Mobile Suit Gundam the Witch from Mercury #12 "Keep Marching on Instead of Running Off"(w/subtitles) 

the tomatoes were foreshadowing to the final scene all along..... D:

23:06 - Suletta smashes the enemy to pulp 24:39 - Come buy our Suletta figurine on sale now! Gundam at it's finest!

Guel being caught in a crossfire, realizes it's no longer those school duels he frequently fought. It's a matter of life or death, being faced with his mortality and pushing past it. Dude shows he is an ace pilot to reckon with. How tragic he finally proves how strong he is to his old man, managing to get his approval and a sliver of affection from him, but in Gundam fashion, truly.

The best part of this episode is seeing both old and new fans of Gundam collectively go: "WHAT!".

마지막 쿠키영상이 정말 "도망치면 하나, 전진하면 둘."이란말이 슬레타를 세뇌시키는 말이란걸 보여주는거같음 눈앞에서 사람죽었다고 무서워하던애가 주문한번외우더니 바로 모기잡듯이 사람 죽여버리고

From slapping Guel's ass to slapping an Earthian to death, what a great character development

The "If you run ,gain one.Move forward,gain two" is definitely a sleeper callsign for suletta

Shits happened in one episode: - Nika finally got caught signaling the Terrorist. - Guel "accidentally" killed his father. - Suletta just slammed a Terrorist right in front of Miorine. - Nice new upgrade for Aerial.

That Jeturk's no sound explosion in space was amazing

This is where the REAL Gundam plot truly begins

24:37 Gotta love Sunrise's product placement. "Hey kids! You know that robot who just turned a person into tomato soup? Here's the model kit of it! Please buy! And while you're at it, please also buy the model kit for the girl who did the squishing too!"

I love how the theme develops from light-hearted high school life to startup business fight for establishing company to the real war.

This EP is where the slice of life, really becomes slice of life

It was only just a couple hours since Miorine hugged Suletta and cried on her shoulder, letting out her feelings. *"Can't you see im happy like this! Because of you, I dont have to run away anymore...so dont run from me"* ...I wonder what she feels now

@19:23 I love that you can see she instinctively shudder knowing something dangerous is coming up.

You've all seen Suletta. Now get ready for Psycholetta

Bob and Suletta did was the most gundam thing i've seen and that reaction by Miorine is golden. 👌

23:16 love how the arm just floats away and that floating arm is gonna stay on that ship forever

17:08 The symbolism of Suletta stepping onto a bloody journey. Also, don't miss the after credits scene.

I always have a theory that the whole "one if you run, two if you push forward" motto thingy kinda brainwash suletta to do things she doesn't really want to do, but it feels more direct in this episode with suletta being afraid seeing her mother kills to suddenly being totally ok after squashing people.

지금까지 결투니 뭐니 하면서 엔터테인먼트로 소비되어왔다고 해도 모빌슈트는 결국 살인병기에 불과하다는걸 적나라하게 보여준 에피소드

I expected Suletta would just go aim for the gun or push the guy a bit and make him unconscious. But no, she wanted to make a hot and filling tomato soup for her beloved waifu. Now here goes Mio-Mio eating all that PTSD.

