Line 23:
** As it turns out, the Destiny's design was recycled from the original design for the Freedom, which was meant to have the same concept but proved too difficult to animate at the time. This explains why [[Fridge Brilliance|it looks like it combines all of the Strike's Striker Packs instead of the Impulse's Silhouette Packs]].
* [[An Axe to Grind]]: The beam tomahawks used by ZAKUs, as benefits their [[Expy]] nature to the [[Mobile Suit Gundam|original]] Zaku and their heathawks.
* [[Animation Bump]]: Notable because it happens frequently in several episodes where the animation is not at its best, they'll just always manage to save the best for certain scenes. Episode 32 is a good example, as the episode itself contains pretty good animation that suddenly goes up to excellent quality during the [[Hope Spot]] and the scene where {{spoiler|Stella dies}}.
* [[Arranged Marriage]]: Yuna and Cagalli.
* [[Ascended Fanboy|Ascended Fangirl]]: Lunamaria Hawke, when she finally gets the chance to pilot Mobile Suits alongside her idol Athrun.
Line 30:
* [[Beam Spam]]: If you thought Freedom was the master of this, just wait until you see [[Mid-Season Upgrade|Strike Freedom]]. Also, in order: Destroy, Legend, Infinite Justice (with or without the METEOR), Abyss, Blast Impulse, and Yzak's Slash ZAKU Phantom.
* [[Berserk Button]]: Played straight with Shinn, and to a more subdued degree by Kira, when the ladies in their lives are threatened.
* [[Big Bad Ensemble]]: [[Complete Monster|Djibril]] and [[Manipulative Bastard|Durandal]] are on opposite sides of the war, utterly loathe one another, and both need to go in order for the story to end well. Which of them is the more dangerous (and whether Durandal is using Djibril or not) is a matter that's open for debate.
* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: Kira is the king of this trope. {{spoiler|Especially after he gets the Strike Freedom.}}
* [[Big No]]: Athrun's agonized cry when {{spoiler|Kira is apparently killed in his climactic duel with Shinn}}. The English version is especially gut-wrenching.
Line 59:
* [[Dead Star Walking]]: T.M. Revolution voices Heine Westenfluss, who dies rather quickly; his Miguel Aiman character did the same in ''[[Gundam Seed]]''. This actually becomes a running gag, since Miguel was said to have had a Orange GINN. Guess what color Heine's GOUF was?
* [[Demoted to Extra]]: Fan favorites Yzak Joule and Dearka Elsman. Former secondary characters and Gundam pilots are reduced to piloting [[Elite Mook]] units and are only given limited roles.
** [[Beam Spam|Blast Impulse Gundam]], despite is 1 of the main Mobile Suit.
* [[Easily Forgiven]]: The Orb/Clyne Faction seems to forgive and allow to join anyone so long as they are sorry for fighting against them. Then again with the "cycle of hatred" being a major theme, this makes a certain amount of sense.
* [[Evil Is Bigger]]: The Earth Federation, and Blue Cosmos in particular, have a fixation on giant mobile armours, with the Destroy being the most obvious example of this.
Line 81:
* [[Gainaxing]]: Mostly Meer, but several other female characters have that "bounce", too.
* [[Go Out with a Smile]]: {{spoiler|Stellar's heartbreakingly adorable "I love you, Shinn" before she dies}}.
* [[Good
<!-- %% -->
<!-- %% No Hatedom entry, please. It has its own page and it is not a trope. -->
Line 109:
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: Athrun was ostensibly meant to be [[The Mentor]] to Shinn, but most of his interaction consists of punching him or calling him an idiot; not once did Athrun give Shinn any form of positive reinforcement or encouragement. Perhaps if he had, the poor kid could have gotten some '''positive''' [[Character Development]]...
* [[Nice Job Fixing It, Villain]]: Nice job getting Kira to come out of retirement after {{spoiler|a failed assassination attempt on his girlfriend}}, Durandal.
* [[NGO Superpower]]: Despite getting it's butt kicked in the previous series, Blue Cosmos remains a dangerous and influential threat. LOGOS is also this {{spoiler|considering that Blue Cosmos was merely a catspaw for them}}.
* [[No One Could Survive That]]: {{spoiler|Kira and the Freedom's explosion and Athrun and Meyrin when their GOUF was totaled by Shinn}}.
* [[Nuke'Em]]: The Earth Forces' try to do this to ZAFT again.
Line 122:
* [[Precision F-Strike]]: In the English dub, Lunamaria says "[[Oh Crap|Oh fuck]]" upon being told that they're going to have to fight underwater, where her [[Weapon of Choice]] beam cannon is no good.
** Also, in Phase 12, as well as the first TV Movie, Shinn says, "Aww, shit!" when a Zamza-Zah grabs Impulse's leg. You can see it [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2ZpTzmNnik here].
* [[Praetorian Guard]]: FAITH (Fast Acting Integrated Tactical Headquarters), a ZAFT elite force that only answers to Durandal, and which many of the protagonists are members. While they're not the Chairman's bodyguards full-time, they do end up protecting him during the Armory One attack, and serving him during the Battle of Messiah.
* [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]]: Phantom Pain.
* [[Reality Is Unrealistic]]: It's really ''not'' that uncommon for people to keep things like answering machine messages and old family videos featuring people that have died. When Shinn does it, he's viewed as a sick freak by his [[Hate Dumb]].
Line 131:
* [[Take a Third Option]]: The leftover members of the Three Ship Alliance take this route when they determine that both ZAFT and ORB are heading towards less than ideal futures.
* [[Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right]]: In one battle, Shinn breaks off combat in order to free civilian prisoners of the Alliance; when Athrun administers [[Corporal Punishment]] afterwards, Shinn responds with this trope.
* [[Ship Sinking]]:
** Athrun/Cagalli, much to the rage of many a rabid shipper (with the rage being greatly enhanced by unconfirmed rumors that it happened due to the writers not getting along with Cagalli's voice actress, [[Naomi Shindo]]).
** Athrun/Meyrin, due to the rumor of Athrun labeling her as his little sister in the CD dramas.
