C. 71 (True Calendar), seventy percent of mankind now lives in space, in space colonies called Dyson Spheres. Two distinctive space nations emerged, the Dorssian Military Federation and ARUS, the Atlantic Ring United States. Haruto Tokishima lives an ordinary yet content life in the neutral nation of JIOR with his friends and his crush Shouko. However, when the Dorssians attack, an untimely tragedy causes Haruto to swear revenge...Coincidentally, a mysterious mecha called the Valvrave springs up from underneath the school with an open cockpit. As you'd expect, Haruto leaps into the mecha with the intent on wiping out the enemies attacking his home. Before he can activate it, though, it presents him with a single question: "Do you resign as a human being?"Beware of unmarked spoilers!

Valvrave the Liberator / int_1237828f	comment	Anyone Can Die: While several of the major characters have a decent amount of Plot Armor on, the series racks up quite a huge body count, particularly in episode 21, when ARUS and Dorssia team up to kill all of the inhabitants of Module 77 after the Dorssian Chancellor's reveal that the residents are monsters disguised as humans, and Cain's public execution of Saki doesn't exactly kill her despite the mortal blow.

Valvrave the Liberator / int_12dd1d4c	type	Rape as Drama
Valvrave the Liberator / int_12dd1d4c	comment	Rape as Drama: In episode 10, Haruto is possessed by the Valvrave and has his way with Saki. However the dynamics of said rape, mainly the fact that she stops fighting back and does not use her Bodysurf powers to try to escape the situation, almost makes it an aversion. Suffice it to say, the whole scene was extremely sudden and provoked a great deal of discussion, along with some not inconsiderable backlash. The official blu-ray commentary even mentioned it was for shock value, although never stated it as actual rape. Notably though, Haruto himself was forced into this by the Valvrave, making this a rare circumstance where both parties were technically raped.

Valvrave the Liberator / int_13f7da6	comment	Instant Expert: Haruto is instantly able to use Valvrave with a great deal of skill right after he accepts its contract to stop being human. Before that, not so much. (Probably justified, what with the injection of something into his bloodstream. In episode 2, he is also able to instantly use L-elf's gun with a great deal of skill almost as soon as he takes over his body. Also justified in that L-elf has a lot of experience in using guns and other weapons, so Haruto was able to use them based off of his memories.

She shakes uncontrollably and basically just floats in space while Haruto attempts to draw enemy missiles away from her. Shoko, along with encouragement from around the world, end up snapping her out of it, when she channels some of her bottled up frustrations out on the attacking Dorssian forces. L-Elf goes through an extended one, after he fails to save Liselotte.

Valvrave the Liberator / int_14ed6ab7	type	Does This Remind You of Anything?
Valvrave the Liberator / int_14ed6ab7	comment	Does This Remind You of Anything?: Three major power blocs, two at war, and one neutral. An ordinary academy is attacked by a squad of elite soldiers for the purpose of stealing a special mecha that's secretly being built beneath the facility. When enemy military units start wreaking havoc in the colony, the Ordinary High-School Student protagonist manages to get inside first, and rip the incoming aggressors several new holes. Where have we seen this before?. To sink it in even further, T.M. Revolution sings the opening, although in collaboration with Nana Mizuki. Trope also applies to Code Geass, what with the highly skilled mastermind [L-Elf/Lelouch] who turns to the rebel side [JIOR/Black Knights], and the inexplicable superhuman powers. In addition, the ending also features The Protagonist dying by the side of his best friend, who then sheds Manly Tears for him. After his death, the world begins a new era of peace and tranquility. Only a better version of this. While Lelouch was seen as the enemy of the world — undeservedly since his Despair Event Horizon was all caused by his bastard royal family and Britannian associates — Haruto dies while clearly showing who the real monsters are and that despite being immortal and having deceiving supernatural abilities, he and the Valvrave pilots were Good All Along. The season one finale solidifies the many Guilty Crown vibes, with a superpowered teenager with a normal upbringing being guided by a physically normal teenager whose upbringing was filled with hardship and wound up turning him into a genius tactician and unrivaled fighter, as well as a high school of students working together to fight against their aggressors. Thankfully, it's much more of a Reconstruction this time around. Also, there's an Ancient Conspiracy of similarly empowered people guiding this entire conflict, key leaders amongst them.

