** [[spoiler:The tone of the series and the conversation between Chairman Karato and Dr. Kasshu in the finale seems to strongly imply that they will devise a way to make the system less destructive, especially since Dr. Kasshu himself is now free to have another try at creating something that can restore Earth. And that won't decide to KillAllHumans if it gets a little dinged up on landing.]]

game, not a trope.


* BetterThanItSounds: Despite being more SuperRobot-ish, this is one of the few Gundam Series that doesn't highlight teenagers but instead young adults and older: with the exception of Sai . It also deconstructs the FallingIntoTheCockpit trope where a kid nearly kills himself just ''trying'' to pilot a Gundam.

* SuperlativeDubbing: Well... I can't speak to the accuracy of the translation, and the voice acting itself runs the gambit from lacking to pretty decent. Except for Mark Gatha. He had some amazing pipes and is one of maybe three English voice actors to ever pull off the energy and ability to yell super moves that's so important in a robot show.
