[00:02] ---
    Why, yes. We acknowledge it.
[00:04] ---
    The Pharact is indeed a Gundam.
[00:07] ---
    It's despicable of you
    to breach the Agreement so casually.
[00:11] ---
    I believe you know a thing
    or two about that yourself.
[00:14] ---
    Now then, what are you proposing?
[00:18] ---
    We'd like Peil Technologies
    to cooperate with our plan.
[00:23] ---
    This is an opportunity we'll never see again.
[00:27] ---
    To learn what he...
[00:29] ---
    what Delling has up his sleeve.
[02:09] ---
    Don't let your mind wander!
[02:10] ---
    You'll hurt the tomatoes.
[02:13] ---
    I-I'm sorry.
[02:15] ---
    Honestly...
[02:16] ---
    Are you really that worried about Elan?
[02:20] ---
    He hasn't been to school since then, either.
[02:23] ---
    Is he really okay?
[02:25] ---
    Butting into other people's problems
    and worrying without being asked...
[02:29] ---
    Are you enjoying this or something?
[02:31] ---
    Haven't you ever been troubled, Ms. Miorine...
[02:34] ---
    about somebody else's--
[02:36] ---
    Never.
[02:36] ---
    I only ever think about one thing.
[02:39] ---
    Getting out of this place and going to Earth.
[02:43] ---
    If your mind is always elsewhere,
    you'll fail the exam again.
[02:47] ---
    I guess that's true, but...
[02:54] ---
    An invitation?
[02:55] ---
    An incubation party, huh?
[02:57] ---
    There's no need to go.
[02:59] ---
    Are you sure?
[03:01] ---
    It's like a social party
    for people among the group companies.
[03:06] ---
    As far as students, only those
    from the three branches will be going.
[03:09] ---
    As the Holder, if you go there, they'll
    force you to make a speech on stage and--
[03:16] ---
    Then he'll come too, right?
[03:16] ---
    What?
[03:16] ---
    If the three branches are going,
    then Mr. Elan will come too, right?
[03:25] ---
    Look at this...
[03:27] ---
    Are you sure it's okay for us to be here?
[03:30] ---
    I can't help but feel nervous.
[03:32] ---
    What?
[03:34] ---
    There's no need for that.
[03:35] ---
    Everything here is just for show.
[03:38] ---
    Plus, you two...
[03:39] ---
    are guests of the reigning Holder.
[03:42] ---
    S-Sorry to keep you waiting!
[03:45] ---
    Are you okay?
[03:46] ---
    It's pretty tight in the bust...
[03:48] ---
    It's my dress. Of course it's tight.
[03:51] ---
    Now stand up straight!
[03:55] ---
    I could've loaned you a dress too, Nika.
[03:57] ---
    Are you okay in that uniform?
[03:58] ---
    We came along out of curiosity, but...
[04:02] ---
    we didn't really know what to expect.
[04:05] ---
    An incubation party...
[04:08] ---
    In other words, an event
    to promote new business startups.
[04:12] ---
    People who want to start
    a new project within the group
[04:15] ---
    announce their plans here
    and solicit investment.
[04:18] ---
    If they reach their target amount,
    then a glorious new business is born.
[04:23] ---
    Wow....
[04:24] ---
    But I doubt anyone will get enough money.
[04:26] ---
    Huh?
[04:27] ---
    The concepts are all too old-fashioned.
[04:29] ---
    No one will buy into their presentations.
[04:33] ---
    You're right. No wonder you're the top
    student in management strategy.
[04:38] ---
    Is that sarcasm? Let's go.
[04:42] ---
    We're going to go search for Elan.
[04:45] ---
    I think I want to have a look at the booths.
[04:48] ---
    Fine. See you later, then.
[04:50] ---
    See you.
[04:53] ---
    Why do I have to clean up
    after that Enhanced Person?
[04:57] ---
    The next test subject isn't ready yet.
[05:01] ---
    We believe it's best
    to leave this to the real you.
[05:05] ---
    Damn him for leaving
    a mess like this behind.
[05:08] ---
    That girl is...
[05:10] ---
    The latest groom candidate.
[05:11] ---
    Then she's...
[05:13] ---
    The witch they're talking about.
[05:14] ---
    Oh, scary.
[05:15] ---
    Everyone's staring at us.
