Subverted in that the entire chase was set up and stage-managed by the [[Big Bad]] because it would guarantee the success of his ultimate plan. |

* ''[[Gundam Seed]]'' has a new type of ship Archangel running from chasing ZAFT who want to destroy it because it's somehow supposed to change the course of war if it went into production. It goes on for most part of series. What this troper finds staggering is that Archangel is supposedly a superior ship, however it's never even able to take out a single opposing ship on it's own. One would wonder why ZAFT is so determined to destroy it if that ship is so incompetent in battle. |

** Not the Archangel as much as the all-important [[Super Prototype|Strike]] aboard it: the Archangel itself is an amazing ship nonetheless, capable of dealing with entire fleets single-handedly, but the mobile suit (far superior to anything ZAFT could field at the time) very nearly changed the course of the war for the Earth Alliance (and could have, if they had used their production resources to speed up the Strike Daggers and the Three Ships Alliance hadn't intervened). |
