And then, the bodies start piling up, one by one. It would be an interesting exercise, for example, to imagine if the cast of Slice of Lives such as Yuru Yuri or K-on were a tightly knitted squad Eishi pilots instead, circa 2010, in a Post-Alternative Fanfic. Placing such characters into the world of Muv-Luv extra would be a brilliant exploration of these characters- clearly, some would fare better than others, some may even do better than Takeru, while some would die very, very fast. There are plenty of characters in animes with much more lighter themes, from Rom-Coms, Slice of Life and certain variants of Shounen, often derisively labeled moe blobs and Generic Harem protagonists. When asked by Takeru, she revealed that their Combat Evaluation Exams were made significantly harder than everyone else's to ensure their failure.One of the main elements of Muv Luv that makes it so prime for Fanfic fuel is it's essential premise of transferring characters from a lighter, softer, more idealistic world and genre like Muv Luv Extra, into the grim nature of Muv Luv Unlimited and Alternative. Kouzuki Yuuko mentioned that the graduation of Squad 207B was delayed due to the squad's political importance. Initially operating TF-4Js, the unit switched to Type-97s for later batches of cadets. During the XM3 Trials, the former cadets of the 207 th Training Flight's second class were given the designation of A207 Flight, and split into A and B squads. During the 12/5 Incident on the 5 th of December, 2001, the flight was deployed as a combat unit, and given the temporary designation of 207 th Tactical Armored Platoon. By 2001, the personnel size of the 207 th had fallen drastically, and on various occasions it was identified as the 207 th Training Flight. In 1996, the 207 th was officially named the 207 th Eishi Training School, with pilot candidates split across various training flights. Established at the Imperial Army Hakuryou Base during Alternative IV's early years to train new pilot candidates for Alternative IV and Special Task Force A-01, the subsequent fall and retaking of the Japanese mainland saw the 207 th Unit re-activated in the newly reconstructed Yokohama Base in 1999.
