Translated this one from the pre-s2 stream ✌ deciphering handwriting is pain so if there's any mistranslations here. yeah. OTL

It's one thing if the bully character at the school our main characters go to wears his school uniform jacket over his shoulders like a cape. That's an established trope for delinquents.

It's another, much funnier thing for his CEO father to do the same thing with his suit jacket.

Do you think the fact that everything is (indirectly) his fault ever weighs on Lauda Neill?

It was his indifference to (pre character development) Guel destroying Miorine's garden, him telling Suletta "why don't you do something about it", that lead to Suletta challenging and beating Guel, leading to Guel's downward spiral, sending Jeturk into chaos, leading to their father's death (granted Lauda isn't quite aware of how that connects but still), and leaving him to pick up the pieces

I think on some level he does recognize it, but is in denial

Vim Jeturk: You played me like a fiddle!

Shaddiq: Oh no. Fiddles are actually difficult to play. I played you like the cheap kazoo that you are

thinking about the fact that if vim hadn't interfered with the duel in episode 3 then it would've ended in 30 seconds and sule never would've witnessed guel's strength and given him the only genuine compliment he's ever received resulting in him 'moving forward' by running away and ultimately jumpin in the desultor that kills vim

The Witch from Mercury: The Story So Far

So, a lot of developments happened in the first part of Witch from Mercury that will almost certainly affect events in the next part, but it occurred to me that some folks, for various reasons, might not remember everything and be a bit confused. Below I have written a cheat sheet of plot points for anyone who might need or want it; enjoy : )

Note: Contains spoilers for the prologue, the Cradle Planet short story, episodes 1-12, and the season 2 trailer; also very long

*The Holder system of the Asticassia School of Technology gives both status recognition and the hand of Miorine Rembran in marriage to whichever student pilot proves themselves the best by mobile suit dueling. The current Holder is Suletta Mercury, who, after defeating the school’s other top pilots, promised Miorine that she would not lose any duels, which all but guarantees the two will be wed on Miorine’s next birthday. The system was instituted by Miorine’s father, Delling Rembran, the President of the Benerit Group, but it is unpopular with other CEOs of rival corporations in the Group, and there is a possibility they might opt to nullify it in the event of Delling’s death.

*Suletta’s interactions with her mobile suit, Gundam Aerial, has shown that Aerial has some degree of sentience, but this is currently known only to Suletta and her mother, Prospera Mercury, and has not been explored in detail (yet). This sentience is possibly related to the fact that Aerial is currently the only Gundam that does not harm their pilot due to data overload, and instead seems to handle that function herself, but the reason why that is has also not been explored in detail (yet).

*The revelation of Aerial’s status as a Gundam, which had been outlawed by Delling around the time he ordered the attack on the Vanadis Institute, prompted Miorine to form a company called Gund-Arm Inc. to prevent Aerial from being dismantled and Suletta from being expelled. Miorine enlisted Earth House, a group of Earthian students who had befriended Suletta and whose mechanics had repaired Aerial, as her first employees. Due to the influence of Suletta and Earth House, Miorine researched Gund technology, and opted for the company to manufacture prosthetics. Earth House was present for an attack that took place at Plant Quetta and survived thanks to the actions of Nika Nanaura.

*Guel Jeturk, former heir of Jeturk Heavy Machinery and ex-fiance of Miorine, lost his status as Holder after being defeated by Suletta. This disgrace resulted in him being ousted from his house and camping on school grounds, and eventually running away from his family to join a construction company, only to be captured by an Earthian mercenary group called Dawn of Fold as part of their plan to attack Plant Quetta. Guel escaped and attempted to combat Dawn of Fold in a stolen mobile suit, but instead battled and mistakenly killed his own father, Vim Jeturk. Guel’s current whereabouts are unknown, and his half-brother, Lauda Neill, has become the new CEO of Jeturk.