That final scene was really...something. I couldn't even believe what we just saw, this is probably by far one of the most graphic human death from a mobile suit. When Aerial raised her hand I genuinely was thinking just what could a mobile suit of that size do to stop what was going to happen, maybe shield Miorine with her hand (which I am pretty sure has been done before, maybe in another mecha series I've watched but I can't remember), i didn't expect THAT at all. And when that "splat" happened I genuinely just mirrored Miorine's expression, I was THAT shocked too. We've seen people get vaguely crushed (usually as colleteral damage rather than intentional) and other times just giant laser beams destroying whole fleets, but the issue with that is that it become the spectacle itself (*cough* gundam seed), you don't actually realize just how many people are DYING, which is something a lot of the franchise loses sight on, because "wow cool robot!" Suletta's (or rather, Elnora's) mantra that pushed her forward in the beginning of the series (and prior in the novel) has finally reared it's ugly head. "If you run away, you gain one, if you move forward, you gain two", it is a novel mantra in itself, but it has twisted to become something much worse If protecting the ones you love means to kill, then perhaps "moving forward", is to kill. To Suletta, that was the answer she was told, that if people need to be killed to protect her loved ones, then she will kill, not realizing just what she's actually doing. People become less as "people", but the obstacle she has to push through, and it's precisely that mantra that's already bringing her to a path of bloodshed. A lot of really symbolic moments, like in 16:58 when Prospera reaches out her hand after justifying her reason to kill, Suletta would mirror that exact same pose to Miorine at 23:38, to which Miorine has an appropriate reaction: for it's an offer to a path of bloodshed. 18:35 Sophie actually says something something quite metaphorical here, "that's a scary face you got, if you asked me, i liked you better before!" You could say that she just meant that she liked the original aerial's face before, but from a literary POV it could also refer to the fact that Suletta and Aerial have both "become scary" (especially so in the post-credits scene) From a design perspective, the Aerial Rebuild in contrast to the original also reinforces this idea, the "V" crown piece is angled more aggressively, the limbs and general design has striven away from it's rounded edges (which design-wise makes for softer looks) to one with more angular edges all over. There is also a notable lack of primary colours, with much of the yellow on the main body gone and with the blue darkened and desaturated, it's night and day when looking at the MS profiles for their designs also in 19:36, one of Aerial's engineers point out something that seems very redundant but again it reinforces the entire symbolism of GUND-ARM "it's not made for combat, but it's still that powerful?" Reminder again that originally the GUND format was originally for medical purposes, but as time progressed people eventually realized it's potential for mobile suits An originally pure intention, distorting into something scarier Just like Aerial and Suletta, once pure and full of a novel hope, turning into something far worse. Fueled by her "wishes", the witch would very well be steered to kill, all for the sake of protecting those "wishes". Man what an amazing finale, this is by far my favourite Gundam AU ever, I can't wait for just what the team will do for the second season!

"마지막에 사람죽이는 병기를 장난감으로 파는 광고 엔딩까지 모든게 완벽한 수작.'

돌겠네 진짜

I'm not ready with that slap/slam, it caught me off guard. Her mom is up to something when she could convince Suletta to kill while smiling

The music when the Aerial Rebuild starts up for the battle is so good. I got chills from that music alone

Ep. 1-11: Cutesy Gundam show with duels inside a school where no one dies Ep. 12: Bob killing his own father, Delling is critically injured, Nika gets exposed contacting the terrorists, Suletta slapping a guy to bits with Aerial infront of Miorine, and every student gets horrified by the harsh reality of war. YEP THIS IS A GUNDAM SHOW AFTER ALL!

Now let's see how Suletta, Miorine and everyone face the cruel reality of war. Let's hope they overcome it together.

The theme of parenthood in this episode is so complex and contrasting! The seemingly loving nature of Prospera-Suletta turns to be the only one that dragged the child into bloodshed with blood-stained right hand; the seemingly negligent relationship of Delling-Miorine turns out to the most twisted, convoluted parent-child relationship; while the most unilateral affection from Guel to Vim took a U-turn as Vim only rejoiced at finding Guel instead of grimacing over the loss of his life or power. I like how Nika is also at a crossroads following her scene... The most disturbing part should be how Suletta's eyes became dull and lifeless after she clasped the hand touched by Prospera, like being enchanted/brainwashed by the "lullaby" of "you gain one by running away, but gain two by moving forward". One intriguing detail is that Suletta was in the "dark" before "stepping into the light" after touching Prospera's hand. Not sure if this symbolizes the "bearing of the curse of the Gundam" or "baptized by bloodshed". After all, I do not recall seeing Prospera ever in a dark scene. I think the scene of Suletta preparing to face Sophie and then pushing Sophie out of Plant Quetta is kind of similar to Banagher's initial fight scene against Marida and her Kshatriya in Industrial 7. Like how Banagher was "protected" by Cardeas Vist, Suletta was also protected by Aerial; yet like how Marida was created to be a war machine, Suletta was also being "pushed into the battle".

They really ended this chapter with Suletta's last words... "Eh?"

What's more scary than Bright's slap? It's the Aerial Slap.

