Mobile Suit Gundam Wing | comment |
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing, also known in Japan as Shin Kidou Senki Gundam Wing (lit. "New Mobile Report Gundam Wing"), or simply Gundam Wing, is one of the more (in)famous of the Gundam Alternate Universes. Aired in Japan in 1995, this 49-episode series was brought to the United States (and eventually worldwide) in 2000 on Toonami, which helped push Gundam into the Western mainstream.In the year After Colony 195, the United Earth Sphere Alliance rules the Earth Sphere (the Earth, the Moon, and all associated space colonies) with an iron fist by way of Humongous Mecha known as mobile suits. Rebellious elements within the Space Colonies decide to fight back by sending five powerful mobile suits — Gundams — down to Earth so they can wreak havoc on the military forces.Relena Darlian, the teenage daughter of an important colonial diplomat, accidentally discovers the identity of a Gundam pilot who was shot down during his entry to Earth: a teenage boy named Heero Yuy. Because she can positively identify him, Heero tracks Relena down and swears to kill her (something he never quite gets around to doing). From there, Heero and the other four Gundam pilots find themselves having to blast their way through the various groups in power behind the UESA (and eventually their own force) while Relena fights in her own way to bring about peace between the Earth and the colonies amidst various political power shifts caused by the Gundam rebellion.The anime was a huge success, resulting in several more projects in that universe. The most notable was Endless Waltz. Taking place a year after the end of the series, a new rebellion is bankrolled by Dekim Barton, the original mastermind of Operation Meteor, with his adolescent granddaughter Mariemaia Khushrenada as the figurehead. They are using the peace and demilitarization after the last war to try and conquer the Earth. Unfortunately, the Gundam pilots had sent their Gundams into the sun weeks ago and must now try and get them back, while another pilot has sided with Mariemaia completely. Originally released as a 3-part OVA, it was later re-released as an extended movie with new footage.Numerous other stories were told set in the After Colony timeline, mostly manga. | |

Gatling Good: Gundam Heavyarms is almost the personification of this trope. Never mind the Heavyarms Custom and the Serpents in Endless Waltz, which uses four gatling guns simultaneously. Plus four more of them hidden in its chest. Wing Zero carries two small ones on its shoulder blades. | |

Heroic BSoD | |
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_1439161f | comment |
To be fair, both men have a strong sense of honor. Treize let him go because Wufei accepted his sword duel challenge, and then lost fair and square, when he could have easily smashed Treize's cabin just moments earlier. In Wufei's case, he likely wouldn't be able to live with himself had he killed Treize in such a cowardly way after having been beaten in a fair fight, further evidenced by his Heroic BSoD in episode 12. Plus, Endless Waltz's novelization points out that if Treize was killed back then, OZ would have descended into chaos with its leader dead, escalating the conflict even further. | |

Never Trust a Trailer: The Toonami trailer exaggerates a bit, as the narrator states "...Mankind has reached the stars, but the galaxy is troubled." In the show, most of the action really takes place on Earth or the Earth-Moon system, and humanity haven't even left the solar system. | |

Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_1a3a91dd | comment |
Say My Name: Relena's famous, or infamous, depending on your POV, "HEEERRROOOO!" cry, which is done three times throughout the series (four in the dubbed version). Heero would also say Relena's name very often. The series tends to emphasize their connection with a non-comical variation of the Sneeze Cut, often showing one say the other's name before cutting to the other looking up and reacting as if they just heard something. | |

Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_1b4e322c | comment |
Mr. Fanservice: Particularly Heero, Duo and Zechs, but the other boys have their own strong following as well. This show singlehandedly brought thousands of female fans not only into the Gundam franchise, but anime in general. Rumor has it they purposefully made the pilots more appealing to broaden their demographic and garner female interest; it worked. The massive amount of yaoi fangirlism this show has spawned is staggering. | |

Uterine Replicator: For several generations, normal pregnancy was impossible for colony dwellers and this was the only means of reproduction. While this has been largely overcome by the time the series starts, some groups are still struggling. Quatre's entire family - including his twenty-nine older sisters - are laboratory born. His mother wanted to concieve a child normally, and paid with her life to deliver him. | |

Forgotten Phlebotinum | |
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_1b89151e | comment |
Forgotten Phlebotinum: The main Gundams all have shields with offensive capabilities. Wing Gundam's shield can be used as a stabbing weapon; Wing Zero has the same, except it actually extends to be more effective; Deathscythe (and its upgrade. Deathscythe Hell) has a Buster Shield, which opens up and produces a beam blade and is then launched at an enemy, Heavyarms' shield is integrated into its Beam Gatling; Sandrock's shield can be combined with its weapons and jetpack to create a pincer weapon and can be used as a blinding flare, and Shenlong can throw its shield to destroy a mobile suit. Yet other than the Heavyarms, these offensive capabilities were each used precisely once by the suit over the course of the series (though Deathscythe used its Buster Shield once, and Deathscythe Hell used its Buster Shield once as well). | |

Necessary Drawback | |
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_1c0d4155 | comment |
Necessary Drawback: The ZERO System gives pilots an unprecedented combat advantage by presenting them with the best possible course of action but can drive the pilot insane. This is justified by implying that the system doesn't only present the best course of action, it lists out all possible approaches and outcomes and points out the most efficient/effective one. Given that the human mind is only equipped to consciously process one major train of thought at a time, the sheer volume of data being forced into the pilot's brain by ZERO is what makes the user's psyche snap like a dry twig. Also because it focuses on battle data, which is why you have to push all non-essential thoughts out of your head. When Zechs lost focus and thought about Peacemillion, he saw himself blow it up. The same thing happened to Duo when he thought about the colony where Hilde was. Nice tear jerker, but it was all a dream, thankfully. | |

Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_1c5002bc | comment |
The Stoic: Heero and Trowa. Both of them have very serious personalities and are focused on the mission exclusively. Not So Stoic: Heero laughed madly in many of the early episodes and was flabbergasted when he reflexively saved Relena in Episode 7. Trowa was shocked to find his own tears floating in his cockpit after destroying Deathscythe and after encountering a crazed Quatre in Wing Zero, he spent the entire battle pleading for the latter to come to his senses. | |

Heterosexual Life-Partners | |
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_1dfbbf31 | comment |
Heterosexual Life-Partners: Depending on the viewer's POV, the closest is Trowa and Quatre, and maybe even Zechs and Treize. Maybe Zechs and Treize? Treize sounds like he is coming out in episode eighteen "come back to me Zechs." Further supported by the fact that the manga hints that a young Zechs went to live with Treize's family after the fall of Sanc. So they've probably been living together since they were young teenagers, at least. Due to the normally socially implacable Heero, his surprisingly close friendship with Duo was all the stranger. Quatre and Heero understand each other and get along surprisingly well in the second half of the series for such little interaction in the first. | |

Real Robot Genre | |
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_1e10069c | comment |
Real Robot Genre: Despite borrowing the five Gundam concept from Mobile Fighter G Gundam's Shuffle Alliance (which were Super Robots, by the way), and being built out of a fictional metal, the six Gundams used in this series were much more bound to the laws of physics and thus more grounded in reality. As such, they would require tons of maintenance, repairs, and logistics like any other real robot. The majority of OZ mobile suits and mobile dolls, even some of the Super Prototypes like the Tallgeese, Mercurius, and Vayeate, probably even more so than said six Gundams. | |

Bloodier and Gorier: Not the show itself, which is one of the least gory Gundam shows ever, but the manga adaptation Endless Waltz: The Glory of Losers. While actual gore was lower than other Gundam series and there were few major character deaths, the show wasn't exactly happy land either. All of the Gundam pilots slaughter thousands of soldiers each during the early part of the series, and the only named military characters to survive until the end are Noin, Une, Zechs, Dorothy, and Sally. | |

Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_259d5879 | comment |
Anachronism Stew: This series takes World War II era fashion and technology, and combines it with that of The '90s, and the Space Age. There's also a pronounced European flavor going on. It's a mix, though, from the different parts of the early-mid 20th Century. And not to mention the mooks on both sides dressing like WW1 or WW2 soldiers (or fighter pilots in the case of those using mobile suits). | |

Frozen Teardrop shows that as a teenager Katrina looked identical to her future daughter (and on top of that, so did her twin sister Sabrina); of course, this also fits with the novel's extensive use of Generation Xerox. | |

Mythology Gag | |
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: Classic Gundam series get a few subtle nods, such as the Newtype "flash" sound being used a few times. Worth noting because in early drafts, Wu Fei was a Newtype. In episode 41, the blonde female cannon operator aboard Barge bears a resemblance to Sayla Mass. There's the date, April 7th. Within the series, this was when the original Heero Yuy was assassinated in AC 175, when Relena was born on AC 180, and on AC 195, when Operation Meteor was launched. In the real world, April 7th was when Gundam Wing was first broadcast on Japanese television in 1995, and when Mobile Suit Gundam was first broadcast on Japanese television in 1979. The Tallgeese being three time faster than the Aries is a reference to Char's Zaku being three times faster than a regular Zaku. In one episode, Taurus Mobile Dolls are equipped with laser rifles that look just like the machine guns used by Federation mobile suits in Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory. Noin, piloting her Taurus, does Char's Flying Kick on a Virgo in episode 33. | |

