Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Rebellion: Difference between revisions

* [[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 early on; 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.

* [[All Too Easy]]: To a point, anyway. Gato finds it rather strange how military security on Earth seems so lax that he could walk in with relatively little trouble. While Miller, despite the red tape in Jaburo, finds it suspiciously convenient that Torrington Base was being used for an Anaheim Electronics-related test, and with nuclear access to boot. {{spoiler|Given that it ultimately goes back to the figures forging the Titans, it's nigh intentional.}}

* [[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 Fourth, Burning's old team, don't actually meet up with the main protagonists until considerably later on in the story.

** 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 Matt Healy and 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.
