Line 8:
While scheduled for 49 episodes, it was cut short down to 39 due to [[Executive Meddling]]. Despite this resulting in the final arc being compressed from a planned 12 episodes to a mere 3, Gundam X managed to have an entirely coherent (if rushed) ending. It's sequel manga "Under The Moonlight", has become quite popular, and appearences in the [[Super Robot Wars]] games have gained it more popularity in recent years.
[[After War Gundam X
----
=== After War Gundam X has examples of: ===
* [[After the End]]: 99% of the Earth's population got wiped out in mass [[Colony Drop]] ''before the series even began.'' Welcome to a Planetary scope and Species Extinction scale [[Apocalypse How]].
* [[Alternate Continuity]] / [[Alternate Universe]]: In addition to being an alternate Gundam timeline, the series' backstory strongly resembles a worst-case scenario version of [[Mobile Suit Gundam
* [[Ambiguous Disorder]]: Tifa is fixated on her creepy drawings & her soft, loose-fitting wardrobe looks like something a girl with sensory integration issues would wear. Par for the course with Newtype kids, really, though.
* [[Attack Drone]]: More like Mobile-Suit-sized Attack Drones: the G-Bits.
Line 36:
* [[Chivalrous Pervert]]: Roybea Loy, hits on many girls and cared for them... repeatedly dumped. {{spoiler|He does, however, finally get lucky at series' end.}}
* [[Colony Drop]]: This '''is''' Gundam, after all, and ''X'' has the biggest one in the franchise; the backstory is that ''numerous'' colonies were successfully dropped, to the point that humanity itself is an endangered species.
* [[Cool Big Sis]]: Lucille Lilliant. {{spoiler|Before her [[Girl in
* [[Cool Shades]]: Jamil wears them. {{spoiler|He ditches them at the start of the last episode, though.}}
* [[Dark-Skinned Blond]]: Toniya.
* [[Death of a Thousand Cuts]]: The Correl (see [[Fragile Speedster]] below) is armed with nothing but a weak beam dagger, meaning this is the only way it can destroy an enemy MS (they even say the trope name).
* [[Disk One Final Boss]]: The battle in episode 4 and 5. The way Episode 5 ends makes you think the show ended here... until the black screen with white letters saying PREVIEW comes up. And if you didn't know there are 39 episodes.
* [[Everyone Can See It]]: Between Garrod and Tiffa, so much so that several episodes feature [[Shipper
* [[Evolving Credits]]: In the first opening, Dreams, Gundam X's appearance changes to that of the X-Divider after being rebuilt in the aftermath of the fight against Carris. It also promotes the Frost brothers to the opening as well. The opening changes * again* , showing the silhouette of Gundam Double X once they start mentioning it. The second opening, Resolution, changes once, replacing Leopard with Leopard Destroy as well as briefly showing the G-Falcon.
* [[Expy]]: Lancerow Dowell is the requisite Char Clone, but Jamil is the series' first ever Amuro Clone (with Quattro's shades, a less crippling version of Kamille's brain injury and Bright's pimp hand). Ennil El even has a few trappings of Ramba Ral in her, down to using blue robots and bonding with Toniya over some drinks with neither one realizing who the other is. Ennil also shares Ramba's affinity for grenades. {{spoiler|Fortunately, it ends much better for her.}}
** In the realm of mecha let's not forget the Leopard, which is an as-close-to-blatant-but-not-really Expy to [[Mobile Suit Gundam Wing
** Lancerow may be [[Char Clone|A CHAR]], but physically he looks like a redheaded Trieze Khushrenada. Ironically, one of Treize's aides late in ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam Wing
** The G-Falcon unit is similar in form and functionality to that of the G-Armor, only the G-Falcon was built to support three Gundam Class Mobile Suits instead of a prototype.
