Sometime in the future, a new exoskeleton called the Infinite Stratos (IS) system was developed in Japan and quickly demonstrated just how easily it could take out a variety of conventional military weapons. The weapon was soon adopted by several nations... save for one flaw — only women could pilot it. This shifted the social structure to favoring women over men, until Every Man Ichika Orimura becomes the first male to activate an IS and is soon thrust into a new life as a new student at the prestigious — and previously all-female — Infinite Stratos Academy.However, his school life is filled with many hurdles and interesting characters. His Tsundere childhood friend Houki Shinonono is one of his classmates, but her sister Tabane is responsible for building the IS and Houki hates her for it. English Upper-Class Twit Cecilia Alcott hates weak men and has trouble finding a decent guy. Flat-chested (and not too happy about it) Chinese Genki Girl Huang Lingyin is Ichika's second childhood friend. From France, there's also Charlotte Dunois, briefly known as another male pilot who tries to be friendly and get close to Ichika before her gender is revealed... and she still wants to be friendly. Finally, German Super-Soldier Laura Bodewig idolizes legendary IS pilot Chifuyu Orimura, who happens to be Ichika's older sister, and therefore hates him for ruining her idol's reputation. Oh, and naturally, there's an evil corporation that wants to steal his IS Core.Ichika's high school life is about to get very interesting...Infinite Stratos is a series of Light Novels written by Izuru Yumizuru and illustrated by Okiura (from volumes 1 to 7) and later CHOCO (volume 8 and onward), first published in 2009. As of 2018, there are 12 volumes released. The light novels were licensed for a North American release by J-Novel Club in February 2018 with the first volume getting chapter posted online as they're translated before a full ebook release on April 16, 2018. The series will conclude with its thirteenth volume, with its release date yet to be revealed.Infinite Stratos was adapted into an anime in January 2011, simulcast with The Anime Network. There are two manga adaptations of the story: the first by Kenji Akaboshi, covering the entirety of Season 1; and the second a relaunch by Yuuki Homura.

Viewers living in the USA, Canada, Australia, UK, Ireland, and South Africa may watch it legally there.

It was released on November 26, 2014. Trailer here.A fighting game for the PC called Infinite Stratos Versus Colors was released on December 31, 2014. View the trailer here.

Hotter and Sexier: The series' second manga adaptation, where it seems like every girl has gotten a boob job (except Rin, who still looks the same) and strike poses that accentuate their figures. The mangaka of the second adaptation is Yuuki Homura. Those that know the artist wouldn't be surprised if Chifuyu got special treatment as he favors well endowed big sisters. The very first page of the reboot manga is Houki taking a shower, with only Censor Steam covering up her breasts. | |

Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Chifuyu may smack Ichika around a bit, and he complains, but she'll do anything to protect him, and he wants to be an IS pilot so he can return the favor. Also Laura is far more lovey-dovey towards Ichika than you'd expect. | |

Multinational Team: Ichika and Houki are Japanese, Cecilia is British, Rin is Chinese, Charlotte is French, and Laura is German. The light novels introduced an American pilot, Natasha Fairs, but she's not part of the harem and only appears in two scenes. Season 2 introduces Tatenashi Sarashiki, the IS representative for Russia. Her sister Kanzashi is the rep for Japan. | |

| Infinite Stratos / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: When Ichika's harem eavesdropping on him and Chifuyu in episode 10, accompanied by Sexophone, no less. Ichika's just giving her a massage. In preparation to deal with the rogue IS, Ichika needs Houki's IS' speed and Houki says this. In episode 10 of season 2, Ichika asks some rather suggestive sounding things to Ceciilia, while the camera pans around in a bedroom, one of which is his jacket lying on a bed. Then it turns out he's just teaching her how to make rice balls. | |

Another example would be the joint US/Israeli IS unit that caused a ruckus over the skies of Japan. While it's written as "Silver Gospel", plus having its kanji title be a direct translation of that, the "Silver" part is always read as the very Spanified "Silverio". | |

The Worf Effect | |
| Infinite Stratos / int_178ca149 | comment |
The Worf Effect: Cecilia and Rin, being national representatives and possessing custom 3rd generation IS suits, are touted as being the most powerful pilots in the school. Cue them getting curbstomped by both Yamada-sensei and Laura in separate occasions, with both fights even being a two-on-one. Ichika is frequently beaten to demonstrate how serious a new threat is. Tatenashi suffers from this in episode 9 of season 2, after having been shown largely effortlessly delivering one Curb-Stomp Battle after another in earlier episodes. Madoka gets hit with this when her suit is destroyed in episode 10. Remember how tough Autumn was in episode 4? She's not so tough against Houki & Cecilia in the season finale. Especially since they weren't even paying attention to her for most of the fight. During the World Purge incident, a U.S. special forces team is effortlessly repelled by Tatenashi's Mysterious Lady. | |

Bridal Carry: Ichika does this to help Houki getting in her training IS, much to the latter's delight. Ichika does it to her again at the end of season 1 to get both of them away from the rest of his (furious and jealous) harem. In novels, he does it quite frequently, about 3 times to Laura and once to Kanzashi | |

Defeat Means Friendship: Laura is initially very hostile to everyone, particularly Ichika. But after he beats her, and saves her post-meltdown, she softens up. Sort of. Inverted with Cecilia, who technically won her first fight with Ichika, but grew to respect him anyway. | |

