Chu-Chu's punch; The Witch From Mercury episode 4 Impression

Synopsis.

No way!! Suletta ran away from Guel. She flew right away using the Aerial; rejecting his marriage proposal due to the sudden shock and heavy embarrassment. Meanwhile the entire students who were watching the scene just could not hide their excitement of this sudden turn of event. In the other place, the Bennerit’s Board of directors had just contacting Vim jeturk via the tele conference. They told him that with Guel losing twice, they might be thinking of reducing the company’s funding. The scene moved back to the classroom. Miorine asked Suletta why she wore an ordinary student uniform. After taping her phone, Sulleta’s uniform change back to the same white uniform that she wore after winning her first round against Guel. Miorine said that the white uniform was the symbol as the reigning holder as well as Miorine’s groom. Guel came into the class and told Suletta that he had not even a slightest interest to her. However, he still took his time to apologize to Miorine for his past behavior especially after ruining her garden. Since Suletta staked for Guel apologizing to Miorine, his defeat mean he had to lower his head as the loser.

That's the fastest genre changer ever LMAO back to Yuri we are 

The scene moved to the area where students were tested as a mobile suit pilot. The first part showed one of the mobile suits trying to avoid land mines with a spotter gave navigation to the pilot regarding to the mines location. When it came to Suletta’s turn, she got immediate fail because she didn’t have a spotter and a mechanic in her team.  Having a navigator and a mechanic is a must to undertake the test and Suletta had no close friends in that place (expect that lazy eyes Miorine xD). Meanwhile Chitauri Panlaunch also known as Chuchu had just about to start the test. Just as her mobile suit passed one land mine, suddenly her monitor turned into a complete black which making her unable to see the surrounding area. After losing the balance, her mobile suit slipped and fell into one of the land mines which made her fail the exam too. After checking the mobile suit head, she knew that someone just spray a slow acting masking spray. It made her furious since someone deliberately sabotaged her test.

Aw you had became a TsunTsun too

Both Chu-chu and Suletta failed their test but they still got a makeup exam in the next three days. Suletta tried to find a spotter and a mechanic but all of the persons she asked to join refused her offer because they were afraid about making enemy with the house of Jeturk. Nika and her earthian friends met with Suletta while she was searching for team candidate. Suletta asked Nika if she could become her mechanic. However, Nika kindly refuse because she already became the Mechanic for Chuchu. In spite of that, Nika invited Suletta to come to the Earth house (the place where the Earthian met). She asked her friends if one of them could help Suletta supporting her make up exam. Just after a boy named Till gladly accepted to be Suletta’s spotter, an enraged Chu-chu came and tried to hurt Suletta physically using a wench for coming to the Earthian’s place.

Chu-Chu the G.O.A.T

After the small incident in the Earth house Suletta was feeling down because the time for remedial exam grew nearer. Elan Ceres came and told her should she wanted to join his house team and she gladly accepted until Miorine came and told her to stay away from Elan. Miorine considered Elan as an enemy because he belongs to the house that wanted to overthrow the membrane. Then, Miorine told Suletta that if she wanted a spotter and a mechanic, she could just ask her from the beginning. Miorine took Suletta to a room that used to be the chairman’s room in which includes a small garden inside. After reading the exam manuals, Miorine already figured out about her jobs and since she too didn’t have a crew, she decided to support as both a spotter and a mechanic for Suletta. During the night, Miorine who had just wake up found Suletta still studying her material. She asked Suletta why she worked too hard for her exam. Suletta said that she had a dream that one day she can open a school in Mercury so that there will be more people coming to that place. Miorine argued that she had too much burden in her shoulder already and she should just find her happiness instead.

