Many of the characters are named after numerals, particularly French numbers. Lady "Une" = One "Duo" Maxwell = Two (Deux) "Trowa" Barton = Three (Trois) "Quatre" Raberba Winner = Four General "Septem" = Seven (Sept) "Treize" Khushrenada = Thirteen "Quinze" Barton = Fifteen "Milliardo" Peacecraft = Billion (Milliard) "Zechs" Merquise = six (German)

The series contains several references to The Wizard of Oz (1939), all of which are tied to the military group OZ. The character Dorothy Catalonia is named for Dorothy Gale, the emblem for the Specials (OZ's cover identity) is a profile of the Tin Woodsman's head, the Romefeller Foundation (OZ's sponsors) uses a lion for its symbol, and in episode 35 an OZ pilot uses the call sign "Scarecrow 5".

The character of Lucrezia Noin was originally based off of Garma Zabi from the original _Mobile Suit Gundam_, in parallel to Zechs Merquise being based off of Garma's friend (and eventual betrayer) Char Aznable. The Taurus mobile suit was designed with Noin's original personality in mind, the keywords being "sleek" and "sinister", and it retains this appearance despite Noin being revised into a gentler, more motherly character.

When Sally Po is introduced, she talks in a high-pitched, almost little girl-like voice. In later episodes, her voice is far more gruff.

Duo Maxwell: Hey, wave back to them or something, they're cheering for us, Superstar!

Duo Maxwell: Well she's not your average chick, wanting to see the guy who's trying to kill her.

Quatre Raberba Winner: Cut it out, you guys!