Unwanted Assistance: When Houki, Rin, and Cecilia all try to explain to Ichika how to use the IS with their Technobabble, it only serves to confuse him. On the other hand, Charles offers to duel Ichika, and after soundly stomping him, he offers some tips on Ichika's weaknesses and explains things that makes it easy for him to understand. He also helps train Ichika on using a rifle, and seems a bit too friendly, causing the girls to get quite jealous. | |

| Infinite Stratos / int_2536f695 | comment |
Also note, the Silver Gospel crisis is partly their fault as well considering Silver Gospel was developed outside the IS Academy in secret, a clear violation of the Alaska Treaty. Volume 6 added icing on the cake by showing they did it again with the (much less gamebreaker) Fang Quake, but still. Note that according to the treaty, while you are allowed to build IS units outside the academy, all testing of Super Prototypes and their gimmicks have to be inside the academy.... or else the unit/system will become a public domain design. | |

Parental Abandonment | |
| Infinite Stratos / int_297ab1b9 | comment |
Parental Abandonment: If you are a main cast of this show, it is a must that you don't have any parents present with you. To wit: Ichika and Chifuyu's parents abandoned them, leading Chifuyu to raise Ichika by herself. And then there is the little detail that Ichika doesn't have baby photos at all. Houki's entire family had to constantly move around due to her older sister Tabane introducing the IS system, and thus needs protection, causing Houki to hate Tabane for it. Lingyin's parents divorced due to differences and the restaurant that Ichika used to visit has closed. Cecilia's parents died from a train accident, forcing her to protect her family's treasure from pretenders by herself. Charlotte is the illegitimate child of a (now-deceased) country woman and the CEO of the French IS company who abandoned him/. Laura's a genetically enhanced Super-Soldier and was raised in a military environment, and thus had no parents. | |

Bland-Name Product: Episode 3 has Pocari Sweat spelled as "Pokari Sweat" however it is superimposed by Rin's hands. Averted in the first season OVA as Cecilia is obviously holding a pair of bottles of Tabasco sauce while cooking. Or trying to cook. Cecilia wears "L'Ireal" perfume in the novels, an obvious stand-in for L'Oreal. "Sugar and Honey" chapter 9 has Laura holding an "IPid" tablet. | |

Student Council President | |
| Infinite Stratos / int_2f6a98f5 | comment |
In episode 10 of season 2, Ichika complains about being chosen to measure the girl's bodies. Yamada-sensei simply says that's what the Student Council President Tatentashi wanted. Chifuyu gives him a blindfold to use, but unfortunately, it's a see-through, so it doesn't block his view much. One wonders why he didn't just ask Yamada-sensei, who was recording the measurements, to switch jobs, particularly after his Unwanted Harem find out he's measuring the other girls. | |

Gratuitous Foreign Language: The original sub only has a few minor instances of Gratuitous English (such as the name Infinite Stratos itself). The dub, however, gives Charlotte and Laura thick French and German accents, respectively, and they pepper their speech with French and German. Gratuitous English: Chifuyu in the season 2 episode previews uses this when announcing the title of the next episode. It's actually pretty hilarious considering how seriously she says it each time.

Evolving Credits | |
| Infinite Stratos / int_3297cfbb | comment |
Evolving Credits: This trope seems to be used as quite an art form in the anime adaptation: During the first eight episodes of Season 1, when a girl gets added to Ichika's harem, they get added to the end credits and they join in the song. As the girls are added, only the most recent one is running in step with Ichika, with the others following behind them at a different pace, but beginning with episode 10 up to the second season, everyone is running together in perfect sync. Houki's ribbon becomes white with a red line, instead of the usual green with black during the end credits of Episode 12.note The said ribbon was the same one Ichika gave for her birthday on the very same episode. This was also applied in the Opening sequence of Season 1, where Charlotte is seen wearing the female IS uniform after the Bridget Drop. The ending sequence in Season 2 takes this somewhat up to eleven: For the first 5 episodes, a different girl is displayed in the background with all the main characters running in unison. Additionally, another girl is added to the picture taken at the end with Ichika and his sister. In episode 5, the girls are wearing the suits they had on during that episode instead of their school uniform when running; while in the Long Vacation OVA, everyone is wearing the swimsuits they used. For episode 7, Only Ichika and Houki have different outfits compared to the others because of the photo shoot they participated in. At the end of episode 9, Kanzashi is added to the harem. She is seen running right behind him, and her picture is used in the background. Additionally, she is in the picture taken at the end along with the other girls. As of episode 12, Tatenashi is added into the sequence, running in sync with the cast behind Kanzashi. Also, each character is shown in the background wearing civilian attire. The World Purge OVA's ending credits have each girl wearing the clothes they had on in their fantasy sequences, save for the Sarashiki SistersNoteKanzashi was on Mission Control duty that time, while Tatenashi held off the invading special forces. For added fanservice bonus, Laura was wearing the Naked Apron she wore at that time, and is holding it down with her left hand, thus forcing her to do a Girly Run. | |

Spray perfume on it, and then slather it in hot mustard. Houki then eats a piece...and becomes violently ill. As do Charlotte and Laura. | |

