Mobile Suit Gundam 00/Trivia: Difference between revisions

* [[Mythology Gag]]: Oh boy...

** Trans-Am, which turns the machine using it red and increases its output threefold, is clearly a reference to the infamous [[Gundam/Memes|Gundam meme]] about [[Mobile Suit Gundam|Char Aznable's]] red Zaku being three times faster than the normally colored version.

** Ribbons' Gundams contain several gags as an [[Actor Allusion]], since his voice actor also played [[Mobile Suit Gundam|Amuro]] [[Chars Counterattack|Ray]]:

*** The 0 Gundam '''is''' the RX-78-2 Gundam, with clavicle antennae and a GN Drive tacked on. On top of that, the original version is gray, white, and red, which was how [[Yoshiyuki Tomino]] wanted the Gundam to look. Infamously, he was [[Executive Meddling|over-riden by the sponsors]] and forced to make the Gundam more colorful, resulting in the iconic tricolor look...which shows up on the Actual Combat Deployment version of the 0 Gundam<ref>For the curious, Tomino's original color scheme was later adopted as the Gundam's rollout colors, inverting the dynamic that would appear with the 0 Gundam</ref>.

** Seravee's GN Bazooka II is without a doubt a shout out to [[Mobile Suit Gundam Wing|Wing Zero's]] [[Wave Motion Gun|Twin Buster Rifle]].

** The first compilation movie adds a homage to the Deathscythe Hell Custom from ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam Wing|Endless Waltz]]'', courtesy of Dynames.

** The English dub followed suit: Bad [[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED|Yzak]] ([[Michael Adamtwaite]] as Ribbons Almark), Bad [[Mobile Suit Gundam Wing|Duo]] ([[Scott McNeil]] as Ali al-Saachez), Bad [[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny|Meyrin]] ([[Nicole Bouma]] as Nena Trinity), Bad [[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny|Lunamaria]] ([[Maryke Hendrikse]] as Wang Liu Mei), Bad [[Mobile Suit Gundam Wing|Trowa]] ([[Kirby Morrow]] as Billy Katagiri), and Bad (singing) [[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED|Lacus]]/[[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny|Meer]] ([[Jillian Michaels]] as Revive Revival).

*** On the other side of the coin the English version also ''inverts'' the trope, with voice actors of past Gundam antagonists voicing protagonists: Good [[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny|Auel]] ([[Brad Swaile]] as Setsuna F. Seiei), Good [[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED|Shani]] ([[Richard Ian Cox]] as H/Allelujah Haptism) Good [[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED|Azrael]] ([[Andrew Francis]] as Lasse Aeon), and (arguably) Good [[Chars Counterattack|Char]] ([[Michael Kopsa]] as Aeolia Schenberg)

* [[Relationship Voice Actor]]: Many seiyuus from [[Fullmetal Alchemist (anime)|Fullmetal Alchemist]], another anime directed by Seiji Mizushima, reunite in ''00''. Namely, the voices of Edward Elric (Regene Regetta), Alphonse Elric (Nena Trinity), Maes Hughes (Ali al-Saachez), Scar (Bring Stability and Divine Nova), Riza Hawkeye (Shirin Bakhtiar), Jean Havoc (Alejandro Corner), Maria Ross (Revive Revival), Kain Fuery (Andrei Smirnov), Zolf Kimblee (Billy Katagiri), and Lt. Yoki (Aner Rindt).

** In ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood]]'', many seiyuus from ''00'' replaced some of the originals, such as Roy Mustang (Lockon Stratos), Zolf Kimblee (H/Allelujah Haptism), Envy (Kati Mannequin), Vato Falman (Patrick Colasour), Barry the Chopper (Ian Vashti), and Greed (Graham Aker). Some of the seiyuus from the original anime that were also in ''00'' returned but voiced different characters, such as Billy Katagiri (the original Zolf Kimblee now Jean Havoc) and Andrei Smirnov (the original Kain Fuery now Gluttony).
