Love hurts; Witch From Mercury episode 17 impression

Hello folks we are back again with another review for The Witch from Mercury episode 17. I messed up a bit after seeing the information of the Golden Week on Japan which will takes place ACTUALLY next week..so We got the episode 17 for this week and episode recap next week; making us get the episode 17 on May 7 (Yay) and episode 18 will be on the next 2 weeks T - T . Well it's still nice that we get this week episode so let's check what is in store for us. The episode continues with the confrontation between Miorine and Lady Prospera. Prospera forces a deal with Miorine that if she wants Suletta, she must join the next presidential electoral and secure the Quiet Zero project for her. In addition, she asks her to let Aerial participates in one more duel dubbing it as the last duel for Suletta. Miorine hates how she can't do anything to wake Suletta and have to follow Prospera's proposal for the time being. In the next morning, when she wakes up, Suletta has been waiting in front of her room. As if nothing just happens before, she accompanies Miorine to the class..During their walk, Miorine asks her if she would like to give up on Aerial for her but Suletta declines as she considers Aerial more like her family and they can't be separated. Once again, Miorine can't talk her out of it. Suletta is like an empty shell with a built in reply. She doesn't even questioning why Miorine asks her something about ditching Erial. 

ah little Mio-tan comes to mama in law web string 

While tending on the tomatoes garden, Suletta feels a presence of someone getting closer. Elan number five comes in and she instantly tries to hold him from entering the inner part of the greenhouse. Suddenly, this Elan tries to force his way and tries to attack Suletta and corners her to the wall. He has an angry face with him saying that the person she is looking for is no more (he refers to Elan number 4) while taking a stun gun. Elan number 5 has a time limit to obtain the Aerial and time is running out; if charming Suletta is not working, he plans to do it the hard way. Fortunately a hero comes to the rescue and he is Guel Jeturk.. The most awesome thing is..in this very place where Suletta slaps Guel's back (read 4ss) for harassing Miorine, Guel stands there; protecting her from Elan. It signifies how depth his character development is. From a jerk turns into a superman; ready to save an innocent. Elan number five tries to attack using his stun gun but this is not the same bratty person we saw 4-5 months ago. He had experience hardship and dead or alive situation that makes a little taser seems like a minor threat. Disarming a punny little femboy is not hard for a bigger guy like Guel so yup..he pins him to the floor easily; prompting Elan to run between his tail when he gets the chance.

She is head over shoulder loving Miorine xD She wants the marriage A.S.A.P

Suletta thanks him for saving her life; while nearby an arriving Miorine just overheard their conversation (yet she decides to remain hidden and listen to them). Guel accidentally spills that he really takes a liking to Suletta and after a bit of tense atmosphere between them, he regains his composure and tells her how she becomes important to his life. Suletta politely decines his confession; saying that right now she already has someone that she loves. Guel; who has maturing over the course of this anime, smiling and takes the lose like a champ. Miorine grits her teeth...she knows Suletta loves her but right now she is in her mother chain..This situation however gives her the right timing to start the last duel that Prospera's want. She comes out from her hiding and tells Suletta to gift her a last duel before her birthday; a duel between her and Guel Jeturk. Unknown to her however, Miorine talks privately to Guel about her reason for asking Suletta to duel him. She knows that Guel needs to revitalize the Jeturk and she needs to take away Aerial from Suletta. Therefore, she asks Guel to become the holder once again and reclaim her as his bride. With him winning the battle against Gundam, not only that Jeturk's stock will skyrocketing; saving its from the abbys, the presence of Miorine as his fiancee will definitely put his company in a stronger position in Benerit group too.

Someone meme him already xD change his costume into Superman costume xD Please

The scene moves to the duelling comittee chamber with Guel and Suletta prepares to take the duelling oath. Suletta is surprised that Guel asks for Aerial's possession if he manages to win the duel. She is wavering to continue until Miorine gives her a little push to take on the pact. When Guel and Miorine takes the lift, Guel asks for Miorine if what she said about Suletta being the slave of her mother is true and Miorine ensures him about the condition. Right now Miorine wants nothing more than separating Suletta away from the Gundam, her mother, and all possible future conflict from her. Guel bitterly remarks that a world in where there are no conflicts is impossible as he experiences first hand how children can still die as war victims despite of their unwillingness to join the conflict. Miorine's reply (that she wants Suletta to be happy) confirms that she loves Suletta as much as she does. However, there is a heavy price that she will pay to get her away from Prospera's chain..to bury those affection so that Suletta will has no more reason to pilot the Aerial.

MY GOD Suletta !! that Gun is a bit too big for that little antena

The mobile suit fighting part is amazing.. While the company can only provides Guel with his old, reddish Darilbalde, he can still give a fight..Aerial upgrade is still superior in term of armaments though and it's barage of gun bits fire manages to destroy both arms of Darilbalde. Guel also has a big motivation to win this match as the future of Jeturk (and also the safety of Suletta) depends entirely on this duel. However, Guel's PTSD kicking in on some part of the battle; which makes him unable to properly making a decision during some crucial times. At one time when Suletta's Aerial is closing in to Darilbalde, the shout of his team snaps him out of his PTSD and makes him capable to hold Suletta's beam saber using his own Darilbalde's bits..He is even capable to deliver a hook kick and sever one arm of Aerial when counter attacking..Needless to say, taking out Suletta who is in a very high spirit to win the match is not possible until Miorine tap on a button of her phone. She puts an apps in Aerial that render it's down for a moment. That's app is made by none other than Belmeria Winston; who reluctantly agree to help, and approves by Prospera herself. Suletta; who gets shocked when Aerial suddenly turn off, cant do anything when Darilbalde jumps and cut it's antenna; making Guel as the winner the match.

Dang it.. the amount of emotion is overwhelming..the V.A. also makes a very good job on here

This episode is truly a battle of emotion..before Miorine taps on the button, Suletta shouts that she wants to win this one and do the marriage with Miorine. She even mentioning about wearing beautiful dresses and buying the wedding ring together; enough to make Miorine wavers for a second. She is already planning a future with her bride and the harshest thing she ever get is witnessing Miorine telling her that she sabotages the Aerial intentionally to make her losing the match. Suletta who desperately trying to regain her holder position begs Guel to duel her once again; saying that she will never lost the next one. With a tough face, Miorine tells her that she has lost her obligation; taking the holder uniform away from her. As if adding salt to her wound, she throws the "Mr Cool" keychain back at Suletta; symbolises that their relation is over at that moment. To make it even worse, Miorine tells her that she have been using her all along and call her as the Mercurian Country Bumpkin (something that Miorine never say to her before). Suletta cries in shock seeing this event rolling before her eyes..while Miorine cries deeply in her heart. Dang this episode really rocks and I don't know how much change Suletta will undergoes after this. We still has to wait another two weeks to see what will happen to Suletta though "sigh".
