* In the [[ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogMegaManWorldsUnite Worlds Unite]] story "The Choice", Mega Man and X talk about the times they first chose to become fighters. X expresses his respect for Mega due to the latter never [[VideoGame/MegaManX7 losing his conviction]], but the real moment comes when X admits that he's been tempted to ask Light not to build him. Mega Man calls him out on that, saying that there's no telling what Dr. Wily's hidden away that could attack the people of his time, and that if he isn't around in the future to protect everyone, he'll feel a lot better knowing X ''is''. He finishes by telling X not to think such things anymore - his "big brother" says so. When Proto Man and Zero show up at the end to let the blue brothers know a meeting is about to start, they ask each other if they ever had to fight that red guy and answer in tandem "Yeah, but it's complicated!" followed by the two of them laughing. After everything X has been through, and despite the crisis at hand, he has a reason to laugh and smile thanks to his predecessor and "big brother". [[spoiler:A pity it all ends up undone thanks to Xander shooting Sigma in the past through a time portal, causing a temporal collapse that prevents the crossover from happening in the first place.]]

** If the Enigma or Shuttle succeed in destroying the Eurasia colony, Alia says to X and Zero (in regards to the Zero Virus) "I know we can't escape... so we'll just have to fight it! Go for it! We must bring this to an end once and for all!". But if both plans fail and Zero awakens? Alia says to X "It's too dangerous! NO! Don't go!". The way "NO" is capitalized almost makes it seem like she's ''begging'' X not to go, as if she's scared of losing him. It's not hard to read some anguished emotion into that line and imagine Alia holding X's hand while she says it, as if she's got feelings for him and [[VideoGame/MegaManX6 her falling out with a previous loved one]] still haunts her...
** Whether or not Zero has awakened, when the last stage becomes available, Alia says "I won't stop you from going to fight anymore...I leave everything in your hands..." While she could be saying this to Zero ''or'' X in the "Eurasia destroyed" path, it feels more personal on the "Zero awakened" path, when she's saying it just to X. Indeed, this line seems more fitting as a follow up to her anguished plea for X not to go fight the awakened Zero, as opposed to one where she encourages X and Zero to fight and thus wasn't trying to stop them to begin with. Alia accepts that it is X's destiny to fight for the fate of the world, and all she can do is hope that he's strong enough to make it back alive.

While she could be saying this to Zero ''or'' X in the "Eurasia destroyed" path, when you put it in the context of the previous scenario, it sounds like Alia is reluctantly accepting that X is the only one left who can stop Sigma.

* In the manga adaptation of the Crush Crawfish fight, X is forced to retreat to a safe distance when Crawfish takes a human hostage and cuts her hair with his claws as a threat, and then stresses hard over his aim as he tightly focuses a charged buster shot into an extremely tight, narrow beam to put the maverick down with a precision headshot. He finds his arms stuck in that position due to stress immediately after making the shot, but then he looks around and notices the extremely pleasant weather, and his arms free themselves as he finally relaxes.

* General sacrificing himself to destroy the Secret Weapon and save humanity at the end of X4.

* [[spoiler: Zero's return]] in X6. The music, and the joy in X's voice when [[spoiler:Zero reveals himself]] really sell the moment.

* In Zero's X6 ending, when he's [[spoiler:sealing himself away to purge the Maverick Virus from his system completely,]] the scientist in charge of the operation is concerned about what might happen in his absence. Zero calmly replies not to worry about it, as X will always be there to protect the world and calling him the superior hunter. He's got that much faith in his partner.

* Towards the end of the flashback of "The Day of Sigma" in ''Maverick Hunter X'', Dr. Light is clearly at the end of his lifespan and preparing to seal X away for the day he is ready in the future. Before he is sealed, X promises his father that he will use his powers to fight for good if needed, leaving Dr. Light to cry with pride for his son.
