**** And now, he is becoming [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED Jesus]] [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny Yamato]]
**** In Episode 41, he tries to become [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Setsuna F. Seiei]]
** Yurin is a homage to [[Anime/AfterWarGundamX Tiffa Adill]] [[spoiler:and [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Lalah Sune]] as well as [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Anew Returner]].]]
** Emily is [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Frau Bau]].
*** For all the initial [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Fa Yuiry]] likeness, Romary Stone behaves much more like [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam0083StardustMemory Nina Purpleton]].
** Woolf Enneacle acts like [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam0083StardustMemory Bernard Monsha]]. He also takes the role of [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Slegger Law, Ryu Jose]] and [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED Mu La Flaga]].
** The two warring factions in Fardain fight against each other, with Zalam using [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Zakus]] and Euba [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Gelgoogs]]. Even the Zalam space suits resemble strongly Zakus, too.
*** Zalam = [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Zeon]], and Euba = [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Titans]].
** Desil Galette is a child version of [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Ali Al-Saachez]] or, depending on how you look at it, [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Yazan Gable]].
** X-Rounders are like [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Newtypes]] with a different name. No Gundam-series is complete without them.
** Zeheart Galette, [[CharClone he is a CHAR]] (and to a lesser extent, an [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSeed Athrun]]/a [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam0083StardustMemory Gato]] as well).
*** And now he bears similar characteristics to [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Treize]], by remembering each and every men killed in action.
** Fram Nara bears a striking resemblance to young [[GundamZZ Haman Karn]] from ''Char's Deleted Affair'', with Framfarsia as her [[GundamZZ Qubeley]].
** The UE [[spoiler:are revealed to resemble traditional villains in SuperRobotGenre shows. By episode 15, however, their motivations for fighting uncannily resemble that for Zeon.]]
** The Bisidian Pirates are likely a nod to [[Manga/MobileSuitCrossboneGundam Crossbone Vanguard]].
*** Ash's second-in-command Raddock is the spitting image of pirate/bandit Antares from GalaxyExpress999.
** During the Third Generation, the Diva carries three children on it, much like [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Katz, Letz, and Kikka]]. And Wendy is assigned to take care of them, making her the Fraw Bow.
** The Phantom 3 are expies of the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Black Tri-Stars]]. They even have their
own page.
equivalent of the [[AttackPatternAlpha Jet Stream Attack]].
** We're even given an expy for a ''place''. Roustroulan, the Federation's HQ on Earth, is one to [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Jaburo]], down to the location.
** The Gundam [[spoiler:AGE-2]] Dark Hound is painted mostly black, has a lance that doubles as a beam rifle, grappling hooks, and an overall pirate motif. Sounds like the [[Manga/MobileSuitCrossboneGundam Crossbone Gundam X-2]], doesn't it?
** [[spoiler:The Gundam Legilis has a face plate identical to that of [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam0083StardustMemory GP-02 Physalis]], a body to that of [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Wing Gundam]], and a goggle mask that resembles that of [[VirtualOn Temjin.]]]]
** The AGE-FX is more of a Love-Child between the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack Nu Gundam/Hi-Nu Gundam]] and the [[Film/Gundam00AWakeningOfTheTrailblazer 00-Qan[T]]].
