Line 65:
* [[Global Currency]]: Averted. In episode 20, when the Frieden arrives at a prosperous port city, the crew is shown exchanging their currency at a booth.
* [[Grand Theft Me]]: {{spoiler|Since she's kept inside a capsule, Lucille uses her powers to possess Tiffa's body and use her as a medium so she can reach for her "little brother" Jamil.}}
* [[Guns Akimbo]]: Gundam Leopard is just loaded with almost all kinds of gunnery a la [[Mobile Suit Gundam Wing|Heavyarms]]. Airmaster is [[Dual-Wielding]] two guns.
* [[Happy Ending]]: A rare one for Gundam. {{spoiler|Olba and Shagia are defeated, the Satellite System is destroyed, the NUNE and the Colonies make peace, and the various couples live on happily in a recovering world...oh, and did I mention all the main characters live? [[Kill'Em All]] Tomino wouldn't ever have let that happen.}}
Line 77 ⟶ 75:
* [[Humongous Mecha|Humungous Mobile Armor]]: The Newtype-driven Patulia. At ''617 meters'', it's as big as the SDF-1.
* [[Idiosyncratic Episode Naming]]: Every single episode title is [[Title Drop|a line spoken in that episode]].
* [[Innocent Fanservice Girl]]: Tiffa, but just once.
* [[It Runs in The Family]]: The Frost Brothers
* [[I Uh You Too]]: Garrod and Tiffa.
Line 85 ⟶ 83:
* [[MacGuffin Girl]]: {{spoiler|To a degree, Tiffa and Lucille.}}
* [[Mecha Expansion Pack]]: The Divider set for the GX, which removes its (now broken) Satellite Cannon and original Beam Rifle, opting out for a stronger beam assault rifle, an extra Beam Saber, and a shield which mounts flight-capable thrusters, as well as the "Beam Harmonica" Divider Cannon. The G-Falcon counts as one too, able to attach to a Gundam Airmaster to boost its mobility, a Gundam X/DX to increase its total available firepower, or a Gundam Leopard to give it a means of flight.
* [[Mid-Season Upgrade]]:
** {{spoiler|The Divider simultaneously plays this straight ''and'' averts this. Compared to its original form, the X Divider is more mobile, has more conventional firepower, and is overall a better option for straight-up battles. However, its Harmonica Cannon is downright pathetic compared to the raw firepower of the Satellite Cannon and would in theory be useless against Colony Drops. Fortunately (sort of), there aren't many colonies left to drop by that point, so it's not an issue.}}
* [[Mighty Glacier]]: The Gable, one of the [[Psycho for Hire]] MS used in the Estard arc, fits this trope to a tee, being gigantic, heavily armored, and using a beam deflection system for further defense. It doesn't even use weapons; instead battling enemy MS with nothing more than its titanic fists.
* [[More Dakka]]: The Gundam Leopard - which is somewhat fitting since it plays the role of fire support.
Line 133 ⟶ 131:
* [[This Is Reality]]: In episode 10, Garrod duels his first Newtype opponent, Carris, and declares that even a Newtype won't beat him. Cue a ''brutal'' [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown]] that utterly wrecks the Gundam X before Carris combines this kind of speech with a [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]].
* [[The End of the World as We Know It]]: See [[Colony Drop]], which was so extensive that it exterminated over 99% of humanity.
* [[Spell My Name with an "S"]]: Inevitable because the series
* [[The Starscream]]: {{spoiler|The Frost Brothers}}
* [[The Stoic]]: Jamil Neate. {{spoiler|Quite a contrast with his [[Cheerful Child]] former self...}}
* [[Shrinking Violet]]: Tiffa Adill, after spending years as a lab rat because of her powers, develops almost crippling shyness and fear of people. Can't really blame her.
* [[Stripperiffic]]: Ennil El is one of the few pilots in Gundam history who strips ''down'' when piloting her robot.
** In fact, she may have [[A Worldwide Punomenon|jump-started]] the entire [[Gainaxing]] trend in [[Super Robot Wars]] via her appearance in [[Super Robot Wars Alpha|Alpha Gaiden]].
* {{spoiler|[[Suicide by Cop]]}}: {{spoiler|An episode's title is: "I'm a Fool; Shoot Me".}}
* [[Tag-Team Twins]]: The Frost Brothers.
* [[Taking the Bullet]]: {{spoiler|Shagia takes an energy blast for Olba. Who [[Freak-Out|does NOT]] [[Unstoppable Rage|respond well]]. }}
