  • Anvilicious: Crack Fic it may be, but one point this story never misses a chance to drive home is how the Principality of Zeon forfeited any shred of moral high ground it may have possessed due to their actions in the first week of the One Year War, and anyone who works for them falls into one of five categories.
    • Decent people who are stuck in their position and will defect once given the opportunity.
    • Too stupid or naive to know better, and may end up getting killed or rescued depending on the circumstances and the protagonists’ mood at the time.
    • Diehards who drank the Zeon Kool-Aid and still think they’re on the side of righteousness, regardless of what atrocities they’ve participated in. These ones are killed to a man and mocked if the protagonists get the chance to do so.
    • Rat bastards like Gihren Zabi, who are killed as sadistically as circumstances permit.
    • Ramba Ral, who seems to be someone the White Base crew actually respects and likes, even though it won’t stop them from trying to kill him if/when they meet on the field of battle.
  • Crazy Is Cool: The entire crew of the White Base fit this to varying degrees, but special mention goes to Amuro and his parents, followed by Bright Noa. Case in point, using a Magellan-class battleship as an improvised nuclear IED and successfully kidnapping Garma Zabi to use as a hostage.
  • Crosses the Line Twice: Pretty much everything the protagonists do to Zeon soldiers and sympathizers. War crimes have never been so hilarious, nor the victims so deserving.
  • Moral Event Horizon: Zeon crossed it at the very beginning of the One Year War, which is why the protagonists treat them as beyond the protection of The Laws and Customs of War.
