Line 26:
* [[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.
* [[Big "What?"]]: Gato, just like in the OVAs, is stunned by how green Kou is.
{{quote|"I'm the ''enemy,'' you idiot!"}}
* [[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.
Line 39 ⟶ 41:
* [[Noble Demon]]: Anavel Gato, with the manga giving more attention to this side of him. Also, Delaz is revealed to be this as well, given his sincere, borderline fanatical loyalty to Zeon and Gihren Zabi.
* [[Paper-Thin Disguise]]: Gato manages to arrive on Earth disguised as a tourist...which is basically him wearing a beach shirt and [[Lennon Specs]] with his hair down. When he slips into Torrington Base to [[Gundamjack]] GP-02, he doesn't even bother hiding his appearance other than grudgingly wearing a Federation officer's uniform. It's justified however, given how it's established that no one in the Federation really knew ''what'' the "Nightmare of Solomon" looked like in the first place.
* [[Playing Both Sides]]: The manga makes it evident that Cima is attempting to play both the Delaz Fleet and Federation forces to her own ends.
* [[The Remnant]]: Delaz's fleet is mentioned as being the most powerful of the Zeon remnants in the Earth Sphere by UC 0083. Gato in particular rendezvous with a Zeon submarine crew at one point who've been stranded on Earth and in hiding.
* [[Retcon]]: Inevitable, given the nature of the retelling. The most significant being the redesigns for the GP-01 and GP-02, which while still very recognizable look decidedly more updated. It also makes it clear that {{spoiler|the reason Nina doesn't recognize Gato from the get-go is because his back's turned to her.}}
Line 47 ⟶ 50:
** [[Scenery Gorn]]: Said Australian coast also happens to be the site of [[Mobile Suit Gundam|Operation]] [[Colony Drop|British]]. Not to mention scenes showing bombed-out warzones on Earth and space left over from the One Year War.
* [[Serial Escalation]]: The battles in and around Torrington Base following Gato's [[Gundamjack]] are decidedly more massive, destructive and bloodier than in the OVA.
* [[Stealth Sequel]]: In addition to being a midquel between the OYW and ''Zeta'', the manga also seems at points to come across as this to ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam The 08th MS Team]]''. It's also something of a [[Spiritual Successor]] to ''[[Gundam Legacy]]'' given the "Soldiers' Day" vignettes featuring other characters.
* [[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]].
* [[War Is Hell]]: Kou and Keith, who previously expressed their luck in not having fought in the OYW, get a first-hand experience of what war's like when Torrington Base is attacked.
