* CharClone: ZZ is the only televised UC Gundam series to not have a dude with a mask running around, due to Char's absence. Elements of your standard Char Clone can be found in Glemy and Mashymyre, though.

* NightmareFuel: The Psycho Gundam MK2's damaged appearance after [[spoiler: Elpe Ple selfdestructs her Quebeley]] to damage it. It looks like a mechanical zombie out of a horror film than a futuristic, hyper advanced machine with the way it's remaining arm is hanging by wires and one of it's optics is fully exposed in a very Terminator like fashion.
** The newtype Ghost that Judau manifests after Haman shoots Leina. It looks less like a newtype aura and more like a demon being brought into the world. Even Haman, who is normal the IceQueen flees in terror and breaks down crying in her quarters when she realizes she can't stop it.
** The [[spoiler:colony drop]] on [[spoiler: Dublin]]. Prior colony drops were normally stopped or were from a distant perspective that was more a narrative sequence. Here, we see first hand how frightening having a massive metallic space object falling and how it affects the environment as it descends, all from an up close perspective from the characters. The sky darkens, debris from it falls, the weight and size is emphasized. Just all around terrifying
** The colliding of Axis and the Core 3 Colony. Core 3 looked like a bustling, lively, bright colony prior to impact, but during the impact, it shifts to a dark, cold empty place with Axis suddenly breaking through, like an apocalypstic event just suddenly happened. Even the mansion Haman lived in while stationed there is suddenly turned into a a delapidated wreck the minute it occurs due to the sheer force of the both Axis and the sudden vacuum.

* {{BFS}}: The ZZ's hyper beam sabers; both in size (as long as the Gundam itself) and in power. Suffice to say, the ZZ is rather [[IncrediblyLamePun big]] on lots of things...

With the resolution of the Gryps Conflict, the Titans have finally been defeated, but the AEUG was badly battered in the process. In the aftermath, Haman Karn's Neo-Zeon movement is the strongest force in space by virtue of having sat out the worst of the fighting in the previous conflict, and as such, she decides that it is time for Zeon to rise again, forcing the weakened Earth to have to fight the now restarted One Years War.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: The Gaza Storm technique uses a smokescreen so that enemy mobile suits can't find the suits using this strategy. Unfortunately, the creators forgot that since Minovksy radiation makes non-visual sensors useless, the smokescreen means that they can't find the targets they want to shoot either.

** The plan to kidnap Mineva Zabi from Side 3 had a great deal of effort put into the plan to sneak in, and virtually no planning in regards to how the kidnappers were going to get back ''out''.

* OnlyMostlyDead: [[spoiler:Saegusa]] takes a direct swipe from [[spoiler:Yazan]]'s PMS in the first episode with absolutely no protection. Both Judau and Fa believe him to be dead, but he does eventually recover in time for the last episode, where [[spoiler:he reappears as part of the AEUG crowd that sees off Judau and Roux]].



* SuddenSequelDeathSyndrome: [[spoiler:Saegusa]] manages to survive all of Zeta where most of his compatriots [[KillEmAll didn't]]. And then is promptly killed by [[spoiler:Yazan]] in the very first episode. [[spoiler:[[Main/AvertedTrope Or so it seems]], until the last episode, where he reappears as part of the AEUG crowd that sees off Judau and Roux.]]

** Late in the series Chara forms one with her two guards Nee and Lance. While still fairly capable they are much more prone to [[{{Anime/Pokemon}} Team Rocket-esque]] antics and comedy relief.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Mashmyre's flashbacks to his meetings with Haman usually feature her doing something suggestive that he is distracted by, such as stroking the stem of a wineglass or baring a leg while wearing a revealing dress.
