Line 12:
* [[Some Anvils Need to Be Dropped]]: Time and again, ''Undocumented Features'' shows us that redemption is always possible, even for those who are perilously close to the [[Moral Event Horizon]]. And often, all it takes is for the villain to choose to [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here|walk away]] and [[The Atoner|try to make amends]] for their past mistakes. Moreover, [[Forgiveness]] can be difficult, but being able to forgive is a good part of what makes the characters heroes. Without forgiveness, the galaxy would fall into chaos -- or perhaps not exist at all (just imagine the consequences if Gryphon and Kei hadn't forgiven each other after the Exile). And most of all, they show that redemption and forgiveness are [[Rule of Cool|freakin' cool]].
* [[Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny]]: Fortress Maximus vs. Surtur. Imperial Star Destroyer vs. the Macross. The Big O vs. an Evangelion. The list goes on and on. Got a favorite? It's probably here somewhere. Or will be.
* [[Unfortunate Implications]]: This one tends to start flame wars, but it has ''not'' escaped people's attention how many of the female characters in the earlier stories tend to end up judged by who they marry and who they give birth to as opposed to their other qualities...
* [[Wall Banger]]: The sidestory "Justice and Mercy" could qualify for inclusion from the get-go, with a scene shoving [[Dirty Pair|Kei]] and [[Project A-ko|Eiko]] through the [[Chickification]] wringer. But what truly kills it comes later. One of the main characters sees a group of orphans beating up another orphan. His response? Go into [[Transformers|giant-robot]] mode and ''kill'' their ringleader. This isn't hyperbole - he explicitly thinks to himself that the kid will not survive impact after being kicked into the sky! Sure, the kid was a bastard, but does that justify ''murder?'' [[Atop the Fourth Wall|Our hero, ladies and gentlemen]]. Doubling the damage: the orphans being abused are [[Animaniacs|Yakko, Wakko and Dot]] under slightly different names. ''This is played '''dead straight'''.''
* [[Wangst]]: The main weakness of the early Core stories, especially Kei and Yuri's disappearance in ''UF1'', most of the plot of ''UF2: The Long Road'' that resulted in the entire cast becoming immortal, and the downfall of the WDF in ''UF3: Out in the Cold''.
