[[WMG: Episode 24 will wrap up Suletta, Prospera, and Miorine's stories but SAL will remain as the antagonists.]]
Judging by Episode 23, it's very likely the "Witch from Mercury" story will end but SAL and the Peil house are going to be the next antagonists in the next season. This will be just like ''Gundam SEED Destiny'' and ''Zeta Gundam'' where the next season would have different protagonists. And it's obvious that Sunrise is planning to expand the Ad Stella timeline given the way they portray SAL as the antagonist, the Peil house siding them to gain control of the Benerit group, and the ongoing Earthian-Spacian conflict with Dawn of Fold still existing.

[[WMG: Sophie and Norea are both Enhanced Persons.]]
Neither of them have any sort of visible or even alluded relatives, and when Prospera destroys the cache of Lfriths, she reads off a file that lists their names as ''code names''; neither Norea nor Sophie speak to each other as if they have a "true" name, implying that they could've had their memories prior to their enhancements erased just like the Elans. What's more disturbing about this is that they could quite possibly have been enhanced not by Peil Technologies, but by Ochs Earth -- and the Space Assembly League by proxy.

[[WMG: HomosexualReproduction exists.]]
Miorine mentions it isn't unusual for same-sex relationships. Considering the advancement in technology, it doesn't seem impossible that Science Babies could be a thing.

[[WMG: Cloning is either illegal or clones have no rights.]]
Gundam Witch isn't the first Gundam series to feature clones, but this series hasn't actually addressed if there are any laws regarding cloning. Considering the fact the Elan experiments aren't exactly legal, it wouldn't be a stretch to believe cloning is illegal. Alternatively, it could be legal for clones to be made, but they might not be recognized as people, so they can used for experimentation. Another possibility is that no laws have been made regarding cloning.

[[WMG: The SAL will betray Suletta and the others and/or be turned into a scapegoat.]]
For all of Beneritt Group's corruption, the SAL isn't exactly the bastion of purity either. In an alternative to one of the above guesses, the SAL will scapegoat Suletta due to their inability to stop Lady Prospera on their own.

[[WMG: Elnora was the one who originally named the Calibarn.]]
There is probably enough evidence to say that Elnora is a bit of a fan of Shakespeare and ''Theatre/TheTempest'' and thus it might not be unreasonable to assume that she sometime in the past heard of the Calibarn's ominous title and thus named it after a character from the play that fit it. And Dr Cardo, being the kind grandmother figure that she was, decided to go along with it and change the machines name officially from whatever it used to be to Calibarn. This would also explain why the machine does not fit the normal naming scheme of the Vanadis suits.

* Episode 22 more or less is a fusion of these points with Suletta having a brief confrontation with Guel and winning back her Holder status. She subsequently helps Miorine regain her resolve to face her mistakes and Lady Prospera. The rest of the episode primarily focused on preparation against Quiet Zero and the final battle began at the end of the episode.

* Jossed in Episode 22. They made up after Miorine acknowledges her mistakes for trusting Prospera which led to Quinnharbor's destruction and the development of Quiet Zero. Suletta even comforts her saying that she too made mistakes such as killing people because that's what he mother told her to do. In the end, both girls realized that they were pawns to Prospera which is why Miorine chooses to support Suletta to confront her mother.

* Jossed. Unlike what most fans believe, Suletta chooses to move forward and help others when in need which was shown in Episode 20 after Norea's killing spree. Also, she doesn't hold any antagonistic Miorine because she understood why she did that and how much Miorine suffered for the consequences of her mistakes.

* Jossed on the Lauda vs. Suletta because he'll be fighting his brother though Suletta and Miorine did reunite.

[[WMG: The final episodes of Season Two will contain lots of callbacks/parallels.]]
It makes sense in a narrative sense something like that would happen. We have already experienced some darker and negative parallels to certain scenes. Hopefully, other callbacks/parallels will be more positive, such as the promise scene in Episode 11 or Suletta offering Miorine her hand in Episode 12, and Miorine is willing to take it.

[[WMG: Eri will betray Prospera and maybe Prospera will take Calliban for herself]]
Eri's sole wish was for Suletta to be free and happy away from her mother's plot. Now Suletta is not only barreling right back into the thick of fighting but the whole plot already endangered her life. She is driving a Gundam that is practically guaranteed to kill her unless she has the same ability to synch as Eri. Eri will abandon Prospera to save her little sister. Meanwhile Prospera will board Calliban to use it to complete her plot but will be either stopped or killed by the curse as Eri and Suletta try to stop her.