"I Know You Are in There Somewhere" Fight: First, Trowa towards the maddened Quatre under the effect of the ZERO System. Works only partially, as Quatre blows his suit up yet does snap back to sanity. Later, Quatre is the one who tries pulling Trowa out of his own ZERO System-induced craziness; he fully succeeds, keeping Trowa from blowing up a whole colony. | |

Easter Egg | |
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_29a39f6 | comment |
Easter Egg: When Heero is disabling the self-destructing missile at New Edwards Base, the front of the casing has a little badge that reads "Intel Outside." Episode 3 has another IT easter egg in the form of the screen of the device that scans Heero while under restraints in the hospital dispay a readme file for TWAIN and Adobe Photoshop. There's another egg hidden in the Wing's schematics seen when Heero's in the hospital. It names the Gundam's composition as "Gundarium theta." Sandrock's OS apparently makes use of the ALICE System from Gundam Sentinel. | |

Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_2a7e7af1 | comment |
Limited Wardrobe: No matter where any of the Gundam pilots are or what they were wearing beforehand, they'll always have their default outfits close by. Heero with his green tank top and shorts, Duo with his priest outfit, Quatre with his collared shirt and vest, Trowa with his turtleneck, and Wufei with his blue top and white pants. Trowa subverts it the most, since his undercover work finds him in either a clown outfit or an OZ uniform for much of the show. | |

More Dakka: Heavyarms. And Trowa can't seem to leave a battle without emptying every single clip he has.note Worth noting that the Heavyarms, and its variants, don't fully achieve this, as its various Gatling Guns were actually Beam Gatling Guns, therefore, not actually ballistics. Sandrock gets a Beam SMG as part of its Mid-Season Upgrade, giving it some much-needed long-range firepower. | |

Awesome, but Impractical | |
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: Wing Gundam's Buster Rifle is incredibly powerful, but it can only fire three shots, or as many cells as the Buster Rifle is capable of carrying. Katoki's version has these 'gliders' that attach to Wing's arms during bird mode — these gliders carry extra cells for the Buster Rifle. Wing Zero's Twin Buster Rifle does not have this limitation however, due to it drawing power directly from the suit's own reactor. The Tallgeese was the first ever mobile suit and remains one of the most powerful in the series. However, the suit was built purely for raw power and the intense physical stress and G-Forces experienced by the pilot can cause him to black out and suffer a heart attack, if not outright kill him. All of that power was deemed unnecessary, so the design was dumbed down, resulting in the Leo. | |

Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_30a52f16 | comment |
Shadow Government: The Romefeller Foundation and its military wing OZ are of the conspirators type. Headed by aristocrats and royalties who lost power in previous centuries, they seek to subvert democracy and regain control over the world. As the primary financial backer of the United Earth Sphere Alliance they manipulate its leadership while infiltrating its military, transforming the Alliance into an empire in all but name. When the leaders of the Alliance propose making peace with the repressed space colonies, Oz has their leadership killed off and takes outright control over the government via armed coup. | |

Even Evil Has Standards | |
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_319e4a2f | comment |
Even Evil Has Standards: A few examples: Lady Une's first attempts at stopping the Gundams drew this reaction from Treize. First she tried to have the ICBMs at St. Edwards base self-detonate, then tried to force the Gundams to surrender by threatening to blast the colonies with missiles. In Episode 13, Zechs and two OZ troopers, Alex and Mueller, are attacking a holdout Alliance base. After a brief skirmish, he orders them to surrender, and they initially agree, but Alex and Mueller continue to open fire on the surrendering soldiers. The Alliance then launches a last ditch attack, which kills one of Mueller's allies, and they turn on Zechs for not being ruthless enough against their enemies by slaughtering them all. Zechs, partly due because he has to defend himself, and also because he's appalled at their lack of decency towards surrendering soldiers, destroys both mobile suits himself. It doesn't help that they were quite openly hostile to him before the mission. When the mobile doll technology is on the verge of mass production, Treize protests this decision by the Romefeller Foundation, and resigns his position, because he feels taking humans out of the battle diminishes the sacrifices and the roles they play in those conflicts. Consequently, many OZ troops believe in this as well, and split off to form the Treize Faction. | |

Evolving Credits | |
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_3297cfbb | comment |
Evolving Credits: Not as major as other Gundam shows, but still there. Opening 1, "Just Communication," initially has low-quality stock footage of the Gundams during the instrumental between the first chorus and first verse. Starting with Episode 16, those shots are replaced with much higher quality animation. The shot of Trieze and Zechs in front of the former's followers was also moved to the end of the first bridge and a new shot of Wing flying towards the screen and transforming was added to the final chorus. Opening 2, "Rhythm Emotion," is a bit more extensive. Originally, the intro had no sound effects for Wing Zero starting up, the opening beats had low-quality shots of the other 4 Gundams, and the various action shots of the Gundams and Epyon throughout are recycled show animation (aside from recycled footage of Heavyarms and Sandrock from the first opening). Later, the opening shot gets the boot-up beeping sound effect added in, the opening shots of the other four Gundams are replaced with a scene of Wing Zero launching and then into a quick profile close-up transition to the title screen, while all the action shots were upgraded to very high quality footage, aside from Sandrock, who simply gets the same shot reused AGAIN, just slowed down for some reason. | |

Out of Focus | |
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_32da91b8 | comment |
Out of Focus: Despite the small central cast, this somehow applies to everyone except Heero and Quatre. Duo, once he escapes from the Lunar Base, only appears in one episode until the White Fang starts showing up. Trowa, after thrown from the Vaeyate's exploding suit, sits out the show for almost 15 episodes. Zechs, after his duel with Heero, ceases to be important to the story until the final arc. His only accomplishments are saving Lady Une once and delivering Wing Zero to Heero. Relena, once the story moves to space for the first time, goes into the background until the halfway point, where she's revealed to be leading the revived Sanc Kingdom. Noin disappears at the same time, since she becomes Relena's mentor. The five Gundam scientists are shown looking at Wing Zero as the Lunar Base is on fire in Episode 29. They don't appear again until near the end of the series, where it's revealed that the White Fang was holding them captive. Lady Une disappears midway through the series due to getting shot. She doesn't re-appear until the final few episodes. Treize, after stepping down as Chief Representative, goes into hiding to build Epyon and doesn't appear again until near the end of the Sanc Kingdom arc. Then, he vanishes for a few more episodes until taking over Romefeller from Relena and Duke Dermail. Wufei, however, takes the cake. He could arguably be this for almost the entire show. Since he tends to stick to himself, there are very few scenes where he's actually seen interacting with the other Gundam pilots, and before the final arc, he only ever fights alongside his allies twice for a combined total of less than five minutes. Outside of his handful of spotlight episodes, he barely makes an impact on the overall story. Despite being why the show exists, the titular Gundams get this between Episodes 16 and 31. Sandrock self-destructs, Wing and Heavyarms are left on Earth while everyone else is in space, and both Deathscythe and Shenlong are quickly destroyed and captured by OZ. Even the brand new Gundams introduced (Wing Zero, Deathscythe Hell, and Altron) get this. Heero goes back to his original Wing Gundam during the Sanc Kingdom arc, while Wing Zero gets passed around near the end of said arc, while Deathscythe Hell and Altron only factor in Duo and Wufei's respective spotlight episodes until the final arc when all the Gundam pilots come together. | |

La Résistance: The five space colonies would bring together five former, disillusioned OZ scientists to build five Gundams and train their respective pilots in guerrilla warfare, in order to prepare them for their rebellion against a corrupt Earth-based government. White Fang (and in some regard, the Treize Faction) would eventually represent a corrupted version of the very rebellion the space colonies and their respective Gundam pilots staged against Earth. | |

Batman Gambit: OZ baits the Gundam pilots into killing the UESA leadership that had actively been seeking peace with the colonies, which in turn prompts the surviving leadership to declare war on the Gundams and their colonial allies and thus deny the Gundams their credibility to the rattled public. This gives OZ the legitimacy it requires as they move to usurp control of Earth from the now shattered and disorganized UESA and continue their own campaign against the colonies. | |

Curb-Stomp Battle: More than a few examples, but memorably when Wufei attempted to kill Treize early on, and gets completely dominated. Also counts as Laser-Guided Karma, since the latter is almost everything the former isn't. | |

Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_420c50b7 | comment |
A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Heero invokes this trope against the Mobile Dolls. He makes them target a Leo suit, at which point the Dolls assume that all Leo suits are enemies, causing them to wipe out all of OZ's mobile suits in that colony. Then, for an encore, he does the same thing with spacesuits, causing the Dolls to blow up their controllers in the hanger. | |

Female Gaze | |
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_44e64e96 | comment |
Female Gaze: Unusally for a mecha anime, Gundam Wing is almost entirely predicated on it, maybe deliberately, maybe not: Trowa Barton. Shirtless Trowa from the Endless Waltz OVA. Also, he gets a butt shot in the "Odds and Evens" shorts. Treie Khushrenada. Bubble bath with rose petals. Lots of crotch and butt shots of the G-boys throughout the series. Oh, and Latex Space Suits. The G-boys are seen in Speedos in one of the promo artbooks, as well as Heero and Duo taking their soaking wet shirts off in the rain. Dozens of artbook pictures featuring Heero and Duo hanging all over each other. Heero's usual outfit consisting of a slinky tank top that frequently shows off his man-cleavage, and tight Spandex bike shorts with nothing underneath. The series in general, being one of the first in the Gundam franchise to feature a Cast Full of Pretty Boys. | |

