they heard of the tv show
it's like how Otakon uses that "just like one of my Japanese animes!" meme

Name 20 instances of this happening in at least 10 different shows

Depends what would count. It could easily be filled if you use all the "THAT'S THE GUNDAM!" or "THERE'S A GUNDAM DOWN HERE!" lines, but those aren't really so much about the name as people losing their shit that an ubermech has arrived on the field. Even in Unicorn, where they were all "Be advised... the new mobile suit is a Gundam type!" "What, a Gundam, no way!!" were mostly on reputation.

Each setting has it's own explanation, basically boils down to "Oh shit it's the infamous mobile suit that's really good at killing". For some people it's "shit its gonna kill me", for others it's "fuck yeah gundam, fuck em up"

Pretty sure that's the last thing enemy grunt will shouted whenever they're witness the White Devil in action

Because in OYW it has gained the legendary status as a killing machine. It's like the Lockheed F-117 in the 80's. "oh fuck, the super secret aircraft with stealth capabilities".

Basically propaganda... which enters in the imagination of the people, as a kind of iconic war simbol.

>F-117 in the 80's
The RX-78 didn't stay a secret very long, especially amongst the enemy troops. Everyone in Zeon knew about the White Devil. And everyone in the EF knew about the undefeated Feddie mobile suit and how one Gundam defeated wave after wave of Zeon attackers.
It's more than just "oh, shit, that's the latest tech", its more like the legend of the Flying Dutchman where if you see it at all that means you're going to die.
