The blood of the crushed man stuck to Aerial's palm. Suletta, who descended from the cockpit, slipped on the blood. Then, extending her blood-stained hand, she cheerfully said, "I came to help you, Miorine," with a beaming smile.

The abnormality of her words and smile, the emotional disparity, and the ethical dissonance strongly indicated that something had happened to Suletta and that she had lost something. The once innocent girl had transformed in just one episode into a being with no hesitation in taking lives.

Just before Suletta rushed to Miorine in Aerial, there was a depiction of her being shocked by the fact that Prospera killed someone to save her. However, what was communicated in that scene was "If you run away, you gain one; if you advance, you gain two"—a lesson she had been told repeatedly since childhood about the rewards of advancing.

Suletta embraced this lesson, changing as if she had been brainwashed. Her ability to crush a person without hesitation in that scene likely stemmed from this deeply ingrained teaching. It also revealed the cold-hearted side of Prospera, who raised Suletta not as a mother concerned for her child's well-being but as a tool to be used for her own purposes.

The atmosphere of "Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury," which had been perceived as a "heartwarming school story" with "a significant yuri element," transformed in just a few cuts into a "Gundam filled with blood and madness." This shift in tone was a testament to the series' impactful direction.

The anime 'Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury,' produced by Sunrise, is a robot anime and the first in the "Gundam" series to feature a full-fledged female protagonist. It is an original work based on the concept by Hajime Yatate and Yoshiyuki Tomino. Season 1 aired from October 2022 to January 2023, with the subsequent Season 2 airing from April to July 2023.

Set against the backdrop of economic disparity between space and Earth and corporate power struggles, the series depicts a new Gundam worldview centered around a school setting. The story follows the journey of Suletta Mercury, a girl from Mercury, as she faces a harsh fate alongside her mobile suit, Gundam Aerial, through her encounters and growth at the prestigious Asticassia School of Technology.
