Gundam fans have been eagerly anticipating the second season of The Witch From Mercury, and their wait is almost over.

Divided kingdom: Suletta and Miorine’s uneasy truce tested

The second season picks up two weeks after the shocking events of the first season, with the kingdom still divided between Suletta and Miorine. Both characters are reeling from the witch’s gruesome act, and the chasm between them seems unbridgeable. Consequently, the season will begin with them separated, Suletta resuming her school life, and Miorine nursing her ailing father at the Benerit Group Headquarters. But their uneasy truce will be put to the test when a new and menacing threat looms on the horizon. (Also Read: Demon Slayer Season 3 & more: Must-watch anime of the second week of April 2023)

Venturing beyond the school: New threats and enigmatic villain

While the first season focused primarily on the characters’ school life and their Gundam battles within the duelling system, season two will venture beyond the school’s boundaries, possibly to Earth or other planets. The upcoming season promises to introduce new threats to the main characters, including rival students from the Asticassia School of Technology, power-hungry factions within the Benerit Group, and the Earthian’s Dawn of Fold. It’s unclear if these threats will emerge from within the factions or from an entirely new and enigmatic villain.
