Also known as Y-Ganma.On August 10, 2014, Earth was visited by not one but two warring alien races, who turned our planet into a giant battlefield. Humanity emerged victorious, but huge quantities of the alien "Lambda energy" were released onto Earth in the conflict, giving some humans superpowers and turning animals into giant monsters. To combat the emerging monsters and humans who use their superpowers for evil, humanity created the Earth Defense Force, which unites the precious few superheroes and scores of muggle support personnel to defend the planet against all manner of threats.In the year 2075, two very affectionate sisters, Miyuki and Yuri Kitajishi run the EDF Counseling Service in the Japanese town of Kataoka, helping superheroes and EDF employees alike deal with the psychological strain of their line of work. In between that, they help EDF in their battles against monsters and supervillains, which seem to be getting more and more frequent in the region. And on top of everything, Yuri is actually the ex-Magical Girl Lily Cure — the greatest hero the world has ever seen, who has lost most of her powers but can use them briefly in the time of dire need, at a heavy cost to her health.Gamma is an Action-Adventure manga by Ogino Jun that borrows heavily from all manner of Super Hero and Yuri Genre stories. It was serialized in Jump Square from March 2013 to October 2014. | |

Victory Is Boring: Played for Laughs; after the final battle, the heroes who retained their powers continue to protect Earth but have a lot more free time since there are no new villains or monsters appearing. Rider Mask Stag laments how he doesn't have anyone to actually fight; Yuri points out that he's basically complaining about the Earth being at peace. | |

Verbal Tic: Miyuki keeps calling her sister "Yuri-Pie". It is eventually revealed to have actually been Midori's thing, which Miyuki appropriated as part of her efforts to protect Yuri for Midori's sake. In the final chapter, Yuri asks Miyuki to stop using it, as she has already made peace with Midori's death, and Miyuki agrees. | |

Lampshade Hanging | |
| Gamma (Manga) / int_2a090d00 | comment |
Lampshade Hanging: Happens frequently, but is especially notable in the chapter featuring Synth Silver and the Rock Rangers. All of the sources of Synth Silver's insecurities are traits very common to sixth rangers in general (joining the team after the others have already been working together for a significant amount of time, having a different costume style than the rest of the team, piloting a Giant Mecha that works separately from the other, etc...). | |

Mass Super-Empowering Event | |
| Gamma (Manga) / int_34f8ef33 | comment |
Mass Super-Empowering Event: The war between two alien races that flooded the planet with Lambda energy, which has been randomly augmenting the life energy of all living beings on Earth. This empowerment is temporary, however, kicking in at different ages in different people and lasting them for a few years, at most. This is Sakaki's ultimate goal: to bombard the Earth with Lambda energy to grant superpowers to anyone and anything that doesn't already have them, and increase the power of those who do. Unfortunately, this will also kill anyone who isn't compatible with Lambda energy. | |

Still, she thinks it's all Worth It and considers it a happy ending herself. | |

Wham Shot: The end of Chapter 7, when it's revealed that the mysterious man responsible for both the recent string of monster attacks and Discharge's death is Kyosuke Sakaki, a highly-respected captain in the EDF. A more heartwarming one comes near the end of Chapter 16, when Hikari takes Miyuki's hand and the two lean in to kiss one another before the art cuts to an exterior of their hotel, revealing that the two are officially romantically involved. | |

Flame Bane is relieved of his powers by Sakaki in the middle of their confrontation. However, in the manga's most spectacular show of Brought Down to Badass, he goes on to tear Sakaki a new one twice, anyway. And then he enlists in EDF (probably in memory of Rei) and becomes one of the top operatives of its most prestigious unit. | |

Hero of Another Story: Almost the basis for the series. A large number of heroes are introduced but they all have off-screen relationships, back stories, and battles and most of what's shown is just their interaction with the main characters and their story. Plays with Anyone Can Die a bit in that several of these heroes have tragic backstories or have lost friends and the world in general is shown to be very lethal. Also Sakaki is shown to have killed off a large number of other heroes before implementing his final plan. Thankfully he seems to have missed a few more than he thought. | |

