Line 1:
{{work}}
* [[Alas, Poor Villain]]: Several characters in the Zanscare side get these. Good examples are {{spoiler|the kind-hearted pilot that Usso killed in battle and deeply regretted it}}, {{spoiler|the [[Star
** Arguably {{spoiler| Chronicle and Katejina get this too.}}
* [[Americans Hate Tingle]]: Despite being widely despised by most Western viewers for [[
* [[CompleteMonster]]: While the likes of Chronicle, Katejina, and Tassilo are real pieces of work, only BigBad Fonze Kagatie himself is worthy of this title. He is truly depraved, devoid of any positive or altruistic qualities. His ultimate goal was planetary genocide so that he could control all life that remained afterwards, and he stepped on as many innocent lives as it took to accomplish this.▼
* [[Broken Base]]: This is one of the more divisive and polarizing series' in not just the UCverse, but in the entire ''Gundam'' franchise. Some people like it just fine, but others ''really'' hate it, deeming it one of the worst ''Gundam'' shows ever made.
▲* [[
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: The two openings -- [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lrp7RO7Mtk "Stand Up to the Victory"] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=is7A_htB54g "Don't Stop! Carry On!"] -- are some of the best of the franchise, despite how much they basically lie about the mood of the show.
* [[Fashion Victim Villain]]: Fuala wearing ''cat bells'' as earrings alongside a [[Pink Means Feminine|pink]] pilot suit.
Line 10 ⟶ 12:
**** Actually, there are people who ''do'' know such details -- and yet they still find it funny, or at least very distracting. [[Values Dissonance|It's like knowing about English judges using wigs while at work, but being weirded out at the sight.]]
* [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]]: an old man in ep. 12 mistakes Uso for someone called 'Nicol' - who's one of the youngest characters in [[Gundam Seed]] {{spoiler|and the first to fall prey to [[Anyone Can Die]].}}
** Let's not forget episode 15, with the two kids stowing away on the shuttle and taking photos of a faked [[The War
* [[Iron Woobie]]: The most incredible thing about Uso as a character is that he didn't snap despite the numerous, brutal deaths that happen around him and their consequences.
* [[Jerkass Woobie]]: Chronicle Asher and Katejina Loos have some rare moments of sympathy, as opposed to Tassilo or Kagatie, who do not.
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: Tassilo Vargo is either this or a very highly-functional [[Smug Snake]].
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: Nearly all of Katejina's actions after her [[Face Heel Turn]], Arbeo's actions that end up [[spoiler|costing Usso's mother her life]], Tassilo [[spoiler|killing Queen Maria]], and Kagatie's entire plan with Angel Halo.
* [[Narm]]: ''[http://i876.photobucket.com/albums/ab330/Enchanter468/VGundamCrotchShot.jpg This].''
** Katejina deciding to sicc some bikini-clad assassins on Uso ''while he is in his Gundam'' made very little sense, and quickly proved utterly pointless.
Line 19 ⟶ 23:
** The Zanscare military meetings become freaking ridiculous when you see [[Fashion Victim Villain|either grunts or commanders wearing old-fashioned wigs]]. We know, it's [[The Empire]], but '''what the Hell'''.
*** Note that even today those types of wigs are used in Britain by judges, so it's not completely outlandish.
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: Deaths in this series are not only [[Tear Jerker|sad]] [[Kill
** The mere concept of {{spoiler|the '''''massive''''' [[Mind Rape]]}} device known as the "Angel Halo" is freaking terrifying. Think of it... First of all, there is absolutely no reason for the military not to use it since it produces no collateral damage, cannot be defended against and there is no chance of a mutually assured destruction scenario as with colony drops or nuclear weapons (in other words, the perfect weapon). Second, consider the terrible positions of everyone involved on the Halo itself -- highlight, read, and have ''''sweet dreams''':
*** Are you one of the "physickers" working on it? {{spoiler|Enjoy being put [[Convenient Coma|in a constant trance]], [[Girl in
*** Are you [[Barrier Maiden|the Newtype directing it]]? {{spoiler|You'll be responsible for massively mindraping either one person or ''everyone on earth'' while "feeding" on the powers of 20.000 "physickers". Oh, and if they die, your empathic powers will make you ''feel these psychickers's pain and deaths'', even if you're passed out due to the strain of merely being the Halo core ([[The Woobie|Poor Shakti.]]) And we're not counting [[Break the Cutie|all of the psychological damage]] you could sustain as well...}}
*** Are you the target of the Halo? {{spoiler|You'll either be forced to relive your worst and best memories to screw up with your psyche, and then will be [[Stupidity
* [[Purity Sue]]: Deconstructed horribly. Queen Maria is kind, gentle, naive, a powerful healer and newtype... and a total puppet of [[The Empire]] behind her, which causes her lots of pain and drives a good part of the plot.
* [[The Scrappy]]: Katejina
** [[Love to Hate]]: .........on the other hand, Katejina is also one of the most memorable Gundam villains because of her evilness, and has quite a few fans in Japan and on 4chan's /m/ board.
* [[Tear Jerker]]: ''Lots'', but the most poignant one is probably the one where all the old guys take over the crippled Reinforce Jr. and use it to ram the enemy flagship.
* [[True Art Is Angsty]]
* [[Unfortunate Implications]]: Anything regarding The "Bikini Babe Assault". Half naked girls trying to kill Uso using their nudity to distract him, but they are all easily killed by his Gundam... Uh, yeah, nothing to see here!