[05:18] ---
    Never mind them. Just behave confidently.
[05:21] ---
    B-But...
[05:22] ---
    Stand up straight!
[05:23] ---
    R-Right!
[05:24] ---
    Fancy meeting you two here.
[05:27] ---
    Does this mean you're
    interested in new business ventures?
[05:30] ---
    Shaddiq?
[05:32] ---
    If possible, I'd love to receive
    your advice about our presentations.
[05:36] ---
    Coming from the man who won
    the contract for Four Card Sector 17,
[05:40] ---
    I find that hard to believe.
[05:41] ---
    I'd like to hear your opinion, Miorine.
[05:44] ---
    What?
[05:45] ---
    Are you two friends?
[05:47] ---
    Please. I just can't get rid of him.
[05:49] ---
    Don't be that way.
[05:51] ---
    We used to see each other
    a lot at these events.
[05:55] ---
    Anyway, what brings you here today?
[05:57] ---
    I know you didn't come to see the President.
[06:00] ---
    I'm just accompanying her.
[06:02] ---
    She keeps whining about wanting
    to talk to Elan face-to-face!
[06:04] ---
    M-M-Ms. Miorine!
[06:06] ---
    You've changed, Miorine.
[06:06] ---
    Th-Th-That's confidential!
[06:09] ---
    Acting for another person's sake...
[06:11] ---
    The Miorine I knew would never do that.
[06:14] ---
    Is this more of the Mercurian Miss's magic?
[06:16] ---
    I don't know what you mean.
[06:18] ---
    Come on, let's go!
[06:20] ---
    R-Right!
[06:23] ---
    Ms. Miorine, wait for me!
[06:26] ---
    You've definitely changed.
[06:29] ---
    Too bad.
[06:32] ---
    Oh, my! Look at you!
[06:34] ---
    Mom!
[06:36] ---
    You said you weren't coming!
[06:38] ---
    I finished work earlier than expected.
[06:41] ---
    The dress looks truly lovely on you!
[06:45] ---
    Mr. Godoy, long time no see.
[06:49] ---
    And this young lady is...
[06:51] ---
    Oh right, I have to introduce you.
[06:53] ---
    Ms. Miorine.
[06:55] ---
    She's the one who loaned me this dress.
[06:58] ---
    I'm Miorine Rembran.
[07:01] ---
    I'm Suletta's mother,
[07:02] ---
    Prospera Mercury.
[07:04] ---
    I'm so pleased to meet you again.
[07:07] ---
    I'm sorry you had to see me like that.
[07:09] ---
    Not at all! I was quite impressed!
[07:13] ---
    "Hypocritical loser of a father!"
    Wasn't that it?
[07:16] ---
    I'm of the opinion that we owe
    Aerial's approval to you.
[07:21] ---
    Thank you very much.
[07:25] ---
    Mom, you've met Ms. Miorine--
[07:28] ---
    Suletta?
[07:29] ---
    Your mother is thirsty.
[07:31] ---
    Can you bring me something to drink?
[07:33] ---
    Sure, got it!
[07:36] ---
    Well, in that case, I'll--
[07:38] ---
    Has it always been that way...
    between you and your father?
[07:43] ---
    Is this really the place to ask?
[07:45] ---
    Well, if you and Suletta are married,
[07:48] ---
    we're going to be relatives.
[07:51] ---
    Shouldn't I want to get along
    with the bride's family?
[07:59] ---
    The man responsible for suppressing
    the Vanadis Incident 21 years ago.
[08:04] ---
    And most of all, the hero
    who banned the Gundams.
[08:07] ---
    I'd think he'd be a splendid father.
[08:09] ---
    That glory's all in the past.
[08:12] ---
    Our generation knows nothing of Gundams.
[08:15] ---
    You're hard to please.
[08:17] ---
    What's so unforgivable about him?
[08:20] ---
    He always looks down on me
[08:23] ---
    and makes decisions without consulting me.
[08:25] ---
    That day, didn't you think
    he was being unreasonable, too?
[08:30] ---
    But most of all...
[08:35] ---
    No matter what,
[08:36] ---
    I will never accept
[08:38] ---
    a man like that as my father!
[08:45] ---
    What's your problem?
[08:46] ---
    Oh, please excuse me.
[08:48] ---
    And now, being unveiled
    for the first time,
[08:51] ---
    a promotion for the new color version.
