** [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSeedDestiny Shinn]] gets two or three himself: from [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Amuro]] for letting his anger drive him in battle and for being a little too happy to hate and kill the enemy—While Amuro knows it's necessary, he also believes that killing the enemy isn't something that should be done lightly and that restraint is important; from [[Anime/EurekaSeven Holland]] for being more sympathetic to [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSeedDestiny Stella]] than to his own allies, even though Stella was an enemy and burning [[HelpfulNotes/{{Germany}} Berlin]]; and from ''everyone'' if he sides with [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSeedDestiny Durandal]] in the end.

** In ''Saisei-hen'', [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Wufei]] delivers an epic WTHH-slash-TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to the [[Anime/CodeGeass Black Knights]] if you follow ''Geass'' canon and have them betray Lelouch. Details under the CrowningMomentOfAwesome header.

* WhatTheHellHero: Given to [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSeedDestiny Kira]] for his OmniscientMoralityLicense policy of disabling other pilots in battle and putting himself in danger as a result… by everyone's favorite CharClone, [[Anime/TurnAGundam Harry Ord]], no less.
** [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSeedDestiny Shinn]] gets one too though, from [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Amuro]] for letting his anger drive in battle and being a little too happy to hate and kill the enemy. While Amuro knows it's necessary he also believes killing the enemy isn't something that should be done lightly and restraint is important. He also gets one from [[Anime/EurekaSeven Holland]] for being too sympathetic to [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSeedDestiny Stella]] over his own allies even though Stella was an enemy and burning Berlin. And everyone gives him one if he sides with [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSeedDestiny Durandal]] in the end.

** Better still: if you're doing the NewGamePlus and pimped the hell out of the protagonist's stats and mech (maybe equipping some Haros while doing so), it's entirely possible that you've made something completely unbeatable. However, there's a trick if this happens: [[spoiler:the protagonist will ALWAYS move first on the enemy's turn. Taking this into consideration, move everyone that doesn't have the Flash/Alert or Invincible Spirit Commands into the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamX Freedan]] and cast these two commands every turn]].

* Only Known by Nickname: Boss has his "They call me Boss! Not even the author knows my name." quote from the Shin Mazinger anime.

*** Although that particular development was foreshadowed to hell and back by [[spoiler: nearly half of Marguerite's lines]].

* WhatTheHellHero: Given to Kira for his OmniscientMoralityLicense policy of disabling other pilots in battle and putting himself in danger as a result...by everyone's favorite CharClone, Harry Ord, no less.
** Shinn gets one too though, from Amuro for letting his anger drive in battle and being a little too happy to hate and kill the enemy. While Amuro knows its necessery he also believes killing the enemy isn't something that should be done lightly and restraint is important. He also gets one from Holland for being too sympathetic to Stellar over his own allies even though Stella was an enemy and burning Berlin. And everyone gives him one if he sides with Durandal in the end.
** Another example is [[spoiler:what each side of ZEUTH thought they were doing in the ZEUTH vs ZEUTH battle]].

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The Baldios storyline continues after its..."[[DownerEnding interesting ending]]" in the anime and goes into the movie storyline, suggesting that this was how it was supposed to be all along. This is even noted in Baldios' encyclopedia entry.
** Files uncovered after ''Z'' was hacked include Amuro's voice files for supporting [[Anime/MobileSuitVictoryGundam Usso Evin]] and [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ Judau Ashta]]. Considering the things Terada said in ''Hakai-hen's'' announcement, both were probably considered, but only Victory was implied to be in a future game and ZZ seems to have been dropped due to story issues and Bandai and Sunrise's agenda for it.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: If you choose the ZAFT route at around Scenario 45, which will probably happen since getting the other route requires a GuideDangIt, Haman simply [[LostForever vanishes from the plot after a certain point and that's it]]. [[spoiler:Fortunately this doesn't happen if you manage to take the ZEUTH route, where she's playable]].
* WesternZodiac: It's revealed in ''Saisei-hen'' that the spheres are based on the twelve constellations in the Western Zodiac. So far we've seen Leo (Wounded Lion), Virgo (Sorrowful Maiden), Capricorn (Truthful Goat), Libra (Swaying Scales), Aquarius (Inexhaustible Gourd), and Aries (Lying Black Sheep).

** Note that [[spoiler: ''taichi'' (太極, alternatively ''taiji'') is a Dao concept. More can be read [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiji here]]]].

* EveryoneWentToSchoolTogether: ''Hakai-hen'' folds all the school plots together, so [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Relena Peacecraft, Heero, Duo Maxwell]], [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Saji Crossroad and Louise Halevy]] all attend [[Anime/CodeGeass Ashford Academy]].