Honor Before Reason | |
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_44fc28e8 | comment |
Honor Before Reason: Wufei had a perfectly good opportunity to kill Treize with his Gundam, but chose to accept a challenge to a sword duel instead. Treize wins the duel and had a perfectly good opportunity to capture or kill a Gundam pilot and take his ultra-advanced suit, but chose to let him leave. Wufei then could've gotten back in his Gundam and blown away Treize where he stood, but chose to simply leave. To be fair, both men have a strong sense of honor. Treize let him go because Wufei accepted his sword duel challenge, and then lost fair and square, when he could have easily smashed Treize's cabin just moments earlier. In Wufei's case, he likely wouldn't be able to live with himself had he killed Treize in such a cowardly way after having been beaten in a fair fight, further evidenced by his Heroic BSoD in episode 12. Plus, Endless Waltz's novelization points out that if Treize was killed back then, OZ would have descended into chaos with its leader dead, escalating the conflict even further. Played almost stupidly with Zechs' personality. He won't defeat an opponent if it isn't a fair fight. This translates to, he can disarm them in mid-combat, then spare them because he was no longer armed with a weapon. His need to be honorable certainly seems to cloud any sense of priority, as he will give his rival a Gundam, just so they can have a fair duel, while in the middle of a war. | |

Energy Weapon: All energy weapons used in the series are particle beams of various firepower. The sole exception is in one episode where laser rifles were used because they can punch through beam shields. Too bad their firepower is weak and they tend to overload. | |

No Hugging, No Kissing | |
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_482c31d4 | comment |
No Hugging, No Kissing: Aside from Blind Target, where Heero (possibly) kisses Relena, relationships in Gundam Wing are noticeably asexual. Even Zechs and Noin, who are an official couple, demonstrate little, if any, physical affection for each other. It's probably because a lot more focus was given to the politics and combat in the story. Then again, Zechs and Noin get a serious Does This Remind You of Anything? moment in Episode 4, when Noin taps her sword against his while he's on the phone. | |

Stock Footage | |
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_4856ac40 | comment |
Stock Footage: While not nearly as egrigous as another Gundam show, each major Mobile Suit type has its own set of stock animation that is used in almost every single battle involving it. Wing Gundam has its transformation from plane to robot mode, about three different shots of it firing its Buster Rifle, and pulling its beam saber out of its shield. Deathscythe has a swipe of its beam scythe towards the camera, launching its Buster Shield, and a wide shot of it slicing Leos in half. Its upgraded Hell version has the shot of its wings opening and a scene where it swings its double-bladed beam scythe towards the camera. Sandrock has the shot of it leaping into the air and slicing two Leos in half, as well as a sequence of Sandrock throwing its Heat Shortels into two grunt MS, which then melts through their frames before exploding. The latter even appears after the setting moves into space. Heavyarms was especially bad. Each and every shot of the Gundam using its various gatling guns and launching missiles was used in practically every fight it was ever in. There's also the shot of Heavyarms' arm knife popping out. Both Shenlong and Altron reuse any animation of them launching their dragon arms as much as they can. Altron also fires its tail laser and twirls its beam trident the exact same way every time. Wing Zero has its own transformation sequence, taking out its beam saber from its shoulder, and firing its vulcans. Also, Zero has about five different animations of its Twin Buster Rifles firing that are recycled constantly, most notably the famous shot of it splitting the rifles and firing them from both sides while spinning in place. Tallgeese actually didn't have much stock footage at first, mostly just the shot where it is flying towards the camera, readies its cannon, and then fires. However, once it gets out into space, most of Tallgeese's battle footage is just the same three or four sequences repeated endlessly. Both Vayate and Mercurius have the footage of them using their signature abilities (Vayate's giant laser cannon, Mercurius' shields and its sword) used in all of their battles, despite only being in about 5 episodes total. The various grunt suits (Leos, Aries, Tauruses, Tragos, Virgos, etc.) all have a set of animations that were reused constantly, typically two or three for attacking, one for moving around, and three or four exploding depending on whether they are on Earth or in space. The Taurus suits were especially notable once the series first moves out into space. Epyon doesn't have that many, likely due to not having any long-range weapons. The only consistently used recycled footage is its transformation sequence and using its beam sword at maximum power. Whether used for the man himself or via Heavyarms, expect Trowa to make an entrance by leaping in the air, then spinning about ten times before making a perfect landing. | |

Ace Custom | |
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_49f8c18f | comment |
Ace Custom: Despite this being a Gundam series, this isn't employed very often: Noin first pilots a green Aries, then upgrades to a white Taurus. While neither are wholly unique units (other green Aries are seen, and all Sanc Kingdom Tauruses have the same color scheme), they seem to be commander units. Surprisingly, Zechs never gets one of these, instead piloting normal Mobile Suits until getting Super Prototype Tallgeese. The four named Maganac officers all have their own customized units, with unique armaments or armor. In the (questionably canon) spin-off manga G-Unit, members of elite OZ Prize team have their own heavily customized Leo units. This would later be averted in the sequels Endless Waltz and Frozen Teardrop, where almost all of the protagonists' mobile suits are customized and enhanced. | |

Even in said final arc, he has to be hit over the head with the ZERO System before he actually becomes a team player. For most of the show, Wufei is out on his own, doing his own thing. | |

War Comes Home: The Gundam pilots scatter after they learn they were tricked into wiping out a peace conference, thus allowing OZ to take direct control of much of the Earth Sphere. The home colony of Chang Wufei comes under attack and self-destructs in a Senseless Sacrifice in a pointless gesture of defiance. Meanwhile, Quatre's home also comes under attack, and while the attack is repelled the death of his beloved older sister causes Quatre to cross the Despair Event Horizon and build the monstrously powerful Wing Zero, the Zero System convincing him that the way to peace is to kill everyone. | |

Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_4f84cdef | comment |
Smug Snake: Duke Dermail, head of the Romafeller Foundation, is willing to use the colonies as essentially indentured labor to produce as many Mobile Dolls as possible, in order to wipe out all resistance and have the other nations beg to be governed by him. Ken Tsubarov is utterly obsessed with perfecting his Mobile Dolls and destroying any force that resists Romafeller. Anyone or anything that gets in the way of that, whether the Gundam pilots or even his superior officer Colonel Une, is of no use to him and can be destroyed or thrown away. Quinze Quarante was the leader of the White Fang and, like Dekim below, is very, very eager to wipe out humanity on Earth, especially using the Mobile Dolls the colonies were essentially enslaved to build. Dekim Barton was the original mastermind behind Operation Meteor, wanting to send several colonies onto Earth and use the Gundams to clean up whatever's left, leaving him in charge. When the Gundam Scientists subverted his plans, he decided to manipulate his (possible) granddaughter into launching another invasion. When Mariemaia is shot, Dekim doesn't back down, saying he can always make another puppet. | |

Invincible Hero: The five pilots and their Gundams are near unstoppable Juggernauts. You could count their losses on one hand, and then you'd need a calculator for all the times they win. The infamous "IT'S A GUNDAM!" line exists for a reason. Heero in particular is arguably an exaggeration of this trope. Not only is he easily the best of the five pilots (especially once he gets the Wing Zero), but he also seems to be a quite literal example too given he regularly survives injuries he really shouldn't. Including surviving the fall, explosion and complete destruction of the Wing Zero in the climax of Endless Waltz (complete with the cockpit area exploding). And Heero (not kidding) climbs out looking none the worse for wear and walks away just fine. | |

Book Ends: The first episode ends with Heero ripping up an invitation to Relena's birthday party. One year later, the final episode ends with Relena ripping up a birthday card from Heero, saying he should have given it to her in person. Heero's first combat with a Gundam is against Zechs, who intercepts him on his approach to Earth in the first episode. Heero's final combat in the series is also against Zechs, who is defending the reactor core of the Libre as it begins falling to the Earth in the final episode. | |

Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_548bd053 | comment |
Guns Akimbo: The Endless Waltz version of Heavyarms carries a dual-barreled gatling cannon in each hand in the final battle. Wing Zero's Twin Buster Rifle is two guns that can either be wielded separately (done on multiple occasions) or joined into one gun that can fire an even more powerful shot. Trowa does this once in a Taurus. | |

White-and-Grey Morality: Save for the few like Ken Tsubarov, most of the characters desire for justice and peace, even if their ways of achieving it are questionable, as pointed out by Relena Peacecraft. Fortunately, Everyone Lives except Treize Khushrenada, who willingly dies by his own choice, and the world achieves true peace as Relena sees it. This way, Gundam Wing is a total opposite to the Universal Century series. | |

Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_5e782d0c | comment |
The Tallgeese is an in-universe Super Prototype from which all other mobile suit designs originated, but was deemed too dangerous for the pilot and became nothing more than a museum exhibit and collector's curiosity. When the Gundams start raising hell of all kinds, the bad guys decide to Break Out the Museum Piece. The Tallgeese proves itself quite capable on the battlefield repeatedly afterwards with a good pilot inside it. | |

Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_61c683d2 | comment |
We Have Reserves: The Mobile Dolls make this easy to invoke, as they provide the people who control the factory an infinite supply of disposable mooks. At one point Zechs tries to use this against the Gundam pilots - since he has an unlimited supply of mooks and they have a finite supply of spare parts for the Gundams, all he has to do is send enough waves of automated soldiers programmed well enough to do some damage on each attack and sooner or later he'll wear them down. The only reason it failed was the arrival of a third faction, who drew off enough Mobile Dolls to make the attrition strategy impractical. | |

Cue Heero blowing up his Gundam to follow Dr. J's orders. Even Zechs and Treize were appalled by what Une threatened to do. The Gundam Engineers sacrifice themselves to prevent the Libra and Peacemillion from doing a Colony Drop on Earth in the final episode. | |

Shoulder Cannon: Heavyarms has missile launchers on its shoulders. The manga adaptation gives it honest-to-goodness shoulder cannons. Technically they are on the shoulder blades, but Wing Zero hides its vulcans there instead of in the head like most Gundam suits. Tragos suits have them as standard armaments, and Leos can have an optional pair attached. Pisces' torpedo launchers become its shoulders in robot mode. | |

Ship Sinking: Frozen Teardrop appears to sink the Wu Fei/Sally ship with the introduction of Sally's daughter Kathy Po, and a 'Father Maxwell, who will run and hide but never tell a lie' with his son, Duo. It's confirmed as of Chapter 7 that Duo and Hilde married (but got divorced because she thought he was irresponsible). It's unclear whether Duo Jr. is their biological son or not due to Duo/Father Maxwell being an Unreliable Narrator. Not to mention, since Heero and Relena spent the last 30 years on ice, the odds are extremely slim that they'll get with anybody except each other. | |

Duo Maxwell, named for the two biggest influences on his young life: Solo, the leader of his group of street urchins and his childhood best friend, and the Maxwell Church (and Father Maxwell), which was his home after the urchins were caught and put up for adoption. Meanwhile, in Frozen Teardrop, Meanwhile, Duo names himself Father Maxwell while an "orphan" from Sister Hilde's orphanage who looks exactly like the original Duo, probably Duo's kid with Hilde is also named Duo Maxwell. | |

Big Bad Ensemble | |
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_72cdfc33 | comment |
Big Bad Ensemble: The role of central antagonist is fought over continuously throughout the series. Sometimes they work together but, at the end of the day, they follow their own agendas. The Earth Sphere Unified Alliance starts off as the series antagonist, with General Septem pushing for the increased militarization kicking off the plot. Septum is ultimatly a Big Bad Wannabe and the Alliance a Starter Villain. He's executed to pave the way for OZ and Romefeller. Duke Dermail leads the Romefeller Foundation, which finances Treize and OZ. It's through their backing that the Alliance falls and puts the Foundation in power. Though Dermail has the greatest amount of wealth and influence, he's outgambitted by Treize in the end. White Fang throws themselves into the ring late in the series, with their ties to Operation Meteor and the threat they pose to Earth and the Gundam Pilots. Quinze is the founder and the one who brings the group into the spotlight, but he has Zechs lead them, as he's a better fighter and tactician. Zechs's role as a Big Bad pushes him towards the darker Char clone variant for a time being. Treize ultimately wins out as the Big Bad for the series. He spends the longest amount of time as the antagonist pushing the plot forward and the show's climax centers around him and his machinations. | |

No Loves Intersect: Each of the pilots has a single, solitary female potential Love Interest and that pilot is their only Love Interest. However, due to No Hugging, No Kissing almost none of the couples are resolved at the end, giving shippers free reign to do as they choose. | |

Unwitting Pawn: The Gundam pilots are tricked by Treize into wiping out the Alliance's leadership just as they were about to disarm and open peace negotiations with the colonies, thus ruining any chance of peace and granting OZ control of the Earth Sphere. | |

ColorCodedForYourConvenience | |
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_740f59b4 | comment |
Color-Coded for Your Convenience: Soldiers of the Earth Sphere Unified Alliance typically wear brown military uniforms. Once OZ takes over, they start wearing black uniforms. Amusingly, once the Treize Faction pops up, they suddenly get all green uniforms while the remaining OZ soldiers get dark blue. Zechs' first outfit and his space uniform are red, unique only to him. Leos are initially divided into green models for Earth, blue for Space, and red for Commanders. However, once the Treize Faction appears, they get all the green Leo suits while OZ takes all the blue ones. Noin first pilots a green Aries (as opposed to the normal dark blue) and then a white Taurus (normally black). Taurus' belonging to the White Fang are colored brownish-red. All of the Gundams' various melee beam weapons have the blades colored green, while enemy suits use either yellow or pink. Since the aquatic Cancer and Pisces suits have similar designs, they were colored red and light blue respectively. Oddly averted when it comes to standard long range fire. Both generic beam weaponry and kinetic rifles use the same shade of yellow for their shots, which can sometimes make it confusing whether a gun is firing beams or bullets at an enemy, especially when the recycled animation makes both act the same way. | |

Easy Logistics: Averted. The Gundam pilots clearly have a support network to keep them in spare parts and munitions that was put in place well before they arrived on Earth, and the first wave of attacks in Operation Meteor target not OZ units, but the infrastructure that OZ needs to replace combat losses. | |

Devil's Pitchfork: While not exactly evil, the Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy Wufei is probably the most morally ambiguous of the five main characters & has a double-bladed Beam Trident as his Gundam's sole handheld weapon after its Midseason Upgrade. Notably, this is the only part of any of the five main Gundams not to get massively overhauled yet again by Hajime Katoki for The Movie, which features Wufei as one of the main antagonists for much of his screentime & even has him Putting on the Reich. | |

Animation Bump | |
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_7ea2a915 | comment |
Animation Bump: The Gundams are very complex, detailed machines...except usually they're not drawn that way because it would send the budget for fight sequences through the roof. While you can make out every scratch, joint, and piece of weaponry on the Gundams in the opening sequences, in the show proper their designs are heavily simplified whenever they're moving...and then when they're standing still for extended periods, they're all detailed again. However, a few important plot-altering battles (especially the grand finale) treat us to fully detailed, animated Gundams in all their glory. On the other hand, the movie gives us consistently detailed Gundams throughout, and actually redesigns them so they're even MORE complex. Granted it's not actually animated but the ongoing External Retcon manga adaptation Endless Waltz: Glory Of Losers is even more detailed in both the mobile suit designs(since it uses the all the redesigned versions of the Gundams by Hajime Katoki) and made all the battles and destruction even more intense. | |

Small Role, Big Impact: The Mercurius and the Vaeyate were only around for a handful of episodes, but not only did they factor in the turning point for the show, but their abilities would be the basis of the Virgo I and II models that would become the default grunt MS for the rest of the show. Marquis Weyridge only appears in three episodes, but he is shown to be a big supporter of Relena and is the one that starts the domino chain resulting in Relena usurping power from Duke Dermail. Sally Po appears in less than ten episodes, but she was instrumental in giving Wufei a renewed sense to fight as well as retreiving the left behind Gundams after the pilots went out into space. | |

Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_82f5ced1 | comment |
Conservation of Ninjutsu: Sometimes, more enemies for the Gundams to face just means more beat up Mooks, instead of representing an increased threat. Justified in that most of the enemy mobile suits can't compare to the advanced strength of the Gundams. Later averted in one the last episodes when Mobile Dolls manage to actually overwhelm the Gundams. | |

What Happened to the Mouse?: Quatre's sister Irea, who appears in one episode and ends it unconscious or dead, but it is never revealed which.

Frozen Teardrop finally answers the question by saying she's alive and helped raise little sister Katherine, who becomes Quatre's Expy in the plot. When Doctor J is first introduceed, he has a ragtag band of freedom fighters that help spirit Relena away after Lady Une assassinates her father. All of those freedom fighters disappear after that episode. Similarly, once the five Gundam creators escape their cells in the Lunar Base, they are taken in by the newly formed Treize Faction, along with Heero and Quatre. Everyone is soon surrounded by OZ troops and surrenders. Heero, Quatre, and the scientists are seen escaping, but none of the Treize Faction soldiers appear again. Another Treize Faction example. One branch ended up being enlisted to man the Sanc Kingdom's defense force, but none of those soldiers are seen afterwards, even when Romafeller decides to fully invade. | |

Psychic Powers: Quatre has latent Newtype abilities. In the original concept for Wing, Wufei also had the Newtype ability to sense evil-doers. Depending on how similar the Zero system is to Gundam F91's Bio-computers (which improve anybody's combat performance but function best when used by a Newtype), Heero and Zechs may very well have some Newtype ability. | |

It doesn't help that the scientists they work for conveniently forgot to tell them that they're supposed to work together. And while it takes nearly to the end of the series to get to that point, they do eventually become a formidable team. | |

