* [[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 ImmoralImmortal Fourth comes across as more of a [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]] this time around, though still very brash.
** Lt. Allen gets considerable development this time around {{spoiler|in part because he ''doesn't'' die in the Zeon remnants attack on Torrington Base}}. And it's revealed that he has quite a few scores to settle with Zeon, meaning that on missions, he's more focused on exacting revenge than actually achieving the objective.
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: The fact that the Federation academy in the first chapter has no picture of Anavel Gato, implying that no one in the military even knows how he looks likes. Which proves to be a boon when Gato himself slips in to Earth later on with little more than a [[Paper-Thin Disguise]].
* [[I Choose to Stay]]: A villainous example. It's shown in the flashbacks that Delaz and his forces opted to remain in the Earth Sphere instead of joining the other Zeon fleets in fleeing to Axis, welcoming other sympathetic Zeon soldiers to his cause.
* [[Consummate Professional]]: Further emphasised by Gato, who's visibly uncomfortable with his tourist disguise when infiltrating Earth itself. He seems to find it easier to tolerate wearing a Federation uniform by comparison, as much as he detests it.
Line 22 ⟶ 23:
** 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 theMatt FeddieHealy protagonistsand Noel Anderson from the ''Lost War Chronicles'' video game. While another, involving Cima's behind-the-scenes plotting, shows a Zeon remnants raid on the same harbor that would be attacked again 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.
* [[Follow the Leader]]: Of sorts to ''Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin.'' It helps as well that it's written by one of the key figures involved in the original OVAs.
* [[Foregone Conclusion]]: As the manga, like the OVAs, still lead to the events of ''[[Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam]]'', it's a given.
* [[Government Conspiracy]]: There's a lot more to the initial "tests" at Torrington Base and the GP Project in general than meets the eye.
* [[Gundamjack]]: Like the anime, though it happens comparatively later on in the manga's story.
* [[Idiot Ball]]: Invoked by Gato when he manages to slip into Earth as a tourist, noticing how the Earth Federation seems to have grown complacent if the Feddies' immigration checks and military security are that lax.
