Deconstruction: ViVid Strike! takes a differing view on two franchise-wide themes:.Subverted, because despite Tempting Fate, not only does Vivio win her rematch against Rinne, but also hands the latter her first defeat by KO. The entire conversation and flashback is bound to raise uneasy thoughts, especially after the prior episode. A Defeat In The Limelight: Episode 7 heavily focuses on Vivio, who was Demoted to Extra, giving more background into her meeting with Nove.Darker and Edgier: While by no means the darkest entry in the Lyrical Nanoha franchise, compared to Nanoha ViVid this series is far less fun-and-games, centering around a broken friendship, and featuring such scenes as bullying and raw violence.Needless to say, she made them suffer the following day. Oh, and all of this was going on while her grandfather (the one that made the tiepin) was dying. Crush the Keepsake: Rinne has her tiepin destroyed when three bullies beat her unconscious.Continuity Nod: Sieg is seen dressed as a Meido in the ending montage of the final episode, having previously acted as Victoria's maid in ViVid Life.And the fighters that didn't show up during that scene are shown right before Fuka and Einhart's fight at the end. Continuity Cavalcade: During Fuka and Rinne's talk in the final episode, we see shots of all the minor characters ranging from the one-shot fighters, to Fuka's former employer, to the people at the orphanage.Christmas Episode: There is a bonus episode which involves the characters competing in Christmas-themed games.Censor Steam: Used during Rinne's Shower Scene in Episode 3.Lutecia makes a more proper appearance in the following episode. Otto, Deed and Lutecia also make a brief appearance in the same sequence, although Deed is only seen at distance, with her back turned against the camera.They (along with the other five Nakajima sisters and Teana) also show up in the second bonus manga chapter included in the Blu-ray release. Nanoha and Fate both show up (with their faces blurred out) in episode 8 when Rinne is thinking about how privileged Vivio is.Possibly justified by the fact these bullies were members of the Fighting Club, and they could have responded physically like they did with Rinne. Bystander Syndrome: As is the case in most schools, despite most of the bullying on Rinne happening in public places, the other students do nothing besides watch with pity and try to be as uninvolved as possible.When they eventually pushed things too far by beating her to unconsciousness so she wasn't able to make it to her beloved grandfather's side before he died, Rinne made them suffer dearly the following day, casually snapping one of their arms in half and busting the heads of the other two open against the lockers. This, despite originally offering her a spot due to her nationals-caliber talent in martial arts. The fighting club full of Alpha Bitches decided to make her their bullying target after Rinne turned down their offer to join their club and they learned that she was just an orphan.
