Linebarrels of Iron is a Japanese manga series written by Eiichi Shimizu and illustrated by Tomohiro Shimoguchi. The manga was first serialized in Akita Shoten's monthly shōnen manga magazine Champion Red from 2004 to 2014, and it was compiled into 25 volumes.The story takes place in a fictional alternate future, centering around a junior-high school student named Kouichi Hayase, who escaped his daily life of being bullied as a child by constantly daydreaming about being a hero. His life was forever changed during a class trip in the year 2016 when an artificial satellite fell from orbit. Due to this "accident", Kouichi was left in a coma for half a year, and upon awakening, found himself with strange powers, including superhuman strength. Then, in 2019, a mysterious robot called "Linebarrel" appears before him. It is revealed that the accident from three years ago was not caused by a satellite, but rather by the Machina robot Linebarrel, and that this turned him into a "Factor", which is the name given to Machina pilots. This leads him to encounter Emi Kizaki, a mysterious amnesiac girl whose unknown past seems to be related to Linebarrel. He joins her in fighting for JUDA, the world's largest medical equipment maker, which happens to secretly own several other Machina robots.Linebarrel looks to play the Mecha Show straight to the hilt but Shimizu and Shimoguchi's purpose is a Decon-Recon Switch.Has a character sheet now. | |

Instant Expert | |
| Linebarrels of Iron (Manga) / int_13f7da6 | comment |
Instant Expert: Subverted by Kouichi. His ass-kicking is totally contributed to the Linebarrels immense speed and power, but against experienced pilots he nearly always gets shamed. Moritsugu makes this a plot point, fending off his Super Mode and insulting his "Hero of Justice" rap, then threatening all his friends in order to cause an emotional response that can unlock Linebarrel's Machina-Killer True Form. Zig-zagged: Talisman's introduction in the manga reveals the Machina can actually teach their Factors to use them better. If they want to. When Hayase exorcises Amagatsu from Linebarrel, he notes that it has become much more responsive in combat, implying that at least some of his fights prior to that were affected by Amagatsu one way or the other. Played straight with Miu and Painkiller in the manga. She seemingly starts to lose to Sanada and gets a Heroic BSoD before tearing him a new one. | |

Dead Man Writing | |
| Linebarrels of Iron (Manga) / int_2310dacb | comment |
Dead Man Writing: Played for laughs by the anime. When the JUDA crew try to return to the building, they meet a recording of Ishigami stating that it was to be played in the event of his death. Together with a series of increasingly ludicrous ability tests, all of which are introduced with a copy of the aforementioned speech. Lampshaded when they are taken into the Inner Sanctum. But it doesn't stop there... | |

Adaptation Expansion | |
| Linebarrels of Iron (Manga) / int_23473ae7 | comment |
Adaptation Expansion: The first few episodes of the anime are based on the first few chapters of the manga, literally adapting roughly a chapter and small change into a full episode. This is achieved by the reshuffling of the order of events and a significant expansion of Miu's role in the plot, who is a tertiary character in the manga at best, falling into the background as soon as her introduction arc is over. | |

You Will Be Assimilated: In the anime, Katou explains that in his world, humanity more or less gave up their freedom and free will in order to gain power, hence why he worked with them in order to "invade" the current Earth and put a stop to them before they could do the same thing to humans in the new world. In the manga they just want to wipe out humanity to reset the Earth again. | |

Death Is Cheap | |
| Linebarrels of Iron (Manga) / int_37fcf16 | comment |
Death Is Cheap: Played straight with everyone except Katou. Subverted with Ishigami, who comes back as an AI, then he sacrifices himself with Katou. In the manga, Ishigami again, but this time Izuna and Miu followed suit. In the ending of the anime, Emi dies, then gets better. Every Factor other than Kouichi gives up their Machina's lifeforce to power him up, and dies when their Machinae die. And then they, too, get better. | |

Curb-Stomp Battle: Several in both adaptations, espcially when Kouichi and/or Linebarrel goes berserk. The most recent one in the manga resulted in all of JUDA's Machina (except Miu) facing a berserk Linebarrel (actually the angry soul of Amagatsu Kizaki) and the Machina need the Jinrais to actually stop Linebarrel because Kouichi is locked out of Linebarrel's control. | |