[08:52] ---
    That beautiful dress...
[08:53] ---
    Enjoy!
[08:54] ---
    the high heels
    and accessories you're wearing,
[08:57] ---
    that you can live in the Chairman's
    office rather than a House,
[09:01] ---
    the respect you receive from others...
[09:04] ---
    When I remember all of that
[09:05] ---
    is because your father
    is the president of the Benerit Group,
[09:09] ---
    it somehow strikes me as funny.
[09:14] ---
    Oh, I'm sorry if I've offended you.
[09:18] ---
    But first you must throw away
    that adorable pride,
[09:22] ---
    dear daughter of President Delling.
[09:27] ---
    Miss!
[09:29] ---
    Are you okay?
[09:30] ---
    I-I-I'm so sorry!
[09:32] ---
    Wh-What should I do?
[09:34] ---
    Pathetic.
[09:36] ---
    How could my brother fall
    for such an oafish woman?
[09:40] ---
    It's about time. Do as I instructed.
[09:44] ---
    Yes, Dad.
[09:47] ---
    Wh-Wh-What am I going to...?
[09:49] ---
    What do I--
[09:50] ---
    Here you are.
[09:53] ---
    Are you okay?
[09:58] ---
    I've been waiting for you,
    President Delling.
[10:22] ---
    Have this one, if you like.
[10:25] ---
    Oh, thank you very much!
[10:27] ---
    I wasn't really sure what to do.
[10:29] ---
    You're welcome.
[10:31] ---
    In fact, I'm the one
    who owes you thanks, Nika Nanaura.
[10:36] ---
    Not at all...
[10:39] ---
    What?
[10:41] ---
    Here you are.
[10:43] ---
    Uh... I'm very sorry!
[10:46] ---
    It's fine. Don't worry
    about the handkerchief.
[10:49] ---
    That's not what I meant.
[10:51] ---
    You didn't show up the other day,
[10:54] ---
    and I couldn't contact you afterwards.
[10:58] ---
    I was worried.
[11:01] ---
    No, in fact...
[11:02] ---
    I've been wanting
    to apologize to you all this time.
[11:07] ---
    Because of Peil company business,
[11:09] ---
    I've been taking
    a leave of absence since then.
[11:11] ---
    The front I went to is affected
    by strong magnetic storms.
[11:15] ---
    I'm sorry to have worried you.
[11:16] ---
    Then... you'll be coming back to school?
[11:20] ---
    Of course. I promise!
[11:24] ---
    I'm glad...
[11:26] ---
    to see you smiling now.
[11:30] ---
    Now then, we should get moving.
[11:34] ---
    The Holder has to take the stage soon.
[11:36] ---
    I'll go with you.
[11:39] ---
    Nika!
[11:40] ---
    What?
[11:41] ---
    Have you seen Suletta?
[11:42] ---
    Were you separated?
[11:43] ---
    Unbelievable. Where did she wander off to?
[11:50] ---
    Ladies and gentlemen,
[11:52] ---
    we will now turn over the stage
[11:55] ---
    to the CEOs of Peil Technologies
[11:58] ---
    for a special presentation.
[12:05] ---
    Greetings. It is my great honor today
[12:10] ---
    to present to you two students
    of the Asticassia School of Technology
[12:15] ---
    who represent its bright future.
[12:16] ---
    Suletta?
[12:24] ---
    And now, let me reintroduce the pilot
[12:28] ---
    of the Pharact, the mobile suit
    that is our pride and joy,
[12:32] ---
    Elan Ceres.
[12:34] ---
    And next to him,
[12:36] ---
    the pilot who so impressively
    defeated the Pharact in a recent duel.
[12:40] ---
    The current Holder, Ms. Suletta Mercury.
[12:44] ---
    I-I-I'm...
[12:48] ---
    Stand up straight!
[12:54] ---
    I'm Suletta Mercury!
[12:56] ---
    As someone from Mercury,
[12:59] ---
    I'm going to learn so many
    new things at this school...
[13:02] ---
    and every day is fulfilling!
[13:05] ---
    I will continue to do my best...
    in my studies!
[13:13] ---
    Thank you, Ms. Suletta Mercury.
[13:16] ---
    By the way, your mobile suit
    is quite a unique machine.