Actor Allusion | |
| Infinite Stratos / int_392372f9 | comment |
Actor Allusion: The following instances involving Ichika is this trope in relation to his seiyuu's role as the main character of Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn: the predominantly-white motif of his IS (and which name translates as "Type-White") as to the titular mech; his duel against Rin, posing and charging similar to the titular mech◊; and the Out-of-Clothes Experience scene with Houki in Season 1 Episode 11, which is based on the scene from Episode 3. As to Laura, her eyepatch is on the left eye instead of the right and she initially didn't use knives, perhaps to avoid making her look and sound any more like Cinque than she already does. In the second season, her knives start seeing a lot more use. Meanwhile in the dub, it's apparently changed to resemble another eyepatch-wearing Tyke Bomb. The railgun on her IS has traces of this as well since her seiyuu also voiced another character with a long-barreled, high-output gun as her main weapon... Also, this is not the only time Houki's English VA played the role of a dark-haired Tsundere with an insane amount of strength. | |

Bedmate Reveal: In Episode 9 of season 1, Ichika wakes up and finds Laura naked in bed with him. She does it again in episode 1 of season 2, although this time she's wearing a school swimsuit. In a slight variation of this trope, Tatenashi does this to Ichika as well in the World Purge OVA. He accidentally sees her topless after waking up in the nurse's office, hides under the sheet, and innocently asks if she's feeling better after suffering a gunshot wound. Instead of getting mad at him though, she jumps into his bed, demanding he do lewd things with her too after hearing about what happened to the other girls in the virtual world. | |

Schizo Tech: While the date for the series is never given, the Manga and the Anime specifically show President Obama as the main driving force behind IS Academy and the Alaska Treaty, placing the unveiling of the IS somewhere between 2009 to 2016. Considering that the IS is an artificial intelligence embedded into what seems to be a fusion reactor or zero-point energy source roughly the size of a baseball or smaller...yeah, you get the picture. Granted, Shinonono Tabane is rumored to be a genius who makes Einstein look dumb. | |

Make It Look Like an Accident: The introduction of Cecilia's maid, Chelsea Blanchett, also revealed the truth about the train accident that killed Cecilia's parents. In short, it was no accident, but rather a cover-up of the assassination of her parents, carried out on orders by someone very high up in the British government, because they found out that the Alcotts had somehow, via illicit means, obtained an IS core to power some sort of construct that's keeping Chelsea's little sister alive. | |

She is later seen carrying some muffins to his room, only to stop when she sees her sister Tatenashi leaving his room, and asking if the plans she gave him for fixing up Kanzashi's suit helped. Kanzashi runs away and cries in her room after finding out that her sister used Ichika to help with her suit, when up to that point she had adamantly refused any help from her. | |

| Infinite Stratos / int_519f108a | comment |
Throwing Your Sword Always Works: Subverted. Rin does this in episode 3 of season 2 during the Cinderella play, but Ichika blocks with Charlotte's riot shield at the last minute. While it does prevent the sword from hitting him or Charlotte, it also shatters the shield. | |

Falling into the Cockpit | |
| Infinite Stratos / int_522811b8 | comment |
Falling into the Cockpit: Or more like walking into it. How did Ichika discover he's the first male IS pilot? He accidentally wandered into the IS Academy's exam room while looking for the exam room for the school he was going into (which happened to be adjacent to the Academy, and had a similarly pronounced name). An IS happened to be in said room. Chifuyu theorizes in the anime that Tabane may have engineered the whole thing. Tabane denies it, and says she has no idea how he's doing it. While the exam room's IS unit was indeed rigged ahead of time to generate a response, a random, non-rigged trainer unit that was brought in for Ichika to actually use for his exam also responded, casting aside any notion that it was a mere co-incidence. | |

Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole | |

Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole: The anime fails to explain how Ichika knew Cecilia was within firing range against the berserk unmanned IS. The Light Novels explain that he secretly communicated with her to fire on his command after unleashing Yukihira Type-2 by taking advantage of its barrier-nullifying ability. Cecilia, being frustrated to not be able to help out, answers the call. | |

Cannot Spit It Out | |
| Infinite Stratos / int_653c5c73 | comment |
Cannot Spit It Out: Played straight for most of the series with the exception of Laura post-defrost, but averted with at least two girls who actually have a shot by the end of the series. In episode 8, Charlotte gives Ichika a naked hug in the bath and declares she wants to be with him. At the end of the same episode, Laura sticks her tongue down his throat and declares him to be her wife. Houki tried to avert this trope thrice: at the end of episode 12, she puts Ichika's hand on her chest, right over her cleavage, and flat-out asks "You do know I'm a girl, right?"; in the second part of the OVA, she confesses to him but he gets distracted by the fireworks. What's worse, the explosion from the fireworks muted out her confession. Then in the second season's 7th episode, as Ichika was carrying her home from their photo shoot, she mumbled out a confession to him, but since she was so tired that she fell asleep after saying it, Ichika didn't think much of it. In the novel version of that scene, she was very drunk and slurring her words, so Ichika didn't understand her. | |