Involuntary Suicide Mechanism / Driven to Suicide: The suicide switch inside all humans, which is one of the key plot points of the manga (the anime's plot diverged before it became important). Being a Factor negates yours even if it was already activated. Unfortunately, of the three Factors we know whose switches were active when they were converted, Miu and Izuna did not end well. This does not bode well for Katou. | |

Xanatos Speed Chess | |
| Linebarrels of Iron (Manga) / int_447d9e50 | comment |
Xanatos Speed Chess: Less than half an hour passes between Katou's forces showing up at Juda HQ for a final battle in the manga's chapter of the same name, as Ishigami announces he cedes to Katou, retakes his rank as Katou's second-in-command and sacrifices himself to seal the Human-Machina's portal, leaving a somewhat bewildered Katou to inherit what's left of Juda. How good do you have to be to leave the Really 700 Years Old Anti-Villain who's trying to remake the world in his image holding the bag for you? | |

Ambiguous Gender: Satoru Yamashita in the anime. He is portrayed about how a lanky androgynous teen dude would appear in a bikini, the anime upholds the same conventions as the manga: confusing gender pronouns, being immune to both Male Gaze and Female Gaze as well as all forms of Clothing Damage, overlarge untucked shirt, combat boots and bermuda shorts and never appearing undressed despite the rest of the cast having been around the Fanservice block more than a few times. | |

Ace Custom | |
| Linebarrels of Iron (Manga) / int_49f8c18f | comment |
Ace Custom: The Team leaders in the Katou group, most notable are Sawatari's Idaten, which seems more or less standard barring some cosmetic changes (and rocket engines for a speed boost), and Demitri's Kagutsuchi which is geared towards More Dakka while its armour gives it a Templar-like appearance. Strictly speaking, any Juda or Katou Machina without "barrel" in its name, since they're all models that were mass-produced, with Glen-Neidr-class and Verdant-class being the rarest. The manga reveals that all human-used Machina have all been modified in one way or another to make them easier to use. | |

Synchronization: A Factor's life is irreversibly tied with their Machina. If a Factor dies, the Machina can get a new one, but if the Machina is destroyed, the Factor will die. Or Factors, if it has more than one, serving as Kouichi's motivation once he learns that Emi is also Linebarrel's factor. Empathic Weapon: Most Factors are led to converse with their Machinae on top of piloting them as a result of this. | |

| Linebarrels of Iron (Manga) / int_5989e3b6 | comment |
Enemy Mine: Combined with a Gambit Pileup, Katou was actually planning to stop the invasion from the other Earth in the anime, since the humans there have given up and more or less become robotic without any free will. Hence why he constantly mentions stirring up the imagination of the people on the current Earth so as to prepare them to fight the oncoming invasion force. It doesn't help that he had to kill lots of innocent people to achieve his goal, which was why Ishigami decided to break off and look for an alternative method that didn't require any human deaths if possible. In the manga this happened after all the gate to the Human-Machina's world was opened, before the members of the JUDA Special Task Force were assimilated into the Katou Organization. | |

Really 700 Years Old: Though Soubi looks seventeen it's revealed that he is actually over 70; this is due to being born as Talisman's Factor. Eventually, each and every Factor will suffer his fate, as Machina don't allow them to grow old, unless they find out how to counter the effect. In the manga: Katou, Emi & Ishigami. Katou and Emi are older by 650 years, while Ishigami is the father of the prime minister. | |

I Want My Beloved to Be Happy | |
| Linebarrels of Iron (Manga) / int_60547993 | comment |
I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Yajima likes Risako, but knows she likes Kouichi, so holds back. So when Emi shows up, he sees her as a threat to Risako's happiness, as evidenced by how unhappy Risako is around Emi and the other girls working with Kouichi in JUDA. Both Risako and Miu seem to feel this way as well towards the end. | |

Heel–Face Turn | |
| Linebarrels of Iron (Manga) / int_617f0563 | comment |
Heel–Face Turn: Jack in the anime, who has a rivalry with Reiji, and felt he couldn't do it properly if Reiji was on the same team as him. So he joins JUDA in order to fight against him "properly". Thankfully he's still just as Badass when fighting for JUDA as he was when fighting for Katou. Possibly in the manga with the entire Katou Organization, given that they had the same ultimate goal as JUDA and were just going about in a different way, and with Ishigami's death, Katou decides to try things the way his former subordinate did, which ends in our heroes being dissolved into Katou's squads. | |

