** Many Mobile Suits were renamed due to religious or otherwise-negative implications, after a fiasco involving model kits of the Gundam Deathscythe Hell being pulled from toy stores over its name happened while Gundam Wing was still airing. These changes include changing "God Gundam" to "Burning Gundam", "Devil Gundam" into "Dark Gundam", and "Tequila Gundam" into "Spike Gundam". Meanwhile, some changes are more arbitrary than others, such as renaming the "Lumber Gundam" into "Grizzly Gundam". Unlike Gundam Wing, an "uncut" track of the dub audio was not made.

These changes include changing "God Gundam" to "Burning Gundam", "Devil Gundam" into "Dark Gundam", and "Tequila Gundam" into "Spike Gundam". Many of these are considered quite reasonable and arguably superior, as "Burning" fits the Gundam far more than "God" both in terms of its attacks and as being an upgrade to the Shining Gundam, and the Devil Gundam while monstrous isn't terribly satanic. Meanwhile, some changes are more arbitrary than others, such as renaming the "Lumber Gundam" into "Grizzly Gundam". Unlike Gundam Wing, ''Gundam Wing'', an "uncut" track of the dub audio was not made.



** Also, the song that Rain and Chibodee's crew sings when he fights Romario. In Japanese, it's the end credits song. In English? ''AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL.''

** Also, the song that Rain and Chibodee's crew sings when he fights Romario. In Japanese, it's the end credits song. In English? ''AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL.'''' A far more fitting piece to rally the comically {{Eagleland}}-y character than a random (albeit catchy) Japanese song.

* MagnificentBastard: Master Asia, 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 exploits Domon's anger management issues to bait him into making near fatal mistakes. Master 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.

Added DiffLines:

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: G Gundam was very divisive at the time of its release because of how different it is from the rest of the franchise. While most of the works in the franchise are RealRobotGenre series with strong WarIsHell themes, G Gundam is a SuperRobotGenre series where the anti-war themes aren't as prominent. Nowadays, more people are willing to enjoy the show despite its odd nature, but this change in heart is far from universal.
