Line 30:
* [[Conspicuous CGI]]: ''Brave Battle Warriors'' mixes cel shaded CGI characters (usually leading ones) with normally animated ones, leading instantly to speculation that anyone not in CGI is not getting a model kit made. [[Jossed]] with Toutaku Zaku.
** Toutaku Zaku did eventually get his own CG model for the last couple episodes he appeared in. Kanpei Gundam turns ''from cel to CGI in his debut episode''.
* [[Cool Horse]]: Practically everyone, at least implied so - Ryofu Tallgeese has the Sekitoba, which ''turns into a bike''; Chou-un Gundam has the Hieisen; Shouretsutei Ryuubi Gundam has the Tekiro; and everyone else gets the generic [https://web.archive.org/web/20130522020800/http://bandai-hobby.net/sangokuden/product/bbsenshi/hakugin.html Hakugin Ryuuseiba], identical to Hieisen.
** There's also the [https://web.archive.org/web/20130522024255/http://bandai-hobby.net/sangokuden/product/bbsenshi/nanpou_kibatai.html Nanban Kibatai], Moukaku Gundam's mounted cavalry.
** The anime introduces Sousou's Zetsuei, a sharp, jet black affair.
* [[Cool Shades]]: Kan-U Gundam, Sonken Gundam, Sosaku Physalis and Sonken Zephyrantes actually have these incorporated into their design. The Shuuyu Hyakushiki model includes an alternate sticker for the eyes intended to invoke this.
Line 92:
** Apparently the gate of Korou Fortress is shaped like one.
* [[Merchandise-Driven]]: reaches an egregious level when the new Kiba Breaker toyline, featuring our heroes on motorised mounts that are basically [[Weaponised Car|Weaponised Cars]] with horse heads, make it into the anime.
* [[Mid-Season Upgrade]]: Invoked at different points with [https://web.archive.org/web/20140314044446/http://bandai-hobby.net/sangokuden/product/bbsenshi/syouretsutei.html Ryuubi Gundam,] Sousou Gundam, [https://web.archive.org/web/20130904060022/http://bandai-hobby.net/sangokuden/product/bbsenshi/tensyouryuu_koumei.html Koumei Re-GZ], Sonken Gundam, {{spoiler|Ryofu Tallgeese and Shiba-I Sazabi.}}
** The anime does something similar after Tengyokugai is awakened and a brief [[Time Skip]] is invoked - our heroes use the time to upgrade into Ryousou (Dragon-Armor) Ryubi, Ogasou (Demon Tusk-Armor) Kan-U, Raisou (Thunder-Armor) Chouhi, Gurensou (Red-Mantle) Sousou and Mokousou (Tiger-Armor) Sonken. All this is placed chronologically before the ones stated above.
* [[Military Mashup Machine]]: Lampshaded with Moukaku Gundam's elephant cavalry (the use of elephants in war is [[Older Than Feudalism]]) that transform into tanks (their more contemporary equivalent).
* [[Mooks]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20130522031432/http://bandai-hobby.net/sangokuden/product/bbsenshi/butaihei.html The Butaihei], modelled after the RX-79 GM (for Shou, Gou, Giga), Zaku-1 (Toutaku Zaku and maybe Giga), and [[Mobile Suit Gundam Wing|Leo]] (Ryofu Tallgeese's personal army). Moukaku Gundam has the Nanban Kibatai.
* [[Mythology Gag]]: For starters...
** Shouretsutei Ryuubi resembles the Hakuryu Taitei Gundam, acknowleging the nobility of his bloodline
Line 108:
* [[Palette Swap]]: Glaringly obvious with the three factions' footsoldiers, all based on the RX-79 GM and only differentiated by color.
** Among the named characters, there's Gien Gundam, identical to Kochu Gundam but based on the 'Titans' recolor into which their archetype, the RX-178, was ''also'' recolored.
** Shiba-I Sazabi goes through one for his promotion to [https://web.archive.org/web/20131121220237/http://bandai-hobby.net/sangokuden/product/bbsenshi/gigataifu_shibai.html Giga Taifu], particularly notable as he gets recolored INTO the Sazabi's normal colors [[Law of Chromatic Superiority|(white to red)]].
