Overview: 

Having learned of the connection between Prospera and Delling, Miorine decides to take over the Quiet Zero project in exchange for Suletta’s liberation. Miorine’s 17th birthday is imminent. Now the curtain rises on the final duel that will determine her bridegroom.

Our Take:

Remember when I said it kind of felt like Guel was almost taking over as the main protagonist? It still kind of feels that way but I think we are about to pivot back to being very Suletta-focused. She doesn’t realize it but Miorine and Guel do really care about her and that is why they deceived her to allow Guel to win the duel. Miorine can tell that Prospera has no problems using Suletta which could get her killed. Thus, if she gets her out of the way then she is keeping her safe.

As we know, that usually doesn’t happen in stories like this. Suletta is so stubborn and will be very hurt by this turn of events that she will probably do everything in her power to prove herself to Miorine again. Which will probably undo everything Miorine and Guel did in this episode. It was hard to watch because it’s like when someone is throwing rocks at a dog to make it run. Most Gundam series usually run for forty to fifty episodes but I think this one is only going to be in the twenties so things are going to start happening fast. If it’s portrayed as well as this episode handled its situation then I am here for it.
