History TearJerker / MobileSuitGundamUnicorn

-->'''[[spoiler:Loni:]]''' [[spoiler:[[FamousLastWords Banagher... Isn't it sad?]]]]

** The Shamblo opens fire, but blocks its own attack from hitting the diving Unicorn and Delta Plus. Riddhe's Delta Plus immediately transforms, grabs the Beam Magnum from the Unicorn and blasts the Shamblo's cockpit into melted slag, incinerating Loni and ending a fight that had ended only seconds before. There is no peace in this Universal Century.

* The small hope spot during the Unicorn/Delta Plus vs. Shamblo (with an out-of-control psycommu system) in Episode 4, [[spoiler:Just before Loni bites it.]]

** Considering how those series didn't start until 20-30 years after Unicorn, They did succeed in putting down the Ghost of Zeon; they had no idea about the Ronahs, Jupiter Empire or other things waiting to make their move. [[spoiler:Let alone the [[GundamReconguistaInG Kuntala]] or [[TurnAGundam Moonlight Butterfly]].]]

* The novels put further emphasis on how deep Syam Vist's sorrow goes. [[spoiler:His desire for building up Laplace's Box and Anaheim Electronics in part was out of a hope for building a better life for his original family. Then he realized the larger-than-life dangers this will bring them (not to mention the Vist family he established was a BigScrewedUpFamily as it is), forcing him to sever links with them forever.]]

* Episode 1 has a LOT of civilian casualties due to the crossfire in a civilian habitat colony. People killed by mobile suit debris, a man vaporized by a beam hitting him, alot of people get killed in the crossfire and its hard to tell who causes it. One teacher gets many of the students in a shelter and makes a HeroicSacrifice by closing the door before he can get through so the students arent killed by a nuclear engine explosion.

* As the Unicorn approaches the [[spoiler:ruins of the Laplace station]], it activates a recording of Ricardo Marcenas' speech for the beginning of the Universal Century itself. But while the actual speech (or rather the parts heard before the station blew up) was intended to be inspiring and uplifting in UC 0001, amidst the battle against the Sleeves it comes across instead as hollow and dissonant. Further highlighting how the UC calendar ''failed miserably'' to deliver on the promises of those who believed in the possibilities it offered.

* [[spoiler: Marida's death in Episode 7. Especially considering how she died while trying to reach out to Riddhe, until the beam magnum hit his Gundam causing him to lose it.]]

* Banagher's vision of [[spoiler:Marida's past]].
* [[spoiler:Daguza]] and [[spoiler:Gilboa's]] {{Heroic Sacrifice}}s.
-->[[spoiler:'''Daguza''']]: You are my hope. It's all up to you now, Banagher.
-->[[spoiler:'''Gilboa''']]: [[spoiler:Tikva]]... Just look after the family for me...

** [[spoiler: Made even more poignant by how her newtype powers allow her spirit to say goodbye to everyone she had met. Even to Alberto, who was ''still on Earth'', watching the events unfold inside the Cheyenne base.]]
* The ''entire series'' can be seen is one big ShaggyDogStory as it highlights just how far gone the Universal Century had become, in stark contrast to the nigh utopian hopes placed by humanity at the very beginning of it. And given that the OVA eventually segues into ''F91'' and ''Victory'', you also know that whatever sense of peace the protagonists ultimately achieve are at best fleeting.

** When trying to connect a tow cable to the Garancieres and risking getting his mobile suit torn in half, Banagher gets silent encouragement from the spirits of [[spoiler:Daguza]] and [[spoiler:Gilboa]]. It's also implied that [[spoiler:Amuro Ray]] came back to lend a helping hand one final time.
