Line 12:
* [[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.
* [[Elaborate Underground Base]]: Jaburo, though the manga deconstructs this. Mainly by highlighting how thanks to [[Minovsky Particle]]s' communications-jamming and electronics-scrambling properties
* [[Excuse Plot]]: Averted. What initially seems to be a routine series of data-gathering adventures by the FSS quickly takes a darker and more ominous turn.
* [[The Ghost]]: Johnny Ridden, of sorts to the Federation. Justified in that (in addition to Char constantly overshadowing him), there's little available information to Federation authorities on him.
Line 19:
* [[Jurisdiction Friction]]: The manga also highlights certain tensions within the Earth Federation Forces, which is especially evident if it's between the EFSF's finest and grunts in a backwater outpost on Earth.
* [[Merchandise-Driven]]: Played with. While the manga in general is connected to the ''Mobile Suit Variations R'' series and showcases a number of mecha (as well as model kit) designs, it's generally well-integrated into the plot.
* [[Mildly Military]]: Justified
* [[Multinational Team]]: Of sorts, as the FSS welcomes people from the Republic of Zeon and other space colonies.
* [[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]]: In addition to a number of rogue mercenaries and Federation deserters, the FSS comes across various Zeon Remnants as the story progresses. Eventually, Char's Neo Zeon makes its presence felt as well.
* [[Retired Monster]]: The head of P.M.C. Thermis is sort of this from the Federation's perspective, having served on the opposing side during the OYW {{spoiler|as part of the Chimera Corps, who may know a lot more than he's letting on.}}
* [[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.