Badass Normal: Sawatari & Yurianne, who both have fought both Linebarrel AND Verdant to a standstill with only their standard Armas, and looks damn good in the process. Also Domyouji, who despite being a normal human, can fight artificially-enhanced Hayase toe-to-toe, and can run circles around most Machina in his Jinrai. | |

We Hardly Knew Ye: Demitri, for whom, literaly no information is given regarding his background. Demitri gets it worse in the original manga, as he receives little to no character development and gets unceremoniously killed off by Kiriyama's Jinrais. At least the anime gives him an semi-decent death for a villain and tries to give him some character development. | |

Plot Parallel: Usually used for cruel irony. Here we have Domyouji asking to become the recently-orphaned Shizuna's co-pilot; there we have Sawatari brooding on Abraham Lincoln telling him he has no bearing on the plot meeting Miu who had just went insane. Both are events with the same cause (Miu killing Izuna, right after he confessed to her, too) and similar themes, but vastly different results. | |

Meaningful Name: JUDA Ishigami used to work as Katou's right hand man (during World War II) before becoming the factor for the Machina JUDA, afterwards he betrayed the Katou Organization. The Machina JUDA itself is one; it had no default name or serial number, and instead called itself 'J-U-D-A' when prompted. It is the Judas of the Machina. Deus as well. It's introduced as simply "Deus", but then we learn the Human-Machina call it Deus ex Machina. | |

Adaptation Explanation Extrication | |
| Linebarrels of Iron (Manga) / int_794f3589 | comment |
Adaptation Explanation Extrication: Most firearms used by the Machina, particularly by Vardant, are modern-technology additions (which also explains how nobody is worried about producing more ammunition for projectile weapons), just as the communication suites... Or Deceive's two-seater cockpit. All of these bits were used in the manga as important cases of I Am Not Left-Handed at one point or another, but are just there, without explanation, in the anime. This also sorts out why they can be surprised over Linebarrel having two factors, despite Deceive having been well-studied (and extensively modified by Izuna's and Shizuna's father, another plot point the anime omits). | |

Then they part ways and Kouichi and Emi return to our world without any explanation as to how and why.

BFS: The blade 'Eliminator' carried by Naked, Talisman's spear/lance 'Tail of the Kingdom', that large knife Pretender has, Painkiller's Chainsword, the large sword seen with Juda, the katanas wielded by both Linebarrel & Verdant and arguably, 'The Executor' used by Linebarrel, and it's not just the mechs who use them. | |

Hopeless Suitor | |
| Linebarrels of Iron (Manga) / int_863c780a | comment |
Hopeless Suitor: Although it teases you a bit, it's pretty obvious who Kouichi's going to end up with hint, they do a Crash-Into Hello in the beginning. Not that it doesn't stop the other girls from at least trying to hook up with him, or at least go into Tsundere mode in Shizuna's case. Played straight with Yajima towards Risako... until the time-skip in the manga where it reveals they're finally dating. | |

His eventual confessions to Kouichi reveal that since the rebooted Earth's history restarted in 1871, he may have been the 'real' thing in one way or another. | |

Machine Empathy: Some Factors seem to subconsciously converse with their Machina, up to and including getting combat training (Painkiller and Talisman), tactical (Pretender) or strategic advice (Juda) or grief counseling (Deceive) from them. It goes the other way around as well, when Moritsugu first identifies that all Machina FEAR Linebarrel whenever it activates Overdrive Mode. | |

What Measure Is a Non-Human? | |
| Linebarrels of Iron (Manga) / int_9c45b5a2 | comment |
What Measure Is a Non-Human?: Though probed as soon as it becomes known Machina can be self-aware, it doesn't get much attention until human-shaped Human-Machina arrive in the manga. And one of them joins the team because she has a crush on Moritsugu. What Is This Thing You Call "Love"?: And then gets confused when Furya, of all people, risks his baseline human life to save her from falling debris (and later some punks, too). | |

First Kiss: Risako, in an apparent Anguished Declaration of Love, gives one to Kouichi at the end of episode 12. Which then gets blown out of proportion both at school and at JUDA. Emi is not happy about that. Miu shares hers with Koiuchi in episode 20. Which kind of ticks off Shizuna, of all people. | |

A Mech by Any Other Name: Arma and Machinae, the distinctive difference between the two being Armas are mass produced, can't regenerate, and require cables to be inserted into the pilot's spine to pilot it to its fullest potential. Some Human-Machina of smaller sizes also use Power Armor that gives them equal footing with something Linebarrel-sized. | |

