Could The Unusual Bonds in The Witch from Mercury Redefine Friendship in Mecha Anime

Never thought I’d see a Gundam series where a handshake could feel more intense than a mobile suit battle. The way Suletta and Miorine’s connection keeps evolving, especially after that wild council scene, feels like it’s breaking the usual mecha anime mold for friendships. Then you’ve got Chuchu’s hair raising snack incident in the background, which somehow made the tension even more real. If these bonds keep shifting like this, maybe we’ll see pilots relying on trust more than tech. What if the real revolution isn’t in the cockpits, but in how they support each other? Waiting for the next episode feels like waiting for a GUND ARM update. What do you all think?

Never thought I’d be more invested in Suletta and Miorine’s awkward silences than the actual Gundam fights. Their relationship feels so raw and unpredictable, it’s like the emotional stakes are higher than any battle. If this keeps up, I’m honestly here for the drama more than the mechs.

Suletta and Miorine’s dynamic feels way more layered than your typical pilot partner setup. It’s almost like the emotional stakes are as high as the battles. Chuchu’s snack scene was hilarious but also made everything feel more real—like these are actual people, not just pilots. I’m loving this new focus on trust.

Honestly, the way Suletta and Miorine interact feels way more raw than the usual “rival turned friend” trope. It’s like every awkward moment or small gesture actually matters. Chuchu’s snack scene was hilarious but also made the tension feel super real. If trust keeps being the focus, this might change how mecha anime does relationships.
