* [[Determinator]]: Jiron, full stop. In-story, Maria is referred to as this for her dogged (some would say blind) adherence to [[Actual Pacifist|pacifism]].
* [[Dodge the Bullet]]: Jiron is ''really damn good'' at this... And everyone else to some extent or other.
* [[Earth All Along]]: Apparently Zora isn't the only name people have forgotten for their planet...[[Fridge Logic|save the fact that most Civilians call it Earth anyway already.]] All but a given in its ''[[Super Robot Wars]]'' appearances, especially its events developing [[After the End|After Two Ends]] in ''[[Super Robot Wars Alpha|Alpha Gaiden]]'' (the latter being an apocalyptic clusterfuck of the ''[[After War Gundam X]]'' and ''[[Turn A Gundam (Anime)|Turn a Gundam]]'' backstories).
* [[Elaborate Underground Base]]: A necessity for the Innocent - domes can only be so big.
* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"]]: Medic Helt is... [[The Medic|a doctor]]. On his own at first (he shows up in the first episode and fixes Jiron's arm), then for Sault, then finally for Iron Gear.
Line 110:
** The eventual solution appears to be a small group of leaders/planners based in the Iron Gear.
* [[Red Herring]]: The Blue Stones that are so important to everyone? That are the equivalent of Gold during a goldrush? Worthless and mundane, and different materials are used as actual money.
** Although they become an important plot point in [[Super Robot Wars]] Alpha Gaiden,{{spoiler|The blue stones are believed to be formed from the [[Humongous Mecha]] of after the Preventers time period fighting the Dinosaur and Mycene emipres as well as each other, which in turn is revealed to be caused by the [[Turn A Gundam (Anime)|Turn a Gundam]] destroying them all with the Moonlight Butterfly}}.
** There's another possibility for what they are, too. It's said that the Innocent can survive in places that have been cleared of Blue Stones, which implies that they're some kind of pollutant. The Innocent just told the Civilians that they were valuable so that they'd collect them so the Innocent could dispose of them (at least some of the "Ascension of Light" rocket launches from the payment point domes may be them shooting the stuff into space). This leads to some Major [[Fridge Horror]] when you think about it. What's a dangerous pollutant that's blue? Radioactive cobalt. The reason the world is in ruins could be due to the effects of a [[wikipedia:Cobalt Bomb|Cobalt Bomb]], a hypothetical type of nuclear weapon that was never built because the fallout would kill nearly everything on Earth.
* [[Red Shirt]]: Subverted - while there are plenty of [[Mooks|nameless Breakers]] on all sides of the eventual conflict, due to a number of factors (Tomino giving the finger to his nickname, the story taking place on Earth, the durability and cockpit locations of Walker Machines, etc.) they all have an unusually high chance of survival.
