History Trivia / MobileSuitGundam00

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: This show had a planned dubbed broadcast in Brazil in 2021, being the second ''Gundam'' series after ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Wing]]'' to be dubbed in Brazilian Portuguese. However, internal issues and negligence of the channel owners made such show have a cancelation after seven episodes being broadcast. [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes After that the show never ever has been released with the dub ever in other media]] (in the country, it's only available with subtitles on Crunchyroll), and no one knows [[UnfinishedDub where the dub lasted]] since the channel itself provided it and now it is defunct...

* ActorAllusion: [[spoiler:Ribbons Almark]], who shares a Japanese voice actor with Amuro Ray, pilots both the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam RX-78]]-inspired 0 Gundam & the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Guncannon]]-inspired Reborns Cannon/Gundam.
** A more subtle reference: in the first ED Setsuna F. Seiei is eating an apple, referring to [[Manga/DeathNote another role]] that both Creator/MamoruMiyano and Creator/BradSwaile are famous for.
** [[Creator/ChantalStrand Feldt]] was also a pink-haired girl [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED in a previous life]].
** This isn't the first time Creator/LisaAnnBeley has voiced the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSeed buxom brunette captain of a starship]]
** Creator/RichardIanCox is the voice of another character who engages in a lot of SayMyName, from Inuyasha (KAGOME!) to Allelujah (MARIE!).
*** Also, Gundam Kyrios is a white and orange painted mecha, much like [[Anime/{{ZoidsNewCentury}} Liger Zero Schneider]]. Which is fitting, as Allelujah and Bit Cloud shares the same english voice actor.

* PlayingAgainstType: Numerous seiyuus of past Gundam protagonists voiced antagonists this time around: Bad [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Amuro]] (Creator/ToruFuruya as Ribbons Almark), Bad [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ Judau]] (Creator/KazukiYao as Aber Rindt), Bad [[Anime/TurnAGundam Loran]] ([[Creator/RomiPark Romi Paku]] as Regene Regetta), Bad [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam0080WarInThePocket Al]] (Creator/DaisukeNamikawa as Michael Trinity), Bad [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamThe08thMSTeam Eledore]] (Creator/KeijiFujiwara as Ali al-Saachez), Bad [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED Sai]] (Tetsu Shiratori as Andrei Smirnov).
** The English dub followed suit: Bad [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED Yzak]] (Creator/MichaelAdamthwaite as Ribbons Almark), Bad [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Duo]] (Creator/ScottMcNeil as Ali al-Saachez), Bad [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny Meyrin]] (Creator/NicoleBouma as Nena Trinity), Bad [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny Lunamaria]] (Creator/MarykeHendrikse as Wang Liu Mei), Bad [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Trowa]] (Creator/KirbyMorrow as Billy Katagiri), and Bad (singing) [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED Lacus]]/[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny Meer]] (Creator/JillianMichaels as Revive Revival).
*** On the other side of the coin the English version also ''inverts'' the trope, with voice actors of past Gundam antagonists voicing protagonists: Good [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny Auel]] (Creator/BradSwaile as Setsuna F. Seiei), Good [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED Shani]] (Creator/RichardIanCox as H/Allelujah Haptism) Good [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED Azrael]] (Creator/AndrewFrancis as Lasse Aeon), Good [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny Djibril]] (Alistair Abell as Klaus Grad), and (arguably) Good [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack Char]] (Creator/MichaelKopsa as Aeolia Schenberg).
** Brad Swaile is an odd case, because he voiced Amuro Ray in the dub of Mobile Suit Gundam long before dubbing Auel.
** Kelly Sheridan voices Louise Halevy, a nice girl who later becomes a DarkActionGirl.
** The Filipino dub also plays it straight: Setsuna is voiced by the guy who did [[Manga/HajimeNoIppo Ippo Makunochi]], Lockon by the guy who did [[Anime/MyHime Reito Kanzaki]], H/Allelujah by the guy who did [[VisualNovel/{{Clannad}} Youhei Sunohara]], Tieria by the guy who did [[LightNovel/ShakuganNoShana Yuuji Sakai]].
* RelationshipVoiceActor: Many seiyuus from ''Anime/FullmetalAlchemist2003'', another anime directed by Seiji Mizushima, reunite in ''00''. Namely, the voices of Edward Elric (Regene Regetta), Alphonse Elric (Nena Trinity), Maes Hughes (Ali al-Saachez), Scar (Bring Stability and Divine Nova), Riza Hawkeye (Shirin Bakhtiar), Jean Havoc (Alejandro Corner), Maria Ross (Revive Revival), Kain Fuery (Andrei Smirnov), Solf Kimblee (Billy Katagiri), and Lt. Yoki (Aner Rindt).
** In ''[[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood]]'', many seiyuus from ''00'' replaced some of the originals, such as Roy Mustang (Lockon Stratos), Solf Kimblee (H/Allelujah Haptism), Envy (Kati Mannequin), Vato Falman (Patrick Colasour), Barry the Chopper (Ian Vashti), and Greed (Graham Aker). Some of the seiyuus from the original anime that were also in ''00'' returned but voiced different characters, such as Billy Katagiri (the original Zolf Kimblee now Jean Havoc) and Andrei Smirnov (the original Kain Fuery now Gluttony).
** Then there's the Franchise/KingdomHearts seiyuus: Sora (Saji Crossroad), Riku (Setsuna F. Seiei), Axel (Ali al-Saachez), and Alladin (Lockon Stratos)
** And also from ''Manga/TsubasaReservoirChronicle'': Saji Crossroad (Syaoran), Michael Trinity (Fai), Captain Barrack Zinnin (Kurogane), Setsuna F. Seiei (Kamui)
** This is also a sort of happy reunion of ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSeed Gundam SEED]]'' and ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSeedDestiny Gundam SEED Destiny]]'' voice actors.
** Thanks to the Ocean Group doing the English dub it shares a tons of VA's with their past ''Gundam'' dubs.