[[WMG: Guel and Suletta are deliberate contrasts to each other]]
This is less a WMG and more an observation, Guel and Suletta are very similar. Both a prodigal Mobile Suit pilots who come from toxic family situations that left them quite messed up. Guel's father was physically abusive towards Guel and constantly berated him to shape him into his preferred type of heir. And Suletta meanwhile was emotionally manipulated to be meek and dependent on her mother's guidance as a substitute for Aerial. Likewise, while both love their respective parent, both eventually become aware of how toxic their parent is and start becoming better people once removed from that influence.

In addition, both Guel and Suletta's character growth is sparked by the same event, losing their position as Holder after a long streak of uninterrupted wins, which shatters their view of themselves. Both receive a reputation as unbeatable pilots who suffer a sudden defeat that knocks them out of their position as the school's top dog and starts their journey of self-discovery.

[[WMG: Prospera's "manipulation" of Suletta in Episode 12 was mostly accidental]]
She couldn't possibly have known that Suletta would be placed in a position to splat the terrorist. Instead of assuming that she was trying to turn Suletta into a killer, it's more reasonable to assume that she was trying to influence Suletta to continue trusting her even though she'd just killed several people in front of her eyes.

Plus, this wouldn't be the first time that [[Anime/CodeGeass Okouchi Ichiro wrote a scene where a manipulative character accidentally influences their victim into the act of killing...]]

[[WMG: Ericht will use Quiet Zero to carry the data storm of Calibarn.]]
Specifically, she will notice how Suletta launched in "the Monster" and once activated will realize how it puts her sister in mortal peril. As such she will go against her mothers wishes and use Quiet Zero to protect Suletta from Calibarn's monstrous blowback.

[[WMG: Calibarn will be immune to Quiet Zero.]]
This is mostly a result of its lack of any kind of data storm filter allowing it to produce such a powerful Permet signal that it is able to brute force its way through the Quiet Zero data storm field. Of course, Quiet Zero would still be dangerous as this ability comes at a price and no one would otherwise be insane enough to even attempt this.

He makes it clear that he's joining Earth House on their way to Benerit HQ so he can get out of Asticassia, but won't necessarily join their exact mission, stating he has somewhere else he's going; more than likely he's going to eradicate Peil Technologies (especially their leadership) to make sure no one else ever has to suffer like him and the other Enhanced Persons.

* Episode 21 indeed features Miorine crying when the weight of her mistakes finally takes its toll on her.



* Considering the fact that Lady Prospera and Aerial are making use of Quiet Zero to take care of those that oppose them in Episode 21, it appears the stage is set.






* Episode 21 of Witch does involve Suletta having the resolve to take action, and she gets a Gundam that could potentially harm her, but the Earth House has also decided to accompany her along with Elan 5. At the end of the episode, Landa seems hellbent on blaming Miorine and getting revenge on her for the tragedies that befell his family which might lead to a pre-final battle confrontation as well as a reunion between Suletta and Miorine.



Guel could potentially give it back to her because he recognizes Suletta is Miorine's rightful 'White Knight'. Additionally, it would further contrast him from Shaddiq. While Guel previously recognized Suletta's feelings for Miorine, he would then be actively endorsing them when Shaddiq was unable to recognize Miorine's own agency.

[[WMG: Episode 22 will feature Landa vs. Suletta which will lead to a Suletta and Miorine reunion.]]
Episode 21 ended with Landa looking at the Gundam and apparently blaming Miorine for the tragedies of his family. Due to Guel losing his mobile suit earlier, Suletta may need to intervene to protect Miorine. Additionally, this episode would allow us to see how Suletta will make use of a Gundam that isn't Aerial prior to the final battle.

[[WMG: The ending of the second cour will mirror the ending of IBO Season 1.]]
Some Gundam series have certain similarities when it comes to concluding the season or the series, but it seems like Witch might have similarities to Season 1 of IBO.

For IBO: Episode 21 was a tragedy that concluded with the death of Biscuit. Episode 22 was the episode the remaining members of Tekkadan resolved to move forward to complete the mission. Episode 23 involved the final preparations along with a pre-final battle confrontation with the person responsible for Biscuit's death. Episodes 24-25 was the final battle for the season along with the aftermath which set the stage of the second season.

