Mobile Fighter G Gundam/YMMV: Difference between revisions

** Allenby with the Domon/Rain shippers and Rain with the Domon/Allenby shippers. The former is [[Fan Dumb|particularly absurd]] given that by time of the finale Allenby becomes [[Shipper on Deck|the biggest in-universe Domon/Rain shipper]].

** Domon, if you ship Rain with George or Chibodee. Because it's not like he has quite the [[Freudian Excuse]] that makes him harsh to everyone, nooooo, he ''has'' to be a drunkard and evil [[Domestic Abuser]]...

* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]:

** Hans Holgar from Neo Denmark. He's got a fish-shaped Gundam, but his [[The Smart Guy|smarts]] and [[Mr. Fanservice|and VERY good looks]] have given him a special place in the fans's hearts

** {{spoiler|The tone of the series and the conversation between Chairman Karato and Dr. Kasshu in the finale seems to strongly imply that they will devise a way to make the system less destructive, especially since Dr. Kasshu himself is now free to have another try at creating something that can restore Earth. And that won't decide to [[Kill All Humans]] if it gets a little dinged up on landing}}.

* [[Fashion Victim Villain]]: Michelo, replete with [[Color-Coded for Your Convenience|dark colors]] and [[Spikes of Villainy]].

* [[Fountain of Memes]]: Goes hand-in-hand with being an [[Oddball in the Series]] that runs on [[Narm Charm]].

* [[Ham and Cheese]]: My God, this anime is a mile-high ham and cheese sandwich with the works. And it's glorious. Perhaps even more so with the English dub.

* [[Vindicated by History]]: It was the first alternate universe ''Gundam'' series, and to this day is the biggest departure from the usual ''Gundam'' fare (barring ''SD Gundam'' works), and at the time of its release was very divisive for those reasons. As time went on, it has become one of the most unilaterally beloved ''Gundam'' series.

* [[What an Idiot!]]: Chibodee develops a new technique in the Guyana Highlands that he's sure will beat Domon in their final match? Instead of keeping this to himself, he takes the time to use it against Domon before the match, giving Domon time to develop a counter specifically for that technique.

* [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made on Drugs?]]: Some of the Gundam designs are freaking ''surreal''. The director himself said that he was ''giggling'' while giving a few of them to the animators (at least the Skull and Ashura Gundams have a legitimate excuse: they were sent in by kids in a viewer contest).

* [[What Measure Is a Non-Badass?]]: Rain had the misfortune of {{spoiler|falling in love with Domon at the end of the series}}. Cue the cries of "Rain lost coolness because of that" from the [[Fan Dumb]]. Let's not forget that the [[Fan Dumb]] consider Rain "inferior" to Allenby due to being more [[Yamato Nadeshiko|traditionally feminine]] than she is ''and'' for being the [[Ms. Fanservice]], [[The Dutiful Son|ignoring]] [[Tsundere|her]] [[Silk Hiding Steel|multifaceted]] [[Sins of Our Fathers|personality]]. Not to mention, Rain fully demonstrated that just because she doesn't like to fight doesn't mean she's not good at it, especially after piloting the Rising Gundam to rescue Allenby from DG Cell takeover.

** Chibodee's nicknames for the other fighters are changed from national adjectives, to simply the names of their countries (e.g. he says things like "hey, Neo-Japan" rather than "hey, Japanese").

** Also, the song that Rain and Chibodee's crew sings when he fights Romario. In Japanese, it's the end credits song. In English? ''AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL''.
