Additionally, Gihren's warning from the original Gundam, "Looking too deeply into people's hearts will destroy oneself," was altered by Char in "Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX" as if embracing the sentiment, saying, "It is not good to peer too deeply into people's hearts. For between us, there will be no secrets."

The words may be similar, but the weight of position and emotion behind them is entirely different. In this world lacking Lalah Sune, the bond Char forms with Challia leaves a strong impression just by them facing each other beyond orders and rank.

On social media, comments like "The moment of intense emotions being born," "The scene where Char and Challia speak with wine somehow gets more emotionally charged," and "Truly, seeing Char change Challia's fate is deeply moving when recalling the original," were shared, with many viewers reflecting on the connections and layers with the past through their interactions.

Who could have predicted that a scene where the two, who never intertwined in "Mobile Suit Gundam," exchange words and shake hands, would stir the heart so much?

"Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX" is the latest installment of the "Mobile Suit Gundam" series that originated in 1979. It tells the story of high school girl Amate Yuzuriha, living peacefully in a space colony, getting involved in illegal mobile suit combat, known as "Clan Battle," following her encounter with the girl Nyaan. The joint production by Studio Khara, known for "Rebuild of Evangelion," and Sunrise created buzz, with the film released ahead of the TV series in January grossing over 3 billion yen.