* TalkingToHimself: While the Dylandy twins share the same VA, [[spoiler: it's mainly averted in the anime series due to Lyle only getting a major role after Neil's death]]. However, the live reading in the 2009-2010 New Years Festival has Creator/ShinichiroMiki doing a bit of this.

* NamesTheSame:
** Sadly, the secret to the Gundam's Trans-Am is not the Pontiac Firebird.
** Setsuna F. Seiei share his first name with a MagicalGirlWarrior from ''LightNovel/TheTriskelionInTheDesertedCityOfTokyo'' as well as a [[VisualNovel/SchoolDays girl who Makoto slept with]].

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: In episode 2, Celestial Being intervenes in the Sri Lankan Civil War, which is described as having lasted for hundreds of years. In real life, the conflict ended in 2009, two years after the episode aired.

** The Gundams originally had more of a [[ChessMotifs Chess Motif]]. Their names have changed, but their roles have remained the same.
*** The Exia was the Pawn Gundam. With short, limited range, it serves its purpose best by charging into the field, annoying and disrupting everything. However, if it ever crosses the chessboard, [[MidSeasonUpgrade its potential can become limitless.]]

** Tieria was originally planned on being a {{Bifauxnen}} woman who dresses like a man, and there are some elements in the first season that foreshadow it early on, such as his name, suffering PronounTrouble when his masculine Gundam reveals a very feminine inner form, and appearing ''much'' more feminine when upset. However, this was scrapped.

* FanNickname: [[FanNickname/MobileSuitGundam00 Here we go, folks; there's plenty of them.]]

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: According to WordofGod, ''Gundam 00'' was originally supposed to have been fifty continuous episodes like every past Gundam series and not two separate seasons. The story was planned to span 4 years, with the time skip happening in episode 32. The results of the split season were that the time skip happened after episode 25; the first part of the story ended up being put in the first 31 episodes; and that the Lyle/Anew subplot was added into the story.

*** The Exia was the Pawn Gundam. With short, limited range, it serves its purpose best by charging into the field, annoying and disrupting everything. However, if it ever crosses the chess board, [[MidSeasonUpgrade its potential can become limitless.]]

*** The Kyrios was the Knight Gundam. Able to to ignore enemy defenses and attack with impunity, it serves to harass and break up fortifications.
*** The Virtue was the Rook Gundam. With long offensive range and powerful defensive capabilities, it not only is a dangerous unit on its own, but it also the bodyguard unit for...

*** The 0 Gundam was originally meant to be an active command-and-control unit, and thus fulfils the role of the King. By itself, it is extremely weak, but capture or destruction of that unit would lose the entire battle. It also helps that [[BilingualBonus 'Oh' in Japanese means 'King' as well]].