Mood Whiplash: Episode 13. Starts out really light-hearted, then you hear a gunshot, and Reiji just shot Ishigami. The anime is guilty of this in general, as the swings between slapstick comedy and serious drama can be as short as a minute of screentime. The manga delves into this only between chapters. | |

Red Eyes, Take Warning: Aside from "Factor eyes" that Factors get when they activate their Machina's powers, there's also the black streaks they develop when entering Overdrive mode and distinct robot-like mouth edges for Factors that get influenced by their Machina. When it happens to Ishigami, it's ominous and Foreshadowing. For Kouichi it's a moment of badassitude. For Miu it's blood-chillingly terrifying. The anime also adds black-face-plate for Machinized Factors such as Masaki, Soubi or Kiriyama. | |

Antagonist in Mourning | |
| Linebarrels of Iron (Manga) / int_b4dcdf5b | comment |
Antagonist in Mourning: In contrast to the anime's Running Gag-driven legacy of Ishigami (see Dead Man Writing below), in the manga all he leaves is a video message for Katou. He cries after seeing it, and so will you. | |

| Linebarrels of Iron (Manga) / int_beb9a361 | comment |
Anti-Hero: Reiji and Katou. Both have a sense of justice and freedom, but they go about it much differently than Ishigami, and aren't afraid to inflict casualties to achieve their goal. And it seems Ishigami knew about this, hence why Katou seemed to be allowed to enter JUDA's headquarters, and why they don't outright kill each other when they meet on the beach. Later in the manga it's revealed that Katou used to be his commanding officer back in WWII. | |

It fed its companions misinformation all along as it prepared a world capable of fighting back against them. | |

| Linebarrels of Iron (Manga) / int_c5ddc769 | comment |
Armored Coffins: No robots in either version have an ejection mechanism. Generally irrelevant as Arma pilots survivability rate is on par with snowballs in Hell if they're not an Ace Pilot, most Jinrai are remote-controlled and Machina and Factors are obscenely hard to kill until dead. Becomes rather literal with Izuna's death in the manga, when Deceive goes self-aware and traps him within before proceeding on a murderous rampage. | |

Dude Looks Like a Lady | |

Dude Looks Like a Lady: Izuna Endo, twin brother of Shizuna. Kouichi seems to summon Yoshi Akihisa when he jokingly says that Shizuna should act more girlish, then faces Izuna Endo, which ticks her off. While the anime flat-out renders Satoru as female, the manga flip-flops between male and female pronouns (sometimes dependent on the translator) before eventually settling on male. | |

Two Lines, No Waiting | |
| Linebarrels of Iron (Manga) / int_ca7ec334 | comment |
Two Lines, No Waiting: Often Juda's and Katou's operations are shown in parallel even if they won't interact within this story arc. After the two merge in the manga, the second line is either about Reubens, Sawatari or Deus. Plot Parallel: Usually used for cruel irony. Here we have Domyouji asking to become the recently-orphaned Shizuna's co-pilot; there we have Sawatari brooding on Abraham Lincoln telling him he has no bearing on the plot meeting Miu who had just went insane. Both are events with the same cause (Miu killing Izuna, right after he confessed to her, too) and similar themes, but vastly different results. Simultaneous Arcs: Used for some cases, such as the Kiriyama coup. | |

Cleaning Up Romantic Loose Ends: The anime's episode 26 hints at potential between Shizuna and Domyouji.

Killed Off for Real | |

Killed Off for Real: Ishigami, the president of JUDA in the anime. However, he did it in order to activate FLAG, a Cool Ship which was part of JUDA's headquarters, and which plays a pivotal role at the end of the series. He says that someone had to be sacrificed in order to use it. Hence why his physical body dies, but his mind/spirit lives on in the ship. Played straight for Katou and Ishigami in his AI form in the last battle. Then in the manga, Ishigami, Izuna and Miu all died for real. | |

Sigil Spam: The tri-bladed circular logo you see in the anime's opening? It's Linebarrel's crest. Every Machina has one, and while you can only see them when the pilot pods eject in the anime, the manga places them everywhere, from each Machina's forehead (Vardant's crescent moon is pretty prominent) to accessories of their Factors - the tie clip Kouichi uses to pin up Shizuna's hair has his crest, Linebarrel's crest, on it. The Juda Corporation logo (which is nothing like the crest of Juda the Machina) is everywhere, up to and including Soubi's kimono when he joins them in the manga. | |

