+ - I don't want how, in _Sky Wizards Academy_ canon, nobody [except those with magical potential](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RippleEffectProofMemory) can remember the dead to be a thing — that is, death in the series ['ret-gones'](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RetGone) the deceased. On the other hand, that nobody mundane can remember Socié Whitale is a large part of the motivation from Misora Whitale's backstory behind why she was inspired to go on and fight to protect Mistgun as a 'wizard.'
+ Here's one possible idea of how to work around this, though some of its details would still need working out: individuals lacking magical potential don't lose their memories of mages who've passed away, but Socié Whitale (and perhaps others) are still lost to Mistgun in one or more ways that makes it so said wizards can't return, at least not easily. This still keeps some of the essence of the situation from canon intact, if not all of its _particulars_: instead of Misora being upset with her father Gale for not being able to remember her mother/his wife Socié, Misora is instead upset that Gale knowingly admits that he can't do anything to help find Socié if she's still out there and has resigned himself to the knowledge of her status of 'missing, presumed dead.'
+ Of course, the one question that this raises to leave open is why Socié's magic cannon sword, Radgrid, got located and returned to Mistgun, but not Socié herself. In any event, this leaves the possibility of Misora reuniting with her mothe. This would likely happen as part of exploration beyond Mistgun, as could be expected in a crossover, whether such was self-directed or incited by contact initiated when another party ended up there in or near the floating academy city.
+ - [Real Nua](https://kuusenmadoushikouhoseinokyoukan.fandom.com/wiki/Real_Nua) is perverse. I can see two possibilities here; either:
+
+ - He's caught doing prohibited experiments with this project's continuity's counterpart of the series's canon 'Beetles' and ends up in jail, derailing events and butterflying his influence in them away completely.
+ - He witnessed something similar to his canon actions perpetrated by another individual somewhere else besides Mistgun before coming there and actually learned enough from said person's mistakes. This keeps him as an antagonist, albeit a more moderate one.
+
+ Either way, he deserves nerfing of some form or another.
+ - Rico Flamel's still a narcissist with an inferiority complex (partly concerning her sister older Freon) who's deluded herself into thinking she's a goddess and declaring it for all to hear. If there's any way that Rico could get disabused of her foolish notions, then I might well like to hear it. (That sort of character development is certainly the kind that'd take longer, though.) Another tack that could get taken here is for Rico to gain some kind of divine blessing from one of _Sword Art Online_ canon's Underworld's goddesses' counterparts in this project's continuity at some point, but that doesn't deflate the drama queen's ego. 0

I originally thought I might be able to capitalize on the original description I had for this entry, which follows with one slight modification, but:
- The setting has [its own gods](https://shakugan.fandom.com/wiki/Crimson_God), albeit hailing from and wielding authority in its ['Crimson Realm'](https://shakugan.fandom.com/wiki/Crimson_Realm) and not from/on Earth, hence why its series got moved to this part of this document.
- - Some setting mechanics and lore do clash, or at least feel(s) like it/they could clash, with _Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha_'s.

Trying to fit _Spice & Wolf_ into Theldesia somewhere might involve a bit of a geography question and/or exercise, though. The series's setting has some things in common with late-medieval/early-Renaissance Europe, but the topography doesn't match up, at least not entirely. Alternatively, the setting's countries could also go on Theldesia's habitable Venus analogue just like this project's iteration of _Sword Art Online_'s Underworld. That'd avoid most of the geography issue, but I'd still need to figure out where _Spice & Wolf_'s known geography would end up on that world's map.

(Aside: This series was by Seven Arcs, the same studio known for _Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha_. That doesn't change anything about my opinion here in the following discussion, though.)
Not only is the premise behind the sports tournament 'battles' that happen silly, so is what happens to defeated opponents during these conflicts. When dispatched, combatants native to the series's setting's isekai destination of Flanyard turn into…cute little bouncing balls of chibi fluff with their ears and tails sticking out. If I remember correctly, it may be spell that makes this happen, but I'd be surprised if the mechanics of the magic involved didn't conflict with how _Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha_ spell mechanics.
Also, I don't know where Flanyard would be, either as a whole planet as in _Dog Days_ canon or as, say, just a continent. Hypothetically, one could find some way to do a 'real war' AU for the series and then I could use that, but such a thing isn't really in the spirit of the series.

