** The Neo-Mexican Tequila/Spike Gundam is an infamous example: it has a sombrero and moustache and fights using fishing tridents, feeding into stereotypes about poor Mexican peasants and fishermen. But the story ''around'' Chico Rodriguez, the Neo-Mexican Gundam fighter, is a tragedy, with the government trying to forcibly conscript him into being a pilot using his terminally-ill sister's longing to see Earth again as collateral, and his mastery of the fishing-spear is treated as a 100% serious martial art by the other characters, so the story itself is sincere even if the trappings aren't.

* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: Some of the Gundam designs are freaking ''surreal''. The director himself said that he was ''giggling'' while giving a few of them to the animators (at least the Skull and Ashura Gundams have a legitimate excuse: they were sent in by kids in a viewer contest).

* NotBadassEnoughForFans: Rain had the misfortune of [[spoiler:falling in love with Domon at the end of the series.]] Cue the cries of "Rain lost coolness because of that" from the fans. They consider her "inferior" to Allenby due to being more [[YamatoNadeshiko traditionally feminine]] than she is ''and'' for being the MsFanservice, [[SilkHidingSteel ignoring her multifaceted personality]]. Not to mention, Rain fully demonstrated that just because she doesn't like to fight doesn't mean she's not good at it, especially after piloting the Rising Gundam to rescue Allenby from a DG Cell takeover.

It helps that the characters tend to be well-written despite the stereotypes and how the writers weren't afraid to throw several stereotypes about Japan into the mix.

* SignatureScene: Trapped in flooding ruins, The over-the-top nature of the series did develop a lot of these. Though two stand out as closest to this trope:
** The scene of
Domon and Master Asia gather gathering up their chi, and proceed before proceeding to launch a skyscraper into orbit with nothing except sheer CharlesAtlasSuperpower. It's to the point where it used to be the page picture for CharlesAtlasSuperpower.that exact trope.
** The use of the Shining Finger Sword on Dahal also counts, partly because of the [[CallingYourAttacks long dialogue sequence]] towards the FinishingMove, and the fact that the said scene was built up, indirectly at least... "[[Memes/{{Gundam}} WITH THE HELP OF KYOJI~!!!]]"

** Many of the more minor Gundams have the most ridiculous names and appearances. See the Windmill Gundam, which is literally just a windmill with limbs, the Mermaid Gundam, which looks like a Gundam wearing a fish suit, and the Walter Gundam, a large ball on three little legs with stretchy arms -- and again, its name is ''Walter''.

* MagnificentBastard: [[FallenHero Master Asia]], [[WellIntentionedExtremist seeking to save the Earth's environment]], became a willing servant of the Devil Gundam. He used the pretense of the Gundam fight to lure four Gundam Fighters to Shinjuku, where he used DG Cells to brainwash them into becoming protectors of the Devil Gundam. When the Devil Gundam destroys Shinjuku, Master rallies the survivors [[MoleInCharge while secretly leading the Death Army]]. When Master's student Domon Kasshu comes to Shinjuku to investigate, Master repeatedly lured Domon into traps in the hopes of brainwashing him into another of the Devil Gundam's protectors. Domon's partner Rain revealing Master's duplicity is only a minor inconvenience to him, as he just uses his Master Gundam to easily defeat Domon. Master frequently [[FlawExploitation exploits Domon's anger management issues]] to bait him into making near fatal mistakes. Master [[VillainTeamUp enters an alliance with Prime Minister Wong]], who wants to use the Devil Gundam to rule the world. Wong tries to kill Master so he can have the Devil Gundam to himself, but Master outmanuevers Wong. When Domon defeats Master for good, Master realizes that humans are a part of nature and apologizes to Domon for his crimes before he dies, revealing that he is the only character to work with the Devil Gundam without becoming a DG cell infested slave. While Master is ruthless, he remains a man of honor to the end.

** Have you seen this [x]? [[labelnote:Explanation]] The photo that Domon carries around in the early part of the show is a popular target for photoshopped memes, with [x] substituting for "man" in the original quote. One of the most common versions is the [[https://desu-usergeneratedcontent.xyz/m/image/1444/51/1444514015130.jpg ass]] version, which edits in Rain's very plump ass instead of Kyouji. [[/labelnote]]