Clueless Chick-Magnet: Ichika, Ichika, Ichika. He's got a truckload of admirers inside (most of his schoolmates, particularly Houki, Cecilia, Rin, Charlotte and Laura) and outside (e.g., Ran Gotanda, his junior-high former neighbour) the IS Academy... and he's none the wiser. Somewhat justified, as being the rare male to pilot the female only Power Armor of the series, plus the fact that he's the ONLY male student in the entirety of the IS Academy makes him the only available choice... And to many girls, quite a good one. Lampshaded quite succinctly by Charlotte in the latter half of episode 8: Though he get a little better when some of them confess. In the novels he also has Tatenashi's little sister Kanzashi. In episode 5 of season 2, when asked which of the girls' performances he preferred the most, he took only a moment to choose Chifuyu's dressing up like a maid and serving him a bite of a parfait. None of the other girls take this very well, and even Chifuyu gets flustered by his response. | |

Unwanted Harem: The premise of the show, if you don't count the Powered Armor. An interesting scene occurs at the beginning of episode 10 in season 2, after Kanzashi joins the harem. All of the other girls are sitting around her, and grilling her with rumors of her dating Ichika. Charlotte seems to calm them down briefly and offers Kanzashi a drink, only to then ask the same question, while also having a Yandere look, until the poor girl clears up the misunderstanding, which calms them all down when they realize he's not dating anyone...yet... | |

In Episode 10, Ichika comes across Houki staring at a sign behind two metal flaps which says "Please pull them out." She doesn't. Ichika can't resist. Though, given the little carrot on the sign (and the very shape of the trap itself) made it quite obvious who was behind the trap, Ichika probably thought something along the lines of 'The sooner, the better'. After all, none of them seemed too happy about seeing Tabane. | |

Brother–Sister Incest: Some of the girls worry that Ichika and Chifuyu might have this kind of relationship (as if they needed another romantic rival), especially after eavesdropping on a suggestive-sounding massage though it turns out to be nothing. He also looks after the house and Chifuyu in the same manner as some might expect of a wife, much to the other girls' dissatisfaction. In Vol 4, chapter 4 (and the OVA), it explains that Chifuyu is bothered by the fact that the girls had silently declared her as the strongest rival despite that not being her intention at all. But considering her confession to Maya, Maya concluded that Chifuyu is actually indecisive/ confused about her own feelings toward Ichika. Now we can freely decide that the the ship should sail or sink.... | |

Eagleland | |
| Infinite Stratos / int_7a265daa | comment |
Eagleland: Apparently America is to blame for the Japanese goverment handling the IS academy, President Obama much more specifically in the manga (In the relaunch manga, it was Hilary Clinton who took his place.) Also note, the Silver Gospel crisis is partly their fault as well considering Silver Gospel was developed outside the IS Academy in secret, a clear violation of the Alaska Treaty. Volume 6 added icing on the cake by showing they did it again with the (much less gamebreaker) Fang Quake, but still. Note that according to the treaty, while you are allowed to build IS units outside the academy, all testing of Super Prototypes and their gimmicks have to be inside the academy.... or else the unit/system will become a public domain design. The World Purge incident shows us some Flavor 2 actions by America. When the IS Academy is hacked and its power sources sabotaged, America sends in the Fang Quake model & a team of special forces to raid the academy in order to steal the unregistered IS cores that Chifuyu & Maya recovered from the unmanned drone attacks. While the U.S. was not behind the hacking, the fact that they took advantage of the incident so quickly (and knew about the unregistered cores) proves that America has the academy on 24/7 surveillance (and most likely, so do many other countries). | |

Almost Kiss: At the end of season 1, Ichika and Houki are about to kiss. Then the rest of the girls show up. Another one occurs in the season 2 OVA World Purge, in which the girls discuss kissing Ichika to wake him up after his mind is still trapped in the virtual world. While they're discussing the topic, Kanzashi just decides to try and kiss him, but she's pulled away just before she's able to. | |

Breather Episode | |
| Infinite Stratos / int_80a247a9 | comment |
Breather Episode: Episodes 5 and 9 in the first season, which are sandwiched between episodes with intense action and drama scenes. Episode 5 in season 2, following the episode where Ichika was in a fight for his life. Subverted at the end however, when Madoka shows up, and we hear a gunshot as episode ends. Episode 10, season 2. Following a brutal fight in which several of the students were seriously injured, this episode focuses on Cecilia largely trying to be a less Lethal Chef, but accidentally sickening the other girls in the process. And even during a more serious dramatic moment at the end with Tabane is subverted, when she delivers a Curb-Stomp Battle to three of the Phantom Task members, including one with a gun, and another in an IS suit, utilizing nothing more than a few kicks, a butter knife, and a fork. | |

There has been absolutely no explanation for these. Doubly so for the second vision because it wasn't in the novels; at least the anime remembered it but it's still a Mind Screw. | |

Spell My Name with an S | |
| Infinite Stratos / int_89a17726 | comment |
Spell My Name With An S: There seems to be a disparity with some characters' last names. Rin's name causes issues depending on whether you're romanizing from the Chinese or Japanese pronunciation, and with the former, depending on what dialect you're doing. Just look at how many times her name is used interchangeably on this very page as either "Rin" or "Ling(yin)." The J-Novel Club official translation specifically has only Ichika refer to her as "Rin" and uses "Ling" in all other instances. Charlotte's surname also causes issues. It's written as "Dunois", but read as "Dunoa" (which is also close to the correct French pronounciation, which would be "doo-nwah"). Another example would be the joint US/Israeli IS unit that caused a ruckus over the skies of Japan. While it's written as "Silver Gospel", plus having its kanji title be a direct translation of that, the "Silver" part is always read as the very Spanified "Silverio". | |

