I will accept you once more.. because you're my bride; Witch from Mercury episode 22
It seems like we are getting closer to the end with two more episode. I am kind of worried that the witch of mercury will has a very rushed ending. At one point, I enjoy the amount of drama and action that balances this series .. Yet, with two more episodes remaining after this one, I can't guarantee how rushed they will be. First of all, apart from Prospera and Eric, we still haven't know what is the original Elan's motive in this anime. Unlike his clones, his airing time is very limited, which makes me wonder if he is really stirring up trouble or just happen to be inside the cast. Can they really work with the original Elan with only less than 60 minutes remaining? How about the ending? It will be a very cramped two last episodes and I am not sure if they can make a full, satisfying ending (unless they plan to release additional movies later)

The episode starts with Guel trying to make Miorine's out from her office as she is locking herself and doesn't want to meet anyone. Guel tries to talk her out but the little lady boss' depression make her won't budge from her sanctuary. Just to point out how this episode start to cramp out, Guel instantly challenges Suletta when the later wants to meet and chat with Miorine. They get into a fencing get up and starting the last duel which pretty much is the throw back of the original fencing scene between Amuro and Char Aznable of the Mobile suit gundam way back then. It's plenty much a less than ten minutes duel and what does Guel do when Suletta defeat him. He instantly gives away the holder uniform back (officially make her into Miorine's bride once more). Only a few scene later, Suletta and Miorine talk heart to heart through the room's intercom. Miorine admits that separating Suletta from Prospera is her foolish idea as she tried to solve everything on her own. Suletta ;being who she is, says that even her makes some mistakes but she can only accept everything that happen..and moves on. For some of us, Suletta is the idealist heroine that we don't deserve but get anyway. She is kind, helpful, she cries when she feels sad but more importantly, she easily forgive and moves on. Miorine feels that suletta's still forgives her after everything that she had done.. Deciding to leave her safe zone by herself.. The camera zoom on Miorine legs as if showing not only her determination but also how important this scene is for her development. She comes out of the room finding out that Suletta is once more her groom.. And the only groom she wishes for.
The pacing needs to be faster as they prepare to head for the Quiet Zero, Some characters like Felsi Rolo and the Halo boy, Rouji decide to join the earth group despite it might put them on danger. The next step they need to do is making sure that Suletta can get the permit score of 5 with the new Gundam Calibarn. miorine has regains her composure as she now stands once more as the president of the Benefit group.. Gone her depression as well as her hikikomori gets up back into a more confident version of her. Before heading to the space, she even offer a negotiation with Shaddiq to help her fighting prospera. Another thing to note is that her father finally regains his consciousness albeit he is still to weak to talk. Miorine assures him that this time she will accept everything.. Even the gundam curse. Miorine and Suletta then has a private talk between them..about miorine's mother hidden message inside the tomato and how Mio plans to ask Suletta going with her to earth.. Suletta cant make any promise as she knows.. Her time maybe limited. For me.. I can see that Suletta can't give a promise with the fact that Calibarn had no protection against the data storm.. Everything looks like she is truly on the path of martyrdom..Well, for me, I hope this ending with Suletta dying is not the canon one as I think it will be a very obvious plot line.
Ok so they are making a move and Suletta is inside the new (but actually very old) Gundam for her. It's heavily hinted that she has better resistance to the data storm due to her "Eric" DNA. However, this Calibarn is not a good mobile suit for anyone trying to tame it.. As they raise the permit score, we can see how painful the new Gundam's permet score to her as she screams in pain. Miorine doesn't say anything and can only takes one hundred percent trust to her.. As she knows that *fixing everything by herself* doesn't work and she need Suletta's help more than ever now. She made it.. Suletta reaches the permet score five and the unit now can head into the quiet zero without worried about being overridden by the data storm. After the successful attempt, Miorine once more sheeds her tears... Yet, this one is not a depression one as she feels so relieved that Suletta survived this dead or alive gamble.

Finally, Suletta with the Calibarn heads to the battlefield.. I'm actually feels that the mobile suit coloring is a bit bland than what I expected for being Suletta ultimate machine. It's technically white in coloring with a red permet around it chest and some part of the body. The only thing stand out from Calibarn is actually it's weapon which is a long riffle with a broom like booster at the other part. It's capable to give movement boost as well as shooting a high density canon.. And more importantly, this really shows our witch has piloting skills to boot. Even with Gundvolvas appearing to stop her, suletta manages to destroy the opposition; proving that her ace status is real and even without Eri's help, she can still be considered as a proficient pilot. In addition, I really like the fact that even after showing images of Gundam Scwarzette for the last 3-4 episodes, they give us a twist by making it not as Suletta's new Gundam.. But a completely different unit.. Which is Calibarn.
Well the bad news is that Lauda is currently ride the Scwarzette and his main purpose is to kill Miorine. He tries to attack the spaceship in which Miorine, Elan5, and the earth house people currently boarding. Guel who is currently only has his old Dilanza had to stand against him to protect his friends' life. Meanwhile, Suletta notices that Aerial is already on the move and it wants to stop Suletta from interfering with her mother's masterplan. Two brothers, Two sisters, both will fight each other for the next episode. I know for sure that it will be a very cramped two episodes.. And there is still no info about whether there will be the season 3 or a movie final.. I'm just hoping that we don't get a rushed ending (despite the fact that it's inevitable).. Alas, my excitement for watching the next episode is soaring high at this moment... We will see the climax of the battle in the next episode. Therefore, prepares for every emotional damage that we may encounter in the last two episodes of the Witch From Mercury
