Spoiler Warning: this page contains unmarked spoilers for 428: Shibuya Scramble. You Have Been Warned!Canaan is an anime series based upon a scenario from the mystery Adventure Game/Visual Novel titled 428: Shibuya Scramble, which (the scenario, not the whole game) was created by Kinoko Nasu and Takashi Takeuchi of Type-Moon fame (at which point many tropers rush off to leech it from the Internet, no further questions asked). The game was obscure outside of Japan until its official localization was released in 2018 (till then, its notability in the West was basically being "that Visual Novel Famitsu gave a 40").Neophyte professional photographer Maria Osawa travels from Japan to Shanghai to report on the annual festival, where she also hopes to meet Canaan, a mysterious Action Girl who saved her life a couple of years ago and has been fascinating her ever since. However, things get ugly when a Nebulous Evil Organization targets Maria. Known as the "Snakes", they are led by Canaan's arch rival Alphard and are somehow involved with the "Ua Virus"—the biological weapon that Maria was infected with during a Shibuya terrorist attack. Fortunately for Maria, Canaan shows up to save her again, much to her (and the fans') excitement.The creation of the show has resulted in a franchise that includes manga and light novel adaptations. | |

| Canaan / int_1420a9b8 | comment |
Scenery Censor: Liang Qi's first scene, in which she gets out of the bath in Cumming's office and, still nude, goes to retrieve some documents for him. As she bends over to hand them to him, a conveniently-placed plant on the table in the foreground acts as Censor Foliage. | |

Rescue Romance | |
| Canaan / int_149f7447 | comment |
Rescue Romance: Maria attempts to replay her first meeting with Canaan by getting in trouble. Liang Qi attempted to do this by setting up a trap for Alphard to get captured in the beginning so that Liang Qi will get to rescue her. Little did she know that Alphard was very aware of the deception, but went along with it merely because she was curious where Liang Qi was going with it. | |

Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
| Canaan / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: Liang Qi: "She's going to pull my tongue out; slowly and slowly, she's going to cut my neck open, then reach into the wound and churn my insides!" When Mino, sitting on a park bench, is thinking of the previous night when he first met Hakko (in her rather revealing Cat Girl costume), a jet from the fountain suddenly shoots into the air. When she appears later on in the same scene and comes to sit down next to him, a whole bunch of jets go off. | |

Where It All Began | |
| Canaan / int_15756c9d | comment |
Where It All Began: The train (possibly the same train, but at least the same make) was the setting for both the beginning of Canaan and Alphard's feud (when Alphard killed Siam) and their climactic duel. The airport that Alphard is sitting in during the epilogue would seem to be the same one from the last scene in 428. | |

Maria’s twin sister Hitomi also makes a Voice-Only Cameo talking to Minorikawa on the phone, played by their actress from the original game Narumi Konno. | |

Butt-Monkey: Cummings. Poor dude never seems to catch a break, though the events of episode 11 ventures into Woobie territory. Yun Yun. It seems like nothing goes right for the poor girl no matter how hard she tries. Let's see, her borner mutation is a second appendix, her boss considers her life disposable but also controls the supply of medication she needs to survive, she had her workplace shot up by her own "allies" twice, she failed an assignment because her boobs were too small to interest the target, and she got interrogated at gunpoint with her own gun (while still wearing the embarrassingly skimpy bunny girl outfit from her failed assignment to boot). | |

Mistress and Servant Boy | |
| Canaan / int_5f0c81fd | comment |
Mistress and Servant Boy: Liang Qi and Cummings are a particularly dark and violent version of this trope. Liang Qi couldn't care less about Cummings and mainly takes her frustration out on him, but Cummings has a (one sided) infatuation with her and seems to like the abuse he suffers. He loves her so much, in fact, that he's the one who gives her a Mercy Kill, and he becomes a monk at the end of the series. | |

To add insult to injury, Hakko finds to her dismay that she accidentally killed Santana with her second speech, which Liang Qi all too gleefully informs her of during her second Speech. | |

Non-Fatal Explosions | |

Non-Fatal Explosions: Canaan and her handler manage to hack a bomb to detonate before it hits, saving everyone in the building. In practice, there would be no real difference between a 10 ton bomb hitting a building and said bomb exploding less than a hundred meters outside the building in terms of property damage and casualties among the people inside - The main destructive force from a bomb is from the concussion and shrapnel generated by the explosion, not the impact, and the concussion from a blast that size would turn much of the building into shrapnel. | |