- 'kingdom' here referring to the Eldant Empire, of course. In that case, the scenario would be that Petralka's a displaced monarch who's fled into exile, seeking anonymity amidst her country's residents — that is, if she hasn't had to depart its borders entirely.
- That has the potential to leave an interesting possibility open, however: maybe Myucel helps Petralka make her getaway, leading the two of them to become friendly towards each other earlier than in _Outbreak Company_ series canon.)

Again putting scope concerns to the side to defer handling them for the moment, there are some elements that I would or might be open to adding but have set aside for now which need some workshopping before they fit in with everything else. This sub-section's for those kinds of entries.
- - _Chivalry of a Failed Knight_
-
- The series's canon in-universe chronology pre-supposes widespread historical mage activity, whereas even the bare minimum of how this project intertwines the crossover source material origins it already uses leaves magic use undocumented in human history. _Chivalry of a Failed Knight_ would therefore have to come in as an AU version of itself if I were to add it, but it could work otherwise. Here are some things that'd have to change to get doing that to work:
-
- - Blazer magic's and device\* summoning's mechanics would have to get reworked a bit. In _Chivalry of a Failed Knight_ canon, Blazers focus their magic and summon their devices\* by channeling their _souls_. While, in this project and its various crossover source material origins, a mage's reserves of energy, mystical or otherwise, _are_ tied to their corporeal and metaphysical existence in some way, be that by _Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha_-style Linker Core or some other mechanism, they aren't shavings off of a mage's soul. (Of course, that probably doesn't stop one or more religions or magical or mystical traditions somewhere in-universe from pretending otherwise.)
-
- \* No, _Chivalry of a Failed Knight_ Blazer 'Devices' aren't _Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha_-style Storage Device, Boost Devices, Armed Devices, Intelligent Devices, Hybrid-Intelligent or Autonomous-Action Type Intelligent Devices, or Unison Devices, though I suppose they could qualify as Device-like equipment, albeit a novel type in that they're summoned.
- - Some or all of the series's ecchi elements would have to get toned down to some extent or removed altogether. (Admittedly, this might prove somewhat difficult to do, as an ecchi incident is what got the series's male and female protagonists together and paired up with each other to _begin_ with…)
-
- I suppose another way this could potentially be made to work could be to move it further down this project's timeline into its future after its current focus.
- _The Asterisk War_
Its backstory includes a divergent history, including a global apocalypse precipitating societal disruption and partial collapse, starting with the late 20<sup>th</sup> century. I'd also say that it additionally includes sentient AI before it's supposed to exist in this project, _buuut_…:

- - _The Asterisk War_
-
- Its backstory includes a divergent history, including a global apocalypse precipitating societal disruption and partial collapse, starting with the late 20<sup>th</sup> century. I'd also say that it additionally includes sentient AI before it's supposed to exist in this project, _buuut_…:
-
- - Of _Sword Art Online_'s canon AI characters, Alice is just a normal human in this project's continuity. That decouples her from AI's emergence and vice versa. (Maybe Yui's a _Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha_-style Device, probably a Hybrid-Intelligent or Autonomous-Action Type Intelligent Device, after she gets 'isekai'd to a mash-up of all the games the transfer involved like all of their players, but that still doesn't make her count, either, as she'd exist independently of a game server.)
- - If [issue #37](shttps://gitlab.com/RandomDSdevel/as-yet-untitled-sword-art-online-oc-insert-fusion-multi-crossover-idea/-/issues/37) got resolved in favor of adding _Full Metal Panic!_ into this project as crossover source material, then:
-
- - [Dana](https://fullmetalpanic.fandom.com/wiki/Dana), Mithril's [_TDD-1 Tuatha de Danaan_ amphibious Assault Landing Submarine](https://fullmetalpanic.fandom.com/wiki/Tuatha_de_Danaan)'s AI
- - [Al](https://fullmetalpanic.fandom.com/wiki/ARX-7_Arbalest#Al), Mithril's [_ARX-7 Arbalest_](https://fullmetalpanic.fandom.com/wiki/ARX-7_Arbalest)'s AI
-
- make this point moot. (Though perhaps Earth technology hasn't progressed to the point where you could fit a sentient AI in a robot or android roughly the size of a person yet?)
- - _Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha_'s Al-Hazard had and Midchilda and allied worlds have AIs in Intelligent Devices, though that of course doesn't translate over to Earth technology unless and until (after) someone starts attempting to reverse-engineer it or is just provided with the knowledge needed to produce it outright.
- - Given [issue #34](https://gitlab.com/RandomDSdevel/as-yet-untitled-sword-art-online-oc-insert-fusion-multi-crossover-idea/-/issues/38), I should note that _Triangle Heart 3: Sweet Songs Forever_ already has Noel K. Ehrlichkeit as a sentient robot, although she and her added sister Farin K. Ehrlichkeit are human in _Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha_'s various continuities.
-
- All this being the case, _The Asterisk War_ could be made to work as an added crossover source material origin — and would then go in this document's other section — if:
-
- - An AU reworking its backstory to remove the apocalypse from canon's divergent history without otherwise disturbing canon events too much got used.
- - It took place in this project's continuity after computer technology gets scaled down enough to host a sentient AI in a body close to the size of a human's.
- _Sky Wizards Academy_
This could fit in alongside _WorldEnd: What are you doing at the end of the world? Are you busy? Will you save us?_ — see [issue #39]()https://gitlab.com/RandomDSdevel/as-yet-untitled-sword-art-online-oc-insert-fusion-multi-crossover-idea/-/issues/39 —, but it'd have to be an AU:

- - I don't want how, in _Sky Wizards Academy_ canon, nobody [except those with magical potential](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RippleEffectProofMemory) can remember the dead to be a thing — that is, death in the series ['ret-gones'](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RetGone) the deceased. On the other hand, that nobody mundane can remember Socié Whitale is a large part of the motivation from Misora Whitale's backstory behind why she was inspired to go on and fight to protect Mistgun as a 'wizard.'
- Here's one possible idea of how to work around this, though some of its details would still need working out: individuals lacking magical potential don't lose their memories of mages who've passed away, but Socié Whitale (and perhaps others) are still lost to Mistgun in one or more ways that makes it so said wizards can't return, at least not easily. This still keeps some of the essence of the situation from canon intact, if not all of its _particulars_: instead of Misora being upset with her father Gale for not being able to remember her mother/his wife Socié, Misora is instead upset that Gale knowingly admits that he can't do anything to help find Socié if she's still out there and has resigned himself to the knowledge of her status of 'missing, presumed dead.'
- Of course, the one question that this raises to leave open is why Socié's magic cannon sword, Radgrid, got located and returned to Mistgun, but not Socié herself. In any event, this leaves the possibility of Misora reuniting with her mothe. This would likely happen as part of exploration beyond Mistgun, as could be expected in a crossover, whether such was self-directed or incited by contact initiated when another party ended up there in or near the floating academy city.
- - [Real Nua](https://kuusenmadoushikouhoseinokyoukan.fandom.com/wiki/Real_Nua) is perverse. I can see two possibilities here; either:
-
- - He's caught doing prohibited experiments with this project's continuity's counterpart of the series's canon 'Beetles' and ends up in jail, derailing events and butterflying his influence in them away completely.
- - He witnessed something similar to his canon actions perpetrated by another individual somewhere else besides Mistgun before coming there and actually learned enough from said person's mistakes. This keeps him as an antagonist, albeit a more moderate one.
-
- Either way, he deserves nerfing of some form or another.
- - Rico Flamel's still a narcissist with an inferiority complex (partly concerning her sister older Freon) who's deluded herself into thinking she's a goddess and declaring it for all to hear. If there's any way that Rico could get disabused of her foolish notions, then I might well like to hear it. (That sort of character development is certainly the kind that'd take longer, though.) Another tack that could get taken here is for Rico to gain some kind of divine blessing from one of _Sword Art Online_ canon's Underworld's goddesses' counterparts in this project's continuity at some point, but that doesn't deflate the drama queen's ego. 0

I won't write the swearing, lewd gesturing, and political, religious, and other irreverence that bringing _Black Lagoon_ in as a crossover source material origin would involve, though. Also, I'm not dealing with [Hansel and Gretel](https://lagooncompany.fandom.com/wiki/H%C3%A4nsel_and_Gretel).

## Elements I Won't Add
These are elements, including dismissed crossover source material origins, that I won't consider adding into this project, mostly because they don't fit with other content.

Merge a commit that I initially staged here on branch 'main' but whose
staging origin I decided to change to a new, different branch in. I'm still
using branch 'more-syncing-with-repository-issues' for further commits, though,
so it'll stick around for now.