Smart, Beautiful, know  how to pierce one heart too (that lazy eyes is a plus too)

The days of the makeup system started with Miorine acted as both Suletta’s mechanic and spotter. Before the exam, Chu-chu said to Suletta that if she had already got “the princess” as her partner, she should not have come to the Earth house (while saying that they were rotten Spacian). Miorine reprimanded Chu-chu that she had no right to call other rotten as that would turn her similar to the racial Spacian. Without their knowledge, the two Spacian girls who had quarreled with the Earthian back in the cafeteria had just sabotaged Sulettta’s mobile suit. They were spraying the head of Suletta’s mobile suit with the masking spray. As time went by, the spray started to take effect and it covered the head making the visibility in Suletta’s cockpit turned into a black screen. Even with the very disadvantages, Miorine kept cheering on Suletta and asked her to keep repeating even though she kept failing due to the zero visibility. Chu-chu, who happened to be nearby, noticed that Suletta also had the same situation with her before.

The stress accumulated through the failure made her broken

After numerous errors, Suletta broke down crying, she cried because she was frustrated failing the test again and again. She never wanted to stand out in the academy. For her, being the reigning holder suddenly pushed a heavy burden on her. For example, other students started to avoid her due they afraid that the Jeturk’s home would consider them as enemy. While listening to Suletta’s cry, Chu-chu noticed the two girls who she had a fight with her in the cafeteria before had been laughing out loud in the nearby area. Instantly she went to them and punched one of the girls in the face. The other girl and Chuchu then had a brawl and kept delivering blow to each other. Suletta and the boy from the Earth house tried to stop their quarrel only for the Spacian girl to indeliberately hit Suletta. Chu-chu then gave her the last shot and the panel closed. The next scene changed to Miorine and Suletta talked to the Earthian students. Nika gave a suggestion for the other earthian that they should take Suletta into the earth house. Chu-chu off course didn’t like her suggestion at first but after seeing what she had gone through, she let Suletta into the house with one requirement that she should be considered as the senior.

 

Review

I like this episode because it had a decent character story telling. In this episode Chuchu had a deeper focus than the other character which was quite surprising for me. She didn’t get enough focus on the previous episodes and here we got a character background and development for her. First she got other people from earths who cheer on her study. They were the same earthian who work or live with her before back in the earth. Second, while we saw at the beginning that she hold grudge against the spacian, she mellowed during this episode after seeing Suletta and Miorine; especially after the later kinda chew her up about her discrimination tendency toward the spacian. At the end she let Suletta to join the house (with a bit of tsundere remark off course xD)

The last thing the Spacian girl saw before passed out xD

I love how Suletta and Miorine started to develop their relation bit by bit. It was not the first time they work together yet this was the first time Mio let Suletta using her room. That's a major upgrade seeing the ever unsocial princess letting up other person to share a room with her. The relationship between them could be called as a good friend for now but I like how Miorine kept supporting Suletta like any good wife should be lol. The part where Suletta could not sleep and had the conversation about making school in Mercury also had a deep meaning. For one reason, their way of thinking was a polar opposite. For instance, Miorine was more selfish and care less about helping others that she didn’t know well. Meanwhile, Suletta wanted to create school in Mercury so that there would be more people who lived in Mercury. With more people coming to Mercury, business will prosper and there will be more opportunity for the people living there. In addition, just like Chuchu, Suletta also had people that she hold dear back in the Mercury. However, despite their differences, both of them had a right argument. Suletta wanted to make her home planet prosper. Meanwhile Miorine cared enough for Suletta to stop thinking about other and focused on her well-being first. They were basically cared for the other (with Miorine being a bit more tsundere lol)

She looks better with her hair down isn't she?

What is the best part of this episode? Off course the brawl Lmao. At least Chuchu could held her own and fight like a man (or a woman: P). the moment of fight while didn’t take too long was enough to show us Chuchu could take and dish some hit. It showed that the girls in this anime were more or less far from the princess stereotype. It manages to stay away from flat characterization too. Even Miorine’s usual eye glare made her more endearing now Lmao. Suletta while showing weakness managed to show a decent emotion and people could emphatize with her. Back then I might not care about the characters in this anime.. Their design was a bit generic in my personal taste.  Should they become standardized, ordinary characters, I might drop the show lol. However, now they started to show their charm and I became more interested to finish this series.  It was a good episode and I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I am.