Then an attack improvised by L-Elf goes off, and causes a large military ship to slam into the side of the colony. In Season 2, episode 1, a Dorssian military man, monitoring Module 77, says they're safe on the Moon, and wouldn't be stupid enough as to leave it. Cue Valvrave attack.

Valvrave the Liberator / int_178ca149	comment	The Worf Effect: ARUS, for being a rival superpower to Dorssia, is shown to either be extremely outmatched or frighteningly incompetent, judging from most of their battles with Dorssia. Raizo suffers some extensive damage to his Valvrave when he tries to take some new Dorssian mecha head on in episode 15 of season 2. Kyuma tries to warn him not to get cocky, but Raizo figures he could easily take them out. The Dorssian mecha dodges his shot, then counters with its own giant beam attack.

Valvrave the Liberator / int_19ebe383	comment	Never Trust a Trailer: All of the promotional material seemed determined to make Valvrave look as much like a carbon copy of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED as possible and depicted the titular Valvrave as a white and red machine, as seen on the article image, with no indication it had anything other than the typical swords and gun. As soon as Valvrave selects a pilot it turns black and displays a slew of weapons completely unlike anything in the promotional material, and shortly afterward the plot goes completely off the rails into its own brand of crazy. There was absolutely no indication of the bodyjacking space vampire powers either.

Even the others are surprised at the damage output of it. Turns out that it was Marie inside the unit, and she was able to do more than Haruto because Pino said her "limiter" was broken, so it cost her memories as she protected her friends and destroyed the huge wave of Dorssian troops.

Valvrave the Liberator / int_60194b82	comment	Spanner in the Works: ARUS, Dorssia, and L-elf's plans are thwarted when Shouko gives an alternate plan in episode four, utilizing Valvrave as a bargaining chip to keep both ARUS and Dorssia from doing anything too rash to their families or the students. L-elf in particular, who usually carefully plans all of his actions, is taken by complete surprise by it. Marie nearly ruins L-Elf's plans in episode 15 of season 2 when she confronts Haruto about how his face healed so quickly in the previous episode instead of letting him take part in L-Elf's battleplan. She also talked to his AI, Pino, who seems to recognize her as a friend. She suffers a shot to the head for her troubles, only to then get back up much like Haruto did in the first episode.

Saki's rape must have been some form of first-instinct response from the Valvraves running low on power; as seen later, Haruto was capable of fighting off the impulse even when Saki offered herself to him, as he was capable of sating their need for Runes with a single bite of L-Elf.

In episode 21: Shouko and the others hand Haruto and L-Elf over to the forces of Arus and Dorssia, in exchange for being allowed to leave after said forces had killed just about most of the student body. Not only did this not work, but the moment they got their hands on them they prepared to blast them away and it took a Heroic Sacrifice to let them escape. To be fair, the mass driver they were using to escape was damaged, and they had not one but TWO Kirschbaum heavy cannons pointed at them. When you're being mugged like that, you have no other alternative but to give your muggers what they want and hope they don't decide to kill you anyway. This entry fits better into "hope spot."

In episode 1, a random Dorsian Mook screams "how could you lose to a recently weaned babe?" just before Haruto kills him. Senator "Moses" Figueroa gets called out on his Dirty Coward actions by Shoko who asks if he's ashamed of himself, and he replies "of course, not. I'm an adult." The President of ARUS, after getting the senator's report, "you allowed yourself to be bullied by a gang of children?" Granted, we didn't hear Senator Figureoa's side of the conversation, but it's still not a good position for the president and his cabinet to take concerning prospective allies. Lastly, it occurs in the season 1 finale. Where Shoko rightly points out that the Dorsian general is a coward for 1.) Having child soldiers fight on the front lines while he sits (in relative safety) on a battleship in the back. 2.) Refuses to let her father speak for himself to her, despite the fact that he's bolted to the floor in heavy chains. 3.) He and his men try to beat Shoko's father to death taunting him as a "pushover" despite the fact that they are attacking at least 3 on one, AND he's in chains. The general's response "to an adult, 'Coward' is the highest praise" to which he adds "you should leave the warmongering to adults."