I have to say this is one of the best GUNDAM episodes out there. The transition from training / play ground to war is awesome. Yes it can be dark but this is just perfect. Hats off to the creators of this masterpiece.

And now we can send the happy school life story a goodbye kiss and give a warm welcome hug to the dark story we’re all familiarized. My man Bob really had it rough.

Oh god, the post credits scene... Returned full circle back to the prologue where Eri Samaya casually showed Elnora 'Mama, they're just like candles!' Let the PTSD begin!

구엘은 아빠를 죽였고 델링은 엄마 떡밥 투척하고 목숨걸고 미오리네를 지켰고 니카는 배신자인걸 들켰고 스레타는 엄마한테 세뇌당해서 사람을 토마토 주스로 만들어버림 이게 어떻게 한 화만에 일어난 일임?

They CRUSHED it with this episode. The credit scene SLAPPED so hard. Can't wait for season 2. I'm sure they're gonna KILL it. Such a BANGER! Edit: Mom I’m famous!!

Happy school days are over. Welcome to the cruel and unforgiving world of Gundam, Suletta...

The Bright slap turns boys into men of destiny. The Suletta slap turns men into a fine paste.

That escalated quickly, especially the end credit scene... Well if Suletta didn't squashed the terrorist, MioMio will die with her father. Yes, Aerial can block the terrorist with it's hand but remember Elnora portrayed to Suletta that if she didn't kill the terrorists in the hangar 78, Suletta will die. So in Suletta's innocent mind she had to kill the terrorist to save MioMio. Also during the Hangar 78 scene Elnora is smiling and happy that she saved Suletta, so Suletta just mimicked Elnora after saving MioMio

Suletta Mercury is basically just a pet dog who is easily loyal to someone and easy to follow suggestions or going along with whatever plans coming to her.

This is a PEAK of Gundam anime. Story, character design, mecha design, animation and musics they are all 10/10 🤯

NOW THIS IS THE GUNDAM WE ARE ALL WAITING FOR! WORTH IT!

It’s sad how Suletta can kill a person with a smile thanks to her mother brainwashing… Prospera/Elnora really changed her daughter from a kind girl to a person that feels fine to kill with just chatting. But damn, the plot is starting to get more interesting

I wonder if prospera has actually trained suletta as a killing machine for her own agenda since the beginning. She then placed a hypnotic lock to seal that part of her to better integrate her into the academy and this episode, she undid the lock allowing her to kill again. Hypnotic locks usually use a verbal phrase or certain gestures by the hypnotist to undo, and guess what? Maybe sulletta's catchphrase is the very thing that does it. Prospera seems to be putting lots of emphasis to it.

One more thing, will Miorine be able to handle the fact she saw Suletta kill someone in front of her and still managed to smile? Will their relationship never be the same?

Petition for getting Guel a happy ending. I honestly want him to get a W more than anyone in the show.

Heero and Mikazuki : *Killed people but they don't smiles while doing it* Suletta Mercury : *Killed people and smiles while doing it* Yup, it's official she's way more messed up than Heero or Mikazuki.

Just how powerful is Prospera's gaslighting skills to be able to turn Suletta into being like that???

Prospera is definitely a villain if not the series main villain. I knew I shouldn't have trusted a masked person. She definitely sees Suletta (and Aerial) as a puppet/weapon for her own revenge plot. Bob was hit the hardest this season. My dude didn't get a break since that duel with Suletta. Hope he can overcome his anguish & come out stronger next time we see him.

the last scene reminded me of Eri using her gundam like a toy when she was 4 yrs old in the prologue. just incredible. the foreshadowing is strong in this one.

Holy shit, Prospera, you Sly Mother. Your brainwashing was so good that Gendo Ikari can only wish he could be just as good as you 👀

유구한 전통의 건담 시리즈에 오신걸 환영합니다

Everyone talking about how Suletta got bloody this episode (not say how exactly as to not spoil it) but I'M here to point something ELSE out instead: The design changes to the Aerial. Let me explain: Let's put OG Aerial next to rebuild OK? What is the first thing you noticed? I'll tell you what I noticed. how much more geometric and angular rebuild is compared to OG Aerial...kinda like how human facial features sharpen as we get older....I think you can get what I'm saying. The rebuild's design is a subtle way as to say "Things are gonna get a lot darker" if the whole assassination thing wasn't obvious enough.

