Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury Episode 16 was pretty toned down, and there was no major action and fight scenes in the Episode. The Episode mainly focused on moving the characters back into their regular life and setting the audience, as well as the characters, up for an upcoming major arc.
The Episode featured Lady Prospera, who has been shown to be a puppet master, a mastermind manipulator capable of messing with anyone she pleases. The audience was completely enthralled by Lady Prospera’s antics, and we couldn’t be more excited for the next Episode.

In this story, we will be talking about the upcoming Episode 17 of the anime, recap what happened in the previous Episode and give our readers a detailed streaming guide so you never miss an episode!
Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury is set in a distant future where humanity is no longer limited to the Earth, and civilization has spread into space. This new race has discarded the old calendar and adopted a new calendar system known as Ad Stella or AS. There are different civilizations living in the Solar System, the Spacians who inhabited the space colonies and the Earthians who were originally from the Earth.
The advanced machine is known as GUND was invented for humans to be able to survive in outer space, which started being used by the military, creating what we know as Gundams. The pilots mainly consisted of young women who came to be known as Witches. The Gundam franchise is popular for children operating battle suits, and that’s what we got to see in this anime, with young girls battling bravely in their Gundams.
Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury: Episode 16 Recap
In Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury Episode 16, titled Cycle of Sin, Prospera informs Belemeria about her discovery that Ericht’s biometrics seemed to have synced perfectly with the data storm. Prospera had preserved Ericht’s consciousness as Permet’s particle after her body was unable to take the stress. Belemeria refused to participate in Prospera’s plan to revive Ericht, saying it went against the Vanadis’ Principles.
Plans for replacing Delling with a new president arose, and Shaddiq revealed his plans for standing up in the elections as a candidate, refusing to team up with Miorine. On the other hand, the school seems to be in a state of panic after facing the attack and Front Security patrolling the premises. Secilia reveals her intentions to remain at the school, at least until Miorine’s birthday. Still, things aren’t perfect, and Earth House continues facing harassment.
The other students blame the Earth House for the attack, and Martin gets injured when he sees students vandalizing their dorm’s gate. The scene cuts to Grassley’s room, where Sabina is treating Nika’s injury, and Nika ends up figuring out that Sabina is an Earthian as well. Sabina becomes a little sentimental and tells Nika that even if her principles can’t fix things, she strives to bring Earth and Space together in solidarity.
On the other hand, Mirione is disturbed by Suletta’s lightheartedness regarding a traumatic event, and she runs to confront Prospera. Mirione asks Prospera to keep Suletta out of her plans, and Prospera ends up telling her about the vengeance she had been plotting for years.