Fortunately Shoko offers an alternative. He does it again in episode 7, this time to Shouko. He hands her some paperwork describing things they should be doing, such as mandatory conscription for all males and immediate militarization. Naturally, they overwhelmingly reject it, which he also anticipated, so he goes through with his backup plan and simply takes over the space colony by shutting down various systems and detonating explosives planted earlier. He then manages to tie up the entire room of students a few moments later. And tries again in episode 8, where he offers Haruto a plan to repel the attacking Dorssians without having to sacrifice any of the students in return for accepting the contract. However, this time it works, since Haruto at this point trusts L-Elf's motives after seeing some of his motives from the previous episode.

The ARUS may be a rather dark shade of gray, as they have plenty of ulterior motives and are perfectly fine with sacrificing a few pawns if it means victory, but they don't go around openly attacking neutral nations, and are apparently above the use of Child Soldiers. Their most immoral act so far was the result of one Dirty Coward's selfish actions. The only somewhat white group is JIOR, which is caught in the middle of their conflict, but leaning towards the ARUS. Arus' president then goes and proves that Arus is not to be trusted by trying to kill Shoko and those surviving residents of module 77 AFTER she agreed to turn over the valvrave pilots saying "did you honestly believe the president of a country would keep his word with vermin?"

Valvrave the Liberator / int_8e20979	comment	Wham Episode: Every episode. The show cannot go more than twenty minutes without a twist. Even among these, however, episodes 10 and 12 stand out. The first had Haruto succumbing to his vampiric instincts and raping Saki, while the second was the Season Finale before the show began its six-month hiatus and thus had more twists in it than the rest of the show up to that point combined. The Dorssians invade Module 77, the Valvraves are defeated, Akira gets the last Valvrave, L-Elf loses in a battle of wits against Cain, Cain hijacks the broken Unit 02 and installs a new AI for it much like the one in 01, 01's AI speaks after talking only in text messages up until now, the Magius are introduced as the real rulers of both sides of the war... In episode 20 we get Saki, who was imprisoned by the Dorssians, being stabbed to death and regenerating on live broadcast, showing that the Valvrave pilots aren't human. This was during the beginning of Shoko's meetings with the ARUS president in a packed school auditorium, once the rest of the pilots have returned to Module 77. Cliffhanger, indeed. Episode 21 shows the consequences to The Reveal, with the ARUS President ordering his forces to exterminate JIORan students and Shoko selling out Haruto and L-Elf to ARUS in an attempt to stop the massacre, which leads to Kyuma's death as he performs a Heroic Sacrifice to make sure they escape.

Dorssia has a fleet surrounding them, and has taken over their home country on Earth, and ARUS seems more interested in Valvrave than saving them. Shouko offers an alternative, by telling her classmates that if Dorssia does anything to JIOR or their families, they would hand Valvrave over to ARUS. On the other hand, if ARUS refuses to cooperate and help them like they had originally done, they would hand Valvrave over to Dorssia instead. She also announces that their school would become an independent country, which they vote overwhelmingly in favor for. In episode 19, Liselotte reveals to Haruto that she could never be with L-Elf, because humans and Magius cannot be together due to the nature of the Magius largely being spiritual beings who feed off humans. This causes him to think back to when he put his Love Confession towards Shouko on hold, but then he tells her that she should try, because knowing L-Elf, he would find a way for it to work. It does seem to inspire her, but unfortunately she sacrifices herself to prevent the rocket the JIOR recon force is trying to escape in.

Valvrave the Liberator / int_974b47a7	comment	Men Are the Expendable Gender: Averted for the most part, as many women get killed just as much as the men do when people start dying. The more important ones often have an impact on the surviving characters that were close to them. Played straight with the main Valvrave pilots, as the only ones to die were Haruto, Raizo, and Kyuma. If you stretch the definition, Marie could count as an aversion, as she was technically a pilot, but not an active one when the show starts.

