>what matters is audience retention.
Which is why I'm pointing the spikes later in the show, which do indicate audience retention (before the timeslot change, of course, where everything comes crashing down). You have consistently lower and lower ratings up to the end of the Ennil El, but they start recovering during the Fort Severn and Sea arc, leading to the DX.

And I'd add the timeslot change isn't just a matter of X's merch doing "so bad" sponsors pulled out and it was moved. They literally hadn't secured that timeslot at all past a certain number of episodes in spite of the show start. Note it was replaced by a program completely unrelated to Sunrise - for comparison, for example, when the original Gundam was canceled, it was just another Sunrise robot show taking its place - Tryder G7. Gundam X's situation overall is extremely strange programming arrangement.
