The Series in General[]
- And the Fandom Rejoiced: After War Gundam X being in Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 3, and the HG Gundam X model being released.
- Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: Garrod REPEATEDLY breaking out of his cell just to go get flowers for Tiffa. And then he returns to his cell.
- Crowning Music of Awesome: Several, to wit:
- Both OPs. X Made more awesome by the fact that they don't start until after the recap of the last few minutes of the previous episode, cliffhangers and all.
- Resolution is far more Hot-Blooded than Dreams, though. Listen to it and see if it doesn't get you fired up.
- And it gets even more Hot-Blooded once Masaaki Endoh does a remix for the song in the Lantis Gundam Tribute.
- The first ED (it's in English and it features that guy who started and finished "Voices That Care", dood!)
- A lot of the BGMs that play whenever battle is joined. The one that plays when the Satellite Cannon is deployed is notably epic. That track is called, surprise surprise, "Satellite Cannon".
- Fashion Victim Villain: Shagia looks all right with his frilly shirt and coat, but Olba's jacket and boots clash real bad.
- Germans Love David Hasselhoff: Despite never actually getting an official release of the series, American Gundam fans seem to appreciate Gundam X a great deal more than Japanese fans did.
- Memetic Badass:
- Jamil with his UC-hero-patchwork-persona, with Hotblooded Sideburns added.
- Also Garrod and Tiffa as a "Memetic Sweet Couple".
- Magnificent Bastard: Whether Shagia is one of these or a Smug Snake is a matter of some contention.
- Memetic Mutation See Gundam/Memes
- Moe: Tiffa Adil.
- The Scrappy: Olba Frost, the younger Frost, is ferociously bashed by fandom for supposedly being a male Yandere with a brother complex. Even his voice actor hates him - the role even gave him an aversion to "Nii-san".
- Signature Scene: Techcs Farzenberg pulling out his gun.
- Viewer Gender Confusion: Carris
- Vindicated by History:
- Its original release was overlooked, but it has recently built up quite a fanbase.
- Vindicated by History Super Robot Wars: Its frequent appearances in these has bolstered the fandom, especially its role in fan-favorite Super Robot Wars Z.
- It was already a fan-favourite long before Z came around: ever since its debut in Alpha Gaiden it's been one of the more popular of the A Us among the SRW fanbase.
- The Woobie: Tiffa.
The Gunplas[]
- Memetic Loser: Like what the Shenlong/Altron from Wing used to be, the Gundam Leopard, aka Roybea Loy's Gundam-type unit, somehow suffers from this given the unit's lack of a new HGAW model kit iteration. (The Gundam Leopard Da Vinci from Gundam Build Fighters Try does not count due to being a slimmer/modified version of it.)
- Tainted by the Preview: The HGAW Daughtess (a remold of the Eldora Daughtress kit from Build Divers Re:RISE) wounded up as a webshop exclusive instead of being a regular item, likely due to the company's lack of interest to the franchise's generally waned popularity.
- They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: Any of the new iterations (HGAW, MG) of the Gundam-type units such as the Leopard.