[13:20] ---
    Does its operation require complex skills?
[13:24] ---
    Or could it be your own special talent?
[13:27] ---
    Aerial's the amazing one!
[13:29] ---
    Aerial and I have been
    together since childhood.
[13:33] ---
    She's a precious family member!
[13:35] ---
    Family? What a lovely sentiment.
[13:38] ---
    I have one more question, then.
[13:40] ---
    We've heard from Elan Ceres
[13:42] ---
    that he felt a strange sensation
    during his recent duel with you.
[13:48] ---
    For a split second,
    I picked up a strange response.
[13:51] ---
    Almost as if your machine
    and mine had become entangled.
[13:55] ---
    Didn't you feel it too?
[13:58] ---
    I could hear your voice
    more than ever today.
[14:02] ---
    Yes. I did.
[14:04] ---
    I see. Then there's no mistake.
[14:08] ---
    Huh? What?
[14:11] ---
    The truth is now clear.
[14:14] ---
    Shin Sei Development Corporation's
    mobile suit Aerial is...
[14:18] ---
    a Gundam!
[14:22] ---
    A Gundam?!
[14:25] ---
    Allow me to explain.
[14:27] ---
    Our company's mobile suit Pharact
    was using the GUND Format.
[14:32] ---
    This has been revealed to us
[14:34] ---
    by reports from the Dueling Committee
    and our internal auditor.
[14:37] ---
    That phenomenon is the result of mutual
    interference between GUND Formats.
[14:44] ---
    Only Gundams respond to other Gundams.
[14:47] ---
    Which means the Aerial is,
    without a doubt, a Gundam!
[14:53] ---
    W-Wait a minute!
[14:55] ---
    Aerial isn't a Gundam!
[14:57] ---
    You already admitted the truth, didn't you?
[15:01] ---
    In your own words.
[15:03] ---
    It's not true!
[15:04] ---
    Building and possessing a Gundam is
    against the Cathedra Agreement.
[15:09] ---
    How will the Peil company
    make amends for this?
[15:12] ---
    As this is a grave matter, our company
    promises to dispose of the machine...
[15:16] ---
    ...and to dissolve the development
    team that produced it.
[15:21] ---
    In that case, Shin Sei should
    accept the same settlement.
[15:26] ---
    Y-You can't!
[15:27] ---
    This is absurd! They already...
[15:30] ---
    Those creeps. They intend
    to bury Aerial along with it.
[15:34] ---
    Wait, Ms. Nugen!
[15:36] ---
    She was truly unaware
    that her machine is a Gundam!
[15:39] ---
    It would be reasonable
    to let the developer explain.
[15:43] ---
    Mom!
[15:44] ---
    Mom!
[15:46] ---
    Mom... Mom!
[15:49] ---
    What was so important
    that we could only discuss it outside?
[15:54] ---
    It's a message from my father.
[15:56] ---
    He'd like to renegotiate
    your previous deal.
[16:01] ---
    Aerial isn't like that!
[16:03] ---
    She's not a Gundam!
[16:04] ---
    So it was a Gundam, after all.
[16:05] ---
    My mom, too...
[16:06] ---
    This is the end for Shin Sei.
[16:06] ---
    ...said that Aerial...
[16:07] ---
    ...isn't a Gundam!
[16:08] ---
    Naturally.
[16:10] ---
    This is bad. At this rate, Aerial...
[16:13] ---
    Aerial is...
[16:13] ---
    ...family to me!
[16:14] ---
    The Benerit Group won't overlook a Gundam.
[16:16] ---
    This is wrong!
[16:18] ---
    Indeed.
[16:20] ---
    Please!
[16:21] ---
    Please listen to me!
[16:22] ---
    Your decision, Mr. President?
[16:28] ---
    I won't let you dispose of Aerial!
[16:36] ---
    Aerial is a superior machine that defeated
    both the Jeturk and Peil companies.
[16:42] ---
    Destroying it would be a waste!
[16:45] ---
    Why are you here, Mistress Miorine?
[16:49] ---
    Isn't it obvious?
[16:50] ---
    Because I'm that girl's bride!
[16:54] ---
    Ms. Miorine?
[16:56] ---
    You seem to misunderstand the issue here.
[17:00] ---
    An inhuman weapon that steals the lives
    of its pilots cannot be tolerated.
