Line 9:
* [[The Call Knows Where You Live]]: The FSS increasingly finds itself in the midst of some wider event. And for Led Wayline in particular, he begins suspecting that someone out there is trying to use him to get to Johnny Ridden. {{spoiler|Especially when Wayline ''is'' Ridden.}}
* [[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 20:
* [[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 in that the FSS, while also having access to mobile suits, is not a formal military unit.
* [[Modern Major-General]]/[[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: [[Mobile Suit Gundam|Admiral Gopp]], though he's technically retired from the military, is a sympathetic take. He's far more familiar with [[Realpolitik]] and backroom dealings, even ingratiating himself with the Titans before quietly abandoning them. This would serve him well as Congress Chairman, though it's revealed that [[I Did What I Had to Do|he only did what had to be done]] not only for self-preservation. But also to help ensure that the Federation stayed stable and that Revil's dreams didn't die with him.
* [[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.
Line 25 ⟶ 26:
* [[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.}}
* [[Spanner in the Works]]: {{spoiler|Char Aznable himself, upon learning of the conspiracy and the Chimera Corps' plans. With the intent of using those old grudges to his advantage.}}
* [[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.
