of Heaven. Sun Wukong[[note]]Bear in mind the guy made himself immortal five times over[[/note]] says he'd have the best chance of surviving against her, simply because he's so hard to kill.

* PaperThinDisguise: Hermione conceals her shipgirl nature while at school, as she is on a mission to learn more about the magical world from the perspective of an ordinary witch. Everyone who has ever spent time with shipgirls can see right through her.

* PatrioticFervor: Aso, of the wrong kind. She cannot accept that the Empire of Japan was bad or wrong in any way, denies its war crimes, and hates foreigners in general and Americans in particular. Houshou and Katsuragi (who is less than 6-years old here) are among the very few who try to be friendly with her. [[spoiler:Aso also uses this extreme nationalism as a crutch for her insecurities, and when she undergoes HeelRealization by meeting a group that is much, much worse than her, she comes dangerously close to suffering a total mental breakdown.]]

* PlausibleDeniability: Tanzelwurms are on the list of magical creatures that are allowed to be discovered, just in case further coverup proves to be impossible, as other than their unusual appearances they have no overt magical traits.

* ThePowerOfLove: Lily's blood wards needs either a blood relation or unconditional love towards the warded one, and Nagato more than provides the latter for Harry.

* RefugeInAudacity: Revina, a Re-class battleship, accompanied her boss, Wanko, to Yokosuka to check on Hoppou. While Wanko had a [[PerceptionFilter ring with powerful enchantments meant to make her unnoticeable]], Revina donned a hat and glasses (plus a wig and Groucho Marx glasses for her tail) as a disguise. It ''almost'' worked...

* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: The Abyssals tried to pass the blame of their own attempt on Hoppou on humans, in hopes of getting Wanko into this state. She did... against the Abyssals, after she found out about the treachery.

* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: On occasion throughout the war - but in no more powerful case than during Blood Week - magicals defied The Statute of Secrecy and their own governments in order to help save lives, be they ordinary citizens or magical beings, or even Aurora, who in any other situation would have been locking up such blatant breaches.

* SpiderPeople: Kuroshi the Jorogumo, who seeks to devour Youkai for their powers (an ability she has taken from an evil wizards who wished to do the same, he just had a misfortune to use it on her), with power of divinity high on her list, which she hopes to attain by devouring Shiromizu. [[spoiler:Got killed in attempt to do so.]]
** Kuroshi was a bit of an outlier in terms of her habits. Due to conditions in the [[FantasticGhetto reserves]], other jorogumo were forced to overcome their predatory natures and learn to coexist with other creatures. Needless to say, they are much nicer as a result.
* StickyFingers: Played for Laughs. It turns out that the Potter family has earned a reputation as "Bloody Magpies," much to Harry's bemusement. Such item acquired by the Potters include an F-14 Tomcat stolen by Lily, MULTIPLE B-24 bombers taken after World War II, various tanks, and Honjo Masamune. In the case of Honjo, Harry's grandfather won a bet against an American wizard aliased as Coldy Bimore. Subverted with Juuchi Yosamu, as that blade has become a legitimate heirloom that [[spoiler:can only be controlled or wielded by a Potter]].

* TakeThat: Admiral Aetos of Greece took a jab at Rowling's lore that Bellerophon was just a normal wizard and Pegasus a normal winged horse. [[spoiler:Considering that Aetos is actually none other than Medea of Colchis herself, she would know better.]]

* TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler: This was the Kamo Government's plan when they saw that Japan would lose World War II. They dubbed it Operation Tatarigami, after extremely powerful ghosts of vengeance that could cause natural disasters.]]

* TalkingInYourDreams: has occurred several times in the story, for shipgirls and Abyssals (usually close to Harry) undergoing upgrades or reconstruction.

** Regalia the defective Re-class meets James and Lily while under reconstruction, and together they connect to the “sea of stars”—the afterlife of benevolent Abyssals—where her her deceased aunts get the chance to meet their niece and ask her to pass on a message to Hoppou.

* TangledFamilyTree: The situation regarding Harry’s extended family has become... ''complicated'', to say the least. [[spoiler: The most recent additions to his family include a clan of Yokai, has a Fae ancestor, and (by having Hoppou as his adopted sister) close to a hundred Abyssals.]]