As what Riddhe said to Banagher. Fathers never say enough to their children, Miorine. The kids always have to fill in the blanks on their own.

Thank you Subtitle-san for crunching just to release this for us!!!!

One of the most chaotic episode in so many gundam series. Really shows they are in civil war instead of some shounen high school drama

학원물로 시작해도 이번화를 보고 느꼈다.. 역시 건담은 건담이다.

Is it me OR IS IT EVVVEERRYYY ACTION SCENE IN THIS GUNDAM SERIES IS SOO GOOODD

Man I can feel the irony Miorine, etc parents are Cold and uncaring upfront but deep down they love their child while Suletta mom is kind and caring upfront but deep down just see her as a tool for revenge and will manipulate her till she gets it and won't be surprised if she doesn't care about her due to the truth of her origins

Damn. Suletta knows how to make tomato paste.

Aerial went from Wing buster rifle to splat the enemy like a fly

If you run, you gain one, but if you move forward and gain two has got to be the best quote in all of anime history

아유 분위기 반전될 건 예상했지만 생각보다 더 굉장해졌네 이래야 건담이지

"I don't want to fight, but if I want to protect the people around me, I have no choice!" Probably something you've heard said in many of the series in this franchise, but most of the time the ethics of killing another never gets brought into the focus again We're shown that the Earthian terrorists have blown up things, and kill a bunch of people, Gundam sometimes gets into the problem of "bad guys die = good", and as the spectacles get flashier enemy mobile suits become nothing more than glorified fireworks (Kira is especially guilty of this) Before the original gundam became a "hero of the week fighting a new bad guy of the week", Tomino had always wanted to express the brutality of war, behind every explosion, a pilot dies, and usually our protagonists have to come to gripes with just what they're doing, despite the fact that (most) of the time, they have to kill as an act of self defence It's really refreshing to see this not be glorified, as with most shows do, Suletta (and many more characters you can think of in fiction) kill, believing that they're "saving" someone, a very idealistic and romanticised way of viewing war, not realising what they are actually doing (Suletta just committed second-degree murder if you're curious) The scariest part of this scene isn't necessarily the death itself, it's from just how indifferent Suletta is to the fact that she just brutally murdered another human being, and worst still, that with that mantra of hers, she believes that what she did was the right thing.

Congratulations to Guel who has won the Amuro prize award of having the "Lalah moment" of this AU I'm now convinced that Guel is the essence of Amuro in this AU -Is kind of a jerk in the beginning -Really good at piloting -Gets ~~bright~~ dad slapped -deserts from group -LALAAAAHHHHHHHHHH Char: SHE WAS LIKE A MOTHER TO ME!!! Guel: THAT *_WAS_* MY DAD. also the entire sequence of Guel genuinely panicking for his dear life is a very refreshing take on the usual gung-ho attitude of past protags in battle, it's not a "I can't die here, not now" in the cool one-liner sense, it's genuinely one out of pure fear for their own life as they become aware that it could end in moments

not gonna lie, this episode is so insane , the BGM when new aerial show up and when shoot is really make my goosebumbs going wild

Hoo boy, we're back to the Prologue levels of mobile suit-on-mobile suit action and brutality. Guel really is a genius pilot, got into a previous generation grunt suit and won against a more advanced MS.

Holy shit Guel is being shafted hard

그리고 맨 마지막에 무중력에서 피의 끈적끈적함이 몇배나 리얼하게 느껴져서 너무 무섭다

From that day onwards, Mika would always check underneath the bed to see if Suletta was not there.

내 딸아, 물러서면 아무도 죽이지 못하지만 전진하면 두명을 죽일 수 있단다?

Mikazuki, Yui Heero, Kamille, Sven Cal Bayang & Io Flemming approved this episode. This is Gundam series for real

난 건담 손으로 벽 만들어서 막아주는줄 알았지...설마했던 즉석 케챱을 만들 줄이야.