Badass Normal: Miyuki and Captain Marian have never had powers, but both are extremely skilled swords-women. Ironically, Discharge was one before getting powers. He was already a trained martial artist in excellent shape, but gaining superpowers led him to try taking on villains far more powerful than he was. It's noted that his prior fighting skills and strength are the only reason he hasn't gotten more hurt. | |

Comic-Book Movies Don't Use Codenames | |
| Gamma (Manga) / int_643879c7 | comment |
Comic-Book Movies Don't Use Codenames: Oddly enough, this is only played straight for the villains: Dr. Woe, The Steel, and Mr. Cell are only ever referred to by their real names in-story; their aliases are only provided as chapter titles. It's completely averted for the heroes. | |

Brought Down to Normal | |
| Gamma (Manga) / int_66ea7e5c | comment |
Brought Down to Normal: Being a superhero is a time-limited deal, so they only get to use their powers for five years, tops. Most end up burning through their powers in a year or two. Averted with Mr. Lostman, the first superhero, who soaked up so much Lambda energy that he kept his powers until his death at the ripe age of 75, as well as his sidekick, Mr. Cell, whose justification is never stated outright, but probably goes along the same lines. Both Puella Magi Mika and Hikari/Lightbright lose their powers by the end of the series; the former uses the last of her power defeating the Emperor of Darkness and the latter has her power-granting bracelet destroyed in her final battle with The Steel. Both join the EDF afterwards. Flame Bane is relieved of his powers by Sakaki in the middle of their confrontation. However, in the manga's most spectacular show of Brought Down to Badass, he goes on to tear Sakaki a new one twice, anyway. And then he enlists in EDF (probably in memory of Rei) and becomes one of the top operatives of its most prestigious unit. This ultimately happens to Earth itself. The heroes are unable to prevent Sakaki's Lambda energy antennae from activating, so they instead reprogram them to bombard the Earth with natural energy instead. As such, no lives are lost and, while anyone or anything already with superpowers retain them for the time being, new superhumans and monsters stop appearing. | |

Aluminum Christmas Trees | |
| Gamma (Manga) / int_67013b78 | comment |
Aluminum Christmas Trees: Inverted, in an odd way, In-Universe; the Kitajishi sisters are shocked at the idea that there was once a time when superheroes, mecha, and giant monsters only existed in movies and TV shows; upon seeing some for the first time, they briefly assume that they're documentaries. In particular, Miyuki finds the idea of movies featuring giant monsters being made for entertainment to be "sick," since the world regularly has to deal with the actual consequences of such creatures existing. Mr. Lostman, who's showing the sisters his old movie collection, explains that said films are from a time before giant monsters actually existed. | |

Meaningful Name: Yuri's secret identity is named Lily Cure, "Lily" being the English translation of her given name (not to mention that she is about as straight as a rainbow). Similarly, the given name of Lightbright's civilian identity is Hikari, meaning "light" in Japanese. Marina Lednev's surname can be read as Russian for "icy", fitting her Ice Queen facade. | |

He's outraged when he finds out that the public sees him as a villain as well until EDF agent Rei Nicole outright asks him how many people he's actually killed. He's notably taken aback as he admits that he hasn't been keeping track. | |

Amalgamated Individual: The Magical Girl Warrior Lily Cure a.k.a. Yuri Kitajishi (her uncostumed persona) is believed to have been the single strongest Super Hero to ever live. Later in the story, it is revealed that Lily Cure was actually a team of two exceptionally strong superheroines who were weaker than some of their peers individually, but unbeatable as a duo. Unfortunately, in the same battle that Yuri had lost her powers, her partner Midori sacrificed not just her life but all records and memories of herself to save Yuri's life, who then went on to be remembered as the ultimate Magical Girl. | |

The Paragon | |
| Gamma (Manga) / int_89623e9a | comment |
The Paragon: Mr. Lostman, the first superhero, is essentially this world's Superman. When his superpower (simple Super-Strength in his case) awakened, he said bollocks to the temptation to abuse it for his own profit, and instead began fighting those who gave in to it, eventually inspiring dozens of others to follow his lead. To put this into perspective: there were already plenty of superhumans around before Mr. Lostman got his powers. He was just the very first to decide not to use them for selfish purposes and became a hero instead. | |

Deconstruction: Of the Super Hero genre, ultimately.