* TinyGuyHugeGirl: Anyone who ends up with an Abyssal Princess in their romantic lives ([[spoiler: Ron with Summer, Percy with Supprin, even Hagrid with Wanko]]).
** YourSizeMayVary: Considering their true size is in the region of 30-40ft tall]] (as can be seen in the Arcade game and in some character art with a reference object, like Summertime Supprin and the 205L drum). Here Summer is ''only'' 9ft tall.

--> '''Lily''': "Just be careful out there, James. It's rather muggy outside."
-->(Beat)
--> '''James''': "OH FOR MERLIN'S SAKE, LILY! DID YOU HONESTLY HAVE TO PLACE ALL OUR MUGS OUT ON THE FRONT LAWN IN HOPES OF MAKING THAT PUN!?"
--> '''Lily''': "WOULD I BE ME IF I DID NOT, JAMSIE!?"

* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: This is one of the big differences between the Tokyo Government and the Kyoto Government. While Tokyo [[FantasticRacism refuses to treat]] {{Yokai}} as equal to humans, Kyoto maintains that humans and Yokai are equals.

--> '''Verniy''': "You're a good uncle, Harry-Chan."
--> '''Harry''': "Well, um... I never expected to be one. And when I wonder what I'm supposed to do, I ask myself... What would Vernon do? Then I do the exact opposite."
* WhiteSheep: Regalia, a Re-Class who was born crippled until she was repaired by Hoppou, is also the only Re-Class who never had a [[LiteralSplitPersonality demon]]. Even Regina, who is a cinamon roll around Harry, has one.

* YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe: Verily! The Ham & Cheese Subs doth speak in this manner. Or at least they do in front of their Lord and Master, [[spoiler: HMS Hermione Granger]].

* IndimidationDemonstration: After Harry defeated Quirrelmort, RO, while guarding Harry, decided to demonstrate to Auror Hestia Jones that any attempts on Harry's life would meet a swift end.

* BigBadassBattleSequence: The Battle of Saint Kitts between a multinational shipgirl force led by [[DreamTeam HMS Duke of York, USS Pennsylvania, U-96, and USS Enterprise]] and an alliance of Abyssals led by [[BigBad City Consuming Princess]], Guinea Gulf Princess, and [[TheDragon Middle Passage Princess]]. Notably it covers [[ParallelConflictSequence all aspects of WWII naval warfare]] in submarine and antisubmarine warfare, carrier duels, and battleship slugging matches. [[note]] The actual capital ship lineup was 24 carrier shipgirls, 22 battleship shipgirls, and 6 battlecruiser shipgirls referenced or shown on-screen. The Abyssal carrier force was 57 fleet and light carriers under command of Middle Passage Princess.[[/note]]

* TheyDo: The Big Fat Kanmusu Wedding between Haruna and Rose, overseen by the ghost of the late Imperial Prince Nobuhito and attended by the Emperor of Japan (Nobuhito's nephew) and the Good doG, among many other distinguished guests.
** Delilah and Zamarad's wedding had to be kept a secret to MACUSA and many of Delilah's friends and coworkers. However, the jinn on Zamarad's side of the family threw a [[ConspicuousConsumption massive wedding celebration]] involving tamed lions, elephants and nundu pulling chariots that the groom and bride's parties rode in, gold and silver coins thrown to the crowd, entertainers juggling fireballs, a [[ItMakesSenseInContext buffet of exotic American hardwoods]], and the now-married couple seated on a golden divan after exchanging their rings.

** Percy Weasley started out in TriangRelations with Ooyodo and a Supply Depot Princess named Supprin. Then Amisi the Egyptian sunshipgirl inserted herself into the mix.

