Nine episodes from Gundam X's finale and I've been referring to it half-jokingly as "the only Gundam for boys" because it has very strong middle-grade kid adventure novel vibes.
I think the way this manifests in a more serious way is Jamil and Lancerow, an Amuro and Char dynamic that as far as I can tell does not have a Lalah to contextualize their relationship.
The longing and yearning for a divine feminine idol as was the case throughout Charmuro and represented through Lalah is replaced with an interpretation of their relationship as a "Warrior's Bond" type of situation
