#didn't she unleash Aerial's power on Quinharbor to also avenge herself on Ochs Earth for perverting the ideals of GUND?

I'm really glad that Suletta and Miorine got their unambiguously happy ending. I get its significance as it portrayed a queer female couple with one of them a PWD WOC, both living a full, happy life especially after all that they've been through. I can see it has touched many people and that's good. And considering this was done in a big IP such as the Gundam franchise, it is a win.

That said, it really is appalling for me how war crimes and human experimentation go unpunished (with the exception of Shaddiq and Nika) in this series. Yes, Delling (and Sarius) are facing trials for Quinharbor and the Space Assembly League wipeout and Miorine is talking to the family of the victims of Gundam. But. The old hags of Peil Technologies don't exactly pay for experimenting on humans and vaporizing them when they have outlived their usefulness. Delling instigated the massacre at Folkvangr and Kennanji played a part in wiping out Elnora's family, comrades, friends, and mentor but they don't get to reckon that. There is no reckoning, no proper apology, no comeuppance. And considering Japan's shoddy history with apologies for its own war crimes and their honestly infuriating insistence that reparations = apology, especially when it comes to the issue of "comfort women"--not to mention their shrines dedicated to war criminals and their own record of human experimentation--G Witch's take on accountability is both unsurprising and yet still so disappointing. And before anyone goes off that this is just anime, media informs and is informed by society. Just as we can argue the significance of the happy ending of Suletta and Miorine, so too G Witch's treatment of accountability for perpetrators of massacre and human experimentation.
