Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury recap
In Ad Stella 122, corporations rule space through the Benerit Group, and the forbidden GUND-ARM technology is banned after a massacre. Suletta Mercury, a shy girl from Mercury, enrols at the Asticassia School of Technology, where students fight duels in mobile suits. On her first day she wins a duel and becomes engaged to Miorine Rembran, daughter of Benerit's president, who is the prize for the school's champion. Suletta pilots the Aerial, which turns out to be a Gundam. Her mother Prospera has her own plan. Season 1 ends when terrorists attack, Suletta kills a man in front of Miorine, and Miorine sees how Prospera has shaped her. In season 2, Suletta learns she is a clone of Prospera's dead daughter Eri, whose mind lives in the Aerial, and Prospera plans to use the Quiet Zero system.