Improbably Female Cast: Although justified In-universe. The IS system can only be used by women normally, but Ichika is somehow able to activate it as well. Even Tabane, the IS suit creator, is unsure of how he's able to do it. As a result, Chifuyu transfers him to the all-girls school to learn IS combat, partly so he can learn to use his IS suit better, and largely to keep an eye on him, lest some unscrupulous country or organization gets their hand on him again. | |

Episode 11 as well. The first 3/4 are nothing but random harem comedy as all the first-year students go on a field trip. The first warning we get that the mood is about to change is when Squall appears and offers to take a picture of Ichika & Houki together. We get more comedy afterward as all the girls try to see what pictures are on Ichika's camera, to the point that he accidentally drops it off a cliff while being mobbed. Then in the last few minutes of the episode, Madoka appears again to kill Ichika with her new IS "Black Knight", Autumn ambushes Houki & Cecilia in her IS, the train that Chifuyu, Maya, & all the other students are on is hacked and hijacked, and Tatenashi is about to throw down with Squall on top of a tower. | |

Crippling Overspecialization | |
| Infinite Stratos / int_9aaf8eca | comment |
Crippling Overspecialization: Several examples: Ichika's IS is a close-ranged fighter, so in a ranged fight he has to dodge or absorb shots thrown at him until he can get close enough. Unless another IS user allows him to use their ranged weapons. Averted with Rin, who has a weapon that has some medium range capabilities. Laura's A.I.C. (Active Inertial Canceler) seems to nullify any attack thrown at her, but she has to stay focused on the attacker for it to work. So if someone else shoots her from behind... Cecilia's IS is designed solely for long ranged combat (eg. powerful but slow-firing long beam rifle), so if an attacker can close the distance before she can take them out, she usually seems screwed. Chifuyu also comments in one episode that she's also designed to take on multiple opponents, but in the anime at least, she only ever fights against one opponent at a time. | |

Gecko Ending | |
| Infinite Stratos / int_9b25f2eb | comment |
Gecko Ending: Even though the second season's last three episodes are adapted from volume 7, they include anime original content. The only scenes that were in the novels were the first 5 minutes of & the end of episode 10 when Phantom Task tried to pressure Tabane into working for them, and even that scene was altered from the novel because of the lack of Chloe Chronicle. As well as the scene in episode 11 where Laura has difficulty eating cute rabbit-shaped sweets, but that scene occurred much earlier in the novels. Volumes 9 & 10, which were released 1 and 2 years after the anime's end, later cover some of the events of these episodes, but not all. The author himself even admitted in Volume 10's afterword that he treats the two as separate continuities, as "the things that happened in the anime happened in the anime, the things that happened in the books happened in the books." | |

A potential inverted example with Houki. Since her sister Tabane was the creator of the IS system, the Japanese government moved her and her family around a lot to avoid anyone attempting to kidnap Houki in an attempt to force demands on Tabane. Of course, this caused a lot of strife with Houki towards her sister, as it caused her to be separated from Ichika. | |

Intimate Lotion Application: During the Beach Episode, Cecilia all but demands Ichika to apply suntan oil on her bare back, causing the other girls to get envious at the boldness of her request. Ichika nervously complies but is very uncomfortable doing it, especially since she starts suggestively moaning while he rubs her. Rin gets so jealous that she eventually stops Ichika, takes the suntan oil, and finishes rubbing Cecilia herself, but is much rougher about it. This causes Cecilia to stand up to complain, forgetting she has untied her bikini top and thus giving Ichika and everyone else an eyeful of her chest. Once she notices it, she has a Naked Freak-Out that is followed by her punching Ichika in the face with her IS arm (Which materializes out of nowhere). | |

Then in the last few minutes of the episode, Madoka appears again to kill Ichika with her new IS "Black Knight", Autumn ambushes Houki & Cecilia in her IS, the train that Chifuyu, Maya, & all the other students are on is hacked and hijacked, and Tatenashi is about to throw down with Squall on top of a tower. | |

What Beautiful Eyes!: Ichika tells Laura this. Interesting in that this is also the first time Ichika is able to get a good look at both of her eyes at once up close (Laura had removed her eyepatch to deploy her Active Inertia Canceller). The first time it happened in the first season, there was too much going on for him to focus on it. | |

Skinship Grope | |
| Infinite Stratos / int_aef4525b | comment |
Houki tried to avert this trope thrice: at the end of episode 12, she puts Ichika's hand on her chest, right over her cleavage, and flat-out asks "You do know I'm a girl, right?"; in the second part of the OVA, she confesses to him but he gets distracted by the fireworks. What's worse, the explosion from the fireworks muted out her confession. Then in the second season's 7th episode, as Ichika was carrying her home from their photo shoot, she mumbled out a confession to him, but since she was so tired that she fell asleep after saying it, Ichika didn't think much of it. In the novel version of that scene, she was very drunk and slurring her words, so Ichika didn't understand her. | |