** Happens between OZ and White Fang from GundamWing towards the finale.

* [[ThoseTwoBadGuys Those Three Bad Guys]]: [[CombatMechaXabungle Timp]], [[TheBigO Beck]], and [[ArmouredTrooperVOTOMS Kan Yu]] like to show up together in ''Saisei-hen''.

** Any time Asakim assists you is also this, although with Asakim isn't usually according to plan for him.

* ''[[CharsCounterattack Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack]]''

** Best example hands down is the redesigned [[CharsCounterattack Nu Gundam]] and its [[AttackDrone Fin Funnel]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWEKrTKhrCs attack]]. There's a reason why the fans say that Banpresto [[MemeticMutation blew the animation budget on the Nu Gundam]].

** Stage 56 of the IF route in Saisei-hen takes this UpToEleven. First you have to fight a Crap-load of [[GetterRobo Invader]], [[{{Gravion}} Zeravire]], [[DaiGuard Heterodyne]], [[ShinMazinger Mechanical Beast]] and [[GundamWing Mobile Doll]] bosses. Then you have to take on [[GodMars Emperor Zule]] and [[{{Dancougar}} Emperor Muge]] along with a bunch of their lackeys, including TWO [[DancougarNova MOON-WILLS]], plus the [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann Cathedral Terra Lazengann]] (which you just spent half of the last stage beating already). THEN, once all that is over, you go inside the Catheral Terra where you have to fight [[EvilKnockOff Anti-Spiral Gurren Lagann]].

* KilledOffForReal: Severel, including [[spoiler: both Kamina and [[MobileSuitGundam00 Neil 'Lockon Stratos' Dylandy]], as well as [[CodeGeass Ephumia]] if you don't do the route split in Sansei-hen]].

* NotHisSled: [[spoiler: The [[Anime/TurnAGundam Black History]] is actually a BadFuture [[NiceJobBreakingItHero brought about by ZEUTH]], rather than the distant past/{{Gundam}} MegaCrossover that the original series is so well-known for]].

** [[GundamWing Deathscythe Hell]]'s Hyper Jammer attack loses the Accuracy Down effect of the original Deathscythe's Hyper Jammer, making it stronger but less useful overall.

* {{Retcon}}: ''Z'' completely writes out CharsCounterattack in favor of keeping Char in line with his ZetaGundam incarnation. Still, it's pretty odd since CharsCounterattack is only in ''Z'' to give Amuro the Re-GZ and eventual Nu Gundam, while Char gets stuck with his Hyaku Shiki and doesn't get the CharsCounterattack Sazabi. Nevertheless, the moment where he and Amuro learn about this possible future and Char heartfully declaring to stop it from happening was [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming heartwarming indeed]].

* SparedByTheAdaptation: [[spoiler: Euphie, Shirley and Rolo from ''Anime/CodeGeass'']] in "Saisei-Hen", provided you pick the right route. Also [[spoiler:Anew Returner from ''{{Gundam 00}}'' and Lorelei from ''Anime/ShinMazinger'']] as secrets. A non-secret would be [[spoiler:Lelouch.]]

*** [[Anime/CodeGeass Emperor Charles zi Britannia]] lets [[{{Gundam00}} Ribbons Almark]] do pretty much whatever he wants to the world, since Charles is more concerned with [[spoiler:the Ragnarok Connection.]]

*** Also in Saisei-hen is [[MobileSuitGundam00 Ribbons Almark]] and [[MacrossFrontier Grace O'Conner]], which was foreshadowed in Hakai-hen. In the ZEXIS route, you even fight them as a DualBoss.

** In ''Saisei-hen'', [[GundamWing Wu Fei]] delivers an epic WTHH-slash-TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to the [[Anime/CodeGeass Black Knights]] if you follow ''Geass'' canon and have them betray Lelouch. Details under the CrowningMomentOfAwesome header.

** [[GundamWing Deathscythe Hell]]'s Hyper Jammer attack loses the Accuracy Down effect of the original Deathscythe's Hyper Jammer, making it stronger but less useful overall.

* WhatTheHellHero: Given to Kira for his OmniscientMoralityLicense policy of disabling other pilots in battle first, asking questions later...by everyone's favorite CharClone, Harry Ord, no less.

** In Z2, Original Dancougar, Destroy Gundam, Face Metal Beast, Beast Gore and Burai, Branch Robot 5

* CruelTwistEnding: ''Hakai-Hen'''s storyline avoids the DownerEnding of both Gundam 00's first season and Getter Robo Armageddon's first episode, and the end sequence plays out with it looking like everything's fine. Credits roll, and then all the bad stuff starts to happen...

** ''Saisei-hen'' reveals the reason for Crowe's distrust of women: his [[ColonelKilgore former commander,]] [[AxCrazy Marilyn]] [[{{Yangire}} Catto]].
