So im really not sure if this is a translation weirdness or is she literally calling Suletta “the girl” @.@
UPDATE: im being told it is NOT a translation weirdness
Witch from mercury s 1 e 14 spoilers!!!
theories ive concocted:
1. Suletta came from the machine because she wanted to go to school!!!!
2. How many red headed girls are in that gundam????
3. Could the mom (i dont remember her name) have put everyone from ep 0 in the Aeriel?? like, Suletta keeps talking to “everyone” and thats more then one!!! no matter how many the mom claims there are!!!!
4. Sophie died in a data storm while in a super high level of gund whatever! Did she, did she, get sucked into a robot?
Brain fizzled goodnight!

Alright, I’d been meaning to leave this until I had more relevant images to draw from, or more to say on the topic significantly, but -
Peil Technologies is run using a “sophisticated AI” and rates the various Elans using aptitude tests, with the AI deciding which one is best for that particular time. It’s possible this policy extends to the CEO’s as well (hence why there are four of them).
But the use of an AI by big business’ to increase profits while dehumanising pretty much everyone that’s involved with it?
My, that’s almost *topical*.
I wanna say it’s such an absolute treat to see all the new gundam fans chime in every new episode of g witch. I’ve loved this series since I was a kid so I’m extra happy to see so many new people dive into the franchise.
I hope some of you will also take a look into other shows like 00 or even build fighters! Im happy ya’ll are here :3
Here’s a nifty little chart to help you navigate the series :)
*heavy spoilers for Gundam: Witch from Mercury episode 19 follow*
I’m writing this almost immediately after watching this weeks episode, so it may come off as a little disjointed, but that’s also because a lot of stuff happens, so I’m going to use bullet points:
We finally know (sorta) what’s happening with Aerial. Eri died, went into Aerial, then Prospera made other children to act as biological components, of which Suletta is the most recent, and the one with the most autonomy. I think. It’s a little unclear as to exactly if there’s just one Eri in Aerial, if there’s multiple Eri’s or if the Eri in Aerial is fractured in some way.
Lauda! He thanks Chuchu and seems to be set up to do *something*. I’m really hoping for development on him.
Kenanji Avery’s back and he has a history with Guel that’s gonna be expanded on.
We’re gonna see (more of) what Earth’s like, and we’ll maybe see Olcott again (that guy with Dawn of Fold Guel talks to).
Shaddiq’s still working behind the scenes. I’m really interested in how this is gonna play out, since I fully expect him to fail on a personal level, but I’ve no idea what’ll become of his plans.
Martin’s just not having a good time. I kinda expect him to die at some point.
The Space Assembly league’s moving again. They’re having a chat with Belmiria (and honestly I feel like if they take her into protective custody then they’ve got a case).
And now we have the delightful double-whammy of:
Prospera actually expressing DOUBT over a choice she’s made and talking to aerial about it. And Aerial’s like “no, this was the best decision, look how happy she is” and it just cuts to suletta crying. And Prospera actually seems to feel…..bad? About manipulating this child to serve her own ends? I am loving this.
We know what Elan is!
*spoilers for Witch From Mercury Episode 20*
So a lot happened this week, but the aspect I most want to focus on is Belmeria with the Space Assembly League. Specifically, Feng Jun being (presumably) gunned down by Godoy (Prospera’s bodyguard) as Belmeria is hurried away by Guston.
Because I saw that, and immediately though of the scene in the prologue, where Ochs Earth is being raided, and Nyla shoves Wendy away just before she’s shot. So it’s interesting that from being the victim in that situation, Prospera’s moved to being the instigator. She’s actively carrying out and perpetuating the actions that were done to her, in the name of her own vengeance.
It feels like a good angle, especially for a series that tends to put weight on the cycle of hatred that leads to war, and how that needs to be actively rejected for the violence to end.

NO, LAUDA BUDDY, DON’T DO IT
JUST TALK TO SOMEONE I’M BEGGING YOU
Realisation: if Lauda ends up piloting the Gundam Schwarzette (since that’s my read on that scene from last episode), then that’s good, because more character focus. But it’s also bad, because it means he’s probably gonna die.

Kinda surreal how Shaddiq had this big grand plan to kidnap his father and deliver him to the Space Assembly League, thus blowing Benerit open wide to being dismantled, but Kenanji and Guel stopped him, but then Peil technologies were like “actually, let’s do that” and got them involved anyway.
Falling upward, perhaps?
(Though to be fair it isn’t the first time they’ve pulled this *cough* Pharact *cough*).
(Like yeah, Norea’s rampage probably also played a large part in this, but still).
Immediate thought while watching the opening of Witch From Mercury episode 22:
I wonder if this is a metaphor for how lack of oversight into corporate dealings will eventually lead to them becoming untouchable monoliths, where oversight is pointless because they can either absorb losses or just overrule them.
Update: having now watched episode 23, I can now say that it isn’t.
If only because a new, bigger metaphor came along.
