In case you’re unfamiliar, Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury is the latest TV anime in the Gundam franchise, and it’s the first for a long time following Iron-Blooded Orphan’s premiere seven years ago. Aside from being the first Gundam anime in years, it’s also significant for being the first TV anime in the franchise to feature a female protagonist in Suletta Mercury. While Suletta is the focus of the story, many fans have gravitated toward Chuchu, the Earthian first-year student with a grudge against any and every Spacian. She is now considered a fan favorite thanks to her brash and hot-headed personality which many viewers enjoyed seeing. After all, she went out of her way to exit her mobile suit to punch a Spacian student who sabotaged Suletta’s mobile suit. While she has a fiery personality, this is contrasted with her appearance, especially her fluffy pink hair. Though many fans wondered how she can fit her poofy hair when she suits up. There were many theories and fanart shared online regarding Chuchu’s hair mystery, but now, we finally know the answer.