Valvrave the Liberator / int_9f63d4f1	comment	Our Vampires Are Different: They are called Magius and Saki calls them this, with the acronym for Valvrave confirming they are vampires. Haruto is the only one who has a hunger though, which is caused by his Valvrave's AI. What the AI hungers for is runes, which are information and are the power source for all the Valvraves. The longer he pilots, the more he hungers, and if it gets bad enough he'll have sexual intercourse with those he bites. It's later revealed that the Valvrave pilots are third generation Magius and that the other Magius have very different abilities. The Valvrave pilots show the ability called Jack, which lets them take control of other people's bodies, a Healing Factor, Immortality, while another generation like Cain can speak Rune and make green energy appear, which can act as limbs. The Magius Clan turns people into Magius by biting them and having members chant in rune as they bite the victim, while third generation members get infected by the Valvraves injecting them.

Valvrave the Liberator / int_a4c37cbe	type	Mood Whiplash
Valvrave the Liberator / int_a4c37cbe	comment	Mood Whiplash: The first episode ends with Haruto's friends celebrating his victory over the attacking mecha as the battle and his coming out of the cockpit was all broadcast online. We then are treated to L-Elf stabbing Haruto through the heart and compounding the attack with several bullets to the chest. Haruto then promptly gets back up and bites L-Elf in the neck. The creepy cello music really adds to the dark twist. The second episode then also shows everyone in JIOR that was celebrating Haruto's victory being round up about to be forcibly deported since the JIOR government instantly surrendered after the attack. In episode 7, Haruto saves the day yet again, this time reluctantly with L-elf's help. Then when Kyuma finds his body beneath a pile of rubble, he calls Aina to help him hide the body until whoever Haruto body-jacked can return so as not to freak out anyone. Her phone rings nearby, and as he turns around wondering why she's already in the hangar, he sees the remains of her mangled corpse floating by. Made worse by how nonchalantly she was killed off by an explosion earlier in the episode. A shocker in episode 10. While Shoko is busy campaigning and appealing to the students in a speech to run for Prime Minister, it cuts back and forth between this and Haruto raping Saki. All while the former is busy telling the students they should be more selfish and hold a school festival, and the students cheering her on. Episode 20 follows the safe return of the recon force, and Shouko/New JIOR attempting to form an alliance with ARUS against Dorssia. However, at the end of the episode, and episode 21, the Dorssian Chancellor reveals that the residents there are monsters disguised as humans, and prove it by publicly executing Saki, only to have her survive. The ARUS President then accuses New JIOR of treachery, and orders them to be eradicated.

Actually this quote is about 150 years older and comes from Pippa Passes.

He privately admits to one of his friends that he can't tell her his true feelings since he's become a freak due to controlling the Valvrave. This comes back to bite him big time in episode 21, after Shouko finds out he's one of the immortals, and has been keeping it a secret from her the entire time. She even goes so far as to surrender him and L-Elf to ARUS in an attempt to save the rest of the remaining students. Haruto calls L-elf out on this in episode 9, wondering why the latter failed to see the second Dorssia fleet attacking the colony. The former brushes away the complaint by saying that he's being given too much credit for seeing everything, despite the fact that he's planned something for almost every situation prior. More likely he did know, but let them attack to see who would go after the next Valvraves, which Kyuma and Raizo end up doing.

Valvrave the Liberator / int_e540d1e6	comment	Camp: Drowning in it. Valvrave takes nationalist stereotypes, nonsensical plot twists, weird bad guy outfits, preposterous dialogue, and cheesy anime clichés, and filters them through just enough self-awareness to turn them into art. For a show that deals with space warfare and some sort of vampiric powers, quite a few scenes and phrases come across as being deliberately ridiculous and not taking themselves nearly as seriously as the underlying material would imply on paper. Examples include L-Elf's exaggerated action movie antics as well as his poor social skills and his laughing at the bizarre turn of events at the end of episode 4, the "Is this sexual intercourse?" punchline at the end of episode 5, the coffee and sugar metaphor from episode 8, Senator Figaro's famous "Call me Moses" line, and the running gag of "Thunder" being usually defeated or hurt whenever he tries to play the dominant male role. Mind you, the series still seems willing to go in and out of this mode as demanded by the plot.