* TriangRelations: Gale, Wash and Kirishima have, with the birth of Gale's children, evolved from a Type 6 to a full Type 8.
** Akagi and Kaga are in at least a Type 7 with Natsumi's older brother Taichi.
*** Considering that [[https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/harry-and-the-shipgirls-a-hp-kancolle-snippet-collection.413375/post-38564128 an earlier snippet]] had Akagi and Kaga making out in the hallway during a Christmas party, it is most definitely a Type 8.
** The destroyer Shigure seems to be in her own Type 6 with the battleships Fuso and Yamashiro.
** Fred and George Weasley, peculiarly enough, seem to be in a reverse Type 3 with Revina. [[note]]Revina has made it quite clear that she is interested in the Twins, but they seem to find her too crazy even for them.[[/note]]
** Lieutenant James Hunter is the Master, Estelle Barmejo is the Mistress and HMS Sirius is the loyal Maid in a full Type 8.

** During Second Year, Harry uses Polyjuice Potion to transform into Isokaze (as a test to see if it can work if the subject is a shipgirl) and notes that her GagBoobs are really throwing off his center of balance. During Fourth Year, when she's going to turn into him [[spoiler:to bluff Barty Crouch Jr. while Harry visits Ginzan]], Harry suggests she try transforming into him early on so she's used to the different center of gravity.

** As one might expect from the Malfoy Family, they have their own set of '''massively''' tangled family relationships. Thanks to Lucius Malfoy's paternal grandmother being the daughter of the then-head of the French Malfoy branch (who married her British cousin around the time of World War I), and Colombe du Chasteler being the (adopted) bastard daughter of the oldest son of the then-head of the French Malfoy branch (from the 1600s), Lucius and Colombe consider each other cousins (technically 'third cousins twelve times' removed). Which makes Ehren and Draco fourth cousins legally (well outside the bounds of consanguinuity but still distant relations marrying each other), and Ehren a 'first cousin six times removed' to Fleur Delacour (who is descended from an illegitimate child of Colombe's great-grandnephew Raoul du Chasteler in the 1850s). This just becomes more complex when Draco marries Ehren and three shipgirls (with USS Johnston having 174 ''Fletcher''-class destroyer siblings, HMS Cleopatra having fifteen ''Dido''-class cruiser sisters (including Hermione Granger, as well as HMS Dido and HMS Sirius, both of whom are in their own polycule that includes Ehren's oldest half-sister Estelle), and SMS Niobe having her own set of nine ''Gazelle''-class light cruiser sisters. This also doesn't count the fact that the Malfoys have blood ties to botht he Muggle Paulet family (the Marquesses of Winchester) and the magical MacMillains, or that Draco has easily 20 descendants, several of the girls are the product of two of his four wives (although all are Blood Adopted by him and treated as his children even if IE Helene Malfoy is actually a cross between Cleoptra and Ehren genetically).

* EverybodyKnewAlready: When Hermione reveals to Ron and Neville that she is a Shipgirl, she is mortified that Ron, Harry and everybody else who spent time with Shipgirls knew that already.

--->She couldn't wait for Cupid's arrow to find her too, just like Ehren had been struck in the heart by Draco.

--->Draco and Niobe had cracked the pain and hurt around Ehren's heart to allow that tender, hesitant melody that she only played in privacy to be heard. Watching how Ehren was learning how to be happy under all the ice and duty that hid herself away from most of the world, made Claire happy in ways that she never knew that she could be happy. That happiness was why Claire had agreed to help Best Evil Little Cousin Nimue gently nudge a certain Prussian soloist's melodies toward the string quartet that Draco, Niobe, Johnston, and Cleopatra were playing in harmony with each other.

--->Claire would do '''anything''' to make Ehren happy.

--->Even watch her avatar go to Hogwarts without Claire to share what happened there.

--->Because only there could that symphony take the next step as the theme developed as it must with the piano silent or playing unheard backing melodies while the soloists intertwined their instruments over the next measures.

--->And in the end, this performance was not about the lead piano's selfish needs and wants, but about the orchestra as a whole.

--->"I do not know for sure. But I think I can say, with confidence if you trust this 'pretty voice,'" Tokunotakai laughed gently, making fun of the hateful insult that had been flung by Shimazu back durign World War II, "that you have perhaps found wisdom once again. Perhaps a bit later than I had hoped for your behalf, but you have returned. Just as I returned to the path of wisdom after my own folly and blindness during Meiji as a sadder but wiser sister, it is good to see my sister return to me once more, just a bit later than usual."