Magnetic Hero | |
| Linebarrels of Iron (Manga) / int_d0f63e83 | comment |
Magnetic Hero: We get several polarized types of this trope: The anime plays it in a much more positive light, but Moritsugu is an attractor and motivator for the Juda Factors (and Ohba) because of his Stoic Spectacles demeanor and badass piloting skills. Kouichi, conversely, operates the human angle, regularly chewing Moritsugu out for failing to maintain True Companions and treating them like disposable tools. His concern over morale is one of the things that leads the others to accept him as a real Ally Of Justice and kickstarts Moritsugu's Defrosting Ice Queen Character Development. Ishigami and Katou, being similar, both employ the idealism-driven attraction, and the fanatical devotion some of Katou's subordinates have for him shows it works. | |

What the Hell, Hero?: Kouichi is a real Jerkass in the first few episodes, but it turns out that he's acting that way because he always felt weak compared to his friend Yajima. Unfortunately he lets that power go to his head. Which then ends up getting Yajima killed. When Kouichi finally joins Juda, he invokes this trope against Reiji a few times over failing to maintain a proper True Companions in his team. And hurting Yamashita's feelings. | |

White Void Room | |
| Linebarrels of Iron (Manga) / int_d50e7e13 | comment |
White Void Room: How linking your mind to a Machina looks to the linkee. We only experience this through Hayase's eyes, first when he reclaims Linebarrel from Amagatsu and second when he convinces Abraham Lincoln his Justice is the just one. In both cases, the Machina seems to be able to shape the setting based on its or the linkee's memories, including what shape to use for itself. | |

Creator Provincialism | |
| Linebarrels of Iron (Manga) / int_d68c925d | comment |
Creator Provincialism: None of the Factors are non-Japanese, meaning no Machina survive outside of Japan (Katou having apparently destroyed all of them). The token Human-Machina teammate is posing as Japanese. Only two of Katou's captains are non-Japanese (a Russian and an American). In a self-aware use of this trope, Abraham Lincoln arrives to meet the current President of the United States in a classic flying saucer. | |

Reasonable Authority Figure | |
| Linebarrels of Iron (Manga) / int_dca70c44 | comment |
Reasonable Authority Figure: While Ishigami is a bit eccentric at times, and seems to enjoy playing pranks (usually on Kouichi), he doesn't just start taking it out on his subordinates if things go wrong, and helps pay for the damages that Kouichi first causes without making much of a fuss. He also seems to see the potential in Kouichi, while most of the other members of JUDA initially feel he's a hotheaded nutcase. The manga implies at least part of the Bunny-Ears Lawyer is an act, and he's like a better-adjusted Gendo Ikari. Being the ultimate Chessmaster helps. | |

| Linebarrels of Iron (Manga) / int_e0113647 | comment |
Decon-Recon Switch: This work wastes no time in showing what a terrible idea entrusting a powerful and destructive giant robot to an immature and impulsive teenager is. And then proceeds to show how the same teenager can actually mature and grow to be a real hero. For bonus points, we're also shown how the same basic components of this hero — bullied kid with aspirations of being an Ally Of Justice - can also create either an Anti-Hero (Moritsugu), a Well-Intentioned Extremist (Kiriyama), or an Axe-Crazy vigilante (Miu at the end of her manga arc). | |

