What Is Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury Season 2 About?
The second season continues where Season 1 left off. This time, there are more action scenes that fans probably did not expect!
The anime's first season introduced the Dawn of Fold, an anti-Spacian organization that's based on Earth.
We learn that aside from Suletta Mercury, the titular Witch from Mercury, the Dawn of Fold also has its own witches from Earth, namely Sophie Pulone and Norea Du Noc.
In the first season's finale, Sophie and Suletta finally engage each other in a fight, although it ends briefly.
During the aftermath of the attack, Suletta makes her way to Miorine and saves her just in time before an assassin nearly kills her.
However, the incident proves to be so dark and traumatic for Miorine as she sees an entirely new side to Suletta.
We anticipate seeing how this event changes the relationship between the two main characters and affects the story moving forward.
