Line 7:
{{tropelist}}
* [[Adaptation Expansion]]: The manga not only does this to the 1979 anime but reinterprets many of the events and key figures in the One Year War.
* [[Ascended Extra]]:
** The female cadet officer who attempts to stall Dozle Zabi during Garma's raid is revealed to be Zenna Zabi, who's generally been given a larger role compared to the original series.
** Crowley Hamon, while a well-developed character in her own right has a considerably larger role this time around.
* [[Age Lift]]: Compared to the original, Mirai Yashima is portrayed as being four years older.
* [[Alternate Calendar]]: The Universal Century, of course.
* [[Alternate Continuity]]/[[Broad Strokes]]: The events of ''The Origin'' retell many of the same general plot points as the original show, but several differences abound. Indeed, a number of key events in both the plot and One Year War are even switched about.
* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: Earth Federation texts tend to be shown in the official languages of the United Nations. Meanwhile, anything involving Zeon or Side 3 feature a substantial presence of German and Japanese text, driving home the parallels to the Axis Powers.
* [[Colony Drop]]: Operation British, which the manga reveals killed ''50% of the Earth's population'', whether from the actual drop in Australia or the ensuing aftermath.
* [[Continuity Nod]]: Both the manga and OVAs contain several to the Universal Century. The soundtrack for the OVAs in particular not only include elements of the 1979 anime but also remastered versions of those original tracks.
* [[Corrupt the Cutie]]: Garma in the flashbacks is shown undergoing this, all in an attempt to make himself a "true" Zabi man. Which is lampshaded by Degwin, Dozle and Kycilia (to their concern). Though compared to most of the other Zabis, Garma is ''still'' the more innocent one.
* [[Crapsack World]]: This ''is'' a Universal Century work, so this is ever present.
* [[Darker and Edgier]]: Decidedly so compared to the original 1979 series.
Line 22 ⟶ 28:
* [[Gone Horribly Right]]: {{spoiler|Professor Minovsky}} realizes at one point that not only is his research being taken seriously, but that Zeon has gone even further than even he expected, to his mounting horror. {{spoiler|Which motivates his attempt to defect to the Federation, and die in the process.}}
* [[Grey and Gray Morality]]: While there are definitely villains and good characters on both sides, the war isn't as clear-cut as it seems.
* [[Guest Strip]]: The manga features guest commentary, including the likes of [[CLAMP]].
* [[The Gump]]: The flashback arc reveals that Char was involved in (if not instigating) a number of events that eventually culminated in the One Year War.
* [[History Repeats]]: There are quite a few historical parallels present, which are especially evident in the rise of the Principality of Zeon.
* [[How We Got Here]]: ''The Origin'' puts greater emphasis on events leading up to and during the One Year War.
* [[Paper-Thin Disguise]]
* [[Knight Templar]]: Zeon Deikun himself is portrayed as this, being more unhinged and fanatical rather than the saintly image he's previously seen as. Though it's left open as to whether he's always been like this or as a result of poisoning.
* [[Lighter and Softer]]:
