“Gyunei sighed. To him, Char’s words sounded like an attempt to persuade Amuro. “But Captain, that’s impossible! Amuro will never ally himself with you!” […] Amuro and Char had once been brothers in arms. Gyunei was vexed by the thought that Char might still harbor feelings for Amuro.”

“Speaking of the first film, that [sensuality] isn’t limited to the scene between Amuro and Frau Bow. I believe it exists in Char and Amuro’s reunion as well. Kamille, a foreign body, gets between them so that everyone watching thinks: “You idiot!” Why that reaction? It’s because, in response to the sexuality between these two men, somewhere within all the viewers is the urge to shout: “Quit interfering, you’re just some punk kid!” That’s what I think (laughs).”

Interviewer: “So after watching the first film, which was also your introduction to Zeta Gundam, what were your thoughts?”
Yukana: “I came to the conclusion that nothing can beat the bond between Char and Amuro. The subtitle of the second film is Lovers, but I think Char and Amuro are the biggest lovers of all (laughs). I call them that, but their relationship transcends gender. For Char, there’s only Amuro, and for Amuro, there’s only Char… that was my impression.”
Interviewer: “Hmm, that’s perceptive of you (laughs).”

“That aside, Amuro and Char aren’t sworn enemies by any means. When the war is over with, the essential nature of their relationship would dictate they become good friends.”

“However, people exist possessing a single physical body. The memories accumulating in the depths of their bodies, intertwining with what we call emotions, shaped the men into the forms they were meant to occupy in the present. That’s exactly why, harboring a yearning in response to change, they desired the stimulation of one another. If they had encountered anyone besides themselves capable of stimulating them, they would never have ended up facing off in the way that they did. But, unfortunately, they were not able to discover a new Newtype in their midst.”

“Amuro and Char reunite for the first time in seven years. They picked up on each others presence before meeting in the flesh; truly, a bond beyond lovers.”

“Amuro even casts aside his antagonism toward Char. Since, by nature, he intrinsically likes Char, with that out of the way there’s no more cause for concern. That’s why Amuro is able to defend the airspace above Dakar and encourage Char as he wallows in self-reproach.”

Interviewer: “[At Dakar], Amuro defends the assembly and even finds it in him to chide a sullen Char. Did he not realize [Char’s true intentions] at the time?”
Tomino: “Amuro is fond of Char. So yes, he had an idea.”

“From his own response, Amuro knew Lieutenant Quattro was Char. Why else had his body gone so stiff? He felt it was out of true surprise that he now held his breath. The man, blonde with sunglasses, jumped off the crane; the way he carried himself was familiar to Amuro. “Why…?” Amuro gazed calmly at the man approaching him. His manner of walking was beautiful. “Char…” Amuro muttered. No hatred welled within him.”

アムロ・レイプ Amuro Raype is the best title for a Gundam doujin ever

If Char understood that understanding is why he and Amuro are on opposite sides, wouldn't that mean he understood that his father's philosophy was bullshit?