For Witch: Episode 20 was a tragedy involving the destruction of the school along with the deaths or potential deaths of several named characters. Episode 21 is titled, "What We Can Do Now" which presumably may feature Suletta finally having the resolve and gaining the means to fulfill her resolve to help Miorine and stop Prospera. Episode 22 could set the stage for the final battle. Episodes 23-24 would presumably be the final battle and the Dénouement which could potentially set the stage for more episodes or projects.

The Season Two summary did indicate that Suletta and Miorine would face the Gundam curse together which has yet to come true. Episodes 21 and/or 22 could presumably enable that part of the summary to finally come true.

[[WMG: A Permit Level higher than 8 will be achieved.]]
Level 8 would be an unusual number for the series to end with in terms of 'power level'. It wouldn't surprise me if a Level 9 or 10 gets achieved.

[[WMG: Suletta will get her Holder uniform back.]]
Based on how marketing material still portrays Suletta with her Holder uniform along with the opening and closings still depicting her in the uniform with Guel still in his regular uniform, it seems like Suletta would be given her rightful outfit back. Guel is shown to not have been comfortable with cheating/betraying Suletta as per Miorine's plan, and it was established in Episodes 2 & 3 that previous duel results can be disputed/nullified. Additionally, Episode 4 indicated that Miorine might not necessarily be the only one who can bestow the Holder Uniform on Suletta.

Guel could potentially give it back to her because he recognizes Suletta is Miorine's rightful 'White Knight'. Additionally, it would further contrast him from Shaddiq. While Guel previously recognized Suletta's feelings for Miorine, he would then be actively endorsing them when Shaddiq was unable to recognize Miorine's own agency.

Regardless, even if Suletta has her uniform back, she might not necessarily see herself as Miorine's fiancé. Even before Miorine betrayed her, Suletta was asking Miorine to 'choose' her. Suletta would rather Miorine to choose her rather than her being forced to based on the uniform she wears.

[[WMG: An future Suletta will an evolved version of the Holder uniform.]]
It isn't unusual for characters to get altered versions of their trademark clothing in the epilogue of a series to indicate a time skip along with showcasing that while they change in some ways, they remain the same in others.

For some much-needed levity after whatever remains to happen in the final episodes, when all is said and done both Guel and Miorine will have to determine who forms the OfficialCouple with Suletta.

[[WMG: Prospera's endgame involves devastating both Earth ''and'' Space]]
Prospera Mercury is a calculating individual who leaves nothing to chance as far as her plans are concerned, and likely wouldn't have pulled her FalseFlagOperation in Quinharbor unless it was necessary, which leads me to believe that her revenge isn't just against Delling and the MSDC; it's against all sides even partially responsible for the fate of the Vanadis Insitute. In her eyes, Spacians still hold the blame for murdering everyone she ever knew and loved, but Earth also is at fault, as it was the Earthian-run Ochs Earth corporation that forced Vanadis to use the technology that saved her life to make weapons, a bastardization of the GUND's ideals.

[[WMG:Suletta will protect Miorine and allow herself to become a scapegoat]]
Episode 19 more or less ends with Suletta coming to the conclusion of figuring certain things out regarding Prospera and Aerial, and she seems resolved to do something. It was also established that Schwartzette was completed. Suletta might decide to put her confused feelings for Miorine aside, so she can protect her. She may even decide to take responsibility for Prospera’s crimes due to being a clone that was used to help her get revenge. That would add to the irony of Miorine’s actions backfiring and putting Suletta in greater danger than before.

[[WMG:There is a deeper conspiracy going on]]
Namely that the Space Assembly League have been manipulating things from the shadows for years now. Originally they were after the GUND-Arm technology and thus used Ochs Earth and Vanadis to get it. Once that was done they engineered the witch hunt against the Gundams, using Delling as a useful pawn while taking the technology for themselves in order to get an edge over the Benerit Group. Somewhere along the line, both Prospera and Delling learned of this and began to cooperate despite their less than stellar opinion of each other in order to deal with the root so to speak. Yes, Prospera is still after Delling, but right now she has bigger fish to fry.

[[WMG:Aerial will be the final villain suit of the series]]
In short, it will be a subversion of the usual setup where the lead Gundam fills the villain role while the mobile suit that would usually fall into the villain role will be the heroes final suit. Of course, this means that Suletta will not get back Aerial and perhaps will be forced to destroy her.
