Line 11 ⟶ 10:
In the same way ''Gundam 00'' introduced several new ideas into the Gundam franchise, the film lives up to its name of "Trailblazer". For the first time in the thirty year history of ''[[Gundam]]'', ''A wakening of the Trailblazer'' introduced a living alien race, known as ELS (Extra-Terrestrial Living-Metal Shape-Shifters).
It was released in Japanese theaters on September
{{tropelist}}
* [[Adaptation Decay]]: Parodied hard in the [[Show Within a Show|movie within the movie]] ''Celestial Being''. None of the Gundam Meisters depicted in that movie looks like the real ones. In that movie, Setsuna has a scar in his face, Allelujah is a little girl, Tieria is a [[Scary Black Man]] and Lockon is a puny guy with glasses. And that Setsuna is even more [[Hot-Blooded]] than the real one!
** And then for metatropic-irony: Lockon is shown wearing similar glasses in the opening credits before the movie within a movie and then directly after as well.
Line 21 ⟶ 19:
* [[Assimilation Plot]]: The ELS, who utilize it as their primary means of understanding new objects and concepts.
* [[The Atoner]]: [[The Federation]], especially the soldiers who were members of A-Laws.
* [[Attack Drone]]: All four Gundams have some form of remote weapon, with the Raphael Gundam getting a whole other unit that can itself separate into other [[Attack Drone
** The Gadeleza takes it [[Up to Eleven]] with 14 Large GN Fangs (each the size of a mobile suit and packing their own GN Drive) that carry 10 Small GN Fangs apiece, for a grand total of '''154'''.
* [[Battle Couple]]: Doublelujah and SoMarie.
Line 41 ⟶ 39:
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: An interesting case in that both sides take turns curb-stomping each other. Seriously, it's like watching a game of Pong.
* [[Dead Person Conversation]]: Setsuna was able to "talk" with the original Lockon, Christina and Lichty while in a coma.
* [[Detachment Combat]]: The Raphael and Seravee II, in more ways than one: Seravee can detach its legs to create [[Attack Drone]] [[Wave Motion Gun
* [[Disappears Into Light]]: While it doesn't involve dying, this is what happened to {{spoiler|Setsuna}} and {{spoiler|1=the <nowiki>00 Qan[T]</nowiki>}} after the battle with ELS.
** They do come back though... {{spoiler|50 years later}}.
Line 64 ⟶ 62:
** [[Sixth Ranger]]: Graham Aker ([[And the Fandom Rejoiced|to the delight of many]]), pilot of the [[Lightning Bruiser|Brave Commander Test Type]].
* [[Four-Temperament Ensemble]]: The Gundam Meisters: Setsuna = phlegm, Allelujah = melancholic, Lockon = sanguine, Tieria = choleric, Marie = supine.
** [[The Federation]] [[Ace Pilot
* [[Genius Bruiser]]: [[The Smart Guy|Tieria Erde]] and [[The Big Guy|Lockon Stratos II]] can be classified as such.
* [[Gone Horribly Wrong]]: All initial efforts to communicate with the ELS end up in this fashion.
Line 72 ⟶ 70:
** {{spoiler|Tieria Erde ''again'', but as this is [[Death Is Cheap|Tieria...]]}}
** {{spoiler|Andrei Smirnov}}, thus ''finally'' getting {{spoiler|his}} [[Redemption Equals Death]] for killing {{spoiler|Sergei}}.
* [[Historical Villain Upgrade]]: In-universe, {{spoiler|in the [[
* [[Hollywood Tactics]]: Gloriously averted with the SolBraves. They masterfully display the ability to actually watch each others' backs, use themselves as decoys to draw enemy fire, and behave like a proper squad all around.
* [[Identical Stranger]]: Mina Carmine looks and [[Rie Kugimiya|sounds]] ''a lot'' like Nena Trinity, to say nothing of the similarity in their first names. What the hell's going on here? Well, [[All There in the Manual|according to the novel]] they're actually very distant relatives, with Mina being born naturally while Nena is a clone of Mina's ancestor.
Line 99 ⟶ 97:
** Happens on a mass scale to all the potential Innovators on Earth when the ELS try to communicate with them.
* [[Older and Wiser]]: Saji Crossroad, now a war veteran who has fought against the A-Laws.
* [[One-Man Army]]: All four Gundams and the Gadelaza, thanks to liberal application of [[Attack Drone
* [[Overclocking Attack]]: The preferred method of ESF pilots to avoid assimilation; see [[Explosive Overclocking]] above.
* [[Pet the Dog]]: H/Allelujah and Graham both received this in a meta-sense, given how the two were [[Demoted to Extra|significantly sidelined]] (especially the former) in the series. The two were given good chunks of screen time in this film with the latter even being promoted to the [[Sixth Ranger]] role.
Line 123 ⟶ 121:
** The 00 <nowiki>Qan[T]</nowiki>'s Sword Bits are capable of the same thing, but we never actually get to see it.
* [[Super-Powered Evil Side]]: Harute's Marute Mode, which was ''[[Crazy Awesome|specifically]] [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown|designed]]'' to be used by Hallelujah.
* [[Super Prototype]]: Played with six ways to Sunday: The Zabanya and Harute use the recycled frames of the Cheridum and Arios from season two of the series; the 00 Raiser Repair is just that: the 00 Raiser but without any GN Drives; the Raphael uses technology derived from the Gadessa series, but aside from packing three GN Tau Drives isn't anything new; the GN-XIV and Brave units are limited production models for elite pilots; and the 00 <nowiki>Qan[T]</nowiki> and Gadelaza are actually [[Super Prototype
* [[Take That]]: The [[Show Within a Show]] itself is one to movies and TV shows alike that tend to romanticize the winning side and vilifying the other so much (as Saji pointed out), which are so prevalent in [[Real Life]]. The way the Gundam Meisters are casted also mocks the racial and gender stereotyping in Hollywood (e.g. Tieria the [[Scary Black Man]] and Allelujah the little hot chick). The message of this show, in other words, seems to be, "Tired of the same old Good vs Evil stories? We've got a new one!"
* [[Tempting Fate]]: After Hallelujah escapes ELS controlled trucks by getting on a roof he says "See if you can catch me now!" *cue ELS controlled helicopter*
Line 132 ⟶ 130:
* [[Transforming Mecha]]: Harute, the Braves, and Setsuna's modified Flag. Arguably the Gadelaza as well.
* [[Wave Motion Gun]]: The Gadelaza's "GN Blaster", which can plow though multiple ships in a single shot and was the only ESF weapon capable of stopping the derelict space station.
** Less impressive but also present are the 00 Qan[T]'s GN Buster Rifle and the Raphael's GN Big Cannons. Not to be outdone, Harute can combine its GN Cannons and GN Sword Rifles' outputs to create this effect, and Zabanya's [[Attack Drone
** The Veda particle laser is so powerful that it can shoot a beam straight through a ''Moon sized spaceship''.
* [[Wave Motion Tuning Fork]]: The beam rifles used by the new [[Transforming Mecha|Brave mobile suits]], the Gadelaza's [[Wave Motion Gun]], and the Zabanya’s [[Attack Drone|Rifle Bits]]. The 00 Qan[T] can ''make one'' by attaching its Sword Bits to the GN Sword V, and the Harute can tune it's GN Sword Rifles and GN Cannons together.
