History YMMV / MobileFighterGGundam

** Master Asia, who could solo the Gundam multiverse. ''On foot armed only with a sash''.

** Of all the less than noble fighters in the Gundam Fight, Neo Portugal's [[MonsterClown Romario Monini]] deserves a special mention for [[spoiler: looking up information about Chibodee's past trauma that led to the likely death of his mother and ''deliberately'' using it against him to drive him towards a psyhological meltdown that would make him easier to beat in their match.]]

** Finally Master Asia himself. He had to either die or else he would somehow resolve the series himself as he's widely regarded as one of the most awesome characters in the Gundam metaverse.
* VindicatedByHistory: It was the first alternate universe ''Gundam'' series, and to this day is the biggest departure from the usual ''Gundam'' fare (barring ''SD Gundam'' works), and at the time of its release was very divisive for those reasons. As time went on, it has become one of the most unilaterally beloved ''Gundam'' series.

** Americans Love Chibodee Crocket. He's a BoisterousBruiser who manages to fit every EagleLand stereotype imaginable, and his Gundam is a six-shooting cowboy quarterback boxer with a ''surfboard''. He's enormously popular in the United States because he's so damn CrazyIsCool. And as a character beyond the stereotypes, he's basically [[{{Franchise/Rocky}} Apollo Creed if Apollo Creed were white]], and like Creed is a well-written and complex character with many facets to him.

** The comparisons between ''G Gundam'' and the ''Franchise/DragonBall'' franchise are funnier when you remember that Blue Water Studios, the company that dubbed ''G Gundam'', would later made the alternate English dubs of both ''Anime/DragonBallGT'' and the original ''Manga/DragonBall'' for Canada and Europe. There are some funny coincidences between both dubbing cast:
*** Roger Rhodes voices one of the main rivals (Vegeta and Chibodee Crocket)
*** Steve Olson is the narrator both series.
*** Carol-Anne Day is a love interest. (Allenby and Chi-Chi)
*** Dave Pettitt is a badass grandpa. (Master Asia and Mr. Satan)
*** Zoe Slusar is the young fighter. (Sai Saici and Kid Goku)

** Crossing over with ''Series/FamilyMatters'', The ''Videogame/SuperRobotWarsT'' rendition of the show's second opening, "TRUST YOU FOREVER", works well with the intro sequence to the former show, [[https://twitter.com/GeniusChampion/status/1480034164787359746?s=20&t=z_v_4KevxeWG5CFv8iHCXA seen here.]]

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: The Devil Gundam of all things gets subject to this after the truth about Kyoji's escape to earth is revealed: [[spoiler:Did it really go [[AIIsACrapshoot insane]] after being damaged by the crash landing to Earth like Schwarz/Kyoji said? Or did witnessing Ulube and Dr. Mikimura betray the Kasshu family, in addition to seeing the state of the Earth it was created to restore, cause it reach a similar conclusion to Master Asia and believe that [[HumansAreBastards humanity's irredeemable]] and deserves to be [[KillAllHumans wiped out?]] Given how ambiguous the Devil Gundam's own intelligence is, it could be either one.]]

* BrokenBase: Given how much of an OddballInTheSeries ''G Gundam'' is, there has been some debate about if it should really quality as a ''Gundam'' series or not, or at the very least whether or not that should get in the way of being able to enjoy it. Its departure from the RealRobotGenre is generally the biggest complaint among those who dislike it, though the often cited MotionCaptureMecha concept is not as unrealistic as is usually treated. Those who enjoy it consider it a much-needed reprieve from the typical bleak tone and endlessly hammered message of "war is hell" that the franchise usually indulges in.

* EsotericHappyEnding: While on the personal level it's happy, on the global scale it may not be as happy as it seems. [[spoiler:There's another Gundam Fight coming, though the pilots' resolve to preserve the Earth means that it might not be as ecologically-devastating this time round. 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 that won't decide to KillAllHumans if it gets a little dinged up on landing.]]

* NarmCharm: It's Franchise/{{Gundam}} mixed with [[HotBlooded hot blood]] and revolves around a TournamentArc. It ditches nearly all traces of WarIsHell in favor of pure SuperRobotGenre tropes. It's chock full of over-the-top {{Narm}} moments, flat-out ridiculous attacks, and [[WorldOfHam not a single line delivered with any subtlety]]. And yet, this show wouldn't even be half as good as it is if it was any less corny. The narmiest moment was Master Asia declaring he would become: '''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSHfJuGzUdM SUPER ASIA]]'''.

* 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.

** And then later Schwarz/[[spoiler: Kyoji]]. The man goes through hell and back and is basically a BadassNormal compared to Domon and his God Gundam, but it doesn't change the fact that he's so great that he has to be put down to move the plot forward.

As time went on, it has become one of the most unilaterally beloved Gundam series.

* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: Some of the Gundam designs are freaking ''surreal''. The director himself said that he was ''giggling'' while giving a few of them to the animators. (At least the Skull and Ashura Gundams have a legitimate excuse: they were sent in by kids in a viewer contest.)
* WhatMeasureIsANonBadass: Rain had the misfortune of [[spoiler: falling in love with Domon at the end of the series.]] Cue the cries of "Rain lost coolness because of that" from the fans. They consider her "inferior" to Allenby due to being more [[YamatoNadeshiko traditionally feminine]] than she is ''and'' for being the MsFanservice, [[TheDutifulSon ignoring]] [[{{Tsundere}} her]] [[SilkHidingSteel multifaceted]] [[SinsOfOurFathers personality.]] Not to mention, Rain fully demonstrated that just because she doesn't like to fight doesn't mean she's not good at it, especially after piloting the Rising Gundam to rescue Allenby from DG Cell takeover.

** 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". 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'', an "uncut" track of the dub audio was not made.

* TooCoolToLive: The first Shuffle Alliance. [[spoiler:And then later Schwarz/Kyoji. And finally Master Asia himself.]]

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: The Devil Gundam of all things gets subject to this after the truth about Kyoji's escape to earth is revealed: [[spoiler:Did it really go [[AIIsACrapshoot insane]] after being damaged by the crash landing to Earth like Schwarz/Kyoji said? Or did witnessing Ulube and Dr. Mikimura betray the Kasshu family, in addition to seeing the state of the Earth it was created to restore, cause it reach a similar conclusion to Master Asia and believe that [[HumansAreBastards humanity's irredeemable]] and deserves to be [[KillAllHumans wiped out?]]]]

** [[InsaneAdmiral Colonel Ulube Ishikawa]] is a former Gundam Fighter who [[FallenHero reveals himself as a servitor of the Devil Gundam]] towards the end of the series. Having [[ManipulativeBastard manipulated]] the control of the Ultimate Gundam, betrayed Domon Kasshu's father, and delivered Rain to become the Devil Gundam's Core, Ulube intends to use it to devour Japan, annihilating large swaths of land and attempting to even destroy the world so that he may rule.
** [[TheDon Michelo Chariot]] is a Mafia boss turned pilot of Neo Italy's Neros Gundam, and [[StarterVillain the first opponent Domon Kasshu meets]] on his adventure. Vexed when Domon saves a group of children from his thugs, Michelo kidnaps and threatens to murder one of them unless Domon fights his entire gang barehanded. When Domon unexpectedly wins, Michelo kills his right-hand man for showing fear and engages in, and loses, a Gundam fight with Domon. Though seemingly disqualified and arrested, Michelo is granted amnesty by Wong in exchange for serving as one of his [[PsychoForHire enforcers]], and throughout the finals performs underhanded maneuvers such as mailing a bomb to an accomplice that got cold feet and attempting to force George to forfeit their fight lest Michelo blow up the entire audience.

* InformedWrongness: Neo England's President tells the representative to force George to withdraw before fighting Domon in their big match at Hong Kong. It's treated as a dishonor and goes against the fighter's spirit, but the President had a point in forcing him to withdraw. Domon's God Gundam was undefeated at that point and even if George won, the likelyhood that Rose Gundam would be too damaged to fully repair before the Final Battle was great. As stated in the episode itself, while George may see the Gundam Fight as a sporting competition, it isn't. It's a war, and Neo England is participating specifically to gain the right to rule all of outer space. Pulling George back and preparing for the battle royale was the most practical decision.

* RetroactiveRecognition: Mark Gatha is now known to be a medical doctor (orthopedic surgeon, specifically) working in Canada, though he did most of his work in Eastern Canada.

** Americans Love Chibodee Crocket. He's a BoisterousBruiser who manages to fit every EagleLand stereotype imaginable, and his Gundam is a six-shooting cowboy quarterback boxer with a ''surfboard''. He's enormously popular in the United States because he's so damn CrazyAwesome. And as a character beyond the stereotypes, he's basically [[{{Franchise/Rocky}} Apollo Creed if Apollo Creed were white]], and like Creed is a well-written and complex character with many facets to him.

** Not just Fuun Saiki, Master Asia ''himself'' is insanely popular among mecha fans.

** Domon and Rain are a "Memetic Sweet Couple", only getting edged out [[Anime/AfterWarGundamX Garrod and Tiffa]] in that regard.

** Not just Fuun Saiki, Master Asia ''himself'' is insanely popular among mecha fans. He even finished runner-up in the [[http://www.lurkmore.com/wiki/GAR 2007 SaiGAR tournament!]]

* HilariousInHindsight: Neo France apparently uses Neo Francs, even though France stopped dealing in francs when it adopted the euro in 2002.

** A brief cutscene in Episode 2 shows the Maxter Gundam of Neo-America defeating the Scud Gundam of Neo-Iraq with one punch. ''Two years later'' and the Persian Gulf War of 1991 begins with the American-led Coalition Forces launching a counter-offensive that leads to the defeat of the Iraqi Army.
