Line 70:
* [[Easily Forgiven]]: The Dianna Counter force on Earth is never held to account for its mutiny.
* [[Easy Logistics]]: It isn't elaborated on how the Earth Militia manages to keep their Kapools and Borjanons in working order, {{spoiler|despite how maintenance-intensive Capules and Zakus have proven to be in Universal Century}}. The Turn A {{spoiler|and the Turn X}} handwave this via the use of {{spoiler|nanomachines}}.
* [[Empire with a Dark Secret]]
** The Moonrace, while not exactly villainous themselves nonetheless have one {{spoiler|in hiding the real truth and entirety of the Black History, even from themselves in an attempt to maintain the peaceful status quo and keep mankind's warrior tendencies in check}}.
** Though not to the same degree as the Moonrace, the Earth countries aren't entirely without fault {{spoiler|given that their leaders had been in secret albeit futile communications with the Moonrace, while the rest of the public is utterly oblivious to the fact that the impending invasion is coming from the Moon}}.
* [[Enemy Mine]]: Loran and Harry team up {{spoiler|when Dianna Counter's forces attack the Willgame excavation site, where Dianna is posing as Kihel, and again when they outright mutiny against Dianna}}.
* [[Everybody Lives]]: Well, ''almost'' everybody. But since this is ''Tomino'' we're talking about...
Line 78 ⟶ 81:
** Harry Ord is a subversion. While obviously [[Char Clone|A CHAR]], he's different enough that he's his own character and only shares some basic elements from Char.
*** Harry Ord is definitely more a [[Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam|QUATTRO]] than a CHAR. Obvious jokes aside, he wears shades rather than a mask, and pilots a gold Mobile Suit. Whereas other CHAR characters opted to imitate MSG Char and CCA Char, Harry is one of the few that really takes Zeta Char and runs with it.
* [[Fish Out of Water]]: Subverted with Loran and company when they first arrive on Earth. While they do find everything strange initially, the mere fact that they're provided with appropriate-looking outfits to make themselves fit in better suggests that the Moonrace already has at least some knowledge on what's happening on the ground. After all, they weren't the first ones to make planetfall, what with the Red Team {{spoiler|and the first Will Game}} coming long before them.
* [[Flash Step]]: {{spoiler|One of Turn A's abilities. It's actually more like a [[Invisibility Cloak|cloak step]]--the Gundam briefly becomes invisible, so wherever it appears next is a surprise.}}
* [[Gender Is No Object]]: Certainly true for the Moonrace. Dianna is the clear political leader, and there are many female pilots and technicians in the military. This is less true of the Earthrace--women can and do join the military, but it's said that they haven't progressed enough to be politically led by "someone in a skirt."
Line 83 ⟶ 87:
* [[Ghibli Hills]]: No wonder the Moonrace want Earth so badly. Of course, it's been millennia since the {{spoiler|Moonlight Butterfly apocalypse.}}
** It's implied that Ameria is one of the few places where this is true.
* [[Going Native]]: Loran and quite a number of Moonrace folk undergo this as they adjust to life on Earth. The Red Team had also long undergone this as well, albeit becoming more "tribal" compared to the civilized Earthrace nations.
* [[Gorgeous Period Dress]]: Girls wear these in special occasions.
** {{spoiler|As does Loran/Laura, to great effect.}}
Line 96 ⟶ 101:
** ''Extreme Vs'' includes the Turns, Harry's golden SUMO, and ''Full Boost'' will add Corin's Kapool.
* [[Hazy Feel Turn]]: Unusually, this comes about because the setting is so ''idealistic''. Hores and his Moonrace technicians have no qualms about helping the Earthrace excavate and restore the Gallop and ''Willgame''; they're more interested in their work than the conflict.
* [[Hidden Elf Village]]: The Moonrace, after a fashion. Given that most are descended from the remaining Spacenoids {{spoiler|whose technological civilization was spared from the same Moonlight Butterfly apocalypse that devastated the Earth}}.
* [[History Repeats]]: Retroactively applied to the Gundam series as a whole, with {{spoiler|everything being mushed into one big timeline that ''keeps bombing everything back to early post-industrial revolution''}}. The nth earth/Terrans-who-emigrated-generations-ago war is waged this time {{spoiler|''almost entirely with weapons left over from previous conflicts''}}.
* [[Heel Realization]]: Over the course of the series, Queen Dianna discovers that her policies and army have actually caused quite a bit of suffering.
Line 213 ⟶ 219:
* [[Wholesome Crossdresser]]: {{spoiler|Loran Cehack, aka "Laura Rolla"}}.
* [[Why Am I Ticking?]]: Prior to safely disposing of the nukes, Loran has to worry about the fact they are stored in the chest region of Turn A and they could go off if he's hit there.
* [[Women Are Wiser]]: The Moonrace
* [[Wrench Wench]]: Miashei Kun, Merrybell.
* [[Writer Revolt]]: See Wholesome Crossdresser above.