Whole-Plot Reference | |
| Linebarrels of Iron (Manga) / int_e303d198 | comment |
Whole-Plot Reference: Some of it is caused by deconstructing the same tropes, such as Falling into the Cockpit or Assimilation Plot, in the context of Humongous Mecha, and some may be intentional nods, but there's a lot of similarities to core plot points of Neon Genesis Evangelion, including a few to Rebuild of Evangelion. Using Humongous Mecha that have minds of their own because they used to be humans, with icing on the cake in Brain Uploading a protagonist's parent - fully gender flipped here, though into them. A dumping pit for remains of innumerable instances of said mecha, presented and treated as a graveyard, though with a lot less blood here. High-Pressure Blood geysers from the organic mecha at the slightest cut wound. Thankfully, it's not red for most of them. Ishigami is in many ways an Expy of Gendou Ikari, just one that has had time to learn that a Xanatos Gambit works better if your underlings adore you. Classmates of the protagonist ending up as his fellow robot pilots, and vice versa, which leads to the death of at least one of them. One of them has a weird intimate connection to the protagonist (though Emi does not qualify for a Rei Ayanami Expy). Giving a bullied kid a robot, then showing how having been bullied affects his piloting, particularly in the anime with Kouichi (the manga has a better example in Miu). A metaplot revolving around keeping a member of the enemy species in the basement of the base and using knowledge gained from it to fight them - Juda to Lilith, though Juda is cooperating willingly. Said base is a Futuristic Pyramid with copious Sigil Spam within. In fact, JUDA's logo is reminiscent of NERV's, is it not? Organic regeneration of the titular Humongous Mecha due to its unique special purpose. When the robots go nuts from having too much free will or being unable to process the emotions of their pilots, they go on rampages, at least one of which culminates in the robot biting into stuff with what was previously a decorative "mouth" area, as well as the death of a fellow pilot. Most pilots have one surviving parent or less, and more than one has died to give their children's robots their current abilities. A rival agency building fully-automated inorganic mecha as competition to the protagonists' ones, which they end up fighting when it turns bad. The final battles involve tons of extra creepy mass-produced pilotless versions of organic mecha similar to those of the protagonists. Painting the moon red, literally and/or figuratively. The anime version of the Human-Machina endgame plan is not dissimilar to one version of Instrumentality. A time-skip of several years for the protagonist, where he doesn't feel the passage of time but everyone else does, and he returns to a world much worse off than he left despite securing what he thought was a victory. It's also used to introduce new pilots and demonstrate that pilots of the organic mecha can't age past a certain point. | |

Conversely, the other girls who have a crush on Kouichi at JUDA, especially Emi, aren't fond of him spending too much time with Risako in the anime or Miu in the manga either. Shizuna isn't too fond of Yurianne trying to "steal" her brother Izuna away in the anime. The manga eventually gives us Ohba who serves this role towards Moritsugu. An omake shows her and Satoru trying to out-cling each other before they bond over their love of Super Robot anime. | |

Adaptational Context Change: The robot-to-fistfight duel between Kouichi and a resurrected Yajima is present in both versions, but their only similarities are the participants, the leaping out of their robots to collide their punches and that one of the robots is Apparition. The everything else, from the cause of the fight (it's not about Risako's happiness in the manga) to its location (a stormy night on a coast in the anime, bright daylight at Juda's base in the manga) to the outcome (Kouichi "wins" in both cases, but instead of a What the Hell, Hero? speech, they reconcile then and there) is different. | |

| Linebarrels of Iron (Manga) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: In episode 6, Kouichi keeps getting rushed to an emergency room after a prank Ishigami plays on him. After the third one, Ishigami himself joins alongside him, after Yui punishes him for his latest prank of giving Kouichi a video of Emi undressing. Emi telling Kouichi that he makes her sick. Its meaning gradually changes however. The manga ends it when Kouichi gets to use it on her, and he's right. The manga omakes have one with Yamashita taking offense at Hind-Kind being called useless, or being referred to by Hind-Kind feature's rather than Yamashita's own, such as being called "yellow". | |

Canon Immigrant: Several of the anime-exclusive characters and/or events have been slowly folded into the original manga, most notably Rachel Calvin and Miu Kujou as well as Yajima becoming Apparition's factor and coming Back from the Dead. Subverted: These were not anime exclusive in the traditional sense, but pulled from the manga before they were introduced starting so early in the manga's run. The anime used the notes the author had written a long time in advance. | |

Beware the Nice Ones | |
| Linebarrels of Iron (Manga) / int_fccd06b6 | comment |
Beware the Nice Ones: Izuna uses some of the abuse he suffers against his enemies via the Nerve-crack, resulting in some nasty horror-filled visions sent to anyone affected by it. Judging from the resulting screams it's probably a good thing the audience can't see what they see most of the time. Also Miu, especially in the manga since she enjoys combat much more than her anime counterpart. Ogawa doesn't take Ishigami's pranks on Kouichi too lightly. She also doesn't like it when Rachel tries to sneak into her room in episode 25. | |

Theme Naming | |
| Linebarrels of Iron (Manga) / int_fd94c4ac | comment |
Theme Naming: The Lostbarrel, Linebarrel and Ravbarrel all originate from the same tech tree. Deceive V, due to it being a man-made Arma, not a Machina. | |
