Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway's Flash

Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway's Flash: The Witch of Kirke, the second chapter of the three-part film series, is streaming without limits on Prime Video as of August 31, 2026, after rental and purchase distribution began earlier that month. It remains the most recent installment of the trilogy.

Synthesized from 3 Yomimono stories · updated Oct 12

The second of three Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway's Flash films, The Witch of Kirke, followed a theatrical run with paid home distribution on Prime Video before moving to unlimited streaming. It opened in Japanese theaters on January 30 and has earned 2.7 billion yen, surpassing the 2021 first film. Rental and purchase distribution started August 17, with rental at 550 yen and purchase at 2,550 yen. Unlimited streaming for Prime members began at midnight on Monday, August 31, 2026.

The film runs 1 hour 46 minutes and is set in U.C. 0105, 12 years after Char's rebellion. It follows Hathaway Noa, leader of the anti-Earth Federation movement Mafty, as he prepares to attack the Adelaide conference; Federation Colonel Kenneth Sleg, who plans to annihilate Mafty; and Gigi Andalusia, a girl with mysterious powers who departs for Hong Kong. Kensho Ono voices Hathaway, Reina Ueda voices Gigi, and Junichi Suwabe voices Kenneth. Shukou Murase directs, Yasuyuki Muto writes the screenplay, and Hiroyuki Sawano composes the music. The opening theme is SZA's 'Snooze' and the ending theme is Guns N' Roses' 'Sweet Child O' Mine'.

The streaming rollout was reported as distribution plans firmed up: the August 4 announcement set the August 17 rental and purchase date and the August 31 unlimited window, and later reports confirmed the unlimited start. Bandai Namco Filmworks handles distribution in Japan. Prime Video also carries the first Hathaway's Flash film and Char's Counterattack, so viewers can trace the earlier events the sequel references.
