* DecompositeCharacter: Monsha's role in the series is divided between him and Dick Allen. Monsha retains much of his character, but he's introduced into the Albion crew much later and his scenes and the desire to pilot Unit 1 are taken up by Allen. Right as Allen departs the ship, Monsha rushes in to fill the void and resume his old role.

* HeroicSacrifice: Much in the vein of Ryu from the original ''Gundam'', [[spoiler:Allen]] sacrifices himself by kamikazeing his core fighter into the charging blast of a Zeon Mobile Armor, saving the Albion crew at the cost of his life.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: Lt. Dick Allen was killed in ''Stardust Memory'' when a Dom fired a bazooka round straight through his cockpit. In ''Rebellion'' the rocket strikes his backpack from further back and he survives. Allen would go on to accompany the Albion crew for more of the story and [[spoiler:dies much later during the fight to stop the HLV from launching at the Zeon base in Africa]].

* PutOnABus: Unlike the original OVA, Nina is not there to greet Kou along with Keith and Mora after he's released from prison following the deletion of the Gundam Project Data, although he briefly hallucinates that she is. Instead Nina chooses to move on with her life, and it's implied she never reunites with Kou.

Kick The Dog is about a villainous act done purely for the purpose of showing a character to be a bad person. Layzner willingly sided with a bunch of fascist terrorists, killed dozens of Fed pilots, and would have been ok with a colony drop if he hadn't thought it was targeting his home on the moon.

* HotBlodded: This gets some 'Deconstruction' at some points in the series. If there's a knock about Kou as a pilot is that he tends to be reckless when he lets his emotions get the better of him at times, causing a few characters to give him advice to get him to calm down, and think the situation through. It serves him well ocassionally, but that also works against him.

[[folder:Bernard Monsha]]

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Monsha, much like in the ''Super Robot Wars'' games, is softened from his original ornery portrayal. He's still a boisterous loud mouth, but ''Rebellion'' cuts his lecherousness down and removes the scenes of him sexually harassing his coworkers and trying to look up Nina's skirt with his GM's camera. Him endangering Kou by tampering with his landing of a Core Fighter is done by Allen instead. Monsha's relationship with Kou is also much less personal and hostile; he doesn't like Uraki, but he doesn't zero in on him nearly as much as in the source material.
* DecompositeCharacter: Monsha's role in the series is divided between him and Dick Allen. Monsha retains much of his character, but he's introduced into the Albion crew much later and his scenes and the desire to pilot Unit 1 are taken up by Allen. Right as Allen departs the ship, Monsha rushes in to fill the void and resume his old role.

He's also the one that screws with the terminal to get Kou to crash his fighter rather than Monsha; all to make Kou look incompetent.

With the side material integrated into the story telling this time around, Cima's actions are depicted in a much more sympathetic light and she's shown to have more loyalty towards her comrades. ''Rebellion'' also cuts out [[spoiler:her ordering Kult out on a suicide mission and damaging Burning's GM, leading to his death]], both kills instead given to Kelly.