And when it comes to characters, Marie is pretty much Anya with black hair. Not only does she look the same, she even uses her phone to take a photo in one of the first episodes, just like her predecessor often did. Just like Anya, Marie also has problems with her memories, as she does not remember things about her past to an unknown extent, as revealed by episode 14. In the same vein, L-Elf obviously evokes Lelouch, although he, at least, looks noticeably different. He's more of a terrifying cross between Light Yagami and Heero Yuy. A-Drei also resembles Lelouch. Hilariously so, in fact; He's a Dorssian prince who plans to rebel against the leadership with his best friend as his right-hand man. The key difference is that L-Elf is probably even more cunning than he is, and discarded him for Haruto, planning to have Haruto be his right-hand man. They even share the same voice actor, Jun Fukuyama.

Not to mention Marie sacrificing her memories so that she could operate Unit 1 and basically save everyone's asses. Akira in the season 1 finale.

Valvrave the Liberator / int_f06b07ff	comment	Shouko finds out that Haruto became a Valvrave pilot to avenge her and protect his remaining friends from Dorssia's attack in the first episode. Pino even goes so far as to show her video recordings of the moment Haruto gave up his humanity, which also helps explains why he was keeping her in the dark about his secret.

Valvrave the Liberator / int_fc225bec	type	Artistic License – Physics
Valvrave the Liberator / int_fc225bec	comment	Artistic License – Physics: When technical difficulties cause their entire module to go into winter mode, some students worry about the module reaching absolute zero. However, space is a near-perfect insulator, so the heat wouldn't be lost anywhere near as quickly as shown. Haruto punching people in low gravity should naturally send him flying backwards, but he remains completely stationary when he tries to hit L-Elf in episode nine. L-Elf might have caught the hits, but there should have been some recoil. When "weightless" characters drift over to a surface and place their feet upon it, their hair and clothes settle as if they had just landed from free fall. In episode 8, L-Elf has Haruto drain module seawater into open space to create chunks of ice and freeze off boomerang jamming devices attached to the outside of the Valvraves. As mentioned above, not only would the water not cool down that fast, but in a zero-pressure environment like space, the water would vaporize. Matter is heated up by compression and cooled down by expansion. Since vacuum would cause water to expand rapidly, combined with temperautre of space, it would get it to the freezing point. However, that same expansion would prevent it from forming large icicles shown - rather, result would be fine ice mist or something akin to it. In other words, water would boil - and then freeze immediately.

Valvrave the Liberator / int_fe30beaa	comment	Death by a Thousand Cuts: Dorssia's Ideal troops attempt this in order to whittle down Valvrave by firing off loads of missiles at it until they destroy it. It nearly works too, until Saki recovers from her Heroic BSoD, and manages to evade most of the missiles enough to get close enough to attack them. Happens to Kyuma in episode 21. He takes quite a beating from Dorssian Kirschbaums before finally succumbing to the damage. However, he manages to at least blow up next to the closest Kirschbaum attacking him, and takes that guy out as well.

Valvrave the Liberator / int_ff5a74c8	comment	Talking Is a Free Action: In episode 18, after L-Elf finds Liselotte is nearby, he rushes off to find her. When he has no way to get into her room, he instead shoots some guards, who call for backup before dying. After some military helicopters create an entrance into her room via missiles, while the dust is still settling, he asks her to come with him again, this time much better prepared than the last time he tried to escape with her. Interestingly enough, the helicopters hold their fire while he talks to her. Kyuma has enough time to ask Haruto about his true feelings towards Shouko. Haruto admits he still likes her, and probably will for a long time. This takes place while Kyuma is being shot at by Dorssian Kirschbaums.

Granted the show did manage to resolve a majority of its plot points, but it did so through an incredibly rushed final episode and there are still a few things that while not quite unresolved, really could have used more explanation on.
