** Speaking of the ''Stargazer'' OVA, considering the original fate of the Blu Duel courtesy of three Kerberos [=BuCUE=] Hounds, it makes a lot of sense for Blu Duel in ''Full Color Theater'' to be afraid of dogs like Bu Cue.

* CrossCulturalKerfluffle: Gyan's Formula Triple K, a spray that causes siblings to fight with each other, is written in the manga as "KKK". While the acronym is meant to be short for the phrase "Kyoudai ga kanarazu kenka suru"[[note]]"Siblings will inevitably fight"[[/note]], English speaking readers more commonly associate it with the highly infamous UsefulNotes/KuKluxKlan.



* TimeTravelEpisode: The last half of the Char's Counterattack arc has the ghosts of Nu Gundam and Char go back in time to around the time of the One Year War after straying from Lalah when returning to the world of the living. There's also a subplot of the group in present-day being split between waiting for them to come back to life and just burying them.

* AllJustADream: The plot twist behind the two-part Sentai Heroes arc. When Gundam tried to hypnotize everyone into following through with the plan, he accidently put himself to sleep.



* CerebusSyndrome: Downplayed. Some of the arcs still have serious moments, such as the Char's Counterattack arc, the two-part Giant Killer Strawberry arc, and the Formula Triple-K chapter, but they are generally mixed with BlackComedy to make light of the serious situation. An example of this can be seen after Char drops an asteroid on Earth in the Char's Counterattack arc.:

* BeachEpisode: There is always at least one of these per volume.
* BigStormEpisode: One of the chapters involves everyone preparing for a giant storm that appears in the colony. This includes getting people to help reinforce White Base, the AEUG getting excited over the rain, Justice Gundam getting upset over a tiny uneven space between the pins reinforcing the tarp, and God Gundam ''challenging the storm to a duel''.

* ChristmasEpisode: This kind of episode was done a few times.

* TimeTravel: SickEpisode: One of the chapters involved Gyan spreading a cold virus throughout the colony with only three people being unaffected. These were Shining Gundam, whose hot-blooded nature naturally killed the virus, Zeta Gundam, who is so cold the virus couldn't inhabit him, and Zock, who is so forgettable the virus didn't know he existed. The virus eventually died off on its own.

''SD Gundam Full Color Theater'' is a manga authored by Azuma Yuuki. It is a {{Yonkoma}} gag manga based on the SD Gundam Full Color gashapon toy line, which was the precursor to the modern Gashapon Senshi line. It was serialized in the magazine Comics [=BomBom=] from 1997 to the magazine's cancelation in 2007 (Making it one of the last ''[[Franchise/SDGundam SD Gundam]]'' manga series published in the magazine alongside ''[[Toys/BBSenshiSangokuden Sangokuden]]''). The series went on temporary hiatus, moving to the TV Manga Heroes magazine until it finished its run in 2009. The series was reprinted as a set of three compilation volumes in 2016.

The plot of the series revolves around Gundam, a member of the Earth Federation Forces who gets into various instances of trouble with almost everyone around him. One of the central points of his trouble is his rivalry with Char, a pink ball who wears various Char Custom MS as clothing. The cast list and story grows from that point on. The manga's structure is standard to yonkoma, with several (mostly) related four-panel strips sandwiched between an overarching plot.


!Tropes associated with ''SD Gundam Full Color Theater'' are:
* AndroidsArePeopleToo: Stargazer Gundam is the only character in the series that is actually a robot. However, Gundam and a few of the other characters treat them as a person, with Strike Noir going as far as to say he was taught that even robots have a soul because of them.
* CerebusSyndrome: Downplayed. Some of the arcs still have serious moments, such as the Char's Counterattack arc, the two-part Killer Strawberry arc, and the Formula Triple-K chapter, but they are generally mixed with BlackComedy to make light of the serious situation. An example of this can be seen after Char drops an asteroid on Earth in the Char's Counterattack arc.:
-->'''Nu Gundam:''' ''"DON'T YOU KNOW THAT DROPPING ASTEROIDS IS DANGEROUS!?"''
-->'''Char:''' ''"It's supposed to be dangerous, stupid!!"''
-->'''Nu Gundam:''' ''"DON'T YOU KNOW THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE DIED!?"''
-->'''Char:''' ''"[[BreakingTheFourthWall In this manga]], [[CrossesTheLineTwice people are supposed to die from the asteroid.]]"''
-->'''Nu Gundam:''' ''"Oh. That's right."''
* FictionalVideoGame: ''SD Gundam Full Color RPG'', the game which the manga's RPG arc takes place in.
* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: There are characters from a total of 23 different Gundam works ''at least''!! They are also introduced so quickly that Gundam himself had to take a break for a chapter because of it.
* MidseasonUpgrade: Generally, if a character's pilot basis gets a Mobile Suit upgrade, that character will get a power up in the form of that MS. For example, Gundam gets upgraded to Nu Gundam in the Char's Counterattack arc. He also gains the ability to swap between the two forms as he pleases.
* NoFourthWall: With how often Azuma Yuuki barges into the series to explain things such as why Gundam X's scavenger hunt item is Gundam Leopard, how the series makes references to Gundam works airing at the time the chapter was published, crossing over to other panels in one chapter, and even Blitz pondering fate if Comics [=BomBom=] gets canned, one can assume that the forth wall is almost nonexistent.
* RageAgainstTheAuthor: In the chapter that announces the results for the second popularity poll, Gundam captures and interrogates the author, Azuma Yuuki, and her assistant because they got 7th place in the popularity polls.
* RidiculouslyHumanRobots: Almost all the mechas that appear in the series are human-like with feelings and personalities.
* RunningGag: Being a comedy manga, there are several. Some of the most notable include:
**Zeta Gundam having dry ice in his head.
**Wing Gundam Zero self-destructing due to failing a mission, embarrassment, or because it's the only hobby he has.
**Zock being [[ForgettableCharacter so forgettable]] that when Gyan unleashed a cold virus onto everyone in Gundam's colony, the only reason why he was one of the only people unaffected by it was because ''even the virus forgot he existed''.
* UnfortunateNames: Gyan's Formula Triple K, a spray that causes siblings to fight with each other, is written in the manga as "KKK". While the acronym is meant to be short for the phrase "Kyoudai ga kanarazu kenka suru"[[note]]"Siblings will inevidibly fight"[[/note]], English speaking readers might be offended by it.
