Line 8:
* [[Adaptation Expansion]]: The manga expands significantly on the OVAs, especially with regards to characterizations, backstory and other details. In fact, a major difference from the anime is how the story begins on New Years Eve UC 0082, the first chapter largely following Kou Uraki's time in the academy.
** The manga not only expands significantly on the battle that ensues in and around Torrington Base, but also covers the journey from Australia to Africa in more detail, which was largely handwaved in the OVAs.
* [[Broad Strokes]]: The overall plot is broadly still the same. The devil however, is in the details. Among the more significant ones being the encounter between Cima's fleet and the ''Albion'' as well as how the Immortal 4th MS TeamFourth, Burning's old team, don't actually meet up with the main protagonists until considerably later on in the story.
* [[Characterisation Marches On]]:
* [[Characterisation Marches On]]:* Kou is noticeably book smart this time around, further highlighting his [[Indy Ploy]] tendencies as in the anime. {{spoiler|Especially given how he's able to deduce the functions of GP-01 and GP-02 just by looking at them for a bit.}} His hatred for carrots is still very much the same, though.
** Lt. Monsha of the Immoral Fourth comes across as more of a [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]] this time around, though still very brash.
* [[Continuity Nod]]:
** Gato is shown using a customized Zaku II previously introduced in the MSV-R series.
Line 15 ⟶ 17:
** The ''Albion'' is shown flying over a massive crater near Torrington Base, marking where Operation British hit Australia.
** One of Nina Purpleton's colleagues in Anaheim Electronics is shown making a suspicious comment about working on the ''La Vie En Rose.''
** Alice Miller from ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam The 08th MS Team]]''<ref>The same one who interrogated Shiro Amada in ''The 08th MS Team: Miller's Report''.</ref> makes an appearance, as she's sent to the ''Albion'' by the Intelligence Bureau to investigate the incident in Torrington Base and the GP Project. {{spoiler|Sanders, one of the surviving 08th MS Team members, also shows up by the time the ''Albion'' reaches Africa.}}
** One of the "Soldiers' Day" sidestories features the Feddie protagonists from the ''Lost War Chronicles'' video game. While another, involving Cima's behind-the-scenes plotting, shows a Zeon remnants attack on the same harbor that would be attacked several years later in ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn]].''
* [[Darker and Edgier]]: To a degree. The initial attack on Torrington Base, is shown in more destructive and graphic detail than the OVA.
* [[Determinator]]: Kou Uraki, even as a cadet, is shown for the get-go as ''very'' eager to become a mobile suit pilot.
Line 37 ⟶ 40:
* [[Serial Escalation]]: The battles in and around Torrington Base following Gato's [[Gundamjack]] are decidedly more massive, destructive and bloodier than in the OVA.
* [[Tempting Fate]]: Kou, Keith and several other Feddie characters are shown in the early chapters expressing relief that the war's long over [[Ironic Echo|and that nothing could possibly go wrong]].
* [[What the Hell Hero]]: Miller at one point furiously snaps at Nina, demanding why she's toeing Anaheim Electronics' line and whether she really aware of what mobile suits are for.