No One Could Survive That! | |
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_8c96ae78 | comment |
No One Could Survive That!: Heero may as well be the poster child for this. He gets this in-universe when Zechs traps his Gundam and it plummets straight into the ocean. Of course, he survives with barely a scratch. A few episodes later, he jumps from a tall skyscraper head first, pulls his parachute late, and slides down a rocky cliff, and his only significant injury is a dislocated leg. Oh, and this is after losing a lot of blood freeing himself from his bonds about twenty minutes earlier. After that, he self-destructs Wing while standing on the cockpit door. While he loses a lot of blood and takes several months to recover, he does return to full strength with all of his limbs and no scars to speak of anywhere. Finally, when the last piece of Libra is heading for Earth, Heero zooms down in Wing Zero to intercept it. He flies in front, burning up, and fires his rifles. Instead of being flung away from the explosion and burning up on re-entry, he transforms into Bird Mode and flies through the explosion. Trowa, piloting the Vaeyate, confronts Quatre, who has gone crazy in the Wing Zero. Quatre fires a shot from the Twin Buster Rifle, which just destroyed a colony and resource satallite a few hours ago, and although half of the Mobile Suit gets totaled, Trowa himself is mostly fine. He then tanks another hit, which forces the suit to explode. Trowa then rockets upward so Heero and Quatre won't be caught in the blast. Somehow, not only is he thrown from the Vaeyate without puncturing his space suit in the slightest, but he has enough air to survive floating in the endless void of space, unconscious, for weeks. Lady Une has them all beat. Late in the series, Zechs fires the Libra's main cannon, which is capable of causing severe damage to Earth's surface, right at Treize, wanting him to be obliterated. Une, piloting a stolen Wing Gundam, pushes Treize out of the way and takes the full brunt of the massive laser. While the Gundam itself is trashed for good, Une herself is completely uninjured. And that was after spending much of the series in a coma due to being shot in the torso and bleeding out for hours before anyone rescued her. | |

Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_8e9cf84e | comment |
"Blind Idiot" Translation: All of these examples are from the English dub. When Wing Gundam's Buster Rifle is airlifted to Heero in an episode, Quatre refers to it as the "Beam Gatling," which is Gundam Heavyarms's weapon. The first episode contains the following seemingly-contradictory exchange:...whereupon the ship proceeds to attack with a machine gun. What the Japanese script actually said was, "No point in firing a warning shot. Shoot him down!" which makes a lot more sense. The phrase "wake him up" conveys the right intent, but in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it way.note "Machine Gun" is actually military slang for a warning shot (as in firing a machine gun over their heads to freak them out). It's a bit too obscure of a term for Wing's intended audience, however, especially at the time when the show aired. Soldiers have a tendency to erroneously address Lieutenant-Colonel Une as "Lieutenant" instead of as "Colonel." | |

Revisiting the Roots | |
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_8eb3d48f | comment |
Revisiting the Roots: Especially coming after Mobile Fighter G Gundam and how it embraced the Super Robot Genre, Wing takes a few ideas from that (a hero team of five Gundams, specifically) but fell more in line with the politically oriented military fiction while avoiding the Continuity Lockout that had begun to plague the Universal Century timeline. In fact, tonally it's pretty close to the original show. As a result Wing became the standard for what the Gundam Alternate Universe format could accomplish. | |

Granted it's not actually animated but the ongoing External Retcon manga adaptation Endless Waltz: Glory Of Losers is even more detailed in both the mobile suit designs(since it uses the all the redesigned versions of the Gundams by Hajime Katoki) and made all the battles and destruction even more intense. | |

Awesome Personnel Carrier: Unlike other Gundam series, Wing eschews full-on warships and carriers in favor of vehicles that serve as rapid troop transports. Presumably this is because the main opposition to the Alliance are small resistance groups, so warships would be expensive and inefficient. | |

With Heero being First, the rest of the main cast follows the numerical naming: Duo (2, obvious), Trowa (homophone to the French pronounciation for 3 "Trois"), Quatre (French for 4), Chang Wufei (Wu is chinese for 5) and Zechs (homophone for Sechs, which is German for 6). The show in fact really likes naming characters using either the outright French word for a number (Quatre, Une (1), Treize (13), Quinze (15), Milliard (Billion)) or a homophone for one (Trowa, Trant (30)). And also the Big Bad in Endless Waltz, Dekim (Decem, 10)). | |

Gambit Roulette: Treize and Zechs engineer the war between the Earth Nation and White Fang as part of their Well-Intentioned Extremist plan. The manga version is a lot more explicit on this point, with Zechs confessing the truth to Heero, but the anime strongly implies the same. The thing is, it just gets hard to follow exactly what they are doing. | |

Crippling Overspecialization | |
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_9aaf8eca | comment |
Crippling Overspecialization: Subverted by the Epyon. It's the only mobile suit without any long range weapons whatsoever, not even the head/shoulder mounted machine guns to shoot down incoming missiles, which is standard issue even on mook units (it is later added to Epyon's head, but even then it was only used once in the entire series). But its ZERO System more than compensates for any deficiency; combined with its superior melee power, Epyon is one of the, if not the most powerful mobile suit in the series, tied with Wing Zero. Where Wing Zero gets the BFG, Epyon gets the BFS. | |

Character Tics | |
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_9ae8eea9 | comment |
Character Tics: Since the Gundam pilots switch suits quite often in this series, it's interesting to see the fighting styles of their respective Gundams translated into their usage of other suits. Examples: When Trowa used Wing, he held the Buster Rifle like an actual rifle instead of shooting it like a pistol like Heero usually does. He also dual wields the Taurus' default beam rifle and cannon. In Endless Waltz, his signature jump flip enabled Heero to identify him when using an enemy MS, and his usual tactic of standing in place and unleashing More Dakka let Duo identify him as well. When Heero used the Heavyarms, Trowa outfitted it with a beam saber, which worked better for the former than the Heavyarms' default knife. When Quatre used a Taurus, he dual wields beam sabers. Wing Zero is an interesting example, since all the Gundam pilots have used it at one point or another, even Zechs. Heero, Quatre, Zechs, and Duo do not show significant difference in fighting style. Wufei tends to rely more on the beam saber and rarely used the Twin Buster Rifle's BFG mode, while Trowa dual wields the Twin Buster rifle like pistols. | |

Numerical Theme Naming | |
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_9b9d19fe | comment |
Numerical Theme Naming: For most of the cast. Heero gets the themeiest name of them all; Word of God from the character designer says it's based off of the words "hitotsu" (Japanese for "one" or "first"), "yuitsu" (Japanese for "alone" or "only"), and "hero", and was made to be evocative of the name "Amuro Ray". With Heero being First, the rest of the main cast follows the numerical naming: Duo (2, obvious), Trowa (homophone to the French pronounciation for 3 "Trois"), Quatre (French for 4), Chang Wufei (Wu is chinese for 5) and Zechs (homophone for Sechs, which is German for 6). The show in fact really likes naming characters using either the outright French word for a number (Quatre, Une (1), Treize (13), Quinze (15), Milliard (Billion)) or a homophone for one (Trowa, Trant (30)).

Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: The title card in the series' first opening, "Just Communication". It's the colony from the last episode where Une's speech on war is given, where the colony representatives are. In one scene in the second episode of the series, Quatre is looking out at the landscape and wondering if "They" know how beautiful the Earth really is. It sounds like sentimentality, but fast forward to Endless Waltz where we learn what Operation Meteor originally involved, and the line becomes a lot more chilling. | |

Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_a6aa5c35 | comment |
Fragile Flyer: The Aries are the aerial counterpart to the Leos, acting as the primary airborne Mooks of the series. Unlike the Leos, which can be equipped with either solid ammunition weapons like machine guns and bazookas or beam weapons like beam rifles in addition to a basic beam saber mounted in their shields, the Aries are armed with nothing more than a chaingun and missiles. In order to keep weight low, they also have less armour than the Leos. Notably, when Zechs Merquise leads a team to intercept the Wing Gundam as it enters Earth's atmosphere, Zech opts to pilot a Leo rather than an Aries despite the confrontation happening at high altitude. | |

Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_a7016efe | comment |
Lonely Rich Kid: Relena, so much. Most of her friends in the beginning of the series idolize and fawn over her, rather than simply treating her like normal. Once she becomes aware of her heritage, she begins to rely on Noin and her butler Pagan, but Noin is too busy fighting to be around for long periods of time. Dorothy exasperates Relena constantly, with her thirst for battle clashing against Relena's pacifistic ideals. She desperately wants Heero to stay by her side, but he considers himself too big a target and too dangerous to stay by her, so he sticks to the shadows. Her lone confidant is Pagan, but he is 50 years older than her and even that is taken away once she surrenders to the Romafeller Foundation. | |

You Know Too Much: Heero seems ready to shoot Relena when she returned from the space colony and kept pressing to know him more, until she mentions Doctor J, which startles him. He later saves her from some falling debris when OZ shows up to try and kill her. | |

Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy: It is shown most egregiously in a scene where a squad of Leos have two Gundams surrounded, while being a fairly short distance away. They all open fire at once... and completely fail to hit anything. The two pilots even have a short exchange of dialogue while their enemies fire enthusiastically in a circle around their feet. | |

N.G.O. Superpower: The Romefeller Foundation, a secret league of aristocrats who funded the Alliance and plotted to take over the world. They had enough clout to form The Specials, an elite mobile suit corps that served as the front for OZ. The Barton Foundation, which had ambitions to take over the world, and the resources to attempt to do it twice. | |

Alternate History | |
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_a86069f | comment |
Alternate History: It's mentioned that the After Colony calendar started with the first colony sent to space...in the 1970s.note Both the Americans (Skylab) and Soviets (Salyut) launched their first space stations in the 1970s. This could explain the Anachronism Stew down the line. Specifically, the diverge from our time came sometime in the 1950's, around the Cold War. | |