Suletta could be even worse than Mika in terms of psychological integrity. At least Mika would still ask how many more he has to kill in order to reach their goal. Suletta, on the other hand, just completely shuts down. She's kind of like what Banagher warned against. I'm not complaining.

man this episode is heavy, Delling risked his life to protect his daughter, Guel accidentally killed his dad, Nika's betrayal is exposed, and the most disturbing of all Suletta has no remorse in killing people to protect her loved ones, she has become a YANDERE!

지금까지 이런 연출의 건담은 없었다. 이것은 15세 이용가인가 19세 이용가인가

Norea's head shaking was cutest thing in this ep....

그동안 힘을 숨긴건가 12화의 연출은 미쳤다

This episode shows us some different types of parents No matter how hard they are, no matter how crazy they are, no matter how unreasonable they are, but still their love to their children is true

Thank you for posting the series for free! I'm a Gundam fan so naturally I was going to watch this series anyways but DAMN; didn't expect it to be so good.

슬레타가 생일 축가 불러주면 적들 다 해치울 수 있는거 아니냐 ㅋㅋㅋ

슬레타 저러면 정말 프리시즌에 나왔던 여자 아이의 클론이 맞나...어딘가 감정이라는 부품의 나사가 하나 빠져있는듯한 느낌이 강한. 어색하다고 해야하나, 좀전만 해도 엄마가 사람 죽이는 거에 벌벌 떨더니 에어리얼로 사람을 토마토 소스 만들어놓고 저리 뿌듯한듯이 웃네. 엄마도 복수귀가 되고 다른 건담 파일럿들도 어디 하자가 생긴거 보면 건담인공지능과의 싱크로 과정에서 사람에게 하자가 생기는 설정인가 싶기도 하고...

진짜 이번화 유니콘 오마주 장면도 멋졌고 분명 어린이 위주로 공략하려고 만든 건담이지만 잔인하고 절망적인 느낌 위주로 스토리가 흘러가서 더 재밌게 보고 있네

That tanuki hyper beam got me shocked!! But the most shocking part here is the ending scene for this final ep of season 1, she literally got blood on her hands now :< Poor tanuki...

청소년 층 겨냥한다면서 진짜 말그대로 겨냥할 줄은 몰랐다..

"You have mixed feelings about the high school drama, right? You want Gundam style war horror, right? We'll f*cking give you one!"

19:20 Gundam Aerial literally turned into Wing Gundam Zero with that huge rifle 😲😲😲 (Or Gundam Virtue, or 00 Gundam Qan[T])

After killing people Other main in gundam series: *scream Suletta: *smile This is truly a gundam war

RU-vid shows the timeline with the most replays, LMAO

YASSSSS THE LONG WAIT IS FINALLY OVER; AND ITS ALL WORTH IT. Damn. What an episode.

Sunrise: "You're tired of all this school s***, you say? You want it to be 'real Gundam,' you say? There you go; happy now?" Gotta say, that was some cool bait-and-switch Sunrise did.

23:10 is the best of this Gundam series

episode full of unexpected outcomes also sadness that Guel Lost his father. And intro Aerial and Suletta on Gundam cargo was blast. episode worth of waiting

건담스러운 스토리가 되었네요. 인큐베이터같은 학교 안에 각 진형 젊은 유망주들 모아놓고 나중에 각 진형별 생각이 달라서 안 싸울 수 없을텐데 싶었는데 역시..초반이 너무 평화롭다 했어요

Mama, just killed a man. - Freddie Mercury

Nice episode! The irony between Delling revealing his humanity and Prospera her INhumanity makes for a great symmetry. Also love how this mirrors episode zero's attack on Vanadis Institute, only this time with Delling on the receiving end. It was also the first time Lfrith got revealed, only in this episode we got Wing Zero instead! Also goddamn Guel has suffered too much. He's definitely the MC if it was any other anime. The writers are setting up for his redemption arc big time. There's no way they're making him suffer for nothing.

Hope y'all enjoyed the yuri fluff arc as much as I did. Here comes the classic Gundam war story. 🥲

Miorine: That terrorist was a human! Suletta: Suletta forgetta!

I really love Miorine Rembran and Suletta Mercury!