* [[Fake-Out Make-Out]]: Ennil and Dr. Tex Farzenberg
Line 64:
* [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!]]: Jamil (and Dr. Farzenberg) does this to Garrod more than once in the series when the kid goes out of line.
** Mind you, Jamil even passes on this epic manly philosophy into Garrod {{spoiler|before Garrod faces Carris once more}} in a manner most awesome: ''"When a man strays from the right path, a kind man needs the courage to raise his fist and correct him."'' Garrod doesn't actually '''punch''' people to get them into shape, but his actions after Jamil's advice [[Took a Level In Badass|prove that those words really did have a positive effect on him]].
* [[Girl in
* [[Global Currency]]: Averted. In episode 20, when the Frieden arrives at a prosperous port city, the crew is shown exchanging their currency at a booth.
* [[Grand Theft Me]]: {{spoiler|Since she's kept inside a capsule, Lucille uses her powers to possess Tiffa's body and use her as a medium so she can reach for her "little brother" Jamil.}}
* [[Gundam vs. Series]]: The GX (can turn into Divider) and Virsago are in ''Gundam vs Gundam NEXT'', with the Double X recently revealed as a [[Bonus Boss]].
** ''[[Extreme Vs]]'' has both the Virsago and Double X, with the Ashtaron and G-Bits as assist units.
* [[Guns Akimbo]]: Gundam Leopard is just loaded with almost all kinds of gunnery a la [[Mobile Suit Gundam Wing
* [[Happy Ending]]: A rare one for Gundam. {{spoiler|Olba and Shagia are defeated, the Satellite System is destroyed, the NUNE and the Colonies make peace, and the various couples live on happily in a recovering world...oh, and did I mention all the main characters live? [[Kill'Em All]] Tomino wouldn't ever have let that happen.}}
** {{spoiler|Note that Olba and Shagia are simply ''defeated'' but don't ''die''. [[Super Robot Wars Alpha|Super Robot Wars Alpha Gaiden]], [[Super Robot Wars Reversal]] and [[Another
* [[Hard Work Hardly Works]]: Averted. Garrod realizes after losing to Carris that unless he trains furiously in simulators to get used to fighting against Bits, he's never going to win against a Newtype.
** Also partially subverted when he sees the solution to those pesky Bits in action; by Jamil, no less.
Line 92:
* [[Mighty Glacier]]: The Gable, one of the [[Psycho for Hire]] MS used in the Estard arc, fits this trope to a tee, being gigantic, heavily armored, and using a beam deflection system for further defense. It doesn't even use weapons; instead battling enemy MS with nothing more than its titanic fists.
* [[More Dakka]]: The Gundam Leopard - which is somewhat fitting since it plays the role of fire support.
* [[Mythology Gag]]: It wouldn't be a Gundam series without several of these to [[Mobile Suit Gundam
** During the Estardo arc, the Frost Brothers promise potential Newtypes a two-rank promotion if they defeat Garrod. Ramba Ral was similarly offered one.
** In episode 31, when faced with mobile suits equipped with beam rifles while {{spoiler|trying to destroy a space shuttle to prevent Garrod from making it into space to chase after Tifa}}, Shagia Frost, in his ''red'' Virsago, takes down one of the mobile suits and declares, "It doesn't matter how powerful your weapon is if you can't hit me!" Remind you of what a [[Char Custom Rule|red-mobile-suit-piloting]] Commander said in the second episode of a previous series?
Line 100:
* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: Fixx Bloodman comes to mind.
* [[Nice Job Fixing It, Villain]]: Arguably, by {{spoiler|turning their Satellite Launcher on Bloodman and Zidel, the only two who really wanted to go to war}}, the Frost Brothers {{spoiler|did more to pave the way for peace than any other single action in the series}}.
* [[No Export for You]]: An example that absolutely ''mystifies'' most fans and drives them batty. It's a show ''set largely in America'', it's stylistically very similar to the incredibly popular and successful ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam Wing
** The smash hit of ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam Wing
* [[Patrick Stewart Speech]]: Garrod usually replies to an enemy with either this or [[Shut UP, Hannibal]].
