'''[[ComicallyMissingThePoint Caboose]]''': [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers Spacemen]].\\

* RefusalOfTheCall: [[spoiler:When Felix arrives at the canyon and tells the Reds and Blues that he has come to recruit them to help the New Republic the gang refuses to fight in the CivalWar and points out that its not their problem. After the group gets separated thanks to Locus and the Federal Armies attack on the canyon the Reds and Blues that were rescued by the New Republic change their minds and decide to fight in order to save their friends.]]

* SpellMyNameWithAnS:
** Fans can't seem to agree on whether the main setting of the story arc is spelled as Chorus, Korus, Corus, Chaurus, or any other number of combinations. The Chorus pronunciation was confirmed to be canon.
** Until it was confirmed by the credits to be spelled with an E, there was a great deal of discussion over whether it was Doctor Gray or Doctor Grey. In compromise, some people just used Graey.

-->'''Freckles''': Do not talk back to your commanding officer.\\

'''Tucker and Washington''': [What?!\\

-->'''Dos.0''': [[spoiler:He's insane. ''[[DespairEventHorizon They're all insane.]]'']]

-->'''Zachary:''' It was like the ship tried to jump to slipspace, change course and power down, all at the same time. It didn't make any sense! Instead of pulling you down, the ship got...ripped apart.

* RememberWhenYouBlewUpASun: A variant. Grif tells a long story (that isn't really even exaggerated) about how the Reds and Blues (primarily him) took down the Meta. The New Republic army is in awe.

-->'''Tucker:''' Are you...trying to give a motivational speech right now?

** Heartrendingly deconstructed in the final episode. [[spoiler:Epsilon-Church sacrifices himself to give Tucker enough power to run Maine's suit and help make sure that the Reds and Blues will survive Charon's {{Last Stand}}. But before he does, he gives a brief speech about how he'll die never knowing whether or not he made a difference, something usually left out of the narrative. To emphasize this, the season ends [[InactionSequence right before the audience finds out how the fight actually goes]].]]

* ADateWithRosiePalms: Tucker's version of the USNC motto is "When in doubt, rub one out".

** Simmons' [[SuperOCD many neuroses]] cause him to have a near-breakdown when stuck sharing a room with Grif, which leads to some increasingly surly behavior on his part.

** In "The End Is Near", when Felix is going after the Reds and Blues, he says, "I'm not doing this for Hargrove. I'm doing this for ''me''." Later that episode, [[spoiler:when Locus defects, he says, "I'm not doing this for the reward. I'm not doing this because someone told me to. I'm doing this for ''me''."]]

* IronicEcho: In Season 12, Locus' response to Wash calling him a "monster" was [[NotSoDifferentRemark "I'm not a monster. I'm a soldier, like you"]]. [[spoiler: In Season 13, Episode 19, when [[VillainousBreakdown Felix is pleading for him to help him kill the Reds and Blues]], reminding him that he is a soldier, Locus responds with, [[HeelRealization "I'm not a soldier. I'm a monster, like you."]]]]

-->'''Kimball''': You should have thrown that sword off the mountain and taken the fucking bullet.

-->'''Kimball''': [[spoiler:Fight because you deserve to ''fucking WIN!'']]

-->'''Price''': [[RunningGag Oh, son of a bitch...]]

* ADeathInTheLimelight: [[spoiler:Epsilon-Church gets the lion's share of the focus this season, and it ends with him performing a HeroicSacrifice with no possible way for him to come back this time]].

* During ''WebAnimation/RedVsBlueTheChorusTrilogy'', in the middle of a heated argument between Wash and Tucker, with the Reds and Caboose watching on, right as they are about to erupt in a brawl, a gunshot rings out, along with Tex's leitmotif, which means a whole load of ass-kicking is about to-- [[TheDayTheMusicLied wait, never mind, it's just Donut]].

The eleventh through thirteenth seasons of ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'', filmed almost entirely inside of ''VideoGame/Halo4'' along with [=CGI=] animation. Ignoring four supplemental "Journal Entry" mini-episodes and the three trailers (one for each season), this story arc contains 58 episodes in total. It was made under a new showrunner, Creator/MilesLuna, who previously wrote for the series.

