Line 10:
** The unnamed Byalant Kai pilot in episode 4.
*** He ''is'' named — [[All There in the Manual|it's Robin Diez]].
* [[Foe Yay]]: Let's just say Banagher sure looks fascinating for [http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ifjLUPauDLe5sM:http://i528.photobucket.com/albums/dd328/ZeonsSilverStar/1229633.jpg&t=1 Full Fr]{{Dead link}}ontal] and Marida.
* [[Hell Is That Noise]]: More unsettling than jarring, but '[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmNBaG36T0A&feature=related Marida]' is ''seriously'' uncomfortable listening.
** "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VA4DQani_w0 MARTHA]" is no slouch in this department.
Line 17:
* [[Narm]]: Okay... seriously, Full Frontal?
** The name, though extremely narmy, likely has some kind of ironic and fairly witty symbolism. Full Frontal implies being "bare naked" or "fully exposed" ([[Male Frontal Nudity|*COUGH*]] ...Which really doesn't help the Narm factor) while in reality the character wears a mask and is very mysterious.
** Also, Full Frontal, "full frontal assault,"<ref>[[Full-Frontal Assault|...Not that dammit]]</ref> as in a full-on, all-out assault, so it also doubles as a shout out to the missing-in-action Char Aznable's combat style.
** On the other hand, he ''is'' aping a guy who spent a couple years going by the name Quattro <ref>Vagina</ref> Bajeena.
** Let's face it, ''Gundam'' has a history of...[[Aerith and Bob|eccentric naming conventions]]. You could really mistake some of them for names of ''[[Star Wars]]'' characters.
Line 40:
** [[Your Mileage May Vary|Though some have snarkily suggested]] that this is solely due to it being a Universal Century work, and that [[Double Standard|were it set in a different continuity those same fans would be railing against it]].
* [[The Woobie]]: Marida Cruz needs so many hugs. ''So many hugs''. [[Hates Being Touched|Assuming, of course, that she's OK with that.]]
* [[WTH?What the Hell, Casting Agency?]]: Not casting exactly, but the fact an avowed Japanese Imperialist author like Fukui is writing the novels is rather odd considering the blatant anti-war & anti-Axis themes of previous UC series. For perspective, it's a bit like having a sequel to ''[[Maus]]'' written by the guy who did ''[[The Turner Diaries]]''.
** Not a ''full'' WTH, but fans were rather confused when it was discovered that [[Chieko Honda]] would '''not''' be voicing Marida Cruz, despite the fact that 1) she played {{spoiler|both Purus in ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ|Gundam ZZ]]''}}, and 2) she's still doing voice acting.
*** The fact that {{spoiler|the Puru clone in question is now an adult and thus have a somewhat different voice}} may have something to do with it.