[17:05] ---
    Suletta's alive and well!
[17:07] ---
    Is denying and disposing of things
    all you can possibly do?
[17:10] ---
    You're saying there's an option
    other than disposal?
[17:14] ---
    Establish connection, please.
[17:19] ---
    Based on past financial statements,
[17:21] ---
    I estimate that
    after disposing of the Pharact
[17:23] ---
    and dissolving the
    development team responsible,
[17:27] ---
    Peil's loss will amount to 120 billion.
[17:29] ---
    I thus propose twice that amount,
    240 billion...
[17:32] ---
    as the investment goal
    for my new business plan.
[17:38] ---
    We'll purchase Shin Sei's and Peil's
    development teams through M&A,
[17:43] ---
    then merge them together.
[17:45] ---
    A new company will be established,
[17:47] ---
    managed and operated with the protection
    of life as its top priority!
[17:52] ---
    M-Ms. Miorine?
[17:54] ---
    Aerial isn't a Gun--
[17:55] ---
    Shut up!
[17:56] ---
    The name of the new company will be...
[18:01] ---
    GUND-ARM!
[18:03] ---
    GUND...
[18:05] ---
    ...ARM?
[18:08] ---
    S-Stop messing around!
[18:09] ---
    Everyone gathered here
[18:11] ---
    wants a spark to reignite
    the Benerit Group's profitability.
[18:15] ---
    The company and I will be
    responsible for bioethical issues
[18:18] ---
    and complying with
    the Agreement's restrictions.
[18:20] ---
    If investment is by anonymous contract,
    and it's independent from the group...
[18:24] ---
    then there's no risk to anyone!
[18:28] ---
    If any of you see value in this idea,
    please invest in the establishment
[18:33] ---
    of GUND-ARM, Inc.!
[18:40] ---
    It's no good, though.
[18:41] ---
    That's not enough.
[18:51] ---
    Why?
[18:53] ---
    There's no value in your proposal.
[18:56] ---
    They're all saying that.
[18:59] ---
    No matter how big and lofty you may sound,
[19:02] ---
    you have absolutely
    no credibility to back it up.
[19:07] ---
    Naturally.
[19:09] ---
    Get out.
[19:11] ---
    I have no further interest
    in indulging a child's pride.
[19:16] ---
    Please wait!
[19:21] ---
    Ms. Miorine?
[19:24] ---
    I'll protect you.
[19:26] ---
    Leave it to me.
[19:33] ---
    But first you must throw away
    that adorable pride.
[19:37] ---
    It's not pride!
[19:53] ---
    What now?
[19:55] ---
    I want you to invest in my company.
[19:58] ---
    As you say,
[20:00] ---
    nobody is willing
    to support my proposal as is.
[20:03] ---
    That's why I want to borrow your credibility
[20:07] ---
    as president of the Benerit Group!
[20:11] ---
    Please!
[20:23] ---
    You can't run away.
[20:26] ---
    The Gundam's curse
    is a heavier burden than you think.
[20:58] ---
    Huh.
[20:59] ---
    Well done.
[21:02] ---
    The winds seem to be shifting.
[21:05] ---
    Indeed.
[21:07] ---
    So you accepted it, after all...
[21:10] ---
    Gundam.
[21:13] ---
    Ms. Miorine!
[21:17] ---
    Thank you very much!
[21:20] ---

[21:22] ---
    My, things have livened up in here.
[21:22] ---
    ...will surely deliver results...
[21:25] ---
    ...that will be worthy of your trust!
[21:25] ---
    Shall we continue our conversation?
[21:29] ---
    Unbelievable.
[21:30] ---

    1\an8}We appreciate your support.
[21:49] ---
    If it's with you, I know that I'm
    leaving my daughters in good hands.
[21:55] ---
    Worry not.
[21:57] ---
    We're looking forward to working with you.
[22:01] ---
    M-Mom!
[22:04] ---
    Aerial isn't a Gundam, right?
[22:06] ---
    You said she wasn't--
[22:08] ---
    No, she's a Gundam.
[22:11] ---
    What?
[22:13] ---
    I'm so sorry. The truth is out now.
[22:17] ---
    Aerial...
[22:19] ---
    is a Gundam.
[23:54] ---
    Next time on
    Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury,
[23:58] ---
    "Their Choice."*