-->'''Grif:''' We crashed in the middle of nowhere, on [[UpToEleven a planet in the middle of nowhere]]. Fucking beautiful, everybody.

** Episode 10 is called "Cloak & Dagger." Obviously, it refers to the mysterious mission that Locus is on, but it also refers to Locus' cloaking tech and Felix's KnifeNut tendencies.

** [[spoiler:During the Reds and Blues' LastStand aboard the ''Staff of Charon'', Donut compliments Tucker by saying "Now ''that's'' a good look for you!" when the latter [[EleventhHourSuperpower gets into the Meta's suit]]. Wash previously told Maine "That's a good look" during Season 9 when the latter picked up [[WeaponOfChoice the Brute Shot]] for the first time.]]

->''[[ArcWords What do you fight for?]]''

The eleventh through thirteenth seasons of ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'', filmed inside ''VideoGame/Halo4''.

This story arc has the Blood Gulch Crew ending up shipwrecked on a seemingly deserted planet. However, this world has far more going on below the surface than they think...

* BigBad: [[spoiler: Charon Industries [=CEO=] Malcolm Hargrove is behind the Space Pirates that have kept Chorus in a bloody civil war, intending to kill off the entire planet's inhabitants before looting it for Forerunner technology. However, Hargrove himself doesn't get personally involved until the final two episodes, with the Reds and Blues [[TheHeavy instead spending their time fighting the Space Pirates' military leaders]], Locus and Felix.]]

* CentralTheme: Three primary ones - Sacrifice, communication, and dehumanization. Learning to have faith in others is also a noticeable undercurrent in this story arc.
* CerebusSyndrome: The first season in the story arc starts out as a BreatherEpisode after the very dramatic ''Project Freelancer Saga'', but gradually gets DarkerAndEdgier to the point where Season 13 is easily one of the darkest seasons out of the whole show.

-->'''Kimball''': When you spend every day fighting a war, you learn to demonize your attackers. To you, they're evil, they're subhuman. Because if they ''weren't,'' [[NotSoDifferentRemark then what would that make you?]]

* RantInducingSlight: Simmons eventually has to share a room with Grif because Sarge needs a room all to himself. Because Grif is such a slob, Simmons eventually goes ballistic over Grif using his toothbrush.

The collection of seasons 11, 12, and 13 of ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'', in which the series takes the Blood Gulch Crew to a seemingly deserted planet. However, there might be more going on on here than they think.

* ArcNumber: [[invoked]] 57. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxUiesD65Ro "Manticore Blues,"]] [[MiniMecha Freckles']] main theme during this story arc, is 57 seconds long. [[ChekhovsGun The Basebook pic of Freckles wearing a silly hat]] in Season 11 was 57% uploaded by the time [[spoiler:Tucker destroyed the computer]]. In Season 12, Caboose says his lucky numbers are 5 and 7, "and don't forget them!" The number is seen in the first episode of Season 13 as the percentage of both damage the Pelican has taken and the likelihood of [[spoiler:Carolina]] neglecting their allies in a fight. In Episode 2 of Season 13, Grif states that Matthews has thanked him 56 times right before Matthews proceeds to thank him again. Counting both parts of "Armonia" as one episode, the trilogy is 57 episodes long. Amusingly, after the story arc was concluded, Miles Luna and Burnie Burns [[WordOfGod revealed in an interview]] that it was all just an incredibly lucky coincidence that they decided to just run with.

* BigBad: [[spoiler: Malcolm Hargrove is behind the Space Pirates that have kept Chorus in a civil war, intending to kill all of the planet's inhabitants before looting it for alien technology. However, Hargrove himself doesn't get personally involved until the final two episodes, with the Reds and Blues instead spending their time fighting the Space Pirates' leaders, Locus and Felix.]]

* TheMagnificentSevenSamurai: [[spoiler:After the {{Wham Episode}}s a ways into Season 12, the story arc morphs into this, with the deviation of the main storyline being less “defending and TrainingThePeacefulVillagers” and more “getting the two sides of the CivilWar to perform a successful EnemyMine against [[TheManBehindTheMan the true masterminds of the conflict]]”. Other than that, it stays surprisingly close to this trope’s general set-up.]]
