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 Crossed Lovers]] Karinga and Kisharl who end up ''killing each other''}}, and {{spoiler|the [[Battle Couple]] of [[Biker Babe|Renda]] and [[Badass Biker|Duker]]... who mix this with [[So Cool Its Awesome]], as [[Together in Death|their souls are seen riding together in a Harley towards the afterlife]].}}
* [[Americans Hate Tingle]]: Despite being widely despised by most Western viewers for [[Complete Monster|what she is]], Katejina seems to have a significant fanbase in Japan. She got into 17th place for female characters in Newtype Magazine's female characters poll. Also, [[Super Robot Wars]] titles that featured "Victory" tend to make her look a little bit more sympathetic (regaining her moral codes near the end of her life, before she's killed off, or being outright [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]), or just make her do [[Heel Face Turn]] as in [[Super Robot Wars Destiny]] (not [[Becoming the Mask]] completely in time). She's also usually the top candidate of representative of ''Victory'' other than Usso in other Gundam spinoffs like the [[Gundam vs. Series]] or [[Dynasty Warriors Gundam]] 2)
* [[Complete Monster]]: Katejina Loos is the queen of evil in the Gundam franchise. For a franchise that hosts monstrous villains like [[Zeta Gundam|Yazan Gable]], [[Gundam Seed|Muruta Azrael]], [[Gundam 00|Ali Al-Saachez]], and [[Gundam AGE|Desil Galette]] (Who's arguably a King of Evil in his own right for the franchise), that is '''really''' saying something. The [[Big Bad]], Prime Minister Kagatie is just as bad.
** [[Draco in Leather Pants]]: Modern era, however, tends to lessen down her atrocities. She seems to be popular in Japan and is still garnering lots of fanarts. Also note that she has a small (but vocal) fanbase in 4chan.
*** This is largely due to [[Critical Backlash]] The only thing you're likely to hear about Katejina is how evil she is, which really ups the chances of someone finally watching ''Victory'' after having watched other animes (including ''Gundam'' ones) with worse monsters and going "Well, compared to '''others''', she's not '''that''' bad."
* [[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 24 ⟶ 27:
*** 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 Inducing Attack|reduced to an infantile state of mind and go off to die]], [[A Fate Worse Than Death|completely unable to take care of yourself.]].}} All due to the Halo's power and the Zanscare Empire behind it.
* [[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.