They then take steps to ensure no more humans are born with superpowers, even disregarding the danger of being attacked by aliens and not being able to defend themselves again. | |

Laser-Guided Karma: Sakaki gets a very satisfying dose at the end in the form of Zen Fujiwara aka Flame Bane, who wouldn't have existed as a hero if not for Sakaki nor been involved in the final battle at all if Sakaki hadn't killed Rei. Even after all of Sakaki's plans including a failsafe in the power he gave Fujiwara he's almost won and then Flame Bane breaks through a freaking wall and slices off his arm, causing him to fall into the antenna and directly power the heros' victory. | |

Ret-Gone: Midori, Miyuki's best friend and one of the two superheroes that made up the original Lily Cure duo along with Yuri. She sacrificed herself to save Yuri (presumably in the same incident that took the latter's powers), giving up not just her life, but her entire existence retroactively (the price for using her Lily Cure powers). Yuri is the only person who still remembers her, because she still holds a small portion of her own Lily Cure powers. | |

There Are No Therapists: Downplayed. The EDF makes an honest effort to give the superheroes and their own employees some kind of psychological support for confronting the horrors they fight every day, but because EDF is so short on hands, said effort basically boils down having two high school students (one of whom is a burnt-out superhero herself) talk with them whenever said girls are not busy with other duties. | |

Forgotten Fallen Friend | |
| Gamma (Manga) / int_b901ef97 | comment |
Forgotten Fallen Friend: Very much averted. Most main superheroes are driven or at least motivated by the death of a close friend at the hands of the villains, and carry the burden of remembering them stoically. Hornetman seeks to avenge his (in and out of costume) best friend Blue Train, Flame Bane wants revenge for the murder of his Morality Pet Rei Nicole, Lightbright watched her best friend die because of her own incompetence and is definitely not letting Miyuki share her fate, Yuri takes Discharge's death very hard. And, perhaps, the ultimate example: even though it should not be possible, both Yuri and Miyuki (who doesn't even have the justification of superpowers!) remember Midori, the other Lily Cure, a little and resolve to live for her sake, as well. Miyuki doesn't actually remember Midori, she knows she misses someone and knows who it is thanks to Yuri. But the entire rest of the planet has been forced to forget that Midori ever existed, as a cost of overusing her powers. Miyuki is afraid the same thing will happen to Yuri. | |

Spider-Man Send-Up | |
| Gamma (Manga) / int_d1db8053 | comment |
Spider-Man Send-Up: Hornetman's costume is a clear reference to Spider-Man,note And possibly to his one-time disguise as "The Hornet", though it's unclear if this was intentional.. He is also known as "The Hero of This Town" (a play on Friendly Neighborhood). Word of God his relationship with the speedster Blue Train was written as a Homage to Peter's friendship with Harry Osborn in Spider-Man 3. His actual powers are very different though, consisting of a "Hornet Sting" that lets him punch incredibly hard with his left arm. | |

Cast Full of Gay | |
| Gamma (Manga) / int_d32cd9f5 | comment |
Cast Full of Gay: Being a Yuri Genre work there are very few females that are not obviously a lesbian. If one were to take the authors very NSFW pixiv account as canon there are in fact no straight females, besides the ones specifically shown otherwise. | |

The Magic Goes Away | |
| Gamma (Manga) / int_d91d0365 | comment |
This ultimately happens to Earth itself. The heroes are unable to prevent Sakaki's Lambda energy antennae from activating, so they instead reprogram them to bombard the Earth with natural energy instead. As such, no lives are lost and, while anyone or anything already with superpowers retain them for the time being, new superhumans and monsters stop appearing. | |

