Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Erica and Trude. After listening to Erica whine her way through a Neuroi battle, Trudy carries her on her back and feeds her chocolate; Erica then fights a Neuroi all by herself to spare the exhausted Trude (though she might have just been itching for a fight).

Tamer and Chaster: Aside from half a dozen incidental panty shots, the film actually downplays the Fanservice of Strike Witches and Strike Witches 2, and those shots were nowhere as sexually-detailed as those found in said two series.

comment
Darker and Edgier: The film is significantly more serious and subdued than the TV seasons before it, focusing more of the effects of the Neuroi war on a personal scale, as well as putting a spotlight on Yoshika's medical knowledge; as such, there's quite a bit of blood spilled in this film, a far cry from the largely Bloodless Carnage of the preceding installments.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Yoshika is a maverick ensign who helps out with chores on the aircraft carrier despite holding an officer's rank and is willing to disobey orders to rescue the others if the situation calls for it. For obvious reasons, Shizuka initially distrusts her.

Continuity Nod: As with the previous two seasons, the film's Opening Narration details the history of the Witches and the Striker Units. Just like in Strike Witches and Strike Witches 2, Yoshika travels to a different location onboard the Akagi carrier. Yoshika mentions the similarities to Shizuka's frequent lectures aboard the Akagi as well as Barkhorn's lectures with Erica. Gallia is also the place where the Neuroi launched their invasion way back in Strike Witches. While discussing with Shizuka, Perrine mentions how Yoshika initially hated fighting in the war, something that was touched upon in Strike Witches. Once again, Yoshika puts her medical studies to use while tending to some injured citizens. At the end of the film, Yoshika regains her magic and uses the Striker Unit from Strike Witches 2 to help thwart the Neuroi's assault on Gallia.

Mildly Military: This is lampshaded by Shizuka Hattori, whose parents served in the Fuso military and thus is rather put out by Yoshika's attitude of helping out with chores on the aircraft carrier Amagi despite holding an officer's rank. In the second half, after meeting the rest of the 501st and seeing how they operate, she's convinced to lighten up a bit.
