G-Witch episode 10 thoughts

This episode had so much happen in a small timeframe. All of it excellent but it's gwitch, so is anyone surprised? It's so efficient at conveying what it needs to and keeping us engaged. Going to touch on my overall thoughts linearly so I don't miss something important—

And right off the bat, we're treated to a drastic change in Suletta. Where once she was a bit neutral when mentioning Miorine, she's now progressed to blushing and gushing over her bride. She takes pride in being the only person who can tend Mio's greenhouse. This smitten goof even counted the days and hours until Mio returns. My god, this was a welcome surprise

Buying matching keychains too?? I've consumed enough anime/manga to know this isn't the behavior of a mere friend. There's a romantic connotation that can't be ignored, and combined with Suletta's insistence that she's the groom to Mio's bride—Suletta fall in lova

btw this joke is gold and coming from Suletta made it more hilarious. My guilty pleasure is puns, and it's nice the translators adapted it perfectly for us english watchers

The company progression in this episode was also incredible. We have them focusing on furthering GUND prosthetics and the inclusion of Belmeria is lovely after the revelation she was once an aspiring medical engineer. It's evident Belmeria is all too happy to see GUND's original purpose flourish, while Prospera seems apathetic at best :/

Of course, it's not all rainbows in Sulemio land as company intrigue is alive and well. Another Elan clone took the stage too, this one apparently close to Elan Prime in wicked personality. He's a snake and sows doubt in Suletta's Mio-infatuated head.

She pushes him away and flees, openly disturbed. It's good Suletta's rose-colored Elan lenses fractured but his words left their mark. And Miorine's next scene worsens it inadvertently.

Now I don't blame Miorine for reacting the way she did. It makes perfect sense imo for her to consider all the tasks she gave to Suletta as burdens and not something Sulletta has taken with pride. Miorine has never had someone do anything for her simply because they care. She's used to transactional relationships so this isn't surprising behavior.

We as the audience know Suletta has changed in her feelings for Mio. Mio does not, and is working off of outdated notions of Suletta's Elan fixation. There's also the chance Mio spotted the two together earlier and misunderstood what was happening. Either way, Mio is only doing what she feels Suletta would want... a hit and then a miss. Still, they're moving slowly toward each other even if it doesn't seem like it. Romantic tension is here everybody~

Speaking of romance and contenders, Shaddiq remains in the game. I had a feeling he hadn't thrown in the towel just yet; he's far too crafty and ambitious. We know his play now too or parts of it. He's deciding to bypass the duel system altogether and go right for the throat of Benerit.

He makes an interesting point that despite Holder Suletta, Shin Sei cannot take control after Delling passes/cedes. Mio's shares alone aren't enough. He intends to rid Bernerit of Delling regardless, and if his gambit with the Earthian mercenaries we see is successful then I assume he'll strong-arm Mio into an alliance to secure Benerit for Grassley and Mio—perhaps with another proposal. It's shady but not unexpected.

Because Shaddiq is the prince of this Utena homage. Something Elan was also previously referred to; only not an icy fake. Shaddiq has officially been upgraded to a major antagonist in other words. I could be looking too deep into the Utena parallels but considering gwitch (and Ōkouchi) knows their stuff I'm not discounting anything.

Poor Nika is caught in the middle, and her father of sorts seems to head the earthian group—Dawn of Fold. If the next episode title is any indication, we're in for a reckoning.

Oh and Guel appeared again... as a worker? That's neat, though I wonder if he'll help fend off the Earthian 'witches' somehow. Guel's fate is most uncertain at the moment, but I'm curious where he'll go from here!

But enough of the dour future. Let's all bask in Suletta declaring she's the groom in this relationship like a twitterpated goober

Edit: A friend mentioned to me the possibility of Imposter Mio and it makes too much sense for me to dismiss it. Peil facial switching tech, Elan 5, and Mio's early arrival? It's very suspect. I assumed her outsourcing the greenhouse work was just Mio being conscientious of Suletta, but now...

gundam: the witch from mercury cour 2 ep 2/ep 14, spoilers ahead!

okay okay i did make a post freaking out about this episode, but i'm a bit normal again. if you haven't watched the prequel episode, i highly recommend doing that! my personal watch order was watching gwitch ep 1 season 1 and then doing the prequel, it made for a really cool experience and gave me much to think about and OH BOY ep 2 has me THINKING HARD.

we get more of prospera's evil schemes... is it evil? she wants to end all war... by the end of the ep... YEAH it's fucking evil lol.

i am so glad that the earth students aren't just being tossed aside for the main plot, they are being included as a part of the stakes. nika's involvement with shaddiq's plans and them all having personalities, it's so nice to see! martin is becoming more and more upset with nika and nika we are seeing both a bit of nika's backstory as well as her personal wants and dreams beyond the mask that she has put up for everyone. her story about her being in extreme poverty and working on machines and being really happy about being able to go to school, if viewers haven't picked up on war is bad themes yet... this episode for sure solidifies so much. even still, she wanted to bare the burden of everything after realizing how bad everything was turning out to be. even still, she didn't want her fellow earthians getting involved and wants them and suletta to have a normal school life... but nika is just a kid too 😭🥺

also lol...elan is so annoying oh my god.. i know he is like desperate to live, but damn lol 😭

also just a side note but lilique is so cute!! she's very sweet and was just trying to share goat milk with space ppl, they did not have to be so disgusted with it!! also one thing i appreciate is that there are characters with a variety of bodies. lilique is a plus size teenage girl and she even had normal teen boy troubles in season 1 when things were more normal... <3

okay onto the rumble ring: um another side note but lauda having a moment with petra while that other girl is like HUH...dat cold hearted boy is capable of having feelings?

anyway,.. the emotional beats of the rumble ring happening with like all of the pilots personal goals and thoughts coming together on a "mock" battle field while belmeria confront prospera is so chef's kiss. like ugh so much is happening and then chuchu in her usual anger at the elite/spacians is about to blast them in her machine, but it thwarted by flashbacks from the plant quetta incident... i really think that plant quetta is such a major turning point for all of the earthians. they have had to suffer the most already, and now they realities of war are starting to sink in. i'm also just assuming that chuchu's rage is mostly from experiencing the prejudice and aftermath of war as well as wealth inequality and being raised by her 9 dads who are amputees or disabled in other ways from warfare, but she herself has never experienced it first hand until plant quetta. all these earth kids are being haunted by the consequences of imperial and capitalist violence and they are the ones who must endure the most. it's such a noteworthy moment for me in this episode, especially after sophie and norea make their appearance and nearly kill lauda. chu, even after everything knows the reality of war violence and moves to protect them because she doesn't want to see anymore people die.

but chu isn't the only one in the aftermath of war, that's all of the earthians, including sophie and norea... when sophie gives her mini monologue about the things she wants, the things she will kill for "meals big enough to fill my stomach, a fluffy bed to sleep on, warm showers, [...] and also.. a family who will always love me" despite the killing, you can't help but feel for them too, they also took on the "GUNDAM curse" to pilot killing machines to hopefully change their lives. and they fully believe in what they're doing because they have no other choice. the fate of the witches from earth is tragic because children fighting wars in machines that kill them is tragic.

new elan clone doesn't want to die, so he is also fighting for his life, nika has been kidnapped, suletta is starting to realize the weight of taking a life. sophie and norea... i shan't go on... there is so much happening and at the centre of it all is prospera and truth about eri samaya... "creating a world where eri will be happy" AAAHHHHHH

any way i'm going to become a villain now 🚬🐀😭 we're really in it for real now... earth students PLS survive!!
