Does This Remind You of Anything?: The bored Zeon soldiers' behavior is closer to that of a Bōsōzoku or Japanese motorcycle gang than anything, complete with futuristic hover bikes.
Mildly Military: A glaring case with the Zeons, who come up with the anti-mech-bombing plan and act it out on their own, and even make an unsanctioned trip just to taunt the survivors.
Worthy Opponent: Though disappointed at not being able to go home, the Zeons can't help but be impressed by Amuro risking his life removing the bombs they planted.
