* CharClone:
** Initially uses a customized version of Char's Zaku II from ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam''. He even has the nickname ''Crimson Comet'', a play on Char's ''Red Comet'' moniker. That nickname is also a reference to a CharClone from the VideoGame/SuperRobotWars series (Sleigh Prestly), who uses the same moniker but with a different translation (They're both 紅彗星, but in Sleigh's case, it's translated as "Scarlet Comet").
** Gets a pair of CoolShades similar to [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Quattro Bajeena's]] after taking the alias [[spoiler:Meijin Kawaguchi]].



* LegacyCharacter: His CharClone moniker is Meijin Kawaguchi III, after the real-life Gunpla building expert. Yuuki got roped in to replace Meijin Kawaguchi II, who fell ill and was unable to participate in the Gunpla Battle World Championship.

* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Easily fights his way through a horde of bodyguards to reach Chairman Mashita. The three thugs who threaten Reiji might have gotten a hit on his wrist but the next episode reveals he easily defeated all three of them single-handedly.



* BecomingTheMask: He initially viewed Gunpla and the tournament as a means to further his goals, but during his battle [[spoiler: with Sei and Reiji]] he truly gains a passion for it.

* BreakTheHaughty: [[spoiler:A minor version. After having spent all of his battles curb-stomping his oppenents with his Astray and acting like Gunpla Battle doesn't really matter to him, the damage Reiji inflicts on Nils' Sengoku Astray gives him a severe shock and in the second round pushes him into ItsPersonal.]]

* NotSoAboveItAll: The Renato brothers come off as seeing Gunpla fights as a war and only wanted to defeat the Meijin. The twins and their third brother in episode 4 of ''Battlogue'' shows them still treating Gunpla as warfare but they all are playing for leisure and clearly enjoying themselves.

* {{Irony}}: Sei is very good at making Gunpla, and his father was a world champion-level Gunpla Battler... but Sei himself has crap reflexes, so he has to rely upon someone else to "pilot" his machines, while he is relegated to MissionControl.
** Well... at first, anyway. [[spoiler: By Episode 23, that ends, and Episode 25 shows him being just as badass as Reiji.]] It also turns out that the reason his reflexes were crap was because of his subconscious desiring to avoid too much damage in his creation.

* TookALevelInBadass: In Episode 23, [[spoiler:he has a free battle against Reiji and manages to hold his own, thanks in part to Reiji's skills being balanced out by the Build Mk-II being a superior model to his straight-build Beginning Gundam.]] [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by Mao, who remarks that anyone who's participated in the World Championship, even with a partner, is bound to improve.
** In Episode 25, [[spoiler: he fights Meijin III to a standstill, and would probably have won.]]

* ScarsAreForever: Not on him, but on his Wing Gundam Fenice. It has noticeable damage on its head and its left shoulder armor is missing. He could've fixed them at any time but decides not to, as they are proof of the long history of battles he and his prized gunpla had gone through.

* LoopholeAbuse: In the third round of World Tournament, where everyone is only allowed to a weapon that is chosen at random, he ends up with a rather useless paint gun while his opponent gets a massive hammer. As he gleefully points out after the fact, the rules never said they couldn't steal the opponent's weapon and use it against them.
