Line 2:
* [[Anticlimax Boss]]: The fight between Banagher and Loni was somewhat underwhelming for some fans.
* [[Alas, Poor Villain]]: Seeing as how this is a Gundam series, this is a common trope since villains tend to be on the sympathetic or tragic side. One notable example, though, is {{spoiler|Loni}}.

* [[Complete Monster]]: Martha Vist Carbine, who will use anyone from teenage girls and family members as political tools... and [[Mind Rape|not]] [[Blackmail Is Such an Ugly Word|in]] [[Manipulative Bastard|a]] [[Brainwashed and Crazy|nice]] [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness|way]], either. She's pretty much the only villain so far presented without the slightest hint of sympathy (excluding Frontal, who's just too inscrutable).
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: ''Gundam Unicorn'''s score is probably the most intensely cinematic of any ''Gundam'' series, OVA, or movie so far, which says quite a bit when you consider that past composers include [[Yoko Kanno]], Toshihiko Sahashi and Kenji Kawai.
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,"
** 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 26:
** Banagher's vision of {{spoiler|Marida's past}}.
** {{spoiler|Daguza}} and {{spoiler|Gilboa's}} [[Heroic Sacrifice|Heroic Sacrifices]].
{{quote|
{{spoiler|'''Gilboa'''}}: {{spoiler|Tikva}}... Just look after the family for me... }}
** {{spoiler|Cardeas'}} death.

** Two instances in episode 5:
*** Zinnerman {{spoiler|trying to get Marida to remember who she is, and revealing that he considered her a surrogate daughter. He then breaks down saying that he doesn't want to lose his daughter and be alone again.}}
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.]]
* [[
** 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.
**** Though it's not like she hasn't voiced older women in Gundam [[After War Gundam X|before]].
** The same thing happened for {{spoiler|Mineva/Audrey}}'s VA in ''[[Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam|Zeta Gundam]]'' ([[Miki Ito]]), though this is rather because of scheduling conflicts and the fact that female leads in Gundam are usually voiced by seiyu no more than 30 years of age (the female leads of the [[Mobile Suit Gundam|original Gundam]], ''[[After War Gundam X]]'', and ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team]]'' are the exceptions). Still, many fans rather preferred [[Miki Ito]] to play {{spoiler|Audrey}}.
