    Okay so catching up on Mashle I am genuinely surprised, and as someone who was a big fan of the first few books as a child and who is now utterly disgusted at Rowling, at how much of an explicit parody parts of it are to Harry Potter. And like it's parody is good, it accurately cuts to some of the big problems underneath the series' writing and worldbuilding.

    With elements of One Punch Man / Black Clover, I guess, considering that, like in BC, it also has the man character being the only person in the wizard country who ever hit the gym.

    mashle just has a very fake world. There's zero real world building depth. And frankly, the characters are kinda the same in that regard. The gags can be funny though.

    Okay, actual spoilers:
    Oooooooooof. Interestingly, the Daribalde AI seems to help out Guel. Not only that, but Eri's "I'm sorry" - What's the bettering that Eri could have avoided the shutdown, but chose to take action to protect suletta?

    Things are gonna go to shit when it comeso ut that Guel is the one who killed his dad. Pretty sure him acuqiring Aerial + the reaction to the AI is how he'll end up with Gundam Schwarette

    I've actually been wondering for awhile now if what might ultimately end up thwarting Prospera's plans is Eri's own will. Assuming Eri also views Suletta as a sister, and it seems from what we can tell she does, she probably won't acquiesce to any plan that ultimately puts Suletta in harm's way.

    I feel at this point that Guel killing his dad as a plot element may solely be for Guel’s development and isn’t a loaded gun waiting to go off. Guel is the only person who knows what happened, so it’d have to be by his own admission. On top of that, it’s somewhat of a hard sell to say without hard evidence that Guel Jeturk, after disappearing for a short period, piloted a mercenary mobile suit and deliberately killed his father. Maybe the mercenaries have some record from the mobile suit, but it seems like he’s proven himself an honorable, potentially influential guy who has now experienced firsthand some of the worst of what’s going on on Earth.

    Basically, (hopefully) I think it’s just being used as Vim’s death at his hands broke him down and his short but impactful experience on Earth following that built him back up as a new man.

    Speculation from today's Witch from Mercury
    Didn't Prospera's helmet light up with a permet pattern when Aerial got disabled? Did they transfer Eri from Aerial into Prospera's helmet?

    Perhaps Prospera only needed Suletta and Aerial to get Eri to rise to a certain permet score, and then she could discard both Suletta and Aerial and place Eri inside whatever Quiet Zero turns out to be.

    WfM 16/17:
    Last episode Prospera said that Aerial had to hit Permet score 8 as part of the process of getting Eri back with Quiet Zero.

    Her helmet flashed when Suletta upped her Permet score to take control of the Darilbalde’s drones, implying that she hit a higher score than the 6 we’ve seen previously. I’m guessing that she hit 7 and that primed Prospera’s helmet, since Eri was still in the Aerial before it shut down (telling Suletta “sorry.”)

    Berserk 372
    ok it's been a minute and i gotta complain again i am sorry
    the near-total loss of dialogue and internal narration, a thing there was so much of in Miura's Berserk, stings here maybe the most, because it feels like this is the one place it should have worked? This sequence should be upsetting and haunting in its silence, but because the new chapters have been so goddamn sparse with characterization already it just feels like another one of those.

    honestly though even casca blazed out of her goddamn mind should have more to say and feel about this considering y'know, her entire history

    I dunno. dumping her right back into the shit could have worked, but in this condensed, less characterful format it just feels awful in a way that isn't even narratively satisfying. really bummed about this one!

    I will say, i adore how G-Witch has handled it's characters overall.

    Guel is osmeone who well, i woulda hated in this series. He's kinda becoming a low key favorite now? His development has been fantastic.

    I remembered her helmet lighting up, but must have gotten the order of events wrong.

    I was thinking Eri might have been transferred to the helmet since the plan involved Suletta losing which means Guel now owns Aerial. And Prospera likely wouldn't want to give up Aerial, unless Eri was no longer inside it.

    No.
    No, Mom.
    I don't mind going, but not Suletta. She's such a good girl.
    If you want revenge, you and I can do it ourselves. Just keep her out of this.
    But Mom can't hear my voice.

    Do shows usually break for Mother’s Day or is this the studio having a bit of fun while also giving the team more time/buffer?

    I don't think any other show is taking a break, and given how this episode ended, it's probably pre-planned to extended production time.

    I've been thinking about Permet. From what I understand the permet is basically an ore that is capable of transferring information, hence why Eri is "in" permet-land. Anything else containing permet could also then theoretically hold Eri -- gundams, helmets, other people with permet implamanted?
    That would explain the mystery of why Suletta looks so much like Eri. It would also be a big pay-off to all the interaction with Elan as well. I think this is just twisted enough to be plausible.