Thinking Out Loud | |
| Infinite Stratos / int_af81576b | comment |
All of them are upset with him when he invites them to an outing at a water park in episode 1 of season 2, thinking he only invited them. Then they find out he invited all of them... Laura was the only one who knew from the start that he was going to invite all of them since she was the one who handed him the flyer for the pool in the first place and he was Thinking Out Loud. And of course, naturally he was oblivious to her sudden sour mood. The second season OVA (which was really just extra footage from the first episode that was cut due to time constraints) shows that the jealousy more or less evaporated once everyone got to the water park, since they were having too much fun there. | |

The Ace | |
| Infinite Stratos / int_b5b4b077 | comment |
The Ace: Tatenashi Sarashiki, the beautiful and attractive Student Council President who's virtually the strongest IS pilot in the entire academy. She is also the head of the family that leads an organization fighting an evil secret organization, and has a sister who has a massive inferiority complex. She can also tame (and in some cases troll) everyone in Ichika's harem, including Ichika himself. The catch? Even our Celibate Hero thinks that she's just too perfect and virtually unreachable, which makes her the only female protagonist whom he (unwittingly) hasn't managed to get roped into the harem. Doesn't stop her from forcing herself into it though. | |

Empathic Weapon | |
| Infinite Stratos / int_b7e1dcc8 | comment |
Empathic Weapon: The IS system is adaptive and semi-"aware" of its pilot, constantly adjusting to better suit them complete with a synchronization rate and controlled by thought as much as motion. Especially so the personal IS units, which perform like generic trainer units until they've seen some use and adapt. Several suits also have powerful functions that can be triggered by the pilot's mental state. Probably the reason why self-piloting drone IS systems have long been considered impossible, lacking a pilot's guiding will. | |

Incest Subtext | |
| Infinite Stratos / int_bdc453a0 | comment |
Incest Subtext: Charlotte accuses Ichika of this when she sees his reaction to Chifuyu in a skimpy swimsuit, but who could blame him anyway? The catch, which wasn't show in the anime, is that Chifuyu asked him which one he'd prefer between a white sporty one and the black one that she ended up getting. He inadvertently picks it by glancing at it first, which she took as his first choice. Picking out her wardrobe is nothing new - he does it all the time for her and she wears his choices with no complaint. She'll even go a bit out of her way to grab/wear the ones that he likes more. Given what they overheard coming from their shared room in Episode 10... Also from Episode 10, the conversation that Chifuyu and the 5 girls have heavily implies that she has challenged them to "try and get to my level". And she doesn't mean in IS piloting skill. In the OVA, there was the little bit of her coming home to the house and Ichika greeting her like a housewife. She notes this to Yamada, saying; "On that field trip, I told those five girls I wouldn't let them have Ichika. I didn't think much of it or put any deep meaning into it, but it seems the girls think that I'm a rival now." Then there's Ichika's birthday, in which every member of the harem decides to cosplay for him. Chifuyu ends up being the main event, dressing as a maid for him and actual spoon feeds him note Again, something the rest of the harem have repeatedly tried to do with no success.. When Ichika is asked who's performance was his favorite, he chooses Chifuyu without a second thought. | |

Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male: With a harem full of Clingy Jealous Girls, abuse is heaped on Ichika virtually once an episode. It can get hard to watch the show at times if this trope comes to mind. However, with such a blockhead of a protagonist with picking up on matters of the heart, its also not hard to believe he deserves at least some of it. | |

Informed Attribute | |
| Infinite Stratos / int_c3448a6f | comment |
Informed Attribute: The novels remind the reader over and over and over again that ever since the introduction of the Infinite Stratos suits, society has changed so that women are the dominant gender in everyday life, so much so that if a man on the street were to suddenly be ordered by a woman to do some ridiculous task (like suddenly shining her shoes for no reason), it wouldn't be unusual. But we never see any examples of this kind of thing happening. The anime & manga adaptations don't even bring up this issue. The majority of the novels' contents are written from Ichika's point of view, which means this could be Unreliable Narrator, but there are a few times when even the third-person narration brings up this point, such as when three bank robbers attacked the maid cafe in Volume 4 Chapter 2 *The corresponding anime episode is Season 2 Episode 1 in which the narration describes these men as being either extremely brave or extremely foolish to pull this kind of stunt in a world dominated by women. Volume 7 finally shows some evidence of this when Ichika is denied entrance to a fancy restaurant because he lacks a tuxedo. Ichika has to buy a tuxedo from a shop in the same building, no other options. While there is a similar dress code for females, they are at least allowed the opportunity to rent a dress. | |

