Line 10:
{{tropelist}}
* [[Actor Allusion]]: The classic Mobile Suits that the Sangokuden characters are based on are sometimes referred to as 'actors', allowing for a whole pile of these to slip through.
** Sousou will be voiced by Kenji Nomura, who has a record of voicing Magnificent Bastards ([[300|the Persian messenger]] and [[DCAU|Lex Luthor]])
* [[Affirmative Action Girl]]: Sonshoukou Gerbera.
Line 17:
* [[Animated Adaptation]]: In the form of [[The Movie]], double-billed with the fifth ''[[Keroro Gunsou]]'' movie.
** This troper will die happy if it turns out half as good as [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tcNzVH3Q-E this.]
** And now an animated series following [[The Movie]] (in 15-minute episodes) is now on air.
* [[The Berserker]]: Bachou Blue Destiny, Shukuyuu Gundam.
* [[Bifurcated Weapon]] and [[Swiss Army Weapon]]: Just about all of the characters (or at least their kits) have one or both.
Line 45:
*** For that matter, Kan-U has several elements from both ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ|Gundam ZZ]]'' ''and'' the Musha ZZ Gundam.
* [[Fan Nickname]]: An early group of antagonists, pirates based on the Hydra Gundam, Leo-R and Aesculapius have been dubbed the "[[Mobile Suit Gundam Wing|G-Unit Pirates]]". Also the series as a whole has the nickname ''SD Gundam [[Dynasty Warriors]]''.
* [[The Four Gods]]: As symbols and motifs for the different factions instead of actual characters.▼
** Seiryu, in blue, represents the kingdom of Shou and Ryuubi Gundam.▼
** Suzaku, in red, represents the kingdom of Giga and Sousou Gundam.▼
** Byakko, in yellow rather than white, represents the kingdom of Gou and Sonken Gundam.▼
** Genbu, in purple rather than black, represents Toutaku Zaku's unnamed forces (though their flag carries the ''kanji'' for his name. And the soldiers are all in green for some reason.)▼
* [[Five-Bad Band]]: The Five Giga Generals:
** Kakouton Giros ([[The Dragon]])
Line 63 ⟶ 58:
** Kochu Gundam ([[The Smart Guy]])
*** Incidentally, both five-man bands function as [[The Lancer]] to Ryubi and [[The Dragon]] to Sousou as a whole.
▲* [[The Four Gods]]: As symbols and motifs for the different factions instead of actual characters.
▲** Seiryu, in blue, represents the kingdom of Shou and Ryuubi Gundam.
▲** Suzaku, in red, represents the kingdom of Giga and Sousou Gundam.
▲** Byakko, in yellow rather than white, represents the kingdom of Gou and Sonken Gundam.
▲** Genbu, in purple rather than black, represents Toutaku Zaku's unnamed forces (though their flag carries the ''kanji'' for his name. And the soldiers are all in green for some reason.)
* [[Four Is Death]]: The Nanban Four Kings, based on the Walter, Grand, Heavens Sword and Master Gundams from G Gundam.
** Going by the factions themselves we have Shou = Ego, Gou = Superego and Giga = Id.▼
* [[Fridge Brilliance]]: The use of 'style names' from ''Three Kingdoms'' has been discreetly lampshaded - there's an overabundance of characters that simply have 'Gundam' tagged behind their proper names, but fans of the franchise will be able to identify them as Sonken ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory|GP03 ]]'', Sousou ''[[After War Gundam X|Double X]]'', Kochu ''RX-178'' and so on. Just as 'style names' were intended.
** And sometimes it works out a little too well: Huang Gai Gongfu is now Kougai ''Gouf''.
Line 71 ⟶ 73:
** Casting all civilians (in both genders even) and Butaihei soldiers as the same RGM-79 archetype becomes a little less egregious when you realise that this is exactly how Butaihei soldiers are supposed to come about; by drafting civilians into (presumably) co-ed armed forces.
** From the ''Gaiden'' sidestory, the [[Insufferable Genius]] Bashoku Gundam is a remold of the Strike Gundam from the equally polarizing ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED|Gundam SEED]].''
* [[Gratuitous English]]: the anime trades the ''Fuun Gekitotsu'' etc. subtitle for "Brave Battle Warriors."
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: Several. Most of them even keep the motif of whichever faction they defected from (see [[The Four Gods]] above).
** With the notable exception of Kyou-I F91, who goes through an [[Expository Hairstyle Change|Expository Design Change]].
Line 110 ⟶ 112:
* [[Plug N Play Technology]]: several cases thanks to the model kits' interchangeability. {{spoiler|The Ankoku Gyokuji in particular is capable of combining with different characters to become Expies of [[One-Winged Angel]]-class mecha from different Gundam continuities.}}
* [[Power Gives You Wings]]: Several. Notably [http://bandai-hobby.net/sangokuden/product/bbsenshi/kyoui.html Kyou-I Gundam] upon assuming his full F-91 form.
▲* [[Power Trio]]: Ryubi = Superego, Kan-U = Ego, Chouhi = Id.
▲** Going by the factions themselves we have Shou = Ego, Gou = Superego and Giga = Id.
* [[Punny Name]]: the Nanban Kibatai. 'Kiba' can mean both 'fang' or 'horseback riding', but this mounted cavalry carries standards with the ''kanji'' for 'fang'.
* [[Put on a Bus]]: Ryofu Tallgeese in the first chapter. Ryuubi Gundam and Sousou Gundam at the end of the second chapter.
** {{spoiler|[[He's Back]]: All of them....}}
* [[Real Is Brown]]: Take a look at the [http://bandai-hobby.net/sangokuden/product/bbsenshi/redcliff.html recolored Koumei Re-GZ and Shuuyu Hyakushiki] for the tie-in with the live-action movie ''[[Red Cliff]]''.
