Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury - Episode 6: A Gloomy Song
Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury - Episode Six: A Gloomy Song (鬱陶しい歌, Utoshii Uta) is the sixth episode of Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury.
SynopsisConfronting Prospera, Belmeria tries to interrogate her about the truth behind Aerial and her plans for revenge, only for Prospera to remark on Peil's Enhanced Person project, shutting her up. Reporting on having smoked out the other "Witch", Prospera confidently declares her trust in Suletta and Aerial to win their upcoming duel against Elan and the Pharact.
That night, the girls of Earth House discuss Elan's abrupt change in behavior, while Miorine chides Suletta for accepting the duel without consulting her, stating she won't forgive her if she loses. Following Elan's victory over him, Guel is cut off from Jeturk House's resources, and kicked from the dormitory; he is later seen watching Suletta and Elan's duel while camping out in the woods. Shaddiq oversees the preparations for the duel between Elan and Suletta, with Elan intending to claim Aerial if he wins. Suletta, however, cannot think of a stake in the coming fight. Shaddiq tells her it's fine, so long as she decides by the day of the duel. As the meeting adjourns, Shaddiq expresses his own interest in Suletta after having seen Guel and Elan so radically change since her arrival.
Returning to Earth House, Suletta informs her dorm mates the duel is to take place in space outside the Front, which they note could be difficult with Aerial lacking a thruster unit, especially as Martin fearfully recognizes Peil's reputation for high mobility. With little money to their name and doubting any other Houses would let them borrow one, Nika suggests they build their own. Despite what parts they are able to buy being in decrepit condition, Chuchu expresses her absolute confidence in Nika's ability to make it work, while Martin laments that the deficit from the purchase may mean they won't be able to eat the following month. Ojelo and Nuno tell Suletta they've bet what they have left on the duel, and if she wins, it'll cover the costs of the thrusters. If she loses though, they'll go bankrupt.
Waking from a vague dream of a candle flame during his physical, Belmeria notes Elan he was moaning in his sleep, though he brushes it off as insignificant to the tests. Informing him that he should have no issues in the coming battle, Elan infers this means he won't survive a subsequent one. The real Elan Ceres then enters the room, smugly taunting his surrogate about his gloomy attitude, and the possibility of being given his own life again should he win the duel. #4, however, seems indifferent to the possibility, causing Elan to question why he accepted the role of his body double, knowing he would have to deal with the "cursed" Gundam. #4 only comments that he was already cursed long before that.
Outside Asticassia, Suletta and Aerial test their newly constructed thruster pack with Nika, who questions Suletta's resolve to fight Elan. Recognizing Elan was likely only nice to her as part of a plan, Suletta admits to feeling dumb, which Miorine reaffirms, calling Suletta annoying much as Elan had. But where Elan was cold, Miorine lights a fire in Suletta, encouraging her with her own mantra of moving forward. Nika teases Miorine as having already forgiven Suletta, which she deflects. Emboldened by Miorine's speech, Suletta lands in Peil House's hangar to try and talk to Elan, only for his own housemates to admit they don't have much contact with him. Convincing them to let her use their intercom, Suletta eventually gets Elan's attention by singing "Happy Birthday", though his only response is to coldly dismiss her again.
The day of the duel arrives, and Elan and Suletta face off outside the school with Suletta determined to find out more about Elan, making that her stake if she wins. The duel begins with Nika's thruster pack performing flawlessly, Elan then immediately granting Suletta's request, angrily going on the offensive while ranting to her about everything she has that he doesn't. The Pharact's advanced speed and mobility leave Earth House distressed that Suletta is at a severe disadvantage, especially after he deploys his bits to try and stun Aerial. Managing to stun one of Suletta's own bits, he takes aim to destroy it, only for the others to defend their paralyzed "comrade", destroying Elan's bits to free it. Remarking that Suletta's control is superior to his, Elan tries to put more distance between them, while Suletta struggles to catch up.
Raising the Pharact's Permet Score to Four to no avail, Elan starts to suffer from a severe data storm, leaving him susceptible to Suletta and Aerial's attacks, though he manages to shoot off Aerial's backpack. The infuriated Enhanced Person, believing himself on the brink of death, unleashes all of his Gundam's bits in an effort to take Suletta down with him. Despite apparently being hit by the stun beams, Aerial suddenly unleashes a pulse that knocks out the Pharact's bits and immobilizes the suit, briefly incapacitating Elan. When he recovers, he experiences a vision of childish silhouettes laughing out in space, before they come into focus as Aerial's bits surrounding him. Unleashing a torrent of beam fire, they eviscerate the Pharact despite its attempts to dodge, one shot blowing through its blade antenna, winning the duel. With his Gundam incapacitated, Elan is left dazed, but begins to more clearly remember his birthday before Suletta rescues him from his disintegrating mobile suit, assuring him that she'd be happy to celebrate his birthday with him, just like the person in his memories.
After the fight, Suletta and Miorine await Elan, who is late for their arranged meeting. Miorine takes her leave, with Suletta singing Happy Birthday to herself as she continues to wait. Elsewhere, Elan sings the song to himself as well as he is strung up and executed by the Peil Technologies CEOs over Belmeria's objections.
Luna is both fascinated and skeptical of Artemis' claims, but she soon realizes that she can no longer deny the reality of her newfound abilities. As Luna begins to train under Artemis' guidance, she learns to control and enhance her powers. However, she also faces various challenges and obstacles along the way. In one scene, Luna struggles to levitate objects using her magical powers but repeatedly fails. This frustration forces Luna to confront her own doubts and insecurities, which she must overcome in order to fully embrace her identity as a witch. The episode ends on a cliffhanger, as Luna receives a message from Artemis informing her of an imminent danger. This piques Luna's curiosity and leaves viewers eagerly anticipating the next episode. Overall, episode six of "Witch from Mercury" is a crucial turning point in the story, as Luna embraces her magical abilities and begins her journey towards discovering her true potential as a witch..

I have been a fan of "Witch from Mercury" since the beginning, but episode 6 really missed the mark for me. The pacing was slow and the story felt like it was going in circles. I was expecting some major plot development, but instead, I was left with more questions than answers. The dialogue also felt forced and unnatural, making it difficult to connect with the characters. I hope that the next episode can redeem the series because this one was a disappointment.
