Line 58:
* [[Gosh Dang It to Heck]]: P.J's last words {{spoiler|before he gets shot down by Pixy?}} ''"DANG IT!"'' Notable for being the ''only'' time P.J. loses his cool; he also sounds genuinely furious, ''not'' like he's toning down his language.
* [[Hufflepuff House]]: Ustio and Sapin are this to Osea and Yuktobania despite the fact that the player character is from one of these Third-Party Countries.
* [[
* [[Insult Backfire]]: An amusing conversation between Pixy and PJ:
{{quote|'''Pixy''': Galm 2 to Crow 3, if you get shot down, crash where I can't see you.
Line 70:
** The bombers' radio chatter is borderline [[Axe Crazy]] as well:
{{quote|'''Bomber pilot:''' Turn it to ashes! (pause) That's ''not enough!'' DROP MORE BOMBS!!}}
** It's not just a munitions facility - it's an ''entire city.'' And the Allied forces aren't the only ones kicking the dog - Belkan forces are ''committing arson'' to many buildings - some of them privately owned - on their way out.
* [[King Arthur]]: ''Ace Combat Zero'' is so positively rich with Arthurian motifs. Notable ones included names like the "Hydrian Line" as a defended area and "The Round Table" as a nickname for a famous battlefield. Also present are the Excalibur laser tower (complete with a comment from a soldier after its destruction that "the sword has been pulled from the stone") and fighter pilots with names like Joshua "Lucan" Bristow and Anthony "Bedivere" Palmer. Furthermore, members of A World With No Boundaries begin to refer to {{spoiler|Pixy}} as their "King" and note that he has departed for "Avalon", actually a code name for a weapons lab hidden under an artificial lake, and at the end of the game the last boss fights you in a plane called the ADFX-02 "Morgan" and the mastermind behind A World With No Boundaries delivers his final speech from prison where he is serving his life sentence for war crimes, much like Merlin locked in his stone tower (appropriate for the leader of a squadron named "Wizard").
** Don't forget that the only way for you to finish off said last boss is {{spoiler|[[Air Jousting|pretty much as close as jet fighters can get to knightly jousting]]}}. When combined with the epic, EPIC musical score playing, it was also the game's [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]].
Line 110:
* [[Theme Music Power-Up]]: ''Zero'' likes doing this. Cue the Spanish Guitar and prepare to wet your pants.
* [[Title Drop]]: "We'll start over from 'zero' with this V2..." (complete with quotations in the subtitles).
** Pixy even emphasizes "zero" a bit.
* [[True Final Boss]]: {{spoiler|Mobius One and his Raptor}} in the Gauntlet.
* [[Truth in Television]]: Though the times and planes are different, Belkan enemy pilots seem to show some signs of the code of Chivalry, In real life early World War One pilots displayed such acts.