* [[People Jars]]: {{spoiler|Lucille Lilliant, Jamil's [[Cool Big Sis]] and first love, was put in a coma and placed in a capsule in suspended animation}}
* [[Playing Against Type]]: [[Mika Kanai]], Tiffa's seiyuu, is best known for her archetypal [[Genki Girl]] performances. Here, she's playing a painfully shy and softspoken lass. Likewise, Chieko Honda's previous Gundam role was [[Genki Girl]] [[Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ
** Let's not forget that the person who voiced Carris Nautilus - [[Yuko Mizutani]] - went on to voice [[Super Robot Wars Compact 2|Excellen Browning]].
** And Garrod Ran's voice actor [[Wataru Takagi]] plays against type, too. He usually plays the [[Big Guy]] in other anime he's casted in.
Line 113:
* [[Razor Floss]]: [[Weapon of Choice]] of Dweyt Langraf in episode 27.
* [[Relationship Voice Actor]]: Toshiyuki Morikawa (Shagia) and Nozomu Sasaki (Olba) often play either best friends or brothers.
** Morikawa (Shagia Frost) also worked with Yuko Mizutani (Carris Nautilus). They had worked together before in ''[[
* [[Sapient Cetaceans]]: One arc has a [[Mysterious Waif]] actually talk to dolphins, presumably with her [[Psychic Powers]]. The arc also includes a white dolphin, which seems to be psychic itself.
* [[Scavenger World]]: there's so much scavenging going on, there's a name for doing so. ''Vultures''.
* [[Screwed
** Yet the director and writers manage to resolve all the [[Love Dodecahedron|romantic]] [[Pair the Spares|subplots]] AND pull out a convincing ending in 39 episodes (given its premature cancellation). Talk about a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] for the staff.
*** Made more impressive because the series was penned single-handedly by Hiroyuki Kawasaki. And he didn't know somewhere around episode 30 that he'd only have 9 more episodes to finish things up; prior to that he thought he'd be getting the Gundam standard of around 50 episodes.
Line 127:
** Gundam Virsago is a [[Palette Swap]] of the Shenlong Gundam from Gundam W.
** The G-Bits resemble GM's.
** There is an operation before the colony drop where the Colonies [[Mobile Suit Gundam Wing
** In the beginning of the first episode, we see hundreds of Mobile Suits that look like Zaku IIs and Gelgoogs. The Daughtress bears resemblance to the GM.
** Jamil Neate. Just, Jamil Neate.
Line 135:
* [[Super Robot Wars]]: Debuted in ''Alpha Gaiden'', also shows up in ''Reversal'' and the ''Z'' series.
* [[This Is Reality]]: In episode 10, Garrod duels his first Newtype opponent, Carris, and declares that even a Newtype won't beat him. Cue a ''brutal'' [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown]] that utterly wrecks the Gundam X before Carris combines this kind of speech with a [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]].
* [[The End of the World
* [[Spell My Name
* [[The Starscream]]: The Frost Brothers
* [[The Stoic]]: Jamil Neate. {{spoiler|Quite a contrast with his [[Cheerful Child]] former self...}}
Line 142:
* [[Stripperiffic]]: Ennil El is one of the few pilots in Gundam history who strips down when piloting her robot.
** In fact, she may have [[Pun|jump-started]] the entire [[Gainaxing]] trend in [[Super Robot Wars]] via her appearance in [[Super Robot Wars Alpha|Alpha Gaiden]].
* {{spoiler|[[Suicide
* [[Super Robot Wars]]: Has appeared in ''[[Super Robot Wars Alpha|Alpha Gaiden]], [[Super Robot Wars Reversal|R]]'' and more recently ''[[Super Robot Wars Z|Z and Z2]]''.
* [[Tag-Team Twins]]: The Frost Brothers.
