History Anime / MobileFighterGGundam

* CharClone:
** Schwarz Bruder is a Type II clone, being a mysterious mentor figure to Domon and having his own agenda.
** Ulube is a Type III clone who, compared to Master-Asia's somewhat antivillainous intentions, has no remorse whatsoever in corrupting everyone and everything into Devil Gundam drones.
** Master Asia, whose motivation is similar to Char's in ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack Char's Counterattack]]'', and who is Domon's original [[TheMentor mentor]].

%%** Allenby

%%* AloofBigBrother: Kyoji Kasshu.

* EiffelTowerEffect: Numerous national landmarks are used to establish location--these landmarks are usually in a sad state of disrepair. The Eiffel Tower itself, for instance, is bent over almost double.

%%* FourGirlEnsemble: Chibodee's Angels, of course.

In 2010, as part of a project to revive interest in the Alternate Universe ''Gundam'' stories, an updated manga retelling of the series titled ''Choukyuu! G Gundam'' began serialization in ''Gundam Ace''.

* XanatosGambit: Some strategies during the Gundam Fight. For example [[spoiler:Kyral Mekirel decided to assinate his opponents before the match. If he succeeds, great, he wins by default the next day. If he fails, he'll fight as normal with insight on how his opponent will react to his style.]]

''Mobile Fighter G Gundam'' (''Kidou Butouden G Gundam'', lit. "Mobile Fighting Legend G Gundam") is the first AlternateUniverse in the ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'' franchise. Notable as a significant departure from the normal ''Gundam'' saga in that it was essentially a {{Super Robot|Genre}} show. Every ''Gundam'' series before and after has been essentially the prime examples of the RealRobotGenre. ''G Gundam'' has only a few mild relations to the other series besides the name "Gundam." It also takes a lot of inspiration from the {{shonen}} genre. Part of this radical change is that Creator/YoshiyukiTomino set aside series director duties after being burned out on ''Anime/MobileSuitVictoryGundam'', and so they instead got Yasuhiro Imagawa to do the job. You know, the guy who did ''Anime/GiantRobo'', ''[[Anime/ShinMazinger Shin Mazinger Z]]'', the first 3 episodes of ''[[Manga/GetterRobo Getter Robo Armageddon]]'', etc. The result was a series less like traditional Gundam, and more like a classic SuperRobot series of yore. Bandai also demanded a ''Gundam'' tournament story in an attempt to increase gunpla sales, which were doing poorly at the time. This was also noteworthy as the first Gundam series made after the toy company Bandai bought Sunrise.

* AIIsACrapshoot: [[spoiler:the Devil Gundam, originally named the Ultimate Gundam, was ''intended'' to be used to restore the Earth after the damage it'd taken from the Gundam battles. All it takes is a simple mechanical malfunction for the thing to interpret this ultimatum as "wipe out all humans."]]
* AintNoRule: The Gundam Fight Tournament rules are rather sparse, and mainly concern themselves with the conduct of Gundam Fighters towards other Gundam Fighters while both are in their Gundams. There is a frightening lack of rules in regards to attacking Gundam Fighters when they ''aren't'' in their Gundams, not to mention civilian bystanders, property damage, and sabotage from third parties who aren't officially part of a Gundam Fighter crew. To make it worse, after sixty years and thirteen tournaments, there's no reason why they couldn't have applied some rule patches by now, but it's pretty obvious that the people in charge just don't ''care''.

* LoopholeAbuse: It is against the rules to attack the center area of an opposing Gundam, as that is where the pilot cockpit is located. Intentionally disqualifying the opponent by destroying the Gundam head, however, is fair game. During the Finals, Wong announced that the cockpit rules can be nullified.

* MagicalGirlWarrior: Takes many conventions from the genre. A group of friends must save the world from an evil monster, they go through a stock transformation sequence to gain incredible powers, eventually the power of friendship and love (literally) saves the day.
* MagicalSecurityCam: When Domon, Allenby and Wong meet for the first time, Wong starts summarizing Domon's life story while a holographic video screen pops up behind him. Said video screen not only plays a clip from one of Domon's flashbacks where he's in the wilderness with Master Asia and nobody else should've been around to record it, but it also opens with a clip from the '' series' first OP''.

* RobotClown: The Jester Gundam is a clown-themed mech. Aside from its white face and colorful armor, its most powerful attack is "Top Mode", where it transforms into a giant spinning top to [[ConfusionFu create illusions and confuse enemies]].