*The boy that most know as Elan Ceres, heir of Peil Technologies, is actually referred to by Peil’s four CEOs as Enhanced Person No. 5, a boy whose memories have been erased and body reshaped to appear identical to the real Elan, who uses body doubles to test pilot Gundam Pharact to avoid the harm or potential death that most Gundams inflict on their pilots due to overloading them with data. No. 5 is the successor of No. 4, who duelled with Suletta and seemed likely to become her friend, until the CEOs of Peil decided he was no longer useful and murdered him; no one is currently aware of No. 4′s death, or that No. 4, No. 5, and Elan are all different people, except for the CEOs of Peil, No. 5, Elan, Belmeria Winston, and possibly Prospera. No. 5 is currently an employee of Gund-Arm Inc., but was not present at the Plant Quetta incident.

*Shaddiq Zenelli, the heir of Grassley Defense Systems, is unlike his father, Sarius Zenelli, who wants to abolish Gundams. Shaddiq instead sees Gundams as potentially useful, and attempted to seize control of Gund-Arm Inc., but was defeated by the combined strength of Suletta and Earth House in a duel. Shaddiq then used his connection with Nika to contact Dawn of Fold directly, and hired them to attack Plant Quetta and assassinate President Delling, with the intent to cause chaos for the Benerit Group. No one knows that Shaddiq is responsible for the Plant Quetta attack, except for his lieutenants in Grassley House, the leadership of Dawn of Fold, and possibly Nika; Vim was also aware, but his death rendered that irrelevant.

*During its attack on Plant Quetta, Dawn of Fold revealed that it had two Gundam pilots of its own, Norea Du Noc and Sophie Pulone. Sophie briefly fought Suletta, but she and the rest of Dawn of Fold retreated when Suletta displayed the increased firepower of the Rebuild version of Aerial. It seems likely Norea, and possibly Sophie as well, will infiltrate Asticassia and threaten Nika with a knife.

*Prospera has affirmed her identity as Elnora Samaya, a former Vanadis pilot, wife of Nadim Samaya, and mother of Ericht Samaya. Her former colleague, Belmeria, suspects that Prospera desires revenge against the Benerit Group, and Prospera has outright confirmed that to Aerial, but the exact nature of that revenge is currently unclear. Despite the fact that Delling ordered the attack on the Vanadis Institute that killed most of Prospera’s colleagues and family, Prospera is currently working with him on a secret project called Quiet Zero, which for reasons unknown, requires combat data from Aerial.

*As CEO of Gund-Arm, Miorine purchased a space ship that can carry all of Gund-Arm’s employees, and has offered friendship to Feng Jun of the Space Assembly League, a group that previously offered to smuggle Miorine to Earth, but about which little else is currently known. After a misunderstanding with her groom, Miorine affirmed that she no longer wishes to run away and instead wants to marry Suletta, but the two were then separated during the Plant Quetta incident. Miorine encountered her father, Delling, who mentioned Miorine’s mother, Nortette, and hinted that there was more to her death than Miorine had known, but was then critically wounded trying to protect Miorine. After Dawn of Fold’s retreat, Miorine and Delling encountered one of the mercenaries, who was killed by Suletta with brutal force, which horrified Miorine. Two weeks after this, Delling remains in critical condition at a Benerit hospital with Miorine by his side.

*Suletta’s previous doubt and anxiety about her relationship with her bride, Miorine, was resolved just before the attack on Plant Quetta. When the two were separated, Suletta sought out Aerial to fight back, and encountered several mercenaries, who were then killed by her mother. Prospera demonstrated an unusual level of influence over her daughter, and persuaded Suletta that killing was okay to protect the people you love. Suletta then drove off Dawn of Fold, and saved the lives of both Miorine and Delling, but acted very out of character in the process. Two weeks later, she is waiting for Miorine to return and will likely be dealing with the dueling challenges issued while Aerial was being repaired. The issue of Suletta being Prospera’s daughter and looking like a grown up version of Ericht, but only being 17 years old while the attack on Vanadis seems to have taken place 21 years ago has not been addressed (yet).

And that’s a summary of The Witch from Mercury, as of April 8th, 2023; what tomorrow holds, we shall see : )