Offscreen Moment of Awesome: One happens during the end of episode 10 in season 2, when Tabane is surrounded by three Phantom Task members. One tried to spike her soup with a sleeping drug, another put a gun to her head, and Madoka crashed through the restaurant wall in her IS suit. Tabane effortlessly subdues all three of them with little more than a few swift kicks, a butter knife, and a fork. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Infinite Stratos / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Some of the IS suits including their weapons, coloration, and names are a shout out to various mecha anime, particularly to the Gundam and Super Robot Wars franchises: Ichika's Byakushiki (Type-White) is this to a white re-painted version of Char's Hyakushiki (Type-100) that appeared in Mobile Suit Gunpla Builders Beginning G. It so happens that said [[repaint shares the same name. His Mid-Season Upgrade Setsura is also this, but to the Destiny Gundam. Houki's Aka Tsubaki draws a lot of parallels from red mobile suits, particularly the Aegis (Shape and Color Scheme) and Arche (The feet-mounted beam blades) Gundams. Cecilia's Blue Tears (Particularly the Attack Drones and the hip-mounted weapons) is a clear reference to the Strike Freedom. Rin's Shenlong was named from an After Colony-era Gundam of the same name. Supposedly inverted in the Glory of Losers manga reboot, where the Laoiya◊ sword add-on to the same Gundam shares a similar silhouette to the Souten Gagetsu. Charlotte's Rafale Revive Custom II is not just an Ace Custom variant piloted by a Char Clone. Thanks to that Pile Bunker attack on Laura, it is also an Alt Eisen expy. Laura's Schwarzer Regen is primarily black with red and yellow/gold trim. Wonder why she hadn't overridden anyone's theme song yet. In episode seven, there's a list of representatives who are going to watch the tournament. One of them◊ is Michael Scott. In episode 8, it looks like Michael chose to attend after all◊. Episode 9 is called Ocean's Eleven Episode 10 is called The Thin Red Line. In episode 11, Houki and Ichika's Out-of-Clothes Experience wouldn't be much of a Shout-Out by itself, unless you watched the third episode of Gundam Unicorn and realize that Ichika and Banagher have the same seiyuu. The preview of episode 12 has a similar thing that happens with Neon Genesis Evangelion. All it lacks is the "Congratulations" scene. The ultra-cool battle suit and the half dozen katanas◊ Chifuyu uses in the World Purge OVA to fight the Fang Quake IS. She's practically a female version of Jetstream Sam. | |

Freudian Excuse | |
| Infinite Stratos / int_c868a42a | comment |
Freudian Excuse: Laura is a genetically engineered Super-Soldier who had undergone intense military training since birth. Naturally, this means that she has zero social skills, which is why she initially comes off as a huge Jerkass. Cecilia's views of men as weak stem from witnessing her socially weak and inept father. | |

Informed Ability | |
| Infinite Stratos / int_ca3a6dbd | comment |
Informed Ability: In the anime, it's mentioned that Byakku Shiki is quite possibly the most powerful IS in the school, if not the world. However, Ichika so far has not been able to defeat an enemy (or at least has extreme trouble in doing so) in a straight up one-on-one fight. The Byakku Shiki is considered powerful due to it's only weapon: a sword that one-hit-KO's opponents. This, coupled together with its insane maneuverability and speed, makes it extremely formidable. The problem comes from the fact that said assets also rapidly drain the shield energy of the IS. Basically, it has a lot of raw power and speed, but very little endurance. There's also the matter of the pilot, who is still very much behind everyone else in both formal and informal training (being that no men before him piloted an IS, that's justified). This discrepancy shows very well in Ichika's first battle with Cecilia; he's completely untrained, flying an IS for the second time in his life - a close-range type he's wholly unfamiliar with. She's practically a professional considering her age, and fights in a long-range model. He lasts over thirty minutes, figures out a tactic that could potentially beat his opponent, and then his IS enters First Shift - i.e., he kept up with her while overwhelmingly outgunned, outprepared and outmatched in every way on the equivalent of the lowest power setting Byakushiki has. And then comes within a hair's breadth of winning. No wonder Cecilia breaks down after this and falls for him; had they been on an even level in mere training, she wouldn't have lasted five minutes against him. | |

Schmuck Bait | |
| Infinite Stratos / int_d2c0e2ed | comment |
Schmuck Bait: In Episode 10, Ichika comes across Houki staring at a sign behind two metal flaps which says "Please pull them out." She doesn't. Ichika can't resist. Though, given the little carrot on the sign (and the very shape of the trap itself) made it quite obvious who was behind the trap, Ichika probably thought something along the lines of 'The sooner, the better'. After all, none of them seemed too happy about seeing Tabane. In episode 10 of season 2, Ichika complains about being chosen to measure the girl's bodies. Yamada-sensei simply says that's what the Student Council President Tatentashi wanted. Chifuyu gives him a blindfold to use, but unfortunately, it's a see-through, so it doesn't block his view much. One wonders why he didn't just ask Yamada-sensei, who was recording the measurements, to switch jobs, particularly after his Unwanted Harem find out he's measuring the other girls. | |

What the Hell, Hero?: Laura, Cecilia, and Rin attacks Ichika rather forcefully during the play he's been asked to take part in during episode 3 of season 2. See the entry for Serious Business for further details. To a lesser degree, anytime one girl tries to do something with Ichika by herself, and either he invites the other girls, or more likely, the others tag along after spying on them. | |

Balanced Harem: Houki and Rin are Ichika's childhood friends, Cecilia and Charlotte have their Fanservice moments with him, and Laura stole his First Kiss. Therefore, there was really no way to tell who's got the edge. Houki seems to have pulled into the lead after the first OVA, but it still looks like a setup for No Romantic Resolution. | |

Happy-Ending Massage: Cecilia gets massaged by Ichika twice. The first one made her orgasm with him none the wiser. Tatenashi in season 2 has heard about these and demands that Ichika give her one too in episode 3. However she asks him while he's using the bathroom, and it turns into Serious Business when she uses her IS weapon to break the door down after he attempts to barricade himself in there. He finally relents and gives her one much to her delight. | |