Not So Stoic: Heero laughed madly in many of the early episodes and was flabbergasted when he reflexively saved Relena in Episode 7. Trowa was shocked to find his own tears floating in his cockpit after destroying Deathscythe and after encountering a crazed Quatre in Wing Zero, he spent the entire battle pleading for the latter to come to his senses. | |

The 'machinegun' line is actually more a case of Small Reference Pools. 'Machineguns' is, in military terms, giving a warning shot. Zechs was ordering NOT to give Heero a warning shot and to shoot him down immediately, since he knew of the incoming Operation Meteor. Naturally, anyone that doesn't know that slang would be confused by this. In addition to that, the "Prince of the Stars" line is a reference to Zechs and Relena's Episode Zero chapter, so that's more a case of All There in the Manual than Lost in Translation. | |

Averted. In one episode Dorothy delivers a little speech comparing Heero Yuy the colonial leader to Heero Yuy the Gundam Pilot, to try and rile him up and make him reveal his identity. After she's done, he responds "I don't know what you're talking about. There must be at least two guys here named Heero Yuy besides me." This actually makes sense, seeing as how important and popular the original Heero Yuy was. | |

Abusive Parents: If a character's grandparents are shown in Frozen Teardrop's Flashbacks, they're guaranteed to be revealed at least Jerkasses. Treize's dragged their daughter away from her husband and forced her into a political marriage, while Relena's forced one of their daughters to live locked away in a single room with her cat as her only companion (and, to a lesser extent, made the other live with the Darlian family regardless of whether she wanted or not). | |

Retcon | |
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_b2280b66 | comment |
Retcon: According to Word of God, the fancy Hajime Katoki-designed Gundams from Endless Waltz aren't further Mid Season Upgrades but rather the exact same machines as Kunio Okawara's Mid Season Upgrades from the show. This has been emphasized by shifting their names from "Custom" (primarily used for models and toys) to "EW Version" or just "EW" (and occasionally "Ver. Ka", a common modifier for model kits based on Katoki's various redesigns, though in Wing context "Ver. Ka" is more typically used to refer to Katoki's redesigns of the original pre-upgrade versions of the Gundams). Glory of Losers makes this a little clearer, retelling the TV series' plot but using the Endless Waltz-styled Gundams throughout. Later on they brought back Okawara's Wing Zero, renamed Proto-Zero and designated the prototype for Katoki's angel-winged version. Originally the EW redesigns were problematic in that they removed several iconic weapons and key features (such as the Zero's wings described above), which made it hard to simply replace the originals with the new Katoki desgins (as per Word of God) without creating plotholes. Bandai and Sunrise rectified this by having Katoki redesign ALL of the suits from Wing for Glory of Losers to include all the features that were left off of the OVA versions and release them as Master Grade model kits (for instance, the new Heavyarms includes a flip-out knife on the right arm; a weapon that was left off the OVA design but played a critical role in several battles in the show.) The current EW lineup is now functionally the same as the one from the show, the suits are just more elegant and detailed and look a lot nicer. So, so many of these in Frozen Teardrop. For example... Quatre knows that his mother died giving birth to him (something he was never told in Episode Zero), and refuses to even consider getting married or having a relationship because he doesn't want his hypothetical wife to die just so he can have a child. (Never mind that In-Universe, Uterine Replicators and birth control exist.) Duo becomes a selfish, irresponsible Jerkass, when in the series, he (like the other Gundam pilots) was selfless to a fault. Catherine trains Trowa's Expy in the art of knife-fighting, when previously, she was an Absolute Pacifist after having lost her parents and been separated from her baby brother during the war. Trant Clark is revealed as Heero's Evil Uncle, when in-series, he had no relation to Heero. Trowa and Quatre work as engineers building Gundams, which the world isn't supposed to need anymore following the Eve Wars. (And which contradicts their desires for peace.) | |

Despite borrowing the five Gundam concept from Mobile Fighter G Gundam's Shuffle Alliance (which were Super Robots, by the way), and being built out of a fictional metal, the six Gundams used in this series were much more bound to the laws of physics and thus more grounded in reality. As such, they would require tons of maintenance, repairs, and logistics like any other real robot. | |

Vanilla Unit: The Leo is the most ubiquitous Mobile Suit in the series. They can be equipped with solid ammunition or beam weapons, and both terrestrial and space-borne versions exist, but there's nothing special about them other than their ease of production and use. OZ utilises them as their most basic forces, with other more specialised Mobile Suits being used for specific missions (e.g. the Cancers are designed for marine warfare, the Aries are meant for aerial combat). So numerous are the Leos that they appear all the way up to the finale, despite being dramatically outmatched by the Taurus and Virgo II Mobile Dolls that make up their main opposition. | |

Transforming Mecha: Both Wing and Wing Zero can transform into "bird" modes, which allow for faster atmospheric travel. Epyon's Neo Bird transformation, while somewhat pointless in story, is dead identical to that of the Hambrabi from Zeta Gundam, possibly constituting a Shout-Out. The Pisces and Cancer grunt suits can transform from submarine to robot modes. The Taurus suits can transform into a space jet mode. Unlike all of the other transformations, this one is liberally used in space as well as on Earth. | |

Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_b7920c43 | comment |
Lost in Translation: The infamous "No machinegun for him!"; more egregious but lesser known is "Prince of the Stars". The 'machinegun' line is actually more a case of Small Reference Pools. 'Machineguns' is, in military terms, giving a warning shot. Zechs was ordering NOT to give Heero a warning shot and to shoot him down immediately, since he knew of the incoming Operation Meteor. Naturally, anyone that doesn't know that slang would be confused by this. In addition to that, the "Prince of the Stars" line is a reference to Zechs and Relena's Episode Zero chapter, so that's more a case of All There in the Manual than Lost in Translation. "Prince of the Stars" is the Japanese title for The Little Prince, which actually is an apt comparison since from Relena's perspective, Heero is a boy from space who rode a "shooting star" (his Gundam) to come to Earth. "Prince of the Stars" just makes her sound kind of ditzy. In some newer versions, the "Prince of the Stars" has been changed to "Is he a 'Little Prince'?" which clears at least that particular issue up. The English dub is actually riddled with all sorts of weird translation mistakes and lines that just don't seem to make sense the way they're said. And in a plot this complicated... God help you if you want to understand it through the first viewing. | |

Empathic Weapon: Several of the Gundams show signs of intelligence over the course of the series.

Heero also often addresses Wing Zero as though it were intelligent and capable of holding a conversation. Overlaps into Evil Weapon whenever the ZERO System gets involved, especially with Epyon. | |

Market-Based Title: Until 2002's Gundam SEED, only Universal Century shows used "Mobile Suit (Kidou Senshi)" in the Japanese title; the other Alternate Universe shows had their own pre-titles. The original for this series is Shin Kidou Senki Gundam Wing, the first part translated as "New Mobile Report", "New Mobile History", or "New Mobile War Chronicle" in various sourcebooks. The decision to use "Mobile Suit" may have been to avoid the headache of all these conflicting translations, or to tie it closer with the older series. | |

Robot War | |
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_bb44f503 | comment |
Robot War: Of sorts. The Virgo mobile dolls are drone mobile suits that become the mainstay of the Dermail/Romefeller OZ faction roughly halfway through the show. Their frightening power managed to nearly completely destroy Treize's faction, until the Gundam pilots intervened and wrecked the lunar factory that was building them. This slightly eases the situation, but it is quite obvious that there still are at least a few more of these factories. And then Zechs manages to take control of them through a gullible Dorothy.... Overall, the concept of fighting drones has been cited as one of the very best plot points of Wing, and it only became more frightening when actual armies started using drones en masse in the 21st century... | |

School Grade Hacking: A slight variant occurs in the second episode: Heero, who is using Relena's school as a cover, hacks into a school computer both to set up torpedoes to destroy his Gundam and clear his financial situation with the school, though a card is used with the latter. | |

Upgrade vs. Prototype Fight | |
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_bc0346e2 | comment |
Upgrade vs. Prototype Fight: The Tallgeese is an in-universe Super Prototype from which all other mobile suit designs originated, but was deemed too dangerous for the pilot and became nothing more than a museum exhibit and collector's curiosity. When the Gundams start raising hell of all kinds, the bad guys decide to Break Out the Museum Piece. The Tallgeese proves itself quite capable on the battlefield repeatedly afterwards with a good pilot inside it. The Wing Gundam Zero is a subversion in that in-universe its design is 15 years old, but the suit wasn't built until during the series because the engineers originally thought it was too dangerous to build. The plans instead were passed on to each of the scientists and each made modifications to form the 5 subsequent Gundams. Its first major battle pitted it against a pair of mobile suits built to surpass the original five Gundams and it was ultimately used against the Epyon, which was built based on combat data of the original five. | |

If anything, Heero's death threats seem to be either a warning for people to stay the hell away from him (Relena in episode 1) or an attempt to convince himself that killing people he's come to care about (see: Relena, Duo, Quatre) is the only option; the fact that it always fails shows that he's got a heart. | |

Maybe Zechs and Treize? Treize sounds like he is coming out in episode eighteen "come back to me Zechs." Further supported by the fact that the manga hints that a young Zechs went to live with Treize's family after the fall of Sanc. So they've probably been living together since they were young teenagers, at least. | |

Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: Heero is especially against working with anyone else, refusing to allow Relena to be involved with him as long as possible and spending the first few episodes trying to ignore Duo as best he can. Eventually, he comes around. Wufei isn't opposed to teaming up, but he prefers doing his own thing. That is, until his colony is destroyed. After that, he makes it perfectly clear he has no intention on working with the other Gundam pilots until Quatre knocks him out of it. | |

Self-Destruct Mechanism | |
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_c69ae9b2 | comment |
Self-Destruct Mechanism: Used very frequently throughout the series. All of the Gundams come equipped with one. Heero and Quatre successfully use them on Wing and Sandrock respectively, though both are rebuilt later on. Duo attempts this after Deathscythe defeated out in space, but the trigger mechanism doesn't work. Trowa attempted to self-destruct in Heavyarms early in the series, but is stopped by Catherine. When he and Heero fight Quatre in Wing Zero, Trowa flies away before his suit can explode. Later on, Quatre self-destructs Mercurius in order to cause damage to the Lunar Base and destroy Wing Zero, but only accomplishes the former. Zechs then self-destructs the Tallgeese once it becomes outclassed and he moves over to Wing Zero. Lady Une attempts to kill the Gundam pilots at New Edwards by causing one of the underground missiles to explode, which would cause a chain reaction and blow everything for miles away. Wufei is the only Gundam Pilot to not try and self-destruct during the main series. | |

Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: A rather surprising one, at that; according to Word of God, Zechs' mask is modeled on the one from Phantom of the Paradise. Gundanium's official designation is Gundarium Theta, making it a distant relative of the Luna Titanium used to build the original Gundam. Much like the original Gundam, Wing's Gundams seem all but indestructible when up against normal heavy artillery or blunt force. However, unlike the original, Gundanium seems to have a degree of resistance to heavier artillery and beam weaponry as well. And let's not forget that one of the Gundam scientists is name Doctor J. | |

Bait-and-Switch Credits | |
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_c76b215e | comment |
Bait-and-Switch Credits: The first opening has Duo, Quatre, and Wufei in much more elaborate outfits than what they wear in the show. Duo and Wufei's outfits are closer to The Same, but More Specific, since their outfits are the same, just with fancy gold emblems pasted on. Quatre wears a sleeveless blue shirt, scarf, and slacks as opposed to his normal outfit, which is ironic given he has the most elaborate default clothing of the Gundam pilots. Trowa inverts this, as he wears the same clown outfit he does in the show. | |

Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_c7b5445c | comment |
Cool Starship: Although Wing was quite scarce in iconic vessels compared to other series, it nonetheless introduced the Peacemillion - arguably the largest starship in the entirety of the franchise with an overall wingspan of 3000 meters. Definitely not something to sneeze at. Then in the later episodes, the series one-upped itself with the 3500-meter colony-sized battleship Libra. There is also the dark blue OZ carrier plane that appears in several episodes, typically piloted by Noin to transport the Gundams. It comes equipped with a strong laser that can even overwhelm the Virgo's shields. The ship eventually re-appeared piloted by Heero and Duo in Endless Waltz. | |

Attentive Shade Lowering: Happens a few times in one scene in episode 23 without hands. Duo complains about a news broadcast he's listening to that praises how OZ has been helping the colonies build up their defenses, and states that OZ was responsible for putting the fear of war in the colonies in the first place. When Hilde (who doesn't know him yet) appears in front of him and tells him that's not true, he lets his shades fall and looks up over them at her. The next face shot has then back up as their discussion continues considering he's trying to keep a low profile, then they fall down in surprise when she hands him a paper and suggests he apply to the next OZ military exam. Once she's gone, he pushes them back up in amusement, saying he'll be there. | |

Sociopathic Soldier | |
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_ce70175b | comment |
Sociopathic Soldier: Several on all sides. At the beginning of the series before their Character Development, the Gundam pilots are misanthropic loners that can kill people without a second thought. Quatre seems to be the only one that regrets having to kill people. In Episode 12, Wufei and Sally take on a trio of Alliance soldiers that started trashing a restaurant because the shopkeeper dared to ask them to pay for the food they ate. They then try and justify it by saying that they protect the country, so what right does the shopkeeper have? Their commander isn't any better, deposing the country's original, peace-advocating leader and eventually conspiring to hand the country over to OZ. There's also Alex and Mueller, two OZ pilots Zechs killed for breaching war etiquette by firing at surrendering enemies. One of them even has an Evil Laugh. | |

Uncanny Family Resemblance: Relena is recognized at a dinner party by an old friend of her family's due to her resemblance to her biological mother, Katrina. We never see her mother, so we just have Weridge's word on this. Frozen Teardrop shows that as a teenager Katrina looked identical to her future daughter (and on top of that, so did her twin sister Sabrina); of course, this also fits with the novel's extensive use of Generation Xerox. | |

Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_d10d5eb5 | comment |
Made of Indestructium: The Gundams got their name partially from the Gundanium alloy armor used in their construction. While in most Gundam series the Gundam is fitted with a lightweight but very durable armor that lets them resist most infantry weaponry, the Gundams in this show are extremely durable even by Gundam standards, contributing to their reputation as near unstoppable. Operation: Meteor was built around just the five gundams being able to beat the entire OZ military into submission. The only way to combat them is in close quarters with another Gundam or a mobile suit on semi-equal footing like the Talgeese, or somehow being able to overwhelm just one with a continuous assault. | |

Improbable Age | |
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_d33456e7 | comment |
Improbable Age: The Gundam Pilots are all 15. Some of them were doing this kind of thing even earlier than that. Possibly even more improbable is that Zechs, Lucrezia, and Une are only 19 and Treize is 24, despite them all acting and looking like they're in their late 20s to early 30s. Frozen Teardrop acknowledges the very young age of most of the characters, and attempts an explanation: since medical technology had increased the human lifespan, the world's leaders had no reason to give any authority to their children, and indeed fought and "oppressed" that generation so they could keep their power. By the time they were ready to retire, their grandchildren were just starting to come of age, and the 2nd generation was too stagnant and unused to wielding power that they thought it would be better to hand power to the bright young minds of the 3rd generation. | |

When Trowa used Wing, he held the Buster Rifle like an actual rifle instead of shooting it like a pistol like Heero usually does. He also dual wields the Taurus' default beam rifle and cannon. In Endless Waltz, his signature jump flip enabled Heero to identify him when using an enemy MS, and his usual tactic of standing in place and unleashing More Dakka let Duo identify him as well. | |

Unobtainium: The Gundanium alloy used to build the five Gundams. The reason for this is because Gundanium alloy is rare, expensive, and can only be synthesized in space. The Gundam scientists were the only people who had knowledge of how to synthesize it, up until they were captured by OZ and forced to synthesize it to build the Super Prototypes Mercurius and Vayeate, both of which eventually spawned the mass-produced Virgo mobile dolls. | |

Sliding Scale of Robot Intelligence | |
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_db8a9d51 | comment |
Sliding Scale of Robot Intelligence: The pilotless mobile dolls fall somewhere at the brick level, a problem when they're all armed to the teeth. Heero easily tricks a group into attacking their own battalion, including suits parked in the hanger, and then into just firing at anyone in a spacesuit. Somewhat averted with their successors, the Virgo IIs, whose AI software was constantly developed, especially with the adoption of the ZERO System into the Mobile Doll program. This proved to be very challenging for even the Gundam pilots. | |

A Million Is a Statistic | |
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_dd082289 | comment |
A Million Is a Statistic: Played with. The Gundam pilots alone slaughter thousands of Alliance and OZ troops throughout the series, OZ kills a bunch of Alliance troops once they take over, and the White Fang get in on the action in the final arc, with the intention of wiping out everyone on Earth. However, aside from Heero accidentally killing Marshal Noventa and Treize reciting the death count to Wufei, these deaths rarely get acknowledged by the people doing the killing. Even with the examples, it's ONLY Noventa to gets the remorse, not all the other pacifists Heero slaughtered. Late in in the series, Wufei returns to his home colony, only for OZ to attack searching for him. So as to not provide a distraction, his clan self-destructs the entire colony, killing millions of innocent civilians. Wufei grieves for his dead clan, but not for the other residents. Noin and Quatre make a big deal about protecting the Sanc Kingdom's residents and civilians from getting killed, but not even five minutes after Relena surrenders, they're already making plans to head out into space, without once acknowledging the regular residents of the Kingdom or even rallying the leftover troops. | |

Friend to All Living Things: Despite being a terrorist, Trowa seems to get along with the animals of his circus very well. One of his first episodes has him fearlessly reaching for a caged lion, which acts like a kitty towards him after some seconds as he explains that it's all about showing fear. One often ignored scene has Heero playing fetch with a pair of dogs while smiling, and encouraging Quatre to do the same. Relena is also implied to have this trope in the ending where she's around various animals. Including rhinos, which remarkably do not gore her for pulling on their tails to set up a photo op. | |

Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_e71d66e | comment |
Don't Sneak Up on Me Like That!: This happens if a pilot loses control of the ZERO System: maddened by the visions, he tries to clear his head by getting rid of all possible threats, and the system obediently keeps finding him new targets. There was at least one case where the pilot's allies had to abandon the attempts of calming him down and quickly vacate the area. | |

Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_e824190a | comment |
Grand Theft Prototype: Wouldn't be Gundam without them: Once the Gundam pilots go back out into space, Sally runs around the world trying to collect the Gundams they left behind. She helps the Maguanac Corps swipe Sandrock, then teams up with Noin to grab Wing Gundam. In Episode 34, when Zechs steals the Wing Zero from OZ before they got a chance to destroy it. When the rebel faction White Fang captured OZ's Lunar Base, which, at the time of the raid, was developing the Virgo II mobile dolls. They also captured OZ's battleship Libra, which became their base of operations. After stealing critical data on Libra, Hilde did a Taurusjack and escaped the battleship, before she was attacked by the mobile doll versions of Mercurius and Vayete, which were programmed with Heero and Trowa's combat data, respectively. She was saved by Duo. In Episode 47, when Zechs was about to fire Libra's main cannon at Treize, Lady Une wakes up from her coma and steals the Wing Gundam. Une then knocks Treize out of the way and takes the blast for him. Only the lower body was destroyed, and she survived. | |

The Team | |
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_ea08e9 | comment |
The five Gundam pilots are also this to The Team from G Gundam. Heero, like Domon, is the best all around fighter and able to perform superhuman feats not thought possible. Duo, like Chibodee, is the comic relief and Butt-Monkey, with a dash of Hot-Blooded in there. Trowa, like George, is calm and stoic most of the time. The two also have similar hairstyles. Quatre, like Argo, prefers peaceful resolution and tends to be the most in-tune with other people's feelings. Wufei, like Sai Saichi, is a Warrior Monk, distinctly Asian, and both his Gundams utilize extendable arms. | |

You Are Number 6 | |
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_ea6f361f | comment |
You Are Number 6: Nearly every character in the show is named after a number, though in various different languages. OZ troops generally refer to the Gundams by numbers, which were assigned by the order in which they were first reliably spotted, due to the fact that they spend most of the series not knowing what the actual names of the units are. The Gundam pilots also refer to each other by the number OZ gave their Gundams when in captivity. | |

Ineffectual Death Threats | |
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_eb0a92ca | comment |
Ineffectual Death Threats: Heero is pretty much the patron saint of this trope; if he threatens someone with death, you can bet top dollar he won't go through with it. If anything, Heero's death threats seem to be either a warning for people to stay the hell away from him (Relena in episode 1) or an attempt to convince himself that killing people he's come to care about (see: Relena, Duo, Quatre) is the only option; the fact that it always fails shows that he's got a heart. | |

Big Damn Heroes | |
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_eb81c601 | comment |
Big Damn Heroes: Happens a lot. Quatre and his troops first bail out Trowa after he runs out of ammo and becomes surrounded by Alliance soldiers. Wufei saves Sally and her rebel troops twice, then later on bails out Duo and Quatre as they are overwhelmed trying to get back into space. Doctor J first saves Relena from being assassinated by Lady Une, then protects the Gundam pilots as they escape into space. Lady Une herself bails out Duo, Wufei, and the Gundam scientists when she rebels against Tsubarov's forces on the Lunar Base. Quatre tries to do this to Heero once they get back to Earth, but Noin ultimately claims this by dropping off Wing's Buster Rifle. Heero is this constantly during the Sanc Kingdom arc, saving either Relena or various Treize Faction soldiers. Noin, Quatre, and some Treize Faction troopers also get this when Romefeller tries to assassinate Relena. Zechs attempts this when the Sanc Kingdom is invaded, but he's too late. Duo saved Quatre, Trowa, and Noin when they're attacked by OZ troops who think they're a part of White Fang. Quatre himself is this once he activates the ZERO System in Sandrock. Finally, Heero finishes things out by appearing just in the nick of time to blow up the last piece of Libra from hitting Earth. | |

One-Steve Limit: Averted. In one episode Dorothy delivers a little speech comparing Heero Yuy the colonial leader to Heero Yuy the Gundam Pilot, to try and rile him up and make him reveal his identity. After she's done, he responds "I don't know what you're talking about. There must be at least two guys here named Heero Yuy besides me." This actually makes sense, seeing as how important and popular the original Heero Yuy was. The name "Catherine" pops up in several different forms throughout the series and its spin-offs: Cathy Bloom (Trowa's "sister"), Katrina Peacecraft (Relena's birth mother), Katherine/Quatrina Winner (Quatre's mother), and in Frozen Teardrop Kathy Po (Sally's daughter) and Katrina Oud Winner (Quatre's younger sister, named for their mother). | |

Locked Out of the Loop | |
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_f06b07ff | comment |
Locked Out of the Loop: The five Gundam pilots are sent to Earth independently without being told of the existence of the others, and only realize there are other Gundam pilots when they run into each other during missions by chance. Had they been briefed and trained to operate as a unit, things likely would have gone a lot differently. This was a side effect of the Earth Alliance restricting travel and communication between colonies, which prevented the five teams who designed the Gundams and trained the pilots from coordinating with each other. | |

Your Terrorists Are Our Freedom Fighters: In many ways, this is the crux of the show's first half — the Gundam pilots are fighting an oppressive regime, but while their primary targets are Alliance weapons and military installations, they are under orders to murder any witnesses. Comes back again near the end of the series with White Fang. They ostensibly have the same goal as the Gundams; to free the colonies, but at this point they're the villains, unintentionally enacting the original Operation Meteor. | |

Traveling at the Speed of Plot: When the final battle is about to begin, Treize challenges Zechs to a duel to settle things. Zechs decides to cut out the middle man and fires Libra's main cannon instead. After giving the order to fire, Lady Une, who was in a coma at the time, wakes up, rushes out of her hospital bed, changes into a space suit, hijacks Wing Gundam, flies into space (which it is somehow able to do now, when it couldn't earlier in the series), and knocks Treize out of the way seconds before the giant laser obliterates him. | |

Hover Tank | |
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_f37bf401 | comment |
While most mass-produced mobile suits are named after Zodiac constellations, not all names are direct; the Hover Tank Tragos (Greek for "goat") is a stand-in for Capricorn, while the Gundam Aesculapius/Asklepos from G-Unit represents the "13th constellation" Ophiuchus (Aesculapius is the man holding the serpent in the constellationnote The serpent part of Ophiuchus is represented by the Serpent mobile suits from Endless Waltz). The only constellation not represented in any of the original media is Sagittarius (which appears in Frozen Teardrop as a Land Battleship in the pre-Operation Meteor era). | |

Enemy Civil War: Two examples in this series: The first between the United Earth Sphere Alliance and OZ. OZ ultimately ends up winning and either forcing them to surrender, or destroying the last remnants of any holding out. Later within OZ itself between the Treize Faction and Romefeller, which occurred largely because Treize was against Romefeller's use of unmanned combat drones that minimized the sacrifices that human soldiers made in war. | |

It isn't until Quatre gets Wing Zero that the team is able to make their move. | |

Artistic License – Physics: Averted with Wufei's flamethrowers, as fire can spread in weightlessness and burn without oxygen. Played straight with Shenlong's and Altron's extendable arms. In detailed shots (and on the model kits), they can only extend out about double the arm's length. In actual fight scenes, both suits magically grow as many sections as needed. Altron is especially gratuitous, as its debut shot shows it extending its arms out about ten segments each! | |

Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_fd94c4ac | comment |
Theme Naming: The main characters are named after numbers, which also extends to Zechs ("six") AKA Milliardo ("million") and Treize ("thirteen"). While most mass-produced mobile suits are named after Zodiac constellations, not all names are direct; the Hover Tank Tragos (Greek for "goat") is a stand-in for Capricorn, while the Gundam Aesculapius/Asklepos from G-Unit represents the "13th constellation" Ophiuchus (Aesculapius is the man holding the serpent in the constellationnote The serpent part of Ophiuchus is represented by the Serpent mobile suits from Endless Waltz). The only constellation not represented in any of the original media is Sagittarius (which appears in Frozen Teardrop as a Land Battleship in the pre-Operation Meteor era). OZ, for its part, stands for Organization of the Zodiac. The theme naming even extends to the Spin-Off media: Odin Lowe from Episode Zero and Adin/Odin Barnett from G-Unit/Last Outpost both derive their names from the Russian word for "one", while the little-known mini-manga Tiel's Impulse stars Tiel Nombreux, whose surname is French for "numerous". | |

In Episode 12, Wufei and Sally take on a trio of Alliance soldiers that started trashing a restaurant because the shopkeeper dared to ask them to pay for the food they ate. They then try and justify it by saying that they protect the country, so what right does the shopkeeper have? Their commander isn't any better, deposing the country's original, peace-advocating leader and eventually conspiring to hand the country over to OZ. | |

Mobile Suit Gundam Wing / int_ff0cea73 | comment |
Diving Save: The moment Treize is fired upon by the Libra's super laser courtesy of Milliardo, Lady Une, in record time, wakes up, grabs the Wing Gundam, flies straight into ground zero and pulls this on Treize's Tallgeese II, saving him at the expense of the Wing Gundam getting massively totalled. Une survives, miraculously. | |

Talking Is a Free Action: In the midst of intense duels and firefights, the pilots often wax philosophical on life, war, destiny, and the nature of mankind. In one episode, Trowa analyzes enemy tactics and strategy in real time. | |

Heero tries to kill himself three times in the series and once in Episode Zero. Not to mention, many of his other actions indicate a desire to die. | |