** This happens more often with the merchandise of course - not just straight recolors, but the Kanpei Gundam and Shuusou Doven Wolf sets include ''recolored Ryuubi parts.''
* [[Plug N Play Technology]]: several cases thanks to the model kits' interchangeability. {{spoiler|The Ankoku Gyokuji in particular is capable of combining with different characters to become Expies of [[One-Winged Angel]]-class mecha from different Gundam continuities.}}
* [[Power Gives You Wings]]: Several. Notably [https://web.archive.org/web/20140314205056/http://bandai-hobby.net/sangokuden/product/bbsenshi/kyoui.html Kyou-I Gundam] upon assuming his full F-91 form.
* [[Punny Name]]: the Nanban Kibatai. 'Kiba' can mean both 'fang' or 'horseback riding', but this mounted cavalry carries standards with the ''kanji'' for 'fang'.
* [[Put on a Bus]]: Ryofu Tallgeese in the first chapter. Ryuubi Gundam and Sousou Gundam at the end of the second chapter.
** {{spoiler|[[He's Back]]: All of them....}}
* [[Real Is Brown]]: Take a look at the [https://web.archive.org/web/20131121221748/http://bandai-hobby.net/sangokuden/product/bbsenshi/redcliff.html recolored Koumei Re-GZ and Shuuyu Hyakushiki] for the tie-in with the live-action movie ''[[Red Cliff]]''.
* [[Rule of Three]]
* [[Sailor Earth]]: the number of unused ''Three Kingdoms'' or even ''Dynasty Warriors'' characters, coupled with the ''immense'' amount of leftover Gundam mecha provide prime fodder. [http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a323/aaronhong/Bandai%20Plamo/XiaoQiaoMethuss02.png Xiao Qiao Methuss], [http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a323/aaronhong/Bandai%20Plamo/CaoZhiAirmaster01.png Cao Zhi] [http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a323/aaronhong/Bandai%20Plamo/CaoZhiAirmaster02.png Airmaster], [http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a323/aaronhong/Bandai%20Plamo/CaoRenLeopard00.png Cao Ren Leopard...]
Line 121:
* [[Shoulders of Doom]]: several, particularly the Ryukihou whether it's on Shuuretsutei Ryubi or the Five Shou Generals. The ''Brave battle Warriors'' version of Shuuretsutei Ryubi has the added option of swapping his regular shoulderpieces (Kan-U and Chouhi's) with all the ones the other Five Generals would use.
** Shuu Neue Ziel is ''almost all giant shoulders.''
* [[Shout-Out]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20130901210458/http://bandai-hobby.net/sangokuden/product/bbsenshi/sonsyoukou.html Sonshoukou Gerbera] - based on the [[Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory|GP04]], carries the weapons of the [[Mobile Fighter G Gundam|Rising Gundam]], and wearing [[Street Fighter|Chun Li's outfit]].
** The anime gives special emphasis to [[Red Cliff|any scene with Shuuyu and Koumei together.]]
* [[The Smurfette Principle]]: Out of the three named female characters, [https://web.archive.org/web/20130104194604/http://bandai-hobby.net/sangokuden/chara/toutaku/cyousen.html Chousen Qubeley], [https://web.archive.org/web/20130528224353/http://bandai-hobby.net/sangokuden/chara/gou/sonsyoukou.html Sonshoukou Gerbera] and [https://web.archive.org/web/20130518011253/http://bandai-hobby.net/sangokuden/chara/other/syukuyuu.html Shukuyuu Gundam], one has already been [[Stuffed in The Fridge]] early on. {{spoiler|It's the first one.}}
** For that matter, ''[[Red Cliff]]'' introduced the immensely popular character [[Silk Hiding Steel|Xiao]] [[Germans Love David Hasselhoff|Qiao]], who notably has no Expy in ''Sangokuden'', yet there's no plans to add her to the lineup.
* [[Spared by the Adaptation]]: a select few, most notably {{spoiler|Chousen Qubeley.}}