Everyone Can See It: The girls of the harem frequently point out how they view Chifuyu as their greatest rival for Ichika. The way they behave around each other normally is a big bone of contention for the rest of the harem. During the OVA, they even take notice as how the two behaved more like a married couple than siblings. | |

High-Pressure Blood: Happens to Tatenashi in episode 9 of season 2, after she shields her sister Kanzashi from an attack by an unmanned IS suit. Tatenashi suffers one in the World Purge OVA after realizing that the hacker was actually a third party independent of the Americans attempting to steal the school's IS core. She is then shot by one of the soldiers she knocked down earlier, who manages to fire a pistol at her. Quite a bit of blood then spurts out. | |

You Wanna Get Sued? | |
| Infinite Stratos / int_ddc66c9a | comment |
As to Laura, her eyepatch is on the left eye instead of the right and she initially didn't use knives, perhaps to avoid making her look and sound any more like Cinque than she already does. In the second season, her knives start seeing a lot more use. Meanwhile in the dub, it's apparently changed to resemble another eyepatch-wearing Tyke Bomb. The railgun on her IS has traces of this as well since her seiyuu also voiced another character with a long-barreled, high-output gun as her main weapon... | |

Male Gaze | |
| Infinite Stratos / int_dfb71617 | comment |
Male Gaze: Plenty already starting from episode 1 of the anime, as Ichika is the only important male character. Also during the few Transformation Sequence we see, there seems to be a bit of focus on the girl's bosoms, or their waists. In the Yuuki Homura manga adaptation, he finds himself checking out Houki's rear and berates himself for it. That particular scene wasn't present in the novels, the anime, or the first manga, leading some readers to joke that at least in this continuity, Ichika finally has a sex drive. | |

Filming for Easy Dub: The ending of Season 2 Episode 10. What should have been a Crowning Moment of Awesome for Tabane became this because the camera kept going for close-ups on the cafe's sign outside, M's face, or other random objects in the restaurant, with Tabane speaking over these shots. Did the studio run out of cash to animate Tabane disassembling the Silent Zephyrus to pieces with just her hands? It's completely averted in the DVD/Blu-ray version. | |

Corner of Woe: In episode 7 of season 2, Laura attacks Ichika with her IS bladed weapon after he says he already has a partner in mind for the upcoming tournament. Chifuyu intercepts the attack, and throws her across the room. When Laura complains that her matter with Ichika is strictly between a husband and wife, Chifuyu counters by saying that she would never accept a sister-in-law that acts like that. The statement hits Laura pretty hard, and she quietly sits down on the floor with a gloomy look, muttering to herself. | |

And in the beginning of Episode 9, Ichika wakes up to find that at some point during the night, Laura snuck into his room to sleep with him in his bed... naked. In Laura's defense, her lack of social skills, and the fact that she believes them to be "married", means that she doesn't understand the impropriety of her actions. | |

Distressed Dude | |
| Infinite Stratos / int_f9e16ef | comment |
Distressed Dude: Ichika was kidnapped because he was the brother to the world's best IS pilot at the time, Chifuyu. And this trope is probably the reason why he was forcibly enrolled in the IS Academy, since not only is he Chifuyu's younger brother, but he's also the world's only man that can activate/pilot the IS suits. Which no doubt means every country in the world would love to have their hands on him if given the opportunity again, to learn how he managed to activate it. A potential inverted example with Houki. Since her sister Tabane was the creator of the IS system, the Japanese government moved her and her family around a lot to avoid anyone attempting to kidnap Houki in an attempt to force demands on Tabane. Of course, this caused a lot of strife with Houki towards her sister, as it caused her to be separated from Ichika. | |

Class Representative: Ichika and Cecilia fought for the position with their ISs. Cecilia won but handed over the position to the former. Also, Rin became her class's representative after transferring in. | |

Cecilia's Blue Tears (Particularly the Attack Drones and the hip-mounted weapons) is a clear reference to the Strike Freedom. | |

Beware the Nice Ones | |
| Infinite Stratos / int_fccd06b6 | comment |
An interesting scene occurs at the beginning of episode 10 in season 2, after Kanzashi joins the harem. All of the other girls are sitting around her, and grilling her with rumors of her dating Ichika. Charlotte seems to calm them down briefly and offers Kanzashi a drink, only to then ask the same question, while also having a Yandere look, until the poor girl clears up the misunderstanding, which calms them all down when they realize he's not dating anyone...yet... | |

NamedWeapon | |
| Infinite Stratos / int_ff8f3b0 | comment |
Named Weapon: Apart from the IS units having their own names, their weapons are named as well. A proper example would be the Yukihira Type-2 for Ichika's Byakkushiki - also at the time of its introduction, his only equipped weapon. Outside of her Akatsubaki, Houki owns a sword named Akeyou, as revealed in Volume 2. | |

Cut Short | |
| Infinite Stratos / int_ffa0483f | comment |
Cut Short: The second manga adaptation by Yuuki Homura was cancelled after 8 volumes, and this was after he had taken a year off after publishing Volume 6. Some comments on his on his Twitter indicate that the manga's ending was rushed but hopefully some people would find it satisfactory. | |
