'''MSV-R:The Return of Johnny Ridden''' (機動戦士ガンダム MSV-R ジョニー・ライデンの帰還, ''Gundam MSV-R - Johnny Raiden no Kikan?'') is a manga by Ark Performance first serialized in ''Gundam Ace'' on April, 2010. The theme, setting, and mechanics are interlocked with the MSV-R (2009) design series project.
 
In U.C. 0090, three members of the Federation Survey Service; Rimia Greenwood, Led Wayline and Ashley Brown Brandon are charged with collecting data on various mobile suits, prototypes and wonderweapons that will bring the dark parts of the end of the One Year War to light. Among their subjects of interest are [[Mobile Suit Gundam|Kycilia Zabi]]'s ace pilot-only Chimera Corps, and the Zeon ace pilot Johnny Ridden.
Line 7:
* [[Badass Normal]]: The Chimera Corps was very much this by design. As Kycilia wanted a force capable of handily confronting Newtypes in battle.
* [[Continuity Nod]]: To various UC works. And as the story progresses, ''[[Char's Counterattack]]''.
* [[Dude, Where's My Respect?]]: Subverted with Johnny Ridden. While he was very much respected in his prime, he always [[Always Second Best|seemed to be overshadowed]] by the Red Comet himself, Char Aznable.
* [[The Dreaded]]: "Vasuki," the Federation ace in charge of Task Force "Knight Yeager," has this air about him. {{spoiler|He's revealed to be [[Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam|Yazan Gable]].}}
* [[Eighties Hair]]: Many of the characters have these as well as a bit of '90s hair, being consistent with the rest of UC.
Line 19:
* [[Posthumous Character]]: Kycilia Zabi by this point has been dead for over 10 years, but her presence continues to loom heavily over the plot.
* [[Private Military Contractors]]: They're revealed to still exist in the Universal Century. Among the more notable ones being P.M.C. Themis, comprised of ex-EFSF, ex-Zeon and even ex-Titans personnel {{spoiler|and run by a member of the Chimera Corps who may know more than he lets on}}.
* [[The Remnant]]: TheIn FSSaddition come acrossto a number of Zeonrogue Remnantmercenaries groupsand Federation deserters, the FSS come across various Zeon Remnants as the story progresses. Eventually, Char's Neo Zeon makes its presence felt as well.
* [[Subordinate Excuse]]: It's strongly implied that Kycilia and Johnny were in love with each other.
* [[Super Prototype]]/[[Flawed Prototype]]: Tracking down these, which include one-off, limited production and heavily customized mobile suit models, is part of the FSS' job.
* [[The Untwist]]: It's all but stated outright that Led Wayline {{spoiler|''is'' an amnesiac Johnny Ridden}}.
