Gundam: The Witch From Mercury Episode 7 Review

- Miorine stole the fucking show this episode. Her loud declaration of support for Suletta and her willingness to toss aside her pride just for her is momentous. Especially since earlier in the episode she said she’d do no such thing. Suletta is Miorine’s first and most treasured friend and by god will she be protecting her. The absolute balls she had to start up a Kickstarter right there was amazing. She also once again proves just how great she is at management strategy. Anyone who was scared of Mio just be a damsel should sit their ass down now. This girl’s taking her future into her own hands.

- This episode did a fun thing where Prospera turned out to be a big stinky bitch while Delling actually had a character outside of being an asshole. Prospera harasses Mio in a bid for something, while Delling gives Mio a chance to succeed and to face the horrors of Gundam with her own two eyes. I’m confident in my theory now that Delling won’t be the big bad, instead it’ll be Prospera and perhaps a coalition of the three main groups.

- Prospera finally confirms that the Vanadis Incident happened 21 years ago, so the famous Aerial = Eri theory is gaining some traction now.

- To talk about Suletta herself, we truly see just how naive she is in this episode and how much she’s been coat riding on the good fortune of others. She doesn’t figure out the Elan business, she willingly goes up on stage, and has can do nothing but make desperate pleas for her mother when confronted. Poor girl has grown up without malice in her life and now she has to fully confront it. Miorine can’t handle it all on her own. Suletta will need to stand up and make her own decisions. Also the reveal that her mother had been lying to her will definitely cause some friction. Prospera might be able to smooth it over, but eventually someone will point out to Suletta that her mom’s been making her ride a deathbot for years without telling her. Maybe we’ll finally see some cracks in Suletta’s lovely family facade that Prospera puts up

- Real Elan is a real big asshole. He has no care for Suletta at all and tricks her by taking her up on the stage to get harassed, and the whole time he’s playing a role that makes him look good. I hope Miorine or Guel punch him in the future

- Claude Shaddiq is out here watching the entire business world degrade around him and he’s just vibing. His relationship with Miorine is pretty cute. It seems like he had a crush on her for her practical, self-serving attitude, but now that she’s changing and leaning towards Suletta, he’s giving up the torch. I don’t know whether or not he was part of his dad’s plan, but it doesn’t seem like he cares either way. He’s definitely the Touga of the series and he’s the one I’m most scared of

- As for Nika, seems like she sold out some info (either on Aerial or Suletta) to Shaddiq for the thruster pack she put on Aerial. If you go back to Episode 6, you can see that she was taking the compliments badly and looked put off. The color of the thruster pack is also purple, one of Grassley’s signature colors. Whether or not Shaddiq and Anika’s relationship will continue on is something we’ll see, but I expect the truth to come out and Chuchu to be very sad

- My boy Lauda is fully conforming to his father’s puppet and has a hate boner for Suletta. I expect him to be one of Suletta’s most persistent enemies in a bid to get his brother back. But I’m sorry Lauda, once you fall for the tanuki, you can’t go back

- Now for the discussion about our gays new company, GUND-ARM. With the merging of Peil and Shin Sei, this now means we’ll be getting a lot more of real Elan. We also now have Pharact in our camp so woohoo, another deathbot. Now we just need some pilots and workers. Obviously, I think Earth House will join, with Chuchu as one of the pilots, but we still need another one. And that’s where my best boy Guel comes in. He’s living in the woods, he’s touching grass, and now he’ll be part of the lesbian robot corp. Maybe we’ll even get a fight between him and his brother if all goes well (bad?). As for the development of GUND technology, this is gonna be the real issue. Peil had to make engineered humans to pilot their machine and we don’t know what fucked up thing Prospera did to Aerial, but I’m expecting this to be the groups hardest mission.

- Overall, amazing episode with great development into Miorine and Suletta’s relationship as well as building a clear path forward. I hope everything goes well, but we know it won’t. Fuck Prospera, fuck Peil, fuck Real Elan, and Guel is still best boy despite no appearing in the episode