Sixth Ranger | |
| Gamma (Manga) / int_dabc7a46 | comment |
Sixth Ranger: In-Universe, Synth Silver is this to the Rock Rangers. Parodied, since all of the reasons he feels insecure with his team are traits common to almost all sixth rangers from Super Sentai, the Trope Namer. | |

Hero Killer | |
| Gamma (Manga) / int_e16fb8ca | comment |
Hero Killer: The Plot Armor that protects characters against Monster of the Week threats is instantly disabled the moment Sakaki and his gang enter the fray. Specifically, Sakaki kills Mr. Lostman, Dr. Woe kills Blue Train, and their forces kill several other heroes during the "Hero Hunt" over the course of the four month Time Skip in Chapter 17. | |

Expy | |
| Gamma (Manga) / int_e5421161 | comment |
Expy: Lily Cure's name is one syllable away from Precure. Unusually, she's based on the Retired Badass solo warrior Cure Moonlight (whose civilian name was also Yuri) rather than one of the more iconic two-girl teams. This turns out to be Foreshadowing for the reveal that "Lily Cure" was in fact a duo, but its other member was erased from existence and Yuri is the only one who remembers her. Mika is a pretty obvious one of Madoka Kaname from Puella Magi Madoka Magica, between holding the title of "Puella Magi" and wielding a bow with heart-shaped arrows as her weapon. A more direct one is Yuri's Retgone friend and teammate Midori, who was erased from the memories of everyone in the world. The Rock Rangers are a musically-themed take on Super Sentai and Power Rangers. When seen out of costume, the team members all heavily resemble the main cast of Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger. Mighty Blow is an odd case, being an expy of the relatively obscure version of the Stan Lee Superman, as well as being an expy of the MCU Thor. Hornetman's costume is heavily modeled after Spider-Man. Or possibly Supaidaman, given his gadgets. Mr. Lostman of Superman, being the first superhero, the paragon whom others followed, wearing a heroic cape (also metaphorically), and growing Stronger with Age, unlike other superheroes. Arturoman is Ultraman, right down to a nearly-identical origin story. Bulldramo is a walking Shout-Out to the Hulk. Chapter 17 even has a scene that copies Cap and Hulk's scene in the 2012 Avengers movie, right down to the gestures. The 'Cap' in this instance is Captain Japan, who is essentially Captain America recolored white with a red disk on his chest, with a huge boomerang instead of a shield. Nano Mugen is essentially the MCU Avengers team Rider Mask Stag is a Kamen Rider; in particular, his design is heavily based on Kamen Rider ZO and Kamen Rider J. Nina Goto/Night Diver for Tony Stark/Iron Man, between owning a high-tech tower complex larger than the government, and actually lacking any superpowers except Awesomeness by Analysis and a suit of Power Armor she built for herself. While her initial armors look more like the Iron Man suits and hide her gender, Night Driver's suit in the final arc looks a lot like The Wasp. Light Bright finds some alien jewelry that gives her light-based powers. | |

Devil in Plain Sight: Invoked; when Sakaki announces his new leadership of the EDF, he brings Dr. Woe onstage and introduces him to the audience. Since he's obviously a villain, the EDF members who aren't aware of Sakaki's villainy are baffled. The heroes immediately figure out that Sakaki's sending them a message, since they realize that the half of the audience that wasn't surprised by this are on Sakaki's side. | |

Well-Intentioned Extremist: Sakaki's ultimate goal is to empower all lifeforms on Earth with Lambda energy so Earth will never have to worry about being invaded by aliens again. However, he's a very nasty piece of work who has no problem murdering anyone who gets in his way, uses innocent people as test subjects, and whose plan will kill a massive amount of people. He also doesn't seem to realize that human weaponry is far more advanced then what it use to be at the first invasion. | |
