We actually see four helmet designs in Gundam, with a clear sense of rank:

- Brown helmet: Standard for Zeon soldiers.
- Brown helmet with silver crest: Dren.
- Silver helmet with silver crest: Char.
- Silver helmet with gold crest: Kycilia.

He is pretending to have space-eye problems that require corrective glasswear. The helmet make more sense than glasses for a pilot, but less sense than contact lenses

Contact lenses are a really bad idea in any military environment due to dust and gases getting behind the lens and either being really uncomfortable or damaging the eye. For reference, I don't think any current military allows contact lenses for anyone doing real work, though remfs may get away with them in places.

The implied reasoning of why he wears the goggles from the Origin is because he wore them into battle during the uprising and it's associated with him because of it. His claimed space eye disability is why no one questions why homeboy is always wearing them or shades. Then again, Zeon is all about questionable fashion statements.

To be clear, the mask and helmet are two separate things. The mask is a set of 'corrective' armoured goggles, while the helmet is standard-issue for a mid-ranking Zeon officer.

That actually helps a lot and makes the outfit make more sense thank you.

2: Put your junk in that box
3: Make him open the box

And Santa uses his Newtype powers to bond with kids and see into their soul if they've been naughty or nice. Santa is the UC's strongest Newtype, confirmed.

Has there ever been a Gundam (or other franchise?) super-invincible robot where it is defeated by hitting it hard enough the squishy human inside doesn't survive? That's IBO Season 3 I guess. They made the robots even tougher, so now the only way to disable them is with immobilization or hitting them hard/rapidly enough the pilots are pulped.

In Gundam 00 the Gundams themselves are near invincible so the strategy the armies come up with is exhausting and tiring out the pilots inside.

Edit: Also as far back as the original Mazinger the villains would focus on beating/frying/etc Koji to death inside the Mazinger's plider cockpit since the machine itself was invincible.

Amuro and Kamille were both electrocuted in their cockpits as a way to beat the pilot instead of the mech.
